Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Because there was a banquet tonight, and the organizer was the current Queen of Chen Kingdom, the three parties who were meeting in the palace all gave face and left early to go back and prepare.

When Bai Xiaotao came back in gorgeous clothes, before she could even drink a sip of water, Yao Jun called her over and pushed her wheelchair to the courtyard to eat.

On the way, Bai Xiaotao thought about what happened in the morning and asked, "Father, did something happen between you and Aunt Xi?"

Yao Jun sat leisurely in the wheelchair, a white jade bone dancing on his fingertips, and replied casually: "It's nothing, it's an adult's business, children should not interfere."

Bai Xiaotao frowned: "Father, I'm already 16, I'm not a child anymore!"

In this era, it is not uncommon to see people getting married and having children at the age of 14, so 16 is indeed not young.

Yao Jun didn't respond to the conversation, but instead said, "I heard that you've been getting close to Chen Yanxi recently. Do you have any ideas?"

Bai Xiaotao was speechless: "Father, what can I think? She is a woman."

"It's not impossible."

"what!"

Bai Xiaotao looked in disbelief at the adoptive father who had raised her for ten years. She really didn't expect that he would be so... so... indescribable!

Yao Jun coughed twice, knowing that he had said the wrong thing. "It's nothing, just pretend you didn't hear it. By the way, I don't know what delicious food your aunt Xi made for dinner."

Bai Xiaotao didn't want to continue that topic either, it was too taboo!

"Didn't Aunt Xi tell you?"

Yao Jun turned his head to look at the weeds on the roadside, thinking of the little guy being upset with him again in the afternoon, and chuckled, "Wouldn't it be more of a surprise this way?"

Bai Xiaotao thought about it and didn't understand what the surprise was about, but since her father said so, then so be it. She had no intention of refutation.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard and Bai Xiaotao closed the gate, Yao Jun stood up impatiently and strode into the house.

Then Yao Jun was stunned by the scene before him.

In the middle of the dining table was a large charcoal basin with burning charcoal. Above the charcoal fire was a small four-legged tripod that was shining with golden light, with milky white juice bubbling inside.

Next to the charcoal basin were large bowls filled with vegetables, green vegetables, fresh and tender lamb slices cut into even thicknesses, and fresh fish slices as thin as cicada wings.

"Fire...what are you doing? You're lighting a fire on the table!"

Yao Jun was about to shout out the word "hotpot" when he suddenly realized what was happening and swallowed the word "pot".

Chen Xi didn't even look at him, nor did he react much. He just thought Yao Jun was too surprised and exclaimed.

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of mutton and put it into the pot. After it is cooked, coat it with the homemade simple dipping sauce and put it in your mouth.

Although the flavor of the dipping sauce is missing, the extreme deliciousness of the lamb itself can make up for this deficiency, and you can also better appreciate the taste of the ingredients themselves.

The mutton of this era is absolutely raised naturally, and the sheep are slightly different from those of modern times.

Although Chen Xi was very angry in the afternoon, he still placed bowls and chopsticks on the table for the father and son, and their seats remained the same.

After eating a piece of mutton, Chen Xi raised his eyes and said indifferently: "Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for someone to serve you?"

Xiao Luo, who was sitting next to Chen Xi, was very panicked and wanted to remind the young lady to be careful with her tone because she saw Bai Xiaotao following behind Yao Jun.

Privately, it doesn't matter what happens to Chen Xi and Yao Jun. If Bai Xiaotao is their biological son, it wouldn't matter much, but he is an adopted son after all.

Xiao Luo didn't want Chen Xi to become enemies with him because of this, but at this time, she couldn't remind him.

As a maid, I cannot embarrass my master in front of anyone, not even my master's husband. Even if I want to say something, I have to wait until later and remind him privately.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaotao's face darkened, but looking at her father in front of her, she could only swallow her anger and not show it.

Yao Jun didn’t think so much about it. Nowadays, there are cases where women abuse men. It’s just cold words. It doesn’t matter to him!

Originally, he thought that Chen Xi would not prepare bowls and chopsticks for him, but when he saw that there was a seat and bowls and chopsticks reserved on the table, he was very happy in his heart, not to mention being angry.

Because he was going to attend a moon-watching and star-gazing banquet, Yao Jun put on his mask again. Also for the sake of everyone's appetite, he had forgotten about it in a hurry this morning.

"Xiao Xi, why did you move the tripod to the table? It's so hot." Yao Jun sat on the stool, took the lower half of the tableware and put it on the table, picked up the chopsticks and said.

After saying that, Yao Jun turned around and looked at Bai Xiaotao: "Tell someone to bring a few cans of good wine. It's too hot."

Bai Xiaotao was angry and slowed down her pace. She hadn't sat down yet, so she went out and asked someone to get some wine when she heard that.

Chen Xi paused while picking up the mutton slices, and then realized that he shouldn't have spoken to Yao Jun like that in front of Bai Xiaotao.

But then I thought, I've already said it and I can't take it back, so let it be.

The emotions that had calmed down while preparing dinner began to surge again, but this time Chen Xi was angry with himself, and was also angry with Yao Jun.

Neither Yao Jun nor Grandpa Chen discovered the little tricks between women, although Chen Xi, Grandpa Chen and the other two didn't know that Yao Muchao was a woman.

Yao Jun picked up the chopsticks and asked in a pretentious manner: "What kind of way is this? Why don't you throw all the meat in and cook it at once? Cooking it piece by piece is too slow!"

Chen Xi: "This is hot pot, what we eat is the freshness of the ingredients."

After explaining, she looked up at Xiaoluo beside her: "Xiaoluo, switch seats with Yao Jun and let him sit over here."

When Yao Jun heard this, he felt so happy. Pretending not to know how to eat has its benefits. He quickly picked up the bowl, chopsticks and the lower half of the tableware and walked over.

Xiao Luo made way for Yao Jun but didn't really go to his seat. After all, Young Master Mu Zhao was next to him, so she just moved a few steps downward and sat down on a stool between her and Yao Jun.

Seeing Yao Jun coming over happily, the turbulent emotions in his heart inexplicably calmed down a little, but Chen Xi just glanced at him coldly, then ate a piece of mutton and put it in his bowl.

"The sauce in the bowl is dipping sauce. Just coat the lamb slices with the sauce and you can eat it."

After a pause, Chen Xi added, "Eat slowly, it's a little hot."

Yao Jun felt so happy in his heart. Although secret love and unrequited love were wonderful, they were also painful.

Now that Chen Xi gave some response, Yao Jun was so happy that he wanted to go out and kill a few foreigners to liven up the fun. Unfortunately, this was the capital of Chen State. Even if there were foreigners, they were slaves and other people's property.

And this is not civilized. My fellow villager will definitely not be happy. After all, who would go out and chop people just because they are happy with their meal?

Yao Jun happily picked up the meat slices from the bowl and put them into his mouth. In addition to the taste of the dipping sauce and mutton, he actually tasted a hint of sweetness, which was outrageous.

It turns out that all those who bootlick the dog will not have a good death, it is destined!

"delicious!"

Yao Jun didn’t pretend this time, he really felt that the food was delicious, better than any other hotpot he had ever eaten!

Hearing his praise, Chen Xi herself didn't realize that her originally frosty face turned into a faint smile as if a spring breeze had been blowing on her.

Putting the freshly cooked mutton slices back into Yao Jun's bowl, Chen Xi said in a relaxed and natural manner: "If it tastes good, eat more."

"Well, don't just focus on me, eat too."

Yao Jun pretended to imitate Chen Xi and also made some mutton slices, but he deliberately overcooked it before putting it in Chen Xi's bowl.

Chen Xi didn't act pretentiously at all. He just put the dipping sauce on it and ate it. Then he frowned slightly and gave Yao Jun a blank look.

"It's a bit old. Don't make it so long next time you perm it."

Yao Jun smiled happily and said, "Okay!"
