Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the Chu mother and daughter, Nie Yun ignored everything else and tore into the Lobster Hot Pot! His mouth was full of salt, yet he did not even take a sip of water.
Chu Xiaoxiao finally snapped out of it and hurried to stop him. "Stop eating! I... I was wrong, okay?" Her voice was almost tearful.
She had never imagined that Nie Yun would swallow such horrifying cooking without a word just to cheer her up and appease her. Was this really that same blockhead?
Uh... strictly speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao was right. At least, Nie Yun was now made of metal, so he no longer qualified as a block of wood.
As for which dish he ate, he would just swallow it and let the Mechanical Insects break it down. Did it make any difference? At most, he would have a little more sodium chloride inside him.
Sadly, though, all those delicious dishes Chu Feng had made went to waste...
In the end, dinner concluded in a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere. Then Nie Yun watched in surprise as Chu Xiaoxiao wheeled a two-tier cake out of the kitchen.
"Uh... what's all this?"
"Happy eighteenth birthday, dummy!" Chu Xiaoxiao said with a beaming smile.
"Happy birthday, Nie Yun!" Chu Feng also looked at him with a motherly smile.
"This..." Nie Yun stood stunned for a long while, his heart suddenly enveloped in the warmth of family affection. For the first time in his life, someone had remembered his birthday and celebrated it for him.
"But how did you know today was my birthday?"
"When you signed the sale contract for the Chengjiang, your ID number was on it. Was figuring out your birth date supposed to be difficult?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked thoroughly pleased
