Although Sun Yaohuo was not very famous, he and Chen Zhiyu had met before at certain events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Chen Zhiyu found Sun Yaohuo familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Sun Yaohuo was quite familiar with Chen Zhiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Chen Zhiyu was a first-class singer, who in the music circle does not know him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my agent, Liu Mou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Let’s not stand on ceremony, let’s go in. We’ve prepared a private room and we can’t let our junior starve,” Sun Yaohuo turned to Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging pleasantries, everyone entered the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chen Zhiyu was about to speak, the sound of a song reached his ears: “A dream within a dream from which one cannot awake, red entrapped within the red thread…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Chen Zhiyu’s face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This song was oh too familiar to Chen Zhiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he once came in second when faced with this song…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly concerned, Sun Yaohuo asked, “What’s wrong, do you dislike this song, Brother Zhiyu? If so, I could have the waiter play your song.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Chen Zhiyu said, “This is a song by Teacher Admirable Fish, how could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I not like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good. I thought you didn’t like my rendition of this song…,” Sun Yaohuo said somewhat awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mou blinked his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere, seemed a bit off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it much thought, Lin Yuan said, “I’ll go make a dipping sauce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go straight out the door and turn left… Do you want me to accompany you, Junior?” Sun Yaohuo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go myself, you guys start ordering,” Lin Yuan got up and headed for the condiment area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo didn’t insist, and had someone bring the menu over. “You two are guests, please order first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu began ordering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he had finished ordering, Sun Yaohuo glanced at the menu and laughed, saying, “Sorry, it seems we’ve sold out of the yellow throat, and I think we’re also out of duck’s blood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo turned to the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server paused, “Do we have it…or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo seemed unhappy, “How should I know? Don’t you know more about the kitchen situation than I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server, after a moment of realization, responded, “I think we’re out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo nodded, then turned to Chen Zhiyu, “I’m sorry..’1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu gestured with his hand, “I’ll also go make a sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mou got up and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they left, Lin Yuan returned to the room and asked Sun Yaohuo, “Have\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the dishes been ordered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo laughed and said, “Yes, I’ll recount them, see if you want to add anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server then listed out the dishes that had been ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing it, Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s add some\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yellow throat and tripe, and oh, also some duck’s blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re out of yellow throat and duck’s blood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server looked at Sun Yaohuo as if seeking approval, thinking that he had cleverly understood the boss’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo’s mouth twitched, “As far as I remember, we still have yeUow throat and duck’s blood, don’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server seemed unable to follow Sun Yaohuo’s thought process, “So, do we…or don’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo glared at the server, “Quickly bring out the dishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright…,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server practically fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, aU the dishes were served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Zhiyu and Liu Mou returned, seeing the yellow throat and duck’s blood on the plate, they looked at Sun Yaohuo, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this guy trying to be funny?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharing a hot pot seems to easily bridge the gap between people, and within less than ten minutes, the room had already been filled with lively chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo and Chen Zhiyu seemed to hit it off and talked about many topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu loved discussing the current state of the music industry, his endorsements, and his singing career with Sun Yaohuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo loved to talk about the food and beverage industry, food, and his restaurant’s business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of my songs was included in a college textbook.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before, my milk tea shop did pretty well, I opened two more branches recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About that previous endorsement fee, the client was willing to pay quite a lot.” “I plan to open another tea restaurant soon, styled after the Qi Continent.” “We first-class singers don’t actually have it that easy, you guys have it much more relaxed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, running a restaurant isn’t easy either, I earn a lot, but the hardship is only known to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, Brother Yao Huo? Is this still ‘Red Rose’? Does your shop play songs on loop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about changing to ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’? I also sang that one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that’s another song written by Teacher Admirable Fish, of course… Brother Yao Huo’s songs are still a bit lacking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, there are some other songs as well, but these two songs have both won the season’s top spot. Brother Zhiyu, you have to work harder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the two met, seemingly in meaningful conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lin Yuan, who held the most respect for the food, was eating with utmost joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having finished his beef slices, Lin Yuan felt about seventy percent full. Stomach filled with warm food, he suddenly had an urge to tell a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he slowly began, “I remember a few years ago when I went to get hot pot with my sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo and Chen Zhiyu turned to look at Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a poker face, Lin Yuan continued, “But it was strange, we clearly ordered a pure broth hot pot, but it felt a bit numbing. So my sister asked the owner, why is the pure soup hot pot numbing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Sun Yaohuo asked, “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan said, “The owner explained, I am sorry, the hot pot seems to be leaking electricity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went quiet for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu and Liu Mou looked lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could actually find that bad a joke funny?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yaohuo’s laughter escalated, doubling over he said, “Do you find Teacher Admirable Fish humorous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mou also laughed, and kicked Chen Zhiyu’s foot whispering, “So funny.” It was only then that Chen Zhiyu reacted, “Hahahahaha… I think Teacher Admirable Fish is indeed very humorous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan:”  ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he felt that his joke wasn’t half-bad, it surely couldn’t warrant that much laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like the humor threshold of Chen Zhiyu and Liu Mou was at the same level as Senior Yao Huo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finished their meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way home, Liu Mou looked rather solemn, “This Sun Yaohuo is not simple, we need to be cautious in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu’s expression got serious as he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, “We’ll record the song tomorrow, to avoid further trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>",1277,"2026-06-05T16:38:09.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","baba5e60db298cb49a30b1f02f143c67b00739bc79dd7789e24e5f4e5abd7ccf","all-rounder-artist-chapter-418","all-rounder-artist-chapter-219",1668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-rounder-artist-cover.jpg"]
