Chapter 657 - Yuan Zhous Signature Dish (1/2)

Not long after lunch ended, Yuan Zhou’s phone rang.

The caller ID was Sun Ming, a brother Yuan Zhou hadn’t seen for a while.

“Why are you so free to give me a call?” Yuan Zhou directly asked after answering the phone.

“It’s the Chinese New Year soon, so I’m calling to see how you’re doing,” Sun Ming said, his voice through the phone being cut off somewhat.

“No, I don’t believe that. You’re a hoes over bros kind of guy,” Yuan Zhou immediately tore Sun Ming’s lie apart.

That’s right. The only reason Sun Ming hadn’t looked for Yuan Zhou was that he had gotten to know a new goddess, someone he was furiously courting.

He had no time to visit Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. He also had no time to meet up with his brothers. It had been quite a while since he had eaten the delicacies he loved.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou was correct when he said that he was a hoes over bros kind of guy.

“That’s not true at all. Aren’t I calling you right now?” Sun Ming solemnly said, promptly explaining himself.

“You must have called because your courting failed,” Yuan Zhou remarked in a straightforward manner.

Facing a brother that places priority on girls over bros, Yuan Zhou spared no effort in berating him.

“You’re wrong. I already successfully asked her out for a meal,” Sun Ming solemnly stated.

When he spoke, the joy and sweetness in his voice couldn’t be disguised.

“One meal after one month? For your standards, that is quite a decent performance,” Yuan Zhou said, disdain seeping out of his every word.

“Still better than a forever-alone like you,” Sun Ming countered, not willing to be outdone.

“Hoho,” Yuan Zhou sneered, his contempt so deep he couldn’t even be bothered to reply.

“Ok, enough small talk. Let’s get onto business,” Sun Ming knew when to stop. Therefore, he prepared to move onto proper business.

“Yeah, sure. Let’s stop talking. I’m hanging up,” Yuan Zhou said and made it seemed like he was about to hang up the phone.

“No, no, no. Yuan Zhou, don’t end the call. No matter what, we’re still brothers. I have something I need your help with,” Sun Ming knew when to lower himself and immediately started begging for help instead.

“Beg me,” Yuan Zhou said, his voice nonchalant.

“Yeah, I beg you. Please help,” Sun Ming unknowingly nodded as he spoke, making it clear that he was begging.

After Sun Ming begged, Yuan Zhou did not reply immediately. After all, Yuan Zhou was still a forever-alone guy. Moreover, he was a forever-alone guy that held a grudge. Therefore, he wouldn’t let go of a chance to keep Sun Ming waiting.

“Speak. What help do you need,” Yuan Zhou remained silent for five seconds before answering.

“You see, I asked the goddess out to eat at your place. Since I had promised her I will personally cook a dish for her, can you…” Sun Ming quickly made his request known.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly cut off by Yuan Zhou.

“No,” Yuan Zhou left no room for negotiation.

“But I hadn’t even told you what I need,” Sun Ming choked somewhat on his words before saying this.

“You want to borrow the kitchen. Have you ever seen Simon the Snow Blower borrowing his sword to Lu Xiaofeng 1 ?” Yuan Zhou rejected in a straightforward manner since it did not take him long to figure out what Sun Ming wanted.

“Nope,” Sun Ming answered truthfully.

“Right, that’s why my answer is no,” Yuan Zhou righteously said.

Sun Ming wasn’t discouraged by Yuan Zhou’s answer. He directly changed his request instead. The speed in which he changed his request made one wonder if this had been what he wanted all along.

“Yes.” This time, Yuan Zhou generously agreed.

“Excellent. After I confirm a time with my goddess, I will bring her over,” Sun Ming happily said.

“Ok.” Once again, Yuan Zhou turned back into his indifferent self.
