Shuxin nodded. "Do people still fish here?"
The sadness in Huo Jibai's eyes started to spread. "Those are the customers who come here to eat. They fish and cook on the spot. It's fun and delicious. My parents and I used to come here often."
Shuxin would rather Huo Jibai argue with her than see him like this. It made her heart ache. She patted him on the shoulder and joked, "Why don't you go down and catch a fish?"
Huo Jibai was silent for a few seconds before he turned to look at Shuxin. "I don't know how to swim."
"Huh?" Shuxin found it hard to believe. These days, rich young masters like Huo Jibai used swimming as a skill to attract beautiful women. They would go to the swimming pool in boxers to show off their pecs and abs, attracting the covetous gazes of many beautiful women. However, he didn't know how to swim.
"I was seven years old when I first came here. At that time, this restaurant had just opened. There weren't fences like this on both sides of the wooden bridge. I accidentally fell into the water when I was fishing and was traumatized."
"Oh."
"Let's go." Huo Jibai took the lead and stepped onto the wooden bridge.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant in the middle of the lake. The restaurant had three floors. The first floor was the main hall, and the second and third floors were private rooms. The private rooms surrounding the restaurant were a special feature of this restaurant. They were only open to high-class VIPs.
Huo Jibai was obviously a regular here and seemed to be very familiar with the owner. The moment he entered, the owner greeted him with a smile. "Ji Bai, you're here."
Huo Jibai nodded slightly. "Same old place."
"Sure." The owner glanced at Shuxin who was behind Huo Jibai and smiled. "This is the first time I've seen you bring a girl here. She must be your girlfriend, right?"
Huo Jibai's handsome face flashed with an uncomfortable blush. He wanted to say something, but Shuxin spoke first. "I'm his aunt."
The owner was obviously stunned. He smiled and said, "Young lady, you must be joking. You look younger than Ji Bai. How could you be his aunt?"
"No, I'm two years older than him." Shuxin explained seriously, "Huo Jibai's father is the oldest in the family, and my husband is the youngest. They are only a few years apart."
Huo Jibai frowned. Was it glorious to marry a man who was nine years older than her? She was even showing off everywhere. Even if she didn't find it embarrassing, he still did, okay?
Huo Jibai's face darkened as he turned around and walked out of the restaurant towards the small private room he frequented.
"Boss, do the dishes here taste sweet or spicy?" Shuxin asked.
The boss replied, "We have both flavors. We cook according to the customer's taste."
"This is good." Shuxin instantly felt that her gluttony had been aroused. "Then the dishes …"
"Go back to the private room first. A waiter will come over to take your order in a while."
"Okay, thank you." Shuxin turned around and walked out of the restaurant. She saw that Huo Jibai had already walked to the middle of a small wooden bridge. She lifted her feet and followed him over.
The small private room was decorated very elegantly. It was the end of June, and the temperature was a little high at noon. The room was not air-conditioned, but it didn't feel hot. The four windows were open, and a gentle breeze blew in from time to time. It carried the smell of the lake, and it was light and refreshing. It was much more interesting than sitting in an air-conditioned room to eat.
Shuxin stood by the window and admired the scenery outside.
The waiter came in, and Huo Jibai ordered the dishes.
After ordering, the waiter asked, "Can we serve the dishes now?"
Huo Jibai said, "Later, we have another …"
