Chapter 6: Visiting
After returning from the audition building, Selena took a good night’s rest. Later, she went to the supermarket to buy hot pot base, side dishes, and some beer.
The first battle was won—time to celebrate with a hot pot at home!
Eating hot pot alone was the ultimate form of loneliness...
But Selena was used to being alone.
Just as the soup pot was about to be served, a knock sounded at the door.
Who could it be at this hour?
Selena opened the door cautiously—and froze.
Standing there was Daniel, dressed in a neat suit and black overcoat, holding the little bun in his arms. The boy was clutching a colorful fruit basket.
What kind of strange sight was this?
“Mr. Lu?” Selena swallowed nervously. “Why are you here ... so late? Is something wrong?”
“Visiting,” Daniel said curtly.
Visiting? In the middle of the night? Why didn’t he just come by himself—and bring the little bun along? After all, Selena had just fallen and hurt herself...
“Uh, Mr. Lu, please come in! I’m sorry, the place is a bit messy...” Selena hurriedly stepped aside and invited them in, scrambling to tidy up. She shoved some clothes under the bed to hide the mess.
“Make yourself comfortable. What would you like to drink? Tea or milk?”
Selena racked her brain trying to guess the reason for Daniel’s visit, but his expression was unreadable—too deep and cold.
“Yes,” Daniel replied simply, like a soldier acknowledging an order.
Selena made him a cup of tea and brought Rick some milk.
Daniel took a seat on the living room sofa with his long limbs stretched out; Rick sat silently beside him.
Father and son—not only did they look identical, but their faces mirrored each other’s expressionless calm.
Neither spoke.
The silence was ice-cold.
Selena sat across from them, nearly on the verge of tears.
What on earth were these two doing here?
Just then, the pot bubbled softly, and the spicy aroma began to fill the air.
Trying to break the silence, Selena said casually, “Have you had dinner yet? I’m about to eat hot pot—would you like to join me?”
Daniel replied simply, “Okay.”
The little bun nodded.
Selena blinked.
She was only being polite—why were they making such a fuss?
Here was the big boss and the young master—who had surely never tasted anything but the finest food—coming to eat a humble homemade hot pot with her?
Selena felt a bit helpless but had already invited them over, so she set two extra bowls and chopsticks.
“The seasoning I bought is pretty spicy—can you handle spicy food?” she asked, concerned.
Daniel answered, “Yes.”
Rick nodded eagerly.
Alright then...
Selena brought over the washed side dishes.
Daniel didn’t eat much; most of the time he helped with cooking. Rick, however, enjoyed the spicy food just as much as Selena.
Eventually, Selena worried aloud, “Is it okay for kids to eat so much spicy food? I don’t want anything to happen to this little prince.”
“He’s not so delicate,” Daniel said simply.
Selena nodded, unable to argue.
After a moment, the usually silent Daniel finally spoke up, “How was the audition?”
Selena was caught off guard but answered, “It went well. That’s why I made hot pot today—to celebrate!”
Daniel raised his glass, “Congratulations.”
Selena never expected the first congratulations she’d receive would come from Daniel.
