"Xiao Chao, you can't be like this. A man needs to be tough, don't act like a pushover. Look at me, I can't even speak up when facing my wife. I've been busy running errands for her. You shouldn't follow my example!" Uncle said, glancing outside as if afraid someone might overhear.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I've got a backbone!" Zhou Chao affirmed confidently.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Jiang Li's call from outside: "Brother Chao, how much longer until we can eat?"
Without hesitation, Zhou Chao stuck his head out, "We'll be ready to eat in 5 minutes at most. If you're hungry, have some fruit from the table!"
"Okay~"
Turning back, he saw Uncle looking at him with a smile. Zhou Chao realized he had just contradicted himself within ten seconds.
Seeing Uncle's teasing expression, Zhou Chao awkwardly smiled and continued to be busy.
