One remark from Su Lao Si set everyone off into peals of laughter.
Mrs. Su-Hua quickly squeezed her way through the crowd and pulled Su Lao Si behind her.
"Where were you running off to act crazy?"
Su Lao Si, who was just boasting moments ago, immediately became sheepish: "I...I was just...just chatting..."
He stammered out with uncertainty.
This instantly triggered another round of raucous laughter from the crowd.
Mrs. Su-Hua quickly nudged Su Lao Si towards the kitchen while turning to smile at the crowd: "Come on, don't make an embarrassment of yourself here. Quickly, let me wipe your sweat for you."
She stealthily passed him a sweat towel.
Su Lao Si was touched by her gesture and quickly accepted, using it to wipe his face: "You're so considerate, knowing I was so hot. You go ahead and greet everyone, I'll go get a drink."
With that, he dashed straight into the kitchen.
Once again, the crowd burst into hearty laughter.
