The days flew by, and soon, it was the second last class of a certain Friday afternoon. It was time for the long-awaited cooking class.
Zhou Xueâer was full of confidence that she would embarrass He Jing today. Occasionally, she would glance at He Jing with eyes full of pride and anticipation.
âXueâer, what are you going to do?â A girl who was on good terms with her asked. âWhen I passed by the teacherâs office just now, I heard our new cooking teacher say that the topic for todayâs cooking class is French cuisineâ¦â
Zhou Xueâer had already thought about it. âIâll make a French pan-fried sole,â she replied, âIt is my specialty and one of Franceâs more important dishes. It will amaze everyone.â
Even in front of a professional gourmet, she showed no fear.
The girl on good terms with Cheng Yi gloated. âIâm sure He Jing must be miserable. Letâs see how she covers up for her lie!â
Zhou Xueâer could already see He Jing crying and begging for mercy in her mindâs eye. The corners of her lips curled up.
Cooking classes were held in Block B of the Yin High School Teaching Building. When He Jing arrived, most of her classmates were waiting outside the kitchen, and the new cooking teacher was already standing at the long kitchen table.
He was dressed in a chefâs uniform and briefly introduced himself. When she heard the surname âZhou,â the whole class gasped and looked at He Jing sympathetically.
Zhouâ¦
It was not inconceivable to think of a connection between this new cooking teacher and Zhou Xueâer.
Shen Qiuyu sidled up to He Jing. She held her phone in a vice and whispered,
âSister Jing, this is bad. Iâve looked up our new teacherâs profile. Heâs Zhou
Xueâerâs cousin.â
âLet me see,â He Jing said.
Shen Qiuyu handed her the phone. He Jing picked it up and took a look. On the screen was the profile of Zhou Xueâerâs relative drawn from Baidu. Zhou Xueâer was listed among his relatives. Their new cooking teacherâs resume was quite impressive. He was so qualified that it would not have been strange if he were the head chef of a five-star restaurant.
âMiss Merit Student, are you having second thoughts?â Yan Hanxi asked with a smile.
âWhy should I?â He Jing retorted.
Although he was a chef qualified to work in a five-star restaurant, it did not mean he was more skilled than her. He Jing had confidence in herself, and she knew her ability.
He Jing felt Zhou Qiuâs eyes on her as she spoke to Yan Hanxi. His gaze was exceptionally piercing, dark, and sinister. She knew at a glance that she was in trouble.
It seemed todayâs cooking class was destined to be fraught with trouble.
Zhou Qiu was not the only one eyeing He Jing; Cheng Yi was also. Her rouge-red lips were contorted in a smirk. It looked like she could not wait for the show.
She had discussed it with Zhou Qiu. It was not enough to just lower the score. To vent her anger on Zhou Xueâer, Zhou Qiu would customize a more difficult topic for He Jing later.
With the increased difficulty, He Jing was bound to flounder, and the chances of her making a mistake would increase. âLetâs see how youâll have the face to present your cooking for Zhou Qiu to judge afterwardâ¦!â
At this moment, Zhou Xueâer stepped forward and said, âCous- ⦠Ahem. Teacher, I have something to say.â
âWhat is it?â
âLetâs conduct the cooking class in the form of a PK. This way, the cooking skills of each group will improve swiftly.
Zhou Xuâerâs suggestion caused an uproar.
Zhou Xueâer was simply too scheming.
She just wanted to embarrass He Jing.
However, the new cooking teacher pretended to be in deep thought, nodding only after a while. âThatâs a very good suggestion. Then, weâll conduct todayâs class based on Zhou Xueâerâs suggestion!â
Shen Qiuyuâs expression changed instantly. She stomped her feet in anger. âI donât agree!â
Zhou Xueâer sniffed, looking down her nose at Shen Qiuyu. âThis is Teacher
Zhouâs first lesson with us. Are you going to disobey him already?â she mocked.
Shen Qiuyu was speechless.
Hence, Zhou Xueâer looked at He Jing and sneered. âTeacher, I request to compete with Student He Jing in cooking. If I win, He Jing must kneel and apologize to me..â
