Kneeling⦠Apologizingâ¦
This was too ruthless!
Even those students who were not close to He Jing could not help but speak up for her. âTeacher, this is bullying. You canât agree to it!â
Zhou Xueâer immediately retorted, âTeacher, He Jing bullied me in our previous cooking class. This is a personal grudge between us. Please give me this chance to settle it.â
Zhou Qiu had wanted to persuade Zhou Xueâer to give up on the idea, but seeing how persistent she was, he could only change tactics. âA conflict between classmates should be resolved peacefully. You shouldnât be so vindictive. However, if itâs a purely culinary PK, as long as Student He Jing agrees, we can start -â
âWhat do you think?â he asked, turning to He Jing.
Zhou Xueâer never expected Zhou Qiu to side with He Jing. She shrieked, âNo!â He Jing would not agree!
As long as one had a brain, no one would agree to this duel, knowing that their culinary skills were inferior.
However, He Jingâs eyes were indifferent as she said, âOkay.â
Zhou Xueâerâs pupils trembled. She could not believe it. What⦠What just happened?
She agreed!
She agreed!
All the students gasped and looked at He Jing in extreme shock and disbelief.
Even the student who had stepped forward to help He Jing opened his mouth wide and said angrily:
âStudent He Jing, donât be rash.â
If she agreed, wouldnât his actions be for nothing? People might even say he was a busybody!
He Jing smiled gently, her usually cold expression turning lively, âThank you, Jiang Shu. Iâll let you try my cooking later.â
Jiang Shu, who stood on the receiving end of He Jingâs brilliant smile, flushed. He was already happy to receive her gratitude. For He Jing to be willing to cook for him alone⦠No, there was no way she could win this PKâ¦!
How could she when their teacher was biased?
âHe Jing!â Jiang Shut s anger turned into worry. âStudent He Jing, please reconsider.â
He Jingâs smile was suffused with warmth. It was beautiful, yet dangerous.
Even her tone carried a hint of nonchalance. âThereâs no need for me to reconsider anything. Iâm willing to accept Zhou Xueâerâs challenge. However, what will I get if I beat her?â
Zhou Xueâer quickly regained her senses, and her usual haughty, almost disdainful posturing returned in full force. Without more than a secondâs thought, she cried, âHow can I lose? You must be joking!â
âIf I loseâ¦
âIf I lose, I shall drop out of school and never appear before you again!â He Jing was speechless.
It was her first time seeing someone who could speak so decisively!
âSince Zhou Xueâer is so sincere, letâs begin.â He Jing said, âTo ensure the fairness of the PK and to prevent Zhou Xueâer from being wrongly expelled, I would like to invite everyone present to be the judges.â
âTeacher, are the terms acceptable?â she asked Zhou Qiu.
Zhou Qiu felt like a fly caught in a spiderâs web. His eyebrows twitched. âThere are dozens of people here. Can you make so many dishes in the stipulated time?â
âIâll try.â
It felt like the situation was progressing along uncharted waters; it was not following the script he had plannedâ¦
Zhou Qiu glanced at Cheng Yi. Seeing that Cheng Yi was frowning, he gritted his teeth. âYes, they are.â
He Jing smiled faintly; it was a devilishly alluring sight. âAlright, letâs begin. Teacher, please give us todayâs topic for our cooking class..â
