Strong and powerful, strong and powerful!
In less than a week, the Panel had undergone a tremendous change, especially the large number of skills, making Lin Yi feel she was about to become the All-Round King.
When that time came, no matter how great The Ultimate Solution to All Problems or Jian Shuye was, they would all pale in comparison before her, crying out ‘Please guide me, Lin Yi-sama!’
Hahahaha…
“Lin Yi, stand up and answer this question.”
“Huh… huh?”
Lin Yi opened her eyes and saw the math teacher calling on her to answer a question, a look of utter confusion on her face.
In the end, it was Su Kui at the next desk who made a “yeah” gesture with her fingers. Lin Yi immediately answered, “Choice B, teacher.”
“Alright, sit down. Don’t space out next time.”
Lin Yi sat back down, clasped her hands together and mouthed a ‘thank you’ towards Su Kui. Su Kui just smiled slightly and continued listening to the lesson.
Some also took this opportunity to stare intently in this direction, like Feng Chuyue in the second row, and Yan Jianxing at the classroom’s back door.
What are you looking at, Yan Jianxing? It’s because of you that I couldn’t sleep until midnight last night, and you got up at past five in the morning to call people for a run.
If it weren’t for your pretty face, I would’ve… I would’ve reported you to the teacher!
The math teacher’s voice continued from the podium: “In short, when X is less than or equal to zero, the axis of symmetry of the quadratic function must ensure that the range of this segment…”
Lin Yi pursed her lips, holding a pen between her nose and upper lip, watching the teacher write heavenly script on the blackboard.
Whoosh.
A small note traced a graceful arc through the air, landing precisely on Lin Yi’s desk.
Who’s being so sentimental, passing notes instead of using a phone?
Don’t you know math class is when I love playing on my phone the most?
Lin Yi turned her head and saw Su Kui smiling at her, pointing a finger at the desk.
So it was Sister Kui.
Lin Yi was overjoyed and immediately opened the small note.
‘This morning, I made lunchboxes for Su Xun and Su Ji, and accidentally made an extra portion. Would you like to try it?’
Oh? A homemade lunchbox?
Now I have to try it.
‘Of course I’d love to! I can’t wait!’
She folded the note, aimed, and sent it flying back. Su Kui opened it, nodded, tucked the note into her pencil case, and continued listening attentively.
Lin Yi could only hope for math class to end quickly, so it would be time for the break.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
Under Lin Yi’s prayers, the math teacher, who usually liked to run overtime, surprisingly ended class on time today, taking the textbook and leaving the classroom.
“Charge!”
“Wait for me!”
“Today’s cafeteria special is Taro Cupcakes and Sunlight Rose Grapes!”
However, the cafeteria luxuries that would normally make Lin Yi take flight on the spot held no appeal today.
Yan Jianxing hopped over with little steps and looked at Lin Yi. “What’s up? Not going to the cafeteria today?”
Su Kui took out a lunchbox wrapped in floral cloth from her desk compartment and placed it on Lin Yi’s desk.
“Well, last time… thank you for looking after Su Ji.” Su Kui’s hands were clasped behind her back, her body swaying gently from side to side. “I heard from Su Xun that you were with him on the Back Hill at the time.”
“It was nothing.” Lin Yi waved a hand grandly. “Actually, I didn’t do much. I just happened to be taking a walk there.”
“So that’s what happened.” Yan Jianxing leaned forward slightly. “I didn’t know. Which day was it?”
“The day you went home to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday.”
Yan Jianxing made a sad expression. “I’d like to meet Su Kui’s brother too. The whole family must be very good-looking.”
“Congratulations, you guessed right.”
“Good-looking or not, it’s not worth such praise.” Su Kui quickly waved her hands. “I mean, I’m not that good-looking… Anyway, you should try it quickly.”
So, just like yesterday, everyone arranged the desks.
Then, Lin Yi took out her phone and sent a message to Feng Chuyue, as if calling a child over for a meal.
The Moon Goddess had actually been ready for a while, but without Lin Yi’s call, she wouldn’t take the initiative to come over.
“Open the box!”
Braised Duck with Thousand-Layer Tofu, Di San Xian, Minced Meat with String Beans, and a piece of Fried Egg.
Healthy, delicious, and infused with Su Kui’s love for her family.
I won’t stand on ceremony. Bring out the big spoon!
Lin Yi scooped up a spoonful of duck meat and sent it into her mouth.
Mmm, this duck is stewed until tender but not falling apart, the skin slightly glutinous, the meat not dry at all, the savory sauce completely soaked in, salty and fragrant with a hint of sweetness, getting more flavorful the more you chew.
What’s even more amazing is this Thousand-Layer Tofu, soaked full of duck fat and sauce, soft and tender with a bit of chewiness, melting in your mouth, even more flavorful than the meat.
The tofu’s refreshing taste perfectly cuts through the duck’s richness, while the duck’s savoriness elevates the tofu’s mildness. One bite of duck with a piece of tofu, paired with rice, could easily make you finish two bowls.
It had been a long time since Lin Yi had enjoyed food made with home pots and pans, prepared with heart.
“Thank you, Su Kui. Thank you… sob, sob.”
“It’s not that exaggerated, Lin Yi.” Su Kui hadn’t even touched her chopsticks. She just watched Lin Yi quietly. “If you like it, I could…”
But Lin Yi made a shushing gesture. “I’m not that kind of person.”
“That kind of person?”
“Su Kui’s cooking is certainly delicious, but burdening a classmate with cooking every day just to satisfy one’s own appetite is a sin.”
Lin Yi picked up a piece of eggplant, gazing at it with deep affection. “No matter how fragrant, once burdened with guilt, it becomes tasteless.”
Yan Jianxing turned to Su Kui. “What is she trying to say?”
Su Kui glanced at the ceiling, then blinked. “Make it every other day?”
“No!”
Lin Yi quickly explained. “What I mean is, these things, when they happen by chance, occasionally, that’s when they’re delicious. It’s like when you curiously walk down a completely unfamiliar path home one day and just happen to run into your childhood friend…”
Yan Jianxing furrowed her brows, stroked her chin, and asked Su Kui again. “What is she trying to say this time?”
This time, Su Kui crossed her arms, a faint smile playing on her lips. “She wants to eat a meal made by her childhood friend.”
Lin Yi felt she should speak directly, not mislead these beautiful girls with metaphors here.
“Potato, delicious.”
“Eggplant, delicious.”
“String beans, delicious.”
“Fried egg, delicious.”
After finishing the lunchbox, Lin Yi neatly arranged the lid and floral cloth, closed her eyes, and said, “In this life, I have no regrets.”
Yan Jianxing turned to ask Su Kui for the third time. “Did you add something to the food?”
Su Kui suddenly understood. “We might have overlooked Lin Yi’s hometown. She might prefer dishes with a sweet flavor profile.”
“I see.”
“By the way, Lin Yi, what would you like to eat next time?”
“There’s an ordering session?” Lin Yi patted her stomach. “Forget it. Even if there is a next time, you should decide for yourself, Su Kui. I’ve already thought of it. When the time comes, I’ll draw a picture for you, Su Kui. The title will be ‘Su Kui’s Meal Today’.”
“How strange.”
However, the expression on Su Kui’s face was clearly a happy one.
And all of this was seen by Feng Chuyue, who was silently eating her meal.
