Kneeling… Apologizing…
This was too ruthless!
Even those students who were not close to He Jing could not help but speak up for her. “Teacher, this is bullying. You can’t agree to it!”
Zhou Xue’er immediately retorted, “Teacher, He Jing bullied me in our previous cooking class. This is a personal grudge between us. Please give me this chance to settle it.”
Zhou Qiu had wanted to persuade Zhou Xue’er to give up on the idea, but seeing how persistent she was, he could only change tactics. “A conflict between classmates should be resolved peacefully. You shouldn’t be so vindictive. However, if it’s a purely culinary PK, as long as Student He Jing agrees, we can start -”
“What do you think?” he asked, turning to He Jing.
Zhou Xue’er never expected Zhou Qiu to side with He Jing. She shrieked, “No!” 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 Jing’s eyes were indifferent as she said, “Okay.”
Zhou Xue’er’s 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:
“Student He Jing, don’t be rash.’
If she agreed, wouldn’t his actions be for nothing? People might even say he was a busybody!
He Jing smiled gently, her usually cold expression turning lively, “Thank you, Jiang Shu. I’ll let you try my cooking later.”
Jiang Shu, who stood on the receiving end of He Jing’s 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 PK…!
How could she when their teacher was biased?
“He Jing!” Jiang Shut s anger turned into worry. “Student He Jing, please reconsider.”
He Jing’s smile was suffused with warmth. It was beautiful, yet dangerous.
Even her tone carried a hint of nonchalance. “There’s no need for me to reconsider anything. I’m willing to accept Zhou Xue’er’s challenge. However, what will I get if I beat her?”
Zhou Xue’er quickly regained her senses, and her usual haughty, almost disdainful posturing returned in full force. Without more than a second’s thought, she cried, “How can I lose? You must be joking!”
“If I lose…
“If I lose, I shall drop out of school and never appear before you again!” He Jing was speechless.
It was her first time seeing someone who could speak so decisively!
“Since Zhou Xue’er is so sincere, let’s begin.” He Jing said, “To ensure the fairness of the PK and to prevent Zhou Xue’er from being wrongly expelled, I would like to invite everyone present to be the judges.”
“Teacher, are the terms acceptable?” she asked Zhou Qiu.
Zhou Qiu felt like a fly caught in a spider’s web. His eyebrows twitched. “There are dozens of people here. Can you make so many dishes in the stipulated time?”
“I’ll try.”
It felt like the situation was progressing along uncharted waters; it was not following the script he had planned…
Zhou Qiu glanced at Cheng Yi. Seeing that Cheng Yi was frowning, he gritted his teeth. “Yes, they are.”
He Jing smiled faintly; it was a devilishly alluring sight. “Alright, let’s begin. Teacher, please give us today’s topic for our cooking class..”
