Everyone turned to the source of that enchanting voice. Who else could have such an outstanding voice besides Yan Hanxi?
He Jing was standing beside him, clearing the table as if she was ready to cook.
Shen Qiuyu’s eyes lit up, and he laughed. “Aren’t we a trio now?”
“I still want to join the group!” Wu Yu shouted.
Zhou Xue’er’s expression instantly changed. She looked at He Jing and said unwillingly, “Be mindful of you try to help He Jing! You’ll regret it when you’re poisoned half to death by her cooking.”
Yan Hanxi smiled. “We’ll see.”
Zhou Xue’er stomped her foot in frustration, knowing she was not about to get the upper hand.
Finally, the bell rang. It was almost time for their cooking class. Countless eyes followed He Jing and Zhou Xue’er as they filed out of the classroom, but before they could all do so, their homeroom teacher stopped them at the door.
The students were startled by this development. “Your cooking teacher just checked the ingredients and found a problem with today’s shipping,” their homeroom teacher said. “Today’s cooking class will be changed to a self-study period.”
The news caused an uproar in the classroom.
“It must be you!” Zhou Xue’er screamed excitedly as she jabbed an accusing finger at He Jing.
He Jing had planned to ignore Zhou Xue’er, not wanting to lower herself to the latter’s IQby responding to the accusation. However, when everyone looked at her with similar thoughts seemingly churning in their minds, she frowned, her words chilling to the bone, “Do you think I’m Naruto?”
What? Did they think she could create shadow clones?
She had not left the classroom for the past few lessons. How could she have tampered with the ingredients?
Several heads bobbed in agreement. He Jing had not gone out, so how could she have done something to the ingredients? Zhou Xue’er looked at Yan Hanxi and said reluctantly, “Brother Xi, you can protect her for one day, but you can’t protect her for two. If she doesn’t know how to cook, she will be exposed sooner or later.”
Yan Hanxi chuckled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “So, you think I’m playing tricks?”
Ah, this…
All the students shuddered and shook their heads.
This was not something Yan Hanxi could do.
Yan Hanxi never played dirty, regardless of whether it was a fight or something less serious. He was always open about things. Even if he wanted to show his favor to someone, he would do so openly. He did not care who you were.
Tampering?
They were making fun of him!
“Who else could it be? Was it you, Shen Qiuyu?” Zhou Xue’er asked.
Shen Qiuyu was speechless. “Zhou Xue’er, don’t accuse people like a rabid dog,” she scolded. “If you have the skill, expose the culprit with proof!”
“Don’t let me catch whoever it is!” Zhou Xue’er growled through gritted teeth.
Hiding in the crowd, Cheng Yi looked on coldly from the side. She felt even more disdain for Zhou Xue’er.
Zhou Xue’er might be furious now, but she would thank her in the future.
If not for the fact that no one was sincere enough to be useful to her, she would not have become sisters with such an idiot.
As she thought about it, she looked at Liu Sisi again, thinking she should repair her relationship with her instead.
Due to the problem discovered and the importance the school attached to the cooking class, lessons were postponed to Friday afternoon, and cameras were installed to safeguard against future incidents of this nature.
Cheng Yi could no longer tamper with the ingredients. She could only find out about the new cooking teacher and investigate his background to try and make use of him.
In the cafe after school, Cheng Yi changed into her school uniform and wore a beautiful white dress. She sat opposite Zhou Xue’er’s cousin, Zhou Qiu. She smiled and said, “Cousin Zhou, hello. I’m Xue’er’s friend. My name is Cheng Yi.”
Zhou Qiu’s eyes lit up, and his breathing became erratic..
