Chapter 1742: Chapter 1722
"But if this kind of thing can be part of the exams, do you think it might be like our high school, where appearance and attire have standards, and dressing codes have rules? Maybe never wasting food could also be a benchmark for assessment..." He Wenyu immediately felt that a horrifying and unimaginable scenario was right in front of him.
"I don’t know about anything else, but there’s one thing I can be sure of." Looking at the three pairs of eyes around her, Luo Qianqian smiled mischievously, "The academy definitely won’t let us get through smoothly; maybe they expect to hear wailing everywhere."
"You might as well have kept that to yourself. Now I only feel heartbroken, exhausted, and chilled! My poor heart, how are you going to compensate for it?" Di Jun had a look of resentment on his face.
Luo Qianqian instinctively touched the tip of her nose, then asked, "Why not join us for a meal later?"
"Let’s go!" Di Jun immediately dropped his playful expression, looking at Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu with excitement, "What are we eating? Anything you need help with?"
Luo Qianqian: "...Your heart is pretty strong. Can you heal from a meal? If I didn’t know better, I’d think it’s your stomach."
He Wenyu was holding back laughter, but he pondered for a moment, "How about we make dumplings? Later, we can let my mother and godmother taste them."
"That’s fine, but who’s rolling the wrappers?" Luo Qianqian pouted, "I can only make dumplings. How about we make some Baozi instead? They’re big enough, and you can happily put one in a bowl, which effectively avoids hoarding food."
"Basically, you’re just being lazy," He Wenyu bluntly exposed, "Think about it, such big Baozi aren’t easy to cook thoroughly."
"I didn’t mean they have to be very big..." Luo Qianqian pouted, thinking of Mo, who was taking care of a child all alone, feeling a bit self-reproachful, "Let’s make more. I’ll take some to Mo later."
"Alright, you can freeze them later, right?" He Wenyu was surprised but quickly agreed, as after all, they were helping to look after the child for free... Not only did they save the child, but they also had to be a babysitter, which is quite tiring when you think about it. It’s such a tedious job.
He Wenyu rolled the dough while Luo Qianqian directed the two to chop vegetables and meat. The voice-controlled machine was impressively smart.
Especially Long Tu, who moved so swiftly that Di Jun hadn’t even finished half, and he was already slicing at lightning speed. Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkled as she got close to He Wenyu, "Doesn’t he look like he could be your apprentice? Look at his speed; he’s remarkable at chopping vegetables. He would absolutely be a great chef in the future. Do you want to take him as your disciple?"
He Wenyu glanced and then lowered his head in silence, asking, "Did you forget why you were put in the Yellow Class?"
Luo Qianqian was taken aback, then her face stiffened, unable to respond, because... he had a point!
Long Tu accidentally harmed someone innocent, which was why their team ended up in the Yellow Class. Although it felt pretty good now, in others’ eyes, he was a jinx, because he blurred the line between friend and foe, leading to their current predicament...
Luo Qianqian looked at the meat on the cutting board and inexplicably gulped, suddenly feeling that the meat on the board was an innocent person, and Long Tu’s face and clothes were spattered with countless blood droplets. Moreover, there was a trace of a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth, and as the knife rose and fell, an arm flew up...
Feeling a shiver run down her spine, she quickly pushed these vivid imaginations out of her mind, awkwardly watching Long Tu, who was chopping meat. If Long Tu found out what she was thinking, he would definitely be angry, right?
Moreover, he was holding an ordinary kitchen knife, the type that costs thirty-nine yuan and ninety cents in supermarkets. How could it effortlessly chop off an arm? Even a butchering knife isn’t that sharp, right?
The most, most, most, most important thing is... even when butchering ribs or drumsticks in the market, you can’t say your knife is perfectly sharp, one stroke without repetition, and the rib or drumstick is definitely separated, right? After all, bones are the strongest part of an animal’s body.
"What nonsense are you thinking about now?" He Wenyu could tell from Luo Qianqian’s eyes that she was letting her imagination run wild, making him roll his eyes, "Speaking of which, you seem to daydream a lot lately? What’s going on?"
"Have I been around much lately?" Luo Qianqian immediately retorted, pouting, "Sometimes I just think, you know, a child is born so small, but in just a few months, they grow so much, right?"
"Yeah, so you mean to say, based on that standard, you should have grown taller?" He Wenyu naturally continued before Luo Qianqian could finish.
Luo Qianqian was momentarily speechless, suddenly feeling that childhood friends know way too much!
"That child should develop and change faster..." He Wenyu couldn’t help but say. Currently, what they were most concerned about wasn’t any exams but the suddenly brought in child.
"Did you ask Brother Jiayou what happened?" Luo Qianqian couldn’t help feeling a bit irritated, "Mo said the poison on the child’s body accumulated in the surrogate’s body gradually, which means someone kept poisoning the Eldest Princess constantly!"
"Yeah... besides him and Cong Ying, there was no one truly on the Eldest Princess’s side, and this was only discovered at the last moment." He Wenyu sighed, "Who do you think the Eldest Princess’s chief maid was loyal to?"
"It’s not the Third Princess, right?!" Luo Qianqian thought of that naive young girl, hurriedly and nervously confirming.
He Wenyu shook his head, albeit with some helplessness, "The Third Princess didn’t participate, not siding with anyone. Therefore, she was spared."
But perhaps due to Huangfu Yihui and Huangfu Yanyao, the Third Princess still sent a death order through a loyal servant to notify Lin Jiayou to rush back in time, preventing the child from dying and hearing the Eldest Princess’s last words.
"That child is named Nianan, Lin Nianan." He Wenyu felt his eyes sting with tears.
Lin Jiayou did not change this name, and he hoped this child would be well.
"That girl, couldn’t she be someone from one of the Eldest Princess’s Prince Consorts, dreaming of becoming a Mistress or something?" Luo Qianqian suddenly frowned, recalling a plot from a novel she had read before, hurriedly asking.
"If that’s the case, who would dare to do such a thing?" He Wenyu smiled bitterly. A Prince Consort, whether current or former, no matter what, is still dependent on the Princess. How could they do such a thing? No matter how high their status behind the scenes, they can’t surpass the Royal Family.
