Looking at the time, and with Xiaomi's reminder, he handed out a piece of candy to everyone. Seeing the students' bewildered reactions, he paused and continued, "This candy is sweet, and it's the most beloved flavor of all, just like love, which can be intoxicating. I hope that my culinary course will, like this candy, bring you a sweet, unforgettable, and beneficial experience."

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Next lesson, we'll make a simple glutinous rice cake."

With that, she gave a slight bow, ending today's lesson. Most of the students actually knew nothing about food, something that was already culturally disconnected, so listening to Lu Yulan's explanation was a novel experience for them.

However, whether one is interested in learning, or whether one remains interested after actually doing it oneself, varies from person to person. Therefore, the next lesson will be Lu Yulan's assessment of the students.

After returning to her residence from class, Lu Yulan had just sat down when Lu Xiaozhu, who was sitting next to her, pushed all the honey water and honeysuckle tea that Lu Yulan had prepared before leaving the table over to her. Her chubby body was even trying to push the plain water over as well.

Seeing this, Lu Yulan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately lifted the other person into the air and carried them in her arms.

"Oh dear, my little Zhu seems to have lost weight. After these few days of classes are over, I'll go buy you some top-quality exotic beast meat to make medicinal cuisine and help you recover."

[Host, you're so young and your eyesight is already failing. It's not thin at all; it's clearly gained another three pounds and four ounces.]

Lu Yulan kissed Xiaozhu's forehead, nonchalantly saying, "What does it matter? Felines are supposed to be chubby to be cute, right, Xiaozhu~"

Hehe, I hope you won't regret it.

Lu Yulan was used to Xiao Mi's way of speaking. If she got fat, she could just lose weight. Losing weight was easy, and there was nothing to regret.

However, I really need to drink some honey water. I've never talked for two hours straight since I came here, and my mouth is really dry.

A sip of honey water, brewed with warm water, has a subtle sweetness and the fragrance of a hundred flowers, which Lu Yulan herself found on Rose Star.

She was comfortably lounging in her rocking chair, basking in the warm spring sunshine and sipping honey water, while someone else was getting upset.

Villa area.

In Julie's apartment, watching the holographic projection where the comments were all about Lu Yulan, Julie's eyesight worsened.

Enraged, she grabbed a cup and smashed it. A maid outside was hurrying towards them, and upon entering, she saw only shards scattered on the floor.

"Miss Julie, what happened?"

"Nothing happened, you can leave."

The maid hesitated for a moment, but did not obediently choose to leave. "Miss Julie, isn't this your elective class? Why are you back?"

Julie didn't want to answer, but the truth was that the villa didn't belong to her; it was the villa of the Catherine family on the college grounds, including the maids, not the servants she usually beat and scolded.

"I know what I'm doing. You can go now."

"Excuse my bluntness, Miss Julie, the head of the family has already informed me in advance that if Miss Julie cannot achieve excellence on her own, then she must obey my orders in matters at the academy and graduate with excellence. Otherwise, I have the right to apply to the head of the family to replace her with an outstanding woman to run for the position of Empress."

Julie paused, her hand holding the comb still, and looked at the other person sharply. "Are you threatening me?"

"No, it's just that we hope Miss Julie can make up for her lost credits, otherwise she'll have to drop out before the semester is even over..."
