"Huh? Is that so?" Chu Shangli patted his cheek.
"Indeed, it's as if something joyful has happened." Gong Yi Tianhe asked curiously, "Could it be that operating this new instrument has always been your dream?"
"It's not that exaggerated. I just think Chu Shangli is a bit too arrogant. It's better to learn a little bit. Although it may seem simple at first glance, it will become easier after mastering the skills. It would be a shame if his good skills were to be overshadowed by improper operation of the instrument."
Chu Shangli twirled his hair with his fingers. "I suddenly feel like what Chu Shangli said is actually not a problem. What I'm doing now is undoubtedly cheating. I originally thought it was just a matter of learning some instructions and it wouldn't affect anything at all, but with such advanced equipment, I'm afraid I can't think that way anymore."
"But, this has nothing to do with you, right?" Gong Yitianhe said calmly, "It's not like anyone stopped her from studying. She just didn't want to learn. Just before, didn't you ask her several times if she wanted to come with you? So, if she fails, it's better to say that she lost to her own arrogance than to accuse you of cheating..."
"But, as expected..."
Chu Shangli pressed the [Steam] switch with his finger, and the instrument controlled by Chu Shangli immediately sprayed a layer of pure white mist, which fell from the top of the instrument box.
"I really don't want to leave any strange troubles for myself." Chu Shangli looked around and saluted the chef. "I'm sorry - I think I originally wanted to rely on my own skills and combine them with the mature technology now to get the best results - now I have changed my mind. However, this does not mean that I don't like the instruments. On the contrary, it is because I like them that I don't want their reputation to be slandered."
"Hey? Classmate Luo Dongxia, you really don't have to take it to heart." The chef looked a little anxious, but he still maintained a very standard smile. "What Gong Yitian and the young master said just now was absolutely right. They didn't trust me. That was entirely a problem with Miss Chu Shangli's own personality. Why do you blame yourself, classmate Luo Dongxia?"
"I'm not blaming anyone—I just want to be more honest. Since I know and believe I'll win, it really doesn't matter what I use. I'll take the time to study it in detail—knowledge that will be useful to me, so I don't have to worry about people's gossip."
“…”
The chef's smile grew increasingly stiff. "Student Luo Dongxia, are you really not going to reconsider?"
"Well, yes, I'm very sorry." Chu Shangli closed his eyes slightly and walked out.
The chef's voice echoed behind her: "Does Luo Dongxia think that Miss Chu Shangli, who has only learned half of the skills and is obviously not very capable but still insists on being competitive, will honestly admit her failure? I don't think so. She will still just put the blame on you. Even if Gong Yitian and the young master are watching, she will think you are cheating. In this case, what exactly are you insisting on with your so-called persistence? Who are you trying to show fairness to?"
"I don't know—maybe she wanted to do it for myself to see." Chu Shangli teased herself with a wry smile, tossing her long black hair: "But, it doesn't matter anymore—even if she doesn't believe me, it's enough that I did it myself. Anyway, moral integrity is never something to be performed for anyone to see."
