"You originally wanted to cheat and please me, but now you're framing me?"
"I'm not trying to frame you. I'm just reasonably suspicious—aren't you suspicious of me too, which is why you asked Young Master Gongyi to watch over me? Neither of us is trusting the other, but we can't prove the other isn't cheating. Surely our gameplay is inherently flawed, isn't it? So why would we choose such a subtle method, one with huge loopholes that leaves us with no way to explain our wins or losses?"
The series of reasons Chu Shangli put forward were actually barely convincing - if you refused to agree, it would seem like you had something to hide.
If they were rebellious, they probably wouldn't care about these things - they might even deliberately go against the grain and confront Chu Shangli's demands head-on -
For example, if it was Ouyang Huanshi who proposed to compete with him now, Chu Shangli would know that this trick would definitely not work, and it might even make Ouyang Huanshi, who originally did not intend to cheat, suddenly decide to cheat.
But I am a person with inexplicable self-confidence - so strong that I like to show off my abilities and I also like to work hard on things that I don't like at all -
Of course, this is a more euphemistic way of putting it. To put it more bluntly, it is probably because I didn’t work hard to improve my actual abilities in the past, and I spent more time thinking about how to be incompetent and furious.
After saying this, her past self lost his temper just as she had expected.
"Okay, what you said seems to make sense. And indeed—since I intend to win, I'll make sure you lose with a sincere heart, rather than giving you the chance to evade the consequences—"
In the past, Chu Shangli took out several chopsticks, tied them tightly with a rope and held them in his palm.
"What?"
"Since we're going to take the original route, let's go all the way—"
The ghost from the past with red marks on his face cracked the eggs and placed them in a bowl, sprinkled them with the sugar substitute Chu Moyin had made, and used several chopsticks to beat the eggs at the same time.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?" Chu Shangli looked at his past self and couldn't help but utter a helpless complaint: "Are you trying to use that thing to stir air into the eggs?"
"Well—this way no one will say I'm cheating."
“…”
Seeing his past self standing here, stubborn, Chu Shangli didn't know for a moment whether the feeling swelling in his heart was nostalgia or a helpless feeling that made him want to laugh.
"In that case—"
Chu Shangli pursed his lips——
Looking at the ghost figure of the past, he took out several straws and cut them into pieces like an octopus.
Immediately separate the egg whites from the egg whites, but leave 13 whole eggs in the bowl of egg yolks.
She split the straws into two bundles, placed them in the egg white bowl, and started to swirl them left and right.
"Huh?" Chu Shangli from the past looked dumbfounded: "Straw?"
"Yes, it's a straw..." Chu Shangli shrugged lightly: "I originally wanted to find some wire, but I thought that in such a clean kitchen, there shouldn't be anything like that..."
"Straws and wire—" The ghost of the past put his hand to his forehead. "What on earth are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Don't you know? Before handheld electric blenders and fixed food processors were invented, the most commonly used thing was a cut piece of plastic straw—of course, it was soon replaced by a spiral whisk made of coiled wire. If you want to whip something manually, the spiral shape is actually more practical than the standard whisk. After all, fluffing something is the process of beating air in... The spiral shape actually allows for more air to be incorporated..."
