Lu Rong did not expect Su Tingyun to refuse so quickly.
It wasn't completely different from what he had imagined.
Could it be that I've been indulging in wishful thinking all along?
Did Su Tingyun never like him at all?
This left him completely baffled.
Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Su Tingyun quickly explained:
"No, Senior Lu Rong, actually I was afraid that I would affect your participation in the competition."
"I wouldn't mind if I couldn't be of much help, but if it affects your match, I'd feel really bad. You wasted your whole day just to hang out with me, while your other opponents are probably preparing for tonight's match."
"I feel so useless. Not only can I not help you, but I'm also holding you back."
Her voice trailed off, and she didn't dare look at Lu Rong.
I see.
Lu Rong then understood what she meant.
It's probably because she's afraid that dating someone will affect her performance in the competition.
Su Tingyun is indeed someone who always thinks of herself.
All the speculations from before vanished in an instant.
Lu Rong paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then after this culinary competition ends, you will officially become my girlfriend?"
Su Tingyun lowered her head even further, and her clear, melodious voice slowly came through: "If it's Senior Lu Rong, then yes, that's fine."
In other words, Su Tingyun did not actually reject him.
"The game starts at eight o'clock tonight. You must be tired after playing all day. Let's go back and rest for a bit."
"Okay, sure."
After Su Tingyun got out of the car, Lu Rong also drove back to the dormitory.
Because he didn't take a nap at noon, and was used to napping, he felt very tired, so he lay down on his bed in the dormitory and took a nap.
"It's a little past five in the afternoon, I can still sleep for an hour or two."
.........
at the same time.
After yesterday's competition, many students at Kyoto University learned about Lu Rong's participation in the culinary competition.
And they even won first place on the first day of the competition.
This is a huge boost to Kyoto University's reputation.
The students in Kyoto were naturally delighted.
Because Lu Rong's participation in the competition was decided at the last minute, many people were unaware that he was participating.
They only found out about it yesterday after the live video of the match appeared online.
Everyone at Kyoto University was incredibly excited to see Lu Rong win first place again.
More than half of the messages on the forum were about Lu Rong.
"That's amazing! Senior Lu Rong has brought glory to our Kyoto University again. He won first place on the first day of the National Culinary Competition. His strength is truly terrifying."
“I watched the whole live stream. Even last year’s champion, Tang Haohan, couldn’t beat him and only got third place. If I had the money to buy tickets, I would have gone to see the show live.”
"Although there were two winners in yesterday's competition, I believe that Senior Lu Rong is definitely the stronger one."
"It's a pity that although the competition is being held at our school, I can't afford a ticket, so I can only watch the live stream online. I envy those volunteers who signed up; they can watch the competition live. I wish I had signed up too."
"Didn't you know? The school cafeteria TV is broadcasting the whole thing live, so you can watch it."
"I've heard about that too. Apparently, a lot of people watched it there last night, and the atmosphere was great, just like watching the World Cup."
"The cafeteria is so thoughtful. No wonder it's managed by Senior Lu Rong. They even provided this for us, haha."
"Absolutely! Not only the cafeteria, but even the night market stalls outside have set up a big TV. You can watch TV while you eat your late-night snacks. It's so great!"
"Really? Then I'm going tonight too. There's food, drinks, and something to watch. It's much better than lying in bed in my dorm watching TV on my phone."
"Senior Lu Rong is really smart. He not only thought of participating in the competition, but also thought of this. He truly deserves to be called a master of business."
"The match starts at 8 p.m. tonight. Let's go straight to the cafeteria then. I'm not going to eat dinner anyway, so I can eat while I watch."
"Okay, okay, count me in."
…………
After returning to her dormitory, Lu Rong had a wonderful sleep.
I didn't get up until 7 p.m.
Luckily, I set my alarm in advance, otherwise I probably would have overslept.
Because the food competition was scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, he quickly got up.
After washing up, I quickly ate a meal in the kitchen of the cafeteria.
Because Xu Fei and the others were already waiting for him outside the venue, he quickly set off.
Soon they saw Xu Fei and his teammates outside the basketball court.
Su Tingyun was also present.
Perhaps because of what happened today, Su Tingyun turned her head away shyly when she saw Lu Rong, but she couldn't help but steal glances at him from time to time.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, they are now very familiar with the entire venue and the competition process.
We went straight through the internal athletes' entrance and quickly arrived inside the venue.
Right now.
The venue was bustling with activity, and almost every seat was taken.
It's clear that there are even more people than yesterday.
Because yesterday was the first day of the competition.
The number of people is relatively small.
Although today is only the second day, Li Shangui said yesterday that he would eliminate one hundred contestants today.
By then, only thirteen elites among elites will remain.
So the audience was incredibly excited and all clamored to come and watch today's match.
