One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Almost in unison, the entire class turned to look at Zhou Xue'er.
Shen Qiuyu had just jotted down another of He Jing's good points in her notebook when she heard Zhou Xueer say this. Her eyebrows immediately shot up in anger: "What makes you say that?"
Zhou Xueer choked for a moment, then looked at Cheng Yi behind her, and regained her confidence: "Of course there is evidence, Xiao Yi, you tell them."
Cheng Yi slowly stood up from her seat and said in a gentle and innocent tone, "Although I really don't want to embarrass He Jing or spoil everyone's fun, I really can't just watch Yan get deceived. He Jing really can't cook, everyone in the Cheng family knows that, and I only found out by chance from the maid in the house."
As she spoke, she looked at He Jing again, almost accusing her: "I never expected that He Jing would go so far as to deceive Yan in order to win his favor."
He Jing was speechless. All she did was bring Yan Hanxi some food, and she was being criticized for that. Being a villainous supporting character is truly a high-risk profession.
But she didn't immediately refute him. Instead, she glanced at Yan Hanxi indifferently and asked, "I didn't make this myself. Do you still want to eat it? If not, give it back to me."
Yan Hanxi smiled gently, indulging to the extreme: "Eat, I'm willing to let you lie to me."
Cheng Yi couldn't help but call out, "Yan!"
Yan Hanxi took a bite of half a French jelly. The icy texture made him feel as if he had been doused with cold water. The French jelly, which had been frozen overnight, was almost perfect. The flavors of each vegetable were distinct yet complemented each other, making him feel as if he had been transported back to the summer countryside.
At this moment, many things flooded Yan Hanxi's mind, the most profound of which was that, for the sake of this delicious food, he wanted to drop out of school immediately and go to the countryside to farm.
The slightly narrowed eyes and the expression of enjoyment made everyone forget to speak. Every nerve in their body was screaming—they wanted to eat it. Wu Yu swallowed again.
Only after the last bite of terrine disappeared into Yan Hanxi's mouth were they able to barely tear their eyes away. Yan Hanxi remained motionless for a long time after finishing; the overwhelming deliciousness had overwhelmed him, and he needed to rebuild the order in his mind—
Then, Yan Hanxi looked at Cheng Yi with a refined and elegant smile: "Cheng Yi, it doesn't matter whether He Jing can cook or not. What matters is that she has this intention. Even if she told a small white lie, it would only make me feel honored and want to be fooled a second time."
Cheng Yi's face suddenly drained of color: "I..."
Yan Hanxi wiped the empty first layer of the lunchbox with her index finger, put it in her mouth and sucked on it, and said calmly, "It's a pity you can't eat such delicious French jelly. At the same time, I'm even more glad that this is a delicacy for me alone. Since Cheng Yi has the time to care about other people's cooking skills, why not hone your own cooking skills? Maybe that will make your mind clearer."
puff--
He Jing could easily tell that Yan Hanxi was subtly implying that Cheng Yi was stupid.
As expected of the male lead, even his level of cursing is higher than others.
The others also showed mocking expressions.
Exactly, they're just friendly classmates. What right or qualification does she, someone rejected by Yan Hanxi, have to stand up and make a fuss, even claiming she doesn't want Yan Hanxi to be deceived?
His face was so full of jealousy it was almost tangible.
When Zhou Xueer saw Cheng Yi lose, she couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Useless." Then she spoke up again, "If you can't cook, you can't cook. Lying is wrong. He Jing did this to satisfy her vanity. There's no doubt that she has a problem with her character."
