He coughed, drawing everyone's attention.
The students all stopped, holding their chopsticks and looking at him with displeasure, as if Zhou Qiu had committed some grave error...
It took them a full two minutes to remember that class hadn't ended yet and that he was still in charge here, which barely allowed them to restrain themselves.
Zhou Qiu had no choice but to pretend to be hesitant and say, "I give He Jing full marks!"
Both of them got full marks, so how should this be calculated...?
Zhou Xueer said angrily, "Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? He Jing's pan-fried fish couldn't possibly be better than mine. Why should she get a perfect score!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a wave of disdain directed at her from all around, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Then, she opened her beautiful eyes wide and said, "Is He Jing's pan-fried fish really tastier than mine?"
No.
She didn't believe it.
Pan-fried fish is just pan-fried fish; what other unique flavors can it be made into?
Shen Qiuyu intimidated her classmates with her domineering style, and ate almost the entire carton by herself. She licked her lips with satisfaction and sneered, "You think your work is worthy of being compared to Sister Jing's?"
She accidentally picked up the wrong food with her chopsticks and ended up picking up Zhou Xue'er's food, almost making her vomit.
Mingming hadn't found Zhou Xueer's fish to be bad before, and thought it was reasonably to her liking. However, after eating He Jing's pan-fried fish, she felt that Zhou Xueer's fish was garbage. The meat was coarse, the aroma was unpleasant, and it was as if a fishmonger had sold her a dead fish and cooked it for her. It had absolutely no deliciousness.
She could now finally understand how Yan Hanxi felt when he ate the fruit that Cheng Yi bought, which tasted like a raw snow pear. With such a gem before her, who would still think of swallowing a stone whole? He Jing's performance was a complete and absolute crushing victory in every aspect.
Zhou Xueer couldn't accept Shen Qiuyu's explanation at all. Refusing to believe it, she picked up the nearly empty deep red pan-fried fish and chewed it a couple of times with a defiant attitude...
Then, her expression changed drastically.
Everyone stared at her, watching her quickly contradict herself, filled with schadenfreude and triumph. No one sympathized with her; they only thought: "Serves her right for being so vicious as to force He Jing to kneel!"
Zhou Xueer's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she shrank back.
She lost.
She really lost.
But she didn't want to drop out of school.
Who would have thought that He Jing's fish cooking could be this delicious?
So she quickly cast a pleading look at Zhou Qiu.
Now, only Zhou Qiu can save her, as long as he is determined to stand by her side.
Zhou Qiu knew she would shoot herself in the foot, so he sighed inwardly and then lied through his teeth, saying, "Although He Jing's pan-fried fish is indeed tastier than Zhou Xue'er's, I already gave her a perfect score before. As for the current situation, it's just that the teacher wasn't professional enough. He Jing, I'll just award you a tie with Zhou Xue'er."
Shen Qiuyu laughed and said, "Teacher, you are openly biased. This competition was started by Zhou Xueer. Since hers is not as good as Jing's, she should keep her promise and drop out of school."
"Shen Qiuyu!" Zhou Qiu shouted, his voice authoritative as a teacher, "You don't need to interfere with the teacher's judgment. This competition is child's play. There has never been a case of dropping out of school for betting at Yin Gao. What do you take Yin Gao for? As for the grudge between Zhou Xueer and He Jing, you can hand it over to the Political Education Office to resolve."
