Bright flames outlined He Jing's beautiful face, instantly transforming her delicate and harmless features into something both alluring and dangerous.
Her eyes were dark and bright, revealing a sharp glint in them; she was like a hunter patiently waiting for a rabbit to come to her door.
This is the look a chef should have!
This demonstrates the chef's absolute confidence in his culinary skills.
He Zhou felt that He Jing had changed. She had become the same as before, smiling and saying to him, "I hope Third Brother will never treat me like a little sister," and "We are the best rivals." Only then did he realize that they hadn't clashed in a long time, to the point that he had forgotten that He Jing had claws and fangs, and anyone who underestimated her would die a terrible death.
He was wrong.
He shouldn't have had such an absurd thought as "He Jing is not as good as A Long".
He Jing is simply unmatched.
Unless she herself is willing, no one can ever surpass her. He is not her best opponent; her best opponent is herself.
Thinking of this, He Zhou felt as if something in his chest had been shattered.
He began to understand why He Jing was unwilling to become a chef and to progress alongside him in culinary skills. It was because he simply couldn't keep up with He Jing's pace. Once He Jing became a chef, she would become a boulder weighing on his head, an insurmountable mountain. At that time, he wasn't sure if he could still survive in the culinary industry...
He Jing was protecting his self-esteem.
As He Jing methodically completed the steps of making the hibiscus meat dish, He Zhou's eyes grew increasingly red, and the thoughts in his mind intensified, until He Jing placed the elegant yet tempting plate of hibiscus meat in front of Yu Tou and A Long—
Yu Tou and A Long picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths.
Then, the room fell silent.
The huge private room seemed frozen in place, completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
He Zhou clearly saw that Yu Tou and A Long were utterly shocked, as if they had been overwhelmed by the dish of hibiscus meat.
He Jing smiled and handed a small dish of braised pork with egg white to He Zhou, saying, "Third Brother, here you go."
He Zhou picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, he was plunged into the ocean 4,500 meters below the surface. The pitch-black world blinded him and made him lose his sight. But he felt the long antennae of a shrimp gently brushing against his legs. He felt a pig flying toward his face. Then, a giant deep-sea monster with a mouth shaped like a hibiscus swallowed him whole.
They are so, so, so aggressive!
How incredibly sweet this is!
It was so sweet that even he, who already loved sweets, felt a little uncomfortable. However, an invisible hand pried open his mouth and stuffed the hibiscus meat into it.
He tried to resist the brutal, sweet and sour attack, but found himself unable to resist and craving more.
He was completely captivated by this blissful world, accepting his fate of being unable to escape from the body of the Hibiscus Giant.
call--
He Zhou opened his eyes, let out a soft breath, and felt that this "battle" was exhilarating.
But he wasn't the only one who was exhausted and thoroughly satisfied; Yu Tou and Along were also there. Along took off his gold-rimmed glasses, slowly drank a glass of water, and said, "You're right, I'm not as good as you."
This is a dish that you don't want to accept but have to.
If He Zhou's hibiscus pork is flawed because it's too sweet and doesn't cater to the tastes of other customers, then He Jing's flaws are ten times more extreme.
However, extremes meet. No one who eats this dish will find anything wrong with sweet dishes. Its overwhelming sweetness firmly occupies the taste buds of everyone who eats it.
