Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 490: Playing the Good Guy (Two - s in One)

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Playing the Good Guy (Two Chapters in One)

If she uses it in such a situation, she might really be out.

While the contestants were cooking, the judges were closely observing each of them.

Now, there were only thirty people left in the venue.

The five judges could observe each one thoroughly.

"I forgot to take the scallions and ginger!" Suddenly, Xue Jieyu exclaimed in a breakdown-like manner.

Missing ingredients, even if just scallions and ginger, but they were crucial seasonings for her dish this time.

Don’t underestimate scallions and ginger; they are indispensable for removing the fishy smell from chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

Especially since today’s theme is the ocean.

The contestants all chose to safely use seafood as the main ingredient for their dishes.

Naturally, basic ingredients like scallions and ginger are needed even more.

Yet, Xue Jieyu had forgotten to take such basic ingredients.

Made the most basic mistake.

The five judges all jotted down a note for Xue Jieyu on their scoring sheets.

Xue Jieyu looked at her opponent across from her, Chen Zhengping.

She bit her lip; the two of them were competitors today, and one must be eliminated.

If she’s missing ingredients, it exactly gives Chen Zhengping a higher chance to win.

Asking Chen Zhengping to lend ingredients, Chen Zhengping wouldn’t lend them to her.

If it were her, she’d definitely hope her opponent would make a mistake, adding some weight to her victory.

Xue Jieyu then looked to her left.

On her left was Ye Fei and Ding Ruyun.

Considering Ye Fei’s temper, Xue Jieyu was actually a bit daunted.

She felt like Ye Fei’s temperament might not be very good.

In contrast, Ding Ruyun spoke softly and gently.

She usually got along well with the contestants.

Unlike Ye Fei, they hardly talked much. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After the competition, Ding Ruyun would go chat with other contestants to share experiences with each other.

When leaving the venue, they would walk together on the road.

Ye Fei was relatively peculiar; you wouldn’t see her when the competition ended.

It’s unknown when she arrived.

So, Xue Jieyu felt that Ding Ruyun was most likely to help her.

Thus, Xue Jieyu said to Ding Ruyun, "Ruyun, could you lend me some scallions and ginger?"

She looked at Ding Ruyun’s cooking station; there was more than enough scallions and ginger, Ding Ruyun couldn’t possibly use them all.

Lending some to her wouldn’t affect anything.

Besides, the two weren’t in a competitive relationship in this round.

Ding Ruyun pursed her lips, thinking why Xue Jieyu had to ask her, of all people!

She didn’t want to lend to Xue Jieyu.

She had deliberately taken out more, in case of any emergencies.

Taking more made her feel secure, what if she needed it later!

Lending to Xue Jieyu, and what if she needed to use it later, only to have none left?

Xue Jieyu didn’t take it and should admit her bad luck.

Clearly, she didn’t take it; it’s her own responsibility, so why ask others to lend?

Everyone is in the competition; no one wants to lose.

But if she didn’t lend, she’d appear stingy and selfish.

Xue Jieyu really posed her a difficult problem.

Why didn’t she ask Ye Fei?

Ye Fei clearly took some too!

Ding Ruyun unhappily pursed her lips, unwilling to lend, and softly said, "Sorry, I need it myself."

Xue Jieyu then said, "I saw you took a lot, and there’s so much left."

"I took so much because I need so much. Also, I’m afraid if I get inspired later, I’ll need it, so I deliberately took more." Ding Ruyun said coldly.

It wasn’t taken for Xue Jieyu to use.

Already said she wouldn’t lend, what’s wrong with Xue Jieyu!

Ding Ruyun wasn’t afraid to offend Xue Jieyu.

Xue Jieyu’s opponent was Chen Zhengping.

In the last round, Chen Zhengping was fourth while Xue Jieyu was third from the bottom.

As long as Chen Zhengping doesn’t perform unusually, Xue Jieyu isn’t even a match for Chen Zhengping.

Which is to say, Xue Jieyu is going to stop here today.

Nothing for Xue Jieyu in the next round.

Xue Jieyu didn’t expect Ding Ruyun to be this way.

Although, Ding Ruyun wasn’t obligated to lend to her.

But at least, she thought Ding Ruyun wouldn’t be so unkind.

Everyone usually played well together.

Although there’s only been one competition.

But during the half month between competitions, the contestants had even agreed to go out and play.

Each posted on Weibo, indicating their relationships with each other were great.

On the field, they were competitors, but off-field, they were all good friends.

Even if Ding Ruyun didn’t lend, she didn’t need to turn her back on her.

Now, Xue Jieyu realized that Ding Ruyun was likely two-faced.

Actually, she wasn’t as friendly and gentle as she appeared.

Ye Fei silently took the scallions and ginger she had.

She had the same thought as Ding Ruyun, taking extra for emergencies.

At this moment, she cut off a piece of scallion and took one ginger for Xue Jieyu.

Holding it out, she asked Xue Jieyu, "Is this enough?"

Xue Jieyu paused in surprise.

She hadn’t asked Ye Fei at all, yet Ye Fei, without saying a word, had cut the scallions and brought an entire piece of ginger for her.

Due to surprise, she didn’t respond immediately, only to see Ye Fei slightly surprised, "Not enough?"

Ye Fei had estimated.

The amount was enough for two dishes.

"Enough! It’s enough!" Xue Jieyu quickly said, nodding vigorously.

She just didn’t expect Ye Fei to voluntarily give it to her.

Ye Fei usually didn’t talk much to them and had even less interaction during the competition.

Not to mention, they hadn’t played together off-field either.

She was unfamiliar with Ye Fei, feeling Ye Fei had a hard temperament, slightly aloof.

But surprisingly, Ye Fei was so upright.

Even if it was just scallions and ginger, Xue Jieyu remembered it well.

Didn’t see Ding Ruyun was unwilling to give at all?

Xue Jieyu hurriedly took it, "Thank you! Thank you so much, you’ve helped me a lot."

Ye Fei smiled lightly, "Hurry up and cook, time is precious."

"Hmm!" Xue Jieyu quickly focused and continued cooking.

Chen Zhengping glanced at Ye Fei, also surprised.

Didn’t expect Ye Fei to help.

Couldn’t help but inwardly criticize Ye Fei for meddling unnecessarily.

She wasn’t usually seen to be so warm-hearted.

Now that there were cameras, she began to play the good person.

Helping Xue Jieyu was opposing him.

Though Chen Zhengping was confident in beating Xue Jieyu.

Yet, who doesn’t want a higher chance of winning?

The more flaws in Xue Jieyu’s dish, the more advantageous it is for him, and his win would be more impressive.

Xue Jieyu hadn’t asked Ye Fei, what’s Ye Fei meddling for!

Chen Zhengping was upset, and while handling fish, got pricked by a bone, right between his nail and finger meat.

That’s the most painful part, directly hitting the core intensely.

Chen Zhengping cried out, "Ouch!"

"What happened?" Gu Changfeng and Guo Wenbo immediately came over to check.

Chen Zhengping looked pale and felt embarrassed, softly saying, "Got pricked by a fishbone."
