A pebble is enough to stir up a thousand ripples.

Almost in unison, the entire class looked at Zhou Xue’er.

In his small notebook, Shen Qiuyu had just jotted down another good point about He Jing. When he heard Zhou Xue’er’s words, his eyebrows shot to his hairline in outrage. “What right do you have to say something like that?”

Zhou Xue’er choked on her words. A discrete glance toward Cheng Yi was enough to bolster her flagging confidence. “Of course, I have proof. Xiao Yi, you tell them!”

Cheng Yi rose from her seat, speaking gently and with a touch of innocence, “Although I don’t wish to embarrass He Jing or dampen everyone’s enthusiasm, I can’t stand by and watch Student Yan be deceived. He Jing doesn’t know how to cook. Everyone in the Cheng family knows this.”

As she spoke, she shot He Jing an accusing look, her tone almost sounding like the whines of a young child, “I never thought He Jing would stoop so low as to lie to Student Yan to curry favor with him.”

He Jing was speechless. All she did was bring some food to Yan Hanxi. How did she become the villain? Indeed, transmigrating into the body of a vicious supporting actress had its risks and rewards.

He Jing did not immediately refute Cheng Yi’s words. Instead, she glanced at Yan Hanxi and asked, “If I didn’t make this myself, would you still eat it? If you’d rather not, I’d like you to return it to me.”

Yan Hanxi smiled indulgently. “Of course, I’d eat it. I’d eat it whether you lied to me or not!”

“Student Yan!” Cheng Yi cried in disbelief.

Yan Hanxi took a bite out of the French jelly. Its smooth, nicely chilled surface was so refreshing he felt like he had been doused in cold water. Having been refrigerated overnight, the French jelly was sublime. Each vegetable had a distinct taste that melded well, completing one another. It was so amazing he thought he had been transported on a vacation to the countryside at the height of summer.

At this moment, many things came to Yan Hanxi’s mind. The most profound was this curious desire to drop out of school and become a vegetable farmer in the countryside if only it would let him eat such delicious food every day.

With his eyes closed, lost in the ecstasy of He Jing’s sophisticated dessert, Yan Hanxi caused those around him to forget their words. All that was left in their minds was this overpowering desire to taste He Jing’s French vegetable jelly. Wu Yu gulped again.

None of those present could take their eyes off Yan Hanxi until every last bite of the French Jelly He Jing had made disappeared down his throat. Yan Hanxi had remained motionless throughout. He Jing’s fantastic jelly had conquered his stomach and marched on the fortress of his mind, tearing its walls asunder and rebuilding it anew.

Then, Yan Hanxi looked at Cheng Yi and smiled elegantly. “Student Cheng Yi, it doesn’t matter if Student He Jing does not know how to cook. What’s important is her kind intentions. Even if she had lied, nothing would give me the greatest honor than to be lied to again.”

Cheng Yi paled, losing all color on her face.

Yan Hanxi dragged an anxious finger around the rim of the empty lunchbox and put it into his mouth. He almost looked forlorn. “It’s a pity you haven’t had the opportunity to try such a delicate French jelly. Yet, I can’t help but succumb to this selfish impulse to want more of something I enjoy so much. Perhaps it would serve you better to hone your cooking skills, Student Cheng Yi, than disparaging others for their lack thereof. Maybe you might gain some clarity then.”

Puff-

He Jing could tell that Yan Hanxi was calling Cheng Yi stupid.

As expected of the male lead. Even the way he admonished others was a cut above the rest. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Soon, the whole class wore mocking expressions from one degree to another.

Who was Cheng Yi to Yan Hanxi? She was nothing more than a classmate. Yan Hanxi had already rejected her, so what right did she have to meddle in his affairs, fearing he would be deceived or cheated?

Cheng Yi’s jealousy was palpable.

Knowing Cheng Yi had lost, Zhou Xue’er could not help but curse in her heart. ‘Useless!’

Despite her inner thoughts, however, Zhou Xue’er said, “If you can’t cook, you can’t cook. It is wrong to lie. Student He Jing did what she did to satisfy her vanity. There’s no doubt that her character is severely lacking..”
