As the dormitory manager here, I can say I know the teachers quite well, except for this one who's the most mysterious. I've heard quite a bit about her, like how strong she is, how young she is, etc. Of course, these are just hearsay, but according to the descriptions from the students who came back from their training, she seems to be really amazing. And importantly, she's the same age as the people who went to the Far Moon Resort for their internships.
However, their abilities are all different. He was also curious and asked Ying about it. Ying said that this specially invited lecturer is definitely the best chef in the world, without exception.
Mrs. Fumio was quite curious about what kind of monster the other party was, but she never expected that he would be a young, blond, super handsome man, which was beyond her expectations.
"Mrs. Fumio, I'll take my people upstairs first."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fumio immediately smiled like an aunt and said, "Let them go."
For some reason, Tadokoro Megumi felt there was something unusual about that smile, and she subconsciously lowered her head, giving the impression that she was embarrassed about something.
Even though Tadokoro Megumi had no other thoughts, she felt guilty for some reason. This feeling was so strange and magical. She should have acted more normally, so why was she feeling shy and guilty?
At this moment, the girl didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from taking Lin Qi into her room as quickly as possible. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that she was in a great hurry.
Now that we all know this, all we can do is sigh at how shy the other person is.
With a seemingly indifferent expression on his face, Tadokoro quickly led Lin Qi back to her room, then pushed him inside and said she was going to make tea.
Tadokoro Megumi was a bit careless when making tea, and even made frequent mistakes.
Mrs. Wenxu came over specifically to take a look. Seeing the other party's flustered appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head. These young people nowadays are really something. Considering the other party's personality, and thinking about how things are now, it's undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
"Xiao Hui, remember, don't just bring tea. It's best to bring some snacks or something. Didn't you pick some vegetables? Make some simple snacks or something."
"It's afternoon now, perfect for afternoon tea."
Mrs. Wenxu reminded them at this moment, otherwise, taking two cups of tea back would be the limit, and that would deduct points, okay?
Chapter 737 My Roommate is the Protagonist of a Romance Comic?
At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi thought for a moment, looked at her vegetables, and decided to make a cold dish and some fried food. As for making miscellaneous things, she already had batter and other things prepared, which were left over from lunch, so she took it out and took on the task seriously. You could say that her expression became very serious and focused, and she brought out all her strength.
Looking at the other person's serious expression, and seeing that they hadn't made any mistakes in handling everything, nor did they seem flustered, but rather very calm, Mrs. Wenxu couldn't help but nod. In her heart, she thought, "As expected, love can change a person. After all, normally the other person might be a little flustered, but in order to cook for someone else, they seemed to be able to give 100% of their strength. It can only be said that they are too youthful."
Thinking about this, I decided to go have a drink and reminisce about my youth, and I stopped worrying about what was going on here, since the other party would handle it on their own anyway.
I have great faith in the abilities of the people here.
Lin Qi waited in the room, initially puzzled as to why the other party hadn't returned yet. Then, he activated his cheat-like ability and, after a quick glance, understood: the other party was preparing afternoon tea for him. He patiently waited, figuring he was just helping out and wanted to see if the other party's strength had improved recently.
At this point, Megumi Tadokoro was handling the food with utmost care.
After frying the food, I wiped the sweat from my brow, and just then, my friends returned.
"Xiaohui, it smells so good! What are you making? Fried vegetables?"
When Ryoko Sakaki returned at that moment, she happened to witness this scene and looked on with curiosity, feeling that something was a little strange. The other person made so much food; it didn't seem like afternoon tea, since this kind of food can only be eaten while it's hot. Uh, if it was for one person, the portion was a bit too much, not only because of the fried food but also because of a side of cold tomato and vegetable salad.
It doesn't look like the other person ate all of this by themselves, does it? So I'm a little curious, why make so much?
Tadokoro Megumi didn't expect to run into her friend, and she felt a little awkward, but only slightly.
"Ryoko, you're back?"
Ryoko Sakaki nodded first, then looked at the other person with curiosity, her eyes filled with surprise as she examined the food.
"Xiao Hui, isn't this a bit too much? Did you skip lunch?"
Upon hearing this, Tadokoro Megumi was momentarily at a loss for words. Well, after thinking for a moment, she decided to respond in a more straightforward and understandable way.
"For entertaining guests."
"Well, Lin Qijun just happened to be passing by, so I invited him to come in and have a seat."
Upon hearing this, Ryoko Sakaki had a question pop into her head. After all, the name sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. Then, after a moment, her eyes widened, and she spoke in an incredulous tone.
"Xiao Hui, are you talking about that mentor?"
Ryoko Sakaki finally realized why the name sounded so familiar. It turned out to be the same mentor she had met before. She never expected that the mentor who had appeared once by name was actually in her dormitory now. What was going on? Had she suddenly woken up, become hard of hearing, or was she hallucinating?
Seeing her friend's surprised expression, Tadokoro Megumi nodded in agreement.
"That's the mentor."
At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi nodded. There was nothing to hide, and she had no idea how much of a shock Lynch's skills had left on these people.
At that moment, Ryoko Sakaki immediately looked around curiously.
"Where is he? I can't see him."
Tadokoro pointed upstairs, looking embarrassed.
"I took the person back to my room."
Ryoko Sakaki's expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this, never expecting the other party to be so bold. She then spoke in a teasing tone.
"Xiao Hui, I didn't expect you to have learned to eat alone."
Upon hearing this, Tadokoro Megumi was completely bewildered. What did she mean by "eating alone"? Then, seeing the other person's expression, she seemed to understand what he meant. Suddenly, she felt embarrassed, her face turned red, and she looked flustered.
"I...I...I..."
Seeing the other person's behavior, Ryoko Sakaki understood. This shyness was different from usual, and she couldn't help but think that she had really fallen for him. She didn't expect that the other person had a crush on her. And if she remembered correctly, the other person said that they had met when they were children. Thinking about this, it became even stranger. Isn't this exactly the kind of childhood encounter in a romance manga, followed by a reunion and then a further development?
Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but wonder if the protagonist of a romance manga was actually next to her?
At this point, Ryoko Sakaki chose to push the person away, indicating that the other party should not keep them waiting. Although she really wanted to visit, she thought that a visit would be enough. To be honest, the feeling of the other party's cooking was still etched in her heart. However, considering that the other party was a guest, she felt embarrassed to ask the other party to cook for her. So she could only pretend not to know, otherwise she was afraid that she would lose face and ask the other party to cook for her, even though they were strangers.
I felt a little regretful thinking about not having that kind of face.
At the same time, I was a little envious that Xiaohui was so familiar with the other person, and even dared to bring him back to her room. If the two of them develop their relationship further, wouldn't she be able to use this relationship to get a few free meals?
But considering that the other party seems to be quite close to those two from the Nakiri family, can Xiaohui win? Or is she planning to marry into the family together?
Tadokoro returned with her things and saw Lin Qi waiting quietly.
"Lin Qijun, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Tadokoro Megumi finished all these things in no more than 15 minutes. Including the tea brewing, it's actually not too long under normal circumstances, maybe a little long at most, but that's just the case of brewing tea alone.
The current situation with scattered food is really not long at all.
"No, no, no, I don't think it's too long. After all, you've even prepared the food. How could I say it's too long under these circumstances?"
"On the contrary, I'm actually looking forward to seeing if your skills have improved."
Chapter 738 We're all human, who's worse than whom?
"Now I'm actually looking forward to your progress."
At this moment, Lin Qi spoke the truth: he was really looking forward to the other person's progress. After all, he had genuinely put his heart into guiding the other person, and he was curious to know what level the other person had reached.
Lin Qi picked up the food and started eating it without any expression.
The fried food had something added to it, and after it was coated with batter, it was deep-fried. It was alright, not as bad as I imagined, at least from the other person's perspective. For me, it wasn't very good either. It didn't have much flavor, just average. Then I ate some cold dishes as well.
It was of average quality, but the only thing that surprised me was that the other party had mixed something in, something that some chefs dream of. And the other party had it, even if it was just the basics, or even rotten as rotten as can be, but it was still there, which made it better than many other people's.
After finishing his meal, Lin Qi took a sip of tea and, seeing the other person's tense expression, slowly began to speak.
"My assessment remains the same as before: it's just an average taste."
Upon hearing this, Tadokoro Megumi's eyes gradually lost their light. She then lowered her head, expressing her deep regret for not being able to satisfy him.
Lin Qi looked at the other person with their head down and felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that the other person had heard him tell about his situation before. In this situation, it was impossible to expect anything. It was unscientific and unrealistic to really expect him to feel that the food was tasteless and take off.
"Xiao Hui, there's no need to be so disappointed. I should have told you about my situation, so don't expect me to be able to name anything truly delicious. At least in this world, if someone is stronger than me, I could never eat that kind of delicious food."
At this moment, Lin Qi reminded the other party that it seemed to be true. He had also heard this person say that if one's cooking skills were inferior to the other's, this person would never be able to taste what delicious food was. It was truly a pity. He knew very well that this person was extremely powerful, which meant that the concept of delicious food might not exist in the other's world. Thinking of this, he inexplicably sighed for the other party.
Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless after seeing the pitying look on the girl's face. Although it seemed like she hadn't misunderstood anything, it also seemed like she had.
"Alright, there's no need to look at me with pity. I haven't fallen to that level yet. After all, I'm used to it. And as long as the food fills my stomach, that's fine. After all, ordinary food is still good food."
At that moment, Lin Qi spoke a very true statement.
At this moment, in his heart, even something ordinary that tastes good is still good. If you can eat it, you shouldn't be so picky. This is a conclusion he came to after gaining some ability.
After Lin Qi finished speaking, I copied his opening remarks and began to comment.
"Now I'm going to start my critique."
At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi sat down in a very serious manner.
"First of all, the powder you're using is wrong. You shouldn't be using this kind of powder, since you're making fried vegetables, not meat or anything like that."
At this point, Lin Qi pointed out the problems with each step the other party took in great detail, even pointing out two or three errors in some steps.
Even though Lin Qi wasn't physically present or witnessed the event, his words gave the impression that he was there.
At this moment, Tadokoro Megumi transforms into a student, silently listening to the teacher's accusations and pointing out where she has problems.
And I silently recorded it.
After Lin Qi pointed out all the other party's problems from beginning to end, he felt inexplicably thirsty.
After taking a sip of tea, I noticed that the other person looked dazed and confused. It seemed they were having trouble processing so much information at once.
Seeing the other person like this, Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder if he had been too harsh and had ruined the other person.
"Xiao Hui, are you alright?"
Tadokoro Megumi emerged in a dazed state, then looked adorably silly.
"Ah~"
After letting out a cute cry, the person who saw the other's expression knew that the other hadn't really listened to what they had just said.
"I'm sorry, Lin Qijun, I..."
When Tadokoro Megumi spoke, her stammering tone and expression made her seem like a student who had made a mistake. After all, the person in front of her was personally pointing out her errors and giving her suggestions for improvement, but because there were so many things to change, she had missed quite a bit.
So at this moment I feel extremely embarrassed.
Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh when he saw the other person's appearance.
"Let's go to the kitchen and I'll cook you a meal myself."
Tadokoro Megumi paused for a moment after hearing this, then lowered her head and apologized.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you again."
Lin Qi looked at the other person's lowered head, patted their head, and spoke in a helpless tone:
"Come on, I'm used to it. Whether it's you, Erina, or Hisako, I basically have to teach them step by step. I inexplicably feel like I've gotten used to it."
At this moment, Lin Qi sighed and spoke a very true statement. He felt as if he had become accustomed to these things. None of them were easy to deal with; none of them were easy to deal with.
