Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Looking at the cleaver in Huang Mei's hand, and recalling the secret code the members of the Dark Cuisine world had told her, the proprietress confirmed her identity and stepped aside to invite her in.

Huang Mei looked around the inn with curiosity in her eyes, then followed the landlady and waited for her to lead her to Bai Yuan's room.

"Chief Baiyuan is right here."

"Ah... um, be gentle..."

The proprietress was about to knock on the door when the voice from inside made her stop, and her fair face visibly turned red.

Huang Mei, standing next to her, was the same, standing awkwardly with her head down.

Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.

"Chief Bai Yuan seems to be busy with other matters. Let me take you to your room first. We're not in a hurry. We can meet up again tomorrow morning."

"You're right... I'm tired from traveling all day. Take me to my room to rest."

An awkward remark came from the landlady's mouth. At this moment, she was so nervous that she almost dug her toes out of the three-bedroom apartment, afraid that Huang Mei would ask her what was going on inside.

Fortunately, Huang Mei had some common sense. She often watched action movies at night, so she felt awkward but didn't think much of it when she saw this scene. She then walked away to the other side.

On the other side, inside the room.

"They're all gone, you don't need to suppress your voice anymore."

Bai Yuan chuckled as he watched Nakiri Erina immediately cover her mouth after hearing the commotion outside. The girl's blushing and embarrassed appearance was truly delightful!

"Teacher Bai Yuan, you're really too wicked! You knew there were people outside, yet you still increased the force..."

Erina Nakiri didn't say anything more; her face was already incredibly red.

Her heart was pounding exceptionally fast at that moment, and her words were tinged with resentment, clearly indicating that she felt the other party had acted unfairly and bullied her at that time.

"But didn't you tell me to go faster? You even said you could hold out no matter what."

"I didn't know someone was outside! If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have said any of this. Everyone must have heard what I was saying. It's so embarrassing!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri became angry and, in a fit of emotion, bit him hard on the shoulder.

Soon, a tooth mark appeared on Bai Yuan's shoulder. Because the force wasn't strong, it quickly became just a faint mark.

"Don't worry, no one knows who you are. Besides, we're in a relationship. If we're talking about being embarrassed, the person who eavesdropped should be the one who feels embarrassed."

Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Bai Yuan couldn't help but gasp, pretending to be in pain, which was the real reason why the other party relented.

"I don't care! It's all your fault!"

Erina Nakiri expressed her dissatisfaction with Bai Yuan's explanation.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. How can you forgive me?"

Listening to Erina Nakiri's words, although they were blaming him, she wasn't very angry. Instead, it sounded more like she was being coquettish, as if she wanted to get more attention from him.

"Then it depends on your efforts."

Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri's face suddenly flushed red, her gaze darting around, before she spoke meaningfully.

"Watch my efforts? I understand."

Erina Nakiri's words were easy to understand. Shirai guessed what she wanted without even thinking, so he lowered his head and worked even harder.

"Well..."

Feeling Bai Yuan's movements, Erina Nakiri closed her eyes. At this moment, her eyes were a little moist, not because of sadness but because of tears of happiness.

As for where the feeling of happiness comes from...

The night will tell the answer.

the other side.

After being led to the room by the landlady, Huang Mei gently placed the kitchenware box on the table.

"Leader Baiyuan..."

After getting up and closing the door to the room, and drawing the curtains to ensure that no one could see her from the outside, Huang Mei lay down on the bed.

Upon opening my phone, the first thing I saw was a photo of Baek Yeon.

In the photo, Bai Yuan has a bright smile and is reaching out to rub her head. At that time, she was still thin and small, and she looked unwilling to have her head rubbed.

"Brother Bai Yuan..."

Unconsciously, her fingers moved toward the bedding, and the sounds coming from Bai Yuan's room in her mind became clearer, making her body unconsciously hot.

The night is long.

It's not just Erina Nakiri.

The same applies to Huangmei.

Chapter 402 Blocking the way at the gate, the school exchange competition begins!

"Teacher Baiyuan..."

Early morning sunlight streamed down.

On the soft, large bed, Erina Nakiri clung tightly to Shiro's arm, her sleeping face serene, seemingly lost in a dream, affectionately calling his name.

"I have to say, I slept really well."

Since today was the start of the school exchange competition, Bai Yuan didn't keep Nakiri Erina up too late. The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms around 9 PM and have been sleeping ever since.

Perhaps because he was by her side, Erina Nakiri slept exceptionally soundly today, her muscles relaxed and her whole body completely unguarded.

So much so that as soon as Bai Yuan got up, he saw an incredibly beautiful scene under the sunlight.

Unfortunately, he could only see such a scene himself and couldn't capture it on camera to enjoy.

"Get up, Erina."

The official match was scheduled for 9:00 AM. Normally, they should be on their way to the tower and then spend a few hours in the lounge. However, Bai Yuan wasn't in a hurry.

Not only him, but everyone at the scene was in no hurry.

The reason is simple: their place is not far from the competition venue; it's a five-minute walk, with only two corners in between.

No wonder bullies came to the door back then. It's such a waste to only open a small hotel in such a prime location. If small food gatherings could be held here for a long time and it could be developed into a special tourist attraction, I wonder how many people it could attract!

At that time, business will be booming and tourists will flock to the area.

Regardless, the profits will be dozens of times that of a hotel.

"Hmm? Is it morning already? Good morning, Professor Bai Yuan..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's call, Erina Nakiri initially looked bewildered.

She then sat up in bed with a yawn, her head drooping as her consciousness gradually returned, which reminded her of her situation and what had happened the night before.

At this moment, she was being completely honest with Bai Yuan. Given yesterday's unexpected events, she should have been shy, but for some reason, she was unusually calm, so calm that there wasn't a single ripple in her heart, the composure only an old married couple possessed.

"Good morning. Get dressed, go out for breakfast, and then let's head to the competition venue together."

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri remembered that she had a match to play today.

Without much hesitation, she immediately got out of bed, found her suitcase, opened it, and frantically rummaged through it. Before long, she found a clean white chef's uniform.

This is the outfit she wears when she's fully unleashing her culinary skills!

Wearing this outfit signifies that she is truly taking things seriously.

Although it was very embarrassing to be watched while changing clothes.

But considering that the two of them had already been completely honest with each other countless times, Erina Nakiri didn't find anything unusual.

But when she was getting dressed, she felt inexplicably shy looking at Bai Yuan's face.

So he turned his back to him and changed his clothes.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything about it, but just yawned, picked up the clothes by the bed, quickly changed, and then waited for Nakiri Erina to come to her after she had changed her clothes.

"There's no need to rush, the collar is already tucked in."

Seeing that Erina Nakiri had tucked the back of her collar into her clothes because she was in such a hurry, Shirai took the collar out and then straightened her clothes.

He only withdrew his hand satisfied when it was perfectly straight.

"Well, the competition is coming up soon. Can you cheer me on, Teacher Bai Yuan?"

Thinking about the upcoming match, Erina Nakiri blinked her beautiful eyes, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry, clearly hoping to gain some benefits from Shiro Awakening.

"How about a blessing kiss?"

After tidying up Erina Nakiri's clothes, and seeing the girl's face slightly flushed with excitement, Bai Yuan reached out and cupped her in his hands, about to lower his head and kiss her.

"A kiss of blessing is a must, but it's too common and not enough."

Erina Nakiri waved her hand dismissively, her eyes seemingly shimmering with tears.

"Isn't that enough... I was originally planning to give it to you after the match, but since you wanted encouragement before the match, turn around now."

As they were talking, Bai Yuan walked to the bedside, took out the box with Nakiri Erina's name on it, and looked up to meet the girl's curious gaze, so he asked her to turn around.

"Well, you're making it all so mysterious."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Erina muttered a low complaint.

Despite her complaints, she still obediently turned around.

A faint sense of anticipation welled up inside them. What was in that little box? Could it be a ring? Was Teacher Bai Yuan planning to propose to them after the competition?

This is way too exciting!

So what is she now? Did she sneak away before the appointed time?!

As the footsteps grew clearer, Erina Nakiri's heartbeat quickened.

A jumble of thoughts surfaced in her mind. When she came to her senses, Bai Yuan was already behind her, and through the mirror in front of her, she could see what he was holding.

It was a glittering gold necklace!

A red, crystal-clear agate hangs from the necklace, without a single impurity.

"Is this the gift you prepared for us? It's so beautiful!"

Bai Yuan came up behind her and put the necklace on her by hand. When Erina Nakiri saw the red agate hanging on her chest through the mirror, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
