Chapter 77 - Daily Routine (1)

"The dishes are all here!"

When the last dish was served, Chen Siwen put her palms together happily. "Is it sumptuous?"

Chen Yu stood up and looked at the table full of exquisite dishes. He gave her a thumbs up. "Awesome, awesome."

"The ingredients didn't cost any money, so I did everything I knew how to do." Chen Siwen untied her apron and introduced them one by one. "Braised pork knuckles, fat intestines, stir-fried shrimps, sautéed pot sacks, dry-fried fish, return-to-pot meat, all kinds of fat and thin..."

"Stir-fried liver tip, stir-fried liver pass, deep-fried tripe, earth-fried tripe..."

"Fried sea ear, water field chicken, osmanthus wings, sauce field seven..."

Chen Yu made a classic trump gesture. "SKR~"

Clap, clap, clap... Mother Chen clapped repeatedly.

"Oh." Ma Li, who was at the next table, looked at the few dishes on her own table and then looked at the Manchu-Han banquet on Chen Yu's table. She suddenly lost her appetite.

The other examinees and their families nearby could not help but look over.

"This young lady's craftsmanship is superb!"

"Look at her."

"I want to eat too..."

"She's a professional chef..."

Hearing the praises from the people around her, Chen Siwen was so proud that she almost raised her B shield to a C shield.

Today, her younger brother became the prettiest boy in the examination venue.

And she was also in the limelight tonight. She did not lose face for her younger brother at all.

July 7th was simply the Chen family's lucky day...

At this moment, her happiness was already bursting.

"Then I'll start eating."

Taking the chopsticks, Chen Yu picked up a piece of rib and put it into his mouth.

His lips and teeth moved slightly, and he spat out the bone.

"It melts in the mouth. Delicious..."

At the next table, Ma Li licked her lips and turned to look at the bespectacled girl beside her. "We're both sisters, but why is his sister's cooking so delicious?"

The bespectacled girl pursed her lips. "Women have a strange desire to compare. How childish."

"Make it for me too."

"I don't know how to. I don't know how to eat it."

Pa.

She threw the chopsticks aside and Ma Li leaned against Mother Chen with the chair in her hand. "Auntie, do you lack a temporary daughter-in-law? The kind that doesn't stay overnight."

Chen Yu's chewing froze.

Mother Chen smiled and handed him a pair of chopsticks. "You can come and eat too. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

"Thank you!"

Ma Li was very obedient and did not stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and began to wolf down her food.

"What a lousy sister. She can run away with just one meal. Is she a cat?" The bespectacled girl was displeased. She took a few bites of her own food and was silent for a while. Then, she hugged the chair and came over. "Auntie, I'm also your temporary sister-in-law. Bring me along."

"Come on, come on, all of you. These dishes are edible..."

Chen Yu raised his head and stared at the bespectacled girl carefully for a while. "I keep feeling that you look a little familiar. Where have I seen you before..."

Not far away...

Wang Baofei also threw away his chopsticks. He pointed at the instant noodles in the bowl and said angrily, "I don't expect a table full of dishes, but you can't feed me this, right?!"

Wang Baoqiang took a mouthful of noodles expressionlessly. "Today, you are a family member. I should have let you cook, but you still dare to talk?"

And further away.

In a corner near the side door of the restaurant.

Bahuang Yao was lying alone on the empty dining table. She swallowed her saliva and squeezed the corner of her shirt. Her eyes were looking outside the door quietly...

...

At the same time, on the top floor.

The bald Chief Examiner closed his laptop and handed out the documents to all the principals. "According to the arrangements of the examiner team, this will be the list of matches for tomorrow's official competition. Do you have any questions? If you have any, tell me as soon as possible."

The principal of No. 7 High School was the last to receive the documents. He opened them and carefully looked at Chen Yu's list of matches. He nodded. "No problem."

"No. 3 High School has no problem."

"No problem."

"No. 5 High School has no problem either."

"No. 1 High School has a problem." At this moment, the principal of No. 1 High School stood up and pointed at a spot in the document. "For the first match, our school's Ma Li will fight against No. 7 High School's Chen Yu. I don't think this arrangement is suitable."

"Tell me the reason," the Chief Examiner said.

"Chen Yu's strength is too strong. He should fight against the examinees with lower numbers in the first match. Our school's Ma Li has Number 13. The match should be between 19 and 23."

"Chen Yu is between 19 and 23. His number is 21."The bald head examiner rested his chin on his hands. "Is there a problem?"

"But Chen Yu's strength is not the real 21."

"The match of the contestants in the official competition is not based on strength, but based on number." The examiner was expressionless. "If it is directly based on the strength that we think, then is there a need to take the College Entrance Examination. "Why don't we just discuss who is the top scorer?"

"..." The principal of No. 1 High School choked.

"If there is no other reason, your application is rejected."

Hearing this, the principal of No. 1 High School sat down awkwardly.

"Who else has any questions? If not, you are dismissed."

After saying this, the examiner left with his assistants.

The principals looked at each other for a moment, then they got up and left one after another.

Finally, in the empty meeting room, only the No. 2 High School principal and the No. 7 High School principal were left.

The No. 2 High School principal leaned back in his chair. "Why aren't you leaving?"

The No. 7 High School principal said, "I feel like you have something to look for me."

The No. 2 High School principal sneered. "Instead, I feel like you have something to look for me."

"You and Chen Yu... Hmm, let me help you build a bridge and reconcile."

"Ask him to come and find me and personally apologize to me."

The principal of No. 7 High School scratched his head. "I don't think you're awake yet."

"I'm the principal of an advanced high school. Why would I apologize to a student?"

"What did you do to him? He was just expelled. It shouldn't be that big of a grudge, right?"

"He's a lunatic." The principal of No. 2 High School stood up. "His status is low and his strength is weak. Isn't it natural for him to be bullied? I've been bullied all the way here."

"Alright. Then you guys have a good fight." The No. 7 High School principal spread his hands and turned to leave. "I've already expressed my attitude. This matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything."

"Ptui."

After waiting for the other party to leave, the No. 2 High School principal despised him. "What a slippery thing."

...

On the second floor, in the examinee's restaurant.

Chen Yu was hungry and thirsty. He leaned against the back of his chair and picked his teeth. "I'm full."

"But why do I feel that your stomach is getting more and more deflated?" Chen Siwen was suspicious.

"I digest quickly." Chen Yu flicked the toothpick and stood up to stretch. "It's about time. Let's go back."

"We can't go back." Ma Li burped in satisfaction. "According to the plan of the Education Bureau, we need to be accompanied by our family members and sign the enrollment wishes of each university."

"Aren't we waiting for the official competition to end tomorrow?" Chen Yu was stunned.

"Usually, it can be decided today." Ma Li explained, "We examinees each fill in three wishes. First, second, third. Under normal circumstances, with our strength, as long as we don't fill in Tsinghua University and Peking University, other schools can go anywhere."

"Where are you going?"

"Tsinghua University." Ma Li turned her head and looked outside the glass door at the Tsinghua University admissions office. "I have a strong Tsinghua complex. I only want to fill in one."

"What if you can't go?" Chen Yu asked without any emotional intelligence.

Ma Li looked sideways. "Either I go to Tsinghua University or you can come to clean my grave."

Chen Yu: "..."
