Class Teacher System

Chapter 35: Poison poison poison (11)

Lu Ming’s expression was stiff as he looked at the two people sitting in the living room of his house. Carrying a plate of food, he completely didn’t know whether he should go forward or retreat. If his memory didn’t serve him wrong, this should be his own house, the place where he lived right? But why did he have the feeling that he was a guest in someone else’s house, and had just disrupted some kind of adultery?!

Ren Zhu and Yin Feng suddenly also felt that the atmosphere had become delicate. They both thought about what they had said just a moment ago. Ren Zhu’s mouth twitched and he explained: “No matter what you’re thinking right now, it’s all wrong.”

Lu Ming: “……”

Chef Yin’s expression was even more cold and stern: “Just then, you didn’t hear anything. Is that right?”

Lu Ming paused for a moment and then quickly nodded: “Right, right! I didn’t hear anything! It’s time to eat, come eat! Teacher Yin, please taste the dishes I made!” Lu Ming could single-handedly support a family, so it was certain that he also wasn’t foolish. He decided to completely swallow this matter back into his stomach and not mention it. This way, no one would feel awkward.

However, as soon as he lifted his foot, the screaming rubber chicken once again, without any regard for the time, location, people or atmosphere, let out a cry. The sound was mournful and resounding, causing the three in the living room to once again fall into a mysterious silence.

Lu Ming: “……” His brain must have been eaten up by the salesman back then such that he would buy this screaming rubber chicken toy. Now, who can tell him what he should do?!

Fortunately, at this moment, a saviour dropped out of the sky. Lu Xiao walked out of the kitchen carrying a dish in each hand. He completely didn’t take notice of the strange and stiff atmosphere in the living room. Using his gentlest expression, he looked at Yin Feng and Ren Zhu and said: “Two guests. Please try the dishes my brother made. Although I think that he still needs to continue to improve, these three dishes he made today are still pretty good.”

Once the matter weighing on Lu Xiao’s mind was lifted, his entire being was almost immediately brimming with energy. He then realised that during this period, his little brother must have gone through a lot of hardship. The good older brother in him suddenly felt like his heart was bursting. Facing the importance of these two top teachers who could completely decide the future development of his little brother, Lu Xiao felt that his current appearance must be exactly the same as those parents who use various kinds of methods to invite the teacher for a meal.

Naturally, he was not at all aware that his family’s little brother had already indirectly and subtly offended his own teacher.

The next series of events was what Lu Ming would describe as a hellish lecture. He never knew that the iceberg Teacher Yin, who was unwilling to even spare a few extra words in the classroom, would actually have such a poisonous tongue. The three dishes he made, even the rice he cooked, were all picked at from their colour to their smell and taste. To add on to this, although Teacher Ren was sitting beside Yin Feng and smiling, he also nitpicked here and there. Lu Ming’s head went from high to low. In the end, he almost shoved it under the folding chair. His entire being was emitting a gloomy aura that said ‘I have nothing left to live for, I might as well be a worm’.

Lu Xiao: “……” I am now very distressed for my brother but if I speak up for him, would I also be attacked until I am covered in cuts and bruises? Teacher Ren is actually so strict. Later on, I still want to make him a meal to express my gratitude. Do I need to wait ten years until I can invite him to eat?

Seeing that Lu Ming was about to doubt himself until he felt that he had nothing left to live for, Teacher Ren promptly ceased his attack and started to praise. “Actually, Xiao Ming. What you made was still pretty good, although all aspects were a little lacking. In short, it’s just that Teacher Yin’s and my standards are too high. Compared with your peers, you are already very outstanding. If you maintain this level and continue to persist, I believe that I can recommend you over to Chef Song after this semester ends.”

Lu Ming abruptly raised his head, his two eyes immediately becoming bright. Teacher Yin frowned: “You can’t even handle a little criticism. How will you become an outstanding chef in the future? You should know that there are actually far too many picky customers out there. Furthermore, there are also the kind that deliberately come to pick faults. Even if you cook something perfectly, they would disregard everything to complain. Then, don’t tell me you won’t want to live anymore?”

“You-“

“Cough.”

Chef Yin still wanted to continue speaking when Teacher Ren sharply coughed. Yin Feng rolled his eyes. “So you need to remember that in order to be an outstanding chef, you must have a strong heart. Unlike your brother.”

Lu Ming: “Eh, en. I remember. I will continue to work hard!”

Lu Xiao: “……” I always feel that this star chef doesn’t particularly like me. Is this my imagination?

A meal that could still be considered as everyone enjoying themselves(?) ended. Ren Zhu and Yin Feng were going to leave so the two brothers sent them to the door. Ren Zhu thought about it and paused: “Although I said that I would recommend you when the semester ends, the sooner something is done about your brother’s hands and health, the better. Tomorrow, I will go find Chef Song to ask if he has any tonic soup recipes that are quite good for the bones and meridians of the hand. Then, you can make it every day for your brother to let him rehabilitate.”

When Lu Ming heard these words, at first he was blank, and then his nose rapidly became sour. At this moment, he felt that he really didn’t have any future prospects, but his eyes still couldn’t help but redden: “En. Thank you Teacher. I will definitely carefully cook for my brother every day.”

Beside him, Lu Xiao listened to his brother’s nasally speech and also felt his nose grow sour: “For half a year, I have stayed at home and idled my time away, pushing all the heavy burden and responsibility onto Xiao Ming. I wasn’t a single bit like an older brother. I have decided that from today onwards, I will also do things to the best of my ability. Even if I’m not good at it in the beginning, I can always improve if I slowly practise.”

“Brother!”

“Lu Ming.”

Ren Zhu looked at these two brothers and couldn’t help but faintly laugh. He then suddenly paused and said: “That, Lu Xiao. How about you try making Western desserts? Since you used to make Western cuisine, you must have also dabbled in Western desserts before. Start from the most basic dessert and then open a small store online to sell them. You should be able to make a pretty good profit. Of course, this certainly can’t compare with your previous salary. However, it can absolutely support your family.”

Lu Xiao’s expression was somewhat doubtful: “Is it really okay like this?”

Contrarily, Lu Ming happy exclaimed: “It’s okay! It’s okay! Brother, the cakes and desserts you made before were really delicious. Now, even if you’re like this, they would definitely also be very good. In our class, Song Tian Tian puts her desserts online and sells them. You just need to join with a food delivery service. Every month, she can make several thousand yuan!”

Lu Xiao immediately became spirited. If it’s like this, then not only could he develop his skills, he could also support his family, take care of his little brother, and save up money for his own surgery.

Thus, the two brothers quickly came to a decision on this matter. At this moment, their expressions were brimming with hope. Seeing them like this, Ren Zhu felt that his task for the current world should pretty much be complete.

[Ding. Hello host. Recently, you have been eating very happily right? I’ll tell you some good news. Your current world mission has already progressed 45 percent lah. Please continue to persist. You can then live a good carefree life and eat everything that’s under the skies.]

Ren Zhu heard the notice from the system that had been silent for a long time and raised his eyebrows. Really, speak of the devil and he would appear. However, the completion level was only 45 percent? He had thought that it would be at least 60 percent. Clearly, he found the right mission target. However, it was either that something was still going to happen to the Lu brothers, or that there was still something that he missed.

Thinking of what the system had said after the completion of the previous world’s task, he couldn’t help but lament the mission’s treachery. He had assumed that the mission target would just be Lu Xiao Pang, and yet Zhou Lai was also counted in the mission. If he had only completed the task for Lu Xiao Pang and had not attended to Zhou Lai, perhaps he wouldn’t have even been able to live up to 60 years old……

Ze. His mood became bad again.

In his heart, Ren Zhu ruthlessly criticised his garbage system. He thought that this time, how long could he live? He was seriously and carefully thinking about this when a voice sounded by his ear.

“Song Xiao Sa isn’t easy to talk with. That person is extremely inflexible and stubborn. If you want to go ask him for his soup recipe on raising health, I reckon it’s very unlikely he would give it to you.”

Ren Zhu returned to earth. Hearing what Yin Feng said, he carefully thought of Chef Song’s temperament and conduct, and his face immediately stiffened. That was indeed a stubborn and inflexible old man. He also really treasured his own craftsmanship as an important inheritance to pass down. Knowing the recipe for his health raising soup, besides becoming his own disciple, it’s estimated that there’s no other method.

However, he had still boasted to Lu Ming just a moment ago. Face slapping also shouldn’t come so fast ah……

Yin Feng saw Ren Zhu’s face suddenly stiffen. Seeing that ashamed and distressed appearance, he couldn’t help but laugh. He had also never seen this person have this kind of expression before. Now, seeing it for the first time, he felt that it was…… very cute.

Ren Zhu had already determined who this person was in his heart a long time ago. After confirming it, he completely got rid of his previous polite and sceptical attitude towards Yin Feng and rolled his eyes: “What are you laughing at? Is this very interesting?!”

Yin Feng felt that even when he rolled his eyes, this person in front of him was particularly pleasing to his eyes. Not afraid that Ren Zhu would be angry, he nodded his head and very earnestly said: “It is pretty interesting. I discovered that you seem very cute and nice to look at.”

Teacher Ren: “…… Shut up. Don’t ramble.”

Hearing those two words, Chef Yin’s eyes instead became bright: “I didn’t ramble. Everything I said was true.”

In his heart, Teacher Ren coldly laughed. As expected, no matter how he changed, his innate character was still the same. “You should quickly stop talking ah. Your iceberg persona is going to collapse.”

Yin Feng laughed. He then abruptly controlled his expression and said to Ren Zhu: “I have a pretty good soup recipe for maintaining good health. I researched it myself and moreover, it has already gone through testing. If you ask me, I can give it to you. After all, in the same domestic market, the health raising soup in my hands is a little more effective than that of Chef Song’s. It is also a little more expensive.”

Ren Zhu felt that he seemed to have had an auditory hallucination: “You have a soup recipe in your hands for maintaining good health?” He looked Yin Feng up and down. When Chef Yin was looked at until he couldn’t help but blush, only then did Ren Zhu doubtfully ask: “Looking at your body, there doesn’t seem to be any problems ah. Why would you put your skills into the field of tonic soups? Could it be that Uncle and Auntie’s health isn’t good?”

The corner of Chef Yin’s mouth slightly twitched: “Their health is good to the point that it can compare with your big sister’s.” At such an age, she could still easily hold a knife to chop people down.

“Uh…” That picture was too beautiful so Ren Zhu stopped thinking about it: “So, this is very strange ah.”

Yin Feng paused for a moment and then also nodded his head: “…… Yes. Actually, I also think that this is quite strange.”

The next second, his expression became somewhat gloomy. His tone seemed to have joking manner, but anyone could tell that he was serious. “Perhaps it was just my groundless fear, but strangely, just like the dreams I had, I always felt that I needed to do this.”

Yin Feng turned his head to look at Ren Zhu, his eyes were extremely focused: “Perhaps this could prevent something terrible from happening in the future.”

Ren Zhu felt his voice had become hoarse and dry: “For instance?”

“For instance, I don’t know when, a certain person would suddenly leave my side.”

In this second, Ren Zhu felt his heart suddenly break into pieces, extremely painful and filled with sorrow.

Yin Feng!!!!!
