"Wuu...the cuisine that Yu made,"

Both of us presented our own dishes on the table,

Yu wept with a tearful expression,

"That...isn't it too bad?"

Yu's cooking has completely deviated from being edible and has turned into charcoal. What kind of extreme level of rottenness does it take to make such super dark cuisine?

It's on par with Su Yuqian,

On the other hand, the cuisine that Zhiye made is like a palace-level dish. This is not an exaggeration on my part,

Both the knife skills and the taste are excellent. I picked up the shredded potatoes and put it in my mouth. Although it is a very common ingredient, the taste is really good.

"Indeed, Yu's cooking skills are completely lacking, but it's okay. Yu will work hard."

Although Yu encourages herself like this, her gaze is fixed on me as if begging me to taste the charcoal she made.

It will kill me. No matter how, I try to convey this message through my eyes, but it doesn't seem to work at all. She keeps this expression.

Being stared at like that, it feels very unnatural to eat,

I want to escape from it. I picked up the charcoal, swallowed my saliva, and ate it. It might really be food poisoning,

But when I raised my head, I saw Yu's expression. It seems that not eating is not an option. So, I closed my eyes and swallowed the charcoal, and an indescribable taste exploded in my mouth,

Then, something like coal residue stuck to my throat,

Uncomfortable... nausea in waves,

"Jie...water"

Fortunately, Zhiye handed me a glass of water and pulled me back from the brink of death. It feels like choking,

"Thank you...Zhiye." I thanked Zhiye and also said to Yu, "You still have room for improvement in your cooking skills."

"Yu knows, Yu will do her best."

Instead of being down, Yu became more determined, which made me feel relieved. After all, cooking is something that is not edible but has been done with effort,

After that, the three of us ate dinner together. Yu ate the dishes made by Zhiye and said she would strive to reach his level,

All I can do is silently say in my heart, "Keep going."

After dinner, Zhiye and Yu cleaned up the dishes. I also planned to help, but Zhiye said the water was already filled and asked me to take a bath first,

As I had sweated a lot, it would be nice to take a shower and make myself comfortable, so I didn't refuse,

I went to the changing room and took off my clothes, then entered the bathroom,

First, I cleaned my body, then I entered the bathtub,

Just as I was halfway through wiping my body, I suddenly heard a noise behind me, and I became nervous,

"Who?"

"It's Yu."

A cheerful voice came from behind,

"Yu?! What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I'm here to help you wash your clothes. I brought the clothes you wanted to change into."

"Oh, I see." I breathed a sigh of relief,

"What's wrong? You sound a little regretful."

Yu said in a puzzled tone.

"No...nothing..."

"Then maybe Yu misheard. Well then, I'll take the clothes you want to wash out."

Listening to the sounds in the changing room, it seems that Yu picked up the clothes I took off. Then I heard footsteps, probably about to leave.

"Um...are you really my elementary school classmate?"

No matter what, this suddenly appearing elementary school classmate feels unfamiliar and without any memories.

"It's absolutely true, there's nothing I can do if I can't remember in a moment."

"So what's the name of our elementary school then?"

"Hmm? Yuu has already left... Don't stay in there for too long either."

"You still haven't answered me..."

I could hear the sound of footsteps growing distant, probably already out of the changing room. I wondered if she really intended to deceive me or if she just didn't hear. It made me ponder for so long that I forgot to get into the bathtub. When I finally stepped in a little while later, the water had already turned cold. Although it didn't really matter, I felt extremely uncomfortable (I have a habit of taking hot baths). So after about five minutes, I left the bathroom.
