Chapter 97 You Are the First
There was plenty for breakfast.

Whether it was beef noodles or century egg and lean meat porridge, Bai Jin would serve them out separately and eat them. Since the three breakfasts were eaten together, there was a lot left over.

Including the handmade burger, it was so big that Bai only ate one third of it.

This was already a lot, and she didn't have the habit of giving her leftovers to others, so she asked Qingyan to help her deal with it.

She praised Qingchen, "Qingchen, your cooking is really delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious burger. You are amazing."

Qingchen had been waiting by the side. When he heard Bai Jinyi say this, he raised his head even higher, like a rooster that had won a battle. "That was, back then, I participated in a cooking competition and almost won first place."

Speaking of this, Qingchen still felt a little regretful. After all, he had tried his best to compete for the first place.

Qingchen exhaled lightly, and at this moment, he heard Bai Jian's voice -

"But in my heart, you are number one."

The girl's voice is sweet.

Qingchen was stunned. He turned his head and met the girl's clear eyes. Her eyes were curved and full of smiles.

It seemed as if he was the only ghost in her eyes.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came over me.

Qingchen's throat moved slightly.

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "...You...you haven't eaten the food made by the number one."

"How did you know."

He muttered, but his eyes were shining and he looked away uncomfortably.

"Well... I would still say this even if I ate it." Bai Jinhe propped up his chin and said, "After all, the relationship between people is based on fate. Of course, the same is true between people and ghosts."

“And I think we are destined to be together.”

Qingchen felt even more uncomfortable. He snorted coldly, thinking that Bai was just talking nonsense: "What kind of fate? You slapped me in the face at the beginning."

"Doesn't that just prove our fate?" Bai Jin said, "This is what we mean by 'no friendship without fighting'."

No fight, no acquaintance?

Qingchen felt that he liked this word.

"…Humph, I don't believe in the saying that there is no friendship without fighting."

The corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably: "But since you said so, then I will forgive you reluctantly, but only reluctantly, and the follow-up will depend on your performance."

"No, it depends on your performance." Bai Jin corrected him with a smile: "For example, the dish you cooked this time was very much to my taste. I know you gave it your all."

"As for the match at noon... I won't intentionally favor you. Even though we are destined to be together, I still hope you can give it your all."

"Who asked you to take sides?"

Qingchen was somewhat touched, but he almost got angry when he heard these words. He looked at Bai Jinrong with dissatisfaction, and met Bai Jinrong's smiling and tolerant eyes.

She smiled and said, "Because in my heart, you are the well-deserved number one."

Qingchen: ...

All the resentment disappeared without a trace in an instant.

If ghosts had heartbeats, Qingchen's heart would probably jump out of his chest right now, but even so, he could still feel the heat.

He looked at Bai Jian.

There was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk, who asked you to put me first?"

"I am number one."

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned into a puff of white smoke and left.

Qinglin and Qingyun who witnessed the whole process: ...

They seemed to know why Qingyan liked Bai Jizhen so much.

"Slick tongue."

Qinglin sneered, then turned and left.

Qingyun blinked and whispered, "Sweet talk."

Qingyun lowered her voice and followed Qinglin's pace.

Bai just supported his chin and looked at their backs with a smile.

……

After breakfast, we start preparing the dishes for lunch, as the competition at noon is the highlight.

Beware of cheating.
Qinglin Xiangbai simply proposed,

Judges are prohibited from watching the cooking on site.

Entries must also remain confidential.

In this way, the judges can only evaluate and score based on their personal taste when tasting.

Bai merely agreed.

This is only fair. So he called Zhang Tao and Qing Chen to announce the news in public.

a bolt from the blue!

Zhang Tao felt like he was struck by lightning!
He had originally wanted to ask the players to help him a little, but now...

"Okay, I agree."

Qingchen's confident voice came from the side.

Zhang Tao: …

"Okay, I agree."

There's no reason why he can't even defeat a ghost.

Zhang Tao thought so in his mind and made up his mind to make the most perfect dish.

So the three ghosts took the nine players away from the scene.

Qingchen and Zhang Tao also started cooking.

Bai Jin was just too full, so she returned to her big bed and prepared to sleep.

Of course, because there are too many people,

She had drawn a curtain next to her bed last night so she had her own private space.

He yawned and fell asleep.

……

The players led by the three Qingyan ghosts began to discuss: "Do you think Brother Tao can win at noon today?"

"I think so."

"I feel so too."

"The steak that Brother Tao fried is so delicious. It's the best steak I've ever eaten."

"I feel so too."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately laughed at by the three Qingyan ghosts.

"The best steak ever. What an ignorant bunch of humans."

"It's just a steak. If you don't know, you might think it's some kind of magic pill."

"So humans, you should be nicer to yourselves."

Players:...

They subconsciously wanted to refute, but when they saw that the three Qingyan ghosts had not even touched the ground on their toes, they dared not say anything.

I could only shrink aside and let them mock me.

……

Qingchen had chosen his own ingredients. He looked at Zhang Tao who was also choosing various meats, and said, "I think you can choose more oranges."

Zhang Tao didn't want to pay attention to him.

Qingchen then said: "Otherwise, what if you get thirsty after just eating my food?"

Zhang Tao: …

The vein on his forehead jumped, and he said, "You can make some drinks for yourself."

"I'm not familiar with drinks, so you come." Qingchen said, "Although you lost, I won't restrict you from making drinks."

Qingchen was so annoying. Zhang Tao took a deep breath. He couldn't stand it any longer: "How do you know that the boss will eat what you cook?"

"What else?" Qing Chen said as a matter of course: "Just the steak you made this morning? Tsk, even a dog wouldn't eat it."

Zhang Tao: …

“…I was too busy.”

"Excuse."

"The game was supposed to start at noon..."

"That means you don't care." Qingchen said rudely, "I really don't know why I would accept someone like you as my younger brother."

Zhang Tao: …

"I…"

He was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, but the other person was a ghost, so he didn't dare.

I could only hold my breath and start cooking.

"I don't care about you."

Zhang Tao said this.

Qingchen snorted softly.

I don’t dare.
