I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Um—Coco, the student in charge of cooking has to leave. What should we do?"

Luo Xiaoke turned around and blinked. "What?"

"Something suddenly happened at his home, and he said he wanted to transform into Ultraman to save the world."

Luo Xiaoke tilted her head. "Is he light too?"

"Well, what if it's true?"

"..."

The girl in charge of the kitchen looked a little embarrassed, holding a string of newly printed orders in her hand. "But there are still a lot of omelet rice dishes that haven't been made yet, and there are still people queuing outside."

"Don't the other students know how to do it? If so, that would be troublesome," Luo Xiaoke said.

"I know a little bit," the girl said, glancing back at the kitchen, her voice clearly lacking confidence. "It's just... I'm afraid I'll mess it up."

"Customers won't wait for you forever."

"It's okay, I'll give it a try." Luo Xiaoke patted her chest lightly and said with a smile, "It's just fried rice and eggs, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Lin Zhou, who was drinking a beverage nearby, stopped abruptly.

Ye Zhiyu also paused for a moment.

The two of them looked up at Luo Xiaoke almost at the same time.

"..."

"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaoke tilted her head.

Lin Zhou put down his cup and slowly spoke, "Coco, do you remember when was the last time you cooked for me?"

"I remember, didn't I make fried rice for Zhouzhou last time?"

Black Gold Egg Fried Rice!!!

Egg Fried Rice

Stir-fried eggs with charcoal!

No, I can eat cocoa myself, but these guests can't!

Lin Zhou is protecting his food!

"cocoa……"

"yes?"

"You're not obligated to face a dish you can't cook." Lin Zhou had already stood up. "Since no one else can cook, I'll do it!"

"Anyway, it's just omelet rice, nothing particularly complicated."

"Leave it to me, Coco!"

A true man will never put the girl he likes in a difficult position!

Luo Xiaoke was taken aback for a moment. "Can Zhouzhou do it?"

Lin Zhou nodded. Although his [Beginner Cooking Proficiency] skill had never been particularly noticeable, it was still a legitimate skill given by the Heartbeat App.

"Your cooking is terrible," Ye Zhiyu said.

"Wait."

Lin Zhou ignored her and followed the students from Class 3B into the kitchen—a makeshift work area. The space wasn't very big, but eggs, rice, chicken, onions, and other ingredients were all prepared.

Even though the previous person in charge of cooking had already chopped some of the ingredients, Lin Zhou could roughly figure out how to do it just by glancing at them.

Lin Zhou wasn't particularly fast at first, but after making one batch, he quickly got the hang of it. He used the spatula with exceptional ease, at least on a completely different level from the classmates next to him who could only fry eggs.

"You really know how?" The classmate next to me was stunned.

Is it too much to be so handsome and able to cook?

"No, I already said I could."

"I thought you were faking it."

Am I really that unreliable?

After scooping out the fried rice, Lin Zhou began to prepare the eggs.

After pouring the egg mixture into the pan, it spread out quickly. The heat was just right. When there was still a little bit of egg skin left that hadn't completely solidified, he gently tucked the egg skin towards the center and then placed it on top of the fried rice. A golden omelet rice dish was quickly formed.

A few classmates nearby were silent for a few seconds, "...It looks like what they sell in stores."

"Wow..." Ye Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise.

Coco also opened her eyes wide.

Lin Zhou pushed the plate over, "Next serving."

"have to!"

Just as Lin Zhou was about to have the omelet rice brought out, he suddenly noticed several bottles of ketchup next to him. He remembered that when he ordered earlier, he asked if he could have a design drawn on it, but he was refused every time he asked, from Gundam to Pikachu. His hand stopped moving abruptly.

That's right.

Others can't draw.

I can do it myself.

[Beginner to Advanced Drawing] It's been sitting there gathering dust for ages, it can't just have no other interactive effects besides drawing, right?

Lin Zhou picked up the ketchup bottle. "Wait a minute."

The girl carrying the tray next to him turned around, but blushed slightly when she met Lin Zhou's gaze. She quickly lowered her head. "What's wrong?"

"Add a touch of art."

"what?"

Lin Zhou didn't explain. He simply pointed the bottle at the omelet rice, squeezed it slightly, and then slowly moved it along the egg skin.

Tomato sauce is certainly not as easy to control as a pen, and the lines can't be particularly fine, but his sense of shape and proportion is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he quickly drew the outline of a mechanical face on it.

The people next to them didn't understand at first.

After the forehead, eyes, and visor gradually appeared, some people were stunned for a few seconds.

"I'm awesome."

"Gundam?"

Lin Zhou stopped what he was doing, glanced at it with satisfaction, and said, "You have good taste."

"No way, you actually used ketchup to draw Gundam?"

"Since you wouldn't draw it for me earlier, I had to do it myself."

Luo Xiaoke covered her mouth and laughed, "It really does look alike."

"Of course." Lin Zhou pushed the plate forward. "Take it out."

The first serving of omelet rice had just been delivered when a sound came from outside.

"Huh?! Why is there a Gundam on it?"

"Can we still order this?"

"Me too!"

Lin Zhou: "..."

broken.

It seems they've come up with a new business.

Sure enough, not long after, a new order was delivered, with an extra line written on it in addition to the usual omelet rice.

Can you draw Ralts?

"..."

Lin Zhou stared at those words in silence for a moment.

Ye Zhiyu leaned closer, "You can do that too?"

"What a joke, it's just a Pokémon drawing."

Lin Zhou took another serving of the prepared omelet rice, thought for a moment about Ralts's design, and quickly began to move the tomato sauce. Because the egg crepe area was limited, he didn't make it too complicated. He just outlined the most recognizable features, such as the hairstyle, face, and two small red horns on the sides, and added a simplified body.

A few minutes later.

A chibi version of Ralts appears on an omelet rice.

The people around fell silent again.

"..."

"Does it look like it?" Lin Zhou asked.

"I'm awesome."

"Don't tell me you're not like me, tell me if you do."

"picture."

"Then take it out."

This time, the reaction outside was even greater. In particular, the girl who ordered took several pictures with her phone after receiving the food, and some people even came over to see. The word spread quickly, and soon people who originally came just to eat started adding all sorts of strange requests to their orders.

"I want Pikachu!"

"Can I draw Kang Shen?"

"Is a failed man acceptable?"

Lin Zhou drew while making omelet rice. At first, he found it quite interesting. After making more than a dozen servings, he gradually got into the swing of things. He became faster and faster at frying rice, making egg crepes, plating, and squeezing ketchup. The classmates who were helping him only needed to prepare the ingredients and carry the plates.

Luo Xiaoke stayed by his side the whole time, helping him out, occasionally handing Lin Zhou eggs or ketchup. Seeing him draw several completely different patterns, her smile never faded.

"Zhouzhou really can do everything."

"No, not really," Lin Zhou said modestly. "I just know a little bit."

Just when Lin Zhou thought that was about it for the day, another order was delivered.

[Draw anything, the more complex the better, extra charge!]

Lin Zhou glanced at it.

Ok?

provocative?

He glanced again at the ketchup in his hand.

The more complex, the better, right?

Lin Zhou did not answer. He took another whole omelet rice and placed it in front of him, then slowly began to make the first stroke from the left.

The people next to them didn't pay much attention at first, since they had already seen Gundam, Ralts, and Pikachu, so it wouldn't be too surprising if something else came along.

Lin Zhou drew faster and faster, leaving those around him dumbfounded.

This is……

This is……

This is?!

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival!"

……
