The Lady’s Facade was Ruined - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Are You Laughing at My Beaten Eggs?

Before long, the day of the field trip had arrived.

As the class president, Shen Wanying had to arrive at school at seven in the morning. As per the arrangements by the school, everyone took a bus together to go to the Starlight Farm. At first, the time on the road was boring, so the Cultural Committee got up and took the lead to get everyone to sing. Thus, they made great progress without succumbing to boredom meanwhile. It didn’t take long before they arrived at their destination.

Since they would be staying at the hotel in the evening, the first thing they did after arriving was check-in. The room arrangements had already been assigned before the field trip. Generally, the students who would stay alone and those who would stay with other students were all decided by the teacher.

Shen Wanying shared a room with Zhao Yimeng. Zhao Yimeng entered they room and took out her stash of snacks she’d brought along, “I’ve brought a lot of food that we can eat tonight and watch the drama. By the way, did you bring the face mask you mentioned last time? I want to try it tonight!”

“Here, I brought it.” Shen Wanying took the mask out of her schoolbag and handed it to Zhao Yimeng. The packaging of the mask looked simple but grand. It looked very expensive.

“It’s really something that would be used by Lady Shen.” Zhao Yimeng exaggeratedly admired.

Shen Wanying said, “You indeed have a talent for acting. I’m looking forward to your performance tonight.”

Zhao Yimeng: “…”

Can you not mention this! I was forced to perform after losing in drawing lots!

“If my monthly test score drops this time, I will have to perform!” Zhao Yimeng took Shen Wanying’s hand and went out together. “Hey, did you hear? Last time I stayed on the second floor in this hotel, I got acquainted with a senior sister. She said that the west room on the first floor was locked all the time, and there seemed to be something filthy in it.”

“…” Shen Wanying was silent for a moment, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. We’ll go and see it later. That room isn’t locked, is it?”

“As one of the class members, you should obey the arrangement of the class and don’t run around.”

“…Oh.”

After the students gathered at the designated area and made sure everyone was accounted for, the main morning activity would go on until lunchtime. All the food ingredients in Starlight Farm were grown and cultivated themselves. Everyone, except the students who were in charge of the cooking in each class, had to go to the farm to gather the ingredients and do their best as the ingredients would be used for lunch.

The farm’s kitchen was very spacious. Today, the kitchen was specially available for the students to use. Each class had three to four people to cook. Shen Wanying called her classmates and went to the kitchen with Huo Cheng.

The kitchen was lively right now. Everyone was preparing the equipment inside. In order to match with the image of the farm, the kitchen was decorated in rustic style. On the contrary to the appearance, the interior was filled with modern equipment. Otherwise, perhaps the students wouldn’t be able to eat any meal today if they really needed to make the fire first on the stove.

“My Lady, why are you here too?” Fang Yichang, who was preparing to use the wok, saw Shen Wanying and immediately put down the wok in his hand, and greeted her eagerly. Shen Wanying smiled and replied, “I’m here to help my classmates.”

“Oh, by the way, I’m good at cooking. I’ll show it to you later.”

Huo Cheng said indifferently, “Are you cooking or performing acrobatics?”

“Do you want to cook too?” Fang Yichang shot him a glare and raised his chin with confidence. “How about, we’ll see later, who can cook more delicious dishes?”

Hong Hong immediately assisted Fang Yichang in maintaining his image, “Our brother Chang may not be better than you in learning, but you are not necessarily his opponent when you cook. If you want to find a boyfriend, you should find someone like brother Chang.” After speaking, he winked at Shen Wanying.

Shen Wanying laughed and said, “Puppy love isn’t allowed in the school. Let’s start cooking!”

There were some basic ingredients in the kitchen. Huo Cheng planned to process these ingredients first to save time and avoid having more work than they could deal with later. Shen Wanying saw that he had cracked the eggs single-handedly. She tried it herself. Owing to her great effort for a long time without success, she finally compromised and changed to two hands.

Huo Cheng stifled a laugh beside her.

Shen Wanying turned her head and looked at him and said, “Did you laugh just now?”

Huo Cheng denied it immediately, “No, I didn’t.”

Shen Wanying said, “I heard you laugh.”

Huo Cheng: “…”

Shen Wanying: “Are you laughing at my beaten eggs?”

Huo Cheng: “No…”

Shen Wanying threw the eggshells in her hand into the trash can and smiled to Huo Cheng, “You know, in the four-dimensional space, you can take the egg out of it without breaking the eggshell. Did you know this?”

“No.” Huo Cheng looked sincere.

Shen Wanying continued, “So it’s nothing special to be able to crack eggs single-handedly.”

“You’re right.”

After the pleasant exchange, Shen Wanying didn’t plan to continue cracking the eggs. She picked up a knife next to her and said to Huo Cheng, “I’ll cut the mushrooms.”

Because she was afraid the farm didn’t have enough mushrooms, Shen Wanying had bought some mushrooms with her using the class budget. She couldn’t crack the eggs well, but surely she could still perfectly cut the mushrooms by drawing an “X” on the mushrooms.

When Huo Cheng saw Shen Wanying was holding a knife in her hand, the scene of Shen Wanying piercing his abdomen with the knife suddenly flashed through his mind.

This memory was so profound that Huo Cheng could feel the pain in his body altogether.
