Chapter 26: Poison poison poison (2)
Bonus chapter. Another one coming up soon~
This was a pair of very nice looking eyes. The black pupils were distinct against the white, and the eyes were shaped such that the outer corners were slightly tilted upwards. They didn’t have the rustic look of thick eyebrows and big eyes, nor were they too slender and harsh looking. The most significant point was that these eyes were very sharp and mysterious. When he fixed his gaze on anyone, they would always be unconsciously drawn to him.
Ren Zhu suddenly thought of the previous world and that person who was always following behind him on his second day of work with a gaze that nearly burnt a hole in his back. However, at that time, that gaze was not unreasonable. It had a look of strong interest, like a hunter who saw an interesting prey. However, the eyes that were currently looking at him held unconcealed disdain and contempt.
Ren Zhu couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. He didn’t seem to have provoked this genius star chef right? Even eating the blowfish and getting poisoned was because of this person. From beginning to end, he was the most innocent person okay? Having already been hospitalised in place of this person, how come this guy was still looking at him without the least bit of remorse?
“Right ah. It’s truly thanks to your blessing.” Teacher Ren always had a tooth for a tooth kind of attitude. Apart from his benevolence towards his bear students, his degree of tolerance towards any other adult was zero. Even if the other was really handsome, it was still useless.
Although Yin Feng had already anticipated that he wouldn’t receive any good treatment when he came here, but from the clear sarcasm and ridicule in Ren Zhu’s words, he still couldn’t help but scorn in his heart. As expected, this person didn’t deserve his friendship. He shouldn’t have come here to visit him. Just when Yin Feng decided to simply put the things down and leave, he heard that person who only had a pretty good face start to speak.
“First don’t say anything else. How are those children? Did the police take them away? Was there a teacher accompanying them to go together? Did the headmaster properly handle this matter at school? Regardless of how it’s said, this is a major incident. Before the true evidence can be obtained, we also shouldn’t say anything about them. Besides, even if they really did something, these children certainly didn’t do it on purpose. Therefore, the school must properly explain this matter to everyone. Otherwise, it will create psychological shadows in the future.”
Ren Zhu’s voice was cold and clear, causing Yin Feng to pause in his steps as he was leaving. He incredulously turned his head and looked back at that person with slightly knitted eyebrows resting on the hospital bed. Although his face didn’t have any big expression, the concern and earnestness in his eyes couldn’t be faked. This kind of appearance unexpectedly made people unable to remove their gaze.
Yin Feng pursed his lips. This was truly strange. Since when did this person who only cared about himself, completely didn’t earnestly teach the students and also liked to receive gifts from parents to pay attention to their children, start to worry about the students? Moreover, amongst those four students in this incident, not a single one had sent Ren Zhu a gift yet.
Seeing that Yin Feng wasn’t speaking, Ren Zhu thought that the school did not properly handle this matter and immediately raised his eyebrows: “Our school is so big. It can’t be that the police directly took the children away without an explanation? That is honestly a little too terrible.”
It was only after hearing this that Yin Feng then reacted. He shook his head: “No. There was a teacher who left with them.” Slightly pausing for a moment, Yin Feng then proceeded to say the details he hadn’t originally intended say: “When those children were cooking, they were all under exam monitoring. In addition, I have examined their techniques before. They handled the blowfish pretty well. The fish soup shouldn’t have been poisonous.”
Ren Zhu said: “Ha. Then this is interesting. As a top class chef, I believe that you wouldn’t be mistaken. Then the four of us being poisoned and admitted to hospital, doesn’t that indicate that there was something suspicious with the soup bowls? Previously when the doctor gave me gastric lavage, he determined that it was tetrodotoxin. Therefore there was surely blowfish poison in the soup bowl itself?”
Speaking up to now, Ren Zhu’s expression became deep. He was previously still worried that the poisoner would be hard to find, but it now seemed like he could perhaps immediately find the murderer and complete the task?
Yin Feng narrowed his eyes. For the second time today, this person had surprised him. Since when did he become so intelligent? Previously, even if this person wanted to break his head, he still wouldn’t be able to think of this point. “You……”
Ren Zhu suddenly felt a sharp penetrating gaze firmly staring at him. He subconsciously raised his head and saw the super Mr Perfect top chef with his previous expression of disdain replaced with great suspicion. “What?”
Yin Feng looked at those pair of eyes and after a long while, he slowly shook his head: “Nothing.” He reached out and pointed at the luxurious lunch box on the hospital bed table: “Eat it while it’s hot. Otherwise it will cool down.”
Teacher Ren suddenly felt that he was being pampered. How come just a moment ago this person was still looking at him with contempt, and now he was telling him to eat the meal while it was hot? It couldn’t be that his brain…… had some intermittent problem? However, he was indeed hungry right now. Hence he willingly accepted Yin Feng’s advice and put the wooden luxurious food box onto the hospital’s small overbed table. After opening the box, a burst of fragrance instantly assaulted his senses.
Teacher Ren originally still matched the contempt on Chef Yin’s face, but after he saw the rich dinner inside the box, this instantly dissipated a lot. Just based on the smell, he could tell that the dishes were absolutely excellent. And amongst these dishes, at a glance he saw one that he was very fond of, but the previous Ning Xun always couldn’t make that dish well.
“Ah……” Ren Zhu softly sighed. Next to the food box was a pair of silver chopsticks. He took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork ribs, putting it in his mouth and softly chewing. That wonderfully rich flavour immediately flooded his taste buds. This was a very beautiful braised pork ribs dish. Ren Zhu felt that he had probably never eaten such a satisfactory and perfect dish. It was just like he had eaten some rare delicacy.
Yin Feng looked at Ren Zhu as he wordlessly ate the dinner he made, and then ate…… the tears on his face. He was immediately at a complete loss for what to do. His eternally cold face also unconsciously carried a trace of concern. “Is what I made not to your liking?” When Yin Feng asked this short question, his expression was grave as though he had scored a big fat zero on his exam. He then started to recall his process of making the dishes in the afternoon. Although he wasn’t particularly diligent when making the dishes, there still shouldn’t be any mistakes.
When Ren Zhu heard these words, he fiercely reacted. He discovered that he had unexpectedly cut himself a sorry figure and cried. He immediately felt a little helpless and forced out a smile. Even though he had spent the entire afternoon thinking about it, he was still unable to calm down from his abrupt departure in the previous world. Every time he thought of what kind of mood the person he left behind would have been in, he would feel as though there was a fishbone lodged in his heart. No matter what he did, it couldn’t be dispelled.
Hence, a mere braised pork rib dish could make him burst into tears.
“It’s not that. These dishes are so delicious, especially these braised pork ribs. I was so moved that I cried.”
Yin Feng thought he was obviously talking nonsense and did not believe half a word. However, he could confirm that there wasn’t any problems with his dishes, but rather it was this person himself who had some issues. It was reasonable to say that Yin Feng should have discreetly left Ren Zhu to silently lick his own wounds or reflect on his own life. However Chef Yin felt that this person in front of his eyes, who was lowering his head and forcing himself to smile, looked extremely sad. Yin Feng felt like he would be uncomfortable if he didn’t say anything.
“This isn’t worth much. It’s in the school cafeteria every day.” After Chef Yin finished saying this, he shut his mouth and realised that he wasn’t the least bit good at comforting people.
When Ren Zhu heard these words, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed: “How can the food in the school cafeteria compare to this?”
Yin Feng’s eyes slightly widened. What is this person saying? Could it be that he wanted him to always cook for him? They were completely unfamiliar with each other and moreover their temperaments didn’t match. Also, every weekend he had to go to Zhenxiu Hall to work as a chef. When would he have the time to cook meals for this person?
In fact, Chef Yin was completely unaware that what he had thought was not at all what Ren Zhu was thinking.
Yin Feng didn’t say anything. He was having an intense struggle of thoughts in his mind. Ren Zhu was immersed in his previous life’s dissatisfactions, wishing to throw all his pass grievances at the system. However, from start to finish, the system actually hid away and didn’t say a word. No matter what he said, the system refused to reply.
Yin Feng looked at Ren Zhu fuming with anger as he emptied the box of food. Teacher Ren’s resentment and wrath could nearly form into black clouds. Chef Yin felt that if it continued on like this, perhaps something big would happen. Hence, when Ren Zhu had just finished eating the last grain of rice, Chef Yin unwillingly said with no alternative:
“Alright. In the future, I’ll make you food every night. Just take this as compensation for substituting me and getting hospitalised. However, the location must be at the school cafeteria. I am not taking you back to my place.”
Teacher Ren had just finished eating when he heard this explosive statement: “???” What happened while I was eating? Why was it that when I just finished, the situation suddenly became such that this top class star chef would make me dinner every day?!
Ren Zhu suspiciously looked at this young man who had an iceberg face and really wanted to ask him if his brain had short circuited. However, he remembered that his own cooking skills were pretty bad. He could only make a few standard home cooked dishes. Now he was offered a delicious dinner every night, eating it was better than not eating it ah. It’s not like he was accepting bribes. Moreover, it was made by a top rated chef.
“Okay! No problem. It’s fine if we directly do this in your dedicated teaching kitchen. Since you are in charge of cooking, then I will buy the ingredients.” At this moment, Ren Zhu was in a good mood. After all, thinking that he could eat delicious food every night, and that they would all be on par with the braised pork ribs he had looked forward to, his resentment was greatly reduced.
Yin Feng saw that Ren Zhu’s mood seemed a lot better and also faintly sighed in the bottom of his heart. He had originally thought that this person would be pretty hard to appease, but now he could use a meal to settle this……
Chef Yin suddenly stood up and tightly pursed his lips: “I have something else to do so I’ll first take my leave.” After saying this, he turned around and left. Teacher Ren looked on with a completely baffled expression.
Didn’t this person change his attitude a little too fast? Sure enough, his brain wasn’t functioning properly.
At this moment, Chef Yin was driving his luxurious Benz with an ugly expression. He had actually agreed to cook a meal for this person every night?! Moreover, he didn’t even make any other requirements or conditions?! Since when did he lower his status to be so cheap? Just then, his brain must have been wedged between a door.
Regardless, the first meeting between these two teachers was still pretty harmonious.
However at this moment in the Zhenxiu Institute dormitories, there was a chilly atmosphere.
“Lu Ming! Did you frame us? Quickly speak the truth!”
