On the day of the interview, students and teachers gathered at the back kitchen door of the second canteen.
Whispers could be heard in the crowd, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The purpose of everyone's visit is twofold: one is to catch a glimpse of the legendary Michelin restaurant chef's style, and the other is to see me - Yun Qiao - perform in the interview, with some even waiting to see me embarrass myself.
I feel cold and sweaty, and my whole state of being has become very bad.
I nervously tugged at Mu Jue's sleeve, my voice tinged with a hint of pleading: "Senior, can I not interview? Actually, I think my current level is already enough to inherit my family's restaurant."
I was telling the truth. With Mu Jue's guidance, my cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I dare say, the dishes I make now are even better than what my mom cooks.
Mu Jue After a moment of silence, his eyes revealed seriousness and determination.
Suddenly, he reached out and ruffled my head, as if comforting a frightened little animal: "Don't be nervous, just perform as you usually do."
His voice was calm and warm, like a clear spring flowing through my heart.
I took a deep breath, but the nervousness still tightly enveloped me: "No, Senior, it seems like your father might eat people."
I suddenly realized that I had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected myself, "Ah no, I didn't mean to say he's ugly. Your dad could have produced someone as beautiful as you, so he's definitely not ugly. I just meant to say, he really looks like a monster."
The more I spoke, the more confused I became, and in the end, I didn't even know what to say. Oh my, I've lost the ability to speak.
Just as I was about to bite off my own tongue, Mu Jue suddenly grabbed my hand and stood in front of me.
Since I was facing the public, Mu Jue deliberately bent down and turned his head to the side, and I saw everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
Nima, things are not like that... I was just about to explain, but Mu Jue turned around and shouted, "She is your son's girlfriend, the future daughter-in-law. You figure it out."
Senior, is it really okay for you to lie to your dad like this? It's just an interview...
I don't know why, but after he said this sentence, I suddenly felt full of courage and sweetness in my heart. The clear steps of Mu Jue teaching me how to make steak last night flashed through my mind, without any omissions or confusion.
I calmed my mind and began to repeat each step until the dish was plated. It was only then that I came to my senses... I had actually completed a dish by myself for the first time.
In my expectant gaze, Mu Jue's father took a bite and immediately said, "The heat is not enough, the red wine mostly covers the aroma of the steak, and the pasta is cooked for too long." After speaking, he actually got up and left.
I knew it, how could I possibly succeed?
As always, it's still very difficult to eat.
Everyone watched the good show with smiles, chatted with each other, and left. Needless to say, I will be famous at school tomorrow.
When everyone had left and only Mu Jue and I were left, my tears were about to fall. At that moment, Mu Jue cut a piece of steak and brought it to my mouth, saying, "Try it." I hesitated, but he insisted stubbornly, "Try it."
I had to open my mouth.
A few seconds later, I stared at Mu Jue in a daze... Did my taste buds go wrong? I actually found it delicious.
Mu Jue looked at me, his eyes shining with seriousness. He smiled and said, "If my father thinks you didn't do well, he wouldn't give you any feedback. Getting his feedback means your level has reached the point where he's willing to give guidance. Yun Qiao, you're amazing!" His words were full of affirmation and trust in me.
Just now, I held back tears when I was extremely embarrassed, but now, tears gushed out like a dam breaking.
I felt both moved and somewhat annoyed: "You jerk, why didn't you say so earlier? I was feeling so embarrassed!" My emotions were completely released at this moment, and all the tension and unease flowed away with the tears.
As I spoke, I went to hit him in a fit of pique, but Mu Jue was quicker and grabbed my hand.
Before I could react, he stole a kiss from my lips. This sudden move left me stunned in an instant.
What's going on? My cheeks felt hot, my heart raced, and I had no idea how to react.
Mu Jue A sly smile hung on his lips, seemingly quite pleased with his own actions: "This is the right timing. If I had kissed you earlier, you might have been so happy that you would have forgotten how to cook. But now, kissing you is just the right time."
His words carried a hint of mischief and self-satisfaction, clearly showing his confidence in his timing.
I was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said, "Senior, I want to make a dish, pan-fried Mu Jue, 80% cooked, what do you think?"
Mu Jue laughed heartily, his eyes twinkling with undisguised joy: "Then I have to be careful, don't let you burn it."
