Cheng Su watched in surprise as Ning Ge’s hands flew about, the small knife in his hand was as if it had come to life, practically dancing with flair.
"Not bad, the way you handle that knife," Cheng Su praised, "Anyone who didn’t know better would think you use a knife all the time!"
Ning Ge was originally quite proud and was about to show off when he heard her latter comment, nearly cutting his own finger, and said: "I have a knack for it." In fact, back when they trained, they used knives quite a bit to prepare for all kinds of danger.
Cheng Su was about to speak when the sound system outside blared, the emcee’s voice rang out: "Now time has passed the one-hour mark, let’s have the judges go and see which stage each contestant has reached?"
Cheng Su then looked up at the clock in the room, indeed time had already passed.
She got a bit anxious, her actions became a bit chaotic.
Ning Ge saw this, reached over, and gave her hand a firm squeeze, saying, "Don’t rush, we’re just here for fun."
Cheng Su’s eyes curved in a smile, and she continued to calmly process the fruit cores.
"Contestant 1 is already preparing to start boiling..."
"..."
Someone entered their room, saw the two still processing fruit cores, and paused for a moment. The emcee said: "Contestant 3, still handling fruit flesh." Then came over and asked Cheng Su, "Will you have enough time?"
Cheng Su, wearing a mask, mumbled a reply, "We’re trying our best."
Someone stood not far away watching for a while before leading others out.
Meanwhile, the staff of Joy Soon Loy waiting in the competition area became nervous upon hearing they were still processing fruit cores.
"President Ning hasn’t been involved in operations. His speed at handling fruit cores isn’t even as fast as mine. If I’d known, I should have gone in with President Cheng," Mai Yanmei said anxiously, her eyes turning red.
