A collective gasp swept through the Banquet Hall of Building One as the flower blood; it was the only sound that remained.
Everyone had thought this dish was a disaster.
Those familiar with Lin Xu were racking their brains, wondering how to comfort him later.
Shen Baobao was already prepared to throw herself into Lin Xu’s arms the mont he stepped down from the stage.
Even the chief judge on stage, Liu Zhengyu, was planning to rise and gently remind the young man to keep his composure. For an exceptionally talented individual like him, a setback could an never recovering, so imdiate psychological guidance was crucial.
As for the fans in the live stream, they couldn’t bear to watch.
However, no one expected what happened next. After Lin Xu’s heartfelt declaration of love, he casually snapped his fingers. The flower bud in the pot, previously motionless, suddenly blood.
The pristine white petals unfolded, seeming to blossom directly in everyone’s hearts.
Everyone quietly watched the flower in the pot.
No one had ever imagined a dish could be so artistic.
No, this was no longer just art.
It was simply magic!
What kind of technique could make a flower bloom on command with just a snap of the fingers?
In the audience, Shen Jiayue stared blankly at Lin Xu on stage, crystal-clear tears streaming down her fair cheeks. She was utterly oblivious, her mind filled only with Lin Xu’s words, that snap of his fingers, and the blooming white flower...
All along, she had thought her Xu Bao was a man who disliked romance and lacked a sense of ceremony. But unexpectedly, at this critical mont in today’s competition, this rascal had not only spoken such loving words to her but had also put on such a spectacular performance.
I can’t live without you, Xu Bao. My heart panics if I don’t see you for even a second. In our next life, let’s still be together, okay? I’ll even sneak imported snacks from ho for you...
In the live stream, after their initial shock, the bullet chat from the fans exploded.
"Holy crap, Boss Lin is absolutely slaying it!"
"AAAAAHHH, he’s too smooth!"
"I’m literally crying my eyes out!"
"Who was it that said Boss Lin wasn’t romantic and had no sense of ceremony?"
"How does he manage to make us single folks cry from emotion while rcilessly rubbing it in our faces at the sa ti?"
"All of you who slamd your phones down, get back here quick!"
"I’d willingly choke on this level of public affection!"
"Dude, I’m a guy, and even I want to marry Boss Lin!"
"Soone take out, as an offering to Boss Lin’s triumph!"
"Another day of envying the boss’s wife!"
Beside Shen Jiayue, Chen Yan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Where on earth did her brother-in-law learn such a move? Flaunting his relationship while also wringing tears from everyone.
As she took out a tissue, she noticed Shen Baobao beside her had already dissolved into a sobbing ss. She quickly passed a tissue to her, saying, "Don’t cry, wipe your tears. If your brother-in-law sees you like this, he’ll think you’re being silly."
Shen Baobao took the tissue, clutching it in her hand. Instead of wiping her tears, she buried her face in Chen Yan’s shoulder. "Sister Yan, I regret it so much... I regret not pursuing him during college, just foolishly giving him snacks every day... BOO HOO HOO!"
Chen Yan was speechless. I understand all that. And I get that you two are excited about your public displays of affection. But what’s with wiping your snot and tears all over my clothes? BOO HOO HOO, this dress cost over ten thousand! I’m a single woman, stuck here being force-fed all this PDA, then taphorically slaughtered, and now my dress is ruined on top of it all! I... I... I... Who am I supposed to complain to?!
In the back seats, Han Shuzhen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. After worrying for so long, it turned out to be just a little romantic surprise from her son-in-law. Her daughter must be overjoyed right now.
She patted Chen ijuan beside her, who was also wiping away tears, and said, "ijuan, you’ve raised such a good son!"
"No, it’s your Yueyue who’s wonderful."
The parents from both families, initially the most worried, were now laughing through their joyful tears.
What could be more uplifting than seeing your children do so well?
Shen Guofu said to Lin Hongqi, "Old Lin, we must have a drink tonight."
"Absolutely! Our children are making us proud; we definitely need to have a few extra glasses!"
On stage, while Lin Xu was speaking, Wu Kexin kept her cara on him. She didn’t dare focus too much on the dish that seed to be a failure, fearing the online audience would connect it to her, the ’queen of disasters.’
Just as Lin Xu snapped his fingers, she aid her cara at the flower bud. She then watched, up close, the entire process of the flower blossoming.
The breathtakingly beautiful effect was deeply etched into her heart.
After the flower had fully blood, she suddenly felt an impulse to put down her live-streaming equipnt and run backstage to hug Panda.
He has his love, and I have mine! I’m not envious of their love; I just want to cherish my own.
However, for the sake of her work, she restrained this impulse. There would be plenty of ti after the live stream ended. There was no need to rush.
Gazing at the fully blood flower in the pot, Wu Kexin grew curious. How exactly had Lin Xu made the flower bloom with just a snap of his fingers?
Was there so kind of voice-activated device hidden inside? That couldn’t be it; the judges still had to taste the dish. If he had tampered with the dish by adding foreign objects, his score would surely plumt into the negatives. So, how did he do it?
She wasn’t the only one curious. Everyone present, having recovered from the initial shock, was pondering the sa question.
What kind of culinary technique could possibly achieve such an effect?
