Chapter 141: Unhappy!

There is a significant difference in the curriculum between Japanese high schools and domestic high schools.

In addition to basic subjects such as national language, mathematics, and English, Japan has offered home economics classes since elementary school, aiming to systematically cultivate students' self-care ability and family affairs management skills.

The last class of the morning is exactly the home economics class time.

Natsume Chikage left the classroom with his classmates and walked toward the special classroom for home economics on the other side of the teaching building.

The moment he stepped into the classroom, the luxurious kitchenware and professional equipment that came into view made Natsume Chikage sigh secretly—this Private Moonlight Academy is indeed worthy of the name of an aristocratic institution.

Professional stoves are neatly arranged, shiny embedded multi-functional ovens reflect the luster of the ceiling lights, and a full set of high-end brand kitchenware is hung in an orderly manner on the tool wall... everything he saw revealed an atmosphere of "expensive" and "professional".

"What a strong financial power..." he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

But on second thought, the wool eventually comes from the sheep.

The high tuition fees they pay naturally support such top-tier teaching facilities.

Before the students arrived, home economics teacher Xiao Jing Youcai had already been waiting in the classroom.

She is a young woman with a mature temperament, her face is not stunning, but she has a lot of charm, and a small beauty mole on the corner of her lips adds a bit of charm.

And the most eye-catching thing is her curvaceous figure; the graceful posture with a protruding front and a warped back made many boys turn on the "automatic aiming mode" as soon as they came in, and several couldn't help but widen their eyes, exchanging tacit glances with each other.

Xiao Jing Youcai seemed to have long been accustomed to such gazes, and smiled gently at the whole class of students:

"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Jing Youcai, and I will be your home economics teacher for the next three years."

"Today we are going to make dessert—cream puffs."

"The ingredients needed for production have been placed on the operation tables of each group in advance."

"Next, please divide yourselves into groups of three to complete this home economics class project."

The girls in the class heard this, and their gazes were like a pack of wolves discovering prey, focusing straight on Natsume Chikage.

And just before those girls were ready to act, Xiyuanji Qilai on the side spoke at the right time, suggesting happily:

"Natsume-kun, why don't you team up with me and Lingyin to complete this project?"

Xuecun Lingyin's hand movements paused, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Natsume Chikage quietly.

Natsume Chikage also felt that there was no problem with this.

In the class, the person he was most familiar with was indeed Xiyuanji Qilai.

As for Xuecun Lingyin, although she was relatively cold and hadn't communicated much, it was just a temporary cooperation to complete the project anyway.

"Of course."

"That's great!" Xiyuanji Qilai was instantly overjoyed, affectionately hugging Xuecun Lingyin's arm, "Then we will form a three-person team."

Xuecun Lingyin's cold eyes glanced at Xiyuanji Qilai, still silent.

She knew her friend's personality well, and it was useless to say anything.

And she indeed needed a group to complete the project—in a situation where she wasn't familiar with other classmates in the class, teaming up with Xiyuanji was indeed the most suitable choice.

As for who the third team member was, she actually didn't care.

Other girls in the class, after learning that Natsume Chikage had teamed up with Xiyuanji Qilai and Xuecun Lingyin, all showed annoyed expressions.

The near water tower gets the moon first—this sentence was perfectly verified at this moment.

They only hated themselves for not being assigned to Natsume Chikage's neighbor seat, otherwise, the one standing by his side now might be themselves.

Since Natsume Chikage's side had already finished teaming up, they had to settle for second best and team up with other classmates in the class.

And the boys in the class had even more complicated moods—who wouldn't want to be in the same group as the two school beauties in the class?

After seeing them team up with Natsume Chikage, they could only sigh secretly.

Careful observation would reveal that although school had only started for a few days, various small groups had naturally formed in the class.

The current group, the ordinary group, the otaku group, the random group, and the group with no one...

Those with no one could only wait for the teacher's forced assignment.

Xiao Jing Youcai saw that the students had basically finished teaming up, and began to guide the production steps of cream puffs on the podium.

The students below also followed the teacher's explanation and started operating step by step.

Natsume Chikage noticed that Xiyuanji Qilai's technique was quite skilled, her movements were smooth and elegant, and she was clearly someone who cooked often.

In contrast, Xuecun Lingyin's side appeared exceptionally clumsy—

She first tried to use a measuring cup to weigh flour, but because her hands were shaking, she spilled it everywhere.

Then when beating eggs, she used too much force, and eggshell fragments fell into the bowl.

When she was in a hurry to fish out the eggshells, she accidentally knocked over the sugar jar.

Natsume Chikage calmly supported the sugar jar in time, while complaining in his heart: Kitchen killer, when did you come?!

But Xuecun Lingyin didn't notice at all, and still continued making dessert with concentration.

What was even more laughable was that when she held the eggbeater with one hand, leaned back slightly, and carefully started the switch, because her right hand didn't hold the glass bowl at all, the eggbeater turned, and the bowl shook wildly on the table, and the mixture of egg liquid and flour almost spilled out.

When she tried to adjust her posture, the eggbeater accidentally hit the edge of the bowl, and the glass bowl slid toward the edge of the table.

Xuecun Lingyin was so shocked that she widened her eyes, her cold mask shattered instantly, and the miserable scene of the bowl breaking on the floor had already appeared in her mind.

Fortunately, Natsume Chikage had noticed it early, and caught the falling glass bowl with quick eyes and hands, avoiding a tragedy.

"Phew." Xuecun Lingyin breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Natsume Chikage, a rare trace of embarrassment and shyness appeared on her cold face, and then she looked away: "Thank you."

Saying that, she wanted to take the glass bowl and continue the process just now.

Natsume Chikage looked at her terrible actions just now, and then looked at the flour on her cheeks, and couldn't help but laugh: "There is flour on your face."

Xuecun Lingyin was stunned, turned to look at her reflection in the window, her face flushed slightly, and found that there was indeed a white smear on her right cheek, probably rubbed on when she wiped her face unconsciously just now.

Natsume Chikage handed over the tissue on the table: "Use this to wipe it off."

Xuecun Lingyin was silent for a moment, reached out and took it: "Thank you."

Xiyuanji Qilai on the side took all this into her eyes, and couldn't help but bite her lip, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

She couldn't help but come between the two and said to Xuecun Lingyin: ===== CHAPTER 142 =====
