Chapter 170: Chef Liu’s Worries

Chapter 170

The news shocked those who had previously been eager to idolize Qi Yuan.

The entertainment industry is indeed hard to navigate!

After working hard for so many years, he didn’t succeed in the end.

Seeing him, who had been a trainee for so many years, fail as soon as he made his debut, many people felt a sense of shared sorrow.

Netizens, with these thoughts in mind, looked at Qi Yuan teaching children to dance with complicated feelings.

After a period of silence, there was a comment — typed, deleted, and retyped — that said, "Actually, he is quite good at Starry Sky Kindergarten.”

This simple reply was upvoted more than 3,000 times.

...

Qi Yuan, hitting the trending news frequently, became somewhat uncomfortable in the kindergarten. He was always cautious in his interactions with his colleagues.

Afraid of their questions.

He really liked the job.

The children were truly healing. Being with them makes him very happy.

He understood why Chef Liu gave up so many high-paying jobs to come to Starry Sky Kindergarten.

Ever since Starry Sky Kindergarten became popular, all of his colleagues have been poached by competitors.

Especially, the art teachers, who were being offered extremely high salaries by various institutions.

But no one has left Starry Sky Kindergarten.

Qi Yuan grooved to the strong beat of pop music over and over again. The fast tempo coupled with the strong drumbeat allowed him to let go of everything.

He danced tirelessly, until his back was soaked with sweat by the fifth time.

Sweat flowed down from his forehead, some getting into his eyes, causing a stinging pain.

But he was not satisfied. He wanted to keep dancing. Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.

He paused before speaking up: "Come in.”

To his surprise, the visitor was Wu Feng, the classical dance teacher.

Wu Feng and he shared a large dance studio.

They had different class schedules, and so normally they didn’t clash.

Although they were dancers from different domains, they were both at the pinnacle of their respective domains.

Wu Feng was exceptional.

Every movement, from his hair to his fingertips, looked stunning.

You could genuinely feel as if an orchid was blooming in his hand.

Even when he danced routines meant for female dancers, it did not come off as effeminate.

Instead, he carried a dignified elegance. Wu Feng could astonish everyone every time he danced.

Qi Yuan and Wu Feng shared a studio, but they maintained a courteous but distant relationship.

Seeing him come in this time, Qi Yuan was taken aback before saying, "If I am bothering you, I’ll leave right away!”

Then, he began to gather his towel and dance clothes.

The ingredients were stir-fried by Chef Liu himself.

The dish had a high online demand and made from homegrown veggies.

It was delicious.

There were also other dishes like fish-flavored pork shreds, braised eggplant, all perfect companions for rice,

Accompanied by tender and smooth steamed egg pudding.

Eating it was an absolute delight, especially the potato stewed with beef brisket, with soft potatoes and flavorsome beef.

Add some rice, a side of crunchy pickles, and it was downright indulgence.

Doctor Lu was a handsome heartthrob once.

Since joining Starry Sky Kindergarten, he had gradually put on weight.

The photos from a year ago compared to now sent shivers down their spine.

Afterward, they slowed down their eating pace.

Both of them were dancers.

They needed to maintain their body weight and figure.

This made every canteen visit a massive test.

Wu Feng got some green veggies.

And Qi Yuan barely got half bowl of rice.

Chef Liu, who was an expert in fattening up folks, was not pleased upon seeing their tiny meal portions.

"How could you eat so little!" he exclaimed while serving each of them a large spoonful of rice. "This is a must-try, it is very delicious!"

The rice was specially grown in the northern part of the country and incredibly sweet. It was topped off with a thick sauce.

The two of them didn't want to eat, but they couldn't resist the instinct of life.

However, they couldn't help but finish these dishes.

After finishing, they both felt somewhat guilty because they usually maintain their weight.

Eating a mouthful more felt like they were doing something they weren't supposed to.

"I'm planning to run 5 kilometers later."

Wu Feng said, "Let's go together."

He has already gained 5 kilograms, only his base weight is too small, so it is not noticeable yet.

But he was already vigilant. If he keeps gaining weight like this, he will inevitably become like Doctor Lu.

In the afternoon, when everyone was resting, only they can be seen running round and round on the playground.

Chef Liu, seeing this, was heartbroken.

They are already thin, and yet they also have more work to do.

This is really serious.

They will have to give them some extra food at night, he decided. After making up his mind, he made an effort to enhance the dinner. If these kids didn't eat, it wouldn't be good!

His colleagues, stressing him out as it is.
