Chapter 52

Ning Yi, though he couldn’t hear from the kitchen what the two beautiful women were whispering about, could tell from their constant glances with their bright eyes that they were most likely talking about him.

Well, although Ning Yi also had a curiosity to know what they were talking about, his hearing wasn’t that good, and it wasn’t practical to get closer, especially since Li Jiawei was a quasi-warrior at the third level of Qi cultivation, with much better hearing than ordinary people.

So Ning Yi could only focus on cooking.

Ning Yi was quite skilled at cooking. In his previous life, he was a loner, so he had started cooking for himself since he was a teenager, naturally becoming quite good at it.

In no time, he had prepared a dish of stir-fried beef with shiitake mushrooms, a dish of scrambled eggs with green onions, and a dish of stir-fried shredded pork with shredded potatoes. He also made a fresh corn juice as a drink and steamed the rice during the breaks.

It took less than an hour.

Before Ning Yi could call them to start, Gu Ying came out first, her fair hand gently waving, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm... it smells so good!"

Then, seeing the three dishes on the table that were beautifully colored and fragrant, she bit her red lips and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

The stir-fried beef with shiitake mushrooms, the tender beef was red and shiny, the dark soy sauce color slightly permeating, and a wisp of fragrance still lingered on the dish.

The scrambled eggs with green onions, the colors were bright, the green onions and eggs were evenly distributed, crispy and fragrant, making one want to swallow the whole thing.

Even the stir-fried shredded pork with shredded potatoes, just by looking at the cutting of the meat and potatoes, Gu Ying knew this dish wouldn’t be bad either.

What a find!

"I’ll try it first!" She didn’t even bother to call Li Jiawei, directly took the bowl and chopsticks Ning Yi had placed aside, and sampled a little of each dish. She then gave Ning Yi a thumbs up, "Tsk tsk, not bad... very good, much better than those chefs... Weiwei, hurry up, or I won’t leave any for you."

Hearing this, Li Jiawei quickly ran over. Seeing that Ning Yi had prepared a set of bowls and chopsticks for her, which had been scalded with boiling water, her face couldn’t help but turn slightly red. This guy was quite thoughtful.

After tasting, she also gave a thumbs up, "Tsk tsk, really good."

"Ning Yi, when did you learn to cook, and how did you get so good?" Gu Ying asked, still savoring the taste after finishing a bowl of rice.

"Uh... I’m not quite sure, maybe it’s just a habit from living alone," Ning Yi said with a smile.

"I thought these ingredients would be wasted, but I didn’t expect you to make them so well. Well, you, you should just go to a culinary school after university."

"Culinary school?" Ning Yi was taken aback, "Is there such a school?"

Gu Ying smiled without speaking, and Li Jiawei continued, "There isn’t a culinary school, but there is a college that evaluates cooking skills... By the way, Ning Yi, you haven’t said yet, what major do you plan to study if you get into university?"

Ning Yi tilted his head. He really hadn’t thought about it. In his previous life, he had dual master’s degrees in economics and management and computer science. If he were to study these majors again in this world, it would be too ridiculous, so he naturally ruled them out.

The remaining option that attracted him was the martial cultivation college, as his main goal was to quickly improve his strength.

The most famous martial cultivation college in China was the Tianyuan Martial Cultivation College of Jinghua University in Beijing, founded by the Lin family, the first aristocratic family in China, and currently jointly enrolled with Jinghua University.

The second was the Xiuyuan Martial Cultivation College, affiliated with the National Yanjing University, with the Zhong family involved.

These two colleges were the most sought-after by martial cultivation students, but the entry requirements were extremely high. Besides needing to reach the fourth level of Qi cultivation, one also needed to score above the first-tier university line in the college entrance exam, and pass an interview to assess the applicant’s future potential. The difficulty of getting in was evident.

The remaining martial cultivation colleges included the Chunye College of the Mu family in the Songjiang region and the Xiaolong College of Songjiang University.

However, these famous martial cultivation colleges, besides having extremely high entry requirements, were all far from the Haixi region, so they were not within Ning Yi’s selection range.

After all, the Feng Ying family was located in the Haixi region, and since he had promised Feng Yingkong, he couldn’t be too far from the Feng Ying family.

Therefore, the best choice was undoubtedly Nanling University.

Nanling University was also a first-tier university, and it was located in the Haixi region, right next to the Feng Ying family’s base, the Blue River Estate.

Nanling University also had a martial cultivation college called Phoenix College, which was the first martial cultivation college in all of China, founded by Grandpa Feng Yingkong. It had once soared to great heights, but it never expanded, so it had long since declined. Now, Phoenix College had become a mixed martial cultivation college, not just a martial cultivation class.

This college was naturally Ning Yi’s top choice.

However, getting in wasn’t easy. First, one still needed to pass the first-tier university line, as Nanling University was a prestigious university. Although Phoenix College had declined, it was still the only martial cultivation college in the Haixi region.

For the Haixi region, which produced over two million high school graduates each year, with at least three thousand martial cultivation students, the appeal of this college was still strong.

Now that Li Jiawei had mentioned it, although Ning Yi had some confidence, everything was still uncertain. He could only smile bitterly and say, "I haven’t thought that much yet. Right now, the focus is on whether I can even take the college entrance exam."

"Don’t worry, with Teacher Gu’s help, there’s no problem."

Gu Ying, while finishing the last piece of beef, also said confidently, "For this meal, I’ll guarantee it with my head... just focus on preparing for your exam."

"Hehe, then I’ll trouble you, Teacher." Ning Yi raised his chopsticks, but was immediately stunned. The table was left with only three empty plates... Hey! Do you have any humanity? I haven’t even had a bite!

Ning Yi could only take the two remaining eggs from Gu Ying’s fridge and fry them, then hastily ate them with the rice.

After lunch, Gu Ying helped Ning Yi prepare the materials. Hearing that Li Jiawei said Ning Yi would help her with her oral practice, she laughed and said, "No need to go to the reading room, just come to my study. Besides, I’m alone, and it’s nice to have some company."

"That’s true." Li Jiawei looked at Ning Yi, "Is that okay with you?"

Ning Yi shrugged, "It’s the same for me wherever I go, the key is..." Ning Yi, seeing that Gu Ying wasn’t paying attention, made a gesture of counting money.

Li Jiawei kicked him, and Ning Yi skillfully dodged, almost kicking Gu Ying’s firm, snowy buttocks.

She could only raise her delicate fist helplessly, "Just wait."

"For what?" Gu Ying turned back, puzzled.

"Nothing... Ning Yi said he’ll wash the dishes... Teacher, you don’t need to worry about it," Li Jiawei said with a smile.

"That’s too much trouble." Gu Ying’s fair, delicate face turned slightly red, "I’ll do it."

Ning Yi looked at her white, tender fingers, then at her shiny nail polish... As for Li Jiawei, a cleanliness freak, he didn’t expect much, so he said, "Teacher, let me do it."

Gu Ying, seeing Ning Yi look at her nails, knew she had been caught, and her face turned red involuntarily.

Li Jiawei teased, "Ning Yi, behave well. Teacher Gu has two empty rooms. Since you have nowhere to stay, if you’re willing to cook and wash dishes every day... I’ll discuss it with Teacher Gu, and you can stay in one of the rooms. You won’t have to fight with those people all the time."

The speaker was casual, but the listener was intent. Gu Ying, hearing this, raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning Yi, "Ning Yi, is what Weiwei said true? Do you often fight in school? How can you study properly like that? Well, I do have two empty rooms. You can move in temporarily to focus on your studies and prepare for the college entrance exam. You can move out after the exam is over."
