Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

"You suddenly asked me this, and the enthusiasm I had finally built up is about to be exhausted." Yuigahama pouted and glanced at Kitano with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"How low is your motivation? Ultraman can last for three minutes."

"So what exactly do you want to say?" Yukinoshita was a little confused.

"I mean to improve efficiency." Bei Nuo turned around and pointed at the wall clock. "Take a look at the time. There's only an hour left before school is over. At most, we can only make three cookies."

"From what Yuigahama said just now, we can tell that if she takes action now, she will most likely fail. Besides, she came here to seek help because she encountered a problem, right?"

"Woo..." Yuigahama unconsciously avoided Kitano's sight, perhaps recalling the painful lesson of her previous failure.

"So I suggest that we let Yukinoshita-san demonstrate first, and then Yuigahama-san will make up for the deficiencies. This way it will be more efficient. What do you think?"

Kitano's suggestion was very reasonable, and Yukinoshita nodded in agreement.

"Then let's do as you say. Next, please observe my movements carefully, Yuigahama-san. If you have any questions, please ask them on the spot."

"I understand." Yuigahama clenched her fists and regained her energy.

The next ten minutes or so belonged entirely to Yukinoshita Yukino.

She rolled up her sleeves and cracked a few eggs skillfully, dropping the egg liquid into a large bowl, then quickly stirred them evenly. As sugar, butter, vanilla extract and other seasonings were added, a pleasant sweet aroma gradually filled the air.

The whole process shows Yukinoshita's chef style, and she will also explain the key points of each step.

Before long, she had completed the raw dough for the biscuits and used molds to press them into different shapes.

The only thing left was to bake it, so Yukinoshita asked Yuigahama:

"Is there anything you don't understand yet?"

"No, by the way, Yukinoshita-san is amazing, her cooking skills are comparable to my mother's!" Yuigahama's eyes lit up with admiration, and she looked like a fangirl.

Yukinoshita smiled and shook her head: "You are exaggerating, it's just simple cookie making."

"Hey~ It's not easy. I tried it at home and it wasn't as easy as Yukinoshita-san."

"Wait, after hearing what you said, I have to doubt whether you really understood the steps just now."

"Ah, ah, of course I understand." The uneasiness hidden in Yuigahama's tone was really easy to understand.

Bei Nuo couldn't help but complain: "You only know it with your eyes, your hands will definitely protest later."

"Aqi, you dare to question me! Let me tell you, I can do anything as long as I put my mind to it. I will definitely surprise you soon." Yuigahama was quite unconvinced.

Yukinoshita, who doesn't know the truth, still holds a glimmer of hope.

Only Beinuo knew that the so-called "surprise" had another meaning.

"Okay, pay close attention to the final baking steps as well."

Yukinoshita explained in detail the precautions of the oven, especially how to set the temperature and time. About fifteen minutes later, with a crisp sound, the fragrant cookies came out of the oven.

When the heat from the biscuits dissipated a little, Yuigahama couldn't wait to taste one.

"Mmm~! It's so delicious! It's already at the store level."

Yukinoshita smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Although it's not as great as you said, thank you for the compliment."

"Can I have a piece?" Beinuo asked.

"Well, of course."

Faced with his polite question, Yukinoshita was a little surprised, "Why don't you eat more? After all, we need to make more cookies later."

Beinuo picked up a five-pointed star-shaped biscuit and smelled the crispy fragrance before he put it into his mouth. The biscuit was not big, so he simply put the whole piece into his mouth.

I have to say that Yukinoshita performed very stably. There was nothing wrong with the taste and texture of the cookies. However, according to Beinuo's personal preference, it would be better if the sweetness of the cookies was slightly reduced.

Yukinoshita watched Bei Nuo silently from the side. She didn't care at first, but she couldn't help but ask, "How does it taste?"

Kitano looked at Yukinoshita with some surprise. He didn't expect that Yukinoshita would specifically ask him about his feelings.

But on second thought, as a high school student, Yukinoshita naturally needs recognition from others, otherwise why would she always follow her sister Haruno.

"Well, this one doesn't look appetizing, it's half-cooked, tastes very weird, and has a dry and hard texture..."

Kitano's answer was completely contrary to what Yukinoshita had expected.

Especially every time he pointed out a shortcoming, Yukinoshita's eyes would become sharper, and by the middle they were filled with actual murderous intent.

Just when Yukinoshita was about to explode, Kitano changed his tone:

"It's a pity that I didn't notice these problems... Why, Yukinoshita-san, you don't look well."

Even though Kitano's last remarks were in the category of friendly forces, Yukinoshita still wanted to bury him with honor.

"No, nothing..."

Yukinoshita almost said it through gritted teeth.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bei Nuo finally spoke his true feelings: "It's delicious. I hope I can eat it again in the future."

The calmer Kitano's tone was, the more sincerity Yukinoshita could feel, just like the inexplicable attraction it had yesterday.

"Why didn't you say that at the beginning!" Yukinoshita tried her best to hide the hesitation in her words.

"That's just imitating someone. I thought you'd already figured it out."

Bei Nuo had long planned to give Yukinoshita a taste of the feeling of being ridiculed by others, so that she would reflect on herself.

Yukinoshita calmed down a little and did notice that Kitano had deliberately imitated her just now.

How come she didn't notice?

Unable to accept her own mistake, Yukinoshita simply blamed the mistake on Kitano: "You will never be able to eat it again."

Without waiting for Kitano to ask the reason or explain, Yukinoshita put all the cookies into the plastic bag one by one.

Now, let alone the future, I can’t even touch the cookies I just made in front of me.

"Yuigahama-san, please clean up the table. I will be there to guide you later." Yukinoshita's tone was a little cold.

Yuigahama nodded quickly: "Yes, okay."

Yuigahama naturally heard the conversation between Yukinoshita and the other person just now.

Although she didn't know why Yukinoshita suddenly got angry, she was good at sensing the atmosphere, so the best solution now was for her to try her best to cooperate with Yukinoshita.

Only Beinuo was still standing there.

"Please move aside. You are blocking my way."

With Yukinoshita's "enthusiastic" reminder, Kitano began to doubt whether it was even necessary to stand here.

Fortunately, he was optimistic enough and considerately moved towards the wall.

Not causing any trouble is the greatest help, isn't it?

Although it is a bit regrettable not being able to eat the cookies, perhaps this is only temporary. After all, Yukinoshita is not really angry.

However, it was a novelty to see Yukinoshita lose her temper and break her promise.

Bei Nuo replied calmly: "Then I'll leave it to you."

This made Yukinoshita feel annoyed, as if she was seen through from the inside out.

Fortunately, Yuigahama was there and could use the commission to divert attention.

That's exactly what happened.

Rather, instructing Yuigahama in cooking made Yukinoshita pay 100% attention.

"Wait, Yuigahama-san, I'm going to let you finish this on your own, but I'm going to interrupt you. The way you sift flour here is totally wrong..."

"You have to hold the bowl down when stirring. You just made the bowl spin. Why did it look like a picture of children playing in a kindergarten..."

"No, that's not right. Don't add canned peaches. Otherwise, there will be too much water and the embryo will spoil..."

Yukinoshita looked flustered, feeling the helplessness of a parent guiding a child to do homework.

Even though Kitano was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Yuigahama's "powerful" cooking skills.

After finally baking the raw dough, what came out of the oven was all slightly black charcoal.

Even if Yukinoshita takes the lead, it still won't change anything.

Yukinoshita's hands and cheeks were covered with flour and seasoning, as if she had just returned from the battlefield.

At this time, she was lying on the table, looking very tired.

Clearly a losing battle.
