Fighting for the Second Place

Her alabaster skin was flushed red from the heat and cooking she had done. Lu Xinyi eyed at the four porcelain bowls that held her dish. She wiped her sweat with a clean towel and finally noticed the other participants that were in panic around her. Fortunately for her, the fried rice she chose to cook today wasn't as complex as the other chose to do. She wasn't sure though if it was enough for her to pass the first round of the exam.

Out of the five sponsored students, Lu Xinyi was the last one to present her dish to the judges. The scores that the Tang twins garnered from their fried rice were spectacular. They both got the 4.8 and 4.6 scores, securing their rankings for the first round. Liu family's Yan Chen and Meng Jiao were tied at 4.5.

"I knew it. I told you the Li family had the advantage to win this year!" Someone commented on the crowd.

"What's happening to the Liu family? Are they giving up their spot to the newcomers?"
