Huang Shenghao vs Tian Lingyu: A Person to Surpass (1)

As time passed by, some participants had been sweating profusely and had to step back to wipe it. The three-hour allotted time was pushing them to the limit. The plating of the dishes only started in the last ten minutes. 

In the end—when the time ran out and a loud ringing sound filled the arena, Huo Meili's announcement officially ended the cooking process. Huang Shenghao gave Yan Chen a high-five and bumped shoulders with him while Tian Lingyu silently thanked Ye Xieren for his cooperation.

Ye Xieren heaved a sigh and looked towards the judges who were making their way to the kitchen counters. When his gaze met with Lu Xinyi's, she smiled slightly at him; even if they were so far away, he was able to face her confidently this time. 

The dishes he made today, would she think it was interesting and passable to her sensitive palate? He thought. 

It's a pity, the judges started with Huang Shenghao and Yan Chen's full course.
