The guest was clearly in heaven, shouting toward the kitchen, “Madam, can you stir–fry another plate of that asparagus for me? It’s amazing! I’ve never tasted anything like this before! It’s true delicacy
The camera swung to the other judges, who all pointed to the bacon stir–fried asparagus.
Callie exchanged a guilty glance with Cameron and whispered,The comments say the shredded asparagus is made by the madam. If we praise this dish, will Ms. Fulbright get upset?”
Cameron took a bite, and a familiar flavor exploded on his taste buds. He smiled but didn’t reply.
At that moment, the bacon stir–fried asparagus had wowed all five tables of guests–completely overshadowing the competition.
The live stream erupted with excitement, and the buzz about heading to Yvale for shredded asparagus to the top of trending topics. The chatroom was buzzing again.
[Accept it and admit defeat! Who said CrimsonSnow won? Change the names now!]
[This is a slap in the face for those ignorant pretty faces!]
[I knew this would happen from the start; no surprise here.]
[Overconfident much? Feeling embarrassed now? CrimsonSnow!]
The negative comments grew louder, but Yanina’s true fans couldn’t find the words to defend her yet.
“Bacon stir–fried asparagus won unanimously; now it’s time to unveil the mystery, came Yetta’s clear voice. “Let’s see how these two chefs measure up.”
The camera cut back twenty minutes earlier. Yanina rolled up her sleeves, carefully washed her hands, then grabbed the asparagus, and started to expertly prep it.
A bit further back, Mia was busy handling asparagus, too. But soon, the viewers couldn’t stay calm..
Yanina shredded the asparagus with delicate hands that seemed to perform magic. She worked with a large kitchen knife, producing thin, transparent, long shreds that amazed everyone watching.
[Wow! Look at that knife skills! That shredded asparagus is from CrimsonSnow!]
II can’t believe it! She can paint and cook? I want to marry her!]
[I love CrimsonSnow!]
[She’s so talented! I’m in awe!]
[I thought I was going to lose today, but CrimsonSnow always surprises me!]
[Who was just saying we should change our names? Our CrimsonSnow is the real deal! Hurry up, and accept your loss!!
As the replay continued, viewers marveled at how quickly Yanina shredded through the asparagus. Sure, Mia was fast, but she couldn’t compete with Yanina’s skill.
Yanina decisively proved what a complete defeat looked like. Callie clenched her list in frustration.
Cameron smiled — it was clear to him. After a year of Yanina cooking for him, he knew she would win from the start.

“What’s wrong? Not feeling well?” he asked, noticing Callie’s shift in mood.
Callie quickly looked down, hiding the hatred in her eyes. “It’s just a little suffocating. Ms. Fulbright is really impressive, Cam. I guess I’m just not lucky enough to be with you for a lifetime, but she can be. She’s a great girl.”
“Mmm” Cameron mumbled, her voice lost in the noise of the crowd.
Callie heard it clearly, however! ‘Yanina is such a witch! They’re divorced and Cam still cares for her!‘ she thought and gritted her teeth as she glared at Yanina on the screen, her eyes filled with resentment,
In the live stream, Yanina picked up a rasher of bacon and shook her head gently. “This bacon isn’t great. When We make dish at home, we should try other bacon instead.
Then she went back to slicing, her elegant hands showcasing stunning knife skills.
The viewers were in awe. They’d seen delicious fried dishes, but never one that looked this beautiful. It was like a fairy fro the sky, bringing a touch of elegance to the hustle of the kitchen
[I’m the head chef of a three–star Michelin restaurant in Yvale. This dish perfectly captures how the Zepyrians define freshness. CrimsonSnow, please come work at my restaurant.]
[Wow, CrimsonSnow, you’re my idol! Forever!]
[Please marry me, CrimsonSnow. I’ll be your loyal pet for life.]
(@LoneWolf, quit hiding! You were the one saying we should change our names. Now that you lost, change yours quickly get lost!]
The true fans rallied, turning the tables and fiercely defending their idol against the haters.
At that moment, the camera cut back to Yanina and Mia.
Mia sat slumped in her chair, looking lost. She had hoped to use this chance to make a name for herself in Yvale, but instead, she ended up failing miserably. It felt like she had jumped into her own trap.
She was completely defeated by Yanina. The live stream was still running, and now hundreds of thousands of viewers knew her cooking skills weren’t up to par.
It made her wonder if her stall’s future was even stable anymore, just thinking about it made her want to slap herself. Yanina, on the other hand, was calm. For her, this was just a simple dish she could whip up at home.
“Madam,” she said, “if you’d like, I can share the recipe for this dish with you.”
“Really?!” Mia perked up, quickly standing from her chair. She realized Yanina was trying to help her recover from this seback. If she learned this dish and rode on CrimsonSnow’s fame, she could turn things around.
“Thank you so much! I’m sorry for how I acted earlier; I can be a bit rough around the edges, Mia said, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she apologized to Yanina.
“Your dishes taste great too; it’s just that everyone has different tastes,” Yanina replied with a smile.
I got lucky today,” Yanina added, downplaying her victory.
The viewers in the live stream were even more impressed by Yanina’s demeanor. She was strong but humble, never putting others down. To them, she truly embodied the idea of the “fairy

“Let’s go talk to Ms. Fulbright, Callie suggested, glancing at the crowd before cautiously looking at Cameron.
“Sure.” Cameron replied with a nod
C
Callie was taken aback; she hadn’t expected him to agree so easily. But she quickly regained her composure and took his arm. But Cameron gently pulled away, avoiding the gesture.
Once they reached the kitchen, they found that Yanina had already left. Mia looked up at them, smiling warmly. “Didn’t y have enough of the tasting earlier?
“I watched every step of CrimsonSnow’s method. I’m certain I can replicate it exactly. I can get you another plate. Just giv
me a moment.”
“No, thanks.” Cameron said, his gaze lingering on the spot where Yanina had stood just moments before. He turned to Cal and said. Tl take you back to the nursing home.”
Callie felt a pang of frustration. Every time they were out together, he’d always take her back. He never wanted to get any closer to her.
No, she thought, ‘I can’t wait around any longer!”
