Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Single Dogs Can’t Catch a Break

Zhao Dingli straightforwardly bought various flavored milks.

Fruity, chocolate-flavored.

As long as Li Xiaoyun likes to drink them, that’s enough.

"Okay." Li Xiaoyun nodded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, on the first day after marriage, Zhao Dingli still prepared breakfast.

Zhao Dingli brought over the breakfast, sat down, and only then asked, "I didn’t get a chance to ask you earlier."

Li Xiaoyun, eating a fried egg, looked at Zhao Dingli, "What’s up?"

Zhao Dingli raised his hand to touch his nose and asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Li Xiaoyun originally felt nothing, but being asked by Zhao Dingli, suddenly felt reminded.

There was a feeling of discomfort everywhere.

"I’m fine." Li Xiaoyun feared Zhao Dingli might ask more, "Don’t ask me anything else."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Zhao Dingli immediately became obedient and didn’t dare ask anything further in that aspect.

The Huaguo team selection for the International Cooking Competition at Changping Academy, the main venue, has also started.

The preliminary selections had already been completed earlier.

Now, what’s being selected is the final team.

Changping Academy specifically cleared out the large stadium and divided it into six areas: A, B, C, D, E, and F.

contestants who passed the preliminaries drew lots to decide into which of the five groups, A, B, C, D, or E, they would compete.

No longer rotating and repeatedly competing.

If you’re unlucky, and the group you draw has many strong contestants, then you can only blame your bad luck.

The contestants such as Ye Fei who participated in the cooking competition and ranked in the top ten have the first-place winner, Tian Pengpo, directly obtaining a team member spot.

Although the other nine do not have direct entry spots.

They can skip the group selection and enter directly into the finals.

In the end, from the five participating areas, each area has 20 contestants, and the top three contestants are determined.

Eventually, 15 remain.

These 15, plus the 9 contestants from Changping Competition ranked 2nd to 10th including Ye Fei and others.

Altogether 24 people, theoretically representing the Huaguo Team.

However, from these 24, 4 must be selected as reserve team members for the expedition team.

In case someone in the expedition team is injured and lacks a contestant.

Reserve members can fill in at any time.

Although the strength might be somewhat reduced, it minimizes the losses at least.

From the 20 remaining, 9 selected for the expedition team to join with Tian Pengpo, forming the official international competition team.

The remaining 11 stay at Changping Academy as part of the Defending Team.

Changping Academy is an arena point for Hua Country in the International Cooking Competition.

Contestants from all nations will come directly to Changping Academy for challenges.

These 11 naturally don’t all go on stage.

But the pressure on the Defending Team is less than that of the expedition team, allowing these 11 to gain more opportunities for training.

They can even take turns going on stage to try and experience various different challenges they haven’t faced before.

Compared to the expedition team, the Defending Team is more like a learning squad.

This total of 24 people still needs to compete and rank.

Let the teachers have a clear understanding of the strength of these 24 people.

So they can reasonably assign them to either the Defending Team, expedition team, or as reserve members.

Ye Fei and the others, without needing to participate in the selection, had quite a relaxed mood.

Changping Academy was also already on holiday, with space opened specifically for the selections.

However, the students haven’t gone home.

It’s a rare opportunity, even if they couldn’t advance, they’d stay to watch the competition.

Because of being divided into five regions for separate competitions, each region has different tasks, naturally, you can’t just sit directly in the stands to watch.

Being too far away, it’s really hard to see anything.

Therefore, Changping Academy allows students to watch directly around the competition area.

Anyway, there aren’t many students.

The stadium is large enough for them to stroll around.

At this time, Ye Fei was also wandering around the competition area with Shang Heyue and the others.

The competition areas have been divided and fenced off.

So even though they could watch closely, they wouldn’t disturb the contestants.

"Have you decided to stay in the Defending Team?" Zhou Junhao asked Ye Fei.

They share Zhao Gushen’s view that, based on her strength, entering the expedition team is assured as long as Ye Fei desires.

"Yes, I think the Defending Team is quite good." Ye Fei said, "And I can stay here. If I really go to compete with the team across the country, Gu Shen and Xiao Mo definitely can’t follow me. It’s too much traveling. And during the competition, I won’t be able to take care of them."

"This way, being separated for too long, I’d be worried," Ye Fei said.

She hadn’t told Zhao Gushen that another reason she didn’t want to go with the team was because she couldn’t bear to leave Zhao Gushen and Xiao Mo.

"Are you worried your husband will mess around behind your back?" Ba Zhekai joked.

Ye Fei worried too much.

With Zhao Gushen’s appearance of being devoted to his wife, it seems like if Ye Fei does go abroad for competitions.

No matter where Ye Fei goes, Zhao Gushen would fly there to stay with her.

"Of course not, I do trust him, right?" Ye Fei said, "It’s just about not wanting to leave, being apart would make me miss him."

Seeing how difficult it was for them to empathize.

Even Tian Pengpo and the other males rubbed their arms, finding it cheesy.

Ye Fei laughed, "You single dogs can’t understand my feelings."

Yu Yingyan: "What’s with the sudden personal attack amid such good conversation?"

Ye Fei laughed and said, "Anyway, wait till you have someone you like, you’ll understand this feeling. Not wanting to leave them."

"I could actually go out to compete, Gu Shen would surely follow me wherever I go. But his work is so busy, having him fly around with me consumes his time," Ye Fei shook her head, "I can’t bear having him go through such hardships.

Apart from Ye Fei, everyone else collectively wrapped up this conversation harmoniously.

Single dogs can’t catch a break!

People say marriage is a city, a grave.

Especially with a recent marriage, there’d be many conflicts.

You stick to it not because of smooth adjustments, but because you are too lazy to bother with the conflicts.

Deciding to draw a line between issues.

Why is it so different with Ye Fei?

People get married, and it’s like walking into a romance drama.

Even Hua Ciyue and the others envy it.

They don’t expect their future husband to be as handsome as Zhao Gushen.

No need to be rich either.

Just being nice to them is enough.

Such a simple request.

As long as they can find someone like that, they’re satisfied.

***

Because the five regions are simultaneously competing, today, 15 contestants were decided.

Changping Academy didn’t specially create a stage for these 15 contestants to show off.
