My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 588 - 198 Returning Elated_3

"Indeed, and luckily my class involves a lot of hands-on work by the participants, so I have plenty of opportunities to sit down, not as strenuous as what you guys are doing." Du Xixi nodded, then began to sum up her situation, "Today I taught everyone how to make pastries. It started out quite normally, but when it came to shaping the pastries, things took a turn. Everyone used their own specialties to shape them, and after they were done, each one was more exquisite than the last. No one could bear to steam them, so they just took them home."

Du Xixi shook her head a bit helplessly: "I feel like I wasn’t leading a culinary experience, but rather giving everyone a chance to showcase their talents—Military Department shaped weapons, Arts Department shaped famous paintings, and Architecture Department brought us a model for the Food Department..."

Listening to Du Xixi, everyone burst out laughing, all crowding together in amusement. After all, Du Xixi’s classroom was on the third floor, and seeing people carrying these "pastry artworks" of all sizes downstairs had been quite a hilarious sight. Hearing Du Xixi, the person involved, recount it now made it even funnier.

Du Xixi gave them a playful glare, then patted He Yuan’s hand next to her and asked, "Where did you and Chen Si go exploring? How capable are they?"

Since He Yuan and Chen Si were responsible for decorating the Food Department and leaving a great sensory impression on visitors, once they finished decorating, they were free to enjoy the day at the campus Arts Festival with the two strolling around hand in hand.

Du Xixi and her two companions were tasked with summarizing the day’s strengths and weaknesses, while He Yuan and Chen Si were responsible for reporting back on the capabilities of other departments, so they could gauge how their Food Department measured up across the campus.

"In the morning, we went to the Ancient History Department and the Military Department. These two are close by, so we could go from one to the other easily." He Yuan held Du Xixi with one hand and Chen Si with the other, smiling brightly, clearly having had a great day, "The former had a strong historical vibe, taking us through significant events of the past thousand years with holographic equipment. They even showed us some artifacts brought back from Blue Star. The latter was a bit rough, making us run a couple of laps right away, followed by live combat demonstrations, one-on-one on stage, which was dizzyingly spectacular to watch!"

"Hmph! ’Dizzyingly spectacular’, right!" Chen Si said, a bit dissatisfied, pointing at her starry-eyed face, "I wonder who it was, unable to walk because the professor from the Military Department was so handsome."

The jealousy in Chen Si’s tone was quite evident, as Du Xixi and her friends exchanged knowing glances at the couple, causing He Yuan to blush completely. She stammered, trying to explain, but finally bit her lip under Chen Si’s mischievous gaze and admitted, "Who doesn’t like a handsome and capable military guy? I always wanted to date a soldier, but somehow, I fell for you first..."

As she spoke, He Yuan’s voice gradually lowered because she couldn’t quite tell whether Chen Si was pleased or annoyed. Panicking, she directly asked Du Xixi, who was watching the fun unfold, "Xixi, you are married to Marshal Ke Lian, surely you understand me!"

Du Xixi was taken aback, not expecting the topic to turn to her, but after thinking it over carefully, she earnestly said, "Military men are indeed handsome, especially my Ke Lian, who’s cold to others but gentle with me."

An expression of warmth spread across Du Xixi’s face as she spoke, and everyone watching her deeply affectionate smile felt like they’d been force-fed a hefty dose of puppy love, especially He Yuan, who was the one asking. Her expression turned quite complex.

She buried herself in Chen Si’s arms, patting her heart soothingly: "It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have fantasized about a military guy. My Chen Si is the best."

He Yuan was just trying to steer the conversation away, and regardless of Du Xixi’s answer, she could have smoothly shifted topics. However, it turned out Du Xixi was also a "show-off" when it came to affection, following He Yuan and Chen Si’s display with one of her own.

Though Ke Lian wasn’t present, Du Xixi’s heartfelt description was enough for everyone to taste the flavor of romance.

As a single person, Wenren Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable at this point. He coughed and asked He Yuan and Chen Si, "You went to the Ancient History Department and Military Department in the morning, so where did you go in the afternoon?"

The topic finally shifted, returning to its intended track. Chen Si, holding He Yuan, smiled and said, "We only went to the Arts Department in the afternoon, where they had a painting experience taught by several professors from the Arts Department.

When painting, time always seems to fly by, so He Yuan and Chen Si spent the entire afternoon in the Arts Department. This wasn’t much of a problem, as the Food Department was interested in learning about other departments’ strengths but didn’t require He Yuan and Chen Si to tour the entire campus over these few days.

Wenren Yu nodded, saying to everyone, "Today was overall quite good. We can adjust specific details as needed. There’s no need for too much pressure, just do what we need to do well."

The Food Department had a four-word motto for this event—Focus! On! Participation! They weren’t competing or fighting for anything. By doing what they were supposed to do and ensuring that every visitor to the Food Department had a wonderful experience, they would be satisfied.

On the second day, Du Xixi and her colleagues indeed followed the motto "Focus on Participation", just as they had the day before, diligently leading everyone in experiencing the Food Department. However, He Yuan and Chen Si stayed to help this time.
