My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 616 - 208 Victory
"Victory Cake? I know! I saw Professor Du’s livestream video when I went back to the dorm yesterday! Is it that pink and pretty cake with a super good meaning?" a female student exclaimed excitedly.
The female student happened to be sitting across from He Yuan. Although she wasn’t the closest to He Yuan, she had the most intense reaction: "That’s great, I was just wondering when I’d get a chance to make it myself! Dreams come true so fast, I’m so happy~"
"Not only can you make it yourself, but Professor Du will also personally teach you!" He Yuan wasn’t a strict teacher and was more accustomed to mingling with the students in class. This teaching method was actually quite common in the Food Department, but what she was discussing at the moment was very important, so she gradually became serious. "This time, we’re making Victory Cakes for the heroes on the front line, so I hope everyone will take it seriously this afternoon, not let this mission down, and bring glory to our Food Department, while also sending blessings to the soldiers."
"Yes!"
"Don’t worry, Professor! We guarantee to complete the mission!"
"..."
The students who were able to enter Blue Star University evidently had their morals in check. At this moment, they were not only happy about making the Victory Cakes, but also excited about being able to send blessings to the soldiers. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Since there was no formal content for this class, seeing that everyone couldn’t contain their excitement and wanted to chat with each other, He Yuan waved her hand and let everyone chat freely. They gathered in small groups, and the varying discussions filled the classroom with a kind of lively buzz that was amusing to hear.
He Yuan smiled, though not too noticeably, as she sat in her seat. To be honest, this task was quite exciting. Even though it wouldn’t be publicized, only known to themselves, she was quite willing to do something that could contribute.

While He Yuan’s class was bustling, Du Xixi was hastily making her way to her office, remembering the "little appointment" she had just arranged with Lin You through mutual understanding.
The office door was opened by the Mecha soldier standing in front of Du Xixi, and sure enough, as soon as she looked up, she saw Lin You sitting elegantly on the sofa. She was someone who didn’t stand on ceremony. After getting acquainted with Du Xixi, she was now quite at ease pouring herself tea and starting to drink.
"You’re here? I have quite a bit to discuss with you." Lin You gestured to Du Xixi, and in Xixi’s office, she truly felt more relaxed than she did outside.
The Mecha soldier would help close the door, so seeing Lin You gesture at her, Du Xixi quickly went over, sat down next to her, and asked, "What’s up? What do you need to tell me?"
If it were something related to the Food Department, Lin You would have mentioned it during the meeting earlier. But since she only arranged to talk with Du Xixi privately, it was evidently unrelated to the Food Department, concerning only Du Xixi personally.
Although Du Xixi didn’t know what it was about, her intuition told her that it probably wasn’t something bad. Her heartbeat was steady and regular at this moment, with no trace of anxiety or worry, only a sense of expectancy as she looked toward Lin You, waiting for her response.
"It’s about the making of the Victory Cake this time, but it’s only related to you, which is why I didn’t clarify earlier." Lin You took a sip of tea and then placed the cup on the tea table. "The Military Department approached our Food Department because your livestream touched them. They think this is a great promotional method, so they hope that once the Victory Cakes are sent to the front line, you can be the one to reveal it to everyone."
"Me? Wouldn’t it have a better impact if it were revealed by the Military Department?" Du Xixi could understand the Military’s intention to disclose the news, to encourage the public to pay more attention to the soldiers themselves, and offer them the most sincere blessings rather than merely focusing on the outcomes of battles.
But such an intention is undoubtedly better executed by the Military Department. Du Xixi was only a professor, at best, a half-hearted streamer. Would it really be effective for her to reveal it?
Lin You shook her head, indicating she wasn’t clear either: "I don’t quite understand their reasoning either. They said that you, as Ke Lian’s wife, would make people more empathetic by revealing it, but I think there must be more to it than just that."
Lin You had been in her position for a long time, able to gauge the depth of matters without overthinking them. This situation with Du Xixi was just like that. She felt instinctively that it wasn’t just due to the reason given by the Military. Having Du Xixi be this ’spokesperson’—she didn’t know what they really wanted to accomplish.
