Chapter 834: Chapter 591: Then What’s the Point of Having You as Deputy Director?

After seeing off these parents, a thought sprouted in Yang Yuxi’s mind to head to the kitchen.

So, she found a suitable moment and smiled at Xie Jianing and Wang Wenxia, saying, "Miss Xie, Teacher Wang, I have some personal matters to handle. I’ll leave this to you for now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenxia immediately caught on and cleverly chimed in, "Miss Yang, please wait a moment, I have something to handle outside too. How about we go together..."

"Hmm?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Yang Yuxi’s face, but she quickly caught the subtle look Wang Wenxia was sending her way, understanding instantly the other’s true intention - she was also headed for the kitchen.

However...

She estimated the other might have misunderstood.

Yang’s main goal was to go to the kitchen to find Huang Jun, while the other was probably aiming for the soup dumplings, right?

No matter, since the other suggested they go together, out of politeness, she should agree.

She nodded and said, "Oh, okay, then let’s go together..."

With that, the two left the classroom gracefully, leaving Xie Jianing a little bewildered alone in the classroom.

What’s going on?

Why is it that suddenly everyone has something to handle?

As the saying goes, "There’s always a reason when something unusual happens!"

Hmm?

Could they really be heading to the kitchen to sneak some dumplings?

Once this thought emerged, it wouldn’t leave her mind.

After all, sharing a bowl of soup dumplings among three people indeed felt somewhat insufficient.

Actually, Xie Jianing also felt tempted, wanting to taste a few more of those delicious dumplings.

But someone needed to stay in the classroom to attend to parents dropping off bedding at any time.

Reluctantly...

She could only comfort herself: save room for a more delicious lunch later!

Meanwhile, she quietly drew a little circle at the bottom of her heart for Yang Yuxi and Wang Wenxia, secretly complaining: "Sneaking off to eat alone, don’t your consciences hurt? Isn’t this the kind of thing that flips the boat of friendship?"

At this moment, she seemed to completely forget her previous shameful act of "sneaking bites before and lying to Yang Yuxi and the others to get a share from them..."

Some people, indeed, are just double standards!

Unaware, Yang Yuxi and Wang Wenxia exchanged a knowing glance in an unnoticed corner before hurriedly heading towards the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen...

Wang Wenxia immediately called out to the busy Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, are there any dumplings left?"

Aunt Li responded with a smile, "Yes! Chef Huang just cooked another batch, do you want to have a bowl?"

Wang Wenxia’s face lit up with delight, "Sure, give me a bowl, no, two bowls..."

Then she turned to Yang Yuxi, who was looking around aimlessly, saying, "Miss Yang, come on, there are dumplings left, let’s go get some!"

"Ah... Actually, I’m not..."

Yang Yuxi initially wanted to explain that she wasn’t there for the dumplings, but to find Huang Jun.

But watching her colleagues enjoy themselves, and the aroma in the air made her swallow involuntarily.

Moreover, noticing Huang Jun busy in the workspace, she changed her mind temporarily and smiled, "Alright, then let’s have one bowl each."

The two each grabbed a bowl of dumplings and found a spot beside Qingqing and Weiwei to sit down.

Yang Yuxi noticed the two little ones staring at the dumplings in her hands, so she asked with a smile, "Qingqing, Weiwei, do you want some?"

"Yes!"

The two little ones exclaimed almost simultaneously, and then Weiwei gently patted her bulging belly, saying with a hint of regret, "But, my belly seems to be too full to hold anything else."

Qingqing nodded in agreement, "Same here, so full!"

Seeing their innocent yet slightly childish demeanor, Yang Yuxi and Wang Wenxia couldn’t help but burst into a chuckle.

Yang Yuxi softly patted their little heads, saying affectionately, "Since your little bellies are full, teachers will have to enjoy this treat alone. Rest for a while, digest, and you’ll have plenty of room for lunch later, alright?"

"Alright..."

Although Qingqing and Weiwei were a bit reluctant, they nodded obediently.

The two little ones leaned on the dining table with their elbows, resting their chins on their hands, watching Yang Yuxi and Wang Wenxia savor the dumplings without blinking, secretly imagining: If only they had two stomachs, wouldn’t that be great! Then they could eat more of this tasty food with no worries.

"Teachers, will you still be able to eat lunch?"

After reigniting the stove and boiling another big pot of dumplings, Huang Jun turned to ask those teachers who were too tempted by the food at the dining area.

"Chef Huang, don’t worry!" Zheng Yujia laughed and answered, "If lunch is too much, I’ll just head to the gym later, run an extra ten minutes on the treadmill, and sweat it out a bit."

"Exactly, Chef Huang! Rest assured preparing lunch, we..." Jiang Xinzhuo took over, playfully saying, "We definitely won’t miss the dumplings and lunch, never give up the feast. And even a bit of discomfort won’t keep us from loving food!"

"Yes, yes, even if stuffed to the limit, lunch won’t be skipped!"

The other teachers echoed her words.

Facing such enthusiastic responses from the teachers, what else could Huang Jun say?

He could only laugh helplessly, shaking his head gently, while a gentle smile lingered at the corner of his mouth, as he continued dedicating himself to preparing the dumplings in his hands.
