Chapter 360 - 334: Reality Gave Her a Resounding Slap in the Face
The moonlight softly spills onto the floor of the yoga room through the half-covered curtains.
Yang Yuxi is dressed in light blue yoga attire, and the delicate fabric clings to her body like the wings of a cicada, perfectly outlining her graceful figure, with each curve appearing so captivating.
At this moment.
She elegantly kneels on the yoga mat, her hands firmly planted on the ground, slowly lifting her knees off the floor until only her slender palms and toes lightly support her entire body...
Her back, hips, and legs form a perfect straight line under the light, as if she has transformed into a peacock ready to spread its wings, elegant and noble, exuding breathtaking beauty.
As time goes on...
The series of challenging yoga poses comes to an end.
Yang Yuxi’s body relaxes completely, her mind cleansed.
As for the calories!
Surely quite a few have been burned!
Of course.
Even the most skilled yogi, after such wholehearted involvement, inevitably feels a hint of weariness and thirst.
She elegantly sits on the elm wood floor, picks up a soft towel, and gently wipes the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and neck.
She picks up the nearby cup and takes graceful sips, the cool water instantly soothing her throat and taking away some of the dryness.
She puts down the cup.
Picks up her phone from the ground, glances at the time...
Better not look...
One look and she panics...
"Oh no... it’s about to start..."
As soon as the words leave her mouth.
She quickly gets up, strides out of the yoga room, and enters the living room.
She sits cross-legged on the soft sofa, cuddles a nearby stuffed toy, and deftly manipulates the remote control, turning on the TV and swiftly tuning into the local news channel.
She changes her usual habit of watching cheesy romance dramas and instead sits in front of the TV waiting for the local news to start, all because Dorami Kindergarten is making an appearance in the news tonight!
Don’t ask why she knows.
If you ask, she’ll say it’s insider information.
And as a member of Dorami Kindergarten...
She certainly can’t miss this important moment.
"Oh dear, why are these ads like an old lady’s footwrap, so foul and long..."
"Oh my, why hasn’t it started yet? I’ve been waiting forever!"
Each minute and second of waiting is torture for her, she wishes she could fast-forward...
Unfortunately!
No such function...
So helpless...
She keeps adjusting her posture, trying to find the most comfortable position to ease her anxiety.
Her hands involuntarily grip the remote tightly, as if worried that letting go would allow someone to snatch away the only key to Dorami Kindergarten’s news appearance.
But she forgot...
She currently lives alone.
There’s no one else in the room to compete with her.
Finally.
With the ads over, the news program arrives as scheduled.
"It’s here, it’s here!"
Her pretty face instantly lights up with excitement, her eyes fixed on the TV screen, eagerly anticipating the familiar scenes and sounds to appear before her.
In an instant...
During the news broadcast, Dorami Kindergarten was solemnly mentioned: "Today, the city’s Dorami Kindergarten held a unique anti-bomb drill."
"But this drill unexpectedly included a hilarious interlude."
"An unsuspecting chef mistook the drill for a real situation, grabbing his frying pan and unhesitatingly ’subdued’ the special forces officer playing the ’terrorist’, even ’taking hostage’ the officer to exchange ’hostages’ with other ’terrorists’."
"This series of unexpected actions had the children laughing heartily, providing them with an educational and unforgettable safety experience."
"Now, let’s follow the camera and enter this special moment..."
As the words end.
The camera quickly switches...
The familiar Dorami Kindergarten activity room comes into view.
The camera focuses on the children, who cling together, their young faces showing traces of fear and unease, while the teachers do their utmost to guide the children to be obedient and not anger the ’terrorists’, to avoid harm.
The screen shifts...
A man holding a frying pan and a gun steps out briskly from the kitchen, taking a ’terrorist’ straight to the activity room.
Behind him are three kitchen staff, armed with spatulas, ladles, and slotted spoons, resembling a peculiar ’rescue team’.
When they see him exchange hostages, he signals Liang Yinqiu and the kitchen crew to retreat swiftly, then engages in a breathtaking confrontation with the ’terrorist’. At the last moment, he decisively chooses to perish together with the ’enemy’...
Yang Yuxi’s beautiful eyes are filled with fascination, never taking them off the man on the screen, each subtle movement tugging at her heartstrings, her heart racing, as if about to burst out.
Indeed!
In her eyes, Huang Jun is like a hero riding on clouds and adorned in golden armor.
His bravery, fearlessness, decisive action make her swoon...
For a moment...
Yang Yuxi is utterly engrossed, her gaze unable to leave the screen, as if the whole world has reduced to only her and him...
Until the news report ended, the camera cut back to the news anchor.
But she was still immersed in that shocking scene, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
At this moment...
She hugged the doll in her arms tightly, gently rested her head on it, and a relieved smile spread across her face.
Beep beep!
Suddenly, the phone placed aside broke the silence, the screen lit up, showing a new message notification.
She was slightly taken aback, then put down the doll, and picked up the phone to check.
It was a message from the small group of seven colleagues.
Liu Suyu: "Everyone, did you watch the TV news? Our Dorami Kindergarten was on the news again! This time it’s still because of our amazing anti-terrorism exercise!"
Jiang Xinzhuo: Haha, of course I watched it! I really didn’t expect our kindergarten to appear on the local news again. This time the anti-terrorism exercise has become the focus of the news, no other kindergartens get this kind of treatment...
Wei Siyi: We have to thank Chef Huang for this, with his own strength, he got our anti-terrorism exercise on the local TV station’s news!
Xie Jianing: Speaking of which, did you notice that Qingqing’s dad is really camera-friendly? Even those so-called "unflattering angles," he’s still just as handsome, definitely has a star quality!
Zheng Yujia: Exactly, not only is Qingqing’s dad handsome, but also very brave.
Cai Jingxian: I really want to see the scene where Chef Huang uses the frying pan to hit the "terrorists," just thinking about it is thrilling!
Seeing such a lively discussion in the group chat, Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but join in.
Yang Yuxi: I also really want to see that scene! It’s a pity the photographer wasn’t following, and couldn’t capture that exciting moment.
Liu Suyu: Want to see this, it’s easy, the kitchen’s surveillance in our kindergarten just happened to capture this scene, I’ll send it to you all. Wait a moment...
Then, Liu Suyu quickly sent a surveillance video to the group.
Yang Yuxi couldn’t wait to click on the video.
Only to see Huang Jun, holding a frying pan, sticking close to the wall, carefully moving forward.
Suddenly, he leaped, and the frying pan in his hand, like a lightning bolt, precisely struck Fan Guangjian’s head.
Then, Fan Guangjian collapsed to the ground like a cooked noodle...
This scene made Yang Yuxi gape in astonishment.
She felt that the frying pan in Huang Jun’s hand seemed to become an almighty weapon, with incredible power, defeating the "enemy" in one hit.
As the video ended, she softly said, "Did Officer Fan play down his situation to maintain his image, saying it didn’t hurt? Seeing the frying pan hit like that, even through the screen, it feels painful, how could it not hurt? Hmm, maybe Officer Fan has really trained in some iron head skill, becoming resistant to such blows."
While speaking, she suddenly jumped up from the sofa and quickly walked to the kitchen. She picked up a frying pan, imitating Huang Jun’s actions in the video, and swung it down...
This look...
Oh, how playful and cute!
...
Deng Manli has always been enthusiastic about watching local TV news, whenever she has time, she watches it without missing a broadcast.
Especially these past few days.
She has been faithfully watching in front of the TV.
For no other reason!
Just to catch news about her Government Kindergarten.
After all, her Government Kindergarten had just held an anti-terrorism exercise a few days ago, the entire process was rigorous and orderly, and the performances of the children and teachers were outstanding. She firmly believed that such activities would surely earn a place in TV news.
Therefore.
Tonight, after finishing her dinner, she sat on the sofa, as usual, and turned on the local TV station’s news program on time...
Hoping tonight won’t disappoint her again!
Initially, the news content did not mention her kindergarten.
This made her feel a twinge of disappointment, she took her phone out of her pocket and started browsing messages on WeChat, trying to find some solace in the hustle and bustle of social media.
Suddenly.
A voice came from the TV: "Recently, Dorami Kindergarten in our city held a unique anti-terrorism drill..."
Upon hearing this, Deng Manli froze instantly, her phone suspended mid-air.
She repeated incredulously, "Dorami Kindergarten?"
"How are they on the TV news?"
"Shouldn’t it be our Government Kindergarten?"
She recalled how her kindergarten had also held a successful and exciting anti-terrorism exercise a few days ago.
Originally thinking that this exercise’s outstanding performance would, as in the past, stand out among the kindergartens, earning yet another chance for their kindergarten to make it to local news,
But.
Reality gave her a slap in the face.
In the news, what was receiving attention was not her proud Government Kindergarten, but the usually unremarkable Dorami Kindergarten...
How could she not be dejected?
How could she be willing?
When the words "unaware chef" reached her ears, an inexplicable premonition quietly grew in her heart: "Could it be that a chef is causing trouble again?"
She focused on watching seriously.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t watch...
Upon watching, it turned out to be that chef causing trouble again!
At the same time, she was deeply shocked and realized where she had lost!
With such a responsible chef, it stands to reason that their Dorami Kindergarten’s anti-terrorism exercise made it to the TV news!
This time.
She accepted her loss wholeheartedly!
And she also developed a strong interest in Huang Jun, deciding that when she goes to Dorami Kindergarten for exchange that day, she must make sure to meet this great chef properly.
