Heating it with hot air would cook this thin slice of beef all the way through.
There was no need to worry about her getting an upset stomach.
Theresa sat to the side, watching him eagerly. Beef like clouds was something she had never even imagined before, so of course she craved it terribly.
"Do you want some?"
Zhao Bai brought the knife down lightly, his movements as clean and decisive as if he were cutting down a person.
Theresa's face lit up, thinking that he had finally forgiven the lie she had blurted out in her panic.
But the knife lifted gently, and the thin slice of beef rode the hot air as it drifted away. Bronya, not far off, opened her mouth and swallowed the cloud of beef.
Theresa understood. In the end, she still had not been forgiven.
Rumors were spreading wildly throughout the school that Zhao Bai had a child, but the mother was not Bronya.
Yet no one dug any deeper to ask who the child's father was.
The mother might not have been Bronya, but Xuanyuan Sword called Bronya Dad!
Overnight, everyone pointed fingers at Zhao Bai.
Although Himeko came to apologize uneasily, Zhao Bai knew perfectly well.
At the root of it all, Theresa had caused this mess.
To avoid work, that brat had actually dared to spread rumors about Zhao Bai!
As punishment, she was forbidden from eating.
Not only was she forbidden from eating, she also had to watch everyone else eat.
Her daily bitter melon juice was gone too.
After a day of torment, Zhao Bai felt that Theresa seemed to have grown even smaller from hunger.
