After spontaneously and earnestly admitting his mistakes to Su Bai, Qiu Wen looked at him with eager eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he mustered up the courage and made a solemn request - in order to compete in the afternoon with full strength, could the coach treat him to a meal?

Su Bai thought that Qiu Wen had hesitated for a while to make some significant request, but it turned out to be this matter.

Standing beside Qiu Wen and Su Bai, Hu Li and Zhang Wei were also taken aback. They had heard about the legend of "Third Floor Master Chef," but their own performance and potential had always been average. They had never tasted Su Bai's cooking before, so they were only curious about the so-called "Third Floor Master Chef" and hadn't thought about how good Su Bai's cooking could be.

Qiu Wen's request wasn't unreasonable. The hotel they were staying in was specially provided by the organizers. Due to the large number of athletes staying there, they had arranged for a supplier to bring quality-assured ingredients to the hotel for the J Province Track and Field Team. They also had dedicated chefs responsible for the athletes' meals, making ingredient acquisition quite convenient.

Considering that Qiu Wen had a competition in the afternoon, with the 400m final scheduled for 3:20 PM, there was still a considerable amount of time before the race. After some consideration, Su Bai thought that preparing some simple food for Qiu Wen would be suitable, but he shouldn't eat too much to avoid affecting his athletic performance later.

After careful thought, Su Bai led Qiu Wen and the others back to the hotel. He borrowed the hotel's kitchen and ingredients, and cooked a pot of corn and pork rib soup. Additionally, he made steamed pomfret, stir-fried beef, and fresh stir-fried choy sum.

In the hotel kitchen, the chefs who were originally working in the back kitchen were preparing to get to work when they heard that an athlete needed a separate order. However, little did they know that the hotel staff brought in a young person claiming to be a coach who wanted to use the kitchen to cook for the athletes personally.

Well, this was something new!

As H City was the regular host of the annual Track and Field Grand Prix, this hotel was a designated hospitality venue. The chefs had seen many athletes before, but it was the first time they had seen a coach come into the kitchen to personally prepare meals for the athletes.

Although they didn't need to work, they were happy to have a leisurely time. During breaks in the kitchen, they occasionally glanced at the young coach who was busy preparing meals.

And that look was remarkable—wait a moment, didn't they say this person was a coach? Based on his posture, he looked even more like a chef than the actual chefs themselves!

The series of actions from ingredient selection to meal preparation flowed smoothly. Let's not mention those details. Focus on this coach; when he was halfway through cooking a dish, the aroma was already distinguishable from what the chefs produced. Although they watched him use the same stove, ingredients, and seasonings as them, the fragrance was distinctly different from what they made.

If one had to describe the difference, it was as if in a group of beauties, you could still remain untempted by their charm and instead fixate on the one and only ethereal fairy among them.

Suddenly, the head chef in the back kitchen recalled a saying from his master: Some people cook, creating delicious delicacies, while others use the same ingredients to create a mess. Somehow, at this moment, the head chef felt like he had become the one who created a mess.
