Chapter 544: 544: Proof
Not far away, the chicken’s body lay on the ground.
But, the body was still moving.
Due to pain, the wings were constantly twitching.
“I… I just cut off the chicken’s head, I didn’t expect its body to still be moving,” Cindy Clarke trembled.
There was some chicken blood on her body.
Adrian Zhekova held her in his arms without any disgust and didn’t care how the other contestants looked.
“It’s okay now,” Adrian Zhekova whispered, stroking the back of her head and her back. “It’s okay now.”
“My… my hands are shaking,” Cindy said, “I think, I think I can’t touch that chicken anymore.”
“As a chef, I can’t even do this, I’m not qualified at all,” Cindy thought of what just happened and still had goosebumps all over her body.
“Tell me, what did you do just now?” Adrian Zhekova asked in a low voice.
“I… I was holding the chicken by its neck,” Cindy said, “Its wings were flapping. I didn’t know how to grab its wings. If I did, it would peck my hand.”
“I could only hold its neck and use a knife… use a knife to cut its neck…” Cindy said intermittently, “But it kept moving, I couldn’t accurately use force, so… I just chopped it on the ground .”
She had really chopped off the chicken’s head.
But the chicken’s head was separated from its body, and its body still twitched on the ground.
At first, the chicken’s body almost fluttered up.
Not to mention Cindy, who had acted on it herself, even Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown were shocked.
“When I close my eyes now, that chicken head is staring at me,” Cindy covered her face, and all ten fingers were trembling.
“Sorry, I came late,” Adrian Zhekova held Cindy, regretting so much.
Why didn’t he read the plan carefully?
Why did he come so slow!
He should have come faster and earlier.
If he had come, he would have killed the chicken for her.
Cindy shook her head: “What’s the use of you coming early, I can’t let you do it.”
Adrian Zhekova was immediately speechless.
“Not let me do it?” Adrian Zhekova asked her.
“This is my competition,” Cindy said, sniffing.
From the moment she started, there were tears in her eyes, but they never fell.
Even when she saw Adrian Zhekova, she didn’t let her tears fall.
On the contrary, she controlled them and forced the tears back.
She didn’t like the weak, weeping appearance when she met Adrian Zhekova.
What does this look like!
When Adrian Zhekova wasn’t there, she could bear anything.
As soon as Adrian Zhekova arrived, she cried.
Was it worth being so weak?
Anyway, that’s what Cindy thought.
“Even if it’s not you, it’s not allowed to let others do it,” Cindy said, “Since the competition has set such rules, I have to abide by them.”
“Otherwise, if I let someone help, is it possible for others to let someone help? If they don’t let them find someone to help, it’s very unfair,” Cindy said in frustration.
“So, even if you come early, I can’t let you help,” Cindy sniffed, “You just need to be there for moral support.”
Adrian Zhekova: “…”
So, actually, there was no use for him to come.
Adrian Zhekova suddenly felt that he was really useless.
He must scold the planner when he goes back!
Seeing the frustrated look on Adrian Zhekova’s face, Cindy couldn’t help but smile and said, “But, because you’re here, I feel much better now.”
Adrian Zhekova sighed and wrapped her hand in his palm, “Really better?”
Cindy nodded: “Maybe it’s still a little uncomfortable, but it’s much better than before.”
Especially the hand she had pinched the chicken’s neck with was now wrapped in Adrian Zhekova’s palm.
The warmth of his palm warmed her palm as well.
Originally, every time Cindy thought of the touch on her hand and the appearance of the chicken head falling to the ground, she would get goosebumps all over her body.
But now, because of warmth, it was much better.
“I can continue the competition,” Cindy said.
Adrian Zhekova raised his eyebrows: “Are you driving me away?”
Unexpectedly, Cindy nodded honestly, “Yeah, what else are you staying for? You can’t interfere with the competition.”
Billy Houston was moved.
Cindy was really an honest person!
She said what he wanted to say.
If it was him who said those words, he would definitely be scolded by the scumbag CEO.
Not only would he be scolded, but he would also be remembered.
But it’s different when Cindy said it.
There was no trace of anger on the scumbag CEO, but rather a little bit of grievance.
“I hate the feeling that I can’t help at all,” Adrian Zhekova said in frustration.
“You helped me,” Cindy whispered, “You could feel my fear through the screen, so you came right away.”
“Because only you can come in, for other contestants, even if they have family and friends worrying, they can only sit on the stands and can’t come in,” Cindy said, “But you came in to comfort me, let me recover, and continue the competition normally.”
“If you hadn’t come, I might not have been able to recover for a long time, and I might not even be able to continue the competition.”
Cindy smiled brightly, “I’m so lucky you came.”
Adrian Zhekova unconsciously rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, “So, should I go now?”
“Yeah,” Cindy nodded, “We all have to compete, and if you stay here, they won’t be comfortable, which will affect their competition.”
Hearing this, Adrian Zhekova subconsciously turned to look at Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown.
Both were really stiff.
As if petrified on the spot, each of them held a fluttering chicken in their hands, which looked a bit funny.
Adrian Zhekova laughed and nodded, “Alright, I’m leaving.”
“I know you don’t like to give up easily, but if you really can’t hold on, it’s okay to give up,” Adrian Zhekova said, “Don’t forget the original intention of signing up for the competition.”
“At that time, you signed up for the competition just to prove to people that you have the strength, and you’re not being framed by Zoe Silverstone. Actually, you’ve proven that point a long time ago.”
“Now everyone knows that you have the strength, so if it’s really difficult, it’s okay to withdraw and don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” Adrian Zhekova said.
Cindy stunned, after being reminded by Adrian Zhekova.
Right, her initial intention to participate in the competition was actually to prove her strength to others.
It was because she was not convinced that Zoe Silverstone framed her with a water army.
Now Zoe Silverstone has lost.
And through the competition, her cooking skills have also been recognized.
Even if some people think she may not win the championship.
But at least as a food blogger, she has proven herself already.
