Back at home, Wei Qiaoyi sat on the sofa, and Gao Dian sat opposite him.

"You said before that Akihisa Nagashima didn't have a brain disease, so he deliberately targeted you. Not really. Wei Qiaoyi said.

"And why is he?" Gao Dian asked.

"Actually, as you might guess, part of the reason for this is because of me." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian nodded, he did have such a guess.

It's just that he can't figure it out, what did Wei Qiaoyi do to go to Nagashima Akihisa to target himself like this?

"That was a few years ago." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Wei Qiaoyi's crisp voice slowly sounded in the living room.

"It must have been a few years ago, when I traveled and went to the Sun Country for a while, and as one of the top ten cuisines in the world, I naturally wanted to see it.

During that time, I met Akihisa Nagashima......"

Before Wei Qiaoyi met Akihisa Nagashima, he was known as the first day of the Sun Country, and at that time, he was in the limelight and had a great reputation in the food industry.

Wei Qiaoyi has two ways to see food in the Sun Country, one is to taste the food everywhere, and the other is to compete and communicate with the chefs of the Sun Country.

It was in this process that Wei Qiaoyi met Akihisa Nagashima.

Strictly speaking, it was not a chance encounter, but Akihisa Nagashima specially came to find Wei Qiaoyi.

Because Wei Qiaoyi at that time crushed many Sun Country cooking geniuses, crushing at the level of cooking.

Akihisa Nagashima stood up and deliberately stood up for Wei Qiaoyi, supporting the many culinary geniuses who were defeated by Wei Qiaoyi.

When he came, he swore an oath, but after really competing with Wei Qiaoyi, Akihisa Nagashima seemed to have lost his soul, and the whole person was a little suspicious of life.

Because Wei Qiaoyi's cooking level far surpassed him, what Sun Country was only on the first day, and he was vulnerable in front of Wei Qiaoyi.

It was also in that competition that Akihisa Nagashima, the number one culinary genius of the Sun Country, was destroyed in his self-confidence, and he began to doubt himself and lived in the shadow of Wei Qiaoyi all the time.

Because the gap is too big, for so long, Akihisa Nagashima has not been able to get out of that shadow, and his cooking level has been stagnant for a long time and there is no progress.

…………

Wei Qiaoyi talked about it relatively briefly, about why she went to travel, how she tried it with the younger generation of chefs in the Sun Country, and finally even Nagashima Akihisa led to it, Wei Qiaoyi didn't go into too much detail.

However, through Wei Qiaoyi's explanation, Gao Dian can be regarded as understanding the cause and effect, and he has a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"I see, but I still have a doubt, what does it have to do with me that you won Akihisa Nagashima?" Gao Dian asked suspiciously.

"His cooking level has been stagnant for a long time, and it is estimated that Akihisa Nagashima is a little anxious, and he regards you as a goal to break the barrier in his heart." Wei Qiaoyi said.

This is not a blind guess, according to Wei Qiaoyi's speculation, it is very likely.

But Gao Dian felt even more confused.

"No, I mean, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? Even if he wins me, he may not be able to get out of your shadow. Gao Dian said.

"What he wants is not to get out of the shadow I have brought him, but to rebuild his self-confidence." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"Rebuilding self-confidence?" Gao Dian was a little confused.

"To put it simply, because you are about the same age as me and your cooking skills are not low, he sees you as a goal, and if he wins you, he can rebuild his self-confidence." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"I kind of get it, but I don't think it's the right way to go. Rise from where you fall. Gao Dian shook his head and said.

Wei Qiaoyi smiled, "Everyone has their own choice. ”

"By the way, what if he can't win?" Gao Dian suddenly asked curiously.

"Can't beat you? If he can't win you, it's even more difficult for him to rebuild his confidence again. Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian responded, thoughtfully.

"What? Are you going to help him? Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"Nope! How come, we are opponents, according to our habits, the opponent has to deal with it with all our might, this is the respect for the opponent. Gao Dian said with a smile.

If Akihisa Nagashima wants him to be a stepping stone to rebuild his confidence, then he can't blame Takanori for being ruthless.

He doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others.

"By the way, I have another question." Gao Dian said.

"What's the problem?"

"In the years you have been traveling, how many people have been struck out of the shadows by you like Akihisa Nagashima?" Gao Dian asked.

Wei Qiaoyi thought carefully for a while and said, "It's not much." ”

Hearing this, Gao Dian breathed a sigh of relief, it was enough to have one Nagashima Akihisa, and he was really afraid that more Nagashima Akihisa would pop up in the future, and he would be used as a stepping stone one by one.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Qiaoyi said: "At first, I wanted to exchange and compete with young chefs, but later I found that young chefs were not very good, so I found a higher generation of chefs to exchange and compete. ”

Suddenly, Gao Dian felt a little melancholy in his heart, listen, is this human talk? The younger generation of chefs is not very good? It's not just Chinese.

"Then there won't be a more advanced generation of chefs who will trouble me, right?" Gao Dian asked.

"No, I'm always winning and losing." Wei Qiaoyi said.

The two talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

There's a game tomorrow, so you have to be mentally motivated today.

Lying on the bed, Gao Dian couldn't sleep for a while, he remembered what he had just said when he talked to Wei Qiaoyi, from which he could peek into Wei Qiaoyi's past.

In fact, Wei Qiaoyi has always been a very mysterious person to Gao Dian.

Suddenly appeared, silently opened a dessert shop, without publicity and no advertising.

The cooking skills are very high, but they are at ease guarding the dessert shop.

Very rich, insisting on opening stores every day.

This is Gao Dian's perception of Wei Qiaoyi.

As for what kind of story Wei Qiaoyi had before, he didn't know.

In today's conversation, Wei Qiaoyi took the initiative to say some of his past, and just from some words, Gao Dian could feel how rich and wonderful Wei Qiaoyi's past was.

That's something he yearns for.

Maybe Wei Qiaoyi has more stories, but ...... That's something I'll have a chance to learn about later.

Gao Dian closed his eyes, stopped thinking about these things, and soon he fell asleep.

…………

"Nagashima-kun, I still don't understand, is it really useful for you to do this?" A contestant who is the same Sun Country as Akihisa Nagashima asked.

Akihisa Nagashima took a deep breath and said: "It's not that I want to do this, it's just that there is no way, I've been stagnant for too long, according to my own talent, it shouldn't be at this level in the past few years, but my progress in the past few years has been very slow, almost stagnant."

Hirata-kun, I have to break this situation.

Wei Qiaoyi I can't catch up, that person is too demonic, even if I grow up at a normal rate, I should be inferior to her now, not to mention that I am making slow progress now.

So...... I had to find another way! ”

"But, Nagashima-kun, that Gao Dian is not weak, why don't you find a weaker one? Wouldn't that have a much better chance of success? ”

Akihisa Nagashima shook his head and said, "No! My opponent can't be weak, to rebuild self-confidence, it's not just a matter of finding an opponent to beat, you must first have a strong enough strength! ”

After a pause, Akihisa Nagashima added: "Actually, I didn't plan to use Gao Dian at first, because before I came, I didn't expect to meet such a suitable opponent, but since I did, then I can only use it." ”

"Anyway, Nagashima-kun, be careful yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

………………

Early the next morning.

This competition, strictly speaking, can be regarded as a semi-final.

There are only seven rounds in total, and now the sixth round is not an exaggeration to say that it is a semi-final.

The chefs who have been able to stay and come to this point, without exception, are extremely powerful.

Of the remaining six chefs, Hua Guo occupies three, which is unexpected and reasonable.

After all, when it comes to food culture and food prosperity, if Huaguo says second, no country dares to say first.

The first group is the match between Wei Qiaoyi and Italy's Leo.

The second group is a competition between Qiu Weijun and a chef from country F.

As for the third group, it is also a competition between Takanori and Akihisa Nagashima.

Coincidentally, the three chefs in Huaguo are not in the same group, which is not the intention of the organizers, but the distribution of the machines in this way.

As the organizer, there is really no need to do this, even if there are two people in a team, at least someone can enter the finals.

The competition has officially begun.

Leo looked at the beautiful woman opposite, but he didn't appreciate it at all in his heart, when he saw this face, he could think of the scene where Wei Qiaoyi, who was more immature than now, competed with his teacher.

Although my teacher won the competition, it was not easy to win.

Leo on the side, at that moment, felt the shadow of Wei Qiaoyi deep in his heart.

Seeing it again, the scene of that day resurfaced again, he is not at the level of his own teacher now, this woman in front of him, but she was the one who could compete with his teacher head-on.

Can he really win?

For a moment, Leo was a little suspicious of himself.

Before the game was played, he was already half of the loss in his heart!

As the host said, "The game begins", the two of them began to make pastries.

Wei Qiaoyi's movements are a little casual, but if you look closely, you can find that this is not the case, every step she takes is very meticulous.

On the other side, Leo is also making pasta.

This is his specialty, although the momentum is a little weaker, but he has not given up.

If you lose, you must lose clearly, and you can't lose before the game.

Time passes slowly.

In the final judging stage, Leo did not have any miracles and lost the game.

Wei Qiaoyi's face was calm, as if she had won a semi-final, which was not something to be particularly happy about.

Lounge area.

Qiu Weijun, who was sitting next to Gao Dian, suddenly sighed: "Wei Qiaoyi is still so powerful, and his strength seems to be bottomless. ”

"Brother Qiu, are you saying that Qiaoyi hasn't used all her strength yet?" Gao Dian asked.

Qiu Weijun shook his head with a smile and said, "It shouldn't be, I don't know if you have noticed that she rarely has strong emotional fluctuations when she participates in the competition this time because she won the competition." ”

Gao Dian was stunned, and he suddenly understood what Qiu Weijun meant.

Playing is a very exciting thing, whether you win or lose, there will be emotional fluctuations, and these emotional fluctuations will fluctuate depending on the intensity of the game.

In short, the harder it is to win a game, the greater the mood swings.

And Wei Qiaoyi has almost no mood swings, what does this mean?

Gao Dian already had the answer in his heart.

Wei Qiaoyi walked to the rest area and said with a smile: "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Gao Dian shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he didn't ask anymore.

After Wei Qiaoyi sat down, Qiu Weijun stood up.

His expression was solemn, and the opponent he was going to face this time was extremely strong.

After Qiu Weijun came to power, Wei Qiaoyi said in a low voice: "This time Lao Qiu wants to win, it's difficult." ”

Gao Dian was also silent for a while.

In fact, the game has been carried out so far, and the strength that should be shown has basically been shown.

Qiu Weijun's opponent, the pastry chef of country F named Auror, is known as the favorite to win the championship.

His level is obvious to all.

At the same time, Aurol has shown a total of three desserts so far, each of which is impeccable.

That is, he will have at least three impeccable pastries.

This strength is not strong.

Qiu Weijun is also very powerful, but compared to Auror, there is still a gap.

Of course, Qiu Weijun is not without a chance of winning, and the gap between the two is not big. It's just that Orol is a little bit stronger, so compared to the two, Oroel has a greater probability of winning.

"Let's still believe Brother Qiu." Gao Dian said softly.

"Now I can only choose to believe him." Wei Qiaoyi said.

The conversation between the two was very quiet, after all, although everyone knew that Oroel was stronger than Qiu Weijun, if he said it loudly at this time, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army.

Time passes slowly.

The game on the field is also gradually coming to an end.

After the two scored, Qiu Weijun was defeated, and there was not much difference between the two scores. Auror won by a narrow margin to reach the final.

Wei Qiaoyi had an expression of "sure enough" on his face, and Gao Dian was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

Qiu Weijun has done a very good job, and the gap between his score and Aurol is extremely small.

Next, there is the last and third group of matches.

Takanori to Akihisa Nagashima!

This is also the competition that determines the final place in the finals, and whoever wins will enter the finals.

Takayo wants to win, and Akihisa Nagashima wants to win even more.

"Come on! Don't lose to him! ”

At the moment when Gao Dian got up and was about to take the stage, Wei Qiaoyi grabbed Gao Dian and whispered.

"Good! I won't lose! Gao Dian responded.

Even if Wei Qiaoyi didn't say it, he didn't want to lose.

Because, he doesn't want to be used as a stepping stone by Akihisa Nagashima!

"Come on!"

Qiu Weijun, who had just finished the game, also spoke.

Gao Dian nodded, and then the others also opened their mouths to cheer, and Gao Dian walked to the arena in the sound of cheering.
