Lin Yu did not write the official number of skewers on the registration sheet.
Instead, he stepped aside and let the people behind them register first. He pulled Little Chi to one side and asked suspiciously,
“You know them?”
Chi Qingchi quickly nodded and gestured for Lin Yu to bend down.
Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered,
“They’re a famous competitive-eating couple from Pingchuan!”
“They have more than sixty thousand followers on Bilibili. I follow them too.”
“I didn’t see them in line just now.”
“I didn’t expect them to show up after all!”
The moment she mentioned Bilibili, Lin Yu instinctively asked,
“They’re content creators too?”
“You don’t seem worried about being recognized.”
Chi Qingchi nodded again and said,
“I’m not really worried about them. Apart from making eating videos, they rarely interact with any other content creators.”
“They probably won’t recognize you. But you’re our champion…”
“We might lose this time!”
Chi Qingchi drooped her shoulders dejectedly, suddenly losing all confidence in the challenge.
Thirty red-willow skewers…
That meant an average of fifteen skewers per person.
If Chi Qingchi pushed herself, she might be able to attempt it.
But that was all it would be—an attempt.
The more someone enjoyed eating, the better they understood their own limits.
Ten skewers were within her capabilities.
She could finish that amount without much trouble.
If she still felt up to it afterward, adding another two or three would not be a problem.
But fifteen skewers…
That was the kind of amount she could only manage by gritting her teeth and forcing herself through it!
“Ma’am, the two of us would like to challenge thirty skewers as well.”
Before Chi Qingchi could recover from her dejection, Lin Yu’s voice came from behind her.
He had actually gone over and registered by himself.
The moment she heard him, Chi Qingchi was startled.
“Wait! Wait!”
“Ma’am, please wait!”
Chi Qingchi hurriedly grabbed Lin Yu’s arm and raised her hand, signaling the proprietress not to write anything down yet.
The proprietress looked at the two young people and kindly warned them,
“Young man, young lady, these aren’t ordinary barbecue skewers.”
“They’re red-willow skewers. We’ve got samples on display in the oven over there.”
“If you fail the challenge, you’ll still have to pay the full price.”
“I think it’s better to eat within your limits. Don’t enter the challenge blindly.”
“I don’t mean anything by it… Hehe. Why don’t you discuss it a little more?”
Chi Qingchi quickly seized the opportunity to back out.
“Yes, yes, we’ll discuss—”
Before she could finish, Lin Yu answered directly,
“No need. We’ve already made up our minds.”
“Ma’am, we’ve read the rules and understand them clearly, so don’t worry.”
He had put it so firmly that if the proprietress still refused to write down their information, it would make the restaurant look as though it could not afford to honor its own challenge.
“All right, no problem.”
“As long as you’ve read the rules.”
“You’re the second couple today to challenge thirty skewers!”
“I hope you can finish them all. You’re officially registered.”
The moment the others heard that they were challenging thirty skewers, the many men and women taking part immediately turned their attention toward them.
“Thirty skewers? Are they serious?”
“Looking at their builds, they don’t seem capable of eating that much!”
“Hey, aren’t they the young couple who were taking pictures at the entrance just now?”
“It really is them. Young people sure are full of energy!”
“Even ten skewers would be a struggle for the two of us. Thirty? They must have iron stomachs!”
“They’ve really gotten carried away, haven’t they? Those two are taking on thirty skewers too?”
……
In an instant, the two of them became the center of attention, drawing heated discussion from everyone present.
