"Hey, it's not my fault I mixed it up. I told you I had never really cooked before... Besides, it can't be that bad."
As soon as Meiya picked up a piece of the food and ate it, her eyes suddenly started to widen.
"This is actually so good! Alex, you should try some."
Seeing Meiya say it out loud, Alex still hesitated. But he eventually succumbed to curiosity as he picked up one piece with the fork.
To his surprise, the sweetness didn't make the potato beef stew taste bad. It actually tasted much better than he ever imagined.
"Hey Luqing, don't eat all of it yourself."
Luqing's face blushed a little as she ate almost a third of it while the two were still just having a taste.
"It's fine, I can go cook more..."

After a short warm-up with the dummy training, Meiya finally moved on to the next part—a fight between Meiya and the two of them.
