Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Keke and Gao He were anxiously carrying the unconscious Ye Keke home, calling her name all the way, but Ye Keke kept her eyes closed and did not respond, which filled Gao He's heart with worry and self-blame.

Upon entering the house, he carefully placed Ye Keke on the bed, then sat down beside her, holding her hand tightly, his eyes filled with anxiety and concern. He carefully examined Ye Keke's pale face; her usually bright eyes were now tightly closed, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her cheeks, and her lips were bloodless. Her once charming appearance now evoked pity.

"Coco, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Gao He's voice trembled slightly as he gently stroked Ye Coco's forehead, trying to feel if her body temperature was normal. However, the icy touch made his heart tighten.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly got up, rummaging through the room for anything that might be useful. He found a clean towel, ran to the kitchen to fetch a basin of cold water, and then returned to the room, gently wiping Ye Keke's cheeks and hands with the damp towel, hoping to make her feel better.

As she was wiping, Ye Keke's fingers twitched slightly. Although it was an extremely subtle movement, Gao He still noticed it keenly. He called out in surprise, "Keke, Keke, can you hear me?" However, Ye Keke did not wake up. Her fingers trembled slightly a few more times before she fell silent again.

Gao He didn't give up. He continued to stay by the bedside, staring intently at Ye Keke's face, hoping she would show signs of waking up again. Time passed slowly, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Keke's eyelids twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and weakness. Seeing Gao He's worried face, she softly asked, "What happened to me?"

When Gao He saw Ye Keke wake up, he was overjoyed beyond words. He quickly helped Ye Keke sit up, his voice filled with relief at surviving such a close call: "Keke, you fainted at the market just now, it scared me to death. How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"

Ye Keke shook her head slightly, leaned against Gao He's chest, and said softly, "I'm fine. I'm probably just too tired lately, and it's a bit stuffy in the market, so I suddenly feel a little dizzy."

Gao He gently patted Ye Keke's back and said tenderly, "You need to take more time to rest in the future. You can't push yourself so hard. This competition is important, but your health is more important."

Ye Keke nodded obediently: "I understand, Brother Gao He, thank you for bringing me back."

The two nestled together quietly, filling the room with a warm and intimate atmosphere. However, deep in Gao He's heart, Fang Xiaobei's disappointed gaze quietly surfaced, and a trace of guilt, barely perceptible, welled up inside him. But faced with Ye Keke's tenderness, he quickly cast this guilt aside. He closed his eyes, savoring the intimate moment with Ye Keke, temporarily shutting out all the disturbances of the outside world.

Ye Ke leaned against Gao He's chest for a while before slowly opening her eyes. A few glistening tears still clung to her long eyelashes, making her look pitiful. She thought to herself, "Hmph, this fainting spell must have broken Gao He's heart. Fang Xiaobei, just you wait and see, Gao He is more concerned about me now."

She said in a weak voice, "Brother Gao He, am I really useless? I've been so tired from preparing for the competition these past few days. I didn't expect to break down at the market and even delay our selection of spices." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, but she thought to herself, "Looking at how weak I am, Brother Gao He will definitely not blame me."

Gao He gently wiped away her tears with heartache and comforted her, "Coco, don't say that. You're just too tired. Your health is the most important thing. This food competition is a rare opportunity for us. Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Ye Keke nodded gently, sobbing as she said, "Yes, Brother Gao He, I know you will protect me and help me. But I'm still a little worried. I saw Fang Xiaobei and Xia Zhi at the market today, and they seemed very well prepared. I'm afraid we can't compete with them." As she spoke, a pitiful helplessness appeared in her eyes, and she secretly observed Gao He's reaction, thinking to herself, "I don't believe this won't make Brother Gao He favor me more and forget about Fang Xiaobei."

Gao He frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly said firmly, "Coco, don't worry. They're well prepared, but we're not bad either. Have you forgotten those unique spice combinations we discussed before? As long as we play to our strengths, we'll definitely succeed."

Ye Keke sniffed, took Gao He's hand, and said coquettishly, "I knew Brother Gao He was the best! But I'm still a little scared. What if we lose? Will everyone laugh at me and think I'm a burden to you?" She silently thought to herself, "I must make Brother Gao He feel that I am the one who needs his protection the most. I can't let him have any dissatisfaction with me."

Gao He gently patted Ye Keke's hand and said tenderly, "How could that be? Keke, don't think like that. Even if you lose, it's not your fault. Besides, we haven't even competed yet, so why are you already thinking about losing? We need to have confidence in ourselves."

Ye Keke lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and whispered, "I understand, Brother Gao He. I will try my best, but lately I feel like Fang Xiaobei doesn't like me as much. Did I do something wrong?" She looked up at Gao He, her eyes full of innocence and grievance, trying to make Gao He favor her more, but secretly she was delighted: "Brother Gao He, you must stand on my side. I want to let Fang Xiaobei know who the final winner is."

Gao He was silent for a moment, then said, "Coco, don't worry about her. Let's just focus on our own things. In this competition, we need to concentrate on the dishes; nothing else matters."

Ye Keke nodded obediently, then snuggled closer to Gao He and whispered, "Yes, Brother Gao He, I'll listen to you. I just don't want any misunderstandings between you and Fang Xiaobei because of me." But in her heart, she thought, "Misunderstandings are good. It's best if they can completely distance themselves from each other. Brother Gao He can only be mine."

From an angle unseen by Gao He, Ye Keke's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a hint of barely perceptible smugness. But when Gao He looked down at her, she quickly reverted to her weak and helpless demeanor, continuing to discuss the competition with Gao He, while a calculating glint occasionally flashed in her eyes, making it impossible to discern what she was truly thinking.
