Du Xixi noticed that although the potatoes were cut unevenly, the young man had tried hard to slice them well, so instead of criticizing, Du Xixi encouragingly patted his shoulder, "Don't rush things. Take it slow, and you'll succeed."
The little young man was still somewhat angry about the wide-eyed young man's glaring, and seeing his knife skills, was determined secretly to surpass him.
