I'm not sure exactly where I'm wrong
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temp= int.Parse(input);
if ( temp < 21){
Console.Write("Too cold!");
}
else if(temp <= 22){
Console.Write("Just right!");
}
else {
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}

Console.Write("Just right!")

I'll try to help you.
When the temperature is between 21 and 22, the string "Just right." should be written to the console, but you accidentally typed "Just right!" instead. So your code will work if you change it:
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temp= int.Parse(input);
if ( temp < 21 ){
Console.Write("Too cold!");
}
else if( temp <= 22 ){
Console.Write("Just right.");
}
else if( temp > 22 ){
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}
Even though, the code now works, I think it will be clearer not to end an if statement with an else if clause. I'm sure there are better ways than the following one, but just to help and be as close as possible to what you write, I think you can refactor it as follows:
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temp= int.Parse(input);
if ( temp < 21 ){
Console.Write("Too cold!");
}
else if ( temp <= 22 ){
Console.Write("Just right.");
}
else {
if( temp > 22 ) {
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}
}
I hope it helps. Best regards.

The original "else" is just fine. The same clarity can be achieved without additional code with just a comment:
else /* temp > 22 */ {
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}
