Cultivation Department Shura Field

Chapter 21 Stillness
On the way home, Xu Zhe told the two girls what he had just experienced.

Tang Lingfei concluded: "Listen to what you said, were you almost robbed just now?"

Xu Zhe: "That's right."

Song Xingye stared at him with some admiration: "Are you not afraid of this kind of thing at all? You fooled them with just a show..."

Xu Zhe said calmly: "It's useless to be afraid. Just control your emotions. By the way, where are you going to have lunch later?"

Song Xingye nodded: "Feifei said you can cook, and you do it very well."

Xu Zhe turned to look at the other girl.

Tang Lingfei: "Why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhe: "...You promised on my behalf to cook for you at noon today?"

"My parents are not at home today, and Xiao Yezi has not come home. We are all here with you. If you don't cook, what will we eat?"

Tang Lingfei tried to take a matter-of-fact attitude, but her voice was slightly weak, which showed that she still lacked confidence in whether her childhood sweetheart could agree to this.

Xu Zhe was silent for a few seconds.

Facing the expectant looks of the two girls, he shrugged: "Okay, then I'll cook and go to your house."

Tang Lingfei nodded vigorously: "That's necessary!"

----

An hour later, at Tang Lingfei's house, Xu Zhe brought a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork to the table.

At this time, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye had already started eating.Song Xingye's movements were relatively gentle, but Tang Lingfei was not polite at all and launched a fierce attack on the Mushu Pork and Mapo Tofu that were served first, wiping out half a bowl of rice.

Xu Zhe sat down: "Can't you two wait for me to eat together?"

Song Xingye stopped his chopsticks and said weakly: "I..."

"Little Ye Zi said that I would wait for you," Tang Lingfei couldn't stop her chopsticks at all, "but we couldn't help it. Can you bear to see two beautiful girls waiting for food?"

Xu Zhe chuckled: "I really want to see how you are waiting for food."

Tang Lingfei rolled her eyes at him and was too busy eating to talk much.

Song Xingye praised: "Feifei said you can cook and the food is delicious...but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"

Xu Zhe smiled: "It's just average, worse than my dad."

Song Xingye: "So, did you learn cooking from your father?"

Xu Zhe didn't want to explain too much, so he just said, "That's right."

Song Xingye picked up another chopstick of fish-flavored shredded pork and couldn't help but sigh: "You have such good academic performance and you are so good at cooking. It's really amazing."

Xu Zhe smiled and lowered his head to eat the vegetables.

Although he has received praise from teachers and parents many times since his rebirth, he is still a little at a loss when faced with such words.In contrast, he is more accustomed to online communication, whether it is flattering or exchanging insults.

After all, if you are communicating online, just throw an emoji at this time.But in reality, if he still has to use his brain to think about how to respond, it would be a little troublesome for him.

And he has no experience in how to deal with young people of the opposite sex.

Tang Lingfei: "Little Ye Zi, let me tell you, don't look at him now and usually acting like a cool adult, in fact, there are some parts of him that haven't grown up yet!"

Xu Zhe had a black line on his forehead: "...What are you talking about?"

The next moment, the girl's simple words let him know that he was the only one who had thought too much just now.

Tang Lingfei: "Let me tell you."

Xu Zhe sighed: "Can we talk about something else besides height? You are only one or two centimeters taller than me."

"It's not just height, it's also muscles!" Tang Lingfei put down her chopsticks and raised her right hand to show off her biceps.Of course, she was already very thin, and she was wearing long-sleeved clothes, so no muscles could be seen at all.

Xu Zhe: "..." Tang Lingfei: "I can't just eat a few of your meals in vain. If someone bullies you again in the future, I will help you stand up!"

Xu Zhe joked: "Such as high school students robbing Taoists?"

Tang Lingfei said seriously: "Let's test our wrists. I think I'm really good at sports."

Xu Zhe shrugged and continued eating.

Tang Lingfei: "Come and try it!"

Xu Zhe: "Arm wrestling?"

"Correct!"

Seeing the girl's excited look, Xu Zhe suddenly became a little more interested.In his opinion, he is a boy after all, so how can he be afraid of a little girl when he is competing in strength?

However, after less than ten seconds, he was stunned.

In the first round of the arm wrestling match between Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei, there was a stalemate for a while, and then his hand was overpowered.

Tang Lingfei raised her hands high, as if she had just won an important game: "Look, look, I'm just saying, I'm great! If you need sister's help in the future, just ask."

Xu Zhe: "...Okay, I really should have a fitness plan."

Looking back on the nearly two months since his rebirth, besides dealing with schoolwork, his mind was basically focused entirely on the computer.Although his body was not seriously injured like in his previous life, he was still relatively thin among boys of the same age.

Your body is very important. You can't really let yourself become a sub-healthy person.

Xu Zhe took another look at Tang Lingfei, who was feeling very proud at the moment.This girl is a typical child who plays and runs around like crazy. It's normal for a child like this who can't sit still all day long to be in better health.

He suddenly said: "There's no need to protect me. Can you wash the dishes later?"

Tang Lingfei's face froze: "Huh? Uh..."

Xu Zhe: "I've cooked all the food. Classmate Song Xingye is a guest, and this is your home."

Tang Lingfei couldn't find any reason to evade, so she could only nod reluctantly.

Song Xingye asked: "Are we going to the bookstore later?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "You go ahead, the new books I bought are waiting for me to read."

----

In the afternoon, when Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye went to the bookstore to read youth literature again, Xu Zhe did go home and read.

But he read in a way that no one expected.

When Xu Guowei accidentally opened the door to his son's room, he saw the boy lying on the bed, his body upright. At first glance, he looked like he was doing push-ups.But unlike push-ups, he supported his own weight with his elbows and feet, and did not move, just holding himself straight.

Moreover, a heavy book was spread out in front of Xu Zhe.

Xu Guowei couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhe was still exerting force in his abdomen at this time, so he gritted his teeth when he answered: "Read a book."

"Why this posture?"

Xu Zhe finally relaxed and lay down on his side, then gasped and said: "Do plank support and read a book at the same time. This is the most efficient use of time."

Just two sentences, but as a father, he didn't know how to evaluate it.Xu Guowei picked up the book and took a look at it again. The title of "In-depth Understanding of C++" and the content of the text that he casually turned to made him speechless.

After a long silence, Xu Guowei could only say: "It's good to study hard, but don't be too... too exaggerated. Can you understand such a profound thing?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Xu Guowei looked unbelieving.
