Chapter 59 059 It’s always been quiet
That night, Song Xingye called Tang Lingfei again and talked about the romance novels he had read recently.While chatting, Tang Lingfei talked about other topics.

"Did you know that Xu Zhe can also play billiards!"

Song Xingye couldn't help but be stunned: "Playing... billiards?"

Tang Lingfei on the other end of the phone said enthusiastically: "Yes, I went with him to celebrate the birthday of a friend of his. That friend's name is Wen Hao, you should know."

Song Xingye: "I know, he's from our class. He does have a good relationship with Xu Zhe... But, playing billiards? Why do they go to the billiards hall?"

Tang Lingfei: "Because it's fun. In fact, Wen Hao also went there for the first time. It was another friend of his named Sun who took us there. But it was particularly interesting. The guy named Sun said he wanted to play billiards. In the end, he couldn’t beat Xu Zhe!”

Song Xingye: "Xu Zhe has been to the billiard hall?"

Tang Lingfei: "He has only been there once, but he has already played better than others."

Song Xingye: "It's amazing...but that kind of place is not suitable for me even if I think about it."

Tang Lingfei: "Because Xiao Zizi is a good student."

Song Xingye: "Isn't Xu Zhe also a good student?"

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "He is different."

"Yes, he is different..."

Song Xingye murmured softly, not sure whether he was echoing or talking to himself.

----

At eleven o'clock in the night, Xu Zhe's cell phone rang.

He put down the book in his hand, took it over and saw that the caller ID was Song Xingye.

Why are you calling so late?
With this question in mind, Xu Zhe answered the call, and then heard the girl's calm voice:

"Except for math and composition, I have finished all my winter vacation homework. Do you want to take it for 'reference'?"

Xu Zhe immediately said, "Okay, I'll go find you tomorrow."

Song Xingye said softly: "I promised you to help you with your winter vacation homework because you said you would seriously prepare for the Mathematical Olympiad and study the mathematics of the second and third grade of junior high school by yourself... But I heard Feifei say that you didn't seem to study today? "

Xu Zhe's tone was still very natural: "Because today is Wen Hao's birthday. But even if I am playing with them during the day, I am also reading and studying at night."

Song Xingye expressed doubt: "Really?"

Xu Zhe said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, just download a set of simulation papers for the high school mathematics entrance exam on the Internet and let me write it for you on the spot."

Song Xingye: "Forget it, I'm not a teacher, why are you testing you..."

Xu Zhe could tell that the girl seemed to be in a low mood.Thinking about it from his perspective, it was normal. He called Tang Lingfei when celebrating his birthday with his friend, but did not call her. After all, Song Xingye was very quiet and even a bit withdrawn in his impression. It seemed inappropriate to participate in a gathering of unfamiliar friends.Unlike Tang Lingfei, she can liven up the atmosphere even if she is not familiar with her.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I cook you a meal and treat it as a reward for lending me homework. How about that?"

Song Xingye said in astonishment: "You... cook for me?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes. My parents will not be here tomorrow. You can come here before noon and you can order now. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

When talking about this topic, the girl's voice suddenly became less quiet, and became a little more excited:

"Let me think about it... what is that dish called? By the way, fish-flavored shredded pork!"

Xu Zhe: "No problem, is there anything else?"

Song Xingye: "I forgot, what did you cook when you cooked for me and Feifei last time?"

Xu Zhe: "That happened a few days ago, and I don't remember it. Try some fresh dishes. Just tell me, what kind of taste do you like? Sweet and sour? Salty and fresh?"

Song Xingye asked curiously: "Sour and sweet taste means sour and sweet, right? What does salty and delicious taste mean?" Xu Zhe: "It's mainly salty with a little umami. Okay, don't let me To explain what umami is, these words can’t be explained one by one. Anyway, you will know what those flavors mean after you have eaten them.”

Song Xingye: "Then you decide. Feifei said she just likes to eat meat. I'm not as picky as her. I can eat meat, fish, and vegetables. I just don't like too spicy food."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, I'll decide. See you tomorrow?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Yeah, see you tomorrow!"

----

At 11:30 the next morning, Song Xingye knocked on Xu Zhe's door.

When he opened the door, he saw the girl unloading the bag on her back, holding the school bag and saying, "I brought my meal ticket."

Xu Zhe turned sideways to let her in and asked casually, "Are you the only one?"

Song Xingye asked, "Who else could it be?"

Xu Zhe: "I thought you would ask Feifei to come with you."

The girl blinked: "She didn't tell me until she finished playing yesterday, so I'll tell her after I finish playing today."

Xu Zhe: "...What a good bestie. Do you want to watch TV?"

Song Xingye: "Okay, thank you."

He turned and walked into the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.After the phone call last night, he checked the refrigerator. There were vegetables and meat in it, so there was no need to go to the vegetable market today and he could just start cooking directly.

Even if no one comes over today, he still wants to cook something delicious at home.One more person means one more dish, which is just right.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, ground three delicacies, and green onion-roasted tofu—these three dishes were served on the table at noon.

The rice in the rice cooker is also ready.Song Xingye took the initiative to grab the bowls and chopsticks and put the rice on the table.

Then the two sat down opposite each other at the dining table and started using chopsticks.

Song Xingye suddenly said: "I've always been curious, why is your rice different from mine?"

Xu Zhe: "What's different?"

Song Xingye lowered his head and stared at the faintly shining rice in the bowl, wondering: "I don't know what to say, but I just feel that it tastes better than the rice I have eaten before. Is it because the rice you bought is different?" "

Xu Zhe: "They are all rice bought in supermarkets, so there should be no difference."

Song Xingye: "Then why..."

Xu Zhe picked up a piece of tofu and said, "Maybe it's because I have to soak the rice for a while before cooking, and then add a little bit of oil when cooking."

Song Xingye: "So that's it. I'm going to tell my parents when I go back and let them try it too."

Xu Zhe nodded, said nothing, and ate leisurely.

Song Xingye was also quiet for a while.

Facing the food cooked by Xu Zhe, she moved her chopsticks very quickly, but she was not like Tang Lingfei who ate recklessly regardless of her image.Although she enjoyed eating very much, Song Xingye always maintained the attitude of Xiaojiabiyu.

It was quiet at the dinner table, but both of them seemed to be used to it, as if they were reading and studying separately in the classroom.

This atmosphere made Song Xingye feel at ease.
