Time passed quickly day by day.
In the monthly exam at the end of May, Xiang Nan scored 630 points, ranking fifth in the class.
Such good grades also make teachers and parents very satisfied.
Actually, he could have scored more than 740 points in the exam, which is close to the full score. However, after thinking about it, Xiang Nan decided to be more cautious.
After all, Chen Xun's usual grades are around 580 points, ranking in the top ten of the class.
If you get a full score in the exam all at once, it will be too eye-catching, and there are suspicions of cheating. Therefore, it is better to improve the grades slowly, first raise to above 600 points, and then slowly get to above 700 points in the test.
Anyway, there are still two years before the college entrance examination, enough for him to improve slowly.
…
Since Xiang Nan stopped playing basketball, his little fans suddenly became much less.
This is also within his expectations.
He knows that many girls chase stars, but it’s not because they like the star so much, but mainly to follow suit.
And when the popularity of the star subsided, many fans who followed suit immediately turned.
This is not surprising in the entertainment industry, and it is not surprising in the campus.
Xiang Nan thinks it's better this way, so as to avoid so many rotten peach blossoms.
…
Entering June, the relationship between the five members is still good.
Although Lin Jiamo forgot about Xiang Nan after drinking Wangchuan water. But she is extroverted, cheerful, enthusiastic and generous, so it is easy to make friends.
So after a few days, I got acquainted with Xiang Nan.
And after she took her energy away from Xiang Nan, she had extra energy to focus on other people around her.
In this way, Zhao Ye had the advantage of being close to the water and got her attention better than before, which naturally made him very happy.
…
Entering June, it will soon be Xiang Nan's birthday.
The gang of five is ready to help him celebrate.
Fang Hui carefully helped him prepare birthday presents.
Zhao Ye and Qiao Ran also thought of a lot of ideas, preparing to celebrate their birthday lively.
For this, Xiang Nan is very grateful.
Finally, everyone decided to celebrate Xiang Nan's birthday at Qiao Ran's house.
Qiao Ran lives alone, it is more convenient to get in and out, and no matter how violent the disturbance is, no parents will intervene.
Going to Xiang Nan's house does not have this convenience.
…
Birthday happened to be Saturday, so Xiang Nan came to Qiao Ran's house at noon and brought two big bags of ingredients.
"What is this for?" Qiao Ran asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's cooking. Can't we just let everyone drink Coke and eat cake?" Xiang Nan explained.
"But, what do you know, I can't do it." Qiao Ran looked at the two big bags of ingredients, including fish and meat, and it was not easy to make them.
When he was thirteen years old, his father died, and his mother went to England, leaving him alone in the capital. He wanted to learn how to cook but no one taught him, so most of the time, he ate in restaurants outside the community.
"Don't worry, I'll do it myself." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Are you okay?" Qiao Ran asked in doubt when he heard this.
"Just wait and see." Xiang Nan said proudly, then went into the kitchen and started to work.
After five o'clock, Zhao Ye, Fang Hui, and Lin Jiamo all arrived one after another.
"Ah, why is it you?" Seeing Xiang Nan busy in the kitchen, Zhao Ye asked curiously.
"Who am I?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Sit down first, and then we can start when everyone is here."
"Okay." Zhao Ye nodded.
"That is." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Then is the food you cook edible?" Lin Jiamo asked again worriedly.
"If you don't smell your tongue later, it will be considered a failure in my cooking." Xiang Nan laughed.
…
At six o'clock, the meal is officially served.
"Hey, it still looks decent." Qiao Ran looked at the dishes on the table.
Chicken, fish, and meat are all clearly separated, unlike some people's stir-fried dishes, which are black and can't distinguish anything.
"Well, it smells good too." Zhao Ye sniffed and said, "Well, it smells good~"
"I'll try it~" Lin Jiamo picked up a piece of beef tenderloin and chewed it in her mouth, her eyes widened happily, "Well, this taste is really good, delicious!"
Seeing this, Xiang Nan laughed.
His culinary skills are not Gade.
He first inherited Xu Wenchang's culinary skills, and then lived in Changzhou and Guangdong Province for decades in the world of "Sword Rain", learning the essence of Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.
In the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I learned the unique skill of cooking from Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island. In the world of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", he has been an emperor for decades, and has a considerable understanding of court cuisine.
So in terms of culinary skills, even a super chef is definitely not as good as him.
"Okay, let's blow out the candles first~" Zhao Ye laughed.
Fang Hui nodded, lit the candles on the cake, and then everyone sang together, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Xiang Nan silently made a wish, and then lit the candle in one breath.
Follow everyone and send well-prepared gifts.
Zhao Ye gave a roll of Dou Wei's tape, Qiao Ran gave a Spalding basketball, Lin Jiamo gave a pair of Edifier headphones, and Fang Hui took out a small piece of plastic.
"What is this?" Zhao Ye, Qiao Ran, and Lin Jiamo all asked curiously.
"This is a guitar pick." Xiang Nan recognized it at a glance, and then asked Fang Hui in surprise, "How did you know you gave me this?"
Fang Hui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Actually, she knew that Xiang Nan liked to play and sing, so she planned to give him a guitar. As a result, when she got to the guitar shop, she found out after inquiring that the little money she had saved was not enough to buy a guitar.
So I settled for the next best thing and bought this pick.
"That's great, I like it very much." Xiang Nan laughed.
Seeing what he said, Fang Hui laughed.
…
After giving the gifts, everyone began to eat.
And Xiang Nan's culinary skills immediately conquered everyone.
"I'm going, this dish tastes great~"
"Well, it's delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious dish."
"This is fried bean sprouts?! Can bean sprouts be fried to produce this taste? It's incredible."
"Okay, Chen Xun, how did you learn this skill? I think you are enough to be a chef."
Everyone had a great time eating.
When Xiang Nan saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
It can make everyone eat so happily, and it is not in vain for him to prepare carefully.
After eating and drinking, everyone fell on the sofa contentedly, and everyone was full of food.
"Chen Xun, your food is so delicious. I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have eaten so well~" Zhao Ye rubbed his stomach, pretending to be full.
"Look how promising you are." Qiao Ran laughed.
"It's not because Zhao Ye is worthless, it's because Chen Xun's cooking is so delicious that even I have lost my ladylike demeanor." Lin Jiamo laughed.
"Yes." Fang Hui nodded.
Actually, her mother’s cooking is also delicious, but compared with Xiang Nan, it’s really heaven and earth.
