Quit constantly

Fang Shizhuo was indeed a little hungry.

He originally planned to cook something for Xu Yin when he got home from tutoring as usual, but the lunch meal was not to his liking, and he ate so little that he was hungry now.

Xu Yin was fine, he just wanted to have dinner with the teacher.

"I'll go and see what's in the refrigerator." He said, drinking two cups of warm water, and then took out a pack of potato chips and biscuits from the box, "Teacher, eat some if you're hungry."

Not allowing Fang Shizhuo to refuse, Xu Yin enthusiastically stuffed him with snacks.

Fang Shizhuo followed behind him with potato chips and biscuits in his arms, and also walked to the kitchen: "Do you usually cook by yourself?"

Xu Yin said: "I usually eat it at school, and I only make it myself on weekends."

As far as Fang Shizhuo knows, the current students are very poor in self-care ability, and the takeaway software is developed, and very few of them can cook by themselves.

He remembered the last time we went to the supermarket together, Xu Yin looked like he was shopping for vegetables, and he didn't pick any vegetables when he saw him. Fang Shizhuo doubted his cooking level very much.

The freezer is not big, so Xu Yin squatted down, looked at the only tomatoes and a few green leaves left in it, and said, "It seems that there is nothing left, why don't you order takeaway."

Fang Shizhuo seldom eats take-out. He thinks it is either too oily or too salty: "Are there any dried noodles? Just cook some noodles."

"There are also instant noodles." Xu Yin remembered, "Let me cook the instant noodles."

Sure enough, he shouldn't have high expectations.

"Teacher, don't look at me like that." Seeing that he looked depressed, Xu Yin said, "The instant noodles I cook are delicious."

It's not that Fang Shizhuo doesn't believe him, but that he doesn't believe in instant noodles.The last time I ate instant noodles was when I didn’t resign from my last job, and I often worked overtime for a while, so I could only eat instant noodles to satisfy my hunger.

But to be honest, he really doesn't like the greasy taste of the stuffing inside.

Moreover, is there any technical content required to cook instant noodles?

Xu Yin naturally saw his doubts, but refused to give in: "Try it later and you'll know."

Fang Shizhuo was pushed out of the kitchen by him.

But he is the kind of person who can't take time off, not to mention that there is no reason for a student to cook for the teacher in the kitchen.He put down the snacks and water glass in his hand, and went back to help.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xu Yin thought about it and gave him the simplest job: "Then help me boil the water."

Fang Shizhuo felt that he was simply underestimating himself. After all, he was also in his late thirties. Could it be that he couldn't cook better than Xu Yin?

He boiled water and took the initiative to wash the vegetables.As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, Xu Yin snatched it from him: "I'll do it."

Fang Shizhuo is full of skills but useless, a little unconvinced: "I still know how to wash the dishes."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yin said, "The water is very cold."

The water in winter is freezing, and there is no water heater in the kitchen. Fang Shizhuo's hands are so beautiful and important, he is reluctant to part with them.

In just two seconds of being dazed, Fang Shizhuo saw his fair and slender joints turn red from the ice.

He was moved for a moment: "Your injury is not healed yet, pay attention."

Xu Yin looked up at him, then smiled when he lowered his head again.

Obviously the injury was on the arm, and the hand was frozen, so there was nothing to do with it, but he made a point of expressing his concern for him.

Fortunately, there are not many vegetables, so they will be washed quickly.

The kitchen was narrow, and the two adults seemed a bit crowded. Fang Shizhuo didn't have the space to show it, so he gave up and stood aside and looked at him.

Xu Yin drained the water from the vegetables, put the tomatoes on the cutting board and cut them into slices.

"Careful to cut your hands." Fang Shizhuo reminded.

But he soon realized that his worries were unnecessary, because Xu Yin's chopping movements were simply more skilled than him.

The water boiled in the pot, and the steaming heat added a touch of warmth to the kitchen.

Xu Yin smoothly put the prepared ingredients into the pot.

Soon the aroma wafted through his nostrils, and two bowls of boiled noodles appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.

There is no greasy soup as imagined, and there is no inferior taste of the package. The taste is very unexpected.

"How is it?" Xu Yin asked with stars shining in his eyes.

Fang Shizhuo tasted the noodle, and it was also very chewy, so he commented: "Not bad."

Just such an evaluation made Xu Yin very satisfied: "I'll just say it."

Seeing his good cooking skills, Fang Shizhuo asked curiously: "What do you eat at home on weekends? You can only cook instant noodles, right?"

"I can also stir-fry vegetables, but there are not many. Instant noodles are the best." Xu Yin said, "Next time the teacher comes, I will cook other delicious things for the teacher."

If he didn't say it, Fang Shizhuo would have almost forgotten the purpose of coming here. He is here for class, not for dinner!

But I have to admit that the noodles cooked by Xu Yin are really delicious.

At least it tastes better than what he cooks.

They sat facing each other at the table.Fang Shizhuo took a sip of the soup, a little distracted.

Besides his parents, the person who had dinner with him last time was Ding Mengyu.

Xue Yuan seldom came to his house as a guest, and he always ate outside, without such a warm environment.Parents seldom come here, the last time I went to his place, at least half a year ago.

Usually Fang Shizhuo is alone, after get off work, home, cooking, washing dishes.

It's not lonely, but it seems good to be with someone.

"Teacher, do you like soft-boiled eggs?" Xu Yin asked.

Fang Shizhuo was interrupted by him and withdrew his thoughts.

What was he thinking, he just sat and had a meal with Xu Yin!

"What did you just say?"

"Teacher, what are you thinking so obsessively?" Xu Yin had already finished his portion, looked at him with his head propped up and said, "Obviously people are eating with me, but my mind has already gone away."

Fang Shizhuo could only talk nonsense, "It's about work."

Xu Yin asked thoughtfully: "Then do I count as part of the job?"

Fang Shizhuo didn't understand what he meant, so he thought about it for a while and said, "It's okay."

"Does what the teacher thought just now have something to do with me?"

Fang Shizhuo was choked and speechless for a moment.

"Actually, there is a question that I have always been curious about." Xu Yin asked, "May I ask?"

"You ask."

Xu Yin said: "There are several students in the class who are worse than me in math. Why doesn't the teacher care about them as much as I care about them?"

Fang Shizhuo didn't speak.

He then asked: "You can obviously ignore me, why are you willing to spend so much time on me?"

Fang Shizhuo was really caught by his question.

yeah why?

Even he himself didn't know why.

Obviously, these are not necessary to do, he is just one of his many students, he can treat him like other students, as long as he fulfills the duties that a teacher should have.

After all, not every student can be taken care of.

But he was willing to do all this for Xu Yin.

"Because you took a break from studying for two years." Fang Shizhuo said after a moment of silence, "If you are not admitted to the ideal school because of your poor math performance, what are you going to do?"

"Repeat for another year? Or forcefully go to a school you don't like?" He asked Xu Yin, "Are you willing to do that?"

"Others still have time, but you don't."

His words hurt, but they were realistic.He didn't want Xu Yin to leave such regrets.

This was Fang Shizhuo's answer to Xu Yin, and it was also the reason he found for himself.

Only in this way can it seem to justify its illogical behavior.

Xu Yin looked at him, instead of being angry, his eyes were full of emotion.

"Then I also have a question to ask." Fang Shizhuo said bluntly, "Why did you drop out of school?"

Xu Yin looked away, erratic, looking a little unspeakable.

"Physical reasons," he said.

"This head teacher told me." Fang Shizhuo asked, "But I want to know what the specific physical reason is."

Xu Yin was silent for a few seconds, did not answer, but asked: "Teacher was distracted just now, was he thinking about this?"

Fang Shizhuo denied: "No."

"Because of a broken bone in a car accident, I can only suspend school first."

"Then take a two-year break?"

Xu Yin said: "After treatment, I took a lot of hormone drugs and became fat and ugly, so I didn't want to go to school."

Fang Shizhuo couldn't laugh or cry: "The appearance is more important than the exam?"

Xu Yin looked a little depressed, and said honestly: "The exam is important, and I didn't understand it at that time."

"It's not too late now."
