When Tang Lingfei finished writing this in the diary, she paused.

There are some things that I can't figure out even after thinking for a long time, but as soon as I put pen to paper, it seems that I have written them down clearly.

Just then the cell phone rang.

Tang Lingfei slammed her notebook shut before she realized that she didn't actually need to do that.

When she answered the call, she heard Song Xingye's voice:

"Feifei, are you still awake?"

"Not yet, what about you?"

"I'm already lying on the bed, but I can't sleep."

After just a few sentences, Tang Lingfei suddenly felt that the relationship between her and Xiao Ye seemed to have become a little distant.

The best friend on the other end of the phone seemed to realize this, and both of them were silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Tang Lingfei couldn't help but say, "What we have agreed to today is to postpone it, right? But what about the future? We can't keep putting it off, right?"

Song Xingye: "Actually, I've been thinking about this as well. How about I confess my feelings to him after we finish the college entrance exam?"

Tang Lingfei: "What if I have to repeat the year?"

Song Xingye complained: "Xu Zhe definitely doesn't need to repeat his studies! I probably don't need it either. As for you, Feifei...if you still need to repeat your studies at that time, don't blame me for being rude!"

Tang Lingfei was startled: "Why are you rude?"

Song Xingye: "When I apply for college entrance exams, I will first ask Xu Zhe where he wants to apply, and try to be with him. If we can't be in the same school, we can be in the same city. Then, if you need to repeat a year, I will have a year to spend time with him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tang Lingfei imagined the scene and said through gritted teeth, "I definitely won't repeat the year!"

Song Xingye said with a smile: "That's great, it would be best if none of us need to repeat the year, and then let Xu Zhe choose by himself before going to college... Hehe, but who knows, maybe by then one of us will have changed his mind."

Tang Lingfei: "Will you change your mind?"

Song Xingye: "I don't know. Who can say for sure what will happen in a few years?"

Tang Lingfei couldn't help but question: "If you can't say for sure, then why are you putting it off until after the college entrance exam? It really feels like it's taking so long. We're only halfway through junior high school, and we still have three years left in high school!"

Song Xingye smiled bitterly and said, "But Xu Zhe himself said that he didn't want to consider it before going to college."

Tang Lingfei was immediately speechless.

After a while of silence, Song Xingye whispered, "So we agreed that we should study hard in the next few years and not worry about who he likes. He won't choose anyone anyway. We can confess our love after we graduate from the college entrance examination. Then, how about you accept the defeat?"

"Okay, I'll admit defeat!"

Having said that, Tang Lingfei felt unwilling to admit defeat. She realized that she and Xu Zhe had known each other for such a long time, their families lived so close to each other, and even their parents were so familiar with each other, so how could she possibly lose?

Even if Xu Zhe is still hesitant at that time, I can take advantage of my proximity and take him down in advance with all the convenient conditions!

The friend on the other end of the phone didn't seem to know what she was thinking, and kept saying, "Then let's make a deal. No one is allowed to play tricks or confess to Xu Zhe secretly."

Tang Lingfei: "It's a deal!"

Song Xingye: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Tang Lingfei smiled and said: "Hmph, you should go to bed early too. My mother said that you will not grow taller if you don't sleep enough. You are the shortest among the three of us -"

"Good night!" Song Xingye hung up the phone without waiting for her to finish.

"Tsk, are you so anxious? Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Tang Lingfei put down her phone and turned her attention back to her diary. She picked up her pen, opened the diary again, and returned to the page she had just written.

After biting the pen and thinking for a moment, she continued writing:

[Xiao Ye Zi and I didn't have an agreement this afternoon, but we just made it over the phone. We can't date in the entire middle school, we can only be ordinary friends. No, we weren't ordinary friends to begin with, we were childhood sweethearts. So Xiao Ye Zi is doomed to lose, how can she compete with her childhood sweetheart?]

At this point, although no specific arguments were listed, Tang Lingfei felt that his argument was very convincing, so his confidence increased greatly.

But then she felt a little guilty.

Knowing that he had all the advantages, he still made an agreement with Xiaoye that 'no one was allowed to play tricks'. Am I a bit bad?

Tang Lingfei couldn't help biting the pen again and fell into a dilemma.

----

On the other side, after Song Xingye hung up the phone, he did not put down the phone, but made another call.

She was looking for Xu Zhe.

After a few seconds, the call was connected and the girl said sweetly, "You are not asleep yet?"

Xu Zhe: "Oh, not yet, what's wrong?"

Song Xingye took several deep breaths and finally made the request: "Can I learn to cook from you?"

Xu Zhe's voice was confused: "Why do you want to learn this?"

Song Xingye explained quite naturally: "Because my parents are very busy now, they don't have time to cook at home. The restaurant that my mother paid for me to eat at is easy to get tired of. And you know, our family is not well-off now, and eating out is too expensive, so I was thinking, it would be great if I could learn how to cook by myself."

"Yes, but..."

Xu Zhe's voice was obviously hesitant.

If it were other boys in the class, they would probably agree to Song Xingye's request without hesitation. But the girl was helpless because she liked this stupid guy.

Song Xingye could only wait quietly for his response.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhe finally said, "Okay, but my time is really limited. I'm only free on weekends, and I don't have much free time."

Song Xingye said quickly, "It's okay, it's just lunch on Saturday and Sunday. I'll buy groceries in the morning, you teach me how to cook at noon, and then we'll eat together. After we're done, I'll wash the dishes and you can just do your own thing. This way, it won't take up too much of your time, right?"

Xu Zhe: “Okay.”

Song Xingye suddenly felt much more relaxed and asked with a smile, "Do you need me to pay for the tuition?"

Xu Zhe: "That's not necessary. Just think of it as my friendly assistance in teaching. Today is Saturday, so shall we start tomorrow?"

Song Xingye: "Okay! Oh, by the way, can you not tell Feifei about the fact that you taught me how to cook?"

Xu Zhe: "Why is that?"

----

I'll code one chapter when I get home from get off work, and the subsequent one is in the oven... In short, the time may be delayed, but the number of three meals a day will not change.

147. Chapter 147 146 The girl’s future plan

147.

2023-09-16

Xu Zhe could understand Song Xingye's suggestion that he teach cooking, but he didn't quite understand why he couldn't tell Tang Lingfei about it.

So he asked, "Why is this?"

Song Xingye: "Because I just started learning, it shouldn't be that easy to learn. But you also know Feifei's personality. If she knew about this, she would definitely ask me to make it for her. I don't want her to know before I learn it very well."

This explanation seemed reasonable, not only in line with Tang Lingfei's character, but also in line with Song Xingye's character.

From what Xu Zhe knew, he knew that this little classmate was a perfectionist and didn't like to be seen by others when she was awkward or clumsy. She had to learn something from scratch and had to master it thoroughly before showing it to others - this made sense.

So Xu Zhe did not doubt it, nor did he think deeply about it, but agreed: "Okay, when you feel you are proficient enough, you can tell her yourself."

Song Xingye: "Can you help me keep it a secret?"

Xu Zhe: "Are you going to hide this from everyone, including your parents?"

Song Xingye smiled gently: "That's not necessary, my parents should be able to hide it. But Feifei has other classmates, there is no need to tell them."

Xu Zhe: "Sure, no problem."

Song Xingye: "Thank you... It's getting late, so, good night?"

"Good night."

Xu Zhe was about to hang up the phone, but found that the other party hung up before him.

This gave him a feeling, like a cute little cat approaching him, meowing and letting him touch its head, then hopping away. Cute, yet a little reserved, making him feel a little itchy...

"Haha," Xu Zhe shook his head and expressed contempt for himself, "I'm just a junior high school girl, I just need to help. What's there to think about?"

He put down his phone and looked back at the laptop screen in front of him.

When picking clothes in the mall in the afternoon, Song Xingye's father, Song Huaifeng, was helping him with his work. Uncle Song posted a message online as Party A, recruiting game modelers, and even conducted video interviews one by one.

Although he had never made a game before, Song Huaifeng was a college student majoring in business and engineering, so he could understand Xu Zhe's requirements. As for the questions for the video interview, Xu Zhe had already prepared them. He only needed to read them and record the interview video and save it.

At this time, it was Xu Zhe's turn to check the resumes and interview videos of these candidates.

Considering the workload of this type of mobile game and the development cost he set, he only needed one modeler. But because there was only one, he had to be more selective.

Suddenly, Song Huaifeng sent a QQ message: [I heard from my wife that you and your family patronized my business? ]

Xu Zhe: [Did my mother buy clothes from Aunt Li? ]

Song Huaifeng: [Yes, she did, and my wife also said that she bought one that the store couldn’t sell.]

Xu Zhe couldn't help but laugh.

He had no doubt that what his mother liked must be the kind that others disliked and could not sell no matter what.

Then Xu Zhe said: "It doesn't matter, if my mom likes it, I'll buy it. And when I bought clothes today, Aunt Li and classmate Xingye helped me a lot, so I should thank them."

This time, it took nearly half a minute for Song Huaifeng to reply: [I found that I still have a lot to learn in order to understand the whole process of making games. You are busy, I will take a look at the materials you gave me.]

Xu Zhe sent an OK emoticon, closed the conversation window, and continued to look at the resumes of the candidate modelers.

----

After finishing the call with Xu Zhe, Song Xingye sat on the edge of the bed, in a daze.

Her mood is very complicated.

In the past two years, Song Xingye felt that there were two forces supporting him. One was friendship, and the other was the gradually awakening love. But today, the two forces seemed to suddenly separate, and the road ahead bent between the two and seemed to become rugged.

"I'm sorry, Feifei, but..."

The girl muttered to herself.

Of course, she couldn't give up the hard-earned friendship, but she couldn't give up the admiration and longing that was deeply buried in her heart.

There is no need to confess in advance, just keep deepening the relationship and building a stronger bond, that's enough.

"Either don't make a choice, or don't choose anyone other than me."

Talking to herself, the girl's gaze became more determined.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Song Xingye suddenly came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

The voice of mother Li Caixia came from outside the door: "Are you asleep? I want to talk to you."

"Okay, I'm not asleep yet."

So Li Caixia entered the small bedroom, closed the door, and sat down at the end of the bed.

The mother and daughter looked at each other quietly for a long time. The atmosphere was a little subtle, because Song Xingye had already vaguely guessed what her mother wanted to talk about, and Li Caixia also knew that her daughter should be able to guess it.

Suddenly, Li Caixia said, "You have been a very serious child since you were young, and your parents don't need to worry about you. But I think that because you are too serious, once people worry about you, it will be a real worry."

Song Xingye blinked: "What do you mean?"

Li Caixia: "Don't act stupid in front of me. You like Xu Zhe, right?"

Song Xingye hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Li Caixia continued, "So far, your love for him has not affected your studies, but what about in the future? I have also been through your age, and I know that love between boys and girls is too involved. How many people can remain unaffected and continue to study hard?"

Song Xingye immediately grasped the point: "Mom, what you are most worried about is my study."

Li Caixia shook her head: "It's not just about studying, I'm also worried about your mental state. I'm worried that you're stuck too deep, you're still so young..."

Song Xingye interrupted, "Wouldn't it be possible to get deeply involved in a relationship in your twenties? If you lose your mind, it will be a big problem no matter how old you are. Just like my dad, he got deeply involved in something at the age of forty, and it almost caused a big problem. No matter how old you are, whether it's because of love or something else, losing your mind is terrible."

Li Caixia was slightly startled. She found that her daughter's tone at this time seemed a bit like that of the same person.

Song Xingye paused for a moment before continuing, "I won't lose my mind. Besides, think about it, Mom. When Xu Zhe graduates from high school in a few years, what kind of school will he go to?"
