Time flies by day by day.


    In the monthly exam at the end of May, Xiang Nan scored 630 points, ranking fifth in the class.


    Such good results also make teachers and parents very satisfied.


    In fact, he could have scored more than 740 points, close to the perfect score. However, after Xiang Nan thought about it, he decided to be cautious first.


    After all, Chen Xun''s usual score is around 580, ranking among the top ten in the class.


    ??It would be too eye-catching if you get perfect scores all at once, and you might even be suspected of cheating. Therefore, it is better to slowly improve your scores, first to above 600 points, and then slowly to above 700 points.


    Anyway, there are still two years until the college entrance examination, which is enough for him to slowly improve.


    …


    Since Xiang Nan stopped playing basketball, his fans suddenly decreased a lot.


    ?This was also what he expected.


    He knows that many girls chase celebrities. In fact, it is not because they like the celebrity much, but mainly because they want to follow the trend.


    When the popularity of that star subsided, many fans who followed the trend immediately switched.


    ?This is not strange at all in the entertainment industry, and it is certainly not strange on campus.


    Xiang Nan thinks this is better to avoid so many rotten peach blossoms.


    …


    As of June, the five-person group''s relationship is still good.


    ?Although Lin Jiamo completely forgot about Xiang Nan after drinking Wangchuan water. But she is outgoing, cheerful, enthusiastic and generous, and it is easy to make friends.


    So after a few days, I became familiar with Xiang Nan.


    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 got her attention first and got her attention more than before, which naturally made him very happy.


    …


    As we enter June, it will soon be Xiang Nan’s birthday.


    The five-person team is ready to help him celebrate.


    Fang Hui helped him prepare birthday gifts very carefully.


    Zhao Ye and Qiao Ran also thought of many ideas and prepared to celebrate their birthdays in a lively way.


    Xiang Nan is very grateful for this.


    Finally, everyone decided to celebrate Xiang Nan’s birthday at Qiao Ran’s house.


    ?? Qiao Ran lives alone, it is easier to get in and out, and no matter how violent the trouble is, no parents will intervene.


    Going to Xiang Nan''s house, there is no such convenience.


    …


    The birthday happened to be on a Saturday. Xiang Nan came to Qiao Ran''s house at noon and brought two large bags of ingredients.


    “What is this for?” Qiao Ran asked doubtfully.


    "Of course it''s cooking. Can''t we just let everyone drink Coke and eat cake?" Xiang Nan explained.


    “But, can you cook it? I can’t cook it.” Qiao Ran looked at the two big bags of ingredients. There were fish and meat. It was not easy to make them.


    ?His father died when he was thirteen, and his mother then went to England, leaving him alone in the capital. He wanted to learn to cook but no one taught him, so he ate at restaurants outside the community most of the time.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll do it myself.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    "Can you do it?" Qiao Ran asked doubtfully after hearing this.


    "Let''s wait and see." Xiang Nan said proudly, then went into the kitchen and started working.


    ?At about five o''clock, Zhao Ye, Fang Hui, and Lin Jiamo arrived one after another.


    "Ah, why is it you?" Zhao Ye couldn''t help but asked curiously when he saw Xiang Nan working in the kitchen.


    "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.


    “It’s amazing, Chen Xun, you can also cook?” Lin Jiamo said curiously when she saw this scene.


    “That’s right.” Xiang Nan smiled. "Can the food you cook be eaten?" Lin Jiamo asked again worriedly.


    “If it doesn’t taste good on your tongue later, I’ll consider me a failure in cooking.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    …


    At six o''clock, the meal is officially served.


    “Hey, it looks decent.” Qiao Ran looked at the dishes on the table.


    ?Chicken, fish, and meat are all clearly distinguished, unlike some people''s fried vegetables, which are a dark mass and cannot be distinguished clearly.


    “Well, it smells good too.” Zhao Ye sniffed it and said, “Well, it smells good~”


    "Let me try it~" Lin Jiamo picked up a piece of beef tenderloin, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her eyes widened with joy, "Well, this tastes really good, delicious!"


    Xiang Nan laughed when he saw this.


    His cooking skills are not outstanding.


    He first inherited Xu Wenchang''s cooking skills, and then lived in Changzhou and Guangdong for decades in the world of "Sword Rain", where he learned 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 "Eternal Dragon Sword", he has been an emperor for decades and has a considerable understanding of palace cuisine.


    ?Hence, in terms of cooking skills, even a super chef cannot compare to him.


    “Okay, let’s blow out the candles first~” Zhao Ye said with a smile.


    Fang Hui nodded, lit the candles on the cake, and then everyone sang together, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."


    Xiang Nan made a wish silently, and then burned the candle in one breath.


    Send carefully prepared gifts to everyone.


    Zhao Ye presented a tape of Dou Wei, Qiao Ran presented a Spalding basketball, Lin Jiamo presented a set of Edifier headphones, and Fang Hui took out a small plastic piece.


    “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 to give me this?"


    Fang Hui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.


    In fact, she knew that Xiang Nan liked to play the piano and sing, so she planned to give him a guitar. After arriving at the guitar store, she found out 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.


    “It’s great, I like it very much.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    Seeing him say this, Fang Hui laughed.


    …


    After giving the gifts, everyone started to eat.


    And Xiang Nan''s cooking skills immediately conquered everyone.


    “I’ll go, this dish tastes great~”


    “Well, it’s delicious. I’ve never tasted such delicious food.”


    “This is stir-fried bean sprouts?! Stir-fried bean sprouts can produce this flavor? It’s incredible.”


    "Okay, Chen Xun, how can you learn this skill? I think you are good enough to be a chef."


    Everyone had a great time eating.


    Xiang Nan felt a little proud when he saw this.


    ?It is not in vain that he can make everyone eat so happily.


    After eating and drinking, everyone fell down on the sofa with satisfaction, everyone was full of food.


    “Chen Xun, your food is so delicious. In all my years, this is the first time I feel so good after eating it~” Zhao Ye said, touching his belly and feeling full.


    “Look at your potential.” Qiao Ran smiled.


    “It’s not that Zhao Ye has no future, the main reason is that Chen Xun’s cooking is so delicious that even I have lost my ladylike demeanor.” Lin Jiamo said with a smile.


    “Yeah.” Fang Hui nodded.


    In fact, her mother''s cooking is also very delicious, but compared with Xiang Nan, it is really heaven and earth.
