After hearing Song Zhi's words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Tang Junhe nervously, and only after making sure that he didn't hear their conversation did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing linked their arms and laughed in unison.
"Let's go wash our hands."
The two said in unison.
As soon as he finished speaking, he put oil on his feet and ran away quickly.
Song Zhi looked at them fleeing in panic and his expression became even more helpless.
Fortunately, the two washed their hands, changed into clean clothes, and then came out again.
Song Zhi hurriedly handed the two divided books on the table to them and said, "These are the textbooks for all subjects in the two years of high school that he helped us borrow. We will start reviewing next."
When they heard that Tang Junhe had helped find these books, they hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, Officer Tang."
Tang Junhe smiled and said it was okay.
He could naturally see that they were obviously a little uncomfortable with him being there, so he didn't say much.
At this time, Ran Qiu came out of the kitchen and called everyone into the house to eat: "The meal is ready, come in and eat."
During dinner, because there was an extra person named Tang Junhe at the table, everyone held their own bowls and silently ate the food in their bowls. The atmosphere at the table was particularly quiet.
Ran Qiu specially made braised pork and stewed potatoes tonight, and also killed a fish the other day and made a carp and tofu soup.
These are the dishes that Song Zhi usually likes to eat.
Ran Qiu’s cooking skills are really good. The braised pork and potatoes are stewed until very soft and tender, and the sweetness is just right. The soft and glutinous potatoes are full of gravy and taste even better than the meat.
The carp and tofu soup is even more delicious. He didn’t add any other seasonings, just a little salt, so the fish soup retains its original freshness and sweetness.
Even Tang Junhe praised sincerely after taking a bite: "Teacher Ran's cooking skills are really good."
Hearing his praise, Ran Qiu smiled lightly and explained calmly: "Officer Tang, you are too kind. It's just because I live alone and have three children, so I have gradually developed this skill without realizing it."
"Ran Qiu, don't be so modest. The food you cook is really delicious. I think it's comparable to the chefs in the restaurants in town."
Song Zhi took a bite of the braised pork and praised it as well.
Hearing her words, the smile on Ran Qiu's face increased a little more, and he just said: "As long as you like it, you can come here often in the future."
Song Zhi nodded happily and said, "Okay, but you have to charge me for my food. If it's free, I won't be able to come here often."
Although Ran Qiu's family conditions have improved a lot because Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing are still renting a room, he still has three children to support after all, and Song Zhi is embarrassed to come here and eat and drink for free.
"If you insist on paying for food, forget it."
Ran Qiu looked at her seriously.
Seeing his serious expression, Song Zhi thought of his character and finally compromised.
"Okay, okay, free ones are even better!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ran Qiu's face again.
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing, who were watching the show nearby, saw this scene and secretly laughed along.
When they looked up, they found that Tang Junhe had a dark face and a cold look in his eyes. They both felt a chill on their backs and the smiles on their faces froze.
But Song Zhi hadn't noticed anything yet. She turned her head and saw that the two people who were usually noisy were unusually quiet today. She asked curiously.
"Why are you so quiet today? Not even talking?"
The two of them secretly looked at Tang Junhe. Seeing his unhappy expression, they didn't dare to say anything. They just said, "We are too hungry."
After saying that, he immediately lowered his head and kept eating, for fear of bringing disaster to these two poor little fish in the pond.
Song Zhi looked at the speed at which they ate their rice and thought that they must be really hungry. They even ate rice with afterimages.
After finishing their meal and clearing away the dishes, Ran Qiu called the three little ones into the house to recite their lessons.
Song Zhi sent Tang Junhe to the gate of the courtyard.
"I won't send you off. Be careful on your way back."
Tang Junhe nodded quietly.
The light in the room just happened to shine on her, coating her whole body with a layer of soft light, making her skin look even whiter and more flawless. Looking at her face which looked even more beautiful after losing weight, Tang Junhe felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
Obviously her facial features have not changed much from before, but now she looks different from before. There is less childishness and more gentleness between her eyebrows.
He had indeed never considered Song Zhi as a woman before, but only as a little sister who grew up with him.
I don’t know if it’s because of the kind of relationship they had that day.
He always dreamed of her. Every time he woke up from the dream in a sweat and thought of the scene that day, he found it increasingly difficult to regard Song Zhi as his sister.
Now in his eyes, Song Zhi is just a woman, a woman with whom he had a relationship.
Thinking of the scene at the dinner table just now.
As a man, he could naturally see through Ran Qiu's little thoughts.
Thinking that Song Zhi had lived with him for several months, the unspeakable depression in his heart became even stronger.
He looked at Song Zhi and suddenly asked, "Did Ran Qiu do anything to you?"
Hearing this suddenly, Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. She frowned and looked at Tang Junhe in confusion.
Why would he say such strange things?
She looked at him angrily, feeling that his words humiliated both Ran Qiu and herself.
What did he think they were?
"What do you want to say? Ran Qiu is a gentleman, a good person, and also a good teacher. He also takes good care of me. Don't say such things again in the future."
Song Zhi took a deep breath, thinking that Tang Junhe had just helped him, he suppressed his temper and looked at him seriously.
Hearing her unconditional defense of Ran Qiu, Tang Junhe's voice became even more muffled than before.
"Do you know him well? He clearly has some bad intentions and doesn't seem like a good person."
Hearing this, Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat. He looked at him warily, feeling extremely surprised.
Is Tang Junhe so sharp-eyed? Did he see through Ran Qiu's true face just like that?
But Ran Qiu has not done anything in his life. Although he did become a bad guy in his previous life, he is just an ordinary elementary school teacher now.
What on earth did Tang Junhe see that made him say such strange things?
Song Zhi calmed down, looked at Tang Junhe, and asked doubtfully, "Why are you doing this?"
