Chapter 20
But Song Zhou spoke before him, “My house is too small, it would be inconvenient for two people.”
Xi Ning quickly changed his plan. “Then we can go to my house! I will let the driver pick you up tomorrow.”
He would give the cooking auntie a day off first tomorrow, and then think of a way to get Song Zhou to cook…… and maybe even make egg fried rice.
He still had some worries in his heart that he was mistreating Song Zhou too much, using him as a tool for food. Although he did have such a plan at the beginning.
The system felt nothing, after all, Song Zhou was just a BUG. “It’s okay master, the command that was added by the higher-ups, isn’t it meant for master to do?”
Xi Ning suddenly realized that after hearing what the system said and his burden became much lighter. He took the opportunity to exchange phone numbers and WeChat contacts with Song Zhou and planned to have the driver pick him up at the school gate at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.
After he saved Song Zhou’s phone number inside his phone, his face couldn’t hide the joy. Song Zhou suddenly said, “Are you feeling better now?”
Xi Ning looked up, only to realize that, since they were exchanging each other’s phone numbers with their mobile phones just now, they had gotten very close to each other. Song Zhou’s deep voice seemed to echo right next to his ears.
He stepped back unconsciously. “Y-Yeah…I feel better now.”
A small smile emerged from the corner of Song Zhou’s mouth as he was clearing his desk while sitting.
Not many people were in the classroom. Song Zhou quickly packed his things and left. Xi Ning glanced at his back when Song Zhou left. He stayed in his seat and muttered alone: ”Why do I feel a little weird……”
“Why is it weird,” The system is puzzled. “There isn’t any mission instruction at the moment?”
Xi Ning was too lazy to explain and went home with his backpack.
Xiao CongYi did not need to go to class on the weekend this week, but Xi Ning heard on the phone that it seemed like he had something to do and would go out with his classmates tomorrow.
After Xi Ning finished his homework at night, he quietly went downstairs to find the cooking auntie.
“My brother will be away at noon tomorrow, and I don’t want to eat at home. Auntie, you can go home and rest after you finish preparing breakfast tomorrow.”
The cooking auntie who was in charge of cooking didn’t think much about it. She agreed to it and asked Xi Ning, “Second Young Master, do you still want porridge for tonight? Ah, you will hurt your body like this if you always eat porridge for dinner, you have to eat more..…”
She was one of the servants of the Xiao family, so she had no right to tell Xi Ning what to do. She can only try to persuade him to eat more. Although Xiao Ning was not her own child, she felt distressed when she saw Xiao Ning eat so little every day.
Xi Ning was unable to say anything about the 8 hours punishment that he received, which was not over yet, so he couldn’t eat at all. “No need, Auntie, I already ate before I came back.”
He thought for a while. “Make a little food for tomorrow morning. I want to have porridge tomorrow.”
The cooking auntie nodded. “Okay.”
He felt okay when it was not mentioned, but now Xi Ning felt hungry after he talked about eating. However, he felt nauseous even just drinking some water now.
He lay weakly on the bed, trying to endure the discomfort while he gradually fell asleep.
–
When Xi Ning got home from school, he told the driver to pick up Song Zhou the next day. The driver had never seen him bring back any classmates and friends, so he was very surprised, but didn’t ask much.
The driver picked up Song Zhou on time the next day when Xi Ning was still sleeping.
The driver called Xi Ning, but Xi Ning did not answer. He didn’t dare to bother Xi Ning anymore, so he had to lead Song Zhou to the living room. “Second Young Master should get up soon, you can have a seat first.”
After speaking, he turned and left. Song Zhou was left alone in this huge living room and occasionally he could see some cleaning servant hurry past the windows with their head down.
