Chapter 23
Getting tired just from reading the questions for a long time? Why do I feel that he is weaker than a patient like me.
Xi Ning didn’t think much about it. He still hadn’t fully adapted to the gender setting of this world. He was ignorant to the release and control of his own pheromone. The system had just finished solving the question for him and was resting so it didn’t remind Xi Ning that his pheromone release was excessive.
Xi Ning urged, “Are you hungry now? I’ll take you to the kitchen. There should be some ingredients left in the refrigerator.”
Song Zhou stood up obediently. “Okay.”
Both the butler and the driver took care of their lunches by themselves. Since no one was cooking today, the kitchen was very quiet. Xi Ning led Song Zhou into the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinets and refrigerator.
The meat that they usually ate was ordered and cooked by the cooking auntie daily, so there wasn’t any left. There were also not many vegetables left. Xi Ning only found a bag of potatoes and some ham, and there were also a few eggs in the refrigerator.
Xi Ning didn’t know how to cook, so he was clueless as to what to do when looking at the ingredients. Song Zhou stepped forward and took a look. “Do you have any leftover rice?”
Xi Ning hurriedly put down the ingredients and went to find the rice cooker. When he opened it, it was empty and there’s nothing inside.
The cooking auntie had been working in Xiao’s house for several years, and she had formed the habit of not leaving any leftovers. Anything that had not been eaten would be thrown out and she also wouldn’t pack it and eat it herself. Xi Ning was embarrassed. “No……”
Song Zhou took the initiative to reach out and take a pot. He found the cabinet where the rice was stored and took a portion of rice for two people, and then went to wash the rice.
He moved quickly without any unwillingness. Xi Ning was stupefied, looking at Song Zhou.
His classmate…… was too good!
He was willing to exchange lunches with him and help him to do revision. Now he even agreed to cook for him without asking why.
No wonder the original plot would change. It was normal for Lin Mian to fall for him.
The system didn’t like this BUG called Song Zhou. It always felt that he was ill-intentioned. Now that it noticed that Xi Ning’s condition was not right, it alerted him. “Master, you have been hungry for so long but had to do revisions the entire morning. Let’s take a rest and leave him in the kitchen to prepare lunch.”
“How can I do that,” Xi Ning said sternly. “He is still my guest.”
Song Zhou started to peel potatoes after cooking the rice. Xi Ning approached him. “Is there anything I can help?”
“No need.” Song Zhou peeled
two potatoes while Xi Ning was still standing beside him. His hands stopped for a while. “I still need to prepare three eggs.”
Xi Ning got up obediently. He at least still knew how to beat eggs. After Xi Ning finished beating the eggs, Song Zhou had already started cutting the potatoes and ham.
Since they had limited ingredients, Song Zhou planned to make ham and egg fried rice with fried potato as side dishes.
Xi Ning was so hungry that his legs were weak. He was too embarrassed to walk away but he couldn’t help much. Eventually, he squatted on the ground and watched Song Zhou cooking busily.
Song Zhou didn’t prepare much rice so that the rice could be cooked quickly. When he finished cooking the fried potatoes, the rice was ready. He then started to cook the egg fried rice.
When Song Zhou put down the spatula and turned around. Xi Ning was already standing behind him with two bowls, looking at him eagerly. “Can we eat already?”
He is a young master who should have no worries about food and clothes. So why is he acting like a little refugee who couldn’t eat enough every day? Song Zhou filled up his bowl with the egg fried rice first. “Yeah, you can eat.”
The fried potatoes were already ready and placed on the dining table. Xi Ning stuffed a mouthful of fried rice and almost burst into tears.
