Xi Ning was still a little worried. Wouldn’t something happen in this situation? But he changed his mind after receiving mission points from the system, which meant there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
He still didn’t quite understand it, since Lin Mian’s mood must have fallen to the bottom right now, but the probability of repairing the relationship had even increased to 70%.
Xi Ning felt bad for Lin Mian for about three seconds. Then he and Song Zhou quietly walked out of the room using another door while the table beside them was still chatting awkwardly and couldn’t pay attention to others at all.
The driver was still waiting outside. Both of them got into the car and set off to the address that Song Zhou gave. Song Zhou lived not far from here.
Before getting out of the car, the driver asked again, “When will Second Young Master want to go back? I will wait for you downstairs if that’s alright.”
Xi Ning estimated that Song Zhou would have to spend some time cooking, and Xiao CongYi might have to use the car, so he told the driver to return back to where Xiao CongYi was.
Song Zhou lived in a relatively small and old area, and there wasn’t even an elevator in the apartment complex. He followed Song Zhou all the way up to the fifth floor, and suddenly Xi Ning said nervously, “Are your parents at home?”
“No.” Song Zhou lowered his head and got his key to open the door. The sound of the lock turning could be heard very clearly in the corridor. “I live alone.”
The door opened. Xi Ning looked curiously into the home and stepped into Song Zhou’s home stiffly.
It was a very ordinary one-bedroom and one-living room apartment. The furniture placed in the room was very simple. Xi Ning also found that there was no TV in the living room.
Song Zhou, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and pulled the door handle on the other side of Xi Ning, which completely isolated them from the outside world.
The sound of the door closing made Xi Ning’s heart skip a beat. He was caught between the door and Song Zhou. As soon as he looked up, he could see Song Zhou’s face close up.
With a “click” sound, Song Zhou also locked the door from the inside.
Perhaps seeing Xi Ning’s nervousness, Song Zhou squeezed the tip of Xi Ning’s chin. He bent over to get Xi Ning a new pair of slippers and helped him put away his schoolbag. “You can have a seat first.”
It was already late, so Song Zhou quickly entered the kitchen to make the meal while Xi Ning simply strolled around the house.
The door to Song Zhou’s room was closed tightly. Xi Ning changed directions and went to the kitchen to watch Song Zhou cook.
It was a sudden decision to come over to Song Zhou’s house today. He hadn’t prepared anything in advance. Song Zhou was washing the vegetables, so Xi Ning volunteered to help.
Song Zhou didn’t refuse and turned around to prepare something else.
Xi Ning was also a person who couldn’t cook before he became a Traveler. He would occasionally help his mother to cook when he was at home, but when he was by himself, he usually went out to eat or order takeout and rarely cooked for himself.
In addition to the portion that Xi Ning would eat, Song Zhou also cooked tomorrow’s lunch at the same time. When everything was done, it was already very late.
Song Zhou packed the lunch box and put Xi Ning’s meal on the table in the living room. After that, he told Xi Ning to come and eat.
“You didn’t eat much tonight either. Let’s eat together?” Xi Ning took two sets of chopsticks. “There are a lot of dishes, I can’t finish it alone.”
Song Zhou took off his apron and put it away. He poured two cups of water and walked toward Xi Ning. “Okay.”
Xi Ning noticed that the cups he brought over seemed to be new, and they looked like a pair, one had blue flowers and the other had red flowers.
