When the cooking auntie was cooking that night, she found that there were leftover vegetables and porridge in the refrigerator that she hadn’t seen before. The pots and bowls also showed signs of being used. She guessed that Xi Ning was hungry and wanted to eat something after she left. She just wondered who made it for him, so she went upstairs to look for Xi Ning.

“Second Young Master?” After Xi Ning opened the door, the cooking auntie saw that he looked better and was relieved. “Did you leave vegetables and porridge in the refrigerator? Why don’t I cook them again.”

Xi Ning hurriedly stopped her. “No need, Auntie…… I will eat those tonight.”

The cooking auntie frowned and asked cautiously, “Is it that the meal I cooked doesn’t fit Second Young Master’s appetite?”

“No, no, don’t think too much, Auntie.” Xi Ning did not know what expression he should show. If he had known that it would be found out by the cooking auntie, he would have hid the food in his room first. “That was made by my classmate…… it’s not good to throw it away.”

The cooking auntie didn’t ask further after hearing Xi Ning’s explanation. Instead, she smiled. “Which classmate? Is it an alpha?’

It was normal for an alpha to be interested in Xi Ning at his age, but Xi Ning said. “It’s a beta.”

The cooking auntie was startled for an instant but she quickly recovered. She smiled and nodded, and then left.

Xi Ning closed the door and continued to do his homework. Except for the cooking auntie who came to him just now, he hadn’t said a word since Song Zhou left, and he was not even responding to the system.

It was the first time that the system had been on a mission with Xi Ning. The system didn’t know if Xi Ning had any similar experiences before. It could only guess that his actual age was not that old. Generally, for a transmigrator like Xi Ning whose main focus was to complete missions it was best not to have feelings with people in other worlds because once the mission was completed, he had to leave.

If Xi Ning applied to the Three Thousand Worlds Bureau, there would still be a chance for him to come back later, but he would have to wait until he completed the missions of the five worlds.

Although the system did not like Song Zhou, it was made to serve Xi Ning and it placed Xi Ning as its main priority. If Xi Ning really liked Song Zhou, it might try to help Xi Ning to extend his time in this world……

Xi Ning quickly finished the homework that was assigned. He cleaned up the things on the table and went to the kitchen to heat up the leftover pumpkin porridge and vegetables.

“Cough…..” The system was trying to make a conversation with Xi Ning, “Master, you can finally get a good night’s sleep tonight. Unfortunately, Song Zhou can’t come over to cook often.”

“It’s okay,” Xi Ning said with a calm expression on his face. “I will think of a way later.”

The system didn’t know how to answer Xi Ning so it remains silent.

Xi Ning knew what the system wanted to ask. Even the system already saw through his feelings. No matter how dull he was, he already realized his feelings towards Song Zhou. But Song Zhou didn’t say anything when he was doing these things for him.

He really did not reject having contact with Song Zhou. But what if Song Zhou acted like this just because of his personality or if Song Zhou only thought of him as his ordinary classmate? Xi Ning told himself that he should not think too much about it for the time being.

He ate dinner alone without letting Xiao CongYi know. After Xi Ning finished his meal, a servant came to collect the bowls. After that, he went back to the room and went to bed early.

When Xi Ning went to class the next day, Song Zhou brought him steamed dumplings.

Xi Ning was excited about what breakfast that Song Zhou would bring for him on the way to school, but he was still surprised when he saw what Song Zhou had brought. The steamed dumplings were also served with a small dish of dipping sauce, which smelled very good.
