“Second Young Master?”

There was a knock on the door. Xi Ning closed his eyes and lay on the bed without responding.

Xi Ning had locked the door from the inside. Father Xiao was not at home now, but Butler Lin did not dare to open the door directly with the key, so he can only call Xi Ning from outside the door.

“Second Young Master, are you awake?”

Xi Ning turned over. He got out of bed and opened the door. He saw a dining cart in the corridor with all kinds of food on it. Butler Lin who had been waiting outside the door said, “Second young master, please eat something. Don’t be angry with the master anymore……”

Xi Ning couldn’t explain to him that he wanted to eat, but couldn’t because of his sickness.

“I will only eat it after you return the phone to me.”

Butler Lin showed an unwilling expression on his face, Xi Ning understood what he meant and closed the door directly.

He only drank some plain porridge in the past two days. Father Xiao thought he was on a hunger strike because he was angry with him. Father Xiao probably felt that Xi Ning could not hold on for long and was totally unmoved.

He couldn’t continue like this. Xi Ning also did not have his phone by his side, so he couldn’t reach out to anyone. If Xi Ning really waited until his estrus period was over, he would probably be half dead.

Xi Ning didn’t know if Song Zhou had contacted him or not…… They had only confirmed their relationship the night before, and then he disappeared the next day.

Xi Ning laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking carefully about what else could be done to get out.

He wanted to find Song Zhou.

A cool breeze blew in from the window, and Xi Ning’s eyes lit up.

He got up and looked out the window. Outside was the backyard of the Xiao family. At this time, there was almost no one in the backyard.

Although his room was on the second floor, it was much higher than the usual house, so he had to use some tools to get down.

Xi Ning thought for a while. He found a pair of scissors from the drawer and tore off the sheets.

He cut the sheets into long strips of suitable width and then tied them together to make a long rope to climb down the window.

The system was worried. “Master, be careful……”

Xi Ning let out a “hmm” and tautened the cloth strips tightly. It took a while for him to finish everything. By the time Xi Ning finished preparing, his hands were already trembling.

He rested for a while, then tied one end of the cloth to the foot of the bed and threw all the rest out of the window. It was just the right length.

Xi Ning observed the surroundings for a while, he changed into more suitable clothes and climbed out the window. After that, by hanging onto the cloth strip, he slid down to the ground little by little.

However, this method was not as easy as Xi Ning had imagined. He was so hungry that he almost couldn’t hold on to the rope several times during the descent. When he was about to reach the ground, Xi Ning finally couldn’t hold back and fell down.

The ground was muddy underneath. Since his clothes cushioned him from the fall, he didn’t feel any pain, but the palm of his hand was slightly injured.

Xi Ning stood up slowly while supporting himself using the wall, and he felt a little dizzy.

There must have been someone guarding the door. Xi Ning intended to go through the garden and climb the wall out of the yard. He followed the wall along the path. When he encountered servants who were passing by occasionally, he hid behind the wall and the trees.

In the monitoring room, the servant in charge of the monitoring hesitated for a while and then called Butler Lin to explain the situation. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone and Butler Lin said, “Let him go.”

At the same time, Song Zhou arrived in front of the gate of the Xiao house.

In the past, when he came and said that he was looking for someone, the security guard at the gate would lead him to a servant inside.

And today, the security guard asked more than usual. “Who are you looking for?”

Song Zhou replied, “I am looking for Xiao Ning.”

The security guard glanced at him up and down and waved his hand. “The second young master is not here. Come back another day.”

Song Zhou looked inside the gate and was silent for a few breaths. “Okay.”
