Chapter 48: Chapter 48

He sat next to Song Zhou, and gave him some vegetables and meat from time to time. After a few times, Song Zhou stopped him. “I am fine already, you should eat also.”

Xi Ning stopped and said sincerely, “I don’t know how to repay you. If there is anything I can help with, you must tell me.”

Song Zhou said with a soft tone, “You don’t know how to repay?”

He took a piece of meaty ribs and dipped it in the sauce. He put it in Xi Ning’s bowl and moved closer to Xi Ning. “Really?”

Xi Ning gave a “hmph” in his mind but acting dumb in front of Song Zhou. “I really don’t know since you didn’t say how I should repay you.”

Song Zhou was silent for a while. Two of them got very close now, Xi Ning stretched out his hand to push him. “Why are you looking at me, hurry up and eat.”

Xi Ning was actually a little nervous. This was the first time he was feeling out someone. He really felt that Song Zhou was a person who was hard to read, and he couldn’t help but want to see him become speechless.

The force he used to push Song Zhou away was not weak. Song Zhou lowered his head and grabbed Xi Ning’s hand, which was on his shoulder. When he was just about to speak, the door suddenly rang, and someone hurriedly walked in. When he passed by the dining room, he gave a “huh”.

Xiao CongYi was holding something in his hand. He looked up and down at Song Zhou. “This is…… your classmate?”

Butler Lin had already told him about Xi Ning’s request for leave today. He was not surprised to see Xi Ning at home, but he didn’t expect that there was another person. Moreover, the two of them were eating dinner together.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He also felt that Song Zhou looked a little familiar, but he didn’t remember where he had met him before.

Xi Ning nodded. “Why did you come back so early today?”

There was still a while before Xiao CongYi’s class ended. He looked like he was in a hurry. Maybe something had happened.

As expected, Xiao CongYi said, “Lin Mian is in the hospital. I’ll get some things and go to accompany him tonight.”

Xi Ning was surprised. “Lin Mian was hospitalized? What happened to him?”

Xiao CongYi pinched his eyebrows. “He fainted suddenly in class, he was being examined but the reason is still unknown.”

Lin Mian’s parents were not at home recently. As his future boyfriend, Xiao CongYi naturally took care of everything first, including the cost of the hospital examination.

Xiao CongYi didn’t want to say more and hurried upstairs to change his clothes. He took some things and left.

The system was also surprised to hear that Lin Mian was hospitalized. This was an unexpected situation. In the original plot, Lin Mian did not get sick and hospitalized during this time period.

“Is it because he is about to undergo gender differentiation?” In the previous physical education class, he also fainted because he was about to undergo gender differentiation, but this time it seems to be more serious. “If it is gender differentiation, then we don’t need to worry. If he undergoes gender differentiation earlier and he can be together with Xiao CongYi earlier……”

The system answered honestly. “I don’t know.”

It was reasonable to say that it was very likely to be due to gender differentiation. However, because this happened suddenly, it was impossible to be 100% sure until they got the examination report from the hospital.

Xi Ning didn’t worry too much. Maybe it was caused by the butterfly effect, but as long as the system did not release any mission instructions, he thought it was fine.

He was a little absentminded, Song Zhou interrupted his thoughts with his voice, “Are you worried about Lin Mian?”

Xi Ning came back to his senses. “Worried……”

Why do I need to worry about him?

Xi Ning suddenly stopped in the middle of what he said, and changed his words. “I’m quite worried.”

After speaking, he lowered his head to eat and did not continue the topic.

But Song Zhou didn’t plan to give up and asked, “Because he is the person your brother likes?”

Xi Ning lifted up his head and Song Zhou said, “You used to give him breakfast every day and you rushed to take him to the infirmary during the incident in the physical education class. Did you do all of this because of your brother?”

He even remembered this. However, Xi Ning has already stopped bringing cakes for Lin Mian for a while now. Xi Ning didn’t know how to answer and asked, “Why are you asking about this?”

Song Zhou said slowly, “I just want to know whether you will also treat others this good.”

Xi Ning suddenly realized that Song Zhou is not as calm as he looks.
