“These are not spicy,” Song Zhou opened the lid of the dipping sauce and placed it on Xi Ning’s table. “I don’t know whether you like vinegar or not, so I didn’t add it.”
The temperature of the steamed dumplings was just right. Xi Ning picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks and took a bite. He tasted that the dumpling was stuffed with corn and pork.
Xi Ning quickly finished eating the dumplings and wanted to give Song Zhou some money in return for buying him breakfast. But Song Zhou didn’t want to accept it.
“No, you have to accept it.” Xi Ning guessed that Song Zhou would not accept the online transfer so he took some cash and put it in Song Zhou’s schoolbag. “How can I let you waste your money just to buy breakfast for me.”
Song Zhou said. “Didn’t you also bring breakfast for me?”
Xi Ning pulled Song Zhou’s hand away and put the money into the innermost layer of Song Zhou’s schoolbag. “I didn’t spend any money.”
Song Zhou remained silent and did not stop Xi Ning. He then got up and helped Xi Ning throw away the used tableware.

Before the last class, Song Zhou asked Xi Ning, “What will you eat tonight?”
Xi Ning was stunned and replied. “At night…… Auntie will make some porridge. I can still eat a little bit of light food.”
Seeing Song Zhou frown, Xi Ning said again. “It’s fine if I eat less at night since I’ve already gotten full from lunch at noon.”
“And you want to get a stomach ache again?”
Xi Ning was choked by Song Zhou’s words. Xi Ning said aggrievedly, “Then what can I do?”
Song Zhou has already helped him a lot so he can’t have to trouble him for dinner as well, but Xi Ning can’t say it out loud.
However, Xi Ning didn’t expect Song Zhou to take the initiative to say, “Can you go home later? You should be able to eat something that I buy right?”
Xi Ning understood that Song Zhou was going to buy him dinner outside the school, and let him eat it at school before he went back home.
“Will it trouble you?” Xi Ning was a little touched. “Is your home far away from school?”
“Not far.” Song Zhou grinned and he had a gentle expression on his face. “Don’t worry, I said I would help you.”
After school ended, Xi Ning told Xiao CongYi that he would go back later and waited in the classroom for Song Zhou to buy food for him.
Although there was no late self-study for second-year students, students who want to study in school at night could also go to the auditorium next door. The classmates quickly left the classroom, leaving Xi Ning alone at his seat.
Xi Ning was feeling bored while propping his head up with his hand. He suddenly received a mission instruction from the system.
“Master! Song Zhou and Lin Mian have contact with each other in the plot.”
[ Lin Mian was stopped by Lian Ze on his way home. Song Zhou happened to pass by. The probability of Song Zhou being stopped by Lian Ze was 80%, and the possibility of the plot changing is increased by 50%. ]
Xi Ning read the mission instruction twice carefully and said in surprise. “Why was Song Zhou being stopped by Lian Ze? Lian Ze didn’t even know him.”
While he was asking the system, Xi Ning took his phone and walked out of the classroom. He wanted to go and take a look at the place marked by the system.
The system checked the past activity logs of each character and said helplessly. “Lian Ze target was Lin Mian, Song Zhou was just passing by. But Lin Mian called out to Song Zhou when he saw him, probably because Lin Mian wanted to ask for help. Lian Ze blocked Song Zhou to prevent him from interfering with his business.”
This time the mission instruction was different than the ones that he received before since previously it was all predictions. Xi Ning had recently changed most of the plot and this caused the predictions to be inaccurate. However, the system targeted Song Zhou as the key detection object, so when he and Lin Mian were involved in a plot, it would inform Xi Ning.
