Song Zhou’s lunch box was not particularly effective at keeping the food warm. The food was already cold but Xi Ning still finished most of the lunch. Meanwhile, Song Zhou only ate a little and didn’t want to eat the rest. He didn’t know where to start eating, looking at the table that was full of food.
He was probably not quite used to it yet, so Xi Ning took the initiative to put away the lunch boxes, and stated his true purpose, “The taste is not bad, so how about from now on we…… continue to exchange food in the future.”
“From now on? Like just now?”
Song Zhou repeated Xi Ning’s words softly as if asking why.
Xi Ning smiled and said, “You can bring anything you want, I am not picky.”
He finally had a full meal and realized that Song Zhou probably wanted to refuse him, but he didn’t because he does not want to cause trouble. However, he didn’t care what Song Zhou thought.
Although there was still no solution for breakfast and dinner, Xi Ning was not in a hurry for the time being. He wanted to take things slowly, step by step.
The system says that he has poor self-control. Perhaps that was true, because he doesn’t want to treat himself badly. He is already very tired from working while ill, so why should he suffer more?
Song Zhou stayed silent, his thoughts unknown. At this moment, Lin Mian slowly approached them. He stretched out his hand and handed the brand new lunch box to Xi Ning.
“I don’t want your brother’s thing, can you help me return it to him?”
Yesterday his lunchbox broke and he forgot to buy a new one after school. He didn’t expect Xiao CongYi to personally give him a new one at noon. Xiao CongYi forcefully stuffed it in his hand and then left while attracting a crowd of people.
But he had already made up his mind that to cut his ties with Xiao CongYi, so naturally, he didn’t want to accept things from him.
Xi Ning was speechless for a moment, these two can even cause trouble because of a lunch box. He crossed his arms and didn’t want to take it, “If you want to return it, just return it by yourself. I won’t help you.”
He refused directly, Lin Mian didn’t know where he got the sudden courage, “Then… Then I will throw it away!”
Xi Ning thought to himself, it’s none of my business.
The system did not give any mission reminders, proving that whether or not Lin Mian decided to throw this thing away had no effect on the plot, so he didn’t bother to care about it.
Xi Ning sat steadily on the chair and did not say anything. Lin Mian was embarrassed for a moment, then he really went to the trashcan and threw away the lunch box.
Xiao CongYi had given him some things before, but this was the first time he had thrown it away. Furthermore, he did it in front of his brother, Lin Mian was very nervous. When he came back, he stood in the pathway. “I really threw it away, you ……”
He felt that he should say something to Xi Ning, but his mind went empty. He looked at the lunch box on the table that had not been put away and tried to start a conversation, “I think this is pretty nice. Where did you buy it? I will go to buy one after school ……”
That was Song Zhou’s lunch box, Xi Ning immediately became alert, how could this even be associated with Song Zhou?
He stretched out his hand to protect Song Zhou’s lunch box. “Why do you want to buy the same one as others? And this is mine.”
Song Zhou, “……”
Lin Mian is not stupid. He obviously saw Xi Ning brought such a big lunch box into the classroom in the morning, but now he said it belonged to him. He aggrieved, “You are as annoying as your brother!”
After speaking, he turned and left, Xi Ning was nervous for a while, he was relieved when he saw that the system did not deduct his mission points.
Song Zhou, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stretched out his hand and took back his lunch box, which was under Xi Ning’s hand to put it back in his drawer, the expression on his face becoming less cold than before.
Xi Ning thought for a while, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao CongYi, saying that Lin Mian had thrown away the gift he gave.
Xiao CongYi didn’t block him anymore and quickly replied “ok”.
