Lin Mian has also finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and watched Xi Ning pay for the meals but was still unable to speak up.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Xi Ning raised his chin at him while speaking softly.
Lin Mian lowered his head and pinched the strap of his backpack. He then plucked up the courage to say, “It is because of Xiao CongYi that you helped me to drive away those people and treat me to a meal?”
Xi Ning was very confident. “Of course, Xiao…My brother has been worried about you, so he asked me to take care of you.”
Although Xiao CongYi did not come in person, Xi Ning was now Xiao CongYi’s younger brother so the effect should be the same. That meant that it was Xiao CongYi who was helping Lin Mian and treating him to a meal. The relationship between the two protagonists should have progressed a bit. Right?
Lin Mian pursed his lips and turned his head away. “You used to hate me so much. He can even ask for you to come. Why doesn’t he come by himself?”
Xi Ning was stunned and Lin Mian continued, “I know I am not good enough for your brother. I have decided to stay away from him so you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
Lin Mian does not tell him the whole story. Although he and Xiao CongYi are not together yet, they are very close to it. But in this state, he is very tired because of his own feeling of inferiority and timidity. Xiao CongYi neither denied or acknowledged having a relationship with him, which has caused more and more people to cause him trouble recently.
He carried his backpack and stood up, he then bent slightly towards Xi Ning and said, “Thank you for treating me to lunch, I will go back to school first.”
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Someone near the shop was watching their interaction. He took out a mobile phone and secretly took a few photos and sent them to Xiao CongYi.
Xi Ning looked at Lin Mian’s back and was very puzzled. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. But why did Lin Mian seem a little angry?
The system interrupted his thoughts with a low voice, “Master… deducted, deducted mission points…”
Xi Ning opened the mission panel and the transparent screen that only he could see displayed, “The probability of plot changing has been increased by 30%, 3 mission points were deducted. There is no punishment for the first deduction but please take it as a warning.”
The mission points which were already less were displayed as a red negative 1.
Mission points were deducted even after all that hard work.
Xi Ning walked out of the restaurant with a sullen expression on his face and his phone suddenly rang.
The caller showed “Xiao CongYi”, Xi Ning directly hung up and quickly blocked this contact.
What were you doing earlier? If it had been Xiao CongYi who went to Lin Mian in the first place, he might not have had his mission points deducted.
The system came out to comfort him. “It’s okay master, you can take your time, feelings can’t be rushed and I think it’s already developing in a good direction…”
Xi Ning, “Silence.”
He took two steps, and the phone rang again.
This time it was the butler that was calling, Xi Ning hesitated for a while and picked it up, “Uncle Lin?”
“Second young master, the transfer of classes has been arranged. You can go to the first class in the afternoon and someone will help you pack up your belongings.”
That was fast, as I thought it is really easy to do things if you have money. Xi Ning feels a little better. “Okay, thank you.”
Butler Lin paused on the phone and replied, “You are welcome, second young master.”
There was still some time before class in the afternoon. Xi Ning put his mobile phone away and walked slowly towards the school.
While passing by the “Xin Xin Bakery”, Xi Ning glanced through the glass window and turned away.
He thought about it carefully on his way that he probably didn’t handle the situation well.
The protagonist’s current relationship is at its most vulnerable point, otherwise, the plot would not change completely because of a mere BUG.
Even if there were no BUG, intervention from an outsider like him would also cause the situation to worsen.
