He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Xi Ning ran down the stairs. “You…… why did you come here?”

Song Zhou approached and stretched out his hand to support Xi Ning. “The teacher asked me to visit you.”

Xi Ning didn’t believe a word.

Classes were not over yet, so Song Zhou probably took leave and came here alone according to his memory from his last visit.

It was impossible to say that he was not happy. Xi Ning suppressed the expression on his face and said to the servant who was still standing beside him, “He is indeed my classmate. You can go back to work.”

The servant answered and left. Xi Ning led Song Zhou toward the living room. “Don’t you need to attend class?”

“No need.” Song Zhou didn’t explain further. He put his schoolbag on the corner of the sofa, and carefully looked at Xi Ning’s face. “Have you eaten anything?”

Xi Ning nodded. “I just ate a little bit.”

He was still hungry now. Did Song Zhou come here just to cook for him?

Xi Ning was ashamed to ask directly and took the initiative to pour Song Zhou a glass of water. Song Zhou took the glass and took a few sips of water slowly but didn’t say anything.

Was it true that Song Zhou just came to visit him?

Xi Ning was hesitating to ask Song Zhou. He sat next to Song Zhou and was looking at him from time to time, obviously hinting at Song Zhou.

After a long while, Song Zhou said slowly. “Is there anything I can help with?”

Xi Ning thought, of course there was.

But if he wanted to give Song Zhou money as a reward for cooking for him, how could he express it more appropriately? While he was distressed, Song Zhou said, “Are you hungry?”

Seeing that he took the initiative to ask, Xi Ning honestly replied. “Yes.”

Now that there was no one else in the living room, Song Zhou asked again. “You said at school that you can only eat what I give?”

“Yes,” Xi Ning swore to Song Zhou for fear that he would not believe him, “What I said is true, I don’t have to lie to you…… I’m embarrassed to have troubled you so many times for lunch before, so…..”.

Before Xi Ning finished speaking, Song Zhou interrupted him. “Okay, I believe you.”

“Would you like me to make you something to eat?” Song Zhou tempted Xi Ning. “Since you are unwell today, I’ll just make something light. Do you have any ingredients at home?”

He intentionally chose to come at this time. He estimated that the cooking auntie was most likely absent at this time. It was more convenient this way. Although the things he made were not as good as the cooking auntie’s, Song Zhou thought they still tasted good.

Xi Ning nodded quickly. “Yes, there should still be ingredients in the kitchen. You can just cook some porridge.”

Song Zhou was satisfied but didn’t show any expression on his face. It seemed that cooking for Xi Ning was just as easy as lifting a finger for him. “If you want me to help you in the future, just say it directly.”

He got up and walked towards the kitchen. He remembered where the place was the last time he was there. Xi Ning followed him. “I’m so sorry to waste your time…… How about this, I usually didn’t use up my pocket money, I……”

Song Zhou suddenly stopped and turned around. Xi Ning almost ran into him.

“You don’t need to pay.” Song Zhou stared at Xi Ning longingly. “I don’t need it.”

Xi Ning was unaware of this. He was still immersed in his gratitude to Song Zhou. Since Song Zhou didn’t need money, he would not mention this matter anymore and would look for other opportunities to compensate him in the future.

The cooking auntie had just purchased ingredients at noon. Xi Ning had a stomach ache today, so Song Zhou cooked two dishes and a large portion of pumpkin porridge.

It takes some time to cook porridge. Song Zhou said to Xi Ning during the waiting time while it was cooking, “I have prepared extra porridge. If you are hungry at night, you can heat it up and eat it.”

Xi Ning had been watching him cooking in the kitchen, and nodded obediently after hearing this. “Okay, thank you.”
