"Miss, it's almost time for dinner. I'll be cooking tonight. What would you like to eat?" Yue Lanxing came over to ask about dinner after the young lady finished her phone call.
After Xu Zhaoyue ordered the food, he went to get busy.
Xu Zhaohao returned to his dorm, where He Kaiyuan was just about to look for him at the cafeteria. "Hey, you're back! I was just thinking of going over there to find you. Which cafeteria do you want to eat at for dinner?"
Xu Zhaohao had prepared to speak to He Kaiyuan as soon as he came in, but now that he saw him, he suddenly couldn't say anything. Seeing that he didn't speak, He Kaiyuan immediately asked, "Don't you want to go to the cafeteria? Shall we eat out?"
"Oh? No need, we can just go to the cafeteria. I have something to tell you. I'm going to join Professor Shen's project team. I'll be away for a month and a half, or maybe two months."
He Kaiyuan suddenly stopped in his tracks as he put on one sleeve, then paused for a moment before taking the shirt off again. "What are you going to wear?"
Xu Zhaohao repeated what he had just said, and specifically explained the reason, "That's just how it is. My sister has already invested, so it would be inappropriate for me not to go."
After he finished speaking, he stared at He Kaiyuan, as if afraid that he would object, although he did not understand why he cared so much about He Kaiyuan's feelings.
"Alright, so should we go to the cafeteria or eat out tonight?" He Kaiyuan asked calmly. Xu Zhaohao knew he wasn't as calm as he appeared, but he didn't say anything. "The cafeteria, I guess."
The two of them were doing their usual things, but Xu Zhaohao felt that He Kaiyuan had become somewhat silent.
They are outwardly calm, while some people are not even outwardly calm.
After dinner, Xu Zhaoyue went for a walk with Yue Lanxing. Doubao had grown a bit more, but Yue Lanxing told her that this was Doubao's basic weight and it wouldn't grow much more.
"Hey, why is Qingying running in a curve? I saw Doubao running in a straight line. Are there different types of running?" Xu Zhaoyue asked doubtfully.
"Because Qingying has a hunting instinct, it will take multiple routes," Yue Lanxing explained.
"So that's the reason." Xu Zhaoyue nodded. Just then, an electronic voice suddenly appeared in her mind, "Master, I have brought you a message."
Xu Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, her expression blank for a fleeting instant, but Yue Lanxing didn't see it under the cover of night.
Xu Zhaoyue didn't immediately ask the system in her mind. Instead, she walked the dog for twenty minutes before making an excuse that she was tired and went back to her room to rest. Yue Lanxing led the dog back to its kennel and also went back to her room.
After finally closing his eyes to sleep, Yue Lanxing couldn't fall asleep again. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the image of the young lady kissing him. He tried to force himself to sleep, but he just couldn't control the image in his mind.
Only now did he understand what the young lady meant by punishment, but even so, he still had to say that he wanted more of this kind of punishment.
Yue Lanxing stayed up until midnight, but finally decided to go for a run. He ran a few laps in the woods, and even the horses around him seemed confused when they saw him. He only went back to rest after he had exhausted himself.
Xu Zhaoyue also lay in bed for a long time before falling asleep. Her conversation with the system was brief, but contained a wealth of information.
"Little Pumpkin? You're back?" Xu Zhaoyue took a few deep breaths while lying in bed before tentatively asking the question in her mind.
"Little Pumpkin is here. Did you miss me, Master?" Little Pumpkin's voice was the same as before. "I used the points Master earned from completing tasks to upgrade the system."
Xu Zhaoyue wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the upgraded system. What she wanted to know was why the system had reappeared. "You're coming back to bind to me after you've upgraded?"
"No, no, no." Little Pumpkin quickly denied it when she saw that Xu Zhaoyue had misunderstood. "When Master came back, didn't I say that Master would turn bad luck into good? I came back this time for this matter."
"Oh, are you coming back to help me? Is something dangerous about to happen?" Xu Zhaoyue forced a smile, suppressing her irritation and trying to keep her tone calm.
The little pumpkin doesn't beat around the bush; it gives very direct information: "The original storyline was that Xu Zhaohao was trapped in a fire and died, the entire Xu family was inherited by Xu Zhaoming, and then five years later it was acquired by the Yue family."
"Although you have been in control of the Xu family since you returned, and your approval rating has reached over 80%, the system has detected that the crisis has not yet been resolved."
"That's why I came to help my master. But I can only stay for a short while. Please ask me what information you need."
Upon hearing that time was of the essence, Xu Zhaoyue immediately began to investigate. "Can you tell me who set the fire? Or is there another way to harm me?"
She had repeatedly emphasized the importance of fire prevention, and if something went wrong in this area again, it would be a real problem. "I don't know about this system either. If I could, I would have told you when you came back."
"So I guess I'll definitely have to go through with it," Xu Zhaoyue said helplessly.
"That's one way to put it."
Xu Zhaoyue was even more speechless when she heard it say that. "If you don't tell me what will happen and can't stop the danger, then what are you doing back here? You might as well let me just let things take their course. Right now, I'm waiting here with my heart pounding."
"It's useful. I'm useful this time because the master can choose how much damage he receives." Little Pumpkin's tone was a little anxious, which was probably a change after the system upgrade.
Xu Zhaoyue opened her eyes and sat up. "What is this?"
The little pumpkin opened an attribute panel: "Master, the damage you received this time cannot be changed. It's a total of 300 damage, but you can choose multiple combinations."
