After the delicious and lively meal, Shu Sheng also sent Song Xu downstairs to the dormitory.

Song Xu didn’t say a word along the way, and Shu Sheng also tactfully kept silent.

When he arrived downstairs at the dormitory building, Song Xu went straight up the stairs.

Shu Sheng also stood on the side of the road, looking at Song Xu’s back, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Unexpectedly, Song Xu walked a few steps and turned back, and walked up to Shu Shengyi facing her surprised eyes.

“You treated me to this meal, and I’ll pay you back next time. That way, neither of us owes each other anything.”

“Ah Xu… please don’t be like this, okay?”

Shu Shengyi finally experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant.

She raised her hand to touch Song Xu’s face, but she dodged it as soon as she raised her hand.

Song Xu’s indifference and alienation made Shu Shengyi’s eyes dim. He shook his hands vaguely, and Shu Shengyi smiled bitterly.

This is what you sow, and you will have to bear the consequences in the end.

“It’s getting late. You go ahead. I’ll go up first.”
Looking at Shu Shengyi’s appearance, Song Xu also felt uncomfortable.

But this is the last chance, both for myself and Shengsheng.

She is selfish and greedy, and only wants to tie Shengsheng to her side. But what about Shengsheng? Shengsheng has no memory now. She was the one who dominated the previous worlds and attracted Shengsheng to her.

This time she let Shengsheng make her own choice, and she would not interfere no matter what Shengsheng did.

This time, she believed the data given by the system. No matter what, Shengsheng would never leave her in the end.

Song Xu’s eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips revealed a strange excitement.

She clenched her hands tightly and turned around. Her shoulders trembled slightly but she tried her best to control it so that Shu Shengyi would not notice.

I watched Song Xu walk up the stairs step by step until his back could no longer be seen.

Shu Shengyi couldn’t help but take two steps forward, then stopped.

She kept looking up at the light on the balcony, then she slowly backed away, stood there for a while, and finally turned around and left.

Song Xu stood beside the desk, only one step away from the balcony, but he was reluctant to move.

She waited until the mechanical sound of the system sounded in her mind before she walked to the balcony and looked downstairs. The figure there had disappeared.

Lush and dense trees can be seen everywhere on the campus of University A. The treetops are connected together, completely covering the roads below.

Song Xu looked for a long time, and could only see the thick night bordering the trees, and the dotted street lights struggling to emit faint light through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

[33, query the completion degree of all tasks.]
33: [Okay, host, please note that your world mission this time is: protect Qin Xueran’s safety and make Song Xu happy. The current mission completion rate is: 50%.
Ms. Shu Shengyi’s mission is to find a loving partner in every world. The current mission completion rate is 95%.
[understood. ]
With his eyelashes slightly drooped, Song Xu stretched out his hand and placed it on the balcony. The white tiles still shone with the warmth of the sun, and felt slightly warm against his skin.

[33, I have a question. Is this mission to make Song Xu happy, or to make me happy?]
33: [Host, you have to solve this problem by yourself. I do not have enough authority to interfere with the mission.]
Song Xu: [So, if this mission fails, what will happen?]

33: [Host, please do not be negative. Considering your excellent performance in the previous four worlds, if the mission in this world fails, the biggest possibility is that the host will enter a new world and start a new mission.

In addition, since the host and Miss Shu Shengyi have a one-to-one binding, if the host fails in the mission and Miss Shu Shengyi fails to be resurrected in the original world, the bound mission will also be judged as a failure. Miss Shu Shengyi will enter the new world with the host. ]
Song Xu: [Start over? Then Shengsheng’s memory will be restored.]
33: [Maybe.]
Song Xu: [The system can’t be sure either? Forget it, this is too much trouble. I’ll just finish this task, and then I’ll ask 33 to let me and Shengsheng live in a new world.]
33: [Host…Okay, thank you for your trust. I will serve you wholeheartedly.]
[Thank you.]
Hearing the cold mechanical voice of the system saying such words, Song Xu raised his eyebrows somewhat uncomfortably, raised his hands and patted them, shaking off the warm dust on his palms.

Tiny dust particles slowly scattered in the bright white light, and finally blended silently into the night and returned to heaven and earth.

*
A pale dawn appeared on the horizon, followed by clouds dyed with golden rouge. The sun was hidden under the clouds, and only a few rays of morning light fell on the earth.

At the beginning of a new day, Song Xu deliberately got up early. She received news last night that all freshmen would report in three days, and the one-month military training would officially begin on the fourth day.
So today she plans to go and get the military training uniforms and professional teaching materials.

It’s just that she gets up early, and some people get up early too.

As soon as Song Xu walked downstairs, Shu Shengyi came up to him.

“A Xu, do you want to have breakfast together? After breakfast, I can go get the textbooks. How about that?”

Shu Shengyi had a bright smile on his face and looked at Song Xu with anticipation.

Song Xu was silent for a moment, and then, for the first time ever, he smiled at Shu Sheng.
“Okay, I’ll trouble you, Senior Shu.”

“No, you’re welcome. No, no, it’s what I should do. Ah Xu, you don’t have to be polite to me.” Shu Sheng was a little flattered. He clenched his hands helplessly, and didn’t dare to look at Song Xu. His face turned red.

At this time, a group of students came out of the dormitory building. When they saw Shu Shengyi, they stopped in surprise, covered their mouths and began to discuss in a low voice.

But even though they deliberately lowered their voices, Song Xu could still hear them saying, “Is the iceberg beauty finally going to melt today?”

Song Xu tilted his head slightly to glance at the group of girls, then suppressed his smile and said coldly:
“So Senior Shu, please take me to dinner. It’s getting late and I have things to do later.”

“Okay, I’ll take you to the breakfast shop at the school gate. I’ve already bought the food and left it in the shop. Otherwise, if you go too late, you won’t be able to eat it.”

Shu Shengyi and Song Xu walked out side by side. Their hands touched each other from time to time, and the different temperatures penetrated each other through the brief touch.

Holding the other hand gently in his palm, Shu Shengyi quietly paid attention to Song Xu’s reaction. After getting a light glance, Shu Shengyi pretended to be stupid, with a cheerful smile on his face, but held Song Xu’s hand tighter.

Song Xu glanced at her, said nothing, and let her hold it.

Holding hands, they slowed down their pace at the same time. The long path covered by tree shadows was quiet and peaceful, with a unique sense of tranquility and peace that belonged to the morning.

The two of them waited until they had walked through the long path before quickening their pace. After walking for another ten minutes, they finally reached the school gate.

Song Xu saw from afar a breakfast shop with a long queue at the door. There was not even a plaque at the door of the shop, only an inconspicuous floral curtain hanging on the side with the word “breakfast” written on it.

When Song Xu approached, he looked at the particularly familiar font, and glanced speechlessly at Shu Shengyi, who was greeting acquaintances in the long queue with an expressionless face.

Why did she have the illusion that Shengsheng was a foodie? Yes, this must be an illusion.

After saying hello to the acquaintances, Shu Shengyi took Song Xu’s hand and went straight into the breakfast shop.

“Aunt Wu, we are here.”

“Oh, you’re finally here? Come in quickly, your Aunt Tong is eating in there. Go and help me urge her to eat quickly and come out to help!”

Aunt Wu, who was busy selling breakfast and collecting money, saw the two people coming in and immediately shouted to them to go inside.

Song Xu looked at Aunt Wu in front of her, who was wearing a headscarf and a mask, and always felt that her voice sounded a little strangely familiar.

But now she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.

After thinking for a while and still unable to remember, Song Xu simply put the doubt behind him and followed Shu Shengyi through the narrow aisle into the store.

She didn’t notice that the moment she looked away, Aunt Wu’s originally straight back quietly relaxed.

“Are you here? Breakfast is on the table, eat and clean up after yourself.”

Aunt Tong was also wearing a mask. Her short hair was neatly combed and she looked very capable in a black sportswear.

As soon as Shu Shengyi and Song Xu came in, she took a clean towel and prepared to go out.

“Have you finished your meal? You’re here earlier than usual today.”

Seeing Aunt Tong, Shu Sheng rarely smiled. He took Song Xu to the table and watched Aunt Tong lift the gauze cover on the table and put it aside.

Aunt Tong glanced at her, then looked at Song Xu, took the towel and walked to the aisle before saying:
“I didn’t hear her urging me outside. Just have a good meal with your friends. Just remember to clean up after yourself.”
After saying that, Aunt Tong went outside.

Song Xu looked at the furnishings in the store. The empty space only had some kitchen utensils for making breakfast, and there was only one table.

The shop outside that sells breakfast has only a small space, so customers can only buy breakfast and take it away but cannot eat it in the shop.
What a strange shop, and the two owners too.

Shu Shengyi was obviously very familiar with the two shop owners and the store. He dragged out a bench from under the cupboard, wiped it clean with the towel hanging on the windowsill, and then pulled Song Xu to sit down.

“Ah Xu, what do you want to eat? I’ve ordered everything the store has. Try them all and see if you like them?”

Taking out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and putting them in Song Xu’s hand, Shu Sheng also pushed all the breakfast plates in the middle of the round table in front of Song Xu and looked at her expectantly.

She said she bought all the breakfast in the store, but Song Xu looked at the breakfast on the plates in front of her: steamed dumplings, steamed cakes, siu mai…all of them were her favorite.

Blinking, Song Xu picked up a steamed dumpling and stuffed it directly into Shu Shengyi’s mouth. Then he laughed at her surprised look.

With his other hand, he stretched out his index finger and poked Shu Shengyi’s puffy face. Song Xu chuckled and said:
“Are these really all the breakfasts in the store, not just the ones I like to eat? So Shengsheng, you lied to me again, right?”
