He Xin and Ning An confirmed that the windows and door were securely locked before switching off the power supply. They then carried their luggage to the school entrance. Most of the students who were not staying in school had already left, so there was hardly anyone at the school gate.
When Elina saw Ning An, she immediately came forward and gave him a big hug. “Baby, mother has missed you very much.”
Ning An struggled to breathe and looked worriedly at He Xin. With great difficulty, he made Elina let go of him. “Mum, don’t hug me so tightly.”
“Mother missed you, okay.” Elina reluctantly let go of Ning An and then saw He Xin standing to the side. “You must be An An’s friend, right? Thank you for taking care of our An An.”
“Hello auntie, my name is He Xin. It’s Ning An who has been taking care of me.” He Xin hurriedly bowed and blushed as he looked at Elina. No wonder Ning An was so good looking. “I’ll be troubling you guys for the next few days.”
He looked at Elina again and softly said, “Auntie, you look very pretty……”
“He Xin’s mouth is so sweet. Did you eat a lot of sugar?” Elina smiled even brighter and gave He Xin a warm hug. “Alright, let’s get in the car.”
Ning An got in the back seat with a dazed He Xin and idly chatted with Elina.
“Mum, how come you came to pick us up?”
“I missed my baby ah.” Ning An didn’t mind that Elina called him ‘baby’ in front of his classmate. What was so embarrassing about a parent’s love? “After I send the two of you back, I’ll be going on a business trip.”
Ning An could roughly guess and nodded, expressing that he understood. “What about Meng Meng?”

Elina had never asked about Ning An’s or Ning Meng’s grades. So long as they were happy, then that was enough.
Elina really did just send Ning An and He Xin back home before rushing to catch a starship. Her luggage was already in the car. He Xin carried his bag and was led inside by a servant, but he then realised that Ning An hadn’t walked in with him. He turned around and intended to call him over, but then saw Elina rubbing Ning An’s head and saying something.
It’s better if he didn’t disturb them.
He Xin’s room was next to Ning An’s. After putting his things down, he sat in the room for a while. Ning An didn’t come to find him and he was also hungry, so he decided to open the door and peek his head out. As a result, he saw someone also sticking their head out in front of him.
It was a girl who looked completely like the female version of Ning An. This should be Ning An’s little sister. He Xin pulled the door fully open and said to Ning Meng, “Hello, my name is He Xin. I’m……”
“I know, I know. You’re my brother’s friend, right? I’m called Ning Meng.” Ning Meng smiled sweetly and extended a hand to He Xin. “Hello, welcome to our house. Let’s go downstairs and eat?”
He Xin agreed. When the two of them walked downstairs, they just happened to see Ning An coming in from outside. Ning Meng immediately rushed over and hugged him. “Brother!”
“En.” Ning An almost fell over, but he took a step back to steady himself and patted Ning Meng’s head. “Let’s go eat.”
This was the first meal that He Xin had eaten since the start of the semester that was not a nutrition pack. Adding on the chef’s skills and the top notch ingredients, he ate until his stomach was bursting. He leaned back in the chair and let out a burp.
“It’s very delicious, right?” Ning Meng grinned as she stabbed a piece of roast meat and put it into her mouth. The greasy stain around her lips caused Ning An to frown.
“Pay attention to your image.”
“Why are you so serious ah, brother? This is my home. Don’t be like our dear old etiquette teacher.” Ning Meng roughly wiped her mouth with a napkin and drank the lemonade beside her. She then copied He Xin and also burped as she sat paralysed on the chair.
Ning An felt that if Ning Meng’s etiquette teacher were to see her current appearance, she would be extremely angry.
After drinking nutrition packs for so long, Ning An felt that he ate a little too much. In the end, the three of them sat paralysed on the sofa like salted fish
“What are we doing in the afternoon?” Ning Meng crossed her legs and flicked through the channels on her display screen, stopping on a channel that was broadcasting an idol drama.
“I’m going to sleep.” After eating, Ning An started to feel drowsy. He yawned and laid down on the sofa. The cheesy dialogue from the idol drama caused him to get goose bumps all over. “He Xin, what are you planning to do?”
“I’m also going to take an afternoon nap.” He Xin was not familiar with the Capital Star, and he also couldn’t walk all over the place in someone else’s house. He had stayed up many nights nearing the end of the semester, so he was now also feeling tired.
“Is military school really exhausting?” Ning Meng could see that the two of them looked a little haggard. “Right, brother, didn’t you say that you wanted to get first place in the exam? How did you go?”
“I missed it by far. I got fifty sixth place.” Ning An opened his terminal and took a glance before continuing to laze about on the sofa.
Although he really was aiming for the money in the beginning, with his current ranking, getting the scholarship was completely impossible. However, he didn’t really feel sad or disappointed. He even felt quite satisfied with his grades.
Ning An looked at his own bank balance. “Tomorrow, I’ll treat you guys to some good food.”
A vacation wouldn’t be complete without sleeping in. The next day, Ning An and He Xin slept until almost midday before waking up. Walking down the stairs one after another, they then saw a plate of sliced sandwiches on the dining table.
Ning Meng was meeting up with a friend, so she had already gone out to play. The sandwiches were also made at that time, so now they weren’t emitting any heat. Looking at the deflated sandwich slices, Ning An didn’t really want to eat them.
Ning Meng then sent him a message —–
[Brother, have you woken up yet? Come help your little sister carry things. I can’t carry any more~] She then attached a location after the message.
“Let’s go out to eat.” Seeing the cold pickle slices wedged between the bread, Ning An lost his appetite. He might as well drink a nutrition pack.
“Hm?” He Xin’s stomach was already rumbling. Not caring whether it was hot or cold, he grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth. Vaguely asking something, he then swallowed the sandwich and repeated his question.
“What happened?”
“I need to go help Ning Meng carry things. We might as well go out and eat.” Ning An directly put down the cutlery in his hands. “Let’s go, let’s go. If you eat this cold thing you’ll get diarrhoea. Also, I said yesterday that I would treat you to some good food.”
Girls always had unlimited potential when they went window shopping. After Ning An and He Xin saw the load of bags in different sizes in Ning Meng’s hands, they experienced firsthand the severity of this saying.
I finally caught up and xD ahh i love this story so far! Thanks for updating so muchh.
So just to be clear, in the original version he got 2nd place, but in this version he got 56th place? It’s so hard to keep track. 😅😅
Yep
Yes, but this feels more realistic, it’s getting so nice! (^._.^)ﾉ
He got 56th here? Aww… well, at least there’s an alternate reality where he got 2nd.
Thanks for the chapter!
I just received new notifications for every chapter of this story from episode 1 to here.
I’m not understanding why? 😫
I updated all the chapters to the new version of this novel and the chapters are split differently. So instead of just updating the old chapters I had to delete them and add the new ones (otherwise the comments wouldn’t match with the contents of the chapter)
I see. That gives us a reason to reread it 😁
So him getting 2nd Place was some sort of April Fools joke?
nah i just updated the chapters to the latest version of this novel
Is it still window shopping if she buys out half of the store?
Thanks for the chapter!
Hope Fu’s sister is coming!
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️♥️♥️
