As soon as Ni Xi finished speaking, he heard a click, as if something had fallen to the ground, and then there was a sudden loud music, covering up other strange sounds.

Resisting the urge to knock open the door and go in to find out, Ni Xi waited patiently outside.

It took about a minute or two for the study door to open.

This small study room is less than 30 square meters, so Ni Xi saw the young man standing in front of the Ming Dynasty at a glance, and smelled a strange fragrance.

Well, like the kind he smelled from Yang Xueying.

Is there really a girl in the room?

Soon, Ni Xi's attention shifted from the girl's scent, when he saw the face of the young man in front of him clearly.

This is a face that is a little too delicate, and the complexion is fair and delicate, coupled with the young man's eyebrow-length bangs, thick black hair, wearing a pure black woolen sweater, and a narrow-legged jeans on the lower body, at first glance, Ni Xi even thought that this was the girl whose cousin hid in the room!

However, soon Ni Xi found the vague appearance of Xiao Ni in his memory from the overly delicate face of the young man.

And what the young man said was also serious, he was Ni Ruo.

"Brother?"

The young man called out to Ni Xi in a tentative tone, his dark eyes flickering with curiosity, nervousness, and obvious weakness.

Ni Xi didn't pay attention to the strange tone of the young man's call to him, "brother", because his attention shifted from the young man's appearance to the young man's voice.

Isn't a normal sixteen-year-old boy in the period of voice change, shouldn't it be a male duck's voice? There is even a voice change that is done and is already close to the voice of an adult man. However, why is this cousin's voice not much different from the voice of Xiao Ni Ruo in his memory?

It's still so... Crisp, even a little more imperceptible softness!

Is this his cousin?

Ni Xi couldn't help but have such a strange thought in his mind.

"Ni Ruo?" Ni Xi couldn't help but confirm the identity of the other party in a tentative tone, and then without waiting for the other party to answer, he couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and your brother almost can't recognize it, haha." ”

After speaking, a habit hidden deep in his memory made Ni Xi can't help but reach out and touch the other party's head.

When Ni Ruo was a child, Ni Xi liked to touch his head like this, and every time he saw the annoyed look of little Ni Ruo's hairstyle after it was destroyed, he couldn't help laughing.

However, when Ni Xi's palm was close to the top of Ni Ruo's head, he found that because of his height, this movement was no longer as smooth as it was six or seven years ago, and he was keenly aware of the unnatural look on Ni Ruo's face, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

His eyes shifted from Ni Ruo, and he glanced around the small study, especially the two places under the bed and the wardrobe for an extra second, Ni Xicai asked, "What were you doing in there just now, why did you suddenly close the door?" ”

I don't know if Ni Ruo felt that his room was too small and cramped, or he didn't want Ni Xi to see more, so he took two steps forward, so that Ni Xi had to get out of the way, and then both of them entered the living room, and then he said: "I didn't know that you were going home, and I thought it was a bad guy who came in suddenly, so I was a little nervous." ”

Ni Xi sat down on the sofa, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "Bad people won't use a key to open the door, right?" ”

"I didn't notice that the key opened the door..." Halfway through the explanation, Ni Ruo bluntly changed the topic and said, "Well, brother, you haven't finished eating yet, have you?" I have noodles at home, why don't I order some noodles for you to eat? ”

"You can also cook noodles?" Ni Xi was even more surprised when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but quip: "It's not bad, I awakened our Ni family's talent for cooking so early." ”

Ni Ruo didn't say anything, smiled shyly and walked into the kitchen and got busy.

Ni Xi glanced at the living room, then got up and looked at the other rooms, and found that they were indeed more organized and clean than when he was at home. After pouring himself a glass of boiling water and sitting back on the sofa, Ni Xi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the busy young man in the kitchen, and his expression became strange.

Just when he was talking to Ni Ruo just now, he actually received a system message.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the special mission - to help my cousin Ni Ruo counterattack. Complete special missions to earn a large number of points and bundles as well as system rewards. However, due to the special nature of special missions, certain abilities of the host will be limited. There is no time limit for the task, but the longer it is delayed, the less the reward. In addition, during the special mission, the host is not allowed to help characters other than the target of the special mission counterattack. For specific situations, please explore slowly. ”

Knowing the content of the information, Ni Xi felt even more strange.

This is the first time that the system has taken the initiative to issue a task to him, and I don't know if it's because the system store has been upgraded, or because Ni Ruo is too special.

In addition, although there is no time limit for this task, the sooner it can be completed, the better. Otherwise, not only will you get fewer rewards later, but it will also be difficult to start a new journey to help others counterattack.

Ni Xi's kitchen is also semi-open, and when Ni Xi came to the outside of the kitchen, he looked at Ni Ruo with his leaky eyes.

Looking at this, Ni Xi's expression was even more eccentric.

The information he saw was as follows-

Race: Human

Name: Ni Ruo

Age: 16

Gender:?

Physical Condition:?

System message: This is a foggy mission goal, and the host must first pass through the fog to find a way to help the other party counterattack~

Gender and physical condition are actually question marks?!

What's going on with this Nima?!

Physical condition is a question mark, which can also be understood as the system deliberately obscuring information to increase the difficulty of the task. But gender is also a question mark? Does this system rely on face or voice to identify gender? His brother is obviously a boy, okay?

When he was a child, he still hugged Ni Ruo and booed, which can be proven!

For a while, Ni Xi was completely confused.

"Brother... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

The crisp voice brought Ni Xi back to his senses.

However, when Ni Xi's eyes focused on Ni Ruo again, it was even more weird.

Ni Ruo was obviously uncomfortable by Ni Xi, and he was obviously nervous.

Ni Xi wanted to shout at this time, "Who kind of monster are you, you dare to become my brother's appearance, and hurry up and show me your original form!" But in the end, he smiled with snow-white teeth and said, "It's just that I'm surprised that you are so skilled in the noodle cooking process, why, you usually cook and eat at home?" ”

Hearing Ni Xi say this, Ni Ruo relaxed a little and said, "No, it's just that sometimes when I come back from night self-study, I will cook some noodles as a supper." ”

Ni Xi nodded and didn't say anything more.

After a while, Ni Ruo cooked the noodles and served them in a large white porcelain bowl.

It is very simple green vegetable egg noodles, the eggs are fried golden, tender and not old, and the green vegetables are also verdant, as if they have just been picked. Ni Xi sat at the dining table and tasted it, although the taste was a bit list, it was just right for his taste, and it felt quite good.

"Great!" Ni Xi couldn't help but smile and gave Ni Ruo a thumbs up, "Your talent as a chef is higher than mine, when I am as old as you, I can cook noodles and eat them, but I can't do it like this." ”

Hearing Ni Xi's praise, Ni Ruo became shy again, and even his delicate face was a little red.

Seeing that Ni Ergou next to him was looking at Ni Xi with a greedy face with his tongue extended, Ni Ruo immediately shifted his attention, looked at Ni Ergou and said in surprise: "Brother, is this the dog you brought back?" It's so cute! ”

Ni Xi tilted his head, looking at Ni Ruo who wanted to touch Ni Ergou but didn't dare, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a stray dog I picked up in Jiangcheng, I named it Ni Ergou." It's smart and docile, you can touch it if you want, and it won't bite you. ”

"Really?" Having said this, Ni Ruo couldn't help but squat down, smiling, his eyes shining, and carefully slowly approaching Ni Ergou's head.

Only then did Ni Xi notice that Ni Ruo's hands were also very fair-skinned, and his fingers were slender and round, just like a girl's hand.

This made Ni Xi think of the question mark behind the gender in his basic information again, and said secretly: Why does the system put a question mark after the gender?
