Lunch with the tyrant

Silence.

Wei Ying came back to a class filled with silence, some holding their breaths, some looking him up and down trying to find traces of being beaten up and some trying to ask him what happened but not having the courage.

He walked back to his seat in a daze and as soon as he sat down his face hit the table. The silence was broken by a loud 'thud'.

Wen Ning raised his head and frowned at the strange situation in his class.

"What happened?" he asked Wei Ying sitting next to him "Why is everyone looking here weirdly?"

What happened?! You wanna know what happened?! I'll tell you loud and clear!

Wen Ning's stomach was punched suddenly, he wasn't expecting to be hit and groaned. Wei Ying raised his head and gave him a death glare.

The silence in the class became more eerie. Looking at the class president become violent after a single meeting with the school tyrant everyone decided to mind their own business and looked away from him.

"What the hell, Ying!" Ning whispered loudly

"That's what you get for sleeping!" Wei Ying spat and looked away. He really couldn't believe this friend of his. While he was going through hell he was peacefully sleeping.

Remembering earlier events Wei Ying couldn't help but cry. He has shed way too many imaginary tears today. He worried there weren't any more left.

He only wanted to give the love letter to the school flower then how did the letter end up with the school tyrant?

He only wanted to date his goddess then how did end up with the devil?!

Ah he should have known. Love will only bring trouble. He shouldn't have fallen in love with Ah Qing. He shouldn't have confessed. If only.

Bullshit!

It wasn't his fault! How could he not fall in love with Ah Qing?! How could he not confess his love?!

It was all that stupid website's fault! He shouldn't have trusted it!

'Love letters are the most romantic way to confess'

'Will never fail!'

Yeah, it really didn't fail. Even the school tyrant couldn't resist 'the most romantic way to confess'! It's effectiveness was too much!

Where was the warning to make sure no one else gets the letter?! Such unreliable websites really shouldn't exist. They can cause chaos. Like they have in Wei Ying's life!

Wei Ying gritted his teeth cursing the owner of the websites. He calmed himself when the teacher entered the class. Taking a deep breath he took out his notebook. He'll think about this situation later then.

From morning till lunch he had experienced way too many emotions and scary thoughts that he was tired. In his innocent excitement he didn't even have breakfast. He was about to ask someone to bring him lunch too when the door was slammed once again.

There stood the school tyrant, high and mighty. The moment Wei Ying saw him he screamed really loud and almost fell down from his seat. Thankfully the scream was only in his heart or his reputation would be down the drain now.

"Wei Ying, come out"

Wei Ying gulped and got up to leave.

Jiang Cheng who sat on the seat behind Wei Ying's looked at him leave in worry. In the morning he had come back unharmed albeit in a daze. But now he was called by the school tyrant again? He decided to follow them and if he tried to harm Wei Ying he would call the teacher.

Wei Ying cried silent tears as he followed behind school tyrant. Could it be that he had finally realised his mistake and was going to beat him to make sure he never speaks of it again?

Lan Zhan stopped at his usual spot and sat on the bench under the tree. He looked at Wei Ying who seemed lost in thoughts.

"Sit"

Wei Ying looked around and realised he didn't know this part of the school. It must be some secluded part that they weren't allowed to enter.

He gulped and sat in front of the school tyrant. He wiped his sweaty hands on his pants and looked down at them.

How can he dare to look in the eyes of the school tyrant and provoke him?! He didn't want to court death, thankyou very much!

He felt his stomach churn and glared at it. Not a good time, stomach!

He sighed. He really couldn't handle hunger well and right now he was really hungry. He hoped whatever the other guy wanted would be done soon.

He's willing to get beaten just make it fast so he can then go eat ok?

Suddenly a lunch box was placed in front of him. He looked at it with big eyes and then at the school tyrant.

Is this a prank? Was the food poisoned? Or drugged?

He wasn't willing to eat it but under the sharp gaze of the school tyrant he picked up a spoon and started eating.

He froze as soon as he ate.

This....

This!

This is delicious!

He has eaten many delicacies but he never thought a simple lunch could be this delicious. He quickly took a few more bites.

"It's delicious" he muttered

"Thankyou"

Thankyou?

Did the school tyrant just thank him?

He didn't think he would ever hear such a word from him.

And what was he thanking him for?

Don't tell me! He made this?!

Wei Ying laughed at this thought. That was too funny. Imagining school tyrant with his intense glare standing in kitchen. He stopped his imagination at that or else he really would laugh at the school tyrant in front of him. He didn't want to die an early death.

Wei Ying coughed and adjusting his glasses with his left hand he said

"You, you eat too"

The school tyrant picked up a spoon and the two silently ate a home cooked lunch.

Maybe the school tyrant wasn't that bad after all? Which school tyrant brings home cooked lunch boxes and shares them with his lover?

While Wei Ying was reforming his view of the school tyrant Jiang Cheng who was peeking from a further corner narrowed his eyes.

Is this a new approach to scare others? Forcefully make them eat lunch? Was the food poisoned? Drugged? Or worse, awfully cooked!?

He couldn't help but feel bad for the poor class president. Hang in there, prez!

Lan Zhan felt that eating with someone really was different from eating alone. Ever since he entered high school he had eaten here alone or he would eat out somewhere. So eating with someone next to him really felt nice.

Once he was done he saw Wei Ying take out something from his pant's pocket and put it in his mouth. After a moment of chewing he took another gum from his pocket and gave it to him. Lan Zhan couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu looking at his extended hand holding a pink gum.

"Class is about to start. Let's, let's go" Wei Ying said looking away "or we'll be late"

There it was again. This scene was definitely familiar.

Lan Zhan smiled and put the sweet gum in his mouth. He followed Wei Ying with his hands in his pockets and a faint smile on his face.
