Chapter 13

Author's POV--------------



Turns out the voice belonged to the handsome guy who bore a poker face. Mingyu seemed to be sulking for a good while because of the candy. He wondered,If Qingyuan really wants to make Mingyu like him,why didn't he tried to make moves? Or...He had but Mingyu didn't noticed? Qingyuan moves closer to the crowd,saying aloud: "Everyone. Do try your best in playing this game! For those who got top 7,they will get chocolate(s) from me! I made it myself! But for those who's out,don't worry,you'll still get something."

Hearing this,Mingyu's face lit up a little. "I want his chocolate!"He screamed in his heart. The students were excited,knowing there will be a reward no matter if they lost or they won. Such a good deal! Mingyu is determined that he'll be the 1st winner! The higher their rank,more chocolate they will receive right? With such determination,the students started the second round with Shawan and Ling Zi out.

Round after round,more students were kicked out of the game. Still,they're happy to receive a candy from their lovely teacher,Qingyuan. Wang Mingyu was lucky. He's still staying in the game. He was very eager each time a student was kicked out. Qingyuan noticed that Mingyu is quite skilled in the game. He just smiled faintly. He didn't expect that Mingyu is quite serious and skilled for this game. He walked towards him with his arms crossed and a grin on his face. "You're quite serious and skilled in this game. I've never expected that."Qingyuan said with a teasing tone.

Mingyu just humphed. "I'm good in a lot of things,you know? Why aren't you playing? Scared of losing,ah?"He mocked,trying to pick up a fight. However,Qingyuan's patience is high. Thus,he only shook his head with a smile. "I planned to make this game for you students. Let you guys have fun with each other."

Mingyu just raised his brows slightly and focused back to the game when he realized that it's starting. Qingyuan backed away and sat on the chair,watching his students play cheerfully. Shawan smiled and approached Qingyuan. "Mingyu is cold and straight forward,but he mean no harms. Don't worry too much,Qingyuan laoshi."Shawan said. Qingyuan smiled gently at her. "Hm,you seems to know him,Shawan."Qingyuan said.

Shawan frowned slightly and shook her head. "Not really. But about those facts,everyone knows it. Although i know Mingyu since high school,he barely talks to any girls. So,naturally i barely talk to him too. He's always with Qin Xing ,Jingyi,Qiu Ling,Jing Liang. Very close, I heard they're childhood friends. So they're always together. He looks very warm when he's with them. But really,Mingyu mean no harm,Qingyuan laoshi."Shawan smiled.

Qingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked back at Mingyu. He smiled. "Who knows..? He looks kinda interesting to me."Qingyuan said and smiled at the girl. Shawan grinned. "Mingyu got the title 'Cold Prince',you know? He's cold to people he's not close with. Some are even afraid of him."She said,chuckling. Qingyuan chuckled.

"Who knows?"He said,leaving the girl dumbfounded. Two students approached Qingyuan and Shawan and asked Qingyuan for candies. Qingyuan handed them two candies each person and looked over. The circle has become smaller. Not that many people anymore. You can count it. Not more than ten now! Qingyuan excused himself and walked over to the circle. They're still playing.

Qingyuan huffed. He rolled his cardigan sleeve and clapped his hands. "Only 1 people more to be kicked out! Hurry,hurry~ After that it'll be the winners' match!"Qingyuan announced. Sure enough. There's only 8 more people in the circle and to Qingyuan's shock,Mingyu is still there. "That kid is trying quite hard,huh?"He mumbled.

A few minutes passed and finally the last person got kicked out. Xiao Song was upset. He's so close to winning. He walked dejectedly to Qingyuan,hoping for some candies. Qingyuan felt sorry for him and patted his back. He asked Xiao Song to held out his hand and Xiao Song just did so. Qingyuan gave him a lot of candies. Five candies to be exact. Xiao Song's eyes widened. His light is back. Qingyuan ruffled the boy's soft hair and said:"Let's just said that you half-won the game."He smiled.

"Thank you Qingyuan laoshi! Ah! You can take my milk then~I bought two of it!"He said happily. Qingyuan smiled and raised his brow. "Oh? Thank you then. Try the candy. I made it myself."Qingyuan said,taking the milk from Xiao Song. Xiao Song nodded and unwrapped the candy. He threw it into his mouth.

He smiled. "This is good. Thanks Qingyuan laoshi. Never thought that even though i'm out i could get such a good reward. But too bad. i'm so close to winning."He said,laughing awkwardly. Qingyuan patted his back. "You've worked hard."He comforted. Xiao Song nodded, agreeing. He then said; "I need to go! Wutong is waiting for me!"He said. Qingyuan nodded. "OH AND..."He leaned closer to Qingyuan's ear. He's shorter than Qingyuan so he needed to tip-toe a little.

"This is the first time i see Mingyu looked so fired up like that. He seem to be... very serious."He whispered and pulled himself back. "Which is very scary!"Then ran away. Qingyuan was left dumbfounded. He looked at the said boy,tilted his head and mumbled;"First... time?"
