Jealousy

At the cafeteria.

LinLin sulked after Wang Hua disconnected the call.

"Hey, what happened? Where's Hua'er?" Micheal asked.

"Wang Hua can't come..huhu.. She abandoned me..huhu.."

"Hey..don't be so dramatic," Jason rolled his eyes.

"You..! Shut up! huhu..."

Danial paused and takes out his phone and type a message.

'Where r u?' -Danial

They continue to eat until it's time for the next class. But Danial felt gloomy as Wang Hua never reply his text. They walk towards their respective faculty and suddenly he stopped.

"What happened?"

"You go to the class first. I got something to do."

Calvin watched in the direction he went to and contemplating either to follow him or not.

Meanwhile, Danial slowly follow behind the 'couple', as they giggling and joking about something. They arrived at the library's cafe and enter. He took a seat at a corner which overlooking their seats and continue to watch everything that unfolding not too far from him.

He clenched his jaws and fists when he saw how amiable they are.

'That's why you can't join us for lunch, huh. You have a date.'

He really want to storm towards their table, but he doesn't want to make a ruckus. So, he inhaled deeply to curb his temper.

Wang Hua and Tong Zhan who was oblivious of someone jealousy continue to eat and joking about the said conference.

"Do you think we should try to learn some Germany language?" Tong Zhan asked.

"Yes..I think so. It's more convenient to interact with them, no?"

"So let's see," Tong Zhan takes out his phone and search for Germany basic language.

Wang Hua stretch her head closer to peek.

"The number..umm..'null..eins..z..wei..drei..vier..fun..f.. -"

"Hahaha..your pronunciation is so funny."

"Fu*k! What the hell is this language? I almost twisted my tongue," Tong Zhan exclaimed.

Wang Hua try to curb her laughters which she end up coughing. Tong Zhan quickly fetch her some water and pats her back to smooth her breathing.

"Serve you right. Laughing at my face," he harrumphed.

Wang Hua just giggles and they continue to eat before they went out of the cafe and enter the library. They had been dismissed from their respective class for the rest of the day to focus on the conference discussion. So here they are, trying to find some books and journals that Mr Ou and other lecturers recommended for the conference.

"Can't I dismissed myself from the conference? Urghh..I had so many things to do. It's my final year," Tong Zhan pulls out his hair in frustration.

"Shushhh..we're in the library."

"Right..sorry."

..

Danial watched them for a while before he stormed off from the library. He wants to smash his head on the nearby tree to vent out his anger and frustration.

'She looked so happy with the man. Although he was not that handsome, but he looked decent enough. Maybe that's why she doesn't needed my company to the library, right?'

'Maybe they're just a friend. From the man jacket, he is an electrical student too. So they might be classmate. Don't think too much.'

'Hey, that's exactly why they're compatible right?'

'Don't jump into your own conclusion, you should ask her first.'

'They looked so happy, laughing together, eating together...what's more to ask for? She might deny it.'

His mind and heart battled to prove their own stands, thus making him more frustrated.

Calvin, whom at the end decided to followed him, watched everything that happened too, included Danial's angry face and frustration. He stayed not too far from him, to ensure he did not do something unreasonable.

'You're already deep in the mud, Dan.'

....

"Hey, hey..Hua'er. Oh how much I missed you," Micheal dramatically exclaimed.

Calvin smacks his head while glancing at Danial, but Danial just sit at the table with poker face. He sighed silently.

"Wow..you cook dinner tonight?"

Jason eagerly looks at the tote bag and big box that the girls brought.

"Really? Oh it's smell delicious. No wonder you told us not to eat dinner yet. Faster, faster..I'm starving," Micheal exclaimed.

Wang Hua smile at their childish actions while LinLin rolled her eyes. They pass everyone a container of egg noodles each. The boys open their meal and salivating.

On the top of the noodles, there's some shredded chicken and beef, two halves of three-quarter boiled egg and some pak choi and shredded carrots. It's look so yummy. The aroma wafted in the air attracted some people nearby.

"Don't peek and salivating. This is mine," Micheal childishly chided a male student whom eagerly looks at his noodles. He hides his noodles with his arm.

"Dig in."

"Wooohooo..this is sooooooo yummy."

Everyone nodded with their full mouth.

"I'm glad you like it. It's my grandmother's recipe."

"Yeah, yeah..here a box of pizza," LinLin patted the box in front of them.

"Eat more then. Later you won't be able to eat her foods for over a week."

Everyone pause in eating and look at Wang Hua in bewilderment.
