Zhang Wang Lei exclaimed as he modeled in front of the mirror. The black-rimmed clear glasses look great on him, it's not awkward or bad to look at him. Especially paired with their uniform, he looks like the second male lead in a manhwa. The one who's obviously a green flag and a great choice but still not chosen.
"Not bad, the plus charm points really is effective ah." Combing his hair backward, he grinned at the mirror. Posing left and right, he can't help but took out his phone and snap some pictures of himself. Zhang Wang Lei bit his lip and shrieked inwardly, twisting his body uncontrollably.
"Shit! This is what you call a killer smile hehe, now I can understand what that narcissistic mc who loves themselves too much…if I'm this good looking, I'll really fall in love ahhh.." He sighed. Fixing his collar, posed his side view and bowed a little, with a little smirk on his face, he took a shot.
Doing various poses and taking some selfies and mirror shots, he felt satisfied scrolling in his gallery. Ha…if he could he will take pictures every minute. Zhang Wang Lei sighed, patting his chest, he left. Zhang Wang Lei raised his eyebrows when he saw Li Shiyu impatiently tapping the floor with his foot.
"What are you doing? I've been waiting for you, dumbass," snarled Li Shiyu, glaring at him. Li Shiyu raised his arms to strike him. Li Shiyu aggressively threw him his bag, which he had asked Li Shiyu to hold before going to the bathroom. Zhang Wang Lei gave a sheepish grin. "I couldn't help myself; I'm too handsome...can't stop looking, aiyo.."."
Li Shiyu flips his middle finger, raising his arms to hit him. "You! I'm really gonna hit you someday. And, where did you get those glasses?" He asks, pointing at the glasses Zhang Wang Lei's wearing. In all fairness, it suits him. But of course, he wouldn't say that for the sake of his peace of mind.
"Online shopping." It's actually the reward from the task he has no idea about, Zhang Wang Lei thought. Li Shiyu rolled his eyes and drag him to the cafeteria. His steps are fast and big.
"I'm hungry, let's eat. I'm famished!" Zhang Wang Lei looked at him dumbly. Hungry? famished? Looks like he's really hungry. The quote, 'You're not you when you're hungry,' suits Li Shiyu. He smiled and took the lead. "I want some meat buns…do you know what's the menu today?"
"It's the usual…do you think it will change? the school is too cheap, you know."
"Hahahaha…really?"
Pushing the cafeteria door, they are welcomed by the bustling noise. Almost all of the tables are full and the queue is so long. Li Shiyu let out a pissed grunt and then pinch the arms he is holding harder. "Ah! Ouch, why did you pinch me?!" Li Shiyu grabbed Zhang Wang Lei's jaw and point around the whole cafeteria.
"Look around, it's because of you we're late! The line is so long…the table…ugh!" Zhang Wang Lei chuckled awkwardly. Well, it's partly his fault. He's so handsome eh…
"Okay, sorry…it's my treat this time!" He pulled him to the line and place Li Shiyu at the last. He stared at him and spoke in a voice as if he were saying an imperial decree.
"You will buy our food, I will find the table. Trust me in this one, okay? Give me your bag." Li Shiyu snorted before snatching the student card in his hands and throwing his bag at him before pushing him away.
Zhang Wang Lei saluted, marching around in a playful manner. He stood in the center, scanning the entire cafeteria. His face lit up when he noticed a familiar figure sitting alone at a four-seater table. He formed an apologetic smile as he marched toward that person.
"Ah, excuse me. Hello?" The person frowns as he taps his shoulder. "Hi, I remember you were the one I hit earlier? I'm really sorry about that," Zhang Wang Lei said, pointing to his face. The man tilted his head in confusion, seizing him up to down. Looks like he didn't recognize Zhang Wang Lei.
"I was the guy at the stair earlier, the one who almost made you fall?" He remove his glasses and wave at his own face, only did the other guy's face lighten. "I didn't manage to say sorry because you suddenly ran away….."
The other shook his head and waved his hand dismissively, "Ah…don't worry." Zhang Wang Lei nodded and let out a hum of understanding. He stood still for a minute before speaking again, "Ahm, I know this is pretty shameless but are you sitting alone?"
The man scanned the cafeteria before staring at him and then nodding his head. He gestures to Zhang Wang Lei to the empty seat before him. "Ah, Thanks! We came pretty late so the tables are almost full." He smiled and put the bags in the other chair. The sound of the chair screeching against the floor made the other person face's twitched a bit before humming in understanding. "Hmm,"
Another awkward silence hung in the air. The person across from him resumed eating and completely ignored Zhang Wang Le's presence. Zhang Wang Lei, unable to stand the awkward silence due to his outgoing personality, spoke to break the silence. "I'd like to apologize; may I treat you? anything? or....help you?"
The other frowned in confusion, slowly putting his utensils down. Zhang Wang Lei lean forward and place his hands above the table. "I mean, as a way of saying sorry. I want to treat you or you can ask me a favor. Like helping to move boxes?"
Hearing that the other shook his head and resume eating. "It's okay. You don't need to treat me or anything. Just next time don't run that fast."
"But I want to! My dad said that I should always return a favor, whether I'm at fault or not." 'My dad didn't say that but…whatever.' Zhang Wang Lei thought, he looked at the person before him seriously. He sincerely hopes to pay him back and to get his mission done.
"...." Zhang Wang Lei bit his lips seeing the other's lackadaisical response. Swallowing, he let out a bright smile. "Don't be pressured! Ahm, you can take your time thinking about it."
"O…kay." Zhang Wang Lei's actions and words baffled the person a bit. He's not quite sure how to respond to Zhang Wang Lei's enthusiasm, he didn't even know how to respond.
"That's great. Ah, I'm Zhang Wang Lei. Third-year student, class 3-B. How about you?"
The man stared at him, blinking continuously before extending his hand. "I'm Charles Evan, an exchange student."
Zhang Wang Lei grinned outwardly and inwardly, he finally knows the name of the protagonist officially and the first step to a long-lasting friendship has been accomplished! "Nice to meet you!"
