"What do you want? I'll go get it for the two of you," Gao Tian offered, already finished with his own meal.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Xiu, accustomed to Gao Tian, Wan Zhu, and Kang Jinhai fetching their food back in high school, listed their lunch preferences.
Seeing his friend about to leave him alone with the others, Xu Bin promptly stood up and followed.
"You're ordering again?" Gao Tian asked as Xu Bin trailed him.
"Why? You want to order for me too?" Xu Bin retorted.
Gao Tian scoffed, "As if."
"You can't just leave me there alone."
"What are you, a kid?"
"I felt like I'm sitting on spikes next to Jiang Yue," Xu Bin remarked, eliciting a light chuckle from Gao Tian.
"She doesn't bite—"
"She doesn't, indeed, but she beats people up—I heard she could even take down men double her size," he whispered to Gao Tian through gritted teeth, but then added with admiration, "But damn, aren't they too pretty up close?"
