Cooked Well

Fen Yichen wasn't exactly angry about the car. Even if it suddenly vanish, he wouldn't care that much. He would just call the police and be done with it. 

It was because of Xie Mingze that he was frustrated. He was too trustful, it was a bit hard to leave him. What if one day somebody decided to just trick him and he would follow him. 

"He was about to cry."

"What?"

"Oliver was about to cry, so just this time I tried to trust him."

Yichen clenched his fest, he still can't understand. If someone had been rude to you, shouldn't you return the favor a thousand times over? If it were up to him, he would let Oliver grovel on the ground giving him hope before ultimately crushing his hopes of borrowing the car. 

"You're far to kind. What am I supposed to do if someone steal my Ming?"

"Nobody will, because I'm unpopular. Don't you already know what people think of me? I am labeled as Fen Yichen's lover letters postman."

He had deliver to much letter, he should definitely charge them the next time. Though that seemed impossible them. As soon as Xie Mingze thought of a new side hustle, he quickly shot down the idea. Yichen already announced their fake relationship, everyone must be aware by now. 

Nobody would be bold enough to ask the current boyfriend to deliver a love letter.

"I'm glad, I'm the only one who knows your charm."

'Anyone else who knows them, I would make them disappear.'

The last one was ofcourse not verbally voiced, Mingze unaware of his childhood friend's inner thought just slapped the hands patting his head. 

"Stop patting my head!"

"Ming is such a goodboy, you are nice to those in needs. So I was thinking maybe you wanted to be praised."

"No, you're just making fun of my height. Taking advantage of your tallness. Aha I'll just call you bamboo. Annoying isn't it?"

His words were like shallow scratch marks, scratching the itch in his heart. He wanted to swallow him whole, but if he did that Xie Mingze would no longer exist so he would just stay happy with keeping him to himself.

"You gotta try harder than that. Before that let's have lunch first."

Xie Mingze smiled agreeing thinking of a great idea of pissing of Fen Yichen. 

***

"I nominate myself to buy lunch. Yichen you could just sit there."

This time he got a good plan, he's going to buy octopus spicy based dish and offer it to him. For sure he would get angry because he is allergic to it. Then after pissing him off, he would give him his real lunch. 

Of course, this plan was just a matter of him asking the lunch aunties for help. The lunch aunties is always nice to Mingze and gives him extra scoops of food. 

Yichen was left on their table while his friend Zheyan was with him to take the tray of food back to their table.

"Are you sure? Is that even capable of pissing off Yichen? I personally had never seen him angry."

"I'm sure he would get angry. He recently said he was allergic and if I present this to him of course he would be angry. This is the same thing with a friend forgetting about his buddies' birthday. Usually when that happened sulking or getting angry is the normal reaction."

"Well, if you say so. Just know I'm not part of this prank of yours. I'm freaking scared of your boyfriend, just spare me."

"He's always nice and smiling."

"I would like to believe we are talking about two different type of person."

The title of boyfriend still sounds foreign to Xie Mingze, still he tried to ignore it. 

The line was a bit long, Xie Mingze surveyed the food in advance to check what is available and started planning what he will eat. 

"Ming what would you having?"

"One omurice and spicy fried octopus. One set each." 

The food was placed on the tray, he picked some Kimchi too for the side dish before buying two canned drinks for both of them. Feeling a bit devilish he shake it a bit before placing it back to the tray. He knew Fen Yichen have extra clothes in his locker reserved for PE so getting a little bit wet wouldn't be a problem for him. 

He placed the heavy tray on the table with a thud. 

"What do you have for me?"

"Here I ordered a spicy fried octopus for you. I know for sure you would like it."

This time Xie Mingze was deeply focused on Fen Yichen's face. His facial expression didn't change much and it felt like he got hyped out for nothing. 

Spicy fried octopus. Yichen chuckled at the thought of Mingze's attempt at pissing him off. It was obvious he was doing it on purpose. 

"Ming really knows me well."

Urgh, he felt like he was attacked. Xie Mingze would agree even if someone out of the blue would demand him to break it off with Yichen because he doesn't know his preferences. In fact he was not attentive.

"If you don't like it you can have this first."

Mingze put the shaken canned soft drinks in front of Fen Yichen feeling a bit nervous, not aware that he was already caught shaking the can before he sat down at their table.

"Are you crazy?" He couldn't help but exclaimed after he saw Yichen eating the food in front of him. He nonchalantly scooped a lot and ate before Mingze could react.

"You're right I quite like the taste. The lunch ladies cooked it well."

"Spit it out! Crazy, aren't you allergic."

While Xie Mingze was pulling his hair out of frustration, Fen Yichen got the guts to laugh at his worried expression. 

'That's right focus on me. Keep all your attention on me.'

Those were his thoughts while his chest started to tighten, his breathing became rugged feeling like his throat was closing up. It was his allergies acting up.
