3 Ea

When they arrived in the cafeteria, since classes were still ongoing, they were the only students inside.

After buying their food for lunch, they went to the nearest vacant table to eat together.

"What time are you going to go online tonight?" Xia Meilin asked as she paused from eating her food.

"Around nine. I still have other things to do," replied Li Bingbing. Since Li Bingbing was a working student, she would usually go to work after her classes.

Li Bingbing took a glance at Xia Sinian who was quiet the whole time. "Do you play MB too?"

"Mm."

Li Bingbing furrowed her brows. Was that a yes or a no? What kind of response was that?

"I would usually play together with my brother. His name is Clover in the game."

Li Bingbing gasped in surprise when she heard what Xia Meilin said. Clover was known to be one of the earliest players and the player with the highest level in the game. "Man, who would have thought that you're actually one of the first few players in the game."

Xia Sinian didn't say anything, he just continued to eat his sandwich quietly.

Seeing the quantity of his food, Li Bingbing pushed her tray filled with food to him. "You should eat more, I don't think that sandwich is enough for you."

"No thanks, this is enough." Although just like what Li Bingbing said, the sandwich wasn't enough for him. He was really hungry and seeing the food in front of him tempted him a lot that's why he tried pushing the tray back to Li Bingbing's side but Li Bingbing stopped him.

"Eat." Li Bingbing said firmly.

A low growl was heard from Xia Sinian's stomach which made Li Bingbing grinned. She stood up and went to sit on his side instead. "Come on, you don't need to be shy. Let's eat together, okay?"

Xia Sinian turned to his sister as if asking her for help but Xia Meilin was just smiling at him.

She has seen her brother skipped meals a few times in their house and she can only guess how hungry he might have been. Although he was not telling it to her, Xia Meilin knows that Xia Sinian was trying to lose weight.

In the end, Xia Sinian gave in and decided to eat the food that Li Bingbing offered.

Li Bingbing was pleased to see that Xia Sinian was eating more but looking at how the food was easily consumed, she stood up. "I'll go get more, okay?"

"Ah, no... you don't have-"

"You're not the only one starving here, I am too." She chuckled lightly.

"Oh... I'm sorry for eating your share..." Xia Sinian lowered his head.

"Nah, it's okay." She patted his shoulder and grinned at him. "You can treat me for it later~" She winked playfully at him.

A faint blush appeared on Xia Sinian's cheeks and because of how bright Li Bingbing was for him, he couldn't help but want to hide and avoid her gaze.

When Li Bingbing went to get more food, the school bell rang and students started filling up the cafeteria. Because of this, Xia Sinian was starting to get conscious as students would steal glances on their table.

Although it might not be obvious but Xia Sinian was really feeling insecure when he is in a crowded place.

A young blond haired boy that was followed by his lackeys, went towards their table and shot a charming smile to Xia Meilin. "Hi, my name is Tan Luo ~ Are you knew? This is my first time seeing you here."

"Yes, I am obviously new here." Xia Meilin said with a plain smile.

"What's your name?" He went and sat beside her.

"Xia Meilin."

Tan Luo blinked a few times when he heard her name. Xia? He turned to look at Xia Sinian who was sitting on the opposite side of the table, looking back at him with a blank look on his face. "Don't tell me... that you're related?"

"Why yes, as a matter he is my older brother."

As soon as Xia Meilin finished saying that, Tan Luo started laughing out loud and he was accompanied by his companions, this caught the attention of other students. "Hahaha! Seriously?!"

Xia Meilin's eyes became cold as she looked at Tan Luo. She was about to open her mouth and say something but Xia Sinian spoke ahead of her. "Meilin."

Seeing her brother shake his head, Xia Meilin's lips were stretched into a straight line. She hated this part of her brother, he was too kind!

"This is so unexpected, are you two really related? How can it be possible? Who's the adopted one, you or him?" Tan Luo smirked.

"Why don't you come and join us instead, Ms. Xia?" Bing He, one of Tan Luo's companion said with a smile.

"Yeah, leave this boring brother of yours, I can be your-"

Tan Luo was cut off when he suddenly felt a cold liquid flowing down from his head.

He turned and saw Li Bingbing, holding an empty can of soda. "Oops, my hand slipped."

After placing the can of soda on the table, Li Bingbing took the bowl of soup and splashed it on him. "Oh my, how clumsy of me."
