Back to school...
After having fun for two whole days, the group returned to their dorm respectively before the curfew. Since they had to go back to school early morning the next day, the group of friends though unwilling, they still returned back to the dorm obediently.
The boys' dorm...
Sitting on his study table, holding a coffee mug in his hand, Mu Jun gazed at the moon expressionlessly.
As he looked at the moon, unknowingly his thought had wandered off to Sia as he started to recall the time he had spent with Sia.
Her cute expression, her angry face, her love towards her friends and the most amusing one...her love towards food....recalling her cute and silly face, Mu Jun chuckled lightly and shook his head before he sipped his hot coffee.
Shen Yi, who happened to see Mu Jun laugh walked towards Mu Jun while asking "Strange, the great woodblock is laughing to himself? What is it...did you remember something funny?"
Taking a glance at Shen Yi, Mu Jun said with a faint smile "Well...maybe?"
Leaning against the window, Shen Yi turned to Mu Jun and asked "Hmm...then I'm curious. Why not share it with me so that even I can laugh along with you?"
"Forget it....it's nothing" Mu Jun replied while sipping the coffee
"Hmm..." since Mu Jun was not willing to share, Shen Yi did not probe on the matter any further but continued to stare at Mu Jun quietly.
Feeling Shen Yi's gaze, Mu Jun looked out of the window and asked "What is it?"
"You smiled" Shen Yi replied with a mixed expression on his face
"So? it's not like you have never seen me smile" Mu Jun replied.
Shaking his head, Shen Yi replied "No....this smile, it's quite different from the way you used to smile"
"Is it?"
"It looked like You smiled from your heart....and" pausing his words, he looked at Mu Jun ambiguously and said in a low voice "You looked like a boy in love"
"boy in love?" raising his head, Mu Jun looked at Shen Yi and asked, "are you joking?"
"Hmm...what If I say I'm not?"
shaking his head, he stood up from the table and passed the cup to Shen Yi. Patting his shoulder, he said "You better go back to sleep. Seems like you have been too tired and you keep thinking some kind of nonsense" with that said Mu Jun turned around to and made his way towards his bed.
Just as Mu Jun took two steps, he heard Shen Yi call him...
"Mu Jun..." pausing his words, Shen Yi turned around and gazed at Mu Jun's back and said seriously "Why not test yourself? close your eyes, touch your heart, and listen to your heartbeat. The first person who appears in your mind....she is the one whom you love"
Shaking his head, Mu Jun did not comment and walked towards his bed to sleep.
The next day in school, in the cafeteria...
As time passed, the relationship and bond between these friends grew stronger. The once single group now had four lovely couples.
Though the group looked livelier, at the same time it was quite...Uhm, frustrating?
Sia's forehead was covered with black lines as she stared at the four love birds who were behaving intimately out in the public.
Though they did not hug or kiss unlike other couples, Sia and the rest were irked when they watched the couples fill each other's bowl and whisper sweet nothings.
Though the atmosphere in the group had changed a bit, others did not notice since this group always had a weird atmosphere. While outsiders thought that the group was just having fun with each other, only insiders knew how irritating their group has turned out. Moreover, because they usually sat at the far corner, not many people paid attention to this group.
Staring at Si Ming and Lu Jin, who kept asking their girlfriends to eat while saying sweet nothings, Sia trembled in disgust. those sweet and cheesy words which were usually good to here was now making her stomach churn in disgust.
Having endured enough, Sia stared at the couples expressionlessly and asked "You four, do you think you're the only one here and the rest of us are dead? can't you see there are people in front of you who wants to eat?"
Ignore, Ignore...
Slapping the table, with an ugly face, Sia yelled "Hey, can't you hear me? can you guys stop being so intimate in the public and make us sick? Do you think this is a park or your house for you to show your love? Can you please consider this poor singles heart and stop throwing your dog food so that I can have some human food?"
Ignore, Ignore-
gritting her teeth, Sia slapped the table thrice and yelled "Stop pretending to be deaf...I know you guys heard me"
Rolling her eyes, Su Yan turned to Sia and asked "Yes we did, so?"
"So? Can't you see because of you guys a few of us here aren't able to eat?"
Shaking his head, Si Ming looked at Sia innocently and said "we really can't see anyone like that"
Raising her brows, Sia pointed at the place next to her said "What, are you blind? can't you see that--" while speaking just as Sia turned her head she suddenly stopped speaking and look at the empty space next to her with her eyes wide.
Turning to Mu Jun who was sitting at either side, she pointed at empty space next to her and asked "Where did these people go?"
"Behind you" Mu Jun replied with a neutral face.
Turning her head, she looked behind only to find Xiao Li, Shen Yi, and Yang Jie having their lunch peacefully at the next table.
amused, she turned to Xiao Li and asked: "When did you guys shift to the next table?"
Leaning her face on one hand, while playing with the rice, Xiao Li replied with a neutral face "When you were complaining" She said and raised her face to look at Sia.
Pouting her lips, Sia looked aggrieved "Why didn't you call me along?"
"Oh...my bad. I will call you next time"
"...."
Puffing her cheeks, Sia turned to Mu Jun and complained "Handsome, they are bullying me"
With a faint smile on his face, Mu Jun ruffled her hair and asked "Don't you like chicken? you can have some of mine" he said and passed a potion of chicken from his plate to Sia's.
Looking at the extra potion of chicken with her glittering eyes, Sia raised her thumbs at Mu Jun and exclaimed "Handsome, you are the best"
Not answering, Mu Jun just smiled and watched her eat happily.
Watching the interaction between these two, Su Yan and the other three felt their hairs stand on end.
Looking at each other, Si Ming proposed "Shall we move?'
Nodding their head, the other three followed him to the next table where Xiao Li and the rest were having their food.
Leaning towards Shen Yi, Yang Jie looked at Sia and Mu Jun and asked "Second bro, why do I think that something is fishy between those two?"
"Don't think because there really is something fishy between them"
"oh!" Yang Jie nodded his head in understanding and turned his attention to his food. Feeling quite odd, he thought 'Why do I feel that second brother was ridiculing me?'
on the other table, after finishing her tasty chicken, Sia finally realized that the four couples are missing.
Amused, she turned to Mu Jun and asked "Where did these four go?"
"Behind you..."
Turning her head, she saw all of her friends having their food peacefully and while looking at her in disgust.
Sia "..." 'why do I feel that the roles have changed?'
