In the same room, they sat in two groups. One consisted of Lulu and Ah Fei, first year students. And the other consisted of Zhang Yiran, Zhou Jun, Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai, second year students. In front of them, Ma Yuan was busy writing mathematical formulas for both classes.
"Now please answer the quiz that I gave you. Remember! You can't cheat but you allowed to have discussions, okay?"
Ma Yuan said. Everyone nodded. The atmosphere of the class was quiet. Everyone was busy racking their brains to answer the questions.
Lulu and Zhang Yiran had no problem at all. Solved the problem calmly. Maybe because of the same genes they poses.
Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai struggled a little. Sometimes they scratched their heads, sometimes they tapped their foreheads. Sometimes they played with their pens.
Zhou Jun was the most relaxed. His face was as calm as the water in a mountain well. Sometimes he smiled while glancing at Ma Yuan. Sometimes he licked his lips to attract Ma Yuan's emotions.
Ma Yuan pursed his lips tightly. His face turned red. Sometimes he fanned himself with a notebook. Occasionally adjusting the collar of his shirt that felt suffocating.
"Arghhh!!!! Why do all the questions ask us to find X!!!?"
Ah Fei screamed while pulling his hair with both hands. It looked like he was really struggling.
"I've never had a boyfriend! How can I have an EX!? Who's EX that I have to find!?"
He screamed again while stamping his feet. He completely ignored the people who was watching his every complaint.
"Ah Fei..."
Ma Yuan called him out. Softly.
"I just want X for Y. Use the formula I wrote on the whiteboard to find X."
Ma Yuan said.
"You ask me to find X, now you want me to find Y. I hate math."
Ah Fei grumbled unsatisfying.
Hearing Ah Fei's every grumbling, Ma Yuan let out a sigh. He had never known Ah Fei to be so weak before.
"Second year student..."
All eyes were focused on Ma Yuan.
"Please give your junior a guide."
Ma Yuan said while massaging his forehead. He was starting to feel dizzy from Ah Fei's fuss. Zhou Jun smiled. Seeing Ma Yuan's gentle side really made him fly.
"Okay teacher."
Zhang Yiran replied. He stood up and sat next to Ah Fei. His smile looked satisfied. Maybe that what he was waiting for from the start.
Mu Zhe looked at Lulu. Wondering if Lulu needed him too. Lulu looked calm. Mu Zhe pouted.
Seeing Mu Zhe's duck-like snout, Lulu smiled. Slowly he got up from his seat and moved to Mu Zhe's table. Sitting right in front of Mu Zhe. Mu Zhe quickly averted his gaze. Still sulking.
"Senior Jiang."
Lulu called. Jiang Hai raised his face. Lulu gave a wink. Asking Jiang Hai to help him persuade Mu Zhe. Jiang Hai nodded.
"Is there anything you want me to help?"
Jiang Hai said. Mu Zhe flinched a little. "Why didn't he ask me for help? Do I look unreliable in his eyes?" Mu Zhe snapped angrily.
"No. I want to ask about brother Ru Yi. Did he call you?"
Mu Zhe quickly turned to look at Jiang Hai's face. Also curious. Lulu smiled.
"Ahhhh... Mu Zheeeee...."
Jiang Hai groaned while leaning his head on Mu Zhe.
"My love may not blooming at all. Ru Yi is gone. What should I do....?"
Jiang Hai whined spoiledly. Mu Zhe looked at Lulu. Started thinking, what about his love. Reciprocated or not? How many times had he given the green light. Not one of them had a results.
"Don't worry. If he was your destiny, he'll definitely be with you."
Lulu said while watching Mu Zhe's reaction. Mu Zhe looked away. Suddenly he felt embarrassed. But he also can't hide his smile. May be there was a love between them.
"But...what if he's not my destiny?"
Jiang Hai asked. Lulu smiled.
"Find someone else."
He answered simply. Mu Zhe quickly turned around. Lulu's face was stared at deeply. Angrily. There was a feeling that stabbed his heart. Is loving someone that cheap?
"Don't think like that. What matters is whether you're really serious about him or not?"
Lulu asked, starting to get serious. Ru Yi just like his own brother. Hurting Ru Yi was the same as hurting him. Jiang Hai nodded. So do Mu Zhe.
"I do love him so much."
Jiang Hai said. Mu Zhe nodded. Lulu gaze at Mu Zhe. He looks so interesting in this topic. Lulu smiled.
"But what made him run away from you?"
Mu Zhe asked suddenly. Looking for something to distract his mind from constantly thinking about his unrequited love. Jiang Hai sat up straight.
"Haaaa...."
Then he slammed his head on the table.
"I made a mistake."
He complained. Mu Zhe dan Lulu went silent. What mistakes have Jiang Hai made to make Ru Yi run away.
"What have you done?"
Someone ask. Mu Zhe and Lulu dead silent. Let's Jiang Hai answering all of that person questions.
"I lied to him... I said I liked Ru She."
Jiang Hai said. Still didn't know what really happened. Everyone just dead silent. Watching the drama with curious gaze.
"You like Ru She?"
Jiang Hai shook his head.
"Here..."
Jiang Hai pointed to his head.
"And here..."
Jiang Hai pointed to his chest.
"There's only Ru Yi."
"Since when?"
"Since the first sight."
"What about Ru She?"
"Mu Zhe... why do you ask so many questions today?"
Jiang Hai raised his face. His mouth gaped as soon as his eyes caught Ru Yi's face. He quickly stood up straight.
"What are you doing here?"
He asked in panic as his fingers pinched Mu Zhe's arm. "Why didn't you tell me...?"
Ru Yi pretended not to hear that. His eyes were sharp as he walked towards the middle of the room. Totally ignoring Jiang Hai question.
"Good evening, everyone."
His voice was firm. Far different from the Ru Yi they knew.
"Good evening."
They replied.
"Starting tomorrow. I'll teach all of you martial arts. Since you won't keep hiding here. At least you know how to protect yourselves."
Ru Yi glared at Ma Yuan. As if to say "Especially you." Ma Yuan swallowed his saliva.
"At least, for next semester, you can go back to school."
He continued.
"Are there any questions?"
He asked. Everyone was shocked. But didn't dare to speak up. Ru Yi looked at the faces in front of him one by one.
Mu Zhe had already pouted while leaning back in his chair. Dissatisfaction was clearly visible on his face.
Lulu and Zhang Yiran seemed ready to go through their hellish days. Ah Fei was just neutral. Don't know if he was ready or just clueless about what he was going to go through.
Jiang Hai, Ru Yi tried not to make eye contact with that man. At least not for now.
"Oh, this is your geography teacher, Bai Li Feng."
Hearing that name, Jiang Hai smiled broadly. His eyes were wide and staring at Bai Li Feng's face.
"Don't look at me..."
Bai Li Feng gestured. So cautiously. Afraid of being found out by Ru Yi.
"You have to pay your debt."
Jiang Hai replied. Bai Li Feng nodded while giving a 'wait' gesture to Jiang Hai.
"What wrong?"
Ru Yi asked Bai Li Feng. It felt like there was a secret between that man and Jiang Hai. Bai Li Feng quickly shook his head.
"Make sure it's really nothing."
Ru Yi whispered while punching Bai Li Feng roughly in the chest.
