"No."
Yin Yu received a jolt when he heard her answer. He got slightly down because of it, even so, he can't fault her for not forgiving him even after all his apology as he's the one on fault here. There's no excuse for what he had done. That's why not being forgiven is n matter not that surprising to him.
Still, not being able to act truthfully is truly hard. Is it because of his limited human interaction in the past? Thinking about it...he only remember that the most he does is chatting with a computer and only go out when it's necessary.
Yin Yu think about it for awhile and decide to find a book of How to interact with people, how to befriend others, how to become cooler, how to beg for forgiveness, or other books like that in the library tomorrow. He didn't know whether these books are available or not, even so, he decides to search for it as he has nothing to lose.
"Why are you kneeling? Get up, let's go back to eat." Lan Yiyan said that words softly and walk towards her chair.
Yin Yu subconsciously raise his head after he heard her words revealing a patch of blood on his forehead and the floor while he looks at Lan Yiyan with puzzled looks.
He wonders why didn't she got angrier or why she didn't vent her anger on him. Even so, seeing that she has ignored him and focus on her foods, Yin Yu also follow suit and return to his chair to eat his meal quietly.
'Eh…I can control my body again?'
Only after stuffing some foods on his mouth did he realize that he can move normally again. He didn't know what really happened earlier, but he didn't want to think of it right now. Whatever it is, what happened should happen, no matter how embarrassing it is, it's the right choice, while what he did before is the wrong choice.
Yin Yu and Lan Yiyan continue eating after what happened earlier. Even so, while Lan Yiyan calmly eating her meal; Yin Yu can't calmly eat his meal at all!
Yin Yu occasionally took a peek at Lan Yiyan while eating. It's like there's nothing happened earlier as if it's all just an illusion. But how can he calmed down and thought everything that happens earlier didn't happen!?
Only the sounds of food chewed, and chopstick clashed with their plates exist in this dining room. Both Yin Yu and Lan Yiyan didn't utter any words while eating their meal, creating a tense atmosphere around the dining room for Yin Yu.
Although Yin Yu knows that not talking is proper etiquette while eating, he can't help but feel some pressure coming from the silent. Not knowing what else to do, Yin Yu pours a tea for himself and drinks it up.
"It's delicious." Yin Yu unconsciously muttered after drinking the tea. The differences in taste between the food and drink are so different that they can be divided as Heaven and Hell!
"Of course it is…although the food is bad, at least the drink is acceptable right?" Lan Yiyan replied with an expressionless tone and continued to eat.
'I'm sorry for calling your foods bad!'
Yin Yu apologizes in his minds when he heard her words. Seeing that Lan Yiyan has gone quiet again make Yin Yu feel more pressure than before! Although he's glad that she has finally started talking again, waiting for her to talk once again would be hard...then... he will take a step back and become the one who starts the conversation..!
With that in mind, Yin Yu starts to open his mouth and ask her something to kill this totally awkward atmosphere!
"So…how is school today?"
'Ok…this is common question…it would be good to get the conversation going!'
Yin Yu think that he has asked a good question...his friends have once asked him this question. Although he has forgotten his answer, Yin Yu believe this question as the most appropriate question now.
"So-so I guess…" Lan Yiyan replied half-heartedly.
"So-so…eh...? It's good then. At least all of you didn't get attacked with illusion formations as soon as you entered the class."
"Yeah, that didn't happen… all that happened is how we got brutally attacked by our homeroom teacher at the stomach as soon as we entered the class after all."
"…"
'What's wrong with this school! Hitting children who came to class at the stomach!? Isn't there any child protection team in this world!? How can I continue the conversation like this!?'
Yin Yu turn quiet in an instant after hearing her answer. Lan Yiyan also continues to eat her meal, even so, he can't stop now! How can he stop now!
"Now that I think about it…do you make a friend already?"
Yin Yu ask another common question that will help him make the conversation last longer, according to his memory. If she answers she has, Yin Yu can ask her to introduce her friends to him and improve their relationship again. If she answers no, Yin Yu can say they're already friend, and he will even introduce Nie Yao to her and make them get along! This is a good chance to clear the slate clean!
Yet, Lan Yiyan faces immediately darkened soon after she heard his question. She even stops eating her foods and drinks a cup of tea. Yin Yu who saw that deduces that she didn't have friends and about to continue his plans to gain her goodwill again, yet before he can say anything to console her, Lan Yiyan replied.
"Friends? It's more like I get a group of followers rather than a friend."
"…"
'Eh...what? Did I hear wrongly...?'
"They just keep coming and wanted to talk to me like an annoying pest. It's good that Li'er prevented them from approaching me, even so, she's also annoying and always follow me every time I go…but without her, there would likely be other 20 people following me, that's why I let her follow me...but it's still annoying after all."
"…"
'Li'er? is it the same Lin Li'er you beat last times!? Why did she follow you! Is it the same plot in many stories where girls love those who are stronger than them? And how many days is it since the school start...? How can you have 20 something followers already!? I haven't even officially gained a sidekick yet but there you gain 20 followers in one day!'
Lan Yiyan stops eating at that points and keeps talking about it. It seems that she has wanted to talk about it with Yin Yu before but can't say it because of his behavior. Because she has nowhere to vent, her emotions overflow a bit before. Even so, she has finally found a chance to vent all of her stress by talking about what happened earlier, which makes Yin Yu become depressed as he heard her explanations..
"…"
'How can she become more popular than me? Is it because of short hair? Is it because of that hair!? Would I also gain a lot of attention with that kind of hair!? No Yin Yu…you're a king! A unique existence…copying someone is bad…it's better to have a unique and beautiful hairstyle that will make you memorable, not copying other people hairstyle!'
Yin Yu become speechless as times goes and even think that she becomes popular because of her short hair. When one thinks of it, she didn't get a lot of attention before, but once she cut her hair short, her popularity raises amongst her classmates!
Lan Yiyan keeps complaining about her life today, uncaring of what Yin Yu think as if she's drunk. Yin Yu can only sit back and listen to her, afraid of making her angrier than this. He can only adopt his father technique of calmly accepting everything his mother says as if it's the truth of the world.
"…and what with you! I'm waiting for you for a long time here! Yet you only come home after it's night! Where are you these whole times?" Lan Yiyan keeps complaining and finally reaches the point about Yin Yu. Although she keeps some part hidden, Yin Yu can more or less guess everything that happened to her after hearing her side of stories.
Basically, she cut her hair in the morning, smugly showing off that she's more handsome as a man to tease him. Then she got into a different class with him and punched in the stomach like her other classmates in the name of learning. Unexpectedly gain popularity that he didn't receive, gain followers while she's at it, running away from school as soon as it's time to go home, practicing cooking and fail multiple times, waiting for him, and finally now.
After thinking for a while, Yin Yu decide to answer honestly while hiding some fact that only he should know.
"I'm at the library." Yin Yu replied and continue.
"Well, I go to your class after school is done to invite you to explore the school together, but I didn't find you anywhere near the school, so I decide to explore the school alone and ended up reading some books in the library…before I realize it, it's already late at night…once again…sorry." Yin Yu said and bow his head to Lan Yiyan to apologize.
Lan Yiyan who heard his answer comes to his side and extend her hands to him before she says.
"Give me your badge…"
