Wei Jingyu cursed under his breath as he angrily stuffed all his things into his bag and walked out of the class.
Ying Xuan reached the cafeteria and looked around. But she could find no sign of either Weiwei or Zuan. Suddenly, someone tapped on her shoulder from behind. Ying Xuan turned and was pleasantly surprised to see Lu Zuan and Shi Weiwei.
She mouthed, "What took you do long?"
Lu Zuan: "Don't even ask. This little girl, she actually fell asleep!! And the teacher caught her and asked her to stay after class."
Ying Xuan was dumbfounded as she looked at Shi Weiwei, who was standing behind Lu Zuan with her head down.
Ying Xuan made her look before giving her a thumbs-up. Xuan signed, "I'm friends with a bad girl. Nice!"
Lu Zuan laughed as the three bought their lunch and sat down at a table.
Ying Xuan typed on her phone and put it in the middle, so that both Weiwei and Zuan could read. "Actually, you guys won't mind if one more person joins us for lunch? Will you?"
Shi Weiwei was still depressed as she waved her hand. But Lu Zuan said, "One more person? Xuan, you invited someone to have lunch with us?"
Ying Xuan hurriedly shook her head and mouthed, "I did not. A boy in my painting class said that he wanted to have lunch with me. So I asked him if he would join my friends."
Lu Zuan: "That is inviting!!!!!"
Ying Xuan hung her head looking like a dejected puppy. Lu Zuan sighed as she said, "Don't you start too. It's bad enough having one of us drowning in sorrow."
Ying Xuan looked up and saw Shi Weiwei really looked like she was drowning in sorrow. She had her head down and was playing with her chopsticks. Ying Xuan looked at her foody friend not eating as Lu Zuan said, "Don't worry about it too much Weiwei. Detention is not that big of a deal."
Ying Xuan had thought of something but her mind was distracted by the boy from the painting class slipping in a seat beside her.
The boy smiled and said, "Hi." He then turned towards Weiwei and Zuan and said, "I'm He Zingche."
Lu Zuan said, "I'm Lu Zuan. And she is Shi Weiwei." She pointed to Weiwei, who did not even bother to look up.
He Zingche said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zuan waved her hand, "Nothing."
The boy seemed to want to speak more when Ying Xuan suddenly stood up. Zuan and the boy looked at her. Xuan mouthed, "I'm going to bring some more food." Lu Zuan spoke this out as He Zingche also stood up, "I have to buy my lunch as well. I'll come with you."
Ying Xuan smiled and walked towards the counter.
Lu Zuan did not know how to cheer Shi Weiwei up, so she began to eat her lunch. But her spirits were dampened by Weiwei and she soon pushed away her tray after taking a few bites.
Ying Xuan returned with the boy soon after.
Lu Zuan was surprised to see a slice of pineapple cake in her hand. Ying Xuan put her finger to her lips as she signed for Lu Zuan to keep quiet. Ying Xuan sat down at the table and pulled Shi Weiwei's tray away from her.
