Instead of showing up for school once his suspension was lifted, Zhan Tian found himself in an arcade at the claw machine racking his brain and trying his hardest not to get angry and make a scene in public. For it was his 8th try and he had yet to win anything not even a big fluffy blue bunny. That he's been trying so hard to get for the past 20 minutes and still wasn't making any progress. 'This thing?.. How hard could it be?' Was his exact thoughts not too long ago before he began to play. But thinking back on it now, if he knew what he knew at this very moment he would of either punched or told Long Wei "To go fuck yourself!" Who were we kidding? Zhan Tian would of did both.
Speaking of which. Long Wei was the source to his main problem. It was Long Wei's idea to play the stupid claw game. His idea to come to the arcade during school hours from the start. It was his idea to skip school in the first place. Well....
Technically it wasn't per say.
Zhan Tian planned on skipping school from the get go and it so coincidentally happened that Long Wei too planned on not going to school and he too knew for some weird reason that Zhan Tian also wouldn't go this day. And to top it all off it started from a simple phone call from an unknown number, a number that belonged to Long Wei. Long Wei who shouldn't even have his phone number too begin with. How he got it, Zhan Tian didn't have a clue. Just that Long Wei and he quotes said "I have my ways."
Zhan Tian soon realised not only was Long Wei a devil in sheep's clothing and perverted. But he was also a fucking stalker!!
At least in his eyes.
But to Long Wei it was far from the truth. He got Zhan Tian's number two days ago in school from the school's president who was friends and knew everyone in each class. And knowing that Zhan Tian would skip school today was a no brainer. Didn't take a rocket science to figure any of that out. It was easy.
There were rumors about Zhan Tian that everyone in school knew about, he was infamous for him being one of the school bully's. Everyone knew his attendance was shitty as hell and besides that, both shenwoo and Bohai went to school today. The same people that too was suspended. And Long Wei being his observant self knew all three personalities and knew for a fact if the three ran into each other there wouldn't be a nice greeting. And it wouldn't be on his friends part but from Zhan Tian due to his pride. And with Zhan Tian reputation another suspension isn't what the other needed right now and neither was skipping school.
Yet to Long Wei who knew all too well about the others stubbornness as he continued to whiteness it first hand time and time again. It was either attendance or suspension. Long Wei chose the latter. 'One step at a time' he thought. He long sense realized that Zhan Tian was like a cat. Who was constantly on the defense and suspicious of everything only trusting themselves. Too much kindness and attention would scare the little kitten away. Along with trying to force or rush it to do what it didn't want would cause retaliation. Which would get you no where.
Slow but steady wins the race.
So Long Wei had to make due with what he had. Hence not stopping or reprimanding Zhan Tian for skipping school, for now anyway. Slowly but surely before you know it Long Wei would become apart of Zhan Tian daily life with out the other knowing how it came to play. Zhan Tian would soon acknowledge that Long Wei being near him would be second nature and unknowingly accept him into his life as an acquaintance or friend.
To say that Long Wei was thinking far ahead was an understatement.
He was after all Long Wei. One of a kind.
