For the past two weeks, the members of the Student Council were very busy. They were all dealing with the upcoming student-exchange event between three different universities; The K City University, D City University, and the A City University. This year, they want the event to be broadcasted on the local stations for a promotional advertisement under the three universities.
He Míng finished the needed documents for the K City University before looking at the rest of the student council. They were all buried in stacks of different club reports existing in the university.
"Why do we have to list down these kinds of clubs in the university? It's not like it's active or gone into international competitions, these administration boards are all lazy people who want more money!"- Pio grumbled to himself while he threw the portfolios down the trash bin.
"Please mind your manners, Pio. Also, pick those up because we need to give it back to the Headmaster later."- Leo told Pio before going back to his share of work.
"President Ling, I already asked my Dad to give one timeslot for our promotional advertisement and the Event broadcast. What shall we do for the lather?"- Marie asked Ling Wǔshì as she approached his table.
"Give me a list of the most popular TV broadcast and activities as well, we will sum up our own script. Trouble you to contact our broadcasting club as well to help you sort it out."- Marie nodded left the office to carry his tasks. Ling Wǔshì and Pio locked eyes with each other, where Pio begrudgingly looks away with a silent curse. Why can't he still look at that homo straight to the eye?! It's not like he's scared or something about that guy.
"Pio, go collect those folders and ask the leaders of each club about their budgets."- Ling Wǔshì ordered him that made the guy grit his teeth in annoyance.
"Then do it yourself! Aren't you done with your tasks? why are you asking me for a favor?"- Pio created his own delusions and He Míng is happy to break them for him.
"I am the President of the Student Council, I have my own set of tasks compared to yours. Also, it's an order, not a favor. If you're so great that you keep twisting my words, then quit the position. Someone who keeps opposing me doesn't need to breathe the same air as me in the same space."- Ling Wǔshì said with a taunting look that made Pio blush in shame and hatred. He took all the files from the trashbin before he left the office, shutting the door forcefully with a loud bang!
Leo and Takeru look at Ling Wǔshì's way with a blank look. He met their stares with a shrug.
"His excessive pride will be his doom, I'm just giving a helping hand trim his bad roots."- Ling Wǔshì said, Leo only shook his head before going back to his task, while Takeru stood up and went to his table to pass the temporary timetable that he asks him to do for the broadcast. He watched as the guy reviewed his work and keep popping suggestions here and there.
"I'll ask you to do another time table after the first meeting between the student council of each university. You can go now."- Ling Wǔshì said and gave him the report. Takeru nodded and pack up. Leo went next to Ling Wǔshì's desk and the two were immersed in their own conversation to look at Takeru's way.
"By the way, President Ling, if it is not rude to ask... will you stay close with Miss Brookes while on the broadcast?"- Leo asked and was met with the freezing stare of the guy.
"We will be promoting our own universities, Leo, not our personal matters. Do I make myself clear?"- Ling Wǔshì asked with a glare. Leo nodded his head and turn back to his table. While He Míng was taking a short break, he saw a message from his Line account- It was from Takeru.
[Takeru VP: Your offer, is it still open?]
He Míng asked the Fox about Takeru's location and found out that he was still outside the university. The system also added that Takeru was bullied and robbed. He's now in dire need of money.
He looked back at his screen before typing in a reply.
[Ling Ling: Wait at the classroom, I'll be done in a few minutes.]
After that, Ling Wǔshì finished the report and presentation he needs to give tomorrow with the other two universities' student council. Leo and Ling Wǔshì left the office after an hour.
"President Ling, I'll take my leave then. See you tomorrow."- Leo bid farewell and Ling Wǔshì see him off. He opened his phone and directly called Takeru to go down the parking lot.
While waiting, He Míng's phone rang and he picked it up to answer. It was Lalaine.
"Wǔshì Ge, I'll see you tomorrow after the meeting. You're free right?"-He heard her overly coquettish voice over the line that made him frown and gag out his lunch. He can also hear a few low squeals that were coming beside Lalaine, must be some of her friends at the university.
"I'm busy after the meeting. You know that."- He Míng said before leaning at his black Bugatti La Voiture Noire car, His free hand on his pocket while he looks around the almost empty parking lot of the university.
"Oh come on! Didn't I told you that I want a date tomorrow! I texted it to you! Don't tell me you want to cancel it because of the Universities' program,"- She whined which made He Míng's frown deepen.
"I don't have time for tomorrow. Besides, don't you also have a shooting after the meeting? Stop talking nonsense and check your schedule with your secretary-"
"Aiya~ Wǔshì Gege so cool! You even memorized my schedule? You really love me~"- He Míng can't help but shudder and put his phone away from hearing Lalaine's voice.
"Yeah sure. I'll see you tomorrow."- He immediately ended the phone call after hearing that sticky sweet " I Love You' from the girl. He opened his car and dumped his bag and phone on the backseat, just in time when Takeru walked in his direction. He Míng looked at him from head to toe before speaking.
"How did you become a beggar?"- he asked with a hint of sarcasm on his tone. Takeru's face is covered with a large bandage on his cheek, a blue band-aid on the corner of his right eye, his knuckles were covered with thick bandages with a hint of blood coming through the layers. Takeru just punched his shoulder in a playful way but still with force. Ling Wǔshì only frowned a bit before looking at the guy who sat in the passenger seat without talking.
He Míng just shrugged before going to the driver's seat and drove to the mall near his penthouse. Takeru looked at him with a confused look while he parked at the underground parking.
"Buying food, and drinks as well."- He Míng reached the backseat to grab his phone and wallet before going out of the car. Takeru begrudgingly did the same and tailed He Míng like a guard dog.
Everyone was busy admiring He Míng while he throws different food inside his kart without care about everyone's stare. Children, Young, and adults, he caught everyone's attention effortlessly as he bought, pork, beef, and poultry meat. He also added the most pricey red wine, chips and soda, and other food that he saw from the aisle. Takeru cannot sit still while looking at his piling grocery and told him to stop.
"Oh right, Takeru grab another kart, I'll let you off with a week's worth of grocery. Go and hurry!"- Takeru looked at him with an incredulous look. Finding that Ling Wǔshì was serious, he made a mad dash around the supermarket like his life is on the line. He Míng almost laughed out loud seeing him as a madman shopping. While they were on the line, He Míng asked him if he can cook.
"I can, why?"- Seeing the clueless look on the person, it's like two different people compared to the madman earlier. He patted Takeru's back before moving forward to the cashier.
"I'll hire you as a chef tonight."- He said and watched as the lady cashier give him sparkling eyes while she works efficiently. He and Takeru pushed their karts to the underground parking lot and stuffed their groceries in the backseat before they went to his penthouse.
When they went to the parking lot, two butlers were waiting for them. He Míng threw his keys to the other butler while dropping his instructions.
"Drive those groceries he's holding to his address, also grab some clothes for him to use tomorrow. Takeru, do it fast! I'm hungry."- Ling Wǔshì told him before going to the elevator. Takeru hurriedly gave the butler his address and keys before boarding the elevator going up.
Takeru was assisted by the butler to hurry and cook their meal. The butler is middle-aged but he is very strict and bossy around Takeru.
"Use plastic gloves before holding the food!"
"Your knife cutting is no good! No good at all!"
"Try again! New one! Master will be eating your food! Be grateful! You hear me?"
Takeru can't help but roll his eyes and look up, only to find Ling Wǔshì fresh from his bath and was eating chips while watching them in the kitchen. Takeru frowned at him before pointing at the butler.
"Take this old man away. Before I feed you chilis instead."- Takeru didn't mind if he makes lame jokes or something similar, as long Ling Wǔshì understood, then it's fine.
"Butler, go and do my dirty clothes, let him have the kitchen to himself."- Ling Wǔshì said, and the butler went to his room.
"Will that take long? I'm hungry, Takeru."- Ling Wǔshì went close to him and peeked at the stove, wondering what kind of food he was cooking.
"Shut up and entertain yourself somewhere else! Food won't be cooked for another hour."
"What? I'm hungry already!"
