"I'll get a Cheesy Chicken bento."

"Wow, that's a fat meal."

"... hey, don't be calling me out on being fat."

"I'm not, your food will be ready in 15 minutes."

"Okay, how much is it?"

"It's on the house."

"No, you don't have to do that."

"But I want to."

"Um okay, thanks, Lan Xi Chen."

    Lan Xi Chen gave a genuine smile, no wonder every girl in their school liked him. Jiang Cheng walked back to the table, Wei Wu Xian was already gobbling up the food. He looks as if he hadn't eaten in years. Wei Wu Xian looks up with chicken sticking out of his mouth

    "What did you end up ordering?"

    "I ordered a Cheesy Chicken Bento, it's currently being made; also don't talk with your mouth full. Did you know that Lan Xi Chen works at the bento booth?"

"Ooo, did something happen?" said after swallowing his food.

    "He said that my food is on the house."

    "Cool, free food."

    "Of course, what was I expecting him to say? Stupid Wei Wu Xian only cares for his singing career, food and wine." thought Jiang Cheng

    "So did you and Lan Huan says anything."

    "Lan Huan, who is that?"

    "Your boyfriend duh, don't tell me you didn't know his first name?"

    "How the heck would I know, he didn't tell me; also he's not my boyfriend."

    "What am I going to do with you Jiang Cheng?" Wei Wu Xian said while shaking his head.

    "Order number 520 Cheesy Chicken Bento, your order is ready." (520 in Chinese means I love you)

    "Go get 'em, tiger." Wei Wu Xian said teasingly

    "Shut up."

    Jiang Cheng walked back to the booth, his food was at the counter. When he got to the counter, Lan Xi Chen turned around.

    "Here's your order Jiang Cheng."

    "Thanks, Lan Xi Chen, for the food and for paying for the food."

    "Your welcome." Lan Xi Chen says with a gentle smile.

    "Omg, that smile is killing me, how can someone have such a killer smile?" thought Jiang Cheng

Jiang Cheng nods his head and walks back to the table. Wei Wu Xian had already finished his food, Jiang Cheng doesn't understand where all that food goes. Wei Wu Xian is skinny as hell, not bad skinny but skinny.

    "You're finally back, enjoy talking to your man."

    "Shut up!"

    Wei Wu Xian couldn't stop laughing, it is always fun to tease Jiang Cheng.

    "Hey Jiang Cheng, can I get a napkin?"

    "Fine."

    Jiang Cheng gives Wei Wu Xian a napkin, Wei Wu Xian takes it. He notices that there was something written on the napkin. It was a phone number and a name.

    "Aww, Jiang Cheng I think your boyfriend wants to get your number."

    "What?"

    Wei Wu Xian shows the napkin to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng's eyes go wide. On the napkin was Lan Xi Chen's name and what he was guessing was his phone number.

    "Damn, you move fast."

    "What, I didn't ask for his number."

    "Doesn't matter, all that matters is that there is something between the two of you. Whether you want to admit it or not."

    Jiang Cheng lays his head on the table, he didn't know what to do. He always thought of Xi Chen as his friend.

    "Look at the time, I have to get back to the dorms before they close."

    "Yeah, I need to get home too; don't want my sister worrying."

Wei Wu Xian left the food court, heading back to school. Leaving Jiang Cheng at the table eating and thinking about what to do the next time he sees Lan Xi Chen.

    "Jiang Cheng?"

    Jiang Cheng turns around, there stood the man who was now all the later can think about.

    "L-lan Xi Chen, what are you doing here?"

    "I just got off my shift."

    "Oh, right."

    "I see you got my number."

    "Yes, why did you give me your phone number?"

"So I can talk to you more, is that a problem?"

    "We talk at school."

    "I want to talk to you even when we are not being a student or teacher."

    "Why?"

    "Cause I want to get to know you better, is that wrong?"

    "You are a teacher, and I'm a student. No matter how close we are, I don't think we should be contacting each other outside school."

    "I see, well I guess I shouldn't be talking to you right now then since we're in public and all. Have a good night Jiang WanYin."

    Lan Xi Chen walked away with a pained expression, what has Jiang Cheng done. Lan Xi Chen never calls him by his courtesy name, now Jiang Cheng felt guilty.

    "What am I going to do now?"

Jiang Cheng finishes his food and leaves to go home too. Back at the dorm, Wei Wu Xian getting ready to go to sleep. His phone began to ring, it was Jiang Cheng.
