"Uhm...Si Cheng?" (Y/n) nudged her seat mate, earning his attention. "You've been in the wrong page the entire time." (Y/n) chuckled nervously pointing out to his mistake. "Oh. I was spacing out I didn't notice." Si Cheng chuckled nervously. "Which page are we at now?" 

"Page 23." (Y/n) replied as Si Cheng nodded. But, strangely enough, Si Cheng was hesitant on opening the page and continued flipping the pages over and over again. "Uh, need help?"

"No ! I'm perfectly fine. I'm just going to sleep." 

"Si Cheng...this is class. Not your home."

"I didn't sleep a wink last night. I'll just sleep for a little bit."

"Si Cheng wake up, class is over and you need to tour around school remember?" (Y/n) shook his seat mate, causing him to groan and yawn as he sat up straight. "Alright." Si Cheng nodded before standing up from his own seat.

"Hey Jie ! Whoa—where are you going? I thought you were going to study?" Guanheng asked after making quite an entrance to (Y/n)'s classroom. "I have to take a new student around for a tour. This is Si Cheng." (Y/n) introduced as Si Cheng bowed. 

"Oh gosh, don't bow. I'm a first year, see." Guanheng pointed to his name tag as Si Cheng nodded silently. "My name is Guanheng. I'm (Y/n)'s favorite child." Guanheng joked, earning a hit on the back from (Y/n).

"Well, we'll be back. Don't wait for me, it'll take quite a while." (Y/n) said to Guanheng as the younger nodded and went out of the class, waving happily. "Alright, follow me." (Y/n) said walking in front of Si Cheng who started following her from behind.

It's weird.

Too weird.

Throughout the whole tour, Si Cheng kept on bumping into things that were obviously right in front of him that even (Y/n) had to walk beside him to make sure that he's not bumping onto things. 

'Is he really that clumsy? But that can't be...He did say that he didn't sleep a wink last night. Was that it?' (Y/n) kept on thinking. Though Si Cheng remained calm on the outside, (Y/n) kept on being worried on his well-being, hoping that this supposedly 'clumsy' guy beside him doesn't fall or bump into something else.

"Well, that's all you need to know for now. If there's anything you need help with, Don't hesitate to tell me." (Y/n) smiled. "Your name is...(Y/n)?"

"Yes, I'm Qian (Y/n)." (Y/n) nodded. "Well, I'm going to lunch now. Do you maybe want to join us?"

"Us?"

"Yes, me and Guanheng. That kid...I'm sure even after I told him not to wait, he'll wait for me anyways at the lunch table." (Y/n) chuckled at the thought of her junior. "Well, if you guys don't mind me joining lunch..." Si Cheng hesitantly said, fidgeting his fingers.

"Of course we don't. Let's go."

"I knew it. You kept on waiting." (Y/n) sighed before chuckling, looking at Guanheng who was chewing on a piece of fried chicken happily. "Oh ! You're finally here. Today's menu is fried chicken so I charmed the canteen lady to give me extras and boom! Here I am with 5 pieces of fried chicken—which I've already eaten 2 of them." Guanheng said.

"Come sit, Si Cheng. You can have the fried chicken as well." (Y/n) patted down the beat beside her after sitting on her own seat. "Thank you." Si Cheng said, sitting down and finally grabbbing the piece of chicken from the food tray.

"Uh...*Ge. That's the chicken bone that I ate just now." Guanheng nervously laughed as Si Cheng quickly put down the piece of boney chicken and finally grab the right one.

"You must be very tired from last night, Si Cheng. You've been very clumsy today." (Y/n) chuckled. "Yeah." Si Cheng agreed. The atmosphere became silent as the three of them ate quietly. After a few minutes, Guanheng finally broke the silent from putting down the last chicken that he had eaten.

"I'm going to basketball practice now. Bye you two !" Guanheng stood up from his seat and went running to his friends. 

"Si Cheng, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes?"

"You're...not really tired, are you?"
