"Ohh, Kai, you are here too! With Cecil!" Hana chirped, strolling into the canteen with Xue.

"Hana."

"Hi Hana!"

Cecil and Kai were seated around a table, it was free time for the students. Their table was unusually separated from the other students, after all, no one wanted to intrude on their couple time.

Cecil wouldn't know about the rumours about them being lovers, since she was locked up almost all the time, focusing on training.

"Let's join them, Xue!"

"Whatever you wish."

The four of them sat at the table, and the students couldn't help gossiping.

"Kai, isn't that the food that's always sold out?" Hana looked curiously at Kai's tray.

It was a cupcake, however, it was blue in colour and Cecil knew long ago that it wasn't a food colouring...also how nasty it tasted.

"You could say so."

"I never tried it before, let me try!" Hana reached forward and grabbed a portion for herself.

"Hana, wait--"

The three of them tried to stop Hana, but she was too quick, putting the cupcake in her mouth using the fork. Immediately, her bright expression twisted.

The reason why this unique cupcake was always sold out...it was because the demand was small.

"Wahter, wabter, wahhter!"

Cecil pressed her palm against her forehead, and Kai panicked, shoving Hana's cup to her face. Hana gulped down the water, spitting her tongue out as she made many different noises.

"So horrible! That's horrible, Kai! Horrible!"

"We tried to stop you..." Kai scratched his head and Hana took Xue's cup, drinking down his water.

"I can't get rid of the taste!"

Xue instantly reached for Cecil's cup, wanting to place it on Hana's tray. However, Kai stopped him, their hands on Cecil's cup.

"Hands off Cecil's cup."

"You take your hands off."

Cecil raised her eyebrows.

The two men narrowed their eyes at each other, initiating a staring contest. Cecil was speechless, her hand going to her cup as she forced a smile.

"I don't mind if Hana takes my cup to drink."

Why are the two protagonists fighting over a cup of water that I don't care about...

Hana swallowed her saliva, cringing at the taste in her mouth again. "Since Cecil said so, let me drink!"

They were still pulling at the cup, and Kai released quickly. Xue, just a nanosecond slower, pulled the cup towards him by accident.

Before anyone knew it, the sudden force caused the water to splash out from the cup and attack his face and shirt.

"..."

"..."

"...I...I didn't do anything!" Kai blurted out, raising his hands up in surrender.

Cecil sucked in her lips, turning her head away and her shoulder started to shake with mirth.

Hana giggled, taking out her handkerchief to wipe Xue's face.
