"What?" He Peng feel the chills on his body. He Peng feels uncomfortable as he stares at Wang Yibo

"Guys, let's go to the snack bar." Wang Yibo said as he invites his friends Ji Li, Meng Ziyi, and Zou Cheng.

"I'll treat you.." Wang Yibo added showing the brown envelope.

"Really?" Zou Cheng can't believe what Wang Yibo said and did.

"We should go." Ji Li excitedly said as he stands from his chair and chases Wang Yibo.

Wang Yibo pats He Peng's shoulder twice as he said.

"I'll use this well." Wang Yibo said as they head out of the classroom.

"He Peng.." Feng Mingjing said when Wang Yibo and his friends left as he watches He Peng trembles who is
busy with his thought.

Why I can't say anything, just like a fool.

In the snack bar, Wang Yibo and his friends are choosing snacks while talking about what happened earlier.

"Can we choose anything that we want to eat?" Zou Cheng asked excitedly.

"Yeah." Wang Yibo said with a serious face.

Meng Ziyi and Ji Li get busy collecting snacks they want as soon as Wang Yibo answered.

Wang Yibo opened a can of Pocari Sweat and sip it. He stares at Ji Li who is still not getting over the scenario in the classroom.

"You used not to pay attention even if anything happened in class. Why did you do that, you even took the money." Ji Li asked in curiosity.

"I'm just trying to do something bad before I graduate." Wang Yibo managed to answer with his alibis.

"What? Whoah, you're so bad. Xiao Zhan was robbed twice!" Ji Li said, still, he can't believe Wang Yibo did it.

Wang Yibo just look at Ji Li and said.

"You are also an accomplice for eating off that money." Ji Li crashed from shock while Zou Cheng happily said.

"Thanks, Yibo, I'll enjoy the food.."

"Yeah, enjoy the food," Wang Yibo said as he steps forward going back to the classroom.

"Zou Cheng, don't smile that bright. Because we are also accomplices." Ji Li looks at Zou Cheng with an imaginary question mark on his face.

Xiao Zhan arrived at the door of his classroom, he sniffles and wiped his still teary eyes.

I'm sorry Auntie Carmen, I'll pay you back when I make money, I'm sorry.

Xiao Zhan slide the door and Ji Li saw him approaching and sit on his chair.

"He looks miserable. It looks like he cried." Ji Li said showing the guilt on his face.

"I know right." Zou Cheng said with guilt.

"He cried?" Wang Yibo asked because he can't see Xiao Zhan who just sits on his seats.

"Oh no. Wang Yibo feels so bad that he can't even look at Xiao Zhan. Do you think just anyone can do something bad " Ji Li said with pitiful eyes for Xiao Zhan?

"Shut up. You guys should stop looking at him. Are you sightseeing?" Wang Yibo said and asked.

Wang Yibo glances and looks at Xiao Zhan who is not throwing any attention to them.

He Peng who is sitting in front of Xiao Zhan is feeling uncomfortable. Fuck!

Finally, the day in the school is over and Xiao Zhan gets home. As soon as Xiao Zhan enter the code, his phone beep and received a message from Mrs. Wang.

I need to do overtime today, so I bought a cake for you. Eat all of it yourself ^^...I have to go to a meeting soon so you don't have to reply.

Cake! Wang Yibo's family doesn't like sweet food. The cake only enters this house on my birthday.

Looking at the cake reminds me of my first birthday after I came here.

Flashback

"Zhan, what do you want? Just tell me, I'll buy everything for you." Auntie Carmen asked as he leans closer while asking.

"I want to eat bread," I said

"Bread?" Auntie Carmen asked.

Auntie Carmen brought me and Yibo to a bakery shop.

"Just choose anything that you want to eat. Yibo too.." Auntie Carmen said.

I and Yibo walk around the bakery and I saw the strawberry cake with lots of numbers (25,000 won) price.

I look at the cream bread with a four-digit number, 1,000 won price. So I came to an idea.

CREAM BREAD is equal to CREAM CAKE. As long as it has cream, I considered it cake. So I chose the cream bread with 1,000 won price.

"Auntie carmen..." I said.

"Are you done?" She asked.

"This one!" I showed to her the cream bread happily.

"Only that one?"

"Yes.."

"Omg, you're so cute.." Auntie Carmen giggles as she talks to the cashier.

"Please, give us all the cream bread here."

"Yes.." The cashier answered.

End of Flashback

Xiao Zhan saw the cake on the table and as he opens the box, three different shapes with different flavors.

He doesn't remember when it started but his Auntie Carmen would buy him a cake if she could not be on Xiao Zhan's birthday.

Xiao Zhan stares at the cake as he thought.

She bought me a lot this time. Should I ask Yibo to eat with me?

Xiao Zhan arranges the cake on a tray. He is not even sure what he is doing and thinking he is doing something useless to prepare and ask Wang Yibo. He doesn't know if Wang Yibo will like it because Wang Yibo doesn't like sweet foods.

Carrying the tray with cake, Xiao Zhan is having a second thought when he reaches Wang Yibo's door.

What should I do if he thinks I am being so friendly with him after only eating with him once?

Xiao Zhan just wanted to stop and abort his plan. But before it happens, Wang Yibo's door opens already. Xiao Zhan blush and got startled holding the tray as Wang Yibo stand in front of him

"Ah!" Xiao Zhan exclaimed while Wang Yibo is just staring at him intently. He doesn't know what to do.
