You are like the warm sun

Chapter 27 Let’s have lunch together
Shao Zhouci took a day off and came back to find several layers of gauze wrapped around his left wrist, with horrifying bloodstains seeping out of the gauze.

As his deskmate, Li Zibin naturally noticed this and mentioned it to the students around him while doing exercises.

Everyone was guessing that it was the injury left by his failed suicide attempt, otherwise how could the wrist be injured?

Besides, he's usually very gloomy, and looks like someone who could do something like this...

Several classmates reminded Li Zibin to try not to provoke him.

After sitting at the same table for two months, Li Zibin discovered that Shao Zhouci was indeed very unique.

He never participated in group activities, never memorized, and rarely listened to lectures, but he would hand in his homework, even though it was all wrong.

He would bring an extracurricular book to school every day and could read it quietly all day, or sleep with the book as a pillow all day. It was as if he had paid to come to school just to have fun.

Li Zibin once took advantage of his absence to curiously look through the books he brought with him and found that they were all suspense, detective, or horror novels. He even highlighted the murderer's modus operandi in each case with a red pen.

Well, it feels a little creepy.

So even without other classmates reminding him, he didn't want to provoke his deskmate.

The fourth class this morning was a self-study class. The physics teacher gave them a test paper and then left for something.

As soon as the bell rang, Tang Wan decisively put down her pen and stood up.

She came to Shao Zhouci and spoke to him softly, "Let's go. If we go too late there won't be any seats."

Most of the students were still seated, and were surprised to see her taking the initiative to talk to the class weirdo. What surprised them even more was that the boy put away his book, stood up, and followed her without saying a word!

Why does it look like it's actually quite well behaved?

You know, Shao Zhouci is the most difficult person in the class. He is extremely cold and aloof, and seems to be isolating the entire class.

Li Zibin looked at the two of them in surprise and suspicion.

……

The spicy hot pot restaurant that Tang Wan wanted to take Shao Zhou to quit was right at the school gate. Every noon after school, many students would go there to eat. If you went too late, there would be no seats left.

Fortunately, they didn't go too late. After entering the store, Tang Wan took a quick look and then took Shao Zhouci to sit in a window seat.

She sweated a little as she walked along.

She took off her school uniform jacket and hung it on the back of the chair. She was wearing a V-neck white long-sleeved shirt underneath. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair and slender wrists.

"What do you want to eat? I'll get it."

Shao Zhouci glanced at the food-picking area blocked by several customers and frowned.

He had never eaten Malatang before and didn't know what dishes were included, so he said, "Whatever."

Tang Wan smiled and nodded, "Okay."

She went to get the tongs and basket, picked up all the meats, and mixed in some noodles and vegetables. Because it was a portion for two, she accidentally took a little too much.

One weighing, 40 yuan.

The boss asked her, "How spicy do you want it?"

Tang Wan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the boy, wondering if he could handle spicy food.

After thinking for two seconds, she ordered clear soup.

After paying, she took her number and went to the disinfection cabinet to get two sets of tableware. When she returned to her seat, she looked at the person opposite her and asked, "Shao Zhouci, can you handle spicy food?"

"No."

"Oh."

It seems she got the point.

She held her chin with one hand and blinked slightly. "There are green onions, cilantro, peanut butter and other condiments on the small table. Do you want any?"

He lowered his eyes and refused calmly: "No."
