Chapter 29
Xiao Zhan immediately stood up from his seat and made his way to the council door. He opens it and sees a petite looking girl with round beautiful eyes and her dark oak colored hair was tied in a ponytail. She jolted in surprise when the door opened without warning.
"A-Ay, president- I mean Zhan-ge, is Wang-ge there?" She asked shyly and looks up at him. Xiao Zhan never thought a girl would literally come looking for Yibo directly. Since almost everyone knew the vice president was somewhat hard to approach. Also, he's never seen this girl before. "Good afternoon and yes. Please come inside," he smiled and opens the door wider to let her in.
The petite girl smiled at him slightly, it was obvious that she was nervous. She entered the council room and to Xiao Zhan's surprise, she was holding a sandwich on her left hand. Oh?
The former president couldn't help but smile. "Changying?"
"Ah, hello, Yibo. I finished fixing the group files. I was looking for you in your next class but you weren't there," she explained with a smile. Xiao Zhan was once again surprised when this petite girl now named Changying switched from calling the vice president to "Wang-ge" to directly calling him "Yibo".
"You could've waited for me there. But thank you for your hardwork," he said softly and received the folder Changying was giving him. As if Xiao Zhan wasn't present, he literally felt like a ghost between the two! Aiya, they look good together.
Xiao Zhan smiled at the scene and he was actually proud how Yibo handles their conversation. He wasn't being a snob or giving Changying the cold shoulder. They continued to chat for a while about their shared group project and Xiao Zhan was happily finishing his melon bread from earlier.
"Yibo, since you're busy with council work, here, eat this sandwich for your lunch. I a-actually bought too much. Plus your next class will start in fifteen minutes," she reaches out a neatly wrapped sandwich and nervously looks at Yibo. Xiao Zhan thought how this Changying girl knew Yibo pretty well, even the vice president's schedule, she knows about it! Zhan didn't even pay attention to those kind of things.
"Oh, I already ha-"
"Aiya, Yibo is very greatful, Changying," Xiao Zhan smiled genuinely and nudges Yibo slightly, implying him to take the sandwich. Wang Yibo almost let his eyebrow twitch but received the food anyway.
"Thank you," he said and Changying gave him another smile, with her cheeks flushing slightly. "You're always welcome, Yibo. W-Well, I need to go, my friend told me to go to the library."
"Alright, see you," Yibo replied and gave her a short bow in which she returned it also. She quickly left and bid farewell to Xiao Zhan, too.
"I can't believe you were just about to reject that sandwich earlier!" Xiao Zhan exclaimed as he crossed his arms in disappointment. Wang Yibo frowned and gave his senior a look. "I already have another melon bread. I don't need to receive someone else's sandwich."
"Tsk, Yibo. A girl was offering you a sandwich. How could you reject free food? I can't believe this ah," Xiao Zhan complained as he shook his head and sighed. Wang Yibo couldn't understand why the other was so disappointed with it. Yibo himself doesn't have a big appetite, accepting food from others will just put it to waste. Besides, he doesn't just eat any food that would be offered to him.
"Well anyway, I didn't know you were also close with female students in your batch," Xiao Zhan smirked as he gave Yibo's back a pat. "We just work on the same group project. Nothing else."
"You don't need to be so cold on explaining it to me. She looks like a really nice lady," he praised as he throught about it. "She looks pretty ordinary to me," Yibo said quickly and Xiao Zhan huffed.
"Yah, this is a reason why you're single. Don't tell that to her face," Xiao Zhan said worriedly as he sat back down. "Why not? Telling the truth is better than lying about it."
"I... Can't argue with that but you shouldn't do that. Be nice to girls, okay? They didn't even do anything wrong with you to begin with."
The vice president was silent for a moment then looked at Xiao Zhan. "If I treat girls nicely, what will Zhan-ge do?"
"What's that gotta do with me ah?" He asked in confusion and yet, Yibo didn't answer him, waiting for Xiao Zhan to say something else instead. "Well, if you treat them nicely, I'll be very happy. You're also part of the student council. Be nice to your fellow schoolmates."
"Is that so," Yibo mumbled and sat on another chair, facing Xiao Zhan. The latter started spacing out when the conversation died and Yibo started to eat his melon bread silently.
Xiao Zhan thought that Changying could possibly be the person who has the the username of UniQname! The world is really quite small ah! He chuckled to himself and felt giddy. Playing cupid sounds nice and in fact, he's helping out his cold junior to have a lovelife. Very great indeed and he didn't even notice that Yibo looked at him when Xiao Zhan was smirking to himself.
The former president couldn't wait to tell the three juniors on what he just found out. What great news it was!
"Zhan-ge, I'll be heading to my next class," Yibo stood up from his seat and adjusted his uniform. "Oh, alright. I'll be leaving in a few minutes, too. You also go ahead-" Xiao Zhan stops in mid-sentence as he saw the untouched sandwich and frowned.
"You didn't really eat the sandwich ah."
"I'm too full," Yibo replied and Xiao Zhan squinted his eyes slightly at the other. "What a waste of good food. Next time eat it, okay? Now give me that."
Wang Yibo only stood there and looked at Xiao Zhan. The former president was confused and was about to say something when Yibo beat him to it. "No, I'll eat it."
"Eh, but you said-?"
"I'll be going now," Wang Yibo quickly excuses himself and left, leaving a disppointed and confused senior in the council room. Why was Xiao Zhan disappointed? He didn't get to eat a delicious sandwich since he was still feeling hungry and he was confused with Yibo's words.
He thought that it wasn't a big deal and just brushed it off. What he didn't know was that Yibo didn't like Xiao Zhan to eat someone else's food, he thought that a mere sandwich wasn't worthy for his president.

"Changying?" Peixin asked as he leans on the chair. Xiao Zhan hums a reply in a form of agreement. "Oh, I think I heard that name somewhere. Huang Changying? She's the science club president," Fanxing added as he listened to their conversation.
"Ah, I remember now! She's really adorable and very nice, too. She's a third year and shares 3 classes with Wang-ge," Guo Cheng explained as he taps on his screens.
"Then we now have a suspect for Uniqname," Xiao Zhan smiled proudly and Guo Cheng nods his head. "I really thought UniQname was a guy," Peixin commented and crossed his arms. "I thought that, too. But the username itself is very general."
"Well, we're not sure if she really is Uniqname," Fanxing said and Xiao Zhan puts a hand over his mouth, thinking of something. "Ay, didn't uniqname say that the person they're having foreign feelings is from someone they don't get along very well?"
"Yeah, they did say that. But no one is really sure how those two interact," Guo Cheng added. "Well, they looked like they get along well back in the council room," Xiao Zhan explained and thought harder about the situation. "Wait, isn't Wang-ge not in good terms with everybody? What I mean is like, he's hard to approach so you can say everyone's not in good terms with him. Basically they're scared."
"You have a point Xin!" Guo Cheng gasped as he smacked his friend's arm again. "The fuck! That hurts!" Peixin cursed as he sooths his arm and returned a smack to Guo Cheng. Fanxing sighed and turned to Xiao Zhan, "Then we're going to help them get together?"
"Of course, it would be nice to see Yibo having someone to like. I bet he'll look funny and awkward going out on dates," Xiao Zhan laughed evilly as he clasped his hands together.
"Zhan-ge seems ecstatic about this."
"Well, yes. That vice president of ours kept bullying me for being single ah. At least I know how to treat the girls right. I just want a bit of revenge and see his awkwardness, that's all," Xiao Zhan explained with a smile.
Fanxing laughs slightly and replied, "Zhan-ge is really funny. Wang-ge is very blessed to have a supportive senior."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said,"Aiya, we've come so far together. To be honest, it would be nice if he started dating someone. I bet he'll look soft."
"How come you say that?"
"Yibo's actually nice if you get to know him," Xiao Zhan said and the other two juniors stopped fighting. They turned to listen to Xiao Zhan. "Really?" Peixin asked and Xiao Zhan nodded with a grin. "Yes, and you know what's the best part?"
"Oh? What is it? Tell us Zhan-ge," Guo Cheng asked without masking his curiosity. "Come closer," Xiao Zhan beckoned the three to listen closer and they did.
"He has a lot of food in his condo!"
"Ohhh, I knew Wang-ge was loaded," Guo Cheng commented in amazement. "We have a lot of food in the house, too," Peixin said proudly and everyone started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Xin, you don't have to brag it," Guo Cheng teased and Peixin immediately felt embarrassed. "Hmph!"
"Wait, Zhan-ge has been to Wang-ge's condo before? You guys were actually that close?"
"Yeah, and we're close alright. He's a very good friend," Xiao Zhan said and the three juniors couldn't believe it.
The former president and vice president were really that close!? Weren't they like fire and ice before?
