Chapter 12: Noodle shop fight.



"Uh.... Xiao Zhan!" Shen Waqing was surprised as she blurted. "How come you are here?

"Where else am I supposed to be?" He raised a line brow looking at her and then stated plainly. "I work here."

"Ah...sorry. I didnt know." Shen Waqing apologized.

Xiao Zhan glanced at her silently without replying. 

It wasn't his first time running into classmates when working. After the initial surprise some pretended not to know him while others would directly mock him.

"Don't liter the ground, the trash can is outside." Xiao Zhan said to the group before walking out.

"Ehn... Zhan-ge. Thanks for the snack." Lin Xinyu called out after him.

Class monitor Jin after several continuous failure and Lin Xinyu's constant rants gave up on the game, he grabbed a rice cake and proceed to join Shen Waqing.

He was better at studying so why not just study?

First he just sat by and watched her solve then he became interested and started to work together with her.

After playing for a while the rest also became bored and gathered around too.

Fang Yichen sat aside scrolling on his phone.

"Hey, Yuwei how do you do this one?" He Nuanxin took the opportunity to bring up the parts of the assignment she couldn't tackle.

When Xiao Zhan returned he was surprised to see the transformation into a study session.

It was already five. They hadn't had lunch expect for the snacks they ate their stomach was basically empty.

Xiao Zhan's shift had also ended so Fang Yichen suggested they go eat.

Everyone agreed.

Shen Waqing streched her limbs, her muscles felt a bit cramped after sitting all day.

Her bag had somehow ended up with Lin Xinyu whom kept swinging it back and forth as she walked.

The restaurant wasn't that far from the internet bar. The evening breeze carried the aroma of spicy noodles towards them. 

Fang Yichen's stomach grumbled unceremoniously and everone turned to look at him.

"What?" He scowled back before walking in.

The owner quickly walked up to them when she saw them.

"Good evening aunty." 

"Aiya you students s are here to eat again?" The owner smiled delightfully. She then looks around with a bit of a frown. "There are no empty tables.."

"Is that Xiao Zhan and his friends?" The owners husband poked his head the kitchen. He wipes his sweat with a thin towel hanging around his neck and pointed at a tight space before the kitchen. "Let them just set up a table there."

"Right. We can set up a table aunty." Class monitor Jin nodded. It was a bit crammed but okay.

"The chairs are at the back." She lead them around and a new table was added to the room in less five minutes.

The restaurant main speciality was spicy noodles and some side dishes.

A fiery steam rose from the bowl carrying a thick, almost tangible, mouthwatering aroma. Bright green scallions are finely chopped. The beef broth gleamed with chili oil that formed a thin layer over the top of the noodles.

Shen Waqing separated her chopsticks and took a big slurp.

It was hot and equally spicy. Absolutely delicious.

No one was talking with everyone with their bowl.

"Next time let's eat hotpot." Yu Leqi rubbed her stomach heartily, fully satiated.

"How can you still be thinking of food when you just ate?" Class monitor Jin was a bit slower and hadn't finish eating yet.

"It is called planning for the future." Yu Leqi shook her head and argued.

"No, it should be called gluttony." Class monitor Jin snorted which earned him a kick on the leg of his chair.

Just then a crash echoed in the restaurant.

"You really have a lot of guts. Can't you hear what I said or are you deaf?" A green haired, thug looking guy with very eye catching green said overturning his table. He grabbed on the owners husband's collar almost lifting him off the ground as he rage.

The owner husband although scared still forced himself to speak. His voice bitter. "We already paid the protection fee for this month. You can't just eat and not pay for it."

"I said to take it as the protection fee for next month old man." He and the group with him laughed.

They kicked down the chairs despite the owners frantic pleas and those next to them were also affected.

"Scram." The thug guy pushed the old man away indifferently but a hand caught him from behind before he could fall.

"Xiao Zhan." The owners husband staggered to his feet. A bit hesitant when his eyes met the younger boys dark ones. "Don't worry about me I am fine."

"Do they do this all the time?" Xiao Zhan didn't wait for him to reply, he walked up to the thug before everyone could react punched the lead thug right in the face.

"Shit." Fang Yichen bolted upright.

"You son of a bitch." The thug roar was cut off as Xiao Zhan grabbed his collar and gave him another punch.

"Pay you bill and scram." He said coldly.

"There are four of them! There are four of them." Class monitor Jin face paled as he chanted repeatedly even Lin Xinyu's face scrunched up worriedly.

"What are you doing just standing there?" The thug struggled against his hold with an ugly expression. He yelled at his friends.

They seem to snap out of it.

Fang Yichen scaled their table and wanted to join but was pushed aside by Xiao Zhan in the process someone landed a jab on the side of his stomach.

It was an unfair fight from the beginning. People rushed out not wanting to get caught up in it. 

Xu mingji swiftly grabbed a bottle one of the thug was about to smash and kicked him right out of the door. 

It was starting to turn into a full fight.

Shen Waqing frowned and immediately fetched her phone.

"You what are you doing?" The thug guy wiped the blood at the side of his mouth, boiling with rage when he saw someone calling the police.

"Yes officer. Not that noddle shop, it's the one after the the intersection to the left." Shen Waqing spoke into the phone in a fairly loud voice. "Yes...that one. Please hurry they are about to run. Just four of them. No guns, there are holding no guns..but there might be a knife."

"Fuck she is calling the police." One of the blue head thug friend cursed glaring at Shen Waqing.

It wasn't just the fight, if they get reported for having arms they might just go straight to prison of caught.

She shuddered but someone blocked in front of her.

Shen Waqing saw it was Fang Yichen. His slightly curved peach blossom eyes where filled with tauting. 

He seemed to have a natural skill for it. Been able to annoy just anyone.

"lets go, let's go. The police are coming." His friends quickly dragged the blue haired thug out of the restaurant and they bolted out of the alley.

"We can't let them run, they are escaping." Captain Jin hollered as they run away. "Are the

police near, let them hurry or they won't be able to catch them?"

Shen Waqing blinked, asking innocently. "Which police?"

There was a brief silence then everyone looked at her in unison.
