At 5:50 a.m., Li Tian had already prepared in his uniform. He went down the stairs quickly and as usual, he threw his bag at the dinner table causing a loud clashing of zippers. He sat down and took the bread that was prepared for him. He bit the tip and chewed it slowly. His eyes were empty and his mouth stopped chewing. Something was troubling his mind. The sharp-eyed man let out a long sigh and put back his bite-sized bread on the plate. His left hand grabbed roughly the glass filled with white milk and drank it a few gulps then put it back down.
Tok tok tok tok
Li Tian knocked on the door of Lin Zi's room a few times, but he got no answer. He opened it and found an empty room.
"Aunt Tang!" call Li Tian to the woman who was cleaning the dining table. "Where is Lin Zi?" continued Li Tian after Aunt Tang was in front of him.
"Lin Zi left immediately after preparing breakfast" aunt Tang replied in a low tone.

The break bell rings. Some students went out and went to the cafeteria and some remained in the classroom eating the food they brought. Yaahhh his name is also an elite school, of course the supplies they bring are not supplies of simple home cooking but food made by famous chefs with a looming price. The goal is to show off to his friends.
"Lin Zi, eat this" Ming Yue said as she placed a piece of meat with her chopsticks onto Lin Zi's plate.
"Lin Zi's? Are you having any problems?" added Ming Yue realized the girl sitting in front of him was just staring at his food blankly.
"Ming Yue's..." Lin Zi hesitated to continue with her words.
Did he have to tell her about Jing Xuan? Did he have to tell her about what he experienced in Jing kingdom? Did he have to tell about the resemblance of Jing Xuan and Li Tian? Or should he say that he had feelings for Li Tian even though he was still unsure. Lin Zi was at a loss to look for the right words because if he told her all, his best friend might not believe it either. It is better to tell her feelings at this moment.
"Ming Yue. I think I am.."
Liked Li Tian - the word could not come out of his mouth. He knew his best friend liked the same guy even though he was told it wasn't a problem. It's just that he still can't bear to feel evil if he says it.
"Swipe" said a man standing beside Ming Yue carrying a plate filled with food.
"Li Tian" Ming Yue greeted excitedly seeing the man she liked sitting next to her.
Ming Yue shifted without hesitation and let Li Tian sit in front of Lin Zi. But Lin Zi looked unhappy. The girl put her chopsticks on her plate and stood up.
"Sit down!" li Tian's orders tightly.
Ming Yue looked puzzled by what she saw. What exactly happened between them and what did Lin Zi want to say to her earlier?
"Lin Zi, what's wrong?" ming Yue asked her best friend who was now losing her mood.
"Sit down!" repeated Li Tian in a loud tone making all the students who were eating at the canteen look at him.
"Why? Why do I have to obey what you say?" said Lin Zi opening his voice.
"Is it so hard to sit down and eat together?" li Tian said lowering his tone.
"Lin Zi, sit down. Everyone is looking at us." Ming Yue said.
"You always do and say everything unilaterally. You even forbid me to date. Have you ever asked my opinion?" said Lin Zi with a voice that sounded raucous.
Some students were seen holding their phones and recording the incident. Some also stream live streams.
"Why are you silent? Can't you answer that?" added Lin Zi when Li Tian still chose to shut up.
"Lin Zi, already..." Ming Yue walked up to Lin Zi and persuaded her to sit down, yet the girl still did not budge.
"Because you're mine!" li Tian said making all who heard him shocked.
Some people who were watching the live stream were surprised and left a lot of comments.
does he like the maid?
-Great! This is exclusive news!
- Aaaahhh my prince is expressing his feelings..
there's no way he's been rejected, right?
who would dare to refuse it?
"Yours? You think I'm the stuff you can have?" said Lin Zi.
"Since you agreed to a contract with me, I've considered you mine!"
"I agreed to a contract as your servant doesn't mean you can manage my life! You have the right to have me serve your request, but you have no right to forbid my wish!"
"really? Then what if I say that I like you?"
"What?"
"What if I like you?!" Li Tian stood up and raised his voice. "If I like you, am I still not entitled to forbid you from dating another man?!"
"Basic crazy!" muttered Lin Zi who then passed away.
Well that's what someone will say if you suddenly get a confession of love but in an unwanted way. Many scathing comments insinuated Lin Zi in some live stream channels that recorded the incident in the canteen. Lin Zi also got a lot of messages blaspheming her on her wechat or weibo account. Netizens are always commenting without knowing what really happened. They always act impulsively and do not think about how the person who is blasphemous feels. For some people, the meaning may be meaningless. But for a few more people, the curse may be enough to ruin their lives. Bully, is a thing that often happens either in school or work environment. Worse yet, even though they know they have hurt someone, they still feel high self-esteem and are reluctant to admit mistakes and apologize. It's as simple as that, but a lot of people can't afford to do it.
"Lin Zi.." murmured Ming Yue while stroking Lin Zi's crying shoulder while holding her phone.
"Ming Yue, I'm sorry.." said Lin Zi to her tears.
"It's okay, there's no need to tell a story right now. Calm yourself first" said Ming Yue who now hugged Lin Zi.
Bzzzrttt bzzzrttt bzzzrttt
Lin Zi's phone continued to tremble and Ming Yue unintentionally looked at the inscription on it.
"Euuuu they really don't know themselves! They think they are the most right?! Write your own comments! Lin Zi what if we just report them let them know the taste!" ming Yue said.
Lin Zi did not reply and Ming Yue was seen opening her phone and replying to some malicious comments on the completed live stream video.
"Euuhhhh how dare he say Lin Zi is cheap?! You don't know yourself, do you feel valuable just because you have a boyfriend?"
Ming Yue was busy replying to the comments by voicing what she typed. Finally it was Ming Yue's expression that managed to make Lin Zi laugh again.
"You laughing? Lin Zi did you just laugh? I'm busy replying to them and you're laughing?"
"Ming Yue.thank you.you are my best friend" said Lin Zi as she hugged her best friend.
"of course! I know you have no other friends besides me!"
They also joked back together to forget the sadness for a while. It's great to have a friend even if it's just one person. When you find it difficult, your best friend will always be there. Although it can't help much, at least they're the ones who can make you smile again. Therefore, the friend is very valuable and can not be compared with anything. If you have it, make sure not to betray it. Because their words later, can be the most painful words you never want to hear. As much as possible to help each other and dare to apologize first in case of a misunderstanding. Even if you are innocent, do not let your selfishness destroy a relationship.
