When Cheng Che turned his head, he only saw Zhou Zhou being splashed all over. But Yu Yang, who was sitting not far away eating, saw what really happened very clearly.
Really, Yu Yang swore to the heavens. Even without any friendship filters, he could tell that the beta did it on purpose.
Yu Yang cursed and put down his chopsticks. He walked towards Zhou Zhou. Cheng Che also frowned and walked over. Several other betas who were chatting with them followed along. After all, the one who made the mistake and bumped into someone was a beta. So it was necessary for everyone to intermediate together.
Zhou Zhou looked coldly at the beta in front of him. He did see Cheng Che. Logically, he should pretend to be aggrieved and weak, waiting for Cheng Che to come over and resolve the situation for him together. However, he wasn’t in the mood to pretend. Damn, he was so angry. Being inexplicably splashed all over, who could endure that? Besides, Zhou Zhou was not the kind of person who could endure things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fought with people before.
So, before Cheng Che and Yu Yang reached Zhou Zhou, they witnessed Zhou Zhou’s next move. Not only them. But basically the entire dining area, including alphas and betas, witnessed it.
Zhou Zhou held a tray in one hand and a cola in the other. Expressionless, he used his index finger to push open the plastic lid of the icy cola. The lid floated lightly to the ground without a sound. Zhou Zhou took a step forward, stepped on the sticky rice and dishes on the ground, lifted his hand, and decisively poured the entire cup of cola over the beta’s head. He left nothing behind. From head to toe, he thoroughly drenched him.
Zhou Zhou now only regretted not buying a larger cup of cola. The medium-sized cup was simply not enough for him to feel satisfied.
***
The beta, who had been wiping his hands, was suddenly drenched by the icy liquid not long after. He raised his head in disbelief. But his vision was already blurred. He smelled the cola and heard the fizzing sound of carbonation.
Cheng Che understood. After starting a relationship, Zhou Zhou always appeared soft and submissive like a well-behaved little puppy in front of him. It made him almost forget that this little puppy used to be a wild cat that knew how to scratch people.
He also recognized the beta—it was the person who had taken a sneaky photo of him and Zhou Zhou hugging in the study room. He didn’t expect that just because he wasn’t by Zhou Zhou’s side for a moment, Zhou Zhou would run into trouble with him.
The other betas were momentarily unsure of what to do. The surrounding students were also dumbfounded, not understanding the current situation. However, Yu Yang walked over and pinched Zhou Zhou’s shoulder. He moved him a little to the side and admonished him, “Zhou Zhou, is this appropriate? Cola tastes so good, why waste it like this? If someone splashes you, just use soup to splash them back. Isn’t that enough?”
With these words, he clearly implied that he had the suspicion that the beta had intentionally splashed Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou, with a cold expression, shook off the vegetable soup from his sleeve and said, “You don’t understand. Soup is hot. So it doesn’t have the refreshing effect of icy cola.”
The beta in front of him still seemed unable to believe that he had been drenched in cola by Zhou Zhou. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he wiped his face and gritted his teeth. He pointed at Zhou Zhou and angrily asked in a low voice, “Why did you intentionally pour it on me?”
Before Zhou Zhou could reply, the beta’s hand pointing at Zhou Zhou was pushed away. Cheng Che stood in front of Zhou Zhou and calmly said, “There are surveillance cameras everywhere. We can have the administrator pull up the footage to see.”
The beta, upon seeing Cheng Che, panicked for a moment. He then lowered his head and moved toward his approaching friends. His voice suddenly weakening, “I really didn’t do it on purpose…”
Zhou Zhou had completely lost interest in dealing with him. All he wanted was to go home and change his clothes. Being covered in vegetable soup was just too uncomfortable. He swore never to come to the cafeteria for meals again—what a frustrating experience.
“Zhou Zhou didn’t do it on purpose either,” Cheng Che said in front of the onlookers. “Since you can accidentally splash vegetable soup on Zhou Zhou, he can also accidentally pour cola on your head.”
“I…” The beta hesitated, looking like someone who had suffered grievances and dared not speak too much. He bit his lip, wiping the cola off himself.
His vulnerable appearance prompted some other betas nearby to advise, “Let it go, let it go. It’s all accidental. Stop arguing and just eat.”
“Yeah, we’re all from the same school. No need to prolong this.”
…
“I’ll contact the cafeteria administrator to check the surveillance footage later. If you really didn’t do it on purpose, I’ll apologize on behalf of Zhou Zhou. But if it was intentional, I hope you can apologize to Zhou Zhou in front of everyone when the time comes.” Cheng Che stared at the beta, leaving no room for negotiation.
He knew Zhou Zhou too well. If the other party had genuinely made a mistake, there was no way Zhou Zhou would retaliate.
Checking the surveillance footage could potentially escalate the situation. The beta underestimated both Zhou Zhou and Cheng Che. He lowered his head in silence for a while. When he raised his head again, his eyes were red. He looked at Zhou Zhou and whispered, “Don’t make it so troublesome. Just blame it all on me. It’s okay. Zhou Zhou, I’m sorry.”
The implication here is that we forced you to apologise? Even putting all the blame on you, it’s like we’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
Zhou Zhou looked at the beta and sneered. Zhou Zhou was attractive and had a soft appearance. His usual expressions were lively and cute. However, his smile this time carried a cold and mocking undertone. It was unexpectedly chilly. Zhou Zhou said, “I don’t have the time to bother finding someone to check the surveillance for your sake. I don’t accept your apology either. But if you try something like this again…”
He pointed to the mess of food on the ground, “I will definitely press your head into this.”
His expression was cold and his voice had lost its usual clarity, sounding somewhat deep. The alphas who knew Zhou Zhou exchanged glances, expressing surprise. It had been a long time since Zhou Zhou had shown such a rouge side. It seemed like everyone had almost forgotten how fierce he could be.
Cheng Che didn’t have time to dwell on it further. He took out some tissues, grabbed Zhou Zhou’s hand, and gently asked, “Is it hot?”
“It’s okay. It splashed on my clothes, so I don’t feel much heat.” Zhou Zhou handed his tray to Yu Yang. He then disdainfully tugged at his soaked school uniform. “I’m going to take a leave.”
“Let’s go together.” Cheng Che held Zhou Zhou’s hand, leading him nonchalantly out of the cafeteria.
They left behind a group of dumbfounded alphas and betas.
Yu Yang snapped back to reality and silently cursed these two lovebirds who couldn’t restrain themselves in any situation. Then, he kicked the tray on the ground and said to the beta, “Hey, clean up your mess. If you’re the one who did it, don’t expect the cleaning lady to do it for you.”
Having said that, he walked away. Other betas tried to comfort the beta named Su Han, saying, “Su Han, don’t be upset. We’ll help you clean up.”
Su Han, still glaring at the backs of Cheng Che and Zhou Zhou, wiped the cola off his neck and said with disdain, “No need. I can just call a cleaner to come in.”

Covered in vegetable soup, Zhou Zhou had just entered the teachers’ office. Before he could even request leave, the class teacher, who was chatting with someone, exclaimed, “Oh my goodness. Zhou Zhou, what happened to you? Why are you covered in food? Hurry, hurry. I’ll write you a leave note. Go back, take a shower, and change your clothes.”
Zhou Zhou replied, “… Thank you, teacher.”
At that moment, Cheng Che, who had been waiting for Zhou Zhou at the office door, stepped in. He glanced at Zhou Zhou, then turned to their class teacher and calmly said, “Teacher, I’d like to request leave.”
“Huh?” The class teacher capped his water bottle. “How long? Will you be back tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is Saturday,” Cheng Che calmly reminded the teacher.
“Alright, then go ahead. Try to come to school afterward. I’m counting on you to be the top scorer,” their class teacher said.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zhou’s class teacher turned to him and said, “Zhou Zhou, I’ll give you two hours. Can you make it back here after taking a shower and changing clothes?”
“…,” Zhou Zhou silently cursed the disparities in life.
“Teacher, since we finish school early on Fridays, I won’t come in the afternoon,” Zhou Zhou tugged at his clothes, a pitiful look on his face. “I’ll take the homework home and do it properly.”
Covered in vegetable soup, with a meek and delicate expression, he anxiously gripped his clothes. However, he miscalculated the strength and inadvertently squeezed a few drops of soup onto the floor, making him look pitiful.
“Alright, alright. Go home and study well. What a mess you’re in with all that soup. Go back and change your clothes. It must be really uncomfortable,” the class teacher said.
“Mm,” Zhou Zhou nodded, sniffing back his nose.
