Chapter 15 - Second day at school.

The next day at school was a lot more comfortable for Shen Yu.

Because of the clash with iron rooster the day before He Qiao and his group of back seat troublemakers didn't show up in class.

Apart from the fingers pointed at him as he walked down the hall ways and the hushed whispers that followed him everywhere he went.

It wasn't that bad. Shen Yu told himself.

At lunch break he filled his tray with food and found an empty table in a small corner to sit at. 

He didn't have any friend in the first place.

There was a lot of interesting things available in the district forum market so Shen Yu browsed through curiously as he ate.

A sudden shadow fell on him and he looked up just in time to see Tang Mo setting his lunch tray opposite him.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yu turned off his phone to stare at him.

"Eating." The class committee picked up his chopsticks, then gestured at his food. "Why?"

Do you have to seat here? Shen Yu swallowed his words.

Afterall it wasn't like they write his name on the table. He didn't own it.

"Have you borrowed notes to make up for the classes you missed?" Tang Mo asked offhandedly, picking on his vegetables. 

Shen Yu had also been worrying about this. He didn't have any friend in their class, and after the accident they have become even more wary of him.

Tang Mo glanced at him subtly and said."I can give you mine." 

"No thanks."

"But we covered a lot of topic in your absence and the exams are drawing near. Are you sure you don't need it?"

Shen Yu didn't bother looking at him. "I will find some else to borrow from."

"You just don't want mine..."

Before he could respond, they both saw two girls walking towards their table.

The one at the front was slightly shorter. Hair put up in a ponytail with a round, cute face. There was a look of hesitation on her face as she asked. "You are Shen Yu right?"

"Yes. Is there a problem." Shen Yu frowned.

They acted strange. Like they didn't want to talk to him but were forcing themselves.

"Can we sit down?" She asked again. The girl beside her wringing the edge of her skirt, nervously.

"Do what you want." It wasn't like he cared. 

"Thank you." They both sat down beside Tang Mo. And the short cutie went ahead to introduce. "I am Ha ri and this is my friend Wu Zixin ."

Shen Yu couldn't ignore the stare. "Is there something you need from me?"

"I....we..." Ha ri stuttered.

"We need your help." Wu Zixin was the one who spoke up. "Something happened to our other friend. She...she has a bit of a problem...like yours. I don't mean it in a bad way. But she...we tried visiting her but it keeps getting worse. She doesn't wants us telling anyone, and won't seek help. Can you please help us talk to her?"

Tang Mo shook his head. "Shen Yu is not a therapist. Its better to tell the teachers...."

"Absolutely not!" Ha ri raised her voice. Anxiety visible on her face. "She said not to. It she will do something bad to herself. She thinks she has some kind of illness that no one can know about."

Her eyes water as she stared at Shen Yu. "Please... please try to talk to her. We won't bother you again after this."

Shen Yu didn't think he was in the position to give people advice. But he also didn't feel comfortable doing nothing. He nodded, saying softly. "Okay. Let's go together after school. But don't get your hopes up."

"We wont. Thank you! Thank you very much." Ha ri almost jumped to hug him, then held herself back after remembering his reputation. She dragged Wu Zixin by the arm as she stood up. "Don't forget. We will come to your class oncr school closes."

After they walked away, Tang mo turned to him. "Are you really going to do it?"

"Its non of your business." Already done eating, Shen Yu picked up his tray, stood up and walked away.

At the end of class they all gathered together outside the school gate. Only there was one person he wasn't expecting to see which made his expression turn sour.

"What are you doing here?" 

"What do you mean? Wasn't I among the plan in the first place?" Tang Mo adjusted his glasses, then turned to smile at the girls. "Let's go, shall we?"
