Slither 11

After finishing another subject, it was already lunchtime. Jiang Cheng and Huaisang left Wei Ying because they will be having their meeting about the paired portfolio over lunch. He also have a meeting with Lan Zhan for the same reason, and so after grabbing his things, he went straight to Lan Zhan who is already waiting for him on his desk. 

"Lan Zhan, where are we going?" Wei Ying chirped, masking the sadness he kept thinking since this morning at the back of his head.

They eventually left the room, walking side by side. The alpha looked at Wei Ying for a second. The tingling feeling on Lan Zhan's chest started creeping again so he looked away immediately, "Let's have lunch," he utters, not batting another look at the omega. 

Wei Ying nods, even giggles under his breath as he follows the alpha along the way.

When they arrived at the parking lot, a confused furrow on Wei Ying's forehead is evident, "Why are we in the parking lot?" He asked, completely lost. The alpha said they'll have lunch, but the cafeteria is just on the first floor of their building.

Lan Zhan glanced at him, "We'll have lunch."

Wei Ying's jaw dropped, yes they will have lunch but where? "But the cafeteria is inside?" he remarked, pointing with his thumb the way to their building.

"Noisy, we can't concentrate," he only answered and guide their way to his car. 

The omega, still utterly confused, followed the alpha anyway, but then he stopped in his tracks when they are already in front of the alpha's car. "I can drive my own car," he suggested making the alpha frown a little. The omega was awestruck, did Lan Zhan just frown? To anyone passing by, maybe they'll not notice, but to Wei Ying who is just a foot away from the alpha, he noticed how his brows knit. He giggles, "alright fine, we'll ride your car," he surrendered or maybe he just wants to see more of Lan Zhan's reactions.

.

It was a fifteen-minute ride but for some reason, it felt like seconds, Wei Ying keeps blabbering random things as he always does while the alpha only listens attentively, humming every now and then affirming him that he's listening. 

After parking somewhere beside a family restaurant, they got out of the car. Wei Ying once again has the confused furrow on his brow, he looked at the alpha when he realized where he brought him to, "This is a family restaurant, Lan Zhan," he utters. 

Lan Zhan glanced back, nodding like it's a matter of fact, "Yeah, let's go," he remarks, starting to walk his way. 

The omega is still confused, even then he followed the alpha, "But I thought you don't want it noisy?" he asked. 

The alpha halted for a second, struggling to come up with a word to answer. "Uhm, this is what came to mind," he simply answered and started walking to the door of the restaurant. Wei Ying tilted his head in confusion as he follows, well, if he say so.

They arrived inside, it's not particularly as noisy as the cafeteria but still,  the small murmurs and plates and spoons clanging together at every table will not give them any peace to start up talking about their project. 

"I'll order," the alpha suggested, but Wei Ying was quick to stop him by the wrist, "I'll go with you," he added. The alpha just sighed at him, he felt a sudden volt of electricity from the touch, and so he gently removed the latter's hands from his wrist. "It's fine. Just tell me what you want," he says, avoiding the determined eyes of the omega. 

Wei Ying pouted as he slumps back to his seat, "I don't know this place but anything like stew, or soup-y, I'm not picky anyway," he answers.

The alpha nods, "Okay, just wait here," he added, leaving the omega behind.
