Chapter 50: Interference

It was National Day, and Sheng Wang expected the school to be empty. To his surprise, the hallways were buzzing with students who had chosen to stay behind. On the sixth floor alone, several dormitories were occupied, including the one next door, 601, which housed students from a special second-year high school class.

Akala ni Sheng Wang na sila lang ni Jiang Tian ang nandoon, pero mukhang hindi pala ganun. Ang mga estudyante sa 601 ay naiibang grupo—kakaunti ang kanilang mga asignatura kumpara sa iba at kilala sa kanilang relaxed na ugali. Pero ang ugali na ito ay minsan nagiging competitive, lalo na sa mga estudyante mula sa Class A na kilala sa kanilang academic prowess.

Sa unang araw ng bakasyon, dumating ang dalawa sa mga bagong kaibigan ni Sheng Wang mula sa 601, sina Xander at Kaimook, para makipaghang out. Bitbit nila ang mga stack ng papel at naglagay ng mga dramatikong ekspresyon.

"Brother Sheng, Brother Jiang Tian," sabi ni Xander, na parang umiiyak, "Nakita niyo ba ang dami ng homework na meron kami?"

Si Jiang Tian, kakabalik lang mula sa almusal, at si Sheng Wang, na kumakain ng porridge ng dahan-dahan, ay tumingin sa kanila. Tinuro ni Sheng Wang ang mesa.

"It's all there," he said, indicating a mountain of papers.

Xander's eyes widened. "36 papers? Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Tian nodded. "Yep, 36."

Xander and Kaimook exchanged glances and then sat down, their earlier dramatics forgotten. Xander shook his head in admiration. "You two are truly beasts. How do you even manage to get through this much homework?"

Sheng Wang chuckled. "We just scream internally. Sometimes we pretend it's not happening."

The boys laughed, and kaimook added, "Well, we'll just hang out with you and soak in some of that study brilliance."

As they settled in, Sheng Wang picked at his breakfast, meticulously removing every carrot and green pea. Jiang Tian pushed over some dumplings, saying, "Stop picking. There's nothing in there."

Sheng Wang, looking puzzled, replied, "Are they secretly growing carrots in the school's kitchen? I swear, they're in everything."

The boys laughed, and kaimook said, "You have quite the eye for detail. I can't believe you're still at it."

Jiang Tian pushed a half-eaten dumpling towards Sheng Wang. "Just eat it. I'll take care of the rest."

As Sheng Wang reluctantly ate the dumpling, the boys watched in amusement. Xander and Kaimook were clearly struggling with their own papers, their progress slow compared to Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian's speed.

Hours passed, and as the clock ticked, the boys became increasingly flustered. Lao Mao groaned, "I can't believe this. We're still stuck on the third question!"

Jiang Tian, already finished with his work, looked at them sympathetically. "Don't worry, you're almost there."

Sheng Wang, who had been pretending not to notice, finally spoke up. " kailangan mo ng backup?"

Kaimook and Xander gratefully accepted. They borrowed some of Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian's completed papers to compare notes. As they worked together, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

After some time, xander and kaimook finally managed to finish their work. They slumped over the table, exhausted. "We're done," Lao Mao said, barely able to move.

Sheng Wang grinned. "You're finished already? We've still got a bunch of papers left."

The two laughed, "We can't keep up with you guys. You're in a league of your own."

The boys bid farewell, leaving Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian alone in the study room. Sheng Wang glanced at Jiang Tian, who was still focused on his English paper.

"Are you still writing?" Sheng Wang asked, trying to make conversation. "Do you want to grab something to eat?"

Jiang Tian looked up, his expression softening. "I'm not too hungry. It's kind of late for breakfast anyway."

Medyo nahihiya si Sheng Wang, kaya't nagmungkahi siya, "Paano kung kumuha tayo ng snack mamaya? Alam ko ang isang lugar na may pinakamasarap na dumplings."

Ngumiti si Jiang Tian, may halong warmth sa kanyang mga mata. "Sounds nice! Tara, gawin natin 'yan."

Habang tinatapos nila ang mga gawain, ang mga daliri ni Sheng Wang ay parang sumasayaw sa papel, at ang kanyang karaniwang relaxed na ugali ay napalitan ng pagiging focus. Paminsan-minsan, tumitingin siya kay Jiang Tian na masigasig na nagtatrabaho sa tabi niya. Ang presensya ni Jiang Tian ay isang nakakagaan ng pakiramdam sa gitna ng stress ng mga papel.

Sa wakas, napansin ni Jiang Tian ang mga banayad na pagtatangkang makuha ang kanyang atensyon ni Sheng Wang. Naglaro siya, tinapik ang kamay ni Sheng Wang, at sabi, "Ayaw mo bang magpahinga? Parang gusto mong magpakita ng mga kakaibang tricks."

Natawa si Sheng Wang, ang mukha niya ay medyo namumula. "Gusto ko lang naman na mapansin mo ako paminsan-minsan," sabi niya, sabik na magtago ng ngiti. "At baka gusto mong may tumulong sa'yo sa pag-aaral."

Jiang Tian umikot at ngumiti, "Siyempre, may oras pa tayo para sa mga tricks mamaya. Pero ngayon, magtrabaho muna tayo."

Nagpatuloy silang nagtatrabaho, pero bawat tingin at halakhak ay puno ng simpleng ligaya sa kanilang pagiging magkasama.

Jiang Tian's smile widened, and for a moment, their hands touched lightly as Jiang Tian moved them aside. Sheng Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm done," Sheng Wang said, finally putting down his pen.

Jiang Tian looked up, meeting Sheng Wang's gaze. "Me too. Ready to grab that snack?"

"Absolutely," Sheng Wang replied, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

As they walked out together, the day's stress seemed to melt away. The two of them, side by side, were ready to enjoy their well-deserved break.
