Canned: Do You Have a Shortage of Beatings?

It was early morning, the smell of food emanated throughout the classroom,
The study rep, after correcting the last two math questions, wrinkled his nose and sniffed everywhere, “Which shameless bastard sneaked in fried chicken? Are you trying to stop us from studying in peace? Gao Tianyang was it you!”

Gao Tianyang smirked, and flaunted an entire box of fried chicken that he dug out from his desk. “Hungry? Want to eat it? Exchange it with your English practice paper.”
“Fuck!” There was a chorus of cursing, “I almost forgot that there’s still English!”
“Quick quick quick, some kind soul help me!”

Yesterday, the English teacher Yang Jing left them three practice papers for homework, a total of 150 multiple choice questions. Most people fell asleep before they could finish it, and this morning they end up wailing because of that.

“I just knew that the few of you definitely did not do it,” Gao Tianyang turned around while hugging the box. “I also know that our Mr Handsome over here is so damn good in English, he definitely finished everything, therefore I even prepared my bribery.”

As he clamoured, he turned around and instead saw the sight of Sheng Wang lying on the table. The sleeves that were usually rolled to the elbow were let down, and were snuggly hugging his wrist instead.
A good half of the class was scampering all over the place for homework, only he alone was asleep.

“Eh?” Gao Tianyang hovered around Sheng Wang with the box of chicken in his arms, “Broski? Morning class hasn’t begun yet and you are already sleepy broski, can you sleep after you save lives?”
Sheng Wang remained sprawled across the table. He used only a hand to feel around the inside of his desk, and later dug out three practice papers and smacked it onto the desk.

“Thank you for your gracious help.” Gao Tianyang settled the box of fried chicken on his desk, “This is my breakfast that I am offering up to you, do you want a taste?” Sheng Wang said stuffily, “I’m too full.”

“What’s up with you? Why do you sound so stuffy?” Gao Tianyang copied Old Wu’s accent, and said slowly in a dramatic voice, “Could it be that you’re crying?” Not only did he not stop at that, he even poked Sheng Wang with an Orchid Finger.
Sheng Wang silently looked up, and stared at him expressionlessly, “Your grandma’s the one crying.”

Gao Tianyang kept his mischievous finger the moment Sheng Wang lifted his head, “What the fuck? You look terrible, are you sick?”
“A little, I think. I forgot that I lowered the temperature for the air condition last night.”
“You still say a little with the way you are now?” Gao Tianyang said, completely done. “Your face screams that you’re sick right now, do you want to get some medicine from the sick bay?”
“Where’s the sick bay?” Sheng Wang asked.

There were many people in the classroom, and the air condition was usually strong. He was already feeling unwell when he left the house in the morning, lying down here worsened it. His lazy voice was getting hoarser.

Gao Tianyang said, “There’s a hill by the school’s west gate, climb up the stairs and the sick bay is right there.”
Sheng Wang said, “Where’s west?”
“......”

Gao Tianyang scratched his ears, and in that exact moment he saw someone pass by, and casually grabbed, “Tian-ge, where’s west?”
It was business as usual whenever Jiang Tian got called to the office before class started in the morning, there were always plenty of teachers looking for him, everyone was used to it. He placed the stack of papers he brought back from the office on the study rep’s desk, turned around and asked Gao Tianyang, “What’s where’s west?”

Sheng Wang eyed him, and his gaze accidentally met with Jiang Tian’s downcasted eyes.
Maybe they were still affected by the incident in the morning. They both broke eye contact the moment they met.
