[Cafeteria Mind Games 4] Four People Eating Together? Breaking the Rules!

Comments flooded the livestream.

"Hahaha, I'm dying. Li Hebing really loves putting on an act."

"He's such a drama queen!"

"What's he coming over for? I don't get it."

Li Hebing smiled faintly.

Of course, he had come over because-

He wanted to observe the big shot Chen Han up close.

He had wanted to get close to Chen Han from the start.

But he hadn't expected Chen Yinuo to cling to Chen Han like a round-the-clock bodyguard.

So annoying.

Another reason was that not only was Chen Yinuo clinging to Chen Han, but he was also talking to him nonstop.

Li Hebing naturally knew that the rules advised players to communicate with students as much as possible to obtain information.

So he had also come to sit at Chen Han's table to get useful information out of Chen Yinuo.

Chen Yinuo had initially been puzzled about why Li Hebing would sit at his table.

But after hearing Li Hebing say he wanted to learn from him-

The corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily.

"Oh, not at all. I'm just talking off the cuff. I'm not that good. Sure, I get almost every multiple-choice question right every time, but Chen Han's the real top student."

Meeting their gazes, Chen Han gave a slight nod.

A few scattered guesses appeared in the livestream chat.

"I feel like Chen Han knows perfectly well that Li Hebing came over to get information."

"Don't worry, person above. Chen Han knows exactly what everyone's thinking."

"He'll be fine for sure."

Chen Han actually had no idea why Li Hebing had come to sit with them.

He had thought Li Hebing was trying to cozy up to him because he was now his lackey.

Only after Li Hebing had been sitting there for over a minute-

Did he discover, to his shock-

That the person before him, Chen Yinuo-

Didn't have a single piece of useful information to offer!

And within that one minute, he had tried to strike up a conversation with Chen Yinuo three times.

Chen Yinuo had managed to ignore him completely.

He was practically a whole world unto himself.

Chen Yinuo talked all the way from the afternoon quiz scores and difficulty to the direction teachers would take with future quiz questions, and exactly what purpose quizzes served in relation to the college entrance exam...

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he wrote the college entrance exam papers, given how much he had to say.

Now Li Hebing actually felt a little sorry for Chen Han.

So Chen Han had been so quiet because he really couldn't get a word in with Chen Yinuo.

He had thought Chen Han was diligently staying in character.

Perhaps because Li Hebing's gaze was too strange-

Chen Han kept his head down and ate.

The livestream chat picked up again.

Most viewers liked watching Chen Han show off his skills, but they also liked his gap moe.

"Hahaha, I feel like Chen Han's getting pitied."

"Chen Han: now you know my pain."

"Now Chen Han isn't the only one getting a lecture. Li Hebing's joined him."

Chen Han's meal could originally have ended right there.

But unexpectedly, another familiar face popped up from somewhere.

Li Zhan, who sat behind Chen Han in class.

Li Zhan had been carrying his meal box while looking at the little biology notebook in his hand.

He muttered aloud.

"Prokaryotic cells: no nuclear membrane, no chromosomes, examples include E. co-"

But as he approached Chen Han, he abruptly looked up.

With supreme casualness, he said:

"Chen Han?! What are you doing here too?"

"Let's eat together!"

The livestream chat instantly exploded.

"Why's Li Zhan joining in too?"

"I think he just wants to chat."

"Chen Yinuo and Li Zhan might be the most human-feeling people in this class."

"Hahahaha, I can read ten thousand refusals on Chen Han's face."

"Chen Han: I don't know you."

Chen Han was truly at a loss now.

This obviously wasn't a chance encounter, okay?!

But he didn't really have a reason to turn Li Zhan down.

After all, they were sitting at two four-person tables pushed together.

There happened to be one spot left now.

The seat opposite Li Hebing.

Besides, the rules had also said to communicate with students as much as possible.

So even though Chen Han was unwilling-

He still steeled himself and nodded, then went back to eating with his head down.

Seeing that Chen Han hadn't objected, Li Hebing acted as though nothing had happened.

He continued listening to Chen Yinuo share his insights on studying, looking delighted while actually suffering.

Chen Yinuo paid no attention to Li Zhan, who had joined them midway.

He simply kept talking on his own.

Li Zhan's reason for coming over to sit at Chen Han's table was also simple.

He had seen Chen Yinuo talking nonstop.

And thought he was chatting.

Most students in this cafeteria studied while they ate.

Very few chatted, as though they were robots.

So he had wanted to sit over here to relieve his boredom.

Who would have thought Chen Yinuo was actually sharing his personal study techniques?!

He was about to faint.

Chen Yinuo, are you sick in the head?!

Attending class every day was already torture for him, and now he had to listen to a lesson while eating too.

But since he had been the one to ask to sit with Chen Han-

He couldn't very well change his mind now.

He could only keep eating miserably.

The livestream viewers were dying of laughter too.

"Hahaha, Li Zhan's pulling such a sour face."

"Li Zhan's expression is exactly like mine in class."

"Chen Yinuo's incredible. He's been talking all this time without stopping for breath."

The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long.

Li Hebing was observing how quickly Chen Han ate.

He planned to finish at roughly the same time as Chen Han.

Just then, he suddenly caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

Wasn't that Chen Han's deskmate, Wang Xihu?

Why was he behind Chen Yinuo?

And although Wang Xihu was expressionless, he inexplicably made people feel deeply uneasy.

The livestream chat was startled too.

"How come it isn't just the supernatural things at this school that are terrifying? The people are scaring me to death too."

"What's there to be scared of? Maybe he just wants to stand there and rest."

"Who rests directly behind someone, with such a piercing stare? That looks like a grudge to me."

At that moment, Li Hebing keenly noticed that Chen Han had paused in the middle of eating.

A thought stirred in Li Hebing's mind.

Looks like Chen Han noticed someone behind Chen Yinuo too.

But since Chen Han wasn't reacting-

I shouldn't react either. I'll just quietly watch Wang Xihu.

He often thought he could see through Chen Han's thoughts.

But in reality, when others were thinking one level ahead, he was thinking five levels ahead, while Chen Han...

Was up in the atmosphere.

Wang Xihu didn't stand behind Chen Yinuo for long.

He soon moved.

This time, he was going to sit beside Li Zhan!

Li Hebing was shocked!

He remembered that one of the rules said-

[Do not eat in groups of more than four. If there are more than four people, please change seats within ten seconds.]

If Wang Xihu really sat down now-

Then he and Chen Han would have to change seats within ten seconds.

Otherwise, they would face an unknown punishment.

A bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down Li Hebing's forehead.

That cold sweat wasn't from fear.

It was because-why wasn't Chen Han reacting at all?!

Hadn't he noticed?!
