"Oh." Huiyin said and sudden has a flashback when she saw the four ambulance. It was three years ago, could they be the flower boy's? "But how can the four of them get involved in an accident at the same time."

"China great singer, Mr Teo saw Siwang talent and invited him to come and sing at his concert. And then they followed him to keep him company and support him."

"Was Kang with them?" She asked as she ate the last piece of Kung Pao chicken in her plate. She has finished all the food.

"Nope, he was out with his father and stepmother that night." Zan replied and continue. "After the accident, everything changed. Jihuang right leg was completely damaged, doctors said he can't use his right leg again. His hopes to be enlisted in the top five best runners in all schools in China was gone just like that."

Huiyin remember someone who had sat close to her with clutches the previous day. Could he be Jihuang?

"What about Zhengfu?" Huiyin asked.

"He was paralyze from the waist down, he now uses a wheelchair. Even the water which was his second home couldn't heal him."

"The singer? That is Siwang, what about him?" She asked.

"He lost his inspiration, his twin sister who was with them died. She was his inspiration. He just couldn't sing after that accident."

"And what about Luciano?" Huiyin found herself asking.

"Half of his face was damaged so I heard. We haven't seen him after that accident. Rumors say he shut himself from the world ever since that night." Zan answered and heaved out a sad sigh. "Luciano has gone through a lot, he doesn't believe in love."

"Why doesn't he believe in love?" Huiyin asked with knee interest.

"His father was once a Private in the army and got married to his heartthrob. They were poor and lived on his wages, unknown to him, his mother was having an affair with the General of the Army. He found out by then Luciano was already 5. His wife and the general connived and lied against him. He was suspended at the army for 5 years. He was kicked out of the house given to him by the army and he lived with his son on the streets for the years he was suspended. His wife later got married to the general. And now today, his father who was suspended from the army is now the Chief of Army Staff in the whole of China. The same general now salute him with respect. So if you were in Luciano's shoe will you believe in love?"

"Maybe Zan or maybe not, but how did you know his story?"

Zan smiled. "Who doesn't know Luciano story in this school?"

"Thanks for telling me Zan." She said "Hey! Mrs Cheng!" Huiyin called out loudly in the quiet cafeteria.

The middle aged woman went to meet them.

"How much is the food we ate?"

"300,000 Yan Mr Huiyin." She answered.

Huiyin eyes widen. She laughs thinking it was a joke.

"If it is a joke ma'am please stop it and tell me the real payment." Huiyin said.

"That's the amount Mr Huiyin."

"How much is your Apple?" Biyu asked.

"60,000 Yan and the food you ate is 240,000 Yan."

"Is the food from five star hotel or what?" Huiyin asked.

"Exactly Mr Huiyin."

Huiyin expressed shock

Huiyin brought out Zan money and also her own and gave it to the woman.

Collecting the money, she counted it and stare at Huiyin. "Your balance is 297,000 Yan Mr Huiyin."

"Can I pay up the money later?" Huiyin asked with a sweet smile

"Nope."

Huiyin knock Zan head "Why didn't you tell me their food is expensive?"

"I tried to tell you, but you didn't believe me." Zan said. "Told you we should stay in the rich section. If you don't pay the money, you will wash the used plates for a month and still pay up the money." He added.

"Pay up your money Mr Huiyin." Mrs Cheng raised her voice attracting everyone's attention to them.

10 body build men came and surround their table.

One went ahead to hold Huiyin on her shirt and she nearly punch the man but held herself once she remembered she got to the school through a scholarship.

"Leave my shirt Mister let me bring out the remaining balance." Huiyin said and the man left her shirt. She covered the space between Zan and started searching his pockets.

"Can you run?" Huiyin whispered into Zan ears.

"No." Zan replied silently.

"Do you know a perfect hiding space in the school?"

"Uhm..."

"Okay." Huiyin said and didn't let him finish, every students eyes were glue to them. "Listen up everyone." She shouted the words climbing the table carefully, trying not to break any plate.

Who knows the amount they will call when one breaks a plate.

She stared at the muscular men trying to scare her with their little chests.

"I Huiyin will pay up the money." She announced with her head held high.

"Now?" Mrs Cheng asked.

"In three years to come." Huiyin answered and ran out of the cafeteria with lightning speed.

No one even saw her shadow
