《Pen Pals {MXTX}》12- Lunch
Advertisement
Luo Binghe hurried up the threshold and into the eatery. He always liked this bistro.
The small restaurant was historically themed and while it might look out of place from the outside among the modern buildings, on the inside, the fengshui was comforting and serene.
And the best part about this place? He only needs one more dumpling stamp for a free family meal with drinks!!!
A happy Luo Binghe enters the restaurant.
"Luo-xiong, over here!!!" Wei Wuxian shouted, waving.
Luo Binghe made his way to his friends, walking past a water fountain screen, the water flowing down from the top of the glass into a stone pool bubbling over some small rocks.
"Luo-xiong, you should remember to bring an umbrella," said Wei Wuxian, seeing the slightly soaked Luo Binghe.
"Why are you telling someone to remember something?" Hua Cheng asked.
"Hm, fair point," Wei Wuxian agreed, "maybe, Hua-xiong, you can be our reminder alarm from now on."
Hua Cheng, "..." then he reached over and pinched the other boy on the arm.
Wei Wuxian yelped, almost falling out of his chair. Then the boy frowned and kicked the leg of Hua Cheng's chair.
Satisfied, he turned back to Luo Binghe with a happy face, "Luo-xiong, sit down, sit down! We haven't ordered yet, you can order for us! I want something ✨spicy✨!"
Hua Cheng can practically see the sparkles on the word 'spicy'.
"Sure," Luo Binghe smiled, waving over a waitress. The waitress begins taking his order.
Dun dun dun dun "Hey, my chair's wobbly!" dundundundundundun
"Would you like anything else?"
Dundudndundundundundun
"No, that's all, Miss."
DunDuNdUnduNdUnDunDUn
"Oh, can we also get a new chair?" said Hua Cheng, just as the waitress was about to leave.
"A new chair-?" the waitress asked, confused.

"Yeah, a new chair. You know, like one of those high chairs for 6 months olds."
"Hey!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed indignantly.
The waitress: "???"
Luo Binghe, "Sorry miss, my friend was joking, we don't need anything else."
"Ah, okay, I'll bring your food out shortly," the young woman smiled, before heading to the eatery's kitchen.
Wei Wuxian kicked the leg of Hua Cheng's chair once more before turning to look at Luo Binghe.
"Luo-xiong, where have you been after school every day? You just disappeared after the bell rings."
"I went to feed a stray cat near the postal office after school."
"Oh."
"Oh! Wait what?" Wei Wuxian spun his head around, "Hua-xiong did you know?"
"Yeah."
"How come you didn't tell me???" Wei Wuxian asked, putting his hands over his heart.
"Because you never asked." Luo Binghe and Hua Cheng simultaneously said.
"I didn't know I was supposed to ask! But, anyway, moving on, is it a cute cat? Or a kitten? Is it fluffy? Is it fat?" Wei Wuxian asked. "I want a cat!"
"Well, maybe I can bring you there tomorrow for you to see." Luo Binghe mused, "maybe that person would also be there."
"What person?" Wei Wuxian piped.
"Oh, it's this guy I encountered this afternoon when I went to feed Xiao Jiu."
"Xiao Jiu? That's the cat's name? Oh, what does the guy look like? Maybe I know him!"
Hua Cheng: "Why would you know them."
Wei Wuxian: "I might! It's a small world after all!"
Luo Binghe laughed, "Maybe, but I doubt you know him."
"You wouldn't know that until you tell me first! I know a lot of people!" Wei Wuxian pressed.

"Well," Luo Binghe scratched his cheek, "I couldn't really see much, it was raining and sort of dark... But he had long straight black hair, sharp almond-shaped eyes, I couldn't tell what his eye color was...it was too dark, he's really pretty though..."
Luo Binghe continues to describe Shen Yuan to a very attentive Wei Wuxian.
When Luo Binghe first saw this person, Shen Yuan, in an alleyway on a rainy day, Luo Binghe thought the boy looked... Actually, he didn't get a clear look the first time around.
But when he did got a clear look, if Luo Binghe was to use one word to describe the boy in front of him, it would be pretty.
The person was very pretty. No, not like an angel's prettiness, Luo Binghe thinks angels would look softer. But he was pretty. Very pretty.
Luo Binghe finished his description, "and that's what he looked like."
Wei Wuxian and Hua Cheng: "..."
"Sorry, Luo-xiong, I have a question." Wei Wuxian said seriously.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Are you describing some random guy you met in an alley or your girlfriend???" Wei Wuxian asked. "Cause I can't tell the diff- mfft!"
Hua Cheng stuffed a piece of bread into Wei Wuxian's mouth.
Luo Binghe blinked. "No, I'm not exaggerating. He was just very handsome."
"More handsome than Hua-xiong?" Wei Wuxian asked.
"..."
"You know, this person you speak of seems suspicious. I must investigate!"
"...Wei Ying, put the bubble pipe and detective hat away."

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...
