Chapter 077: The Great Cafeteria War“Give it to me!” Xia XiXi immediately stretched out her hand, demanding that Chen Yan return the chocolate he had snatched from her. Chen Yan, however, just smiled and teased her, dangling the chocolate just out of her reach.Xia XiXi's face turned red with anger as she tried to grab the chocolate, but Chen Yan was too quick. He popped the chocolate into his mouth and started chewing, a satisfied smirk on his face.Xia XiXi's eyes narrowed, and she reached out to grab another piece of food from Chen Yan's plate. But before she could even touch it, Chen Yan had already snatched it away and put it in his own mouth.Xia XiXi was furious. She grabbed her chopsticks and started eating her own food with a vengeance, trying to show Chen Yan that she didn't need his food anyway.Chen Yan watched her with an amused expression, but he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He reached out and snatched a small cake from Xia XiXi's plate, putting it in his mouth and chewing slowly.Xia XiXi's eyes widened in outrage as she realized what Chen Yan had done. She quickly grabbed another piece of food from her own plate and tried to snatch the cake back from Chen Yan, but he was too quick. He dodged her chopsticks and continued eating the cake, a smug look on his face.Xia XiXi's anger boiled over, and she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor. "You're going to regret this!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the cafeteria.Chen Yan looked up at her, startled, but he didn't back down. Instead, he continued eating the cake, his eyes locked on Xia XiXi's furious face.The other students in the cafeteria started to stare, drawn in by the commotion. Some of them whispered to each other, speculating about what was going on between Xia XiXi and Chen Yan.Permitting himself a small smile, Chen Yan finally swallowed the last bite of cake and stood up, his eyes never leaving Xia XiXi's face. "You're really something else," he said, his voice low and even.Xia XiXi's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she realized that she had lost control of her temper. She tried to storm out of the cafeteria, but Chen Yan was too quick. He caught up to her and grabbed her arm, spinning her back around."What do you want?" Xia XiXi spat, trying to shake off his grip.Chen Yan's eyes narrowed, and he leaned in close. "I want you to calm down," he said, his voice low and urgent. "You're going to hurt someone if you keep acting like this."Xia XiXi's anger faltered for a moment as she looked up at Chen Yan. She saw the concern etched on his face, and her heart skipped a beat. But then her pride took over, and she jerked her arm free. "I don't need your help," she said, turning and stalking out of the cafeteria.Chen Yan watched her go, a mixture of emotions swirling inside him. He knew that Xia XiXi was still hurting from their earlier argument, but he had no idea how to make things right between them.As he turned to leave, he noticed a figure watching him from across the room. It was their class teacher, Mr. Xu, and he looked like he had just witnessed the whole scene."Ah, Chen Yan," Mr. Xu said, his voice dripping with amusement. "I see you're still having trouble with Xia XiXi."Chen Yan's face turned red as he realized that Mr. Xu had seen everything. "It's nothing, sir," he muttered.Mr. Xu chuckled and patted him on the back. "Don't worry about it, Chen Yan. You two will figure things out eventually. After all, you're both young and in love."Chen Yan's eyes widened in shock as Mr. Xu walked away, whistling a happy tune. He couldn't believe that their teacher had just said what he did.
