He had just been awakened by the blaring rays of the sun once again, slowly opening his eyes as he sat up and rubbed his forehead, not remembering when he actually ended up falling asleep, but shrugged it off before getting up from his bed and walking over to the kitchen area as usual. He stood for a moment, looking around the room, sighing then opening the front door before walking out and locking it from the outside and making his way back down the stairs as normal, and continued his way back to town for another walk. He walked silently for some time, closing his eyes every so often but making sure to listen to his surroundings, not wanting to bump into another bystander. After some time he had made his way back to the part of town nearby with the small shops and eateries, he inhaled deeply and stuffed his hands into his pockets and continued to walk forward, before noticing someone in front of him.
"Him again…" He thought as he saw the blond haired British man walking in his direction. He plastered another smile onto his face and waved a hand to the man, who waved back and walked up to the boy.
"Fancy meeting you here again, Shengshun, or does just Li work?" His icy blue eyes looking bright in the sun light as he tilted his head slightly to the side, waiting for his answer.
"Li would work just fine, Jack-San." He replied to the older man, or so he assumed to be a few years older than himself.
"Then Li it is." A small smile curled its way to Jack's lips as he patted the boy gently on the head and chuckled.
The boy known as "Li" shot a small glare at the man, but quickly changed his expression to more of a dumbfounded look "He-" But before he could finish his sentence, a loud sound of something resembling a growl stopped him from continuing his words. His face turned a light pink color as he let out a nervous laugh, after noticing what the sound was. His stomach. Jack, who was standing in front of him, and giving him an odd look, and let out a laugh as well.
"Sounds like there's a pack of lions nearby." He let out another laugh and smiled at the boy with a sympathetic look, noticing how thin the boy actually was, he thought maybe he didn't have the money for food often.
Hei rubbed the back of his neck, his cheeks still a light pink color and smiling nervously "Guess I shouldn't have skipped breakfast this morning…" He let out a bit of a comical sigh then shrugged his shoulders.
Jack, still smiling, patted the raven haired boys head once again and spoke calmly "Well, why don't you show me what's a good place to eat around here, and I'll treat you to a nice breakfast there as a reward."
His midnight blue eyes widened as he looked at the man "A-Are you sure? I don't want to seem like a lost cause or anything…C-Cause I'm not, my mind was just full with thoughts this morning and I simply forgot…" Pulling his usual innocent act, he rubbed the back of his neck nervously once again and let out another sigh.
The blond nodded to the boy "I'm positive, I'd like to learn a bit more about you anyway, Li, so this would be the perfect chance."
He blinked and looked at the man for a moment, then nodded his head "Well alright...I don't really know many good places, but I do know a good ramen shop." He grinned and turned away from the man, and started to walk instantly, knowing the blond was following him, considering he could hear footsteps behind him, he thought it a waste to turn around and make sure. After a few minutes of walking, they had made it to the fairly small, yet excellent ramen shop. Hei opened the door, and kept it held open for the British man, who nodded in thanks and walked inside, looking around the small establishment with a rather unenthused look upon his face. After closing the door, the boy looked at the blond Brit, his eyes scanning the facial expressions the man made.
"Heh, don't worry its better than it looks, trust me." He shot the man a soft smile before walking to one of the tables and sitting down, laying his arms on the table while he waited for the store owner to come and notice them.
Jack nodded his head at the boy, and followed him to the table, taking the seat across from the boy and sitting down, propping his elbows up on the table, and taking another look around, before he noticed the waiter walking to their table.
"Oh Li! It's nice to see you again, and I see you have a friend with you!" The waiter, also the store owner bowed his head to the man, smiling widely. "Li-Kun here is one of our regular customers."
The British man turned his attention to the raven haired boy, who was smiling nervously and rubbing the back of his head "Like I said…This place is better than it looks."
The waiter let out a laugh and turned back and headed toward the kitchen "I'll just bring out the usual!" He waved his hand to the men before disappearing into the back.
Jack raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side "The usual would be?" His voice was full of curiosity and confusing.
Hei let out a nervous laugh and looked around the room for a moment "Well…You'll see…" He looked back at the blond, and gave him a slight smile before crossing his arms and leaning back into the chair.
"Hmm…Alright." The Brit said, before he leaned forward slightly, and looked at Li "So, Li, I would like to learn a bit more about you, if you wouldn't mind." He gave a soft smile, then raised an eyebrow as his curiosity rose.
Li nodded then began to speak "Well…I'm from China, here as a student. I live alone, I take on part time jobs often. And umm…" He thought for a moment "What should I tell him?" He thought to himself as he looked at the man "Well, what exactly do you want to know?"
