Despite Reid telling him he could take several days off, Evan still insisted on going to school the following day. It would be best not to spend too much time around Reid lest the man notice something was off. As the person closest to the other Evan, he was the most likely to realize that his little brother had been replaced. Besides, dealing with Yuyan and Marcus at school seemed far easier. "Yo, Evan! I thought you were going to take a week off!" Marcus said, waving when he saw Evan entering the classroom. "I'm not that lazy," Evan said. "No, but we know how your brother is," Yuyan said. "I saw his interview, by the way. He looks cool." Evan narrowed his eyes at Yuyan. "You're not developing a crush on my brother, are you? Let me tell you, you don't have a chance at all." "Don't be stupid! My heart only belongs to Junhao, okay?" Yuyan protested. "But I'm not blind. Anyone can see how cool and handsome your brother is. It's honestly a wonder why you look so plain when your brother is like that. Did your parents' genes just give up on you?" Marcus snickered. "Thanks for the compliment," Evan said dryly. Class began soon afterward, and Evan forced himself to focus, taking notes and paying attention as best he could. He hadn't been lazing around at home at all yesterday. Aside from reading up on monsters, Awakeners, and countless other topics, he had also tried to absorb as much class material as possible. Maybe it was because he was inhabiting the other Evan's body, which had already learned these subjects, but he found it relatively easy to recall and understand them. The hours ticked by, and soon a familiar ringing noise echoed through the school, signaling the start of lunch break. Marcus and Yuyan half sprinted toward the cafeteria, with Evan following behind at a more leisurely pace. The spacious dining hall was filled with rows of long tables and attached benches. Along one side stretched a serving counter where students lined up to collect their meals, while groups of classmates filled most of the seats, chatting with friends or staring down at their phones between bites of food. Evan picked a corner that wasn't surrounded by teens and sat down away from the busy serving counter. Not long after, Yuyan was the first to arrive with her lunch. Setting down her tray, Yuyan glanced at the open bento in front of Evan. It was neatly packed with fluffy white rice, glazed teriyaki chicken, rolled tamagoyaki, vegetables, shrimp tempura, and meatballs, with strawberries and mandarin slices tucked into the corner for dessert. "It never ceases to surprise me how much your brother spoils you rotten," Yuyan said. "When did he get the time to make all this?" "He's suspended, so he has plenty of free time now," Evan said. He was admittedly a little shocked when Reid handed him the bento that morning. He knew his brother had been busy in the kitchen the previous night preparing food, but he hadn't expected any of it to be for his lunch. Evan almost wanted to squirm in embarrassment as he opened the box. Unlike the cafeteria meals everyone else was eating, his homemade bento stood out quite a bit. “I’m so jealous,” Yuyan said, glancing between her meal and Evan’s. “Your brother really will make a fine husband. He'll definitely treat his wife right.” “I told you that you don’t have a chance at all,” Evan said, biting into his teriyaki chicken. “Geez, calm down. Didn’t I already tell you that I’m not interested in your brother that way?” Yuyan rolled her eyes. Then she pulled something from her pocket and tossed it at Evan, who caught it at the last moment. Looking at it, he discovered it was a keychain charm featuring a chibi version of Junhao with his signature grin. “What’s this?” Evan asked. "A gift. What else?" Yuyan said, picking up a piece of stir-fried beef with her chopsticks. "Didn't I say I was planning to give you something for saving me?" “You said you changed your mind,” Evan said. “And I...” He recalled the moment he ran away
