- Tang Min's room.
"Wow, when did you buy this computer??" Li Yuri's eyes sparkled as she caressed the brand new computer on the desk with admiration on her face.
Tang Min looked at her and silently said, "I bought it when I went to Korea for vacation. If you want, you can play games."
Li Yuri glanced at him with a wide grin, "Really?? Woah, Bro Min, you're so kind~"
She then sat down on the armchair as she excitedly turned on the computer and started playing games.
"This is so cool~ Bro Min, can I come to your house to play games??" Li Yuri asked eagerly. Tang Min slowly nodded his head.
"Oh then I'll drop by frequently!" Her smile brightened as she said.
Tang Min didn't say anything as he watched her smile and his lips involuntarily lifted up. "As you wish."

- Downstairs.
Tang Mingyu scribbled on the paper as he glanced at Li Yuxi out of the corner of his eyes. He then scratched his head as he pushed the paper towards her.
Li Yuxi looked at the paper and then at him questioningly, "What is it, Yuyu??" Tang Mingyu quietly stuffed the paper in her arms.
"?" Li Yuxi looked down at the paper and blinked as she smiled at Tang Mingyu, "This is me??"
"Yes." Tang Mingyu nodded his head and then added, "Very ugly like you."
Li Yuxi: "..."
She silently kept the paper away as she continued doing her work. Tang Mingyu looked at her and pursed his lips, "Xixi, let's go and play!"
Li Yuxi face-palmed as she said stonily, "Yuyu, you failed in your test, how about I tell Auntie about it?"
Tang Mingyu immediately panicked, "No, no, Xixi! You can't tell Mom! She'll never let me play if you tell her that I failed the test!"
A cold voice came from behind them, "What did you say? You failed the test?"
Tang Mingyu and Li Yuxi froze. 'Speak of the devil!'
At this time, Tang Min and Li Yuri came down. Li Yuri cheerfully greeted Tang Meiqi (Tang Min's mom). "Auntie Tang!"
Tang Meiqi's strict face instantly softened when she turned to Li Yuri as she smiled gently, "Yuri! You're also here! Your mom and I were just talking about you two earlier!"
Li Yuri ran downstairs as she grinned, "Auntie Tang, I'm hungry! How about you cook my favorite steamed buns for me??"
Tang Meiqi nodded her head as she said, "I'll go make them right away!" She gave a last glare at Tang Mingyu before heading to the kitchen.
Li Yuri immediately rushed towards Tang Mingyu and rubbed his head, "You owe me a favor, Little Yuyu!"
Tang Mingyu smiled at her, "Thank you so much, Sis Riri!"
Tang Min said, spoiling the atmosphere, "Once you leave, he'll have to face Mom's wrath though."
Li Yuri rolled her eyes.

-Mo Residence
Mo Xuanji switched off her phone after she hung up the call from Li Yuran. She was deep in thought, when someone knocked the door of her room.
She immediately stuffed the phone in the drawer and locked it. She then opened a random book and flipped to the middle.
After calming herself down, she said softly, "Come in."
The door opened and a woman, with similar features like her, walked in. Wen Anxia looked at her daughter studying and her smile instantly broadened.
She patted her head as she praised.
"Aiya Xuanji, Mommy is very happy to see you diligently studying! If you keep this up, you can get admitted to Beijing University, just like your elder sister!"
Mo Xuanji forced a smile on her face as she nodded her head. Wen Anxia was satisfied by her and said, "Then I won't trouble you anymore!"
She then left and locked the door.
Mo Xuanji blanked out as she caressed her head with mixed emotions in her face. Like your elder sister...
Mo Xuanji's lips quivered. She really hated this phrase. Ever since she was born, everyone around her, compared her to her elder sister, Mo Jian.
No matter what she did, her father and mother would always say things like "your elder sister this" and "your elder sister that". Every single topic ended with Mo Jian's name.
She bitterly smiled. Perhaps, she'd really have to live in Mo Jian's shadow for the rest of her life.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she looked at the notebook on her desk. She recollected herself as she started practicing the questions.

Time passed by.
And a week had already gone by in the blink of an eye.
Li Yuri stared at the empty seat beside her and sighed. "Bro Shan is absent today as well!" She pouted.
Mo Xuanji saw her gloomy state and gently consoled her, "Don't worry, he must've something to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't skip classes."
Tang Min walked in and saw them taking. He sat down beside Li Yuri. The latter glared at him, "Why are sitting here?! This is Bro Shan's seat!"
Tang Min rolled his eyes, "He won't come today as well." Li Yuri sneered, "How do you know that? Are you his mother?!"
Tang Min: "..."
He suddenly smirked, "If you don't let me sit here, I won't let you play my computer next time!"
"You!" Li Yuri bit her lips as she spat, "Fine, do as you wish! But if Bro Shan comes, you'd have to sit with Xuanji!"
Tang Min didn't say anything. Mo Xuanji looked at the both of them and sighed, shaking her head. She then walked towards her own seat.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed excitedly, "There is a new transfer student in our class! I heard that it's a girl!"
