Next morning, at Li Yuri's Room.
Li Yuri was sleeping like a log.
She was drooling while dreaming of her Brother Em. In her dream, she was chasing after Brother Em.
She mumbled while moving her legs and hands in the air, "Brother Em, wait for me.. Your girl is coming.."
The moment she said 'coming', *bang* she fell on the floor along with her blanket and abruptly woke up.
She dazedly sat up as she yawned sleepily. She lazily turned her head to look at the alarm and her eyes widened in shock.
'Oh I'm gonna be late for school!!!'
Dashing to the bathroom, she freshened herself up in the speed of lightening as she quickly put on her school uniform and tied her long hair into a ponytail.
She then quickly ran downstairs, found out that there was no one else in the house and sighed in relief.
She then took a slice of bread and a carton of milk before hurrying outside along with her bag.
Li Yuri put the bread on her mouth, the milk in her bag as she quickly took her bicycle and rushed towards the school.

Class 1-2
Li Yuri leaned against the wall as she panted and wiped the sweat on her forehead. 'Thank god, the bell hasn't rung yet..'
She slowly walked inside and abruptly spotted a familiar figure and her eyes lit up. "Bro Shan, you finally came.."
But before she could approach him, she felt a chill run down her spine when her eyes met those icy ones. 'This..'
Li Yuri blinked as she turned around and immediately changed her direction. 'Forget it, Bro Shan seems to be in a gloomy mood..'
Sitting on her designated desk, she greeted Qi Feng, "Good morning, Sis Feng.."
The latter looked quite unapproachable today but still replied back to her, "Good morning."
Li Yuri glanced at the uniform she was wearing and exclaimed with a smile, "Oh, you got your uniform today! You look so pretty in it!".
Qi Feng looked slightly dazed and distracted as she replied, "Mmh."
"..."
Li Yuri kindly chose not to disturb her anymore as she turned to the side and looked at Mo Xuanji, who was sleeping lazily.
"Sis Xuan, how did you celebrate your test score? My mom treated me to chicken last night!" She grinned cheerfully as she asked.
Mo Xuanji turned stiff when she heard her question. She hoarsely spoke, "Yuri, I'm not feeling well today.."
"Oh, then rest well.." Li Yuri said as she turned to Tang Min, "Can I come over today to play games in your computer??"
The latter wasn't his usual cheery self today as he expressionlessly blurted out, "No."
Li Yuri's eyes darkened but the smile still remained. "Oh I see" She then turned back to Su Lan, who was sulking and took out the carton of milk as she asked.
"Sis Lan, you're not doodling today?"
Su Lan lifted her head but then focused on the book as she muttered absent-mindedly, "Mom said doodling is distracting me from studies.."
"Oh." Li Yuri couldn't help the corner of her lips from curling down as she straightened her back and looked down at the carton of milk.
Slightly clenching the carton in milk in her hands, she bit her lips and kept silent.
Only after the bell rang and Mr. Gong came, did Li Yuri toss the milk under her desk and stand up.
"Greet the teacher."
"Good morning, Teacher Gong!"
...
Rooftop.
Lu Jeongshan pursed his lips as he coldly looked down at the girl in front of him, "Don't block my way."
Qi Feng lifted her head and said expressionlessly as she looked at Li Yuri, who was sitting far in the distance while dazedly drinking her milk, "She's your girlfriend, right?"
Lu Jeongshan followed her line of sight and frowned slightly as he spoke without changing his neutral expression, "Yes."
Qi Feng leaned against the railing and coolly asked, "Then why don't you talk to your Dad? Maybe, he'll break off the engagement.."
Lu Jeongshan put his hands in his pocket as he said word by word, "None of your business."
Qi Feng smirked coldly, "None of my business? This engagement concerns me, so how is it not my business?"
Lu Jeongshan fell silent before he turned around and said before leaving, "He won't."
Qi Feng watched him leave and chuckled coldly as she murmured to herself, "Sure, after all, our fathers are birds of the same feather.."
She then also walked away..

Meanwhile, at the side where Li Yuri was sitting.
Li Yuri stared at the two figures far away in daze as she drank the milk, when she suddenly heard voices beside her.
"Wow, look at that! Did you see Prince Charming Lu and the girl! They looked so good together!"
A girl with small hair exclaimed excitedly to her friend.
"I know right!" Her friend asked curiously, "Who was that girl? I don't think I've seen her before.."
The small-haired girl turned to Yuri and asked with anticipation, "Hey, Yuri, do you know that ash-colored girl, who was with Prince Lu earlier?!"
Li Yuri blinked and nodded her head as she replied, "Yes.. She's the new transfer student, Qi Feng.."
The small-haired girl turned to her friend and said, "She's the new transferee girl everyone's been talking about!"
The friend was extremely clueless, "Oh how come I didn't know! When did she transfer here?! Even from far, I can feel that she's definitely a beauty!"
The small-haired girl said while clasping her hands tightly, "She just came here yesterday. You must not know but this Qi Feng is from an extremely powerful and rich family which can match up to the Prince Lu's Lu Family! And yes, she's a beauty!"
The friend excitedly squirmed, "So that means that we got a new goddess to ship with our Prince Lu?! Aw, they make such a good couple!"
Beside them, Li Yuri, who overhead this, immediately spat out her milk, "Pftt!" She coughed hard.
She then agitatedly yelled at the two, "What nonsense are you talking about! They're not dating!"
The small-haired girl rolled her eyes as she said, "What if they aren't dating right now!"
Her eyes sparkled, "They'll surely date in the future since they are so well-matched!"
Li Yuri instantly broke out into another coughing fit: "..."
Suddenly, a slender hand extended and gently patted her back.
The two friends froze and even Li Yuri, whose face had become red after coughing, froze.
"Are you ok?"
Lu Jeongshan expressionlessly asked, but hidden deeply in those pair of cold eyes, was a tinge of worry..
