Li Yuri's eyes dimmed as they wavered. She bit her lips tightly at the sudden realization.
When they lined up, Bro Shan didn't stand up until Sis Feng did..
A shocking thought came to her mind.
Could it be that Bro Shan treated her well because of Sis Feng?
That's right..
Bro Shan indeed started treating her differently after Qi Feng came to their school..
So all her thoughts were just wishful thinking from her side, huh..
'Ha, I knew it. I'm so stupid and hopeless.. Bro Shan would obviously like a perfect girl like Sis Feng, right? He'd never like someone like me..'
Li Yuri didn't know why but her heart ached miserably as she pouted.
'Aish, I'm so childish.. Why do I even fantasize when I'm bound to be hurt again?'
She helplessly stared at the picture of Bro Shan standing behind Qi Feng, as if he was announcing his sovereignty over her..
She couldn't help but feel more and more upset.
'Ugh, I'm such a fool..'
Maybe it was because lately Bro Shan treated her quite well that she ended up having high hopes again..
'Argh, I hate this!!' Li Yuri thought as she banged her head on her desk exasperatedly.
Qi Feng heard her head banging and was so startled that she accidentally drew an arc while writing. She blankly looked over to her side.
What happened to this foolish deskmate of hers? Why is she upset all of a sudden?
'Maybe she didn't like the autograph?' Thinking about that, Qi Feng put down her pen and took out her phone as she sent a message:
[Do you have your latest album left?]
Qi Tang replied quickly: [No, they're sold out. Why?]
[Nothing.]
Qi Tang quickly typed: [I do have some exclusive album left. How about I send it over?]
Qi Feng looked at the desolated Li Yuri beside her and texted back: [Ok.]
...
Meanwhile. In the rooftop.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Tang Min asked arrogantly.
Lu Jeongshan glanced at him meaningfully, "You really don't know?"
Tang Min knew what he was talking about but acted clueless about it.
"What are you saying? Why don't I understand anything?"
Lu Jeongshan bluntly said, "Because you're an idiot."
"...Fine, I admit I know! Don't call me an idiot! You're talking about Yuri, right?"
Lu 'Blunt' Jeongshan: "You finally grew some brain."
"..."
Tang Min felt that this guy was truly too hateful.
He took a deep breath, "Don't call me stupid! I'm a genius alright!"
Lu Jeongshan: "A genius who scores dead last in his class?"
K.O!
Tang Min nearly puked blood: "...!!!"
He angrily roared, "LU. JEONG. SHAN!"
Lu Jeongshan suppressed his laughter as he spoke seriously, "Let's talk business."
Tang Min scoffed.
Lu Jeongshan indifferently looked at him and said in a low voice, "..Stay away from her."
Tang Min's eyes flickered as he coldly sniggered. "What if I don't?"
Lu Jeongshan revealed a smile but Tang Min felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that smile.
He couldn't help but anticipate Lu Jeongshan's answer.
"Then.. Don't blame me for being ruthless." He slowly spoke as he turned to leave.
Tang Min stopped him, his expression was unusually firm.
"I won't back down no matter what! I've grown up with her and I know her better than you do!"
Lu Jeongshan smirked, "So what?"
Tang Min staggered as he froze.
So what?
His voice was so confident that he couldn't help but feel his heart wavering.
Exactly.
So what?
What if he knew her more than Lu Jeongshan?
At the end of the day, she'd still like this guy!
And he would just be her friend at most..
Wait.
He raised his head in disbelief. Does this guy know that Li Yuri likes him?
Lu Jeongshan didn't notice his suspicions. "So what? She'll only be mine.."
He looked over at Tang Min coldly and added, "...Even if she likes you."
"?!" The latter was stunned.
This guy thinks that.. Yuri likes him when she clearly..
His mouth twitched involuntarily but his eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
Then.. Won't he be winning in this devil's eyes?
Lu 'Devil' Jeongshan: "So stay away from her."
Tang 'Winner' Min puffed up his chest as he proudly boasted: "I won't! What can you do to me? Yuri likes me more than you!"
A gust of cool breeze blew and he couldn't help but shiver, looking at the devil's darkened face. His legs turned jelly, 'Did I go overboard?'
"Hmph!"
Lu Jeongshan left in anger, leaving a relieved Tang Min behind..
...
After School.
Li Yuri was packing her bag while Mo Xuanji sat on the desk, eating chocolates and also feeding her.
"Yuri, what happened to you? Why are you so sad today?"
Li Yuri bit the chocolate with a lost expression, "It's nothing.."
Su Lan sighed as she also ate chocolates, "It must be because Brother Em left too early.. I feel you, Yuri.."
Qi Feng silently took out a bunch of chocolates from her desk and gave it to Li Yuri, "Here."
"?"
As she looked down at the chocolates, Li Yuri was dumbfounded. Su Lan and Mo Xuanji were also stumped for words.
Su Lan spoke with another sigh, "This must be the chocolates from those boys, who are chasing after Sis Feng.."
Mo Xuanji also sighed as she softly chimed in, "What a perk of being beautiful.."
Qi Feng blinked as she didn't know what they were talking about. "Do you both want some too?"
"..." The duo were speechless.
Li Yuri was used to being spoiled by Qi Feng so she just took it and unwrapped one before eating.
Immediately, her eyes curved into crescent as the chocolate melted in her mouth. She cheerfully asked, "Sis Feng, why is this so delicious?"
Qi Feng looked down at the brand and realized that it was the chocolate Qi Tang had given her once, but she didn't like sweets so she gave it to her.
She slowly asked curiously, "Do you like it?"
Li Yuri nodded her head adorably as she bit another piece, "Yes!"
Qi Feng smiled, "Then I'll buy this for you next time."
Li Yuri scratched her head, "Is this an expensive brand? I haven't seen this brand of chocolate before."
"No, there is a shop selling this near my house. It's a new and unknown brand. It's very cheap." Qi Feng nonchalantly replied.
"Oh I see!" Li Yuri didn't doubt her words at all. She happily ate the sweet as she slung the bag on her shoulder. "Let's go!"
At the side, Su Lan couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard Qi Feng's words..
There was no shop near Feng'huang Area though, only estates and mansions..
Mo Xuanji's eyelids twitched as she lowered her head and looked carefully at the brand.
She had seen this brand before and knew that this was the famous brand who only produced near 100 packages a year..
So even one piece was inexplicably expensive.
She couldn't help but stumble in her steps. New and unknown brand, huh.. Very cheap huh..
So cheap that she couldn't afford even one piece even if she was rich..
"You four are taking too much time!" Tang Min, who was leaning against the door, complained as he looked at his watch.
Li Yuri rolled her eyes as she suddenly stopped in her trackswhen she noticed a certain someone was missing.
"Where is Bro Shan?"
Tang Min smiled mysteriously, "Having love affair in campus."
