"Sister Ri! Wait!"
Li Yuri raised her brows as she looked back to see a girl coming her way. She stopped and pondered deeply.
But she didn't seem to know this girl at all.
"Sister Ri, I-I'm Bunny Susu; I mean Qian Su from Class 1-5!!"
Qian Su saw through her hesitation and exclaimed excitedly while squeezing her bunny ears.
Li Yuri glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Hi. I'm Li Yuri, from Class 1-2."
Qian Su blushed, "Sister Ri, you're much more beautiful than in your photos! You're more beautiful than our ex-School Belle and on par with Queen Feng!"
"..Ex-school Belle?" Li Yuri was perplexed.
"Yes, you don't know that Queen Feng is now our School Belle and Sister Li is.."
"Oh I didn't know that." Li Yuri was greatly astounded with the piece of shocking news.
She dazedly bit the straw. Qian Su seemed to have found her friend so she smiled and bid goodbye to her.
Li Yuri squeezed the carton before proceeding to walk ahead.
She kept her bicycle in the parking area and slung her bag on her shoulder as she went to her class.
On the way, she greeted others fellow students whom she was acquainted with. She then entered her class.
She was right on time today so half of the class was already filled. Mo Xuanji lazily looked at her and smiled, "Good morning~"
She greeted back. Mo Xuanji continued meaningfully, "Don't take the rumors to heart, they aren't true."
"..Oh."
Li Yuri knew that she was just consoling her because she already knew that the rumors were true.
Sis Feng hadn't arrived yet. So the desk beside her was empty.
She took out her phone from her bag and scrolled through the forum. A post caught her eyes.
[Searching for this black hoodie girl from Rainbow Park in XX Road! Fellow brothers and sisters, help us find this girl for our boss!]
She had a bad feeling when she saw this..
Along with the post was an attached photo and that figure.. Looked familiar..
Her eyes fell on the skateboard. Though the photo was not clear, she saw the big initials 'LY' and she blinked..
It wasn't just familiar..
This person was herself..
She had spent quite a lot to get the skateboard customized with her initials, so she was sure that this was herself..
But why did they post this in her school's forum?
Could it be.. That rainbow-head was from Kingdom High?!
Was he trying to find her so that he could take revenge on her for beating him up last night?
She shuddered.
Though she could easily beat that guy up if he came to her, Li Yuri wouldn't be able to win if he crushed her to death with money or arranged a group of thugs to teach her a lesson..
However, she felt slightly relieved.
'They won't be able to find me even if they dig up the whole school! My face wasn't captured on the picture so it won't matter!'
With that, she sighed in relief.
She was afraid that her cute persona in front of Bro Shan will crumble once it was exposed that the girl was her..
Meanwhile, a face popped out of nowhere before her eyes.
Li Yuri got so startled that she instinctively attacked but her small fist was caught by the person.
She raised her head in surprise and saw an annoying face as she ordered while pulling her hand back, "Min, let go of my hand!"
Tang Min smiled as he watched her struggling.
He tightened his grip on her fair hand and smirked, "See, I'm much stronger than you, kiddo. Learn from me."
"Let go."
This time, it wasn't Li Yuri who said that, but two voices ringing from behind.
Li Yuri and Tang Min turned back to see.. Lu Jeongshan and Qi Feng standing by the door.
Tang Min raised his brows at the two people, "You both are coming in together? I see, the power couple of our school, huh."
Li Yuri pursed her lips and her eyes dimmed.
Before she could say something, Lu Jeongshan dragged Tang Min away while Qi Feng came to her.
"Good morning." She casually greeted her.
Li Yuri blinked and fervently greeted back, "..Good morning, Sis Feng!"
Meanwhile.
Lu Jeongshan dragged Tang Min by his collar to the hallway. He coldly glared at him, "What did you say just now?"
Tang Min had his usual annoying smile on his face, "Power couple? Isn't that true? After all, you two are officially getting engaged-"
*Pa*
He dodged the incoming fist with an astounded look in his face.
"Wow, Bro Shan, why are you getting so worked up all of a sudden? I was just speaking the truth."
Lu Jeongshan gritted his teeth, "Liu Tang Min, should I expose your real identity to her huh?"
Tang Min froze. He seemed agitated and his eyes turned icy as he charged towards him, "Don't you dare, Lu Jeong Shan!!"
The two engaged in a violent fight as the crowd increased.
They surrounded the duo from far, afraid that something will happen to them if they went close to them.
Li Yuri naturally heard the ruckus outside and creased her brows.
At this time, someone came inside the class and shouted, "Oh my gosh, Bro Shan and Tang Min are fighting!"
Hearing that, her gaze changed as she rushed outside. The others also followed her out and they saw a large crowd.
All of them squeezed through to the centre and saw two figures entangled in a big fight.
Mo Xuanji realized the graveness of the situation and went to call a teacher, while Li Yuri and others tried to stop the fight.
Li Yuri wanted to go near them but Qi Feng stopped her, "It's too dangerous, don't go."
"If this continues, they'll severely injure themselves! I need to intervene!" Li Yuri refuted her and walked to the centre.
Lu Jeongshan, who was being punched, noticed her and his facial expression abruptly changed.
"Li Yuri, go away! Don't come near!"
Tang Min, who had his back facing the crowd, paused as he smirked while punching him hard.
"Do you think I'll stop because you're taking her name?!"
Lu Jeongshan took the full blow as he anxiously looked at the girl who was nearing them, "Don't come near!"
Li Yuri looked at his bruised handsome face and pursed her lips. Her mind blanked out.
She approached Tang Min and tried to separate him from Lu Jeongshan, "Min-"
The moment her hand touched him, she was flung away as Tang Min pushed her away, "Go away.."
Li Yuri fell on the floor with the strong push and her eyes widened in disbelief. Her hand was bleeding but she only felt numb.
It was so painful but more than the physical pain, the mental shock that she got was far greater.
She could never guess that she would be flung away by her own best friend, who didn't even dare lay a finger on her before.
