Gu Zhang was in the office when his phone buzzed. He picked up the phone and before he could say anything, he heard Xingren's sobbing voice from the other side.

" Xin Xin, what happened? Why are you crying like this? Did someone said anything to you?" He asked, worried at her calling him while crying.

Xingren sniffled and said, " Dad, I...can't take this anymore. Xu Nuan...she-

" Xu Nuan? What did she do this time?" He asked with an exasperated sigh.

" She has chosen my department as her major. I don't understand why can't she leave me alone? Despite my several attempts, she continues to hate me and now she has even come to my college."

" She even talked to me rudely in front of my friend. She didn't even acknowledge me as her sister, what can I expect from her? I am afraid that just like Grandfather, she will do the same. Dad, if everyone finds out that I am not a Gu and just an orphan, I won't be able to attend this college." she sniffled while explaining to him all this.

" I don't want to be humiliated for something that I didn't even do. Was it my fault that we got exchanged? It's not like I wanted all of this to happen?" She said with a weak voice.

She was indeed innocent. When this has already happened, what is the need for all of this to be fixed? Can't they just live as they were living till now? Everything was fine and happy.

Gu Zhang felt guilty upon hearing her words. It was not her fault yet she was being blamed by the Old Gu for something like this.

" Xingren, what can I do? You know that girl, she isn't even listening to her grandmother or mother, let alone me. Didn't you see how she behaved a few days ago when we talked?" he sighed while removing his round metal, thin-framed golden glasses from his nose.

" Dad, so are you not gonna do anything about how she entered college? If someone finds out that the daughter of the Gu family cheated to take the scholarship, people will loathe you for not looking after her and teaching her anything."

" She came from an orphanage, there was no one to teach her right or wrong. You can't give up on her like this," she said while waiting for his response.

Gu Zhang went silent. Thinking about her words, it does seem to be right. It will be only him who will be blamed in the end and not Xu Nuan.

" Okay, I'll see what I can do. For now, don't worry and study hard. Don't think about all that stuff."

Xingren nodded and hung up the phone. She looked at her phone and smiled, " Xu Nuan, do you think you deserve to be in the same space as me? I lost my apartment to you, but I won't lose this scholarship. It was mine, I worked hard for it. I won't let you get away with it so easily."

After the class ended, Xu Nuan went to the office since she still needs to earn her living. The music video was bombing the internet and the girls were going higher and higher on the charts.

Not only that, because of their sudden success, the number of reality shows offered has skyrocketed. Thanks to this, she was barely getting any spare time for herself.

" I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing for me that they're doing this well," she muttered and sighed while going through the offers and short-listing them for the girls to see.

Unlike other managers, she likes to give a certain amount of freedom to her artists. She doesn't want to make their debut period a hell but wants them to work hard and enjoy this feeling, the feeling to be loved.

She doesn't want them to turn into another Queens, she doesn't want them to be destroyed the way they got.

-

A week passed in a blink as she juggled between college and office work. After the first day, Xingren didn't talk with her, and both parted ways after their classes.

Xu Nuan also didn't get any time to mingle with others as she needed to take calls from the directors or their assistants to discuss the work.

It was finally the day she was thinking hard about. Saturday, the day she promised Han Zihao to take him somewhere with her.

~Ring, Rinngggg~

" Arghh, why is it morning already?" she groaned when her alarm went off. Annoyed, she put it off and checked the time. It was five in the morning.

She stared at the white ceiling above her in a daze, remembering what day it was.

She stayed silent for a while, staring at nowhere. This was the most hateful day of her life, or say...most regrettable day.

And the most arduous task is to smile on this day because she doesn't want to make it depressing for everyone. She is not allowed to do so.

" Let's go Xu Nuan, you have things to do." she sighed and pulled herself off the bed to get on work.

After brushing her teeth, she went straight to the kitchen. Yes, Kitchen.

Today she was going to attempt something she has never done. Make breakfast.

She looked around and realized how empty and spotlessly clean her kitchen is. It was because she has never made anything. She always used the microwave to heat the delivery food or made instant noodles, that was all.

Although she bought some utensils and stuff to cook some time ago, she never used them. They were as useless as her single earring, whose other one has been lost and still keeping it safe, hoping to find it soon enough.

" Let's do this Xu Nuan, you can do this. Since I am now in Xu Nuan's body, this body must have remembered her cooking skills, right?" she muttered and opened her fridge to bring out bread, mayonnaise, and some vegetables. Thankfully she bought all the ingredients she needed yesterday to do the cooking.

Now she only needs to cook. Simple.

-

"Let's go safe and make a sandwich."

" Should I make some fried eggs to go with as well? Or egg fried rice?" she wondered.

Without wasting any time, she put the pan on the stove and put some oil on it. " Now I just have to carefully crack it and dump it in the middle, that's it." She clasped her hands and picked up the egg to make a fried egg.

Everything was well planned…..However.

" Why is this happening to me?" she cried in dismay seeing two of her eggs who lost their lives before they could make it to the center of the pan. She cracked them 'carefully' against the edge of the pan but every time they got severely wounded and couldn't make it to the destination.

Looking at her messy kitchen, that too when she didn't even make anything, she sighed and facepalmed herself, " Jiang Yue, you're worse than anyone. Even Xu Nuan's body can't help you in cooking." she sighed deeply, thinking what to do next.

She sighed thankfully that she didn't try to make egg-fried rice. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
