Question 3…

Yu Mei leaned back on her seat, thinking about her horoscope today.

Why? Just why? She looked at the ceiling trying to bore her gaze to heaven and glare at the god.

Wasn't I grateful enough? Yeah? Didn't I thank you every morning for making my life peaceful?

Why would you betray me?

"Student Yu, do you have some issues?"

I have. I really have. Yu Mei shook her head, "No issues, Prof." She said instead.

Professor Zhang nodded her head, "Then focus on your question paper and answer sheet. The result of this surprise test will determine where you all will be sitting for the next few months."

Looking at the pouting girl, Professor Zhang adjusted her glass, finding her cute.

She had never interacted with Yu Mei Zhen in the past as the girl did not attend classes from the beginning of the semester since she became their associate Professor.

She had been observing her for the last two days. She appeared to be very different from what the negative rumors said about her. But one couldn't be judged by their looks. She thought to herself and sighed.

Unaware of the Professor's thoughts about her, Yu Mei glanced at the question paper in her hand and then at the answer sheet, thinking whether leaving it blank will be rude or too shameful.

If she knew there will be a surprise test today, then she would've stayed at home on sick leave.

She pursed her lips. Whatever!

'A single question paper can't define me. I am the Master of my own destiny' Thinking as such, she picked up her pen and scribbled whatever came to her mind.

Professor Zhang adjusted her glasses and squinted. The student was looking like a dried flower a moment ago. Where did this sudden boost of energy come from?

''Ah…" Yu Mei slumped on the desk tiredly after all the tests were over.

The previous owner had very confidently chosen the Science Major in the past but she would have never thought that a business major student had to write the papers in her place.

When the noises in the class gradually diminished, she raised her head from the desk and glanced around. The class was empty.

All the students had already left except for Li Shuang who was still sitting at the front desk writing her notes.

Yu Mei stood up from her seat and picked up her bag before taking out her phone. She slung the bag across her shoulder.

Just as she was about to walk past Li Shuang's desk, a guy appeared at the entrance.

Since humans are visual creatures, she took in his apperance first.

Striking red hair with dark eyes, tall and sturdy stature, he could be considered as a nice piece of art.

It was just that after looking at masterpieces like Jun Zixuan and Han Jian Yu every day, every man appeared like an average Joe to her. No offense though!

"Ah Shuang…" The man called out to Li Shuang who was busy with her books.

Yu Mei who had just taken a few paused as her head instinctively veered towards him.

Her eyes widened slightly as his face flashed in her memory. The person standing in front of her was Zhu Boqin, Li Shuang's first boyfriend.

Li Shuang and the previous owner had been very close friends since the high school days. Despite Yu Mei Zhen's scheming nature and everything, Li Shuang had never once broken off their friendship.

They even coincidentally ended up in the same university and same class, making the cold girl, Li Shuang more so happy for having her friend with her.

Later, Zhu Boqin pursued Li Shuang while Yu Mei Zhen was interested in him.

Despite them being in a relationship, Yu Mei Zhen called the guy to an isolated place and confessed to him, almost pouncing on him to get a kiss.

But she never expected all of this to be witnessed by her only true friend, Li Shuang, who from then on acted cold with her like she was with others.

Yu Mei sighed. What a tragic story of love, lust, and betrayal! And friendship too.

But she had nothing to do with it neither did she share any sentiments with Li Shuang.

She had Shi Luo and Jun Zixuan as her friends and they were more than enough for her.

"Boqin, you're here.." Li Shuang, the ever so cold girl smiled..a rare gentle smile it was.

Yu Mei shook her head. This girl really loves her boyfriend. No wonder she hates her so much.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. Since the previous owner pounced on this guy to kiss him, won't it be very embarrassing for her right now?

'It's better to leave now,' She thought to herself and walked ahead, only for the other two people to notice her presence in an instant.

"Yu Mei Zhen?" Zhu Boqin called out in doubt.

Her footsteps came to a halt for a second before she walked ahead without stopping.

"I know it is you. Why are you running away?''

"Am I supposed to stay here?" She turned around to look at him with narrowed eyes.

"You…"

"Do I know you?" Yu Mei then glanced at Li Shuang, ''Don't paint me as an evil vamp when it is your boyfriend who is talking to me first."

Li Shuang gazed at her coldly, "Acting so high and mighty, did you forget who was seducing other's man first? Or are you forgetting how you tried to kiss…''

"What I did 3 years ago has nothing to do with who I am today," interrupted Yu Mei as she spoke in a low voice. She left the classroom as soon she finished speaking.

Zhu Boqin glanced at her retreating back until she was out of sight. Something strange flitted across his deep eyes that did not escape Li Shuang's gaze.

She distanced herself from him, "Why would you talk to her?'' She asked, her gaze remained cold even as she looked at him.
