So, one of those traditions was the parents-teacher meeting. The legacy and headache of PTM should end with high schools but for the students of Imperial University, it was a never-ending disaster.

A month before their final exams, the seniors must go through these hassles to get their parents/legal guardian to the university and there will be a never-ending discussion of the student's achievements, failures, how the student slept in the class, how the student bunked the class, how the attendance fell short and blah blah.

While the class was in an uproar, the two goddesses sitting in the front row were relatively calm.

Two months. Three class tests. But Yu Mei still maintained her second position well and kept sitting beside their Ice Princess. And it successfully changed a part of their opinions of her.

The first time might be a coincidence that she managed to score well but what about the second and third time? In the end, bit by bit, they started to see her in a new light. Not to mention that she was their goddess right now.

From junior to senior, there was almost no one who did not admire her. That too…despite knowing her past reputation.

"Who will come from your side?" Yu Mei glanced at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang shrugged, "No one.''

"Eh?"

''Well, I am an orphan so…" The girl's face remained aloof as she said that but Yu Mei was a bit taken aback.

In fact, despite being friends, the previous owner did not know anything about Li Shuang. While she never asked about her background since she never mentioned it.

''Well.."

''No need to feel sorry,'' Li Shuang said, looking at her expressions. Her lips curved up slightly. She has known Yu Mei Zhen since junior high but these two months felt like she was just getting to know her and for some reason, she felt much closer to her unlike before.

"So, will your father come?" Li Shuang asked her. After all, it was no secret that she was the illegitimate daughter of Yu Family.

And what went in the Yu family was not hidden from Li Shuang who knew the girl from school days.

''Which father you are talking about?'' She clicked her tongue in disdain.

Li Shuang was speechless. Yu Mei's life used to revolve around her family before but right now the mention of Yu Family made her irritated.

''I don't think anyone from the Yu Family would be called."

Since her admission in Imperial University was possible because of Jun Zixuan, then the information register must have taken him or Shen Lihua as her guardian since three years ago, the previous owner had yet to turn 18.

Yu Mei was leaning towards the possibility of her mother-in-law being called given that back then, it must have been her who forced her son to get Yu Mei into this university.

While they talked amicably, their fellow classmates were amazed. It was not a new sight to them, having these two goddesses amicably talking to each other in the past months but they were still surprised.

They remembered how Li Shuang had complained about sitting beside Yu Mei during the first sitting arrangement of the last semester.

How things changed fast between them was still a bit surprising.

While they were discussing it, Zhu Boqin entered the class as he walked towards them. His gaze lingered on Yu Mei a little longer than it should but he quickly glanced at his girlfriend before anyone could notice it, "Ah Shuang…''

A small smile made its way on Li Shuang's cold face as she stood up, ''Boqin…"

He stroked the top of her head for a moment before looking at the other person who has started to pack her bag from the time he entered, "Mei.." He called out to her.

Yu Mei slung her bag over her shoulder as she stood up from her seat, ''I'll appreciate it if you don't act familiar with me.'' She then glanced at Li Shuang, "See you later."

Li Shuang nodded and she left the classroom without looking back at them.

As Yu Mei walked towards the cafeteria, Mia's voice rang in her mind, "Since you and Li Shuang are friends now, why'd you ignore her boyfriend?" came her curious question.

The fox has insisted to stay in her body and idle around today rather than following up on her studies.

It was true that Li Shuang and her were kind of good friends now, after the incident where she took her to her apartment when she was drunk. But as close as they were… "I'm not comfortable around that guy,'' She answered.

The way that person looked at her gave her an urge to kick him in the face at times.

"You're only comfortable around one guy. Humph!" Mia scoffed before cutting off their connection.

Yu Mei paused in her tracks for a moment before she continued walking.

As soon as walked inside the cafeteria, she noticed how busy the place was. Probably, because of the PTM, the senior year students were in an uproar today, crowding everywhere.

Not seeing a free table, she turned around to leave.

''Senior, please come here.''

''Classmate, you can sit here in my place.''

''I'm already done. Please take a seat here…"

Yu Mei paused in her tracks and turned around to find the guys who were offering her their seats.

''No need. I am fine. Thank you…" She did not know any one of them. These kids were kind enough to offer her a seat but she didn't feel it was right to accept it.

After all, there was a long queue here and after the thirty minutes interval is over, PTM will start and they won't get a chance to eat.

''Senior, please take a seat. We will feel bad if you stay hungry," They even cleared up a whole table for her since they have always seen her eating alone.

Not being able to reject their kindness, she shook her head, "You guys are so sweet,'' the corner of her lips tilted up as as dimples appeared on her cheeks.

All of them blushed looking at her as they cleared the path. She quickly ordered her meal and surprisingly her food was served fast as usual.

After filling up her stomach properly, she checked the time on her wristwatch.

There were only 10 minutes left for the PTM to start. According to Professor Zhang, all the parents and guardians have been called by the university staff and are asked to attend the meeting.

She was more inclined to believe that Shen Lihua must have been her guardian in the documents, but given her health condition, she might not come. While there were lesser chances of Jun Zixuan being her guardian logically but even if he was, he might not come at all after what happened between them.

Lost in her thoughts, she was walking towards the classroom when her footsteps came to a sudden halt, noticing a familiar back.

Hands tucked inside pocket, the ever so familiar impatient tapping of the leather boot on the floor. Slim-fit black tuxedo highlighted his muscular back while the man's attention was focused on his phone. His other hand was raised near his head as his slender finger weaved through his golden ash-blonde hair.

A familiar back indeed!
