"Mi Er, your breakfast is set," her Nanny informed her the moment Yang Mi entered the sitting room.

"I will only eat when my mum and godmother come downstairs for breakfast," Yang Mi said carefreely before she lied down on the couch with her cellphone in her hand.

​​

"But Young Miss instructed we should always make sure you have your breakfast on time," the Nanny said sternly.

"I won't eat so, just stop trying to make me change my mind because it won't work," Yang Mi said vehemently before she started playing with her phone.

Yang Mi, afraid that her maids might be spying on her messaged Li Chen instead of calling him like she wanted to. She was scared her maids might report this to her elder sister.

"Chen Chen, can we meet later?" Yang Mi sent the message as she eagerly waited for Li Chen's reply. His responses only came ten minutes later after Yang Mi had given up hopes on receiving his reply.

"Didn't we just meet yesterday? Why do you want us to meet again today? Don't tell me you miss me already?" Yang Mi read Li Chen's message while giggling to herself.

"I was planning to give you a very special gift but it's ok if you are tired of seeing my face but I promise you will regret not receiving the gifts from me," Yang Mi texted back.

"I know you were definitely frowning when you sent me that last message so I order you to shed off that frown now and put on your sweetest smile because that suits you better," Li Chen lying on his bed with only a towel tied around his waist texted back while rolling on his bed.

"Mi Er, what naughty thoughts were you having that you won't even reply? Of course, I would love to meet you. I was just kidding around so stop ignoring your best buddy," Li Chen's message turned to a pleading one.

"Do you think I am seriously angry with you?" Yang Mi chatted back as she sent him a smiling emoji after her text message.

Yang Mi and Li Chen continued to text for a long time. Maids who passed by and saw her so engrossed on her cellphone thought she was playing her usual game not knowing that there was more to that.

While chatting with her best buddy, Yang Mi lost track of time. She did not even feel it when Yang Zi and Qing Shui were standing right at the back of the couch she was lying on.

"Mi Er, who are you seriously texting? You didn't even hear me when I called you," Yang Zi said, as she touched her hand to bring her back to her senses. Out of fear, the phone in Yang Mi's hands fell on the couch. She quickly sat up as she tried to compose herself.

"Why do you look startled? Were you doing something wrong?" Qing Shui asked as they both turned around and took their seat beside Yang Mi.

"Sorry mum, I was on the phone, I did not hear you and godmother I wasn't doing anything wrong. Mi Er is a good girl, she would never do anything to make mum and godmother upset," Yang Mi said, as she stylishly tried to lay on Yang Zi's lap but Yang Zi did not let her.

"Are you sure you weren't doing something wrong before we arrived?" Yang Zi asked as she threw Yang Mi a suspicious glance.

"I wasn't doing anything wrong," Yang Mi said seriously.

"Ok, I will let it slide," Yang Zi said firmly as she patted Yang Mi's hair.

"Mi Er, there is something I want to tell you but we will talk after having our breakfast," Yang Zi said as she stood up and carried Yang Mi on her body. The three all went to the dining table.

After they finished eating and relaxed for a little, Yang Zi revealed her plans to leave to Yang Mi. Like the smart girl that she was, she acted as though she did not hear anything about it before. Yang Zi was so happy that Yang Mi did not have a problem with them leaving.

Yang Mi left Yang Zi, Qing Shui and Shiyi who just arrived to talk while she went to her practice room to play her violin. She was too engrossed in the piece she was working on to realise when Yang Zi came upstairs to check up on her.

She only realised that they had left when she went downstairs to get a cup of water for herself.

"Now that I have finished my parting gift for Chen Chen, I guess it is time for me to call him. I need to see him before Sister Zi Er comes back," Yang Mi mumbled before she raced upstairs.

Wearing a very beautiful gown that morning, she did not need to change her clothes. She just arranged her hair, packaged her gift before she rushed downstairs to meet up with her guest.

When Yang Mi reached the venue of their meeting, she was surprised when she saw that Li Chen had already ordered all her favourite dishes.

While eating, Yang Mi kept on stealing secret glances at him. He caught her on several occasions doing that but he did not speak a word about it.

"Mi Er, you have been staring at me secretly for a while now. Is there perhaps something on my face?" Li Chen asked as he touched his face.

"I just realised that you look very handsome. Would you believe me if I say that you look even more handsome when you smile?" Yang Mi asked, staring at his face.

"Did you perhaps think I was ugly before?" Li Chen asked pretending to be offended.

"Hmmm...," Yang Mi trailed, as she resisted the urge to smile. Seeing Li Chen's frowning face almost made her give herself away.

"Hey, does that mean you thought I was ugly?" Li Chen asked unhappily.

"You have always been handsome. In fact, there is no day you don't look handsome. Are you satisfied with that?" Yang Mi asked playfully before she burst into a peal of deafening laughter. Seeing her laugh so heartily made Li Chen who was pretending to be angry laugh along with her.

I am so happy to see her smile so often. I guess I should be hanging out with her more often so I can make her smile.

Li Chen thought as he stared at the smiling Yang Mi.

"Of course, I am satisfied with that. I am the hottest boy and also the most popular boy in my school so I didn't believe that my buddy did not find me handsome," Li Chen said proudly.

"Just wait until I am your age. I will become even prettier just like Sister Zi Er. Anywhere you see me, you will be blown off your feet at that time," Yang Mi said sounding jealous.

"You are already pretty right now so, you don't have to wait to become prettier when you are older. The only problem you have is that you are underdeveloped," Li Chen said beaming.

"Chen Chen...," Yang Mi said as she covered her flat chest.

"Stop teasing me or I will leave you here," Yang Mi said, faking a displeased look.

Li Chen and Yang Mi continued talking while eating. They did more talking than eating. After so many minutes of talking, it was now time to bid farewell.

"Chen Chen, these are the gifts I prepared for you. I put a lot of efforts into it so I am sure you will love it," Yang Mi said, as she passed Li Chen a big white shopping bag containing about four different neatly wrapped gift boxes.

"I have always loved your gifts I am sure I will also love these too. Thanks, Mi Er," Li Chen said, as he collected the gift box from her.

"You don't have to thank...,"

"This is my gift to you too," Li Chen said as he brought out a shopping bag he had hidden under the table. He handed it over to her.

"When you told me that you had a gift for me, I immediately went to the mall in search of what gift to give you. After so many minutes of searching, I finally found something you would love," Li Chen added smiling.

"Chen Chen has always been considerate. I am not surprised to hear the trouble you went through just to get me this gift. Don't worry I will definitely cherish them," Yang Mi said as she hugged the shopping bag tightly to herself.

"You don't have to cherish it. It's not anything special...,"

"Even though it is something common of course, it will still be special to me since it was given to me by my best buddy," Yang Mi interrupted abruptly. Their table went silent after Yang Mi's last sentence.

"Chen Chen, thank you so much for always putting up with my noisiness and naughtiness. Thank you for stooping so low to reduce your standard to mine. I am grateful for having you as my best friend," Yang Mi said emotionally.
