15 'Can She Really Not Do It?'

Song Lin gritted her teeth as she kept silent. Li Yu Ri raised her brows as she provoked her willingly, "What? Are you provoked? You wanna throw money at my face again? Sure! But I must tell you that I'll throw your money back at you! I don't want someone else's money!"

Song Lin finally lost her cool, "You! Just you wait, You and your trashy class-" Before she could continue, Sheng Hi Fan interrupted, "Xiao Lin, let's just go! There's no need to start a fight!" Song Lin was infuriated but she just scoffed and turned around to leave with Sheng Hi Fan.

But before she left, she spit out these words: "You just wait! Your class is going to lose again this year! No matter what you do, Class 1-2 is never going to reach the top position again!" After saying what she wanted, Song Lin finally left, satisfied after venting her anger.

As Li Yu Ri, Lu Jeong Shan, Mo Xuan Ji and Tang Min heard Song Lin's words, their eyes darkened. A flash of iciness passed through Lu Jeong Shan's eyes. When he had heard that Song Lin threw money at Li Yu Ri, his eyes had turned cold. 'Throw money at her... How dare she?'

- At night, Li Yu Ri's Room

Li Yu Ri was sitting on the chair while face-palming, dazedly staring at the wall. 'Your class is going to lose again..' 'Class 1-2 is never reaching the top position again!' Song Lin's words kept ringing in her ears. Li Yu Ri tilted her head as she started questioning herself.

'Can I really not do it? I mean after all, last year, Class 1-2 was already nicknamed as a 'Cheater Class' so can I really not bring the dignity and respect of Class 1-2 back? Will Class 1-2 forever be getting the punishment it didn't even deserve?'

Right at that moment, a notification sound rang. It brought Li Yu Ri back to her senses. She looked at the lit screen of her phone and was startled to see a text from Lu Jeong Shan. She quickly swiped the screen to read the text. The moment she read the text, she was shocked.

Bro Shan- [ I'm in front of your house. Come out.]

Li Yu Ri blinked her eyes as she stared at the text before rubbing her eyes. 'Did I read it right? Am I being delusional? Did Bro Shan really ask me out? I mean the literal meaning!' Li Yu Ri shook her head as she stared at the text. It is real! It is really happening! Bro Shan asked her out! Did she save the world from zombie apocalypse in her previous lifetime?

Another notification sound rang. She turned her head to read the text.

Bro Shan- [Are you at home?]

Li Yu Ri hastily replied.

Cool Ri- [Yes! I'm coming out!]

Li Yu Ri quickly ran downstairs. Ji Shi Ya who was currently cooking dinner, scolded her lightly, "Xiao Ri! Walk slowly! Otherwise you'll regret if you fall from the stairs!" Li Yu Ri turned to smile at her mom, "I'll regret it if I don't run!" Ji Shi Ya was confused but before she could ask her, the door slammed close.

"This kid..." She shook her head as she continued her work.

Li Yu Ri immediately saw Lu Jeong Shan's figure when she got out. "Bro Shan!" She called out to him. Lu Jeong Shan turned around to see Li Yu Ri panting for air. He raised his brows. 'Did she run all the way here just because of my text?' His eyes softened a bit.

Li Yu Ri asked after she calmed down, "Bro Shan, why did you come? I mean you could've at least let me know about this." Lu Jeong Shan said expressionlessly, "Let's go to the park." Li Yu Ri: "..."

-Rainbow Park

Li Yu Ri and Lu Jeong Shan sat on the bench. Li Yu Ri wanted to ask the question again, when Lu Jeong Shan suddenly said, "Did she really throw money at you?" Li Yu Ri was taken aback for a moment before she fell into a deep thought. 'She? Money? Throw? What does he mean?'

Lu Jeong Shan looked at her confused little face and sighed softly before adding, "Song Lin threw money at you?" Li Yu Ri finally understood his words but she was caught off-guard by him. 'Is he possibly... worried about me?'
