42 Not As Simple As You Think

Su Lan passed over the drinks to each of them. When it was Qi Feng's turn, she sighed with a hint of admiration.

"Sis Feng- no no, Goddess Feng, should I kneel to you and pay my respects?"

Qi Feng frowned. "There's no need."

Li Yuri sipped the milk from the straw and smiled, "We really owe you, Sis Feng! Right, Sis Xuanji??"

"Uh.." Mo Xuanji forced a smile, "Yeah.." She then stood up, "I need to use the washroom! I'll be right back soon!"

She then walked away in a rush. Su Lan blinked as she dazedly pointed nearby, "Isn't the washroom on the other side..?"

Li Yuri squeezed the carton of milk and tilted her head. "She has been acting weird today." She got up, "I'll go and follow her!"

Qi Feng held a profound look as she stared at the direction Mo Xuanji darted off to. She then looked away while indifferently drinking the juice. "I'll come too."

Su Lan quickly stuffed the bun in her mouth as she spoke in a muffled voice, "Let's go together!"

Mo Xuanji came downstairs and was about to enter her classroom when she bumped into a bunch of guys. "Sorry, I-"

"Hey, do you know who you bumped into?! Don't you have eyes?!" The chubby man, at the side loudly grumbled.

Mo Xuanji had a dark expression on her usually gentle face, "I already apologized to you. Don't be so unreasonable."

"You-" The chubby guy was about to scold her when he was stopped by the man in the middle.

"Stop it, Piggy. Let's find the person first."

The man then turned to her as he asked while showing something, "Excuse me, do you know this girl?"

Mo Xuanji was about to refuse when her eyes fell on the thing he was holding and she blurted out.

"Why do you have Yuri's ID with you..?"

Yun Jin's eyes lit up as he asked, "You know her?"

The Kingdom High School's student ID was really something; though the class was mentioned, the section wasn't mentioned at all!

So he was having a hard time finding that hoodie girl.

Mo Xuanji was puzzled, "Yes, of course, I'm her friend and she reads in this class but-"

"Sis Xuanji!" A familiar voice called out to her. "Where did you go.."

Everyone looked at her including Yun Jin, whose face brightened.

Li Yuri's smile froze abruptly and she even forgot to end her sentence when she saw a familiar face covered with bandages.

'What is this circus-head doing here?! Is he here to find me for revenge?! Oh my God!!'

She immediately closed her mouth and turned around, ready to run away when she heard Yun Jin say, "Hey, hoodie-girl, wait!"

'Sh*t, I'm doomed!'

She cursed in her head as she slowly turned around and pretended to say nonchalantly, "Oh, you know me? Who are you?"

'I'll pretend to not know you till I die!!!'

Yun Jin chuckled in amusement. "I didn't call your name, I just said 'hoodie girl.' Are you the hoodie-girl?"

"...!!" Li Yuri was speechless. This is what you call 'shooting oneself in the foot'!

'I messed up! Someone, come save me!!!'

Contrary to her panicky state, her face was surprisingly emotionless and calm. She coughed a little, "You see, everyone calls me hoodie girl.."

She turned to the girl beside her and smiled while continuously blinking her eyes, "Right, Sis Lan?"

Su Lan, who was eating candy, blanked out. She stammered innocently, "Uh, Yuri.. Do they..?"

"..."

Li Yuri suddenly wanted to face-palm.

'Sis Lan, what happened to being bros and saving each other from trouble?? You're bringing me more trouble instead!'

As if it wasn't enough, Mo Xuanji turned to her with the student ID card. "Yuri, your ID card.. Why is it with him?"

Black lines appeared in Li Yuri's face as she took her card. She looked at Yun Jin with a speechless expression.

"..You stole my card too?"

"???" What 'too' is she talking about?! What did he steal?? He just borrowed money, okay!

Yun Jin was stunned. "When did I-"

"First, you stole my money from me then you took my student card too! Aren't you bullying me too much?" Li Yuri pitifully glared at him.

"...You-"

Before he could speak, Li Yuri pinched her hand hard and her eyes reddened instantly, "You still want to steal more from me..?!"

Everyone looked at him with a strange expression, even his own sidekicks. "Brother Jin, you.. didn't have to step so low.." The chubby man spoke.

Yun Jin was dumbfounded. "Shut up, Piggy! I didn't steal anything!"

He turned to Li Yuri and lowered his voice, "What are you talking about? Let's.. let's talk elsewhere!"

He pulled her hand as he was about to get out of the crowd when someone blocked his way.

He frowned and was about to shout when he saw the person's face and he was taken aback. "Xiao Feng?"

Qi Feng coldly ordered, "Let her go." Li Yuri gloated in her heart. 'Sis Feng is my true savior but this guy seems to know her..'

She weakly turned to her, "Sis Feng, this guy is bullying me! Please save me!" She fluttered her eyes as pitifully as she could.

Qi Feng repeated her words, "Let her go."

Yun Jin helplessly spoke, "I'm not intending to harm her.. Xiao Feng, won't you give me face on account of your brother?"

Li Yuri was feeling nervous. 'He must know her brother; will she let him take me away??'

However, Qi Feng had no such intentions. She pulled Li Yuri's other hand and said resolutely. "She won't go with you."

Li Yuri felt the situation was kind of strange.

It felt as if she was part of a love triangle where the male lead and second male lead were snatching the female lead..

But more than that, she felt relieved that Sis Feng took her side.

If she hadn't, she didn't know if this guy would beat her up for revenge! She might not even make it out after the talk!

Feeling bothered, Yun Jin had no other choice but to let go of her hand. He then sighed, "I'll see you next time."

He then stormed away with his group of boys.

The chubby man looked at him with astonishment, finally understanding the situation.

"Was that.. my savior earlier, Brother Jin??"

Yun Jin nodded his head and reprimanded, "Don't curse others from now on. That girl we bumped into.. is more powerful than you think."

".. Powerful?" The chubby man was confused. "But isn't Class 1-2 supposed to be a class for poor-"

Yun Jin hit the back of his head as he helplessly spoke, "Didn't you see Tang's little sister there?! I'm telling you, Class 1-2 is not as simple as it seems!"
