Sitting behind his screen Jian Chen frowned.

So she knew?

{Private message} Raging Storm: You saw?

{Private message} Little Flower: Checked the world stats...

{Private message} Little Flower: Is it you?

{Private message} Raging Storm: Yes.

{Private message} Raging Storm: Still want to play with me?

{Private message} Little Flower: I don't mind.... Just surprised

Well I guess it doesn't really matter... But why is he wasting time with me? An Lian thought to himself.

After playing for another hour or so, An Lian decided to say goodbye and log off, but before he left, he received a system notification.

Xi Jun and Yu Ming, who had returned a while ago, were sitting at their desks on their laptops probably playing Red Dragon Quest. Little did they know that all this time An Lian was playing too, just on a different character.

Since An Lian was a bit embarrassed with his performance last time playing, he wanted to get better before playing with Xi Jun and Yu Ming again. So, he played in secret on Little Flower's character instead.

It was now almost eleven o'clock which meant lights off in the dorm, so An Lian turned off his laptop, sat up and stretched while yawning quietly.

Hearing movement, Xi Jun looked up.

"Is it already time? Aw I was just about to get the new mount."

Since the new school term began tomorrow An Lian wanted to get a good night's sleep as he had to wake up early tomorrow for a lecture at eight AM.

The next day

Hearing the dreaded ring of his alarm, An Lian dragged himself out of bed to get ready for the day.

Lucky bastards.

An Lian thought while looking at Yu Ming and Xi Jun in the opposite bunk still sleeping soundly as they didn't have a lecture until later.

An Lian made his way to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Arriving there he ran into Jian Chen who was also getting ready.

An Lian asked: "You also have a lecture early?"

To which Jian Chen replied: "Yes, modern history with Professor Li."

"Oh, we have the same lecture?" An Lian questioned, and after comparing timetables found that he and Jian Chen actually shared quite a few classes.

After both boys finished getting ready they made their way over to their lecture. Professor Li while notorious for being strict with latecomers, was otherwise easy going. Mainly because once he started teaching he turned his back to the class to write on the board and remained like that until the end of the lecture.

Meaning students could get away with doing almost anything as long as they didn't make any noise.

Since Jian Chen and An Lian weren't exactly 'friends' once they entered the auditorium they sat at two different sides. Both chose seats high up the near the wall to charge their laptops.

The moment Jian Chen sat down he logged into Red Dragon Quest.

Little did he know that he was being watched by a pair of prying eyes, because sitting behind Jian Chen was a girl called Ru Lan.

Ru Lan didn't think much of Jian Chen playing games on his laptop – most students did in this class. What caught her attention was Jian Chen himself.

Oh my~ Do I smell a potential seme~~ Where is your uke?

Something to note about Ru Lan - she is known around campus to be a major fujoshi, taking any chance she can to make 'pairs' out of her fellow students. How could she pass up such a juicy piece of meat?

Oh? But it looks like he's playing with a girl...Little Flower... this may take some-

Ru Lan was forced from her train of thought as a ball of paper hit her in the head.

Glaring at the direction it came from she saw one of her friends motioning for her to open the paper. Inside was a note asking if she had a laptop charger cable spare. Reluctantly, Ru Lan dug one out of her bag and went over to the other side of the room to give the cable to her friend.

"You could have just come over!" Ru Lan whisper yelled.

After glaring at her friend, she turned her gaze down about to return to her seat but not before something caught her eye.

Wait. Isn't that the same game that guy was playing? Isn't that his character? WAIT! You don't mean...oh....my 'Little Flower'. Hehehe, things just got interesting.

Ru Lan quickly glanced at the boy playing 'Little Flower'.

And who is the little uke? From the back he looks cute - the soft innocent type I dare say.

"Are you going to return to your seat?" Ru Lan's friend looked at her friend nervously knowing what kind of person she is eyeing the boy in front of her.

Ru Lan just smiled to herself and made her way back to her seat enjoying the show from behind Jian Chen.

Hi hi~

Hey we hit over 100 reads!

Wow, thank-you for reading my story. 

More cute stuff to come! 

You've now met Ru Lan - a kind of comic relief in this story. I felt I could (and maybe you too ^^) relate to this character as she is a rotten fujoshi... (but aren't we all). 

Have a good day/night!
