Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The ot...

Five Years Ago
Dayu's POV
I blinked once and then twice and then thrice; expecting that by the time I open my eyes, the prince wouldn't be in front of me anymore.
I applied for a one month change of shift; because I had to attend my university exam. I had resumed attending university as a long distant student, starting from this year. And this is my last year. The Dean of the Technology Department had tried talking me into resuming my normal studies; but I don't want to cause any more rift between Professor Lu Chen and Professor Peng Zhi. Even though, they had made up and even though I was told that they wouldn't force me into anything; I don't think I can really trust them anymore. Being caught in the middle of two professors whom I admired the most; I still regretted it to this day. I still feel guilty even now; and I even almost dropped out of the University because of this, if it's not because of the Dean. He let me changed from full time to long distance as long as I stayed in the University.
I hadn't seen the Prince in the week, now. And I never expected to see him anytime within this month.
But; here he is; or rather. Here I am; in his office.
How did I ended up here?
Well; my day started like the usual. I came and followed our duty roster, where I'd be working in the wet kitchen area for tonight.
But, less than an hour after I punched in; it started going really strange.
I was working in the kitchen; doing my chores today, which was mostly dish washing. And suddenly the Night shift kitchen supervisor came to me.
"Feng JianYu, please come here for a second.." and she looked so troubled, looking at me like she's about to tell me a very bad news.
Am I being reprimanded ? Did I do something wrong ? Not to my knowledge though.
"Yes, Ms Chai." I took off my apron and hooked it back on its place before I followed the supervisor. She took me to the secluded part of the kitchen and then delivered me the news.
"The President summoned you to see him now; did you do something JianYu?" She asked me, with her face filled with concern.
I was also shocked, "no..At least not that I know of.." the Prince wanted to see me? Me?!?!!
"I mean, I haven't even spoken to the Prin-President, yet..Not even once..!" I continued in confusion. Well, when I first met him; we had a duel with our eyes, when he seemed disturbed that I could laughed in his presence. But we hardly spoke a word to each other. And then, after that; I only watched him from a far, taking care not to be caught in the act.
"Well, I don't know, JianYu, but he's calling for you- NOW and he told me to free your schedule for the rest of the evening..." just like my supervisor in the day shift, Mr Chris, Ms Chai too; is a very reliable and responsible superior. They're both really good at taking care of their subordinate.
