Qian Ci had finished taking shower and changed her clothes before rushing down excitedly to have brunch before starting her class. It was passed breakfast time, yet not reaching lunch time yet. Hence, the brunch was served. Since it was a brunch, the menu was specially prepared by the house chef.

It was quite rare opportunity to show his western cooking skill. On the dining table, there was a plate of egg benedict with hollandaise sauce. The perfectly poached egg should only cook consistently under 60-70 degree celcius of hot water for a period of time.

Once the egg was overcooked, it would lose its perfectness. It sounded easy but the chef needed to be extra careful. On top of the beautiful egg benedict, the house chef also baked a multi grain bread with avocado spread to accompany the egg benedict. For drinks, there were fresh milk, hot tea and coffee prepared on the table.

Qian Ci was amazed by the house cook westernized skill. She preferred chinese style cooking rather than the extravagant westernized food. For her, chinese food suited her palate the most compare to western and any other asian food. Once in a while, she would miss Japanese food and Si Cheng would bring her out to eat some fresh sashimi.

She quickly took her seat and slowly enjoyed her breakfast. As her favorite routine, she went to pickup her earl grey tea pouch before pouring over hot water over it. Soon, the flowery smell started to brim around the cup and she inhaled the therapeutic aroma slowly before slowly sipping her tea.

Si Cheng was purposely tiptoeing behind her before quickly stole a peck on her cheek and took a seat beside her.

Qian Ci shrieked out of surprise,"You!"

"Morning, darling." Si Cheng childishness and grin made Qian Ci unable to stay angry at him.

"Morning, too. What's your plan today?" Qian Ci poured a cup of hot coffee and put it in front of Si Cheng.

Si Cheng was very touched by her simple gesture. She remembered his likes and dislikes and unconsciously becoming part of hers too.

"Isn't that supposed to by my question? Just the usual. I am going office today."

"Will you work overtime again?" Qian Ci was checking his schedule, in case she should go and meet Mo Ting, she would be able to sneak out secretly. She knew how futile it was to keep secret from Si Cheng but she wanted to hold it till last minute.

"Why? Will you miss me?"

"Li Si Cheng!" Si Cheng laughed at her blush. Qian Ci quickly took her bag and kissed his cheek before taking her leave to go to school.

"Is that a goodbye kiss?" Si Cheng grumbled.

"If it is not a kiss, then what is it called?"

"A kiss should be like this...," Si Cheng grabbed her wrists to pull her against his body and made her sit on his lap. He put his palm behind her neck and kissed her lips deeply. His tongue teased her closed lips until it gained access to her inside and once he saw an opportunity, he was attacking her senseless.

He kissed her until she was breathless and felt weak on her limp. Si Cheng helped her to stand up and playfully pat her shoulder,"Now, go to school."

Like a robot, Qian Ci walked towards the car waiting for her, still could feel the lingering after taste of Si Cheng kiss.

At the school

Qian Ci went to the music department to use the piano room. Just in case Lu Che would give her a call, she better be prepared and practiced before hand.

As she walked through every piano room, she finally saw an empty room without any booking and went inside after booked the room through the admin desk at the lobby. Carefully, she placed all her music notes on the piano stand and started to play the melody with her right finger and slowly her left finger followed up her melody.

A beautiful and sad song started to fill up the room slowly. Qian Ci was absorbed playing her own, when suddenly the room door was slammed open and she stopped playing at once, turning her attention towards the door.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Hua was standing outside the door, with her menacing eyes glaring directly towards Qian Ci.

"As you can see, I am practicing."

"Get out. This is not your place." Xu Hua confidently walked in.

"Emm, why? I have booked the room."

"This room is always empty, since it was forever kept for my practice time. So, get out now."

"Xu Hua, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I did make a booking." Qian Ci tried to defense herself.

Xu Hua angrily pulled her wrists towards the admin desks and slammed her music books on top of it.

"What's the meaning of this?" Xu Hua angrily dissed the newly hired admin girl.

"Xu Hua Jie, what's wrong?" As Xu Hua was the star of music department, everyone even the smallest admin staff would know about her name.

"Ah, you recognized me apparently. Good, it will make it easier. What did she do inside my practice room? Don't you know that practice room 1 was forever booked under my name, Xu Hua. No one could book that room. Did everyone even teach you properly?" Her voice was getting louder and louder and a few passerby started to stop and watch the show unravel in front of them.

The admin girl was shocked. She did not expect she had offended Xu Hua on her first week. Her colleague had told her about how dire the consequences to offend Xu Hua. She was Music Department star, the most favorite student for Professor Lin, the most well know professor inside music department. Offending her was the same as offending Professor Lin.

The passerby behind started to whisper,"Oh, who was that starting a fight with our Goddess Xu Hua? She is going to get it from her."

"I know right. Xu Hua temper recently getting worse." As part of music department, a few people started to defend Xu Hua and the initial whisper had spread to become a slow insult towards Qian Ci. After all, although Su Qian Ci name was well known, not everyone inside the school would know her face. She always kept low profile and disappeared immediately after school.
