The school year started and just like any other student. Min Ju woke up as early as possible.
She and He Rue with the youngest Lin Zhu enrolled at the university together and today is the first day of school.
Days comes as a blur to her. Truth be told she can't remember what happened in the past days after launching her music. And there was still no news about her brothers whereabouts. Min Ju began to worry and horrible thoughts entered her mind.
"Min Ju! Wakey wakey! It's our first day. Don't tell me you're still asleep!" Shouted He Rue outside the door of her room.
"I'm going to shower. Is breakfast ready yet?" She asked and entered the bathroom.
"En. Father have made a bunch of foods today. Just get downstairs when your done, okay?"
Min Ju did not reply. She strips off her sleeping wear and proceeded to the shower.

"Yo, dimwit. You should go to school and finish college, ya hear me?" Old Man Xiao with a gruff tone said to Qing Wu Yao visiting his house just to scold him on getting to school.
"Can't you see that I'm already in my school uniform?" Qing Wu Yao frown as he straightened his blazer.
"Child, you really are handsome. But wait, what's the reason on going to school, hmm? Last time I check you seemed to cool and smart to be in school." Old Man Xiao raises his brow as he folded his arms around his chest.
"Of course, I want to see the girl you pick. I'm gotta make sure she's just what you told me." Qin Wu Yao's eyes slit like a sharp eyed cat.
"You mean your fiance?"
"Old man, you're going to scare the girl. Moreover, I like to get to know her better before going into that phase. Marriage should be sacred not force." He said running his fingers through his shiny brown hair.
"En! En!" Old Man Xiao nodded satisfactorily.
"You'll definitely recognized her from first glance. She stand out from the rest. Tell me what you think of her when you got home, okay? I'll be leaving. I still have important things to go to with Grandfather One." Then the old man left after patting him in the shoulder.
The heck? Grandfather One? Who's that? He didn't told me about him.
Grandfather One? As in, is that the name of the Grandfather?
And just like that, in the future Qing Wu Yao would regret not having enough information about the so called "Grandfather One"

Meanwhile... Min Ju, He Rue and Lin Zhu arrived at First Ace University.
"I never thought that I would be studying here. Thank you, Min Ju!"
"You deserve it. I also want to thank your father for helping the poor and donating money to charities after selling your shop to me. You two seemed to need the money." Min Ju climbed off the taxi. Looking at the magnificent school in front of her.
"Well we knew how it felt to have nothing. Even though we're poor father decided to help other to ease a little bit of their sufferings."
"I admired him. Some rich people wouldn't do that. They didn't even dare to part ways with their money. Unlike some of us who experience poverty we knew how hard it is to earn a living." Min Ju spotted Qin Wuxie at the gate and she waved at her. She straighten her uniform before making their way through their friend.
Girls can freely choose what ever uniform they want. Its either they choose a pleated skirt or the pants just the same as the boys. A royal blue pants, a white long sleeve top, partnered with a royal blue blazer with a layer of gold on your sides and an FAU school crest woven at the right side of the chest. Min Ju felt very proud going into this Number 1 school on Beijing.
Min Ju chose the pants since she's more comfortable than wearing a skirt. What if she gets a fight? Skirts is a little bit...flowy and airy...
On the other hand, He Rue and Qin Wuxie wears the pleated skirt uniforms. Just like a typical girl student.
Min Ju dragged her long legs to Wuxie's way. The breeze fluttered her long her and blazer. Slowly, she walked towards her friend with a smile on her face, looking very cool and magnetic.
Qing Wu Yao finally saw the woman. The old man is right. She really stands out from the rest. She's the only woman who wore a boys uniform.
"She caught your attention too, huh?" Qian Mo Cao smirks and turn towards Min Junlin, her stepbrother from the father's side.
"I never knew she would gone to this school..." Min Junlin muttered watching Min Ju from the third floor in the college building.
"I had investigated her thoroughly. I found some interesting facts. She excel in martial arts. Join competition to competition. Have different jobs every year to earn money. Her life was pitiful in abroad, Min Junlin. How can your father not help her?" The Qian family values family bond very much so when he got to know that the Min twins are suffering in the US he cannot help but pity both Min Ju and Min Jun.
"We send her money through her mother. I just didn't know that our help didn't arrive. Su family pocketed the money. We should have thought of that. You know that father went missing after leaving to go to states, right? And he still hadn't come back. I wonder if she had meet with Dad?" Min Junlin turn solemn. It's been already 2 years. They haven't received any mails or calls from his dad. They are worried that something must have happened to him.
"You just need to ask her, Junlin. She was still your sister. It was already bad enough that her relationship with her grandmother and the Su Family is entirely unreconcilable." Qin Wu Yao propped his chin on his palm.
"I can't. I don't dare to face her. I thought I won't be seeing her again but right now. I feel scared. After all, she was a child from my father's fail marriage. What if she hates father? What if she'll hate me?"
