31 Everything Depends On Her Choice

"Are you ok?"

Lu Jeongshan expressionlessly asked, but hidden deeply in those pair of cold eyes, was a tinge of worry..

*Plop!*

The carton of milk in Li Yuri's hand dropped on the ground, as she stared at him without blinking her wide eyes.

Lu Jeongshan looked down at the splattered milk and then at her as he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Li Yuri was stunned as she subconsciously nodded her head. Lu Jeongshan looked away as he said, "Let's go."

Li Yuri was confused, "Ah? To where?"

Lu Jeongshan side-eyed her and said aloofly, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Let's go to the shop then."

He then walked away without giving her any chance to react. Li Yuri looked at his back and snapped out of her daze as she quickly ran after him.

The two girls dazedly stared at their back.

The short-haired girl silently counted in her fingers as she exclaimed with shock.

"Oh my god, Prince Lu actually talked so much in just a span of five minutes! It's my first time, seeing him talk so much!"

Her friend beside her, shot her a speechless glare, "Hey, didn't you see? Li Yuri actually appears so close to God Lu!"

The short-haired girl waved her hands as she said, "Aiya, you don't know that she and Prince Lu are childhood friends! Appearing close is nothing!"

Her friend was jealous as she muttered, "This Li Yuri must've saved the galaxy in her previous life! Being childhood sweethearts with God Lu.. I can't even imagine!"

Short-hair helplessly dragged her friend away to their class.

As Li Yuri looked at the cartons of milk in front of her, her mind turned blank.

She couldn't help but purse her lips, "Bro Shan.. This.."

Lu Jeongshan expressionlessly paid for the milk as he glanced at her, "What? You don't like this brand?"

Li Yuri was speechless as she shook her head, "It's not that.. Isn't it too much for me?"

Lu 'Overbearing' Jeongshan indifferently said, "Then throw it away. I don't have any use of it."

"..." Li Yuri sighed in her heart.

'Rich people really are itching for a beating. If it were anyone else, I would've already beat them up. But this is Bro Shan, I'll just let him go this time.'

"...Thank you then." Li Yuri silently put the cartons of milk in her bag as she thought.

'Forget it, I'll keep it for the time being.'

Her eyes suddenly sparkled, 'It's Bro Shan' s gift for me after all!'

One day..

Tang Min looked at Li Yuri, who was happily drinking milk in the corner and couldn't help but walk over to her desk and ask her, "Why are you drinking milk all the time? Are you mastering the art of drinking milk?"

Li Yuri ignored him and kept drinking with a foolish yet adorable smile on her face.

Li Yuri immediately nodded her head in answer.

Tang Min was speechless. He helplessly shook his head as he carelessly ruffled her hair and sat down beside her.

"Kiddo."

Li Yuri rolled her eyes as she fixed her hair, which was messed up by this dude. "What?"

She puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.

Tang Min giggled at the sight of her angry yet cute glare.

He once again ruffled her hair into a mess, "Won't you come to play my computer? I recently found a new game that is to your liking.."

"Hmph!" Li Yuri turned her head away as she drank the milk with a pout.

Tang Min tilted his head and chuckled lightly at her, "Are you angry?"

Li Yuri glared at him as she exclaimed furiously, "Isn't it obvious? That day you rejected me when I asked to come to play! So I'm not going to play with you anymore!"

A smile made its way on Tang Min's arrogant face, "Really?"

Other girls would've been fascinated at the sight of his smile, but Li Yuri wouldn't fall for his charms. She grumpily said, "Yes!"

She suddenly spotted a familiar tall figure and hurriedly pushed Tang Min from the seat, "Go to your seat, Bro Shan is here!"

The latter's smile froze as he stiffly glanced at Lu Jeongshan's aloof figure and his eyes dimmed.

He then slowly stood up.

Instead of leaving, he said lazily as he met those cold eyes, "Bro Shan, why don't we exchange our seats?"

Everyone in the classroom turned silent at his words as they looked at the two handsome princes of the class, with an anticipation for a drama in their hearts.

Li Yuri tried to push him from the seat when she saw him seeking for trouble, "Hey, what the hell are you doing?! Go back to your seat!"

She then turned to Lu Jeongshan and said with a smile, "Bro Shan, don't give any heed to this punk! He's just joking!"

Tang Min smiled as he refuted her, "No, I'm not joking, I'm actually quite serious. This is my seat from now on."

Li Yuri was dumbfounded as she immediately looked at Lu Jeongshan.

"Bro Shan, this guy's spouting nonsense! Just ignore him and take your seat!"

Lu Jeongshan silently stepped forward but Tang Min blocked his way. The former raised his brows at the latter's actions.

Tang Min said arrogantly as he slowly muttered in a light tone, which only enabled the three of them to hear his words.

"Bro Shan, you should know quite well. Yuri and I have been very close since we were little! I know her better than you do. So it'll be better if I sit beside her."

Li Yuri revealed a blank look as she listened to his words.

'Why is he suddenly bringing up that? How are these topics even related?'

Though she couldn't understand his words, Lu Jeongshan could clearly see the hidden meaning behind them.

His eyes turned colder as he narrowed his eyebrows.

Is he.. Trying to stake claim on her?

Li Yuri got worried when she saw his cold expression. She hastily pulled Tang Min as she tired to alleviate the situation.

"Bro Shan, Min forgot his medicines today and so he's acting strangely today! Don't worry about that, I'll go beat- I mean I'll go negotiate with him.."

Tang Min was continuously nudged by Li Yuri so he sighed and was just about to back down, when he heard Lu Jeongshan say, "I won't."

Everyone was momentarily stunned including Tang Min himself.

Lu Jeongshan stared at him and continued coldly, "I won't change seats."

All the students abruptly gasped at his answer as they knew that Bro Shan was always passive during fights but today he actually retaliated..

Tang Min was once again fired up as he smirked, "But there can be only one owner of this desk."

He then turned to Li Yuri and said, "It all depends on her choice."

Everyone's attention turned to Li Yuri as they gossiped who'd be the one chosen by her.

Li Yuri froze as she subconsciously glanced at Tang Min, who was her best friend, then at Lu Jeongshan, her crush since childhood..

'Is this what it feels like to be stuck between rock and a hard place?'
