I wrote this as a nod to Shakespeare's a midsummer night's dream. It's about a girl who stumbles upon a cafe, and she has a magical daydream.

I arrived at the classroom the following morning, Zhao Yanyan was reading in her seat. What made me annoyed was that Liu Kesheng was actually sitting on my seat gesturing around while smiling.

The tiger's not getting mad so he's treating me like Hello Kitty? Sitting on my seat already made me really angry, what's worse was that it was my Zhao Yanyan that was sitting beside him. I walked over and slammed my hand onto the table, scaring Zhao Yanyan, who was reading intently, as well as the enraptured Liu Kesheng.

I remembered a classic quote from a movie, so I said to Liu Kesheng, "Liu Lei is angry, the results are severe." (天下无贼)

Liu Kesheng gazed at me with deadly eyes, stood up, and said to me, "Liu Lei, you've done it! I'll remember this, just wait."

I smiled and replied, "Sure, I'll wait."

"Why did you get so angry?" seeing me sit down, Zhao Yanyan complained quietly.

"Of course I got angry, he was harassing our family's Yanyan, how could I not get angry?" I squeezed Zhao Yanyan's hand.

"Let go," Zhao Yanyan pulled away from my grip and said, "There are so many people in the classroom."

"Our family's Yanyan knows how to be embarrassed! I wonder who it was that asked to be hugged by others," I said.

"Oh wow Liu Lei, you're actually laughing at me! It was because of you that I nearly got scolded to death yesterday. Oh yeah, what do you mean your family's Yanyan? When did I belong to your family?" Zhao Yanyan said while blushing.
"You're definitely going to get married to me in the future, so of course you're my family's!" I said like it was a matter of fact.

"I'm going to ignore you, being so casual in the morning. I'm going to read," after saying so, Zhao Yanyan picked up her English textbook and started reading.

Not far away, Liu Kesheng saw that Zhao Yanyan and I were chatting and laughing, so he sent a sinister gaze over.

Seeing that Zhao Yanyan really started reading, I asked, "What are you reading?"

Zhao Yanyan replied without looking away from the textbook, "Ye-laoshi said that there'll be a test in the afternoon, so obviously I'm revising."

"Did you miss me yesterday?" I suddenly asked.

"En," Zhao Yanyan nodded without thinking, then immediately turned around and said, "What's with you, you're not studying and you're not letting others study. Being like that on the side, how can I remember stuff!"

Haha, I laughed. It seems like her reading actions earlier were forced. I said, "What's the point of studying?"
The moment these words left my mouth, Zhao Yanyan went silent. Only after a while, did she said to me in a serious ton, "Liu Lei, treat it like I'm begging you. Study hard for me. My family will definitely get me to apply to Huaxia University, I don't want to separate from you."

I didn't know what to say either. I didn't think this chick would be thinking so far ahead, this was a proof of how deep her feelings were for me. However, this was also what was most suspicious, my feelings for Zhao Yanyan, were mixed with the feelings of my previous life and this one, but what about Zhao Yanyan? I was just a classmate that she met not long ago to her, even if we are desk mates, even if my extreme maturity attracted her, and caused her to have a good impression of me, it shouldn't be possible for her to have feelings for me that easily right?

Based on my understanding of Zhao Yanyan from my previous life, she didn't lack excellent pursuers, but her heart never moved, did it change when I came to me? I didn't think I would have some sort of dominating atmosphere just from getting reborn, that was bullshit.

There has to be some sort of unknown reason here. Zhao Yanyan is still that Zhao Yanyan, I was a hundred percent certain about this, her attitude to people and situations didn't change, the only thing different was her attitude towards me.

Was there really some secret hidden here? Although I feel like things were going too smoothly, this was a good thing, and was progressing towards the better, I could only bury my doubts in my heart.

Thinking to this point, I asked in a probing manner, "If my studies are still bad when I reach the third year, what'll you do?"

Zhao Yanyan frowned, and went into deep thoughts, as if considering about the most important decision in her life, after a long while, she said determinedly, "Then I'll pretend to have played under the bar during the National Matriculation Examination, I don't want to separate from you no matter what.

Hong —— My head instantly exploded.

Even I, who had a mental age of thirty-something years, was moved by Zhao Yanyan's determination, that deep love for Zhao Yanyan from my previous life has finally been returned after I was reborn.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down," I laid on the table and prepared to sleep, in truth I didn't want Zhao Yanyan to see the wetness at the corner of my eyes.

"Ai~! What kind of person are you!" Zhao Yanyan was originally really pleased with what I said, she never would have thought that I would sleep right afterwards. Zhao Yanyan turned around to continue reading in annoyance.

When I awoke, the classroom was very noisy.

"Boss, you're finally awake! You really are the 'Napping Emperor'!" Guo Qing said to me after noticing that I've woken up.

"What time is it?" I stretched and asked.

"It's lunch break already! Boss, you really can sleep a lot!" Guo Qing raised out a thumb to show his admiration.

I didn't think that I would actually fall asleep, I got excited about Zhao Yanyan's act the entire night, causing me to only fall asleep the latter half of the night, so I was really sleepy when I woke up.

"Did no one call me the entire morning?" I asked curiously.

"The math teacher allows you to sleep, the other teachers have lost their faith in you, and didn't bother," Guo Qing explained.

"Oh!" I nodded. "Did you eat yet?" I asked, I felt really hungry all of a sudden.

"Of course I ate, boss, who knows if you could even wake up during noon! Telling me to wait for you, are you trying to starve me to death!" Guo Qing grumbled. "But your desk-mate bought a boxed lunch for you, hehe, she's so nice to you!" Guo Qing smiled lecherously.

"Don't say stuff uncontrollably!" I noticed a boxed lunch was really on Zhao Yanyan's desk.

"Boss, eat first, I'm not going to keep you company, there's the English test in the afternoon, I have to study!" after that, Guo Qing turned around and didn't talk to me anymore.
I took the boxed lunch over, and opened the wrappings, then noticed a note that was folded in a heart shape.

I took a while to finally unwrap it, and wondered in my heart, if this chick folded something so deep last night.

I opened the note, it read:

Lazy pig:

Why can you sleep so much? I bought a boxed lunch for you, so eat it quickly. I can guess the reason, so I'll forgive you this time. Since I'm the same as you, I'll go and sleep in grandpa's secretary's car.

Make sure you fulfill your promise, my English notes are under the desk, you can take them out and have a look, all of the points are organized. If you get a good result in this afternoon's test, I'll definitely reward you, don't ask what the reward is, it's a surprise.

It was signed off with 'Your Yanyan', hehe, although this chick refuse to admit it from her mouth, she still wrote it on the paper.

I noticed a few characters were scribbled out before 'Lazy pig', after careful examination, the characters were 'Darling'! Zhao Yanyan probably felt embarrassed after writing it so she scribbled it out. The two characters after that were 'Liu Lei', but that was scribbled out too, Zhao Yanyan might have felt that it sounded too unfamiliar to address me like that, so she finally chose 'Lazy Pig'. I laughed happily in my heart, she treated it so seriously even though it was just a note.

I pocketed the note, of course I couldn't fold it back to what it originally looked like. I picked up the already cold boxed lunch and started eating, but my heart was full of warmth.

PS

I do not own this novel

I just want to save this novel from oblivion since I always saw the "So Pure, So Flirtatious" but no VPAA novel associated with, because this novel is its Prequel.

Next morning.

Mamako opened Hiroto's bedroom door as she peak but Hiroto was nowhere to be found.

''Too bad he woke up early today'' Mamako sighed in disappointment 

"Mom? What are you doing at my room." Hiroto suddenly pop out of nowhere behind her.

The sudden call made Mamako surprised as she shrieked.

"Ah! Hiroto-kun, I thought you're still sleeping so I come to wake you up." 

"You don't have to mom, you should spend time resting, you'll be working again after this so its better if you relax at the house, I'll do the home chores." he told with a caring expression.

"It's okay Hiroto-kun, this small matter is a piece of cake for Okaa-san" Mamako pose balled her fist and put it in front of her chest with a wink.

Hiroto sighed "Fine, But don't overdo it okay?."

"Yes, Okaa-san know her limits, thank you for worrying about me Hiroto-kun." Mamako smiled gently to Hiroto.

"Come down after changing, Okaa-san is still cooking breakfast." Mamako followed then she walked downstairs humming

"I'll be there soon mother." Hiroto went inside his room and took a shower before changing to his ironed uniform and go downstairs.

Hiroto ate his breakfast and played the piano for half an hour. That earned applause from his affectionate mother.

- - - -

Mamako would go back to her job after 3 days and she was only able to go back again after a month. Now that her son was so understanding and independent, she explained Hiroto about her job which was visiting different cities and influencing them through piano. Though it sounds ridiculous, it was her dream at a young age. Thankfully, it seems that in the coming two year, she would be stopping and would take care of him. Mamako was already satisfied that she had shown her performance to many people. Many wanted to be like her, she became an aspiration to many piano masters, a true professional piano player with a mastery of 8. 

But before she goes, she asked Hiroto to accompany her to go out to bond. Since his father would not be able to come back for the coming months, he was happy to be able to bond with his mother. 

Hiroto wants to earn his own money, he asked his mother before he goes to school.

"Mom do you know a part time that's related to piano, I want to play piano in front of the crowd" 

"You want to chase after Okaa-san? I'm so happy" Mamako smiled brightly as she put her palms together beside her face

"No, I just want to make pocket money." Hiroto tells his purpose straight.

"Ehh, you can just ask any amount to Okaa-san you know?" Mamako shrugged her shoulder slightly disappointed

"No, I'd rather earn money for myself through hard work than asking for money"  

Hiroto was still schooling so he could only do part time jobs. The previous expenses was gotten from his predecessor, his predecessor was shameless enough to ask so much money that he would spend it for the collectibles in his bedroom, too bad though, he already sold some. 

-

The morning class was uneventful as ever, he glanced at Tomoko who was chanting something and its seems she was looking as eager to him these past few days. Like she would burst to speak to him, though not before she would go puff with red blush. When Hiroto wasn't looking there was something ominous that he felt this seatmate of his. Every students felt that it was better to ignore Tomoko or so they thought.

But during a class break Yasuo ice breaker broke Tomoko's mood, Yasuo enthusiastically invited every boys to go out and have fun, maybe play computer games or arcades. It was his idea brooming after being able to have fun yesterday at the basketball game.

"Hey, Hiroto do you want to join as well, we will go after we listen to your song."

"Nah I'm going to the music room after the piano."

"Haah, ohh I understand, hahaha"

Hiroto looked at Tomoko who was fidgeting at her chair.

"Are you okay, you seem moody today?"

"No-oo, i-im, n-o-t-t" though Tomoko seems blushing furiously, then following up.

"Im o-oka-y" Tomoko run out of the room, leaving Hiroto and co. dumbfounded

"Huh?, where is she going?" Yasuo and others ask themselves. 

After a while, the instructor brought a blushing Tomoko at the room. She glanced more frequently at Hiroto from now on.

- - - -

The morning lessons was finished and Hiroto would go to the library.

"Hey Hiroto your girlfriend was that red haired girl right?" Takeshi while a grin was hanging on his face.

"No, I'm just teaching her more about piano." Hiroto was cleaning his desk and place some of the books inside his bag.

"Eh?after my workout gives results, you should tell me how to get girls.." Yasuo pumped his fist.

"Why don't we join a club, why do you need to ask Hiroto about that" Takeshi asked with a flick on his glasses while he approached Yasuo and whispered to him before Yasuo nodded.

"Yeah, you two should join a club, i won't be able to teach you anything since I just normally talk to them and that's all. I think you must have the courage or confidence when in front of a girl." Hiroto smiled helplessly at the two guys.

"What's with that answer?" Yasuo was no kind of convinced on his answer.

"Oh yeah, by the way, I can't join you today on cafeteria because I brought lunch today" Hiroto take out his lunch and show it to his friends. 

"I-is this a BENTO that a GIRL made for you?!" Both Yasuo and Takeshi were synced together with shocked expressions.

"Half-true and half-false, my mom made it."  Hiroto took out his bento and smiled.

"Eh? Aunty was home?" Yasuo wanted to ask but he decided not to ask for now. He knows what happened between Hiroto and his parents.

"It's kinda sudden so I was unable to tell you " Hiroto awkwardly smiled because he noticed that Yasuo wanted to ask about him and his parents.

"I-i guess that's too bad, let's go Takeshi." Yasuo dragged Takeshi out of the classroom 

"O-okay" Takeshi who has no idea followed Yasuo.

Tomoko who overheard their conversation felt more determined at something.

- - - -

In the library, the students were allowed to bring lunch and eat there, there was a petition from the students before and was made possible thanks to the student council. Hiroto usually brought snacks and drinks but with his lunch made by his mother, he thought of eating here since it was relaxing than the bolterous students at the cafeteria.

Hiroto ate his lunch while being glance by other girls. He would usually occupy the corner tables that wasn't readily seen at the entrance so he could focus more on his reading, but it seems it didn't work well. At least they wouldn't disturb his eating and once he's done, some would flock the unoccupied chairs and read the books they brought not until glancing at him frequently, well this sight always made him 'sign'. He wasn't afraid of girls, it was just there was too much to handle, so he would not attend any girl so that others would not be jealous, there was already a notice from the council so he wasn't really troubled nowadays. Maki and the other girl he acquainted was the exceptions.

Hiroto had just finished reading his book, when he saw a Maki entering the library and sitting at an unoccupied table. He raised at his chair and walked to where Maki was. This earned the 'Che' from the other girls after that they do their own things.

"W-what are you doing here?, are you s-stalking me?." Maki who found Hiroto seating beside her felt flustered than ever.

"Don't be like that, I was already here and I was just reading my books after eating my lunch. After that I would look for a new book to read at the shelf's like before when you suddenly spoke my name" Hiroto secretly pointed at the table he just left. There was still students there and seeing that, Maki said with  

"I-i didn't speak your name at that time, hmpf!, maybe the girls there you spoke your name"

Hiroto secretly laugh "Have you eaten your lunch now? Maybe you should come and eat here at the library during lunchtime."

"I already ate mine before going in here, you don't have to be concerned about me. Hmph" Maki just get back to her book she was reading.


"It's my first time bringing a bento here in the library if we eat together here it would be great, usually I only bring some snacks here. By the way, where do you eat? Cafeteria? Classroom? " 

"I don't need to answer that question of yours, why do I need to tell to a rogue like you about my schedules."

"Come on, don't be like that. we can have lunch in the library or maybe in the music room so I can teach you during lunch and afternoon. How is it? "

"Hmpf, I would rather eat my lunch on the classroom than to eat with you!" 

Hiroto continued eating his lunch while reading the book he placed beside his bento. While Maki who was reading her book secretly looking at Hiroto from time to time. She would curiously ask Hiroto about things, and after she would deny what she heard, tsundere as always. Hiroto nodded while he get a glare from the girl beside him.

- - - -

Noon class was over and after performing at the auditorium, Hiroto headed to the music room. To teach Maki and tease her again. We'll their friendship was getting better and better. Though they were interrupted again because of her cram class. We'll he didn't ask for now, and just talked to her as they leave the school. They said goodbyes before he walked home.

- - - -

"Mom, do you know some suitable part time job for me?" hiroto

"No, I am still looking for it, I'll ask some of my friends if they need in the future" Mamako thought of her friends  they seem not need of a part timers for now.

"Thanks mom" 

"Hiroto look at this piece Okaa-san created for you, I will play it now, Hiroto, honey." Mamako's eyes were bright and wanted her own son to play her self-created piece

While the interaction was getting ridiculous but it made the home lively, it would be better if his father was at home though. Hiroto asked Mamako about his father.

"Otou-san would go back, probably after a year, mah-h I don't know of what he is doing but it sure is not cheating on me. He-he-he" Mamako was laughing with a chilly atmosphere.

As Mamako said that a certain middle age man who was busy signing some request letters and reading the report suddenly felt chill on his spine..

"You can call him if you miss him. Hiroto-kun, do you have a smartphone? I haven't given you his phone number yet." 

"I don't have a smartphone mom, you and father called me through the telephone." Hiroto shook his head while his voice drop in a tone.

"Father called me last time, i have already said my forgiveness, but he seems busy as always."

"Then go on a date with okaa-san, I will buy you a smartphone at mall hehe" 

"It's okay mom, I can buy my own smartphone." Hiroto quickly deny 

"Just treat it as a gift for you, I would be away and we can have a video chat, so you won't be lonely" while mamako felt down for a bit, but gets energetic.

"Fine, then after class." Hiroto can't help but smile, he knew that his mother is quite stubborn sometimes

[SP: 272]

Hiroto continued with his typing grin and finished two chapters of volume 2. He didn't upload it either and just looked at the hungry readers wishing for more chapters. The novel was already the top 1 newcomer novel on the site, and it was getting more popular. But with small count of chapters it was hard to overcome the top 20 best novels in the website and it was getting rated at a fast rate.

"Where is the next chapter I need it?" [killerxd] 

"This author had an irregular release" [xxxxgoxxxx]

"It make sense considering he/she creates such a great story with a lot of depth in it" [tampopo]

He looked at the time and it was still early. He played on his computer for a bit, and gained 10 SP, it was probably because he was getting rekt at the game so the SP was low. It was still better to write/type for an hour.

He had seen his performance on the internet and it was viral already, around 2.3 million views already but sadly he wasn't getting SP. 

But it got to him, maybe he can livestream his performance to see if he can gain SP out of it. Since it would count as exertion and it was being seen as well, the system would accept that right?. 

[SP: 282] 

He saw the beatboxing skill in his status before he tried it.

"Boots and cough-cough-cough" he literally coughed hard, though, the knowledge was ingrained in his mind, his body hadn't adapted to it yet. Every skill only affected his muscle memory, if a skill was based on the used of his body, he would need to experience and practice for a bit before he would be able to use it with what tier it has else it would just be a display on his Status. 


As he understood the skills, his coughing was heard by the over-conscious Mamako. Well, he locked the door so he only heard her knocking and calling with her anxious voice behind the door.

"Are you okay Hiroto? Okaa-san will come for you, open the door"

Hiroto still opened the door to stop her worry, and he was able to see the pajama wearing mother, it was a nice scene. He would not practice beatboxing until his mother leave. Else he would again experience his sleepy mother on his bed waiting for him, though he slept on the sofa.

Tamaki Hiroto died and got transmigrated to the same guy with the same name in another world. He got a system, but he wants to have fun with his new life from then on.

Monday

 The weekend passes quickly and quietly. Takeshi and Eclipse walk through the school halls on their way to lunch as Maiman trails behind them in her wolf form.
 "Hey! Guys! How was your weekend?" Nathan walks over to them as they stand in the lunch line to get their food.
 "Oh it was good. Takeshi and I went and saw a movie," Eclipse looks over at him with a smile.
 "That's good. What movie did you see?" He smiles back.
 "It's a new movie called "The Night Long". It was really pretty interesting," Eclipse speaks as they walk over to a table in the lunchroom courtyard and sit down.
 "Lucky! I really want to see it. It looks really good," Nathan laughs.
 "We should've invited you then," Eclipse jokes as Takeshi looks around them.
 "Is it ok if Ren comes and sits with us too? Seeing as I'm already sitting with you guys," Nathan glances at his phone.
 "Yeah, sure," Eclipse nods before beginning to eat.
 "Ok cool. She'll be here in a few, she had to talk to someone apparently," Nathan smiles before he begins to eat as well. After a few minutes pass, Ren walks into the courtyard and walks over to them. She sits next to Nathan quietly as she glances at Takeshi who sat across from her at the table, reading a book.

 "Since when did you start reading books at lunch?" Eclipse looks over at him with confusion.
 "Hm? Oh. It's a new, updated zoology book," Takeshi looks up at Eclipse before looking back at the book.
 "Ok and…?" She studies him.
 "I'm reading it," Takeshi laughs before leaning over and kissing Eclipse on the cheek.
 "Dork," she rolls her eyes as she starts to blush. Ren looks at Eclipse and Takeshi quietly before continuing to eat her own lunch.
 "So, what're your plans for tonight?" Nathan looks at Eclipse.
 "I'm not really completely sure to be honest," she shrugs in response.
 "Well maybe we could all meet up for a small study session seeing as we have a quiz on Wednesday," Nathan smiles.
 "Sure! I don't see why not," Eclipse smiles back before looking at Takeshi. "Want to do that babe?"
 "Do what?" Takeshi lifts his head from out of the book and looks at her a bit confused.
 "Have a study group night thing tonight," Eclipse laughs.
 "Sure," Takeshi says before burying his face back in the book.
 "How about you Ren?" She looks at Ren who's just staring at her own plate.
 "Hm? Oh um, sure," Ren slightly nods, glancing at Takeshi.
 "Cool! So after school we'll meet at the library?" Nathan asks.
 "Sounds great," Eclipse nods. Takeshi's phone suddenly starts ringing, forcing him to close the book and put it on the table. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and answers it.
 
 "Hello?... oh… yes… ok… now?... got it… and, oh, ok… yes ma'am… ok…" He hangs up and starts to stand up as he puts his things back in his bag.
 "Eclipse, I have to go," he looks at her.
 "Wh…" she starts but stops when she feels her phone buzz in her own pocket.
 "Ok, see you soon," she stands up and kisses his cheek before he and Maiman leave the table and start out of the courtyard.
 
 "What was that about?" Nathan looks at Eclipse with a confused expression as she sits back down.
 "His mom called. He forgot something at home and so she brought it here for him," she smiles in response as she pulls out her phone and reads a text she got from her mom, Ember.
 "Oh, ok. I hope he comes later to the session," Nathan glances at the empty seat.
 "I'm sure he will," Eclipse nods before realizing that Ren is staring at her. She turns to look back at Ren but Ren quickly looks away.

A young boy named Takeshi has to deal with his past, his identity, and his two new challenges, high school and a girl named Ren.

Today was my day off at Novelty, actually it was because Archie and Alice was out off town on a whim since last night. As a result, he forgot to give me the keys to open up the store. 

He texted me when I was having dinner with Nate's family. Nate saw my text, so he decided that I should joined them for lunch the next day also.

We were about to leave for that lunch at Alex's. Nate was teasing me about my romance novels but he got curious and started reading it from behind me. Then he grabbed my Kindle and started reading the steamy section. 

"Damn baby, this is hot. We should definitely do this, and this, oh and also this. Damn, what is the tittle of this book. We should start reading this and discuss the steamy sections together." He was reading it seriously, making me giggled. 

"Come on Nate, we'll be late. We still need to go and pick up some ice cream for Owen, at the grocery store. He reluctantly got up and put away my kindle. 

We arrived at Alex's just before lunch. Adriana opened the door and gave us hugs, then Owen ran pass through her legs and raised up his hands gesturing me to pick him up.

"Wow Nate, I see that you're not his favorite anymore." Adriana laughed as she let us in the house. Owen was already in my embrace as he gave me his kiss and sighed looking very content in my chest. 

Damn! This kid is going to break girl's hearts when he's bigger.

"Marissa... see that Owen got his way already. Come, let's start our lunch I'm starving. Addie babe, where's the beer? Sorry Marissa, I'm on vacation here, need to fill up my belly beer." He grabbed his beer from his wife, while giving her a little peck in the cheek. 

We were all about to be seated for lunch when the door bell buzzed. "Nate, could you get that for me, I need to get the lasagna out of the oven." Adriana chimed from the kitchen.

Owen let himself out of my embrace as he tugged me, to follow him as he followed Nate curiously to the door. 

That was when a beautiful red haired woman came into the house, and wrapped her hands around Nate's shoulder and gave him a deep kiss. 

"Aubrey! What the..." Nate was about to say something, but get silenced as she pulled him closer to her. 

I was shocked, it was like needles stabbing my chest. Tiny little needles making tiny little stab wounds, my eyes watered instantly. But I couldn't move, I stayed in my place. Until Owen tugged my hand. 

"Marissa! Don't cry, Owen not bad." Then Owen started crying with me. I finally had the strength to move, and picked him up and went back to the kitchen.

I could hear Nate cursing and yelling at the woman. But the needles still making holes on my chest. 

"Marissa? Is everything okay? Owen? Who's at the door?" Adriana asked the questions I could not even began to answer. So I told her what I only know.

"Owen is good, he was crying just because I am. I'm sorry Adriana, maybe we should do this another time yeah? Owen...I'm good. You're not bad okay? I'm just not feeling too happy right now. I'm going to leave you with mommy okay?" He nodded at and gave me a hug. 

Then I went back to the cottage trough the back door, after I excused myself to Alex. I could hear Alex was asking questions to Adriana. I walked away from their house, and decided to start walking to the beach. A lot of questions entered my mind. 

It was not about the kiss. I definitely heard Nate cursing to the other woman. It was about my feelings towards him. It hurts too bad, and I know that he still love me. What would happen to me, when he actually left me for another woman?

I was walking along the coastline, when I heard him calling out my name. I quickly wiped my tears away, as I heard his steps behind me. "Hey baby, why did you leave? I'm with you now, not her. You got to let me explain." 

"It hurts Nate, I know you love me. But it still hurts. I'm afraid what would happen when you actually leave me. I'm too fucking scared too loose you." Then I broke down in his embrace. I was sobbing, pouring all of my feelings to him. 

"Marissa, baby...sshh...I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." He kissed the top of my head as I pulled him tighter in my arms, I kept on sobbing on his chest, until I felt him carried me back to my place. 

He took out the key from my hiding spot under the broken pot, and carried me to my bedroom. I kept my hold on him, not letting him go once. My fingers were getting numbed, from gripping his shirt too tightly. 

He gently laid me down and stayed with me. He took of my flats, and took me in his embrace. "You can let go of my shirt now my love. I got you. Let go, I'm not going anywhere. I love you baby." Then I finally let him go, as he kept on holding on to me. I shivered in his embrace, then he pulled the comforter over our bodies. 

He kissed the tip of my nose, as he wiped my tears away. He kept on whispering his loving words in my ear until I drifted off to sleep. It was dark, when I heard a rumbling sound from my stomach. Then I heard him chuckled beside me. 

"Why don't I get some food for us? We haven't eaten since breakfast. Adriana called hours ago. She was going to get Alex to send the lasagna, but I don't want to let you go just yet. So I've been watching you sleep like a pervert, since this afternoon." He smiled, and  rubbed my cheek lovingly.

I finally smiled at him and nodded. So, he left me to go to his brother's while I took his pillow, and inhale his scent and went back to sleep. My eyes were heavy from too much crying. 

He was back minutes later with a hot lasagna and two glass of water. He was treating me with dinner in bed. "Mmm...I could get use to this." I told him with a little smile.

"Eat my little one, then we will talk." He told me sternly as he told me to rest my back on the headboard and put the food tray on my lap. 

I nodded at him, with butterflies in my belly. I think I just fallen deeper in love with him.

"Don't make me spread your legs roughly little one. Keep them open for me, you want this right? Tell me if you want to stop okay?" He asked with his sexy voice, I was nodding my reply.

Doctor Yan Han came to visit Mingyue in her office in the afternoon.

"I talked to my professor the other day, and he agreed to see you," Doctor Yan Han said. She stood at the door and peeked her head into Mingyue's office. From the way Yan Han acted, it doesn't look like she was going to stay and chat with MIngyue for a long time. "Will you be free to meet him next Monday in the afternoon?"

Mingyue looked up from the papers on her desk. "I didn't think that you're going to talk to your professor this quick," she went through the mess on the table and found her planner. She checked on her schedule and nodded. "Sure. I don't have anything scheduled."

"My professor was interested in your case when I told him that you have no memories of everything before you turned sixteen," Yan Han said. She leaned forward and whispered secretly, "He had an interesting theory. My professor seemed to think that those dreams might be a part of your memories."

Lin Mingyue stiffened when she heard her friend's words. She thought about her dreams and chuckled. "That's impossible," Mingyue immediately dismissed the theory.

"How so?"

Mingyue was silent for a moment. "It's my intuition."

Yan Han clicked her tongue. "I don't think we should believe in your intuition. Remember that last time your intuition told you that Nurse Zhang and Doctor Chen were in a relationship, and it turns out that they were a cousin?"

Mingyue chuckled at the memories. 

"It's lunch hour," Yan Han announced as she glanced at her watch. "I'm going to the canteen for lunch. Why don't we go together?"

"I can't," Mingyue smiled apologetically. "I have to finish reading this journal today."

"You do know that skipping lunch is bad for your health," Yan Han pointed out. 

"I know. I've asked Nurse Tang to get me lunch from the canteen," Mingyue said. "Don't worry about me. You should go ahead first before all the good food finished."

Her eyes widened as Yan Han heard her friend's reminder. "Right! I heard they're going to make spicy beef stew today. I better go first."

Lin Mingyue shook her head as she watched Yan Han left. She took a deep breath and turned to the journal on her computer. Mingyue read a few pages of the journal before someone knocked on the door. 

"Come in," Mingyue said absentmindedly.

"Doctor Lin, someone came looking for you," Nurse Tang announced. 

Lin Mingyue looked up from her computer screen. "Me? Who?"

Nurse Tang smiled. Then, she shifted her body to her right and revealed the other person behind her.
Mingyue's head went blank when she saw that familiar silhouette. She continued to stare at the man in disbelief with her eyes wide. 

Once she was sure that her mind was not playing tricks on her, Lin Mingyue stood up abruptly.

The chair behind her slid and hit the wall behind her.

"Y-you," Lingyue stuttered. "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I came here to see you," Yang Yun pointed out. His lips curved into a crooked smile. He enjoyed watching his wife's flustered face. Yang Yun held up a bag in his hand and said, "I brought you something. I thought that you might not have your lunch yet."

Nurse Tang clapped her hand once. "Doctor Lin, someone had come to deliver you food, then I guess, I won't need to buy food from the canteen for you, right?"

Lin Mingyue took a deep breath to calm down. Then, she looked at Nurse Tang. Before Mingyue could say anything, Nurse Tang took a step back to allow Yang Yun into the office. 

"Then, I'll better get going to join the others. Or else, I might have to eat my lunch alone," Nurse Tang said before she disappeared.

Mingyue could imagine what will happen next. Rumors of a guy came looking for her to deliver her lunch will definitely spread in the hospital. Lin Mingyue heaved a sigh and looked up. Her face grew hot as her gaze met up with Yang Yun.

Suddenly, their conversation from last night resurfaced in her head.

She found it hard to believe that last night, she had agreed to date Yang Yun. Even after she had called her sister to share the news, Lin Mingyue could not calm down. In the end, she only slept for three hours.

This morning, Lin Mingyue had buried herself into her work. Slowly, she had started to forget about what happened last night. But now that Yang Yun had shown up in front of her, Mingyue could not calm down.

Whenever Mingyue thought of how she was too bold to agree to date Yang Yun, her face would slowly turn red.

"You didn't say that you're going to come here," Mingyue said as she stared at the floor. The way Yang Yun looked at her made her shy.

"I had a feeling that you might be too busy with work that you might forget to have your lunch," Yang Yun said. 

"How…"

"Yesterday, your friend mentioned that you were too busy that you skipped lunch," Yang Yun said. "I have a feeling that the same thing might happen again. No matter how busy you are, you should never forget to eat."

"Sorry. Once I got too engrossed in reading some medical journal, I start to forget about everything else around me."

"I know." 

Her habit, Yang Yun, knew them too well. Back then, Mingyue would forget that he was around whenever she was reading a medical book or researching some herbs.

Sometimes, even Yang Yun would get jealous of those herbs.

Yang Yun looked around Mingyue's office and chuckled. "Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?"

"I-" Mingyue paused as she realized how her desk was too messy that it started to resemble a rat's nest. She gathered a few papers and paused. "Sorry. My room is too messy with papers and stuff. How about we eat somewhere else? I know a quiet spot in the garden."

In their world, Jiang Mingyue is a promising female physician, serving the Crown Princess to find a cure for a dormant poison in the Princess's body.

In their world, Yang Yun is a promising captain of an Elite soldier. He vowed to love and protect Mingyue all his life. 

Until an incident tore them apart. The two were separated into two different worlds. He pledged to search for her no matter how long it’ll take him, no matter how many dimension he had to travel to. But when he finally found her again, she had no memories of him. What else can he do but to work hard and win her heart back?
-----
“First of all, I don’t believe in reincarnation.” 

“I’m not saying anything about reincarnation.”

“Then what?” she raised a brow. “Time traveling? Are you sure you haven’t been watching too much sci-fi?” She pursed her lips when he didn’t say anything. “Let’s see,” she flicked across the pages. She watched him nodded and shook her head in disbelief. “You’re out of your mind.” She stood up and leaned towards him to place her hand on his forehead.

He flinched. “What are you doing?”

“Checking to see if you had a fever,” she said with a sigh. “But you seem healthy.”

“I’m not sick.”

“I know.”

“I’m not crazy.” Yang Yun closed his eyes when she looked at him in doubt. He had been searching for her for years. And right now, the love of his life was standing right in front of him. But she doesn’t seem to remember him. It was as if her memories of the past, the memories of him have all forgotten. 

She lifted her hand, and her fingers rested on his cheek. “I like you, Yang Yun.” She drew her hand and frowned. “But I don’t understand why you keep telling me about these stories. Why are you forcing me to accept this?” She closed her eyes briefly. “Sometimes, I wonder if you really like me, or am I just a substitute to someone you knew in your past.”

Zhu Baoguo felt more at ease when he saw that Qiao Nan did not have any reaction to what she just overheard.
Ever since Qiao Dongliang agreed to this private job on behalf of Qiao Nan, during the weekdays Qiao Nan had to keep an eye on Zhu Baoguo in school, during the weekend she had to keep him in check at the Lee house.
The Zhu family and Lee family did not harbor high hopes on Zhu Baoguo's results. Their only wish was that he would mellow his temperament.
During the past half month where Qiao Nan tutored him, both of the families never asked about Zhu Baoguo's performance.
This weekend Qiao Zijin was back at home. She realized that Qiao Nan had gone out early on the Saturday morning. She frowned and asked her mother, "Mom, where has Qiao Nan gone?"
Where exactly did she read her books?
"Mom, Qiao Nan seems like a mouse nowadays. She seemed to have lots of mouse holes to go to. She spent the whole of the weekend outside instead of staying at home, you are just letting her be? Where did she keep her books? I don't suppose outsiders will keep her books for her without any charges?"
"I have no idea." Ding Jiayi prepared breakfast and placed them on the table. "You better go brush up, have your breakfast and start studying. You must perform better than Qiao Nan. I am going off to work. As for other matters, we will talk later when I am back from work."
Ding Jiayi went off to work, not waiting for Qiao Zijin's response.
"Hmph, everyone seems really busy." There was no one but her at home. The house felt so empty. Qiao Zijin felt uncomfortable.
In the past, when it was the weekend, her father would be working while Qiao Nan would do the household chores. As for her, she would have a leisure chat with her mother. But now she was left all alone at home.
Since she was free and she was not going to study if she stayed at home, why not she go out to look for Qiao Nan? She might discover her secret hiding place.
But she had a change of mind when she opened the door and was about to go out. Not to mention the quad, the total area of Ping Cheng was quite significant, where was she going to find Qiao Nan?
After some thoughts, Qiao Zijin rolled her eyes and took out the romantic novel that she borrowed from the library out of her bag.
Qiao Dongliang had decreased the allowance that he gave Qiao Zijin. Even if Ding Jiayi was working now and would give some money to her, Qiao Zijin still owed some external debts for the dance costume that she bought last time. She had to save up money to return the debts.
Hence she has decided if she wanted to read novels, she would not buy them, instead she would borrow them from the library. Not only could she save the money, she could also return the novel after she had finished reading them. In that case, no one would find out that she had been secretly reading these novels.
She laid down on her bed and read her favorite novel. A thought came to her mind. It was good to be at home by herself.
If Qiao Nan was around, she might come into her room and discovered that she was reading a novel and complain to their parents.
"Nan Nan, now that I only come home once a fortnight, we don't have the time to have a proper chat. Where have you been all day long?" During dinnertime in front of everyone, Qiao Zijin asked Qiao Nan this question. "Even if you are to stay out for the whole day, you should come back for lunch."
In the beginning when there was only Qiao Zijin at home, she was glad that she could have the house to herself and no one would be around to disturb her while she was reading her novels. 
But Qiao Zijin turned unhappy whenever it was lunchtime.
Ding Jiayi was not at home, and Qiao Nan had went out, there was no one around to prepare lunch for her.
Unlike Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin was clueless when it came to household chores. She was already scared out of wits by the worms in the vegetables, there was no way that she could cook for herself.
Ding Jiayi who was in a rush did not think of that and had rushed off to work.
Qiao Zijin searched through her parents' room, she found a fifty cent coin and used it to buy instant noodles. That was how she settled her lunch.
It was only when Qiao Zijin mentioned lunch that Ding Jiayi remembered that the elder daughter did not know how to cook.
But it was inappropriate to ask what the elder daughter had for lunch in front of Qiao Dongliang.
Qiao Nan looked up from her bowl and curled her lips mockingly. This weekend was not the first weekend that she had been away. It had already been more than a month since she did not come home on the weekend. 
Qiao Zijin only cared about her as her mother was off to work and there was no one around to prepare her lunch.
"Zijin, you don't have to worry about Nan Nan. She is at the Lee house. She's fine." Qiao Dongliang looked embarrassed at the mention of this.
Elder Lee specifically ordered that Qiao Nan have her meals at the Lee house. Qiao Dongliang knew that Elder Lee must have heard that she was malnourished.
At the thought of that, Qiao Dongliang shot cold stares at Ding Jiayi.
Qiao Dongliang was furious when he knew that Ding Jiayi sought Elder Lee's help to enroll Qiao Zijin into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. But he did not pick a quarrel with Ding Jiayi. There was no use in quarreling, Qiao Zijin already went to that high school to study and she had made tremendous improvements.
No matter how he kicked up a fuss, there would be no use. Qiao Dongliang could only keep quiet about this and pretended that he didn't know anything.
"Why would Nan Nan go to Grandpa Lee's house?" Qiao Zijin was stunned. 
"To help Baoguo with his studies."
"What, Nan Nan is helping Baoguo with his studies?" Qiao Zijin shrieked. Her voice was jarring and noisy, sounding like a duck that has been grabbed by its throat. "Dad, you must be crazy. Nan Nan is already in junior high, she has to sit middle school exams next year. Her results have lagged behind and there was not enough time to study. Now she still has to tutor Zhu Baoguo, how is she going to sit for her middle school exams?"
Qiao Nan's hand paused in the middle of eating. She glanced at Qiao Zijin, her eyes twinkled in surprise.
But in the next instant she was back to normal.
Indeed, there were risks involved for her to tutor Zhu Baoguo.
But what Qiao Zijin said was definitely not out of concern. She must be worried that if Qiao Nan grew closer to Zhu Baoguo, she would have the support of the Lee family and the Zhu family. Her future would be assured and Qiao Zijin could no longer be able to order her around like a slave. This was what Qiao Zijin was anxious about.
They were siblings and had been sisters for two lifetimes, Qiao Nan knew what was on Qiao Zijin's mind. 
If not for the connections with the Zhu family and the Lee family, Qiao Zijin would not have volunteered to tutor Zhu Baoguo when Elder Lee visited Qiao's house last time.
It was just that more than half a month had passed. Qiao Zijin thought that nothing had been finalized. She never thought that it had been agreed upon and Qiao Nan had already started to tutor Zhu Baoguo.
Ding Jiayi who sat beside her gave Qiao Zijin a kick. "Qiao Nan and your Dad knew what to do. There's no need for you to be concerned." 
This child must be stupid. It would be Qiao Nan's problem if she did not do well in her exams.
Since Qiao Nan had already given her promise, if she did not do well in her exams, she would never ask her parents to fork out five thousand yuan to enroll her into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.
If she really did badly, she would not be shameless enough to continue with high school or college. It was an excellent idea for her to tutor Zhu Baoguo.
Why would Zijin be so foolish?
"Nan Nan, can you cope with it?" Qiao Dongliang was stunned as well. This had never crossed his mind.
But now that he knew about it, Qiao Dongliang was merely paying lip service. He did not seemed to be expecting a negative answer.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

11:44 AM
Max is in a good mood. 
He planned the rest of the day for Elizabeth and him. 
Lunch will be in one low key restaurant with a great view of the ocean. It's so low key that they don't accept reservations. It is a family owned restaurant with good food and affordable prices which is packed on weekdays during lunch hours. Max is confident that Liz will love it.
For the afternoon, there are few options. Since Elizabeth mentioned how she would like to be more active, he has options of paintball, skydiving or a hike. It all depends on her mood and how adventurous she feels. It's a sunny day, so the weather is cooperating. Perfect!
And of course, the day will not end well without a dinner. For that, he placed a reservation in a restaurant with a great view of the city skyline. It does not require formal attire, but it's almost there. The food is great, and so is the ambience with a live jazz music. Perfect for getting the ladies in a romantic mood… he knows that from experience because any lady he brought there previously, ended up in a romantic mood by the time entrée was served.
Max is all pumped up. Considering how Liz lowered her guard toward him already, today will bring them even closer together, and if his estimates are correct… tonight will not end up with ONLY a kiss on the cheek. Yup, he is confident that they will go further and who knows, maybe he proves her that he is not into guys.
He gave himself a final visual check which resulted in a wink and a double thumbs-up before heading out toward Liz's apartment. 
Max spotted Olivia at the elevator and she glanced at him just before she entered it. Max thought how it's strange that she didn't get dazed while looking at him as usually, and she even looked… hostile. Did Liz tell her that they spent the night together and now Olivia is jealous? Maybe… quite possible. It would not be the first time that one lady gets in a foul mood because her companion got to him first. Yup. He is that awesome.
Max rang the doorbell of Liz's apartment once… twice… after the fifth time he was getting anxious. Why is she not answering? Now he was getting worried. They spoke less than three hours ago, she should be expecting him. What if something happened to her and she can't answer the door? He pulled his phone out and cursed when he remembered that he still does NOT have her phone number!
…
About 50 miles (80 kilometers) East from Seattle… 
Hunter just ended a morning hike when his phone rang.
"Yes, Max?"
"Hey…", Max greeted Hunter. "Are you in the area?"
Hunter glanced at the forest around the parking lot. "Define area."
Max was not in the mood for Hunter's games. "Come on, Hunter. Are you in Seattle?"
"No. I just got off my hike and I'm about to head for a lunch with my crew. Why?"
"Can you call Elizabeth and check if she is OK?"
Hunter paused. "Why would she not be OK?"
"Because I'm at her door for few minutes now and she is not answering.", Max explained without too many details.
Hunter shrugged. "Maybe she is not home."
"I was there three hours ago and we agreed to have a lunch together. She should expect me."
Hunter frowned slightly while thinking about the current time. "What were you doing in her apartment so early in the morning?"
"Can you stop asking useless questions and call her?"
"Why should I call her? You call her."
"I don't have her number."
Hunter stifled a laugh. 
Max sighed in frustration. "Please?"
"Since you asked nicely… I will call her.", Hunter ended the call and made a face. Since when is Max saying 'please?'. It must be important.
Hunter called Liz and she picked up after fourth of fifth ring.
"Hey Liz, sorry to disturb you…"
"Hey Hunter…", Liz cut him off. "I don't have much time to talk. Can you get to the point? The boarding started."
Hunter heard in the background a female voice: 'Flight number DL 182 to New York is now boarding at the gate…', and asked to confirm: "Boarding? Are you at the airport?"
"Yes.", Liz responded breathlessly while walking to the gate.
"Shouldn't you be having a lunch with Max?"
"That… Something came up. I got to go." Liz ended the call.
She turned off her phone and headed through the gate. Liz didn't want to explain to Hunter why she left and that right now she can't face Max. Her mind is a mess and she needs to clear it up, so she decided to go to the only place where she can find her peace and think: New York.
…
Hunter looked at his phone for some time before calling Max.
"She is not at home.", Hunter said as soon as Max answered.
"Did she step out somewhere?" This was Max's best guess. She probably ran out of milk and decided to dash to the grocery store on the corner.
"Yeah. She stepped out of Seattle.", Hunter dryly said.
Max was not sure he heard him right. "What?"
Hunter took a deep breath. "What did you do?"
"Nothing. We are getting along fine."
"It didn't sound fine to me… Max, she is at the airport. And if the background announcement I heard is for her flight, she is heading to New York." Hunter saw that his five member hike crew is waiting for him to finish the call so that they can head to the restaurant for lunch. "I need to go. Bye…" 
Hunter wanted to remind Max that Liz is an amazing young woman and that he should treat her well and not mess it up… but somehow, he has a hunch that Max knows all that already and it seems that he messed it up. Why else would she just ghost him like that? Well, it's none of his business. His brother is a grownup and he has the right to mess up his life if that is what he wants.
…
Max was standing in the hallway for a long time before heading back to his apartment. 
No matter how he thought about it, Liz was fine when he left. So, something happened after that... 
Is that why Olivia gave him a scornful look? Yes, Olivia! She must know what happened, but he has no way of contacting her. 
Max didn't feel like lunch or doing anything. His mind was running in circles while unsuccessfully trying to figure out: what happened? Why would Liz just disappear without leaving him a note? No matter how rushed she was, how come she didn't find few seconds to ring on his door and to tell him 'hey, something came up…'? And if she was heading for the airport, how come she didn't ask him for a ride? He would gladly drop her off wherever she wants, and maybe even find an excuse to join her. 
No matter what the reason is, everything points to one scenario: Liz doesn't want to see him.
Max's heart constricted at that thought.
Max got a bottle of whiskey from the minibar and didn't bother to get a glass. He drank straight from a bottle.

Excerpt from the story...


Max was confused. "Aren't you appalled by my words? Offended? Why are you still here and not running to your place?"
Liz shrugged. "Last night you promised no lies. And I hope that you are comfortable enough with me to say what is on your mind. No matter if you are gay or not, the fact that I feel safe with you will not change. Unless you do something to prove me wrong."
Max was surprised by this logic. But then he remembered the deal they made: he will not lie, no games and he will treat her with respect… and she believes him.
"You want to know what is on my mind?" He decided to try his luck: "I want to kiss you."
Liz frowned for a second while thinking how to respond. Then she craned her neck and pointed at her cheek. "Here."
Max was not sure if he should laugh or cry. "That is not the kiss I was going for."
"That is the only one you will get. Take it or leave it."
Max is not silly to miss an opportunity. "I will take whatever you are willing to give me."

...

This is a heartwarming story which will make you all warm and fuzzy while you laugh and sigh...

When i got to Clare's Shop She was reading some book at the counter so she didn't see me come in when i near enough to see what she was reading i saw it was their sales record so i wondered why she was reading that so attentively.

Dale:"So why are you reading that book so seriously."

"Eeeek" She screamed due to not expecting me there i couldn't help but give little chuckle.

Clare:"Dale you meanie you shouldn't sneak up on me like that you almost gave me a heart attack."

Dale:"Sorry you were so focused that i couldn't help myself but to surprise you a bit, so what were you reading so intensely you looked very troubled about something."

Clare:"Well you see our sales have bean declining recently and i'm trying to figure out why because if we don't start sell more ore we will be going into the red real soon."

I take a bit to process what she just said and try to think of a solution for their problem but i got nothing.

Dale:"Sorry to hear that if i get any good ideas i will tell you but at least i am here to buy some ore from you so cheer up."

Clare:"Thanks Dale Sorry that you had to listen to me rant like that so what can i get for you."

Dale:"No problem Clare, i would like to have would like 250 kg of iron ore please."

{Author's note. I won't be going into detail about how much of a certain item he makes and how much he sells anymore since it will be hard to keep track of it all.}

Clare:"Wow your buying a lot more then last time whats the occasion."

Dale:"I made a deal with the Dwarfs bazaar to sell my products at her store and they seem to be a big hit so i decided to make more items this time around so they don't get sold out as so easily this time."

Clare:"Wait the dwarfs bazaar are you saying that you are the one that made those incredible items with skills and revealed the secret of those other crafters that the city is talking about yesterday."

Dale:"Wow the news spread real fast for only selling so little items and they even spread what i told that one guy about why my items are so cheap."

She seemed a little surprised at me confirming her suspicions.

Clare:"Huh why didn't people talk about this to then or didn't you tell them."

Dale:"Well it's not a good idea to make it too incredible since there are a lot of people who would want to get the secret out of me i made it known that my items even boosts stats."

Just then the Clare's grandfather walked in and stated.

Old dwarf:"He is right if you don't have enough power to protect yourself it's not a good idea to stand out to much but i'm afraid to tell you but you are already standing out to much already."

Dale:"Well what will happen will happen i still have a few methods to avoid trouble."

Old dwarf:"Well your problem here are your ore's now go."

Dale:"Well i have a lot of work to do anyway here you go see you later Clare:"

I pay and leave the shop and head home to start crafting. As i was crafting i didn't notice that Sylvy returned and was busy watching me craft when midday arrived i decided to take a brake and have lunch but when i turned around i saw Sylvy there looking at me.

Dale:"When did you get back."

Sylvy:"A wile ago i have been watching you forge and i have to say you really look good when your hard at work."

Dale:"you Should have told me your back it must have been boring watching me doing the same thing over and over again."

Sylvy:"No i have always liked watching people working hard on the things they like, So whats for lunch."

Dale:"Go upstairs i will have it ready in a jiffy."

We go upstairs to have lunch Sylvy goes to sit on the couch and waits for me to finish the food before we sat at the table ready to eat.

Dale:"So have you herd of our fame it seem the hole city is talking about us at the moment whats your take on it."

Sylvy:"Yeah it's surprising that the word spread so quickly i only thought it would spread a little but boy was i wrong but it's not necessarily bad thing the more people know about it more loyal patrons we will get making it harder for people with bad intentions to act."

Dale:"Good idea and if things go wrong i have a few things that will help for that."

Sylvy:"Good you can't have to many fail safes for emergencies."

Dale:"now that you remind me i should get a few offensive skills just in case i need it."

Sylvy:"Wait you have no offensive skills your a dwarf whats wrong with you."

Dale:"Hey i was to focused on crafting to care about stuff like that not all dwarves have to be battle maniacs you know."

She looks at me as if i'm some rare species, man that hurts but i really should get an offense skill quickly i have this feeling that something bad is going to happen soon.

I was just crafting a few things in the mmorpg that came out when a system notification poped up asking me if i wanted to be the best craftsman in the world and i just thought it ment in the game. But boy was i wrong.

"What happened?"
"Where am i?"
"Why am i so short?"
"And What is this thing on my face?"
[That would be a beard host and the reason you feel short is that you are a dwarf.]
"Who are you and did you say dwarf?"

  What will our MC do? Will he be the best or will he fail like the rest to write his name in the history.

While I was sleeping shaking my shoulder wakes me up. While I looked at Greg who was doing it I said: "what are you doing".
"Breakfast," he said.
"Oh, thanks," I said while looking at him, and then my hand goes to his forehead. When it was there, I could feel that it's hot and then I said: "you still have a fever".
"Oh what," he said. While hearing him I take a thermometer and after giving it to him I said: "check".
"Ok, and while I will do it you should eat," he said. While hearing him I looked at what he prepared and while I looked at him I said "ok". While hearing me, he smiled, and then he put it under his armpit.
When I started eating, I looked at Greg, and while I was doing it sound of thermometer come. While hearing it he takes it out and while seeing it I snatched it and when I looked at it I said "thirty-seven and two".
"No, it's nothing," he said.
"You still have a fever so you not going out from home," I said.
"But" he started saying but then I stopped him while saying, "I said no it's no".
"Ok," he said. While hearing him I come to eat while looking at him. While I was doing it and when I did it I said, "Ok now I need to go to work".
"Ok," he said. While hearing him I get up from the bed and while I started walking to the bathroom, I could hear Greg's voice, "you need help".
"No, I'm not like you who can't live without it" I smiled to him while shaking my hips. When I walked out of the bedroom, I walked to the bathroom and while I was there, I did what I needed. While I did this, I looked at me and while I was looking at the mirror, I changed a little my hair while I could see that they are in mess. When I did this I walked out. While I come back to the bedroom, I could see that Greg prepared for my clothes. While seeing them I said: "oh babe thanks".
"No problem," he said while smiling at me.
When he did this, I come to bed, and then I started changing. While I was doing it I looked from time to time to him and while I did, I said: "I will go now".
"Ok and about lunch," he said.
"Oh, I will eat at work so don't worry about me," I said.
"Ok I probably make something for me and about dinner what you want," he said.
"Oh, some soup," I said.
"Ok, I will try to make one," he said and when I come to doors to put my shoes, I did this, and then I could see that he started coming to me. While seeing him he walked to me and after giving me a kiss I said "ok I will go now".
"Have a safe trip," he said. When I walked out I go to the garage and while I come to my car, I started driving to the company. While I was doing it I go there not long after and while I come out my phone started ringing. While hearing it I take it out and while seeing that it's Meg I answered while saying "what".
"Someone gets up from the wrong side of the bed," she said.
"No, I just come to work and I have a lot to do," I said to her.
"Oh, so around ten-thirty you have time," she asked.
"Maybe," I said to her.
"So you have," she said.
"What you have in plans," I asked her.
"Lunch," she said.
"Ok I can go but call to me," I said.
"I will call when I will be outside," she said.
"Ok," I said to her and when I did with talking with her, I walked inside. While I was there, I could see that workers started coming and while I come to the elevator, I go up to my floor. While I was there, I walked to my office and while seeing my assistant I asked her "so how is now".
"Much better I hope I will not need to take so long leaves," she said.
"It's good to remember family always in the first place," I said to her and while I was coming inside I said, "could you make me a coffee,".
"It will be there soon," she said and when I was inside, I started my PC and while I started reading emails she comes with it. While I have it I started drinking while going around them. While I was doing it my office phone started ringing. While hearing it I answered while saying "yes".
"Oh, so you inside of your office," dad said.
"Yes, you know I prefer to be here not taking yours," I said to him.
"Ok I dealt with them and you don't need to go to this meeting but remember today you have another meeting where you need to attend," he said.
"I know dad," I said to him.
"Good, that you know but still I prefer to remind you about it," he said. While hearing him I said "ok don't worry about me and enjoy your free days with mom,".
"I can't," he said.
"What happened," I asked.
"oh we go to walk yesterday and while I forgot that she still is fit I just wanted to have a small walk but who knows how much we walked," dad said.
"Oh, ok," I said.
"It was not my fault" mom's voice comes. While hearing it I could hear that she take from dad's headphone and she said "ok so how is Greg".
"Still fever but he will be all right," I said.
"Ok that's good but," mom said.
"Don't worry about us we will deal with it and you should enjoy your free time?" I said.
"I will be and I will keep Roland away from not disturbing you," mom said.
"Thanks," I said to her, and then she hangs out. While hearing it I smiled, and then I started reading emails. While I was doing it I drank what I have earlier and while I started feeling a little hungry, I opened one shelf and after taking out snacks I started eating them while continuing reading. While I was doing it I asked one time for something to drink and while having two litters of juice and glass I drinker it while eating and reading.
While I was doing it doors to my office were opened. While looking at them I could see that Meg comes inside. While seeing her I said, "what are you doing here".
"I called you but I couldn't contact you," she said while looking at me. While she was doing it I take my phone out and while seeing that I accidentally while putting it inside of the bag changed to plane mode I said "sorry".
"Ok get up and we will go to eat lunch," she said.
"Ok," I said to her and while we started walking out, I asked my assistant "at what hour meeting starts".
"In eighty minutes," she said.
"Ok, I will go directly there," I said to her. When she nodded, I walked down with Meg to eat lunch.


Greg moved to America after his heart had been broken by his only girlfriend. 
He had the option to work from home (as an anonymous streamer) but all he did was reminisce about his first and only love that had been with him for only a short while.

The day before an interview to TBC Company, he saw an accident and not thinking Greg rushed to the scene to save any survivors. 

That’s when he saw an Sophia walk out of the car and faint. Since his phone was dead he couldn’t call an ambulance but he could at least offer mouth to mouth resuscitation. He didn't know that he took her first kiss and she inadvertently fell in love with him.

Will Sophia repair his broken heart and restore his faith in love? Join the roller-coaster.
