"Where is that cold stone?" Yan Ran asked looking around for a person with a familiar body build.

"Cold? ooh....you mean the cold guy back in the room?" Haoran questioned back as he also did a quick scan of the students .

"That's right. Cold stone and cold guy is the same person in our room. He didn't even bother to show us his face" Yan Ran said.

" Do you mean me?" A familiar cold voice sounded behind the four boys who were walking.

The four boys exchanged glances with wide eyes.

Yan eyes almost popped out of the socket. Her hands became sweaty as she imagined a huge guy smashing her head with a single flick of his finger.

"I'm done...." Yan Ran internally cried.

Wu Tong tapped the shoulders of Zihao and Haoran. He secretly pointed at Yan Ran with his thumb. They turned Yan Ran around and his behind her.

''Pretty boy, please shield us" Zihao pleaded quietly.

"You guys..." Yan Ran whispered through her teeth.

Offering her best smile, she looked up. She raised her hand up to wave but abruptly stopped. Immediately she she saw his face, the students around her ceased to exist. It was only both of them that existed in her current timeline.

"The gentle breeze in the dining hall focused on him as every movement of his body was in a slow motion.

Yan Ran gulped thrice.

His smooth face

His long lashes

His soft lips

" Oh My God" Yan Ran's face was covered with a pink hue.

" What do you think you are doing?" The cold voice sounded again.

Breaking out of her reverie, Yan Ran discovered she was actually running her hand over his smooth handsome face. Quickly withdrawing her hand, she immediately sat on the seat in front of her and asked " ummm....lunch?"

"This way please" Zihao used his fan to direct the tall man to his seat, slightly intimidated.

"This guy is really a cold stone" Zihao confirmed in his mind.

"Woah.....this guy is giving me creeps" Wu Tong thought as he stuffed rice into his mouth.

Haoran shook his head with a smile.

"The aura of this guy is really cold. It's enough to give me fever even during summer" Yan Ran thought as she stole a glance at him.

The five boys finished their meal in silence with thousands of thought running through their minds as they entered their room.

" I'm so full" Zihao patted his tummy as he sat on one of the five chairs surrounding a table.

"Today is lecture free. What do you intend to do to pass time?" Haoran asked as he joined Yan Ran, Wu Tong and Zihao in sitting.

"Hmmmm....I think I will take a tour around the whole academy and try to meet with new guys to see if I can be friends with them" Wu Tong said with a smile.

"I will come with you" Zihao said.

"Count me in" Haoran raised his hand.

"Okay....What about you?" Wu Tong asked Yan Ran who kept on playing with her cup.

"Eeeeh?...I will get some beauty sleep" Yan Ran winked at them.

"You are really a pretty boy" Zihao commented giving Yan Ran a thumb's up.

"Alright. See you in the evening" The three boys made their way out.

Cheng Yichen smirked.

Yan Ran plopped on the bed glancing at the handsome young man facing the window reading a book. She retracted her gaze and stared at the ceiling.

"Hey,cold stone, are you going to sit around all day reading a book?" Yan Ran asked with her eyes still focused on the ceiling of the room.

' Ehhh...he ignored me'

"There are lots of other interesting things to do apart from reading all day. You can play games or sleep just like I'm about to do. If you read a lot, you will age quickly. That would be a waste of handsome face." Yan Ran shook her head.

" Noisy" Cheng Yichen commented without raising his head up to look at the boy.

'He was the one who said I am childish'

Yan Ran sat up on the bed " You.....What do you mean by saying I'm noisy?" she pointed her index finger at him swinging it back and forth.

"You are such a talkative. If you have nothing to do you might as well shut your mouth." Cheng Yichen said as he tuned to look at Yan Ran.

"You are so unfriendly. I bet you have never had a friend before" Yan Ran turned her face away from him.

Cheng Yichen walked towards Yan Ran. He bent a little to match her height. Turning her face towards him, he said '' If I said I have never had a friend are you willing to be my friend " Cheng Yichen asked the boy as he maintained eye contact with him.

Badum!!!....Badum!!!.....Badum!!!. Yan Ran heard her heart thumping loudly as though it wanted to explode. She was unable to tear her gaze away from his black eyes that glowed dangerous. She found herself looking at his handsome face. She felt a strange type of feeling she had never felt before in a long time.

FEAR!!!!

'What's the meaning of this?' Yan Ran thought still unable to take her eyes off him. She felt all the energy in her been sucked away. It was as if she was getting lost in his jet black eyes but she couldn't do anything. She also felt she needed to continue looking at his black eyes to survive.

Cheng Yichen retracted his hand that firmly held her chin in place. He straightened himself and went back to his seat in front of the window, picked a book and continued reading as though nothing happened.

Yan Ran exhaled. She had been unknowingly holding her breath earlier. She laid back on the bed as quietly as she could without making a sound, covering herself with a quilt as she dozed off.
