Seeing her laughing her hearts out, Gu Hongfe grabbed her hand that was holding her cup. Her hand was soft as a baby's skin and as white as a pearl. He stared at her eyes, he had enough of her teasing him all the time. Let's see how she would react now? He thought.
*Thump thump thump*
Yu Ronglou stared at the hand that grabbed her. Another first, she thought. How long had she imagined for a man to hold her hand? Alas, only by reincarnating would she be able to experience the things that she dreadfully wished on her previous life. Only by experiencing death would she be able to feel this kind of excitement and joy.
Seeing her looking at his hand, Gu Hongfe's heart started beating fast. What was this? He thought. As if getting burned by the hotness of her hand, he pulled his hand back.
"Ehem ehem ehem... It's late, you should return. I'll send you back." He stood up and got out of the door. As fast as he could without revealing his uneasiness. It was as if there was a fire on his butt.
Yu Ronglou's eyes followed Gu Hongfe's shadow. Ayaah... The rabbit runaway, she thought. She wasn't even able to respond and yet it already backed off.
"Tsk... Next time, I will make you pay by eating your tofu!" She then got up and followed where he went. She refused to be taken home and so she left by herself. Leaving Gu Hongfe hanging and still mesmerized.

A couple of days after, Yu Ronglou finally heard from Li Huangyu and her third older brother; Yu Zhefan. To avoid getting caught, Li Huangyu had a new face that was done by the Heavenly Protector; Su Wenshin. It was the same time as when Yu Ronglou had her new face. So she will be able to stand next to Yu Ronglou's third older brother without alerting anyone.
Yu Ronglou looked at the note on her hand and brought it near a candle. She watched as it slowly burned. She had sent Li Huangyu to her third older brother to go somewhere far and do some errands for her.
Although her third older brother seems like a wastrel and a dandy, only the Yu Residence know that this young master was actually good in doing business. He handles the Yu Residence's businesses and guises himself as a wastrel. So no young miss would try to get close to him.
He had grown up seeing his older brothers become surrounded by countless young noblewomen. All trying to get close and be married to his brothers. He hated them all. All fake and superficial. Only someone like his little sister lulu would be deserving to see the real him.
With the help of her third older brother, money would not be a problem for her in the future. Although she could do it herself, she was pressed with time. She didn't mind having extra help from her family. She will bring the Yu Residence as the wealthiest family in all kingdoms.
With all the future's knowledge inside her brain, it would really be easy to make this come true. Of course, the monarchy didn't need to know of this.
Yu Ronglou smirked. She had taken her first step, time to take another. Only by doing so would she be able to protect herself and her family from people who are trying to control her.

"Master, we have received news of her location."
A shadow appeared behind the young man dressed in black. He was currently outside, admiring the night sky.
"Speak" He replied.
"They said that a new student appeared a month ago in BaiFeng Academy. She didn't take the usual tests and was directly accepted at the school." Said the shadow.
If the shadow was in front of the young man, he would be able to see the smirk on that young man's face. "No one recognized her?"
"No, Master. Apparently she had a different face and also using a different name. From our sources, it looks like she had a strong backing. No ordinary person could enter the BaiFeng Academy without going to the entrance test. Yet no matter how we look at it, we weren't able to get the information of who was backing her."
The young man's smirk turned into a smile. "What name did she use?"
"Fei'er, Master. She used the name Fei'er. No family name."
"Fei'er... How reminiscing. Even in this life, I didn't think she would still use this nickname of hers." He whispered as if talking to himself. "You may leave."
"Yes, Master." The shadow disappeared as fast as a blink of an eye. Just as it appeared.
"Fei'er... Lulu... Yu Ronglou... Wait for me..." He whispered into the night.
