” I didn’t know this is where I would end up “
She clenches the sheets with her bruised hands as she is lost in deep thoughts. Sun Rei was lying in one of the hospital’s beds, staring at the lights from the ceilings. Trying to figure out how she got there.
“ How come I was not good enough? “ she asked herself. She tries to hold back her tears but fails. “ For the past 8 years I tried my best to make you proud...but...this is what I get in return?”
Sun Rei never thought her own family would actually abandon her.
She slowly sits up to look at her surroundings just in case somebody heard her. There was another patient next to her however the curtains that are in between them were covering half of that patient’s bed, she could not tell if that person was asleep or awake, she just hoped that patient did not hear her talking to herself.
knock knock\~
A nurse opens the door and peeks her head in ” Miss Sun you have a visitor “
Sun Rei wipes her tears with her hands to fix herself. She looks at the nurse and gives a nod.
The nurse fully opens the door and makes way for the visitor to enter. In came a girl with Long black hair and light brown eyes, she was wearing a yellow sundress above her knees as she carries a fruit basket in her hand, she looks at Sun Rei and flashes a warm smile.
“ Guess who is here to visit you baby sis! “
“ I’ll leave you two alone “ The nurse smiles and leaves as she closes the door behind.
Sun Rei wanted to break into tears again but she was happy that her sister came to visit and she doesn’t want to look weak in front of her.
“ Sun Chi! What are you doing here? Don’t you have practice? “
Sun Chi clicks her tongue and walks over to Sun Rei.
“ Sun Rei! You know you can cry around me, it’s not a bad thing. “ she pulls out a chair from the corner and places it next to Sun Rei’s bed to sit. Sun Rei chuckles and looks down at her own hands.
“ It’s an habit...” said Sun Rei
Sun Chi sighs and puts the fruit basket on the counter that is next to Sun Rei.
“ I skip practice just to see you...and no father and grandmother does not know yet “ Sun Rei quickly looks up at Sun Chi with a scared look.
“ You do realize they are going to get angry “
“ Well not really, but it’s not wrong visiting my little sister is it? “ she pinches Sun Rei’s cheeks.
Sun Rei can’t really tell Sun Chi that father and grandmother will get angry at her, Sun Chi wouldn’t believe her little sister even if she tells her. She won’t know that their family will blame Sun Rei for causing Sun Chi missing one of her rehearsals. Her family will blame Sun Rei for wasting her time, blame her for getting in the way of the eldest daughter of Sun family, blaming Sun Rei for even existing.
“ Sun Chi I think you should go now...
”
” But why? I just got here “
”No! You can’t miss any of your rehearsals “
” My god! Can’t you please stop talking about work, I just want to see you. Is that wrong? “
Sun Rei takes Sun Chi’s right hand and pats it. “ Dear sister, visit me when you have free time “
” I don’t get a break until the beginning of next month, Sun Rei! “
“ I’ll wait for you “ she gives out a weak smile.
” Sun Rei who knows how long you are going to live, what if you die tomorrow! I didn’t get to spend much time with you! “ Sun Chi looked like she was going to burst out of tears.
The eldest sister was not wrong, the Sun family is waiting for the day for Sun Rei’s death. The only person who ever cared for her is her sister.
“ Besides it’s not fair that grandmother and father get to see you a lot “ she frowns.
Sun Rei gives an odd look to Sun Chi, their family has been feeding Sun Chi lies for years now and she knows how naive her eldest can be. Sun Rei sighs and lets go of Sun Chi’s hand.
“ They told you that? “ said Sun Rei as her voice sounded cold.
Sun Chi was taken a back from her sudden change of voice. “ Ah...yea?”
“ Sun Chi how long have I been in the hospital? “
“ Almost two months...” she replied
Sun Rei lowers her head
“ During all those times, not even one of them showed their damn faces here “ She clenches her sheets with her bruised hand.
“ What are you talking about? I helped them pick out gifts for you all the time when they were going to see you. “
Right now Sun Rei’s mind was full of anger.
” look around ChiChi, do you see any gifts? For the past 2 months. “
Sun Chi quickly looks around the room, her younger sister was right, where’s the gifts that she helped pick out? The room just looked plain and not much was in it.
“ There must be a mistake here...how can there be no gifts? “
“ Because father and grandmother never came! “ she tried to hold back her tears
” Sun Rei...”
Sun Chi couldn’t understand what was going on, she still doesn’t believe that her grandmother and father would isolate their own family member, that’s their flesh and blood.
” I’ll go talk to father and grandmother to see what’s going on “ she gets up from her chair
“ Sun Chi wait “ she grabs her eldest sister hand
“ Just forget it, haha...I think the nurse has my gifts in a storage...or maybe in my old room “ Sun Chi stares into Sun Rei’s eyes, the look that her youngest sister gave her was fear.
This made Sun Chi go look for answers from her family. Something was wrong, something was not sitting right, why is she seeing her younger sister living in fear before her eyes. She takes Sun Rei’s hand and plants a kiss on it. “ Sun Rei I’ll be back soon, and don’t worry....I won’t say anything to them. “ Sun Chi gives Sun Rei the biggest brightest smile “ I love you Rei, and if there is anything wrong...you know you can tell me, I’ll be there for you...when I’m not busy “
A tear drop from one of Sun Rei’s eyes “ I love you too...and but I don’t think I can say anything “
Both Sisters let go of each other’s hand, Sun Rei looks towards the window as Sun Chi quietly walks out of the room, leaving her youngest sister alone.
” You’ll never understand what they have done to me ChiChi “ Sun Rei whispers.
” Oh my fucking gosh! “ The patient that was next to her roughly opens the curtains that were between them, revealing not just himself but the whole side of the room that was hidden. Sun Rei was startled by this patient’s husky voice, her roommate seems to be a male. She lowers her head while biting her lower lip.
Omg he heard all of that? He was awake all this time? No! I must’ve awakened him. This is all my fault and now he’s mad.
“ Hey new roomie, I asked nurse Holly to switch my crazy roommate with someone who is calm, not someone who is very talkative and can’t shut up, respect someone who is sleeping! “
“ S-Sorry...it won’t happen again “ she avoids looking at him.
the male groans and walks up to her, he begins to check her out to see if she is okay
” You don’t have to be scared of me, I won’t hurt you and I can’t hurt you “
Sun Rei still avoids eye contact and refuses to lift up her head. “ If you think I am weird or talkative just ask the nurse to switch me out your room “
The male tilts his head to peek what she looks like.
“ Nah..Imma give you a chance, besides it’s been a day since you moved into this room. “ He holds out his hand in front of her.
“ Sorry for hearing your conversation but you were too loud, my name Xu Weilong, what’s yours? “
Sun Rei slowly turns her head to his side, staring at his big hand in front of her face. She finally looks up, meeting her eye contact with his. He was a tall handsome man with white dyed hair, when looking at his face his fierce brown eyes caught your attention, his milk skin complements his dyed hair as well. When she looked down at his mouth, his pink plump lips were formed into a grin.
“ Well, if you won’t answer me I’ll say your name for you “ he grabs her hand and shakes it.
” Nice to meet you Sun Rei “ he gives her welcoming smile.
” Ah...yes nice to meet you too Xu...Weilong?”
“ That’s right, now please beware to know when to shut up....and by the way...talk to yourself in your head next time. “ he goes back to his side and lies down on his bed.
Sun Rei blushed in embarrassment, she realized her roommate did hear everything.
This is embarrassing....Maybe if I annoy him, he’ll have to ask the nurse to change my room and I won’t have to see him ever again.
“ Hey Xu Weilong!”
” Mmhh? “
” Wanna hear more about my life? “
“ No! “
“ Too bad, you’re hearing it “
“ Urgh “ he groans
“ So I am seventeen right now and the stuff with my family begin 8 years ago “
“ Don’t care “
” My mother disappeared around when I was nine and I had lived with my father, grandmother and my eldest sister, my father and grandmother weren’t that welcoming but my eldest sister was “
” Did I even ask? “
“ Grandmother and father wanted a perfect child...and that was my sister. She can cook, dance, sing, she’s even an amazing artist too, I do the same things but I never get credit on my skills and I am not as near good as her, I even took piano lessons and violin lessons just to please my grandmother but she always told me I was not good enough. I even tried to sing to my dad like my sister have done but he never stays still for my performances “ Sun Rei looks down
” He probably left because you were tone deaf “
Sun Rei shot a death glare at him which made Xu Weilong flinch.
” Ok ok I’m listening “
“ So I have done everything I could to compete with my sister in order to gain love and affection like they do to her but I get nothing in return, not even ‘ good job Sun Rei ‘ “ tears starts fall down from Sun Rei’s face
“ They told me to never cry and crying are for the weaks, but I can’t help myself, I’m such a cry baby”
Xu Weilong gets up from his bed and walks up to her “ Move over “
” Huh? “
He gently pushes her to make more room on the bed, he gets in with her and wraps his long arms around her small body.
“ It’s okay to cry “
Sun Rei was kinda shook over his actions but it was something that she needed.
” You barely know me...” said Sun Rei
she doesn’t know why he was doing this, her plan was to annoy him to the point to switch rooms.
“ Well you seem like my annoying baby sister...in fact you act like her “
Sun Rei chuckles at his words
” Who gives a **** about family anyway, just move on like they move on from you “
“ Maybe you’re right...but I always wanted a family “
” Then...allow me to be your older brother until death does us apart “ he smiles at her.
She blinks at him ” How old are you? “
“ Twenty four...”
“.............”
” Ah...mind me asking, how did you end up in the hospital? “
“ I became very weak, not eating...not getting sleep but been mainly practicing my dance skills...because of that; my whole body became weak...so did my heart...I can’t get too excited or depress or I’ll have an heart attack “
“ Well I have an illness that can’t be cured...and my family doesn’t care if I die either. I am helpless so they threw me out. And... I promised myself I wasn’t going to get attached to nobody but somehow I am stuck with you “ He grins at her.
“ What type of illness is it? “ Sun Rei asked
” We’re not close yet “ he gets off of the bed and goes back to his side again.
After a few weeks, Sun Rei had gotten along with Xu Weilong, they were talking about their favorite anime, favorite food, sharing their interest in comics except Xu Weilong was into action and Sun Rei was into romance.
* During Night time at the Hospital *
” Oh my god Sun Rei, it’s late! Are you reading another romance manhua? “
“ Yes let me be “ Sun Rei was under covers with her phone reading her manhua online.
” Seriously! Again! What is with these comics? All of them are about drugging someone and rapping someone against their own will! “ Sun Rei tosses her phone on her the bed
” I told you those romance manhuas were trash, don’t all of them have the same storyline? “
Sun Rei sits up and takes the sheets off from her head
” Depends which romance on manhuas you’re reading, we got historic love, we got mother who leaves the country pregnant and come back with twins, we got a pregnant mother who also leaves the country from their abusing husband and comes back with a whole child and not telling the father he is the father until later on in the story and gets back with that father. And we have a romance where people who has arranged marriages or marriage contracts and the main rule is not fall in love but they end up falling in love anyways “
Xu Weilong chuckles at Sun Rei’s words “ HaHa Rei go to sleep, stop wasting your time reading those comics “
Sun Rei obeys and puts her phone down “ Don’t get me started on the dramatic par- “
Xu Weilong cuts her off
” Sun Rei bed now!”
Sun Rei pouts her lips, and pulls her sheets over herself
“ Good night child “
” Good night to you too mom “ said Sun Rei
The Next Morning \~
“ Should we tell her?”
” No, she’s going to panic and her heart can’t take that....we can’t lose two on the same day “
“ Then what should we do? “
Sun Rei opens eyes from hearing voices which woke her up from her sleep. She sits up as she rubs her eyes.
“ Sshh she’s awake, quiet “ said one voice
” I hope she didn’t hear anything “ said another voice
When Sun Rei got a clear vision of her surroundings she noticed two nurses near Xu Weilong’s side. “ What’s going on? “
Sun Rei notices Xu Weilong’s bed was folded up and none of his stuff was to be seen around.
“ Where’s Xu Weilong? “
The two nurses gaved a guilty look, after a moment one of the nurses with short hair spoke up “ I’m sorry Sun Rei...he...” The nurse with short hair looks over to the nurse that was next to her, asking permission to continue. The nurse shook her head and just frowned at her. The short hair nurse looked back at Sun Rei and came close to her side.
“ His family took him to another hospital for better treatment. “
“ That’s a lie, his family doesn’t care about him, none of them ever visits “ Sun Rei wanted answers, there was no way he could’ve left without saying goodbye unless he...
” Did...did he pass on? “ Sun Rei looked at them with tearful eyes.
“ Sun Rei...he’s in a different place now “
” what do you mean? Is he dead? “ Sun Rei’s voice cracks
“ Miss Sun we don’t know much, the officials already came and got his body, most of employees saw blood over him as they carried him out, I don’t think he’s dead, they didn’t cover his body yet-“ the nurse with short hair gasps and covers her mouth, the nurse next to her hits her arm and whispers
“ Yet? Really? “
“ Sorry, it slip...you saw how he looked, there was no way in hell he could’ve survive that “
Sun Rei curls up into the ball and covers her face with her hands, she begins to cry.
“ Oh no no, Miss Sun please calm down, we can’t have you having a heart attack “ The two nurses sat down on her bed as they rub her back to comfort her.
A day passed by and Sun Rei was all alone, lying down in her bed, hoping Xu Weilong was alive. He was like a brother who cared for her along with Sun Chi.
“ This was bond to happen anyway “ she mumbles to herself.
She takes out her phone to read comics again to distract herself. When she was about to turn on her phone, she saw her reflection in the dark mirror, she notice she has not slept yet since the day she heard about Xu Weilong, there was dark circles under eyes from the lack of sleep, her eyes was still red from crying all night. The nurse gave her anxiety pills so she won’t trigger an heart attack. It was time to take another anxiety pill but she was too weak to reach over to her counter. She turns her phone on and heads online to read another romance manhua.
As she was going through the list to find which good manhua to read, she came across a comic called “ About my life “ it was about a girl name Yu Lumi who had a hard life, her mother dies from unknown disease, her best friend betrayed her and stole her boyfriend, even her family betrayed her, she was an embarrassment to the Yu family because she doesn’t have any talents and what’s great about her is that she is just pretty with her blonde hair and blue eyes. She also gets into arranged marriage with the CEO who happens to be the male lead, who’s abusive towards her because she is not the women he wanted to married, which is Yu Mi the eldest sister. She also get framed from hurting Yu mi, everybody hated her and wanted her to die.
“ This comic is going to be shit, they have every romance manhua’s plot into one “ when Sun Rei read the description she realized it’s one of top ten romance manhuas that viewers are reading.
She goes through the comment sections and notice many fans loved this comic
” This comic made me cry, it was worth the read “
” She loved her husband even though he didn’t return that love until the end “
” Best manhuas than any manhuas “
“ Are they for real? “ Sun Rei doesn’t think the comic would be good, so she decided to give it a try.
An an hour later
“ This manga is garbage, waste of time “ she tosses her phone away
“ The female lead is stupid as ****, so naive, why does she have feelings for male lead who treats her like crap, he even raped her. The only good man who treated her right was the model. But nooo she still chose the heartless CEO, do these people have common sense at all? “
Sun Rei plots down on her bed, trying to relax “ Not gonna lie, it did take my mind off Xu Weilong...and I can totally relate to the female lead...wanting love and affection from her family. “
Sun Rei sits up and grabs her phone “ I’ma just skip to the end, what happened that made the viewers cry? “
As Sun Rei skips to the last chapter she begins to read.
3 minutes later
“ Wait..wait wait what? She dies while giving birth?....but she was poison...she never got her happy ending?...nobody came to her funeral? “ Sun Rei’s heart starts to ache
“ The male lead decides to care for her now right after reading her last letter? How is this story good? “ tears suddenly fall down her eyes.
“ Why do the people who gets abandoned die? Where’s their happy ending? Ow! “ Sun Rei instantly holds onto her chest, she started to feel pain.
“ Oh no, don’t tell me it’s my heart...”
The pain in her chest aches so more “ I-I need to calm down “ Sun Rei tries to reach for her pills however she ends up knocking it down, rolling underneath the bed.
“ Oh come on! Ow ow”
Sun Rei tries to inhaled and exhaled to steady her heart. But nothing seems to work, it was like a knife is being stab into her heart.
” M-My chest.....it hurts“ Sun Rei breathes in and out multi times trying whatever she can to endure the pain. She shuts her eyes close, hoping time will move faster so the pain can go away.
It really hurts, am I dying right now? Is this the end? Where would I go? I wished I would go to a better place instead of hell. Hopefully I can able see Xu Weilong again.
Ah! The pain...
I’m sorry Sun Chi for being weak, I let you down.
But wait...I don’t feel pain anymore...but warm inside...why is it warm?
” Miss Yu please wake up, you have school “
Miss Yu? Is that my new roommate?
“ Miss Yu you can not be late to school again “
Sun Rei slowly opens her eyes, she quickly sits up and scans her surroundings, she finds herself in an unfamiliar room. “ Where am I? “ asked Sun Rei
A woman standing next to her who’s dressed in a maid uniform puts her hand over Sun Rei’s forehead, checking her temperature.
” Why Miss Yu are you not feeling well today? Mmhh...You seem fine. It’s your room that you are in. Now get up, Don’t want to be late like last time “.
Sun Rei was so confuse
Am I dreaming? Is this where we all go when we die?
“ Yu Lumi hurry up, everyone is starting to eat breakfast without you “ said a voice which sounded like a man that was coming outside from the room.
Did he say Yu Lumi? Oh no...don’t tell me I have reborn into “ About my life “ ......out of all the romance mangas why this one? How is this a better place?
Sun Rei jumps out of bed and rushes towards the bathroom that is connected to the room just so she can look into a mirror.
“ Oh no, ooh no no no “ Sun Rei was freaking out at her new appearance, she began to pull her on her cheeks, twirl her blonde hair, stare at her blue eyes. Yu Lumi is very pretty but this character was not really her taste. Sun Rei couldn’t help but notice that Yu Lumi's blue eyes are the same color as the ocean, you can easily get locked in her gaze.
“ Is this for real? Did I really transfer into another world? How?...How did this happen? “ Sun Rei was lost in words but she could not answer any questions.
Knock knock\~
“ Miss Yu? You okay in there? You rushed out of your bed like your life depends on it “ said the maid
“ Ah...yea I am fine, just freshening up! “
Sun Rei could not stop looking at herself in the mirror; she was still in disbelief. “ I am now Yu Lumi huh…”
Sun Rei begins to shake her head “ Yea nope still don’t like the female lead and I dislike bangs, I can’t get use to this, nope “
30 minutes later \~
Sun Rei was finally ready for school and headed downstairs to meet her new horrible family “ Here goes nothing “ Sun Rei already knows what’s going to happen and she’ll have to face it like her last life. When Sun Rei entered the kitchen, all eyes were on her. Sun Rei clenches her hand and lowers her head.
Please don’t stare at me, just let me be
“ Ah Lumi, glad you can finally join us “ the man who sits in the middle of the table flashes a smile on Sun Rei.
I’m guessing he’s my dad, Mr. Yu, actually Mr. Yu isn’t that bad of a father though, maybe I can get along with him.
“ Sorry for coming late, “ Sun Rei hurried and took a seat.
“ Lumi dear, do us a favor and try to be on time “ Said the Lady in the red dress.
She must be Mrs. Yu, the wicked stepmother
“ I’ll make sure it never happens on your watch again “ Sun Rei shines a fake smile at Mrs. Yu
Mrs. Yu seems to notice the fake smile and rolls her eyes “ That’s good to know “ she begins to take a bite of her fruit from the plate.
Ok I know I am in Yu Lumi’s body, and I have no idea how am I going to live this way, I better start a plan now and fast. I know in about three years I’ll be married to Xu Kai, the male lead of this story. I gotta find a way to break off this engagement….before my death.
“ Lumi you okay? You haven’t touched your food, would you like to eat something else? “ said Mr. Yu
“ Huh? Oh no I am good, I’m fine what I have here “ Sun Rei began to dig in her breakfast.
There’s something else I also gotta take care of, what was it again?
“ Good morning everyone “ a female voice interrupts Sun Rei’s thoughts that got her to turn to look at her.
“ Ah Good morning Yu Mi, you look beautiful as always “ Said Mr. Yu
“ Good morning my only lovely daughter “ said Mrs. Yu
Yu Mi walks over to her mother, plants a kiss on her cheek, then heads towards her father and does the same thing before she sits down.
Wow talk about favoritism in this house
Sun Rei quickly took a glance at Yu Mi, she was stunned at Yu Mi’s appearance, she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. With long purple hair, ocean blue eyes, heart shaped lips, she was perfect.
“ So I am trying to audition for this movie called ‘ Good Cops ‘ where Hu Yitian will be the male lead of the movie. “ Said Yu Mi
That’s right, Yu mi is an actress, singer,and a dancer, she’s well rounded, so perfect like my eldest sister. Actually...I miss Sun Chi.
“ You’ll get a perfect part in the movie Yu Mi, I’ll just know it. You’re very talented “ said Mrs. Yu
“ Of Course mother, you’re always right and I am very talented, better than most people “ Yu Mi smirks at Sun Rei.
Sun Rei notices that Yu Mi’s comment was directly at her.
Wow...so childish, what did Xu Kai even see in her?
“ Well I know how to be humble, unlike some people “ Sun Rei flashes a grin at Yu Mi.
“ Excuse me? “
“ You heard me loud and clear “ Sun Rei wipes her mouth with her napkin and gets up.
“ This was sweet, I’m headed out to school now “ Sun Rei was about to head out of the kitchen until Mrs. Yu bangs her hand on the table.
Bang!
“ Yu Lumi, that was very disrespectful to your eldest sister “ Mrs. Yu was shooting death glares at Sun Rei.
“ Did I mention Yu Mi? “
“ You-“
“ If there’s nothing else, then goodbye “ Sun Rei finally leaves the kitchen.
Yu Mi, Mr. Yu, and Mrs. Yu, all of their faces were in shock to see what Sun Rei did. They couldn’t comprehend what just happened.
At the School Entrance of Bao Bing High
Sun Rei was standing looking up at her huge school for rich kids. “ So I go here huh, it is very big in person “
She starts walking towards the big corridor doors, she couldn’t wait to enter war and she was ready to see what’s coming at her.
I still have that feeling that I am missing something, what was it again?
“ Yu Lumi! “ a male voice called out to her
“ Huh? “ She turned around and observed a handsome man standing above her.
“ Can I help you? “ Sun Rei was trying to figure out who this man was.
“ Oh now you're acting like you don’t know me? Yu Lumi stop playing these games, we all know what you have done “ said the man.
What did Yu Lumi do? This female lead is so weak she can’t even run without falling.
“ I’m sorry? I don’t follow “ She blinks at him
Soon a bunch of kids started to pay attention and crowd the area.
Urgh this always happens in every manhua. Hello people, this is none of their business. Keep walking.
“ You threaten Yang Di to stay away from me, you are going too far Lumi, we already broken up stop bothering us, let us be happy”
Ah now I remembered, Yu Lumi had an ex boyfriend name Huang Jun who cheated on her with her best friend about a few weeks ago right? He was a fool for believing Yang Di than his own girlfriend, to be honest I am glad that Yang Di made a move on him, he was an idiot.
“ Wow Yu Lumi still won’t give up on Huang Jun? So obsessive “
“ Wow, what a crazy bitch “
“ Yang Di is so much better than her anyway “
“ Hold on now, when did I ever threaten Yang Di? I don’t even want you anymore, you’re trash to begin with “ Sun Rei chuckles at him
“ Jun, please stop, it's okay, really! We can never be together “ That female voice was no other than Yang Di who is tugging on Jun’s shirt.
“ Yang Di, you’re are such a pure bun that needs to be protected, I don’t know what you see in Sun Rei, stop being nice to her when she is not nice to you “ he holds onto her tight
“ Wow I am so convinced that Yu Lumi is a bitch, so wicked “
“ She should’ve not shown her face here “
Sun Rei begins to burst out of laughter “ This is so funny “ she wipes her fake tears.
“ What is? “ asked Jun
“ This picture right here “ she points at the couple
“ Why would I waste my time on bullying Yang Di? She ain’t worth it “ Sun Rei crosses her arms as she grins.
“ Why can’t you be happy for us? We’re in love, please just tried to get along with Yang Di, she misses her best friend, she is trying to be nice “ said Jun
“ Stop right there, so you’re saying that bitch behind you is nice? Want me to remind you what happened a few weeks ago? Both of you guys were having an affair. You cheated on me with my BEST FRIEND! And you asking why can’t I be happy for you? Dude are you seriously dumb? Ok I get it, my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend and I’m going to pretend it didn’t hurt like hell so we can all be happy and be friends again haha...no I have the right to be angry and not be friends with Yang Di. I mean what kind of best friend who was like a sister to me steals my boyfriend? And you guys still suspect me to be okay with this? “
Sun Rei walks up to a random classmate’s face “ If you were in my shoes wouldn’t you feel angry as well? “
“ Well yeah, you do have a point. Your bestfriend stealing your boyfriend that is fucked up in so many levels. “
“ Thank you, I mean come on! The one who is obviously the bitch here is Yang Di. “
“ Yu Lumi! “ cried Jun
“ Watch your mouth when you say my name. Don’t make me start on you Jun; actually too late, you choose to believe Yang Di over me, and I am convinced that you are a real idiot. A fool who can’t be loyal to his lover “
Jun lowers his head in guilt
“ Yu Lumi, I am your best friend. Why do you see me like that? “ Yang Di puts on a persona to act like the victim.
“ You know what, this conversation is done, Yang Di and Huang Jun, you guys can have each other, may you have lovely years together, goodbye. “ Sun Rei blows a kiss at the couple and leaves first for class.
In the hallway
Wait which class was it again? In the comic it showed class 4A? Yes must be, but wait which seat Yu Lumi was sitting in again?
Sun Rei moans in frustration as she walks down the hallway
I don’t wanna talk to anybody, and when I get to the classroom I can’t ask anybody where I sit, they would look at me crazy.
“ Hey seat buddy “ a hand pat Sun Rei’s right shoulder which causes her to flinch.
“ Oh god you scared me- wait did you just say seat buddy? “ She looked over her shoulder and there she met a tall student with short dark green hair with a muscular jawline that most males have, who was staring right at her. She gawked at this student’s features, this student was handsome. Sun Rei wasn’t sure if this student was a female or a male but mostly could be a female since this student is wearing a skirt.
“ Why are you cross dressing? “ said Sun Rei
“ Haha very funny “ The student playfully rolled her eyes “ You already know I’m a girl “
“ An handsome girl “ Sun Rei playfully winks at her.
“ Come on, we gotta get to class before class starts, “ said the female student.
I don’t really remember her in the comic, who was she again?.....wait…. It’s Chen Biyu! She doesn't get much screen time but she was the desk mate of Yu Lumi and the only good student who stood up for her. This is my chance to get close to Biyu.
Sun Rei follows Biyu into the classroom and sits down besides her. She wanted to start a conversation with Biyu in order to be friends with her
“ So, Biyu “
“ mmhh? “
“ How’s life?...”
“ Boring….”
“Oh…”
“........”
“ ……..”
“ ……..”
“ You know, I find you attractive “ said Sun Rei
“ Oh? Somehow you’re not straight anymore? “ Biyu chuckles
“ Nah I'm straight...I think? “
“ let me know when your Bi “ said Biyu as she dozes off
It looked like she doesn’t want to be bothered. Sun Rei signs and lowers her head.
Making friends is kinda difficult. I just want a happy peaceful life with no drama.
Suddenly the door slams open making everyone stop what they're doing and stare at the newcomers.
“ Yu Lumi! “
Ah shit, here we go again
A group of girls comes walking towards Sun Rei’s desk.
“ We know what you did to Yang Di, you embarrassed her in front of the school entrance! “
I’m really not in the mood for this
“ Um...okay? She had it coming, tell your little friend to stop stealing people’s boyfriends alright? “ The change of her voice became cold.
The group of girls were shocked at the response of what Sun Rei had said. This week girl dare to talk back? Where did this strong presence come from?
“ We came here to let you know, if you mess with Yang Di, we will expose your secret “ The whole class begins to make noise since they are curious about Yu Lumi’s secret.
“ Go right ahead, I don’t have any secrets to share “
One of the girls gave an evil grin at her “ We’ll see” She flicks her brown hair and leaves the classroom with her.
Biyu leans over to me and whispers “ What the hell was that about? “
“ Oh, Yang Di just wants attention and wants me down so she is using people to just get under my skin, I’m not concerned about her “ Biyu was taken aback , she never suspects the weak Yu Lumi was ready to leave her nest.
“ Well if you need any help, you’ll know where to find me “
The bell rings and class has finally started, as minutes past, Sun Rei was very interested in her history class learning about time travel. This class could help her find a way on how she got there and how she can get out. Many of the students looked bored as they waited for their class to be over, Sun Rei on the other hand was writing down many notes. She wants to get every detail she can about time traveling.
An hour had passed by and it was time for her music class.
I almost forgot, Yu Lumi plays the triangle since everyone knows she has no talent, what if I can flip that around?
Sun Rei entered her next class and sat behind the piano. Sun Rei was about to play until someone cleared their throat.
“Excuse Miss You, are you trying to hurt someone’s ears today? Who pissed you off? “ It was Mr. Zang the music teacher.
“ Oh you don’t trust me to play this piano right huh? “
Mr.Zeng rolled his eyes and handed her a triangle with a mental stick.
“ You gotta be kidding me right? “ said Sun Rei
“ Does it look like I am joking? “ He raises one eyebrow
“ How about this, Give me an hard piece to play and if I can’t get the keys right I’ll take the triangle but If I play it right I get a new instrument “
“ Ha Miss Yu, you are digging your own grave, what makes you think you can play this piano? “
The whole class started to laugh at her
“ What is with Yu Lumi today? “ said a classmate
“ Just because she taught Jun and Yang Di a lesson she automatically thinks she can do everything, what a fool “ said a student
“ Is she for real or what? Everyone knows she is talentless and can’t do anything right “ said another student
“ Give up Miss Yu we all know you can’t win “ said Mr. Zeng
“ No I wanna do this challenge so let’s go “
“ Alright you asked for it, I want you to play the ‘ La Campanella ‘ “ said Mr. Zeng
The students gasps and whispers to each other
“ There’s no way in hell she can do that “
“ Is she dumb? She can’t even play the triangle right “
“ It was nice knowing her “
Sun Rei takes a deep breath and gets in her position...
“ Is she dumb? She can’t even play the triangle right “
“ It was nice knowing her “
Sun Rei takes a deep breath and gets in her position, she then lightly lays her hands on the white keys. “ Just believe in yourself, you are good enough “ she whispers. The tip of her fingers begin to move, hitting the notes to the song. You can hear that the notes are smooth and connected. Sun Rei felt the music rushing through her veins. She swift her body side to side, she was dancing with the medleys. Mr. Zeng was surprised, none of his students couldn’t top this song. He was amazed that Sun Rei’s soul was pouring out into the piano, it’s like they were communicating.
Yu Lumi didn’t seem like Yu Lumi, it was like she was a totally different person. Thought Mr. Zeng
Even the students couldn’t believe this was Yu Lumi, it’s like she has changed overnight.
Sun Rei closes her eyes and starts remembering her training, the lessons that her favorite music teacher taught her paid off well, of course she used to teach Sun Chi, both girls were her top students. Her music teacher was a foreigner who came from England, she was also Sun Rei and Sun Chi’s etiquette teacher. Her name was Mrs. Jane. Mrs. Jane was amazing to the Sun family, thanks to her hard work, Sun Rei and Sun Chi became really talented in music. Mrs. Jane used to be a famous pianist and violinist back in her own hometown. Now she travels around the world through orphanages, hospitals and even schools to teach more students, she wanted to help people find their music. What she means by that, find your own place of feeling.

“ What makes you happy? Do you want to reach that feeling? Are you able to take it? How far are you willing to go? Would you give up? Are you really determined? ``*
These were the questions that Mrs. Jane got Sun Rei thinking.
I do want to be happy, I want live without worries, I want be good enough to please everyone, I want to be loved, I want laugh with friends and family, I want sing to the people, I want to show them I am not weak, I’ll keep dancing until they look my way, I’ll keep playing until they hear me. I just want everyone to be pleased with me. I want to be supported. Just tell me I did good, tell me I did well, tell me you're proud. I wanna hear those words.
Sun Rei finally finished the song and rested her hands on the keys, she really felt emotional and she was hoping that the whole class would appreciate her performance. When she got up and turned around, everyone was staring at her with their jaws dropped. They couldn’t find any words to say something. Until one student who with gray curly hair got up from his chair, he began clapping his hand first, this caused more people to stand up and clap and soon the whole class was cheering.
Sun Rei was on the verge to cry, she never performed in front of people except family members, her family wouldn’t allow her to participate in competitions, only Sun Chi was allowed because she was the star, winning all those awards which took up almost the whole house. The only award Sun Rei got was a blue ribbon from Mrs. Jane.
Mr. Zeng did hand gestures to calm the class, soon the students obeyed and were seated down.
He then looks at Sun Rei with an odd look. This made Sun Rei very nervous, she was hoping she impressed him.
“ I was surprised and impressed...however the you made the song very sad “
“ I did?...”
“ when playing piano, you are communicating with your emotions, the way you played is the way you feel “
Sun Rei lowers her head trying to give much thought.
But did I play it well though? Does it matter if I pay for it sad?
“ You played well, definitely got the wrong keys...I mean you substituted the keys, I don’t know if you noticed but you changed some notes, you played the major seven, which is the saddest chord ever. “ said Mr. Zeng
The classroom starts to whisper to each other, they too didn’t notice she was playing the song in a different way.
“ Wow...I do have a lot in mind..I didn’t even know I was playing the song that sad “ she awkwardly laughs.
“ Since I won the bet, you cannot…”
“ I know I have to continue playing the triangle, I can’t play other instruments “ Sun Rei sighs
“ I was going to say you can not play the triangle anymore, feel free to choose any instrument to work with that matches your talent “ he smiles at Sun Rei.
“ Wait...really? “ Sun Rei was very excited to hear those words coming out of his mouth.
“ Yes, and since you impressed me I want to make an offer, see me after school Lumi. “ Mr. Zeng heads over to his desk to take out music sheets to start his class. Sun Rei quickly heads to the music storage to pick out an instrument.
“ Ah! This is the one I want “
Glaze Star Entertainment
Knock knock\~
“ Come in, “ said the man leaning against his chair as he smoked his cigar.
The door swings open and in comes a man dressed in all black suit, he had dark green hair, small glasses that seemed to be coming off his nose, his eyes were closed, his eye color was mysterious. His left arm was behind his back and his right arm was below his waist, he also wore white gloves on his hands. This man was quite a gentleman.
“ Good morning Sir, just to remind you that your family has plans to visit the Yu family tonight “
“ Must be to discuss my engagement with Yu Lumi “
“ Your mother and her mother were very close, Mrs. Xu did plan to have you two together someday “
“ Yuchen as my personal secretary, please don’t remind me of that, I’m really not interested in little girls“ the man said with an annoyed expression, he rubs both of his temples, trying to forget his engagement to Yu Lumi.
“ But Mr. Xu, no...as a friend Kai, don’t you have eyes for lady Yu Mi? She’s two years older than her sister “
“ Correction on your part, Yu Mi is an adult, who happens not act like spoiled brat, but a matured woman, “ Kai argues.
“ Very well Sir, then I’ll take my leave “ Yuchen gently nods his head and makes his way out of the office.
Xu Kai puts out his cigar and tosses it aside, from his breath he makes a heavy sigh. The man did not like the way his life was turning out to be.
“ I’m rich, I’m engaged, I’m even the CEO of my family’s company….I was meant to be born like this...without a choice...just following commands, how my story is already written without me having any say….this wasn’t my dream…”
Xu Kai gets up from out of his chair and heads towards a huge window that take almost the entire walls of his office, he starts observing what was happening outside of his company, there he saw a family walking into a restaurant, a worker lifting boxes into a truck, people taking their dogs out to walk, a couple taking selfies as they eat ice cream, performers keeping the people entertain in the streets. Everyone seems happy with the way their lives are going. Xu Kai secretly smiles, he dreams of a day where he can have a normal life, without anybody spreading a path for him. Since he was the eldest son of the Xu family, He grew up differently from his siblings. He had to be the most responsible one, he had to be smart, he had to be strong, he had to be perfect in order to run the family business. It was a pity how he never lived a good childhood like everyone else. He missed out on a lot, everyday he regrets being the eldest.
The only one who understands me is Yu Mi, she’s the one I want, the one I need right now. I can’t wait to see her tonight.
After School
In the music room
“ Huh? You want me to join the school’s talent show? “ Sun Rei was surprised but was very excited at the same time.
“ I did Indeed say that, weren’t you paying attention? “ Mr. Zeng chuckles at Sun Rei’s shock expression.
“ But are you sure? The school’s talent show? I’m allowed to participate? “
“ Yes, all students are allowed to have this chance, If you don’t want to I can always ask someone els-“
“ Noo wait, I’ll do it “ she cuts him off
Sun Rei cups her own cheeks and starts to swift her body side to side. She was very happy that she could participate in the talent show and release her strengths to many people.
“ This is my first time performing for so many people, I dreamed of this one day. “
Mr. Zeng stared at Sun Rei, he wonders if Mr. Yu was treating his own daughter right. He had never seen this side of Lumi before. He noticed something was going on when he heard her play a sad tune. At this point he is worried about her.
“ You did know that me and your mother were rivals right? “
Sun Rei snaps out of her zone and looks at her teacher with a wired expression.
“ I didn’t know that...wait...you knew my mother? “
Sun Rei doesn’t know much about her new life, she is trying her best to act out as Yu Lumi.
“ Um...you already knew that me and your mom are friends…. “ Mr. Zeng gave her an odd look.
“ Ohh, yea my bad, brain fart...of course I knew that... I-I just forgot...that’s all “
“ Anyway...how is your mother? Did you stop by to see her at the hospital lately? Has she woken up? “
“ She’s still alive? “
“ ……..”
“ I mean she’s still alive and well…I need to visit her as soon as I can when I leave this room...haha “ she scratches the back of her neck awkwardly.
So I think I am still at the beginning of the story. Yu Lumi’s ex boyfriend already cheated on her, that happened...When was the event that her mother died? Was it before the 20th Anniversary of the Shrek company? Or After? Wait...Yu Lumi’s mother died when Mr.Yu took everyone on vacation...was it summer vacation?
“ Lu Yumi have you been feeling alright? I notice you are different person now “
Although Sun Rei doesn’t know that much about Yu Lumi, she was trying her best to use the knowledge of this story she read. Since she got reincarnated, she wanted to change the story’s destiny in order to become happy. This was her second chance in life so she was not going to waste it or let anybody ruin it...or she was just reincarnated to be tested on, was this a lesson that God planned for her?
“ That’s right, I am, and I don’t want to be weak anymore...I want to finally stand up off my ground and show everyone what I can do “ Sun Rei’s voice was very serious. This made Mr. Zeng to be interested in her future plans.
“ I believe you will bring more food to the table “ Mr. Zeng pats Sun Rei’s right shoulder, he starts walking towards the door to leave but stops midway.
“ If you win the talent show, you’ll get a special scholarship to a special school. See ya tomorrow. “ He fully exits out of the classroom.
She’s just like her mother, always coming out of nowhere with these surprises. I like to see what else you can do, Yu Lumi.
Sun Rei was standing in the music room alone, she was in deep thoughts, trying to figure out future plans for her second life.
“ I think time for me to change for the better and for the good. Today I am Yu Lumi...no more Sun Rei “
City Mall
Sun Rei was standing in front of the hair salon, staring at the logo. Her plan was to get a new hairstyle since her blonde was not her style, she wants to recreate a new Lumi look.
“ It’s time for me to get a makeover, Yu Lumi...watch me make your life better, let me help you get your happy ending...our happy ending “
