"You take him to the exam center, I have an important meeting to get to," Xiao Zhi Ren was talking to Ji Syaoran while they were exiting through the electronic doors of the condominium building.

"I can drop him off but where is he?" Ji Syaoran asked rather inquisitively.

Xiao Zhi Ren looked at his Rolex Daytona watch as he said, "He was going to look for Rong. I don't know what's taking him so long."

"I think I know." Xiao Zhi Ren followed Ji Syaoran's gaze and saw Ru rubbing Xiao Zhi Yuan's head like a pet. "Hadn't he been against people touching his hair?" Ji Syaoran asked curiously.

"I guess Rong doesn't come in those people." Xiao Zhi Ren answered with a small smile playing on his lips. Then he called out to Yuan, "Little brother, it's time to go. Ran Zi will take you and he'll be there to pick you up as well."

Xiao Zhi Yuan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Sh*t! I can't pick him up, bro." Ji Syaoran suddenly cursed out receiving a deathly glare from his elder brother. Trying to maintain his courage, he said, "I mean, I have to go to the football club. I completely forgot about it."

"Mr. I'm-being-subtle actually play football?" Ru asked being all nosy. You know precisely not minding her own bloody business!

"Mr. Xie, can you stop calling me that? And yes, I do have a membership for a football club. That's the only sport I love." Ji Syaoran even flaunted his VIP membership card with pride.

"Thank goodness! At least someone is normal here." Saying that she gave him a fist bump excitedly and said, "Bro, it's so good to find a football person. I was tired of that soccer person." She was obviously pointing at Xiao Zhi Ren while saying that.

Xiao Zhi Ren really didn't want to argue at this point. So, he said, "Ran Zi, Yuan is getting late. Get out of here!" Ji Syaoran felt a dangerous edge to his brother's voice. As if he was hitting on his brother's girlfriend or something. He really wanted to ask, 'Why are you eating vinegar?' but didn't since he didn't want Xiao Zhi Ren to tie him up under the sun all over again.

Ji Syaoran immediately took Xiao Zhi Yuan sprinted away.

"Bloody hell! I was gonna ask him to have a match with me sometime." Ru clicked her tongue as she mumbled peevishly. She sighed out and made her way inside.

"Didn't she see me here?" Xiao Zhi Ren questioned to himself with a frown as she had just walked right past him as if he was non-existent. He briskly walked to catch up to her and blocked her way. "Are you ignoring me?"

"Oh, hi! Zhi Hyung didn't see you there..." That was a lie and even Xiao Zhi Ren could tell. "Anyway, what's up?"

"I'm socially programmed to say, 'not much'." Xiao Zhi Ren used her own way to answer the question of 'what's up'.

"Haha... That's funny but true." Ru remarked while trying hard to act normal. 'Young master Ru, we decided it was accidental! No big deal at all! Get a grip!' With that monologue, she took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't you getting late?"

"I do have a meeting..." Xiao Zhi Ren drawled his words.

"Oh, right! Come to Grand Royale Clubhouse by 7 tonight." Ru told him getting back her usual stance.

"What for?" He asked.

"For your anticipated meeting with Alev Knight. Don't be late, he hates waiting." Ru reminded him sternly to show how serious she was about this.

"Hates waiting? Just like you?" Xiao Zhi Ren couldn't tell why it came to his mind just now.

"Yup! You are right. In a way, he's just like me. So, don't sod... I mean, piss him off. He won't be as polite as I am." Ru said with a smirk as her conscious nagged, 'Can't you stop boasting about your own alter ego?' Ru snapped back. 'Each of my alter ego has its own eccentric personality, it's not my fault.'

Xiao Zhi Ren kept quiet observing the look on her face and those bright eyes as they twinkled when she talked about Alev Knight. He gritted his teeth indignantly.

"Will you be there?" He asked rather sulkily.

"Huh? No. I have... Stuff to do." She said while she avoided his eyes. 'Of course, I'll be there! How else would Alev come?'

"Don't you have to meet a good friend?" The way he said 'good friend' didn't sit well with her but she ignored it.

"Your meeting with him will last for an hour or so. For the rest of the time, he's all mine to keep." Ru said whatever came to her mind.
