I'm trying to deepen the plot of this story. Please let me know if you don't like the direction it is heading. It might take some time before my next update though. Hope you won't give up on me.

Gui pulled Prince into his arms. His deep violet eyes were looking into her rose-red ones. His hand reached up to her face and touched her soft skin gently. She trembled slightly in his arms. "Gui.." Prince started but Gui place his fingers on her soft lips and silenced her. Prince was blushing deeply. Gui leaned forward and kissed her. It was ecstasy. Her lips were so soft and sweet. He deepened the kiss with desire. She returned his kiss with equal force. He fingered her elf ears and traced down her slender neck. She moaned into his mouth. This excited the Demon Bard and he trailed his hand up her arm sending shivers down her spine. He released her mouth and looked into her gorgeous eyes longingly, "I Love You …" he whispered huskily. Prince smiled and replied, "I…"

Briiiinggg!

Min fell off his bed with a dishevelled look. "Stupid alarm clock!" he yelled. He sulked. Prince was going to tell me he loved me! Just when I was getting to the good part… dejected he got up and headed towards the bathroom. He did not log into Second Life last night as he still had a lot of assignments to look at. Besides he thought Prince would just be mad if he saw him anyway. However that dream was God sent he thought as he stripped to shower. That kiss he thought, as the warm shower trickled down his lean athletic body, was mind-blowing. 'Ever since he turned into a girl I have been weird. Real weird.' It awoke desires in him that he didn't dare to ponder before. 'I am so perverted!' he thought and turned the water to cold to soothe his growing desires.

Feng Lan was shocked when Professor Min walked into the room. 'What is he doing here?' she thought. She nudged Jing who looked as stunned as she was. Recovering quickly Jing threw a meaningful glance towards Yun who immediately shot his hand in the air.

"Er…Professor, why are you here? Where is Professor Soong?"

"She had some personal matters to attend to. I will be replacing her. Is everyone here?"

"Yup!" a blond girl answered enthusiastically.

"Okay then please do a head count." He ordered. The girl quickly counted and said, "15 of us Professor."

Feng Lan was still stunned, she didn't know what to think. She had been in the Charity Club for only 2 months. She loved Professor Soong's motherly warmth and touching stories that she always told them. Zhuo Ge Ge was the one that suggested Feng Lan to enter the club since he was a member as well. However, he couldn't make it today as he had research field work to do. She was also still bothered by what had happened in Second Life. Gui hadn't logged in yesterday. Was it because of her? Well she had been really mad but…

"Feng Lan…" she heard her name and she snapped her head up to face an annoyed Min.

"Er…" she started uncertainly and blushed as she felt several pairs of eyes on her. She had been lost in her thoughts and did not listen to what Professor Min was saying. Jing and Yun stifled their giggles.

Sighing at his absent minded student he continued, "I said, Feng Lan, you will be in charge of the toys," as he pointed to a black bag sitting on the table in front of him. "Yun you bring the books and everyone else let's get going!"

Jing sensing her friend's uneasiness decided to further agitate her. "Well you will be stuck with him the whole day…" Lan glared at her best friend and walked off. 'This is going to be a long day,' she sighed.

When they arrived at the orphanage, they were greeted by a young man that seemed to be about a few years older than Professor Min. He wore glasses and looked a bit goofy. He extended his hand and introduced himself to the good-looking professor who took it in a handshake.

"Welcome, you must be Professor Min, Professor Soong informed us about you. I am Zhang Zhi Ming, the person in charge of this place."

Min smiled, "Nice to meet you Mr. Zhang and these are my students," he said as he indicated to the group behind him. Some waved while others just nodded or smiled.

Zhang smiled dreamily and said, "It's nice to be young… I believe the kids would really enjoy the company. Actually professor we already have a program at hand and we have decided to divide your students and our kids into groups so that they can have more in depth interaction. Would you mind stepping inside my office so that I can have a run through with you before we go through it with your students?"

"Sure, then let's get started."

A few minutes later, the students were divided into groups of 3 and each group had 4 to 5 charges. All the children in the orphanage were below 12 so that was why they indicated that only authorised people would be allowed to enter to avoid exploitation of the young children there.

Lan was grouped together with Lu Jing and Yun Fei. They had 5 charges aged from 5 to 11. The youngest boy in the group immediately took a liking towards Lan and stuck to her.

"Looks like Xiao Bing here likes you a lot Xiao Lan." Jing teased. The adorable 5 year old continued to clutch onto Lan's jeans and peered at the others shyly. He gave them a shy smile. Lan melted and immediately lifted him up and gave him a hug.

The other kids looked at the teenagers not knowing what to do. Yun broke the ice and suggested that they play ball. So Lan was left to deal with the 5 year old in her arms.

"Mm… Xiao Bing, do you want to learn how to fly a kite?" Lan asked as she set him down on his feet.

He bobbed his head up and down.

"Lan Jie Jie, the kite is up there!" indicated the adorable 5 year old as he looked at Lan with innocent puppy dog eyes. She looked at the child then at the tree. 'The tree isn't that tall' she thought. 'Luckily I'm wearing jeans today.' True enough the kite was just hanging from the second branch of the tree and wasn't really that far off the ground. She could easily climb up the first branch and reach for it.

Lan started climbing the tree all the while wishing she had Prince's agility and strength. One leap would have done the job she thought longingly. She managed to grasp the kite and waved it triumphantly at the child that was jumping up and down under the tree clapping his hands. She smiled. 'Cute kid,' she thought.

Just as Lan was making her descend a ball came whizzing towards her, she managed to dodge it but she lost her footing and was starting to fall. 'Oh no!' she thought as she desperately tried to grab onto something but to no avail.

Feng Lan braced herself for her fall and squeezed her eyes shut waiting for the impact. Oof!

She opened her eyes and found herself staring into two warm brown eyes. Strong hands were holding on to her. She couldn't tear her gaze away from those beautiful eyes that were boring deep into her own light brown ones. He's gaze was intense and it took all of her control to not melt under the force of his gaze. She was momentarily stunned and oblivious to her surroundings. It felt so safe and warm to be held by those arms that didn't seem like they wanted to let her go.

From afar Min saw Feng Lan climbing a tree. 'What is that girl doing?' he thought as he watched her. When Feng Lan managed to grab the kite and waved it enthusiastically at the kid below her, Min couldn't help smiling while thinking, 'Such an energetic and brash girl' suddenly his mind did a superimposing image of Feng Lan's triumphant smile with Prince's when he was victorious. Min was momentarily stunned when he noticed the striking similarities. He tried to shake away his absurd thoughts. 'I must miss him too much!' His train of thoughts were disrupted when he noticed a ball nearly hitting Feng Lan. She started to slip. Without a second thought he ran over and held out his arms and managed to catch her just in time. To reduce the impact of the fall on both of them, he had bent his knees to absorb the impact.

She had her eyes closed. Min took the opportunity to study the features of the girl in his arms. She was rather cute up close and she really did resemble Prince a little. Lan opened her eyes slowly. Min nearly gasped when he looked into her eyes. His heart was beating madly. They were definitely Prince's eyes. How could he have been so blind? He didn't care how she managed to change her gender in the game, but this girl in his arms right now was definitely his beloved Prince. He was sure. Her eyes were exactly the same as Prince's the only difference would be the colour but there was no mistaking the intensity of her gazes. They were exactly the same. Especially with Prince in the form she is now. The features were all just too similar. No wonder nobody could find out who the real Prince was. Who would have thought that he was a girl? And to think he even mistook her brother for her. He nearly slapped himself for being so stupid.

"Er… professor? You can put me down now." Lan said snapping Min out of his astounded thoughts. He reluctantly set her down still flustered with his revelation. She was blushing so she turned her face away from him.

"Feng Lan, do you play Second Life?" Min enquired suddenly.

Lan was surprised and she panicked but before she could think of an answer she felt someone tug her jeans. It was Xiao Bing and he looked like he was close to tears. His cute round eyes were already brimming with tears. Lan immediately kneeled down and took the little child into her arms.

"Lan Jie Jie, please don't die. I'll be good. Don't die!" he sobbed. Lan was surprised.

"Xiao Bing… I'm alright, don't worry. I'm not going to die. Here look I got your kite for you." the kid looked at the kite then back at Lan.

"I don't want it anymore. I want Lan jie Jie to be safe." Lan's heart absolutely melted away. She lifted the kid and he buried his little head in the crook of her neck. Min stared at the scene before him and thought, 'I wish I could do that,' shaking away his thoughts he extended his arms. "Here, let me hold him for you." he offered. However Xiao Bing refused to be separated from Lan and tightened his grip on her. In the end Lan carried him all the way back to the orphanage. By then the little angel had already fallen asleep in her arms.

They learned that Xiao Bing was sent to the orphanage when he was 4. His parents and elder sister had passed away in an accident. It so happened that Feng Lan looked a lot like his elder sister. That probably explained why he was so attached to her. Feng Lan stroked the little boy's head as he slept and looked at him with sad eyes. 'Poor boy' she thought. 'I'll definitely come back to visit him more often.' She dropped a kiss on his forehead and he smiled in his sleep.

Min looked on with envy. He couldn't believe that he was jealous at a 5 year old. He laughed dryly in his thoughts.

On the journey back, Jing immediately attacked Lan. Apparently, the ball that had 'whizzed pass' Lan was her doing. Though it wasn't deliberate. She had wanted to run over to save Lan but Min had beat her to it. When she saw the professor she had immediately backed off. Now she was trying to extract the details from Lan.

"What? He asked you that?" Jing exclaimed.

"Shh.. .don't be so loud! He might hear you!" Lan whispered as she glanced nervously at the professor who was sitting 5 rows away from them.

"Then you think he knows?" Jing asked amused.

"I don't know…" she confessed.

On the other hand, Min was sitting in silence oblivious to the attempts of a certain blond girl who was trying to get his attention. He was surprised by his own calmness when he realised that Feng Lan was Prince. He was happy too, although he had promised Prince that he would love him no matter who he was, it didn't hurt that he was actually a girl. He had actually gone through hell when he initially realised that he loved Prince.

He went through all the bits and pieces in his mind. Everything fell into place. The similarity in their features, the way they act and even the way they talk are the same. No wonder Feng Lan was glaring at him that morning. He chuckled softly. How dense of me.

Since she doesn't want me to find out who she is, then I won't let her know that I've found out until she tells me. He decided.

Then suddenly a thought hit him and he grinned. 'She said I wasn't supposed to get within a 2 meter radius of her in Second Life, but she said nothing about it in real life. This is going to be fun!'

Ok so he found out… hope it seems realistic. I'm going for a mischievous feel. Oh and I hope you guys like Xiao Bing. His name literally means Little Ice.
