A young Ling Tong looks at the person who was being brought over to his camp today. This is not good. They had dumped another person; this is the fourth in this week. She seems to be around his age or younger, taller than their princess and…

Wait, this is the infamous young girl who had switched five units within 3 months.

She did not look happy though; her face seems to be scrunched up in constant annoyance and she looks like someone who he does not want to talk to. In fact, Ling Tong wonders if her face was like this all the time. He was about to pass a remark about her face when his father came over.

"You are Yu Yi?" she nods, arms folded across her chest. Another thing, she seems to have attitude issues.

"This is my boy, Gongji, she would be under your charge from today onwards." His father smiles to the son who tries his best to hide his annoyance. Great, his father told him earlier this morning that he would be getting someone under him. The little boy was looking forward to having a lackey to order around but this girl...

She is definitely not someone he could mess with easily.

When Ling Cao left them alone, Ling Tong lets out the longest sigh Yu Yi had ever heard in her life.

"Ling Tong." He sighs. What the heck had Sun Jian been thinking to push this girl over to their unit?! She should be with Sun Shang Xiang in her special…

"They threw me out." She tells Ling Tong. "Don't ask." She stops him before he could voice out his questions.

Well, for one, he has to admit that she is pretty perceptive for her age.

That sums up the first conversation between Ling Tong and Yu Yi.

"LORD LING TONG'S BACK!" a young lady with her face buried in the numerous books leaps up from the pile of documents and shots up from her seat to rush out to receive the said person.

A tall young man came into view and he had a bottle of wine tucked in his arm while he was making his way over to her. He smirks at the young lady before bumping the bottle of wine in her head lightly; she punches him in retaliation, making him jerk.

"Same place?" she asks him, putting the wine down on one of the tables in the room.

"Yes. Get Yan Qing and Ling Yi over too."

"Alcoholic." She tells him off, returning to the documents she was studying earlier.

"Slacker. I bet you must've been sleeping with your face in the documents before I came in." he pokes the back of Yu Yi's head while preparing to change out of his armour.

"Lord Zhou Yu is a slave-driver…" she groans. "He's not that hard on Boyan but I get all the tough questions. He must've had it tough from Lady Xiao Qiao…"

Ling Tong pauses in the middle of taking his shirt off in front of the grumpy and complaining Yu Yi. He was expecting some form of reaction from her but she was too caught up in complaining about how twisted the most famous Wu strategist is to notice that. This is odd. He had these odd feelings from spending time with her so he tries to shake it off by drinking whenever they are out alone or in a group but it seems to him that she is not as affected by his presence at all.

Was she too caught up in complaining that she had failed to notice that he is all grown-up now?

Then, she stops in the middle of her ranting to look at him. He could feel his face heating up when Yu Yi stared at him hard. The same feelings of anxiety is tempting him to grab the bottle of wine nearby.

After a long awkward moment, she starts talking.

"You got fat." She frowns.

"That's all?" Ling Tong was visibly insulted.

"Stop drinking so much." She tells him, attention returning to her documents.

"Its muscles, Lady Yi, take a better look, these are muscles that you'll never possess!" he walks in front of her to show his abs off. She ignored him and was in deep thought about how on earth she could come up with an answer to the question Zhou Yu had posted to her as homework. That grumpy face is something which had not changed after all these years. This is especially so when she is in deep thought but it is rather charming to him. She has the habit of poutinh in front of him when she is thinking hard.

Seeing no response from his long-time friend, Ling Tong snatches the items underneath her nose to get her attention. He got her attention but she was trying to hold onto the item. She looks up to him, eyes glaring daggers at him and fighting against his grip on her book. He had assumed that she had not been training while he was off accompanying his father to battle but he was wrong.

Her grip on her book was rivalling his.

"Let go." She hisses at him.

"YOU let go."

"No, YOU better let go." She snarls at the young officer.

"I'm not, Mr Yu." There was annoyance in her eyes when she hears this. No, she has to stay firm in this tug-of-war against him. She has to do something.

"Bed wetter Gongji." She could see the effects of her words on the teen; he was slightly red in his ears. "Aren't you changing out of your pants too? You'll wet your damn pants every time when we are out in the…"

"HEY! THAT'S CHEATING!" he lets go of the book immediately to point at her. However, that made Yu Yi fall back and almost toppling off from her chair. He starts laughing at the sight of his friend almost losing her balance on the chair and the next thing to fly into his general direction was the ink stone.

For one, she might not be a skilled fighter but she has raw strength to back her up. In fact, she got her nickname 'Mr Yu' not from her physical appearance; it was from her physical strength. There were times Ling Tong wonder how in the world a woman of her frame and size could be this strong. The brute strength, when coupled with her foul mouth and headstrong personality, her looks are unable to save her from spending the rest of her miserable life as a spinster.

Well, if he is able to convince his father to let him…

The ink stone missed him but…a stool is a lot bigger so…Ling Tong prepares to leave.

With his head bleeding.

To the medic.

Yu Yi ignores the person to continue on with her homework. It is better to make him bleed than to hand in her assignment late to Zhou Yu. Also, if Ling Tong really wanted to go drinking with the usual gang, he should know that she has to finish her work as soon as possible to join them. After all, it is always better to risk cracking Ling Tong's skull than getting into trouble with Zhou Yu.
