Brain & Heart (TNT x TNT)

Episode 17

"How can Dr. Zhang give me this grade!? You're trash Dr. Zhang! Trash!" Junlin declared, imitating Chengxin in class the next morning.

"Yeah and how can my dad deny to give me more money!? You're trash dad! Trash!" Yaowen imitated him next and laughed.

"What's going on?" Haoxiang was the only one who didn't understand.

Chengxin walked over and sat down. "Hey guys."

Having recently remembered the previous day's events between Chengxin and Yaxuan, Junlin couldn't stop laughing hysterically.

Chengxin already knew what Junlin was laughing at so he glared at him. "Maybe it's time you grow up and stop laughing at people's serious issues."

Dr. Zhang walked into the classroom.

"Alright, alright, let's get started." He said. "We have presentations today and the first to present is...Song Yaxuan."

The boys looked at Chengxin and hid a chuckle.

Chengxin felt uncomfortable so he grabbed his bag. "I'm going out."

"To Jiaqi's??" Haoxing asked him.

Chengxin did not waste time replying. He simply got up and walked out the door.

Just then, Yaxuan was running with his charts to class because he was late. He bumped into Chengxin who was leaving in the corridor, and he dropped his things.

"Sorry," Yaxuan fixed his glasses and started to collect his things from the floor. He groaned as he picked them up.

"Are you okay?" Chengxin asked.

Yaxuan nodded. "I've just been having some trouble. I went to the hospital and they said they found pills in my blood again. Which is weird because I don't even take pills."

"Oh," Chengxin sighed. "Well I hope you feel better soon. We can go out to somewhere to distract you."

Yaxuan looked up at Chengxin then stood. "Chengxin, you do not want to be seen in public with me…and I wanted to say, I didn’t take your kiss for granted," he smiled. "Have fun…wherever you are going, see you around."

"Wait Yaxuan!" Chengxin suddenly grabbed him. "I think I like you too and I was wondering if...if you'd wanna be my boyfriend."

"What!?" Yaxuan dropped his charts in shock this time. Even though he had presentations, he was wasting his time outside with Chengxin. "But you have Jiaqi."

"Jiaqi isn't my boyfriend," Chengxin got on his knees and picked up the charts for Yaxuan, then stood. "He is just a playmate."

"So you want to date me?" Yaxuan couldn't hide that he was flattered yet at the same time offended.

Chengxin nodded. "Yeah."

"So you'll stop seeing Jiaqi?" Yaxuan asked in surprise.

"Of course not, but you'll be my boyfriend and Jiaqi will be my playmate." Chengxin told him.

Yaxuan gawked. "You're disgusting!"

"But..."

Chengxin didn't even finish his sentence because Yaxuan had snatched the charts from him and ran into the classroom.

"Sorry I'm late!" He announced with a shaky voice as he headed to the front. He started his presentation, but he was a bit distracted.

He couldn't believe he was considering Chengxin's request despite how wrong it was. Was it perhaps better to have a little taste of Chengxin rather than not have any at all?
