Brain & Heart 2 (TNT X TNT)

Episode 13

“So Haoxiang, Junlin, give the boy a break,” Chengxin addressed them outside the library. “He’ll eventually choose one of you.”

“I wasn’t even competing…” Junlin shrugged.

“Hush, you hear that Haoxiang? Treat him like a friend like he’s always been.”

“Fine whatever.” Haoxiang nodded unhappily.

“Hey wait a minute,” Chengxin counted his friends. “Where’s Yaxuan and Zhenyuan?”

“Watching a movie.” Haoxiang answered with a shrug.

“Together!?”

“Yes?” Both Junlin and Haoxiang answered at the same time.

“You think they like each other?” Chengxin asked spitefully.

“I don’t know Chengxin, don’t you think they get along because you are at the center of both their heartbreaks?” Junlin shrugged. “You’re a terrible person.”

“Don’t remind me of that.” Chengxin rolled his eyes. He was still so uncomfortable with Zhenyuan and Yaxuan’s newfound closure. He felt angry, and he was about to do something which he knew was wrong.

“Finally…” Yaxuan said to himself as he entered his room that evening, feeling tired.

“Read him a story before bed,” Junlin said to Yaxuan as he handed him some books even before he walked in. Junlin had brought his later brother, Zhicheng, to hang out with him. The only problem was that Junlin was leaving for the night so Zhicheng was going to be left in Yaxuan’s care.

“But it’s 23:00! Shouldn’t he be asleep? I have to wake up at 03:00 to study.” Yaxuan cried.

“Knock-knock,” Chengxin said a little while later then entered the room. “What’s Zhicheng doing here? Let’s take him out of our room and take him to Zhenyuan’s.” he lied down on Yaxuan’s bed. “I missed this place.”

“Chengxin, first of all, this is not ‘our’ room, it’s my room.” Yaxuan folded his arms. “And what are you doing here at 23:00?! It’s pretty inappropriate for a RANDOM BOY to come to my room this time.”

“Just say you’re flattered nerd, if you push him too hard they might never come back, and we all know an opportunity like this is once in a life time.” Junlin commented and walked towards the door. He then waved at Zhicheng who was sitting on his bed. “Bye little bro.”

Zhicheng smiled and waved back.

“And since when was I a random boy?” Chengxin raised his eyebrow.

“Why don’t you go sleep in Jiaqi’s room!?” Yaxuan shouted then face palmed. “Sorry Zhicheng, you really shouldn’t see this.”

Ziyi opened the door and gave a surprised face. “You guys are back together!?”

“Get out!” Yaxuan screamed.

“Oh hey Ziyi, can you take Zhicheng? He really doesn’t need to witness what we’re talking about.” Chengxin said.
