THE GAME

Chapter 7

Second Semester...

The University sprung back to life when school resumed. For some like Huaisang and Wei Ying, it was a time to have fun and play new tricks but for Jiang Cheng, it was another four months of babysitting the two.

Wei Wuxian was a bit relieved when Lan QiRen introduced his teaching assistant and did not always need to show up for lectures. On such days Wei Ying annoyed Lan Wangji the most and sat with Huaisang. When he found out the T.A was Wangji's elder brother, Lan Xichen, Wei finally understood why they looked like twins. Lan Xichen, unlike his younger brother, was very pleasant and always put on a smile even when someone pulled pranks during class.

"Why is that arrogant prick now showing his face...I was hoping he wouldn't take this class.", Wei Wuxian leaned towards Huaisang.

"Huh? You know Jin Jixuan?", Huaisang hid his face behind his fan. "That peacock is engaged to my Shijie...We've fought a couple of times when his family visited...Every time I see him, I just want to break his jaw.", Wei Ying sneered.

"Quiet you two, the T.A is teaching!!", Jiang Cheng pulled his brother into a proper sitting position and Wei Ying pouted.

"Is Master Jiang alright?", Lan Xichen suddenly asked when he saw them snickering in their seats and Jiang Cheng froze with a frown on his face.

"Sorry, my brother was just talking about how beautiful your smile is.", Wei Ying answered. Jiang Cheng's mouth dropped and he turned to his brother, thinking of how to kill him. Nie Huaisang placed his fan over his lips and muffled the laughter.

"Oh God, it's this clown again...", a man in golden robes with  vermilion on his forehead sighed when he looked back. Lan Wangji heard him.

The T.A gave a soft smile, "Young Master Wei, I'm flattered, but I think such matters should be kept away from the class."

Wei Ying pouted, "Why so, I'm just helping my brother out... You're totally his type. Look at how his face turned red when you smiled at him." Now everyone else including Wangji turned to look at them. A'Cheng slowly stood up, his fist tightly clenched. He wanted to strangle his brother to death but at the same time wanted to get away from the embarrassment. Without another word he turned and left the class.

"Tch...ZewuJun, I think you broke his heart with that reply...Now I have to excuse myself to console him.", Wei Ying saw a loophole. He turned back when he reached the door, "Umm, I'll be needing Huaisang as well." he quickly run back and grabbed his partner in crime. Everything happened so fast, Xichen could not say another word as his students left. "Just ignore them..", Lan Wangji commented.

Outside, Wei Ying was chased by Jiang Cheng on sight. Huaisang just laughed at the two until he felt he'd burst. "You two are something else... I don't think you can face ZewuJun again.', he said. At lunch, YanLi and Wen Qing were told about it and they also chipped in on the laugh. As they were eating, Xue Yang approached. "You ready?.."

YanLi, "What's happening?"

Wei Ying, "Oh, he says he has something cool to show me"

Jiang Cheng, "Where?"

Xue Yang smirked, "Don't worry, he'll be in safe hands."

Wen Qing, "Xue Chengmei, I never took you for the friendly type?"

Xue Yang smirked, "Humph, I don't make friends...Wei Ying is different."

Wei Ying got up after shoving another dumpling into his mouth. "Don't stress yourself. I'll treat you to a meal when we're done.", Xue Yang handed him a leather jacket and walked to his motorcycle.
