∆∆ UNKNOWN LOCATION
” Li Xue accepted the offer to allow the kids get married?” The lady asked and the boys nodded
” He’s as greedy as ever, I guess he accepted because he didn’t want Shao to go.. he wants his partnership..” she laughed
” I don’t even understand him. He is more wealthy than Zhang Shao then why? Oh poor Ryan..” she laughed again and sobered up almost immediately
” His family issues isn’t my business though…” the lady muttered again drinking from her glass of wine
” You all can go, I will just spend the night here.. ” she told her boys and they nodded before walking out of the mansion.

Remy hissed loudly, leaving the guest room. His brother was unconscious so his mind wasn’t at rest
He took the stairs leading to his room. His mom was sleeping on the couch in the sitting room but He just ignored her presence and entered his room
He sat on his bed and touched Ryan’s forehead to see if he had fever but he didn’t
” I was worried for nothing..”
He stood up and turn to leave when Ryan grabbed his hands..
” I didn’t mean it.. can you stop hating me please..” he said with his eyes shut.
” Tell me that when you’re awake..” Remy removed his hands gently before heading back to the guest room

∆∆ Next morning
Ryan stretched his body as he woke up.
” My room.. doesn’t look like this..” he muttered, looking around the room
” Why am I in Remy’s room?” He wondered, stepping out of bed
” I even have his clothes on ” He touched his body, walking to the mirror
” He considers me his brother? f_ck, I look even more dashing this morning” He smiled, staring at his reflection in the mirror
” You’re still this childish? Tch” Remy scoffed, leaning on the door
” You’re here ” Ryan immediately faced his direction, he smiled slightly and made to walk towards Remy
” Just stay there.. don’t come any closer to me…
” Wait, what am I even saying… You can leave my room now” Remy said, walking into his room fully.
” Thanks for taking care of me ”
” Wh@ťěver, You should go to the hospital for a medical check up.. you don’t look fine..” Remy said.
Ryan couldn’t hold it anymore as he engulfed him into a hug
” What are you doing..?” Remy asked not hugging him back
” Thanks for caring for me.. ” he smiled. Remy’s hands moved up like he wanted to hug him back but he quickly push him off
” Don’t try this next time, boys don’t hug… now leave my room..” Remy said, pushing him towards the door
Ryan chuckled before walking out of the room
” Did he just chuckle? Who told him I was playing with him? He’s still very dumb as always ” he smiled, walking into the bathroom
★★
Ryan left his room heading to the dining table where he met Remy already seated. His stood on the stairs, staring at him
” You can just stand there and watch me eat since you don’t want to” Remy said not looking at him.
Ryan smiled, walking to him. he settled down next to Remy and started eating.. he was still eating when Xue descended the stairs. At first, he thought it was his mom but immediately he knew it was his dad instead, he lost appetite.
” How are you feeling?” Xue asked while Remy scoff lowly
” As if he cares..” he scoffed again as he ate..
Ryan just stood up and left the house, ignoring his dad
” Ryan!! “.. Xue yelled but he gave deaf ears till he got into his car and left the compound
” That’s it baby brother, that’s what I’m talking about ” Remy smiled, standing up
” I hope you have a good day at work chairman Li..” he bowed dramatically before leaving the house too
” What just happened? Did he just ignore me?” Xue asked not wanting to believe Ryan walked out on him despite calling him back
” Your son Ryan, is he trying to disrespect me now?” Xue asked when he sighted leyan, descending the stairs
” Please spare me the unnecessary talk” Leyan replied and with that, she left his presence.

∆∆ EVERGREEN COLLEGE
Mara walked to entered the class and her lips curved into a smile when she sighted him
The guy she likes so much
She smiled even more broadly and started walking to his direction.
Ryan scoff when he sighted her.. Violet wasn’t in school yet. Those in class looked at their direction wondering why Mara was smiling so broadly
” Hey ” she sat beside him..
He didn’t say a word as he just stared at her, trying to suppress the urge of strangling her right there!
” Did your..
” Dad ask you to accept the engagement?” Ryan completed her statement for her
” Your dad really told you as promised?” She asked with a smile
He suddenly pulled her closer to himself and the class gasped. His grip on her arm was so tight that she had to wince silently
” You’re hurting me ” she said, staring at the students who were now looking at them
” Tell that useless father of yours to call off the stupid engagement he’s planning with his fellow senseless man else they’ll die of poison on the day of the engagement..” he whispered and pushed her away from himself roughly
? What’s happening?
? I’m confused too
Mara eyes widened at his words. He glared at her one more time before taking his things and walking out of the class.
