"Jian-Ge, you’re getting married!" Azalea happily announced as she walked up to the group.
"Don’t joke around, Zelie!" He Jian warned Azalea making her pout.
"I’m not joking. I just heard it while I was sitting closer to the parents." Azalea answered smugly.
"Are you serious? Who’s the girl?" Xu Mey asked excitedly.
"Xiao Mey! Seriously?" He Jian gave her disapproving look which Xu Mey ignored completely.
"Relax, Jian-Ge!" Then she turned back to Azalea. "So, who’s the girl?"
"That I don’t know..." Azalea made a sad face which instantly brightened when she saw Wu Wang walking towards them. "Ah, Wang-Ge would know." Everyone turned to see Wu Wang who looked lost under their curious gazes.
"What do I know?" Wu Wang asked.
"About Jian-Ge’s marriage candidate," Xu Mey helped him walk through this talk.
"I don’t know anything," Wu Wang denied all the facts making Azalea glare at him.
"Hey, Wang-Ge! Your mother is the one looking for the candidates and as much as I know Auntie Bingbing, she always tells you everything." Azalea turned to speak mawkishly as she added, "Ge, just tell us the name."
"Wang, what are you hiding?" He Jian asked in a stern tone.
"I’m not trying to hide anything. Mom just asked me not to tell you yet." Wu Wang said calmly which was surprising considering his state of mind at the moment.
"You already know that I don’t want to get marry," He Jian was furious by now.
Wu Wang rolled his eyes. "And what are you planning on doing? Spending the rest of your life with the memories of my sister who is buried six feet under the ground?"
"Wang!" He Jian raised his voice a bit.
"Shut up, Jian! Anyhow, you have no way to get out of this marriage proposal. No matter what you do." Wu Wang announced rather confidently.
"Wang-Ge, but tell us who she is," Xu Mey shook Wu Wang a bit.
"Xiao Mey, I can’t tell you her name. But I can tell you that she’s from Imperial city and also, the young miss of a reputable household." Wu Wang answered plainly.
"Is she pretty?" Azalea asked this childish question making Wu Wang tousle her hair like a kid.
"Yes, she is very pretty. Not only pretty, but she’s also well mannered and well accomplished in life. All by herself." Wu Wang told everyone with the same calmness he had before.
"Now, I’m really curious." Xu Mey grumbled by his side. "What’s her profession? You can at least tell us that."
"Hmm..." Wu Wang pondered for a while before answering, "She’s a wedding planner."
"Oh, cool!" Azalea commented excitedly.
"Is she the same famous wedding planner who your mother has hired for my wedding?" Lin Shen asked Wu Wang with a raise of his brow.
"Damn it! I still gave it away," Wu Wang cursed under his breath and cleared his throat before saying, "I don’t know anything." He ran away leaving everyone curious to know more. Since Wu Wang’s mother went herself, the girl must be someone extraordinary.
On the other side, Ye Jie had walked up to Ye Jun’s side with a strained smile. "Why are you hiding here?" Ye Jie asked his younger brother.
"Not hiding. I’m just giving Jun Li Na company." Ye Jun replied with the best smile he could muster up.
"My little brother is all grown up for love," Ye Jie remarked since he had heard the way Ye Jun managed everything with Jun Li Na.
"I learned from the best," Ye Jun replied.
"Really? Who’s this best person?" Ye Jie asked curiously.
"He’s is right here," Ye Jun pointed his finger at Ye Jie’s face making him chuckle.
"You’re saying that you learned it all from me?" Ye Jie asked amusingly.
"Yup!" Ye Jun popped the ’p’ unnecessarily. They both fell silent for a while before Ye Jun managed to speak up, "Bro, I think we need to talk."
Ye Jie stiffened a bit before he looked into Ye Jun’s eyes seeing the same feeling he had in his own eyes; fear. Both brothers were scared of losing each other to the extent that they pretended to know nothing for years.
"I know," Ye Jie answered and went on, "Let’s do it tomorrow?" Ye Jie looked expectantly into Ye Jun’s eyes.
Ye Jun nodded and asked, "Bro, after that talk... you’ll still be my brother, right?" Ye Jun felt really nervous and scared in his heart.
Ye Jie pulled him in for a hug and said, "Idiot! We’ll always be brothers. No matter what."
"I like the sound of that," Ye Jun said in a choked up voice.
"Woah! I almost forgot, where is my gift?" Ye Jie pulled away from Ye Jun and inquired wiggling his brows.
"Erm... Um..." Ye Jun scratched the tip of his nose sheepishly.
"What? Erm... Um... That won’t work right now. I want my gift," Ye Jie extended his hand gesturing Ye Jun to place the gift in his empty hand. "Oh My God! You forgot the gift? What kind of a brother are you?" Ye Jie made a shocked face dramatically.
"No, no... I have a gift." Ye Jun said hesitantly.
"Oh, really? Where is it? Most importantly, what is it?" Ye Jie questioned looking suspiciously at Ye Jun.
"Your gift is at your service, Sire!" Ye Jun made a saluting pose making Ye Jie’s face turn black. Ye Jun made an adorable face and with ’Nyan Nyan’ pose said, "Aren’t I cute as a gift?"
That pose ticked Ye Jie so off that raised his clenched fist but stopped inches away from Ye Jun’s face. "Are you kidding me?" Ye Jie roared with a glare.
Ye Jun’s lips turned downwards as he whined, "You’re getting such an adorable brother as a birthday present. How can you be mean to him?"
"You’re impossible! You haven’t even gotten a girlfriend but you already have forgotten your brother. What will happen after you actually managed to woo Jun Li Na? You might not even look at me." Ye Jie muttered to himself as he went on, "Today, I’m realizing how Ru must have felt when I chose Xu Mey over her."
"What are you mumbling to yourself?" Ye Jun asked curiously.
"Nothing!" Ye Jie snapped at him. "Now, stay away from me. You’re a... sloppy brother."
Ye Jun stared with his mouth agape at Ye Jie and said, "Oh, bro! Do you know that there is a bright red hickey on your collarbone?"
Ye Jie froze in his track and looked down. True enough, there was a bright red mark on his collarbone. "Sh*t!" He cursed and was trying to button up the top buttons of his shirts.
"Bro, don’t bother buttoning up the shirt. You’ve already flaunted that with pride." Ye Jun was trying to muffle his laughter when Ye Jie passed a deadly glare to him.
