finding love.

" Oh god, Jiang Cheng. You really did that to Wei ge? ", Huaisang widens his eyes at the glaring purple lotus who has his arms cross over his chest. It's recess and they're currently sitting at their usual table, talking about the ruckus the boys had caused in their neighborhood last night. Technically only Wei Ying but the other is also guilty in this case.

Jiang Cheng clicks his tongue, making a ' tch ' sound, " He deserved it. "

Wei Ying defensively slams his palm on the table, not too hard to attract much attention. " No, I don't! "

" Yes, you do. ", Jiang Cheng sneers at his younger brother.

" No, what the hell, I don't. "

" Why are you so angry for? You're having fun anyway. ", he scoffs.

Wei Ying's face becomes warm all of the sudden upon remembering what happened at Lan Zhan's house that morning. He woke up in Lan Zhan's bed- No no, it's not like that. After realising that he might probably habors such feelings towards the latter, the fact that he spent the night on his bed alone is enough to fluster him. Poor Lan Zhan had to sleep on the couch in the living room.

" W-What the hell are you talking about? ", He stammers, eyes widening in embarrassment. Jiang Cheng gives him a funny look. His brows crease into a frown while shooting his brother with a disgusted look.

Nie Huaisang coughs, covering his mouth with his fan, " I think he meant at the festival, Wei-Ge. "

"..uh oh.. ", The panicking boy quickly composed himself, face shades with redder blush than before. " O-Of course we're having fun! We-We even fly the lantern! It's very fun! "

Jiang Cheng and Huaisang give each other a look from the corner of their eyes then shrug their shoulder. Wei Ying looks at them, sweating profusely under his uniform.

" What's with that look? You both don't believe me? "

Huaisang flashes him a grin, " Of course we do. And even if Jiang Cheng's doesn't, I do. "

" Hey- ", The loud sound of Huaisang's fan when he flicks it open cut off Jiang Cheng's words, causing the latter to scoff.

" Hello guys! Can I sit here? ", A cheerful voice suddenly perks up behind them. The trio nod while muttering some ' Sure, why not? '. Wen Ning smiles and plops himself beside Wei Ying with food container in his hand.

Nie Huaisang nudges Jiang Cheng with his elbow with a smirk, leaning closer towards the latter's ear. " Hey, Jiang Cheng. You don't wanna greet your future brother in law? ", Huaisang whispers, earning himself a slap to the head from the blushing boy.

" What are you guys talking about? ", Wen Ning chimes in, munching his sandwich as he stares at the trio curiously.

Jiang Cheng pushes Huaisang's face away from him with his palm. " Nothing. "

" Where's Wangji? ", Huaisang looks around the cafeteria for the missing friend of theirs.

Jiang Cheng takes a sip of his cup of coffee," Our homeroom teacher told Wangji to see him during recess, apparently he needs to discuss something with him. Why? You're gonna ditch me for him like Wei Ying too? ", Jiang Cheng grumbles.

" If you keep glaring at me like that, then yes. "

And that's how the two of them begin their daily quarrel again with Wen Ning helplessly telling them not to hold the fork to someone's eyes like that.

Wei Ying on the other hand seems so deep in thoughts. With his both his elbows on the table and his fingers clasped together, he looks like a stressed man thinking about his life decision. His eyebrows neatly crease into a frown as he stares into nothingness completely ignoring whatever his friend's conversation is about.

He bit on his lower lips. ' Damn.. Do I really like Lan Zhan? ', He silently thought. He never felt that way around any girls he flirted with. Hell, he never felt that way around anyone. Anyone but this brunnete friend of his.

The boy tightly shuts his eyes closed, sighing heavily. ' Shit. Lan Zhan is a boy, Wei Wuxian. Why are you having these kind of feelings. These... pleasant kind of feelings. All these things... He can't really be attracted to Lan Zhan.. This isn't normal right? '

He snaps his eyes open at that question that suddenly emerges in his shallow head, ' This isn't normal? ' But how does he knows it isn't normal. What if he's wrong? Who is there to prove that these feelings he's having recently aren't normal?

" Maybe it's normal after all. ", Wei Ying mutters under his breath, eyes wide open in realization.

The boy snaps his head towards the three boys beside him, who are currently busy talking about whatever their conversation is about.

These feelings are normal. Jiang Cheng, Huaisang and even Wen Ning must be having these feelings too when they spent times with their favourite bros. He flicks his finger together, smiling proudly. That must be it! Damn. Sometimes, my intelligence.. is almost frightening.

" Did you lose your brain cells after getting flustered by that one question? Why are you smiling like that? ", Jiang Cheng looks his brother weirdly.

Wen Ning tilts his head, staring at Wei Ying curiously, " What question? "

Huaisang shots a smirk which this time goes noticed by Wei Ying, " Ooh, it's about- "

Wei Ying clears his throat, clasping his hand together catching all of their attention, " Well, talking about question. I have a question to ask you guys. ", He stares at them, serious written all over his face.

" What is it? "

Wei Ying crosses his arms over his chest, standing up from his seat. Jiang Cheng and Huaisang are both confused for the sudden weird behavior of this friend of them. Well, he's weird everyday but he is being extra weird today.

" I figure all of you guys had a crush on someone before, right? ", Wei Ying asks, slowly walking around the table as if he's interrogating them.

Jiang Cheng rests his face on his palm, looking rather uninterested as he mutters a ' Duh. ' under his breath while Huaisang just fans himself, lips curving into a smirk, " Of course. "

Wen Ning shakes his head innocently, " I haven't... "

Wei Ying pats Wen Ning's head, " I know. I'll be shocked if you do. "

" As for you two.. ", He turns his head to Jiang Cheng and Huaisang. " How do you know when you like that someone? "

Huaisang smirks, resting his face on both his palm while tilting his head questioningly at Wei Ying. " Why are you asking us this? Do you like someone? "

" Just answer the damn question. ", Wei Ying flicks the back of Huaisang's head, causing the latter to rub the spot while frowning at the taller boy.

" It's easy. Do you get jealous when she's with another boy? If you do, then yes. You like her. "

Wei Ying stops in his tracks with his mouth wide agapes, thinking silently to himself, ' Do I get jealous? So far, I don't get jealous when any girl approached Lan Zhan.. It's just these funny feelings in my stomach.. I don't think that's jealousy.. May- "

" Do you seriously lost your brain cells? Why stop talking all of the sudden? ", Jiang Cheng raises a brow.

The other two boys stares at Wei Ying, eyes showing concern. " You're acting weird. Is there anything wrong? " Wen Ning joins in their conversation, munching on his last sandwich.

" What do you mean? Wei Ying always acts weird. Ow- ", Jiang Cheng rubs his left arm where Wei Ying just punched him.

" Watch your mouth. ", The younger warns, withdrawing back his hand to his side.

Huaisang nods his head, closing his fans and bringing it to his right cheek, " I agree with Jiang Cheng. But his idea is too risky. It maybe hurts you while you're at it. "

" Hurt me? "

A light chuckles left Huaisang's lips, " Not just you, but your feelings too. It's not a pleasant thing. Trust me. "

Wei Ying plops down on his seat back, scratching the back of his head in confusion, " So what should I do now? "

" Easy. ", he same smirk makes its way to the corner of the shorter's lips, " Make her jealous instead. If she's jealous then she surely likes you. "

Wei Ying widens his eyes. That's one incredible idea! How can a dumb head ranked last in class every year is able to come up with an idea like this. He points his finger at Huaisang while breaking into a wide grin.

" Yes, that is it! I just need to make him jealous! ", Wei Ying exclaims excitedly, jumping from his seat and slings an arm around Huaisang's shoulders.

" Thank you so much! This stupid head of yours sometimes give off some real good ideas. ", He ruffles the shorter boy's locks with balled fist, causing the poor boy to hold his head, trying to stop the culprit from messing with his hair. " Wei Ge. Stop!

" Hehe. ", He gifts Huaisang one last slap on his back before scurriedly walking away from the cafeteria. " Thanks I owe you one! ", and with that, the boy dashed out from the scene.

The poor boy rubs his head, " What's wrong with him today? "

Wen Ning's eyes follow the boy who just ran off, " Am I hearing things or did he just said ' him ' ? ", He questions, staring at the two guys in front of him who just shrug their shoulder.

" Meh. "
