Chapter 5 — Likes My Brother's Roommate

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, a series of questions left me stunned. Oh my god, I really know the entire content of the post by heart. I looked at his angry appearance and almost couldn't help but laugh. I tried to suppress my laughter, lowered my head, pretending to be touched, tears welling up in my eyes. "Actually... he also has his advantages." "What example?" Trinh Tham asked urgently. "For example... he's very handsome when playing football?" I racked my brain and thought until I could come up with such a sentence. Trinh Tham's expression immediately stiffened. Maybe he didn't expect that I would love so blindly. He was silent for a long time, then with difficulty opened his mouth. "So what about other than that?" "Um... he gave you pocket money?" Trinh Tham's face became more and more ugly. "So you're with him just for the money?" His voice carried a trace of disappointment. I quickly shook my head. "Of course not!" I raised my head, my eyes sparkling at him. "Mainly because... I like him." Trinh Tham was completely speechless. He looked at me, disappointment and heartache filled his eyes. It's like looking at a girl who's lost her way, sinking deep into the mud and unable to get out on her own. Seeing him look at me like that, I also felt a little guilty. Haven't I acted a bit too much? At that moment, my brother walked out of the dining room. "What are you two doing? When you went to the bathroom, you felt like you fell into a hole." My brother saw us standing together and frowned slightly. "Trinh Tham, what did you say to my sister?" My brother's voice carried a bit of caution. I quickly reconciled. "It's nothing, just talking about random things." I pulled my brother's hand. "Brother, let's go home, I'm full." Luc Du said "yeah" and didn't ask anything else. Before leaving, I turned to look at Trinh Tham. He remained standing in place, like a statue. As I passed him, I heard a sentence so soft that it was almost inaudible. "He's not worthy of you." My steps stopped, pretending not to hear, letting my brother drag me away. Returning to the dormitory, I lay on the bed, remembering Trinh Tham's miserable appearance, laughing so much that I rolled on the bed. It's so fun, it's so fun. Really happy to faint. I decided, this game, I have to continue playing. Over the next few days, I pushed harder. I started appearing regularly in my brother's dormitory. Sometimes I bring him food, sometimes I take him out for a walk. Every time, I am sure Trinh Tham is present. For example, I carried two large bags of snacks, panted and called my brother. "Brother, I bought you a lot of delicious food, come down and get it, it's too heavy." On the other end of the line, Luc Du's voice sounded very annoyed. "Bring it yourself, I'm playing a game." "But the dorm manager won't let me come up." "Then you wait, I'll finish this game." Then, the call was cut off. I stood under the dormitory, carrying two large bags of food, pretending to look pitiful. Sure enough, in less than three minutes, Trinh Tham walked out of the building. He wore a simple white t-shirt and black pants. He was tall and had a cool aura that stood out among the crowd. He walked in front of me and naturally took the bag in my hand. "Let me help you carry it." His voice was light, not revealing any emotions. But I saw, in his eyes looking at me, there was a fleeting trace of sadness. The little devil in my arms screamed happily. "Thank you, Trinh Tham." I smiled sweetly at him. "Nothing." He picked up his bag and turned around to go inside. I walked behind him, looking at that tall back, the corner of my lips curled up as much as possible. At the door of the room, he gave the bag to my brother. Luc Du was wearing headphones, typing on the keyboard like crazy. "Shots! You guys playing like crazy in the jungle?!" He saw the bag in Trinh Tham's hand and suddenly remembered. "Ah, thank you, bro." Okay,

He turned his head and continued playing the game, not bothering to look up. Trinh Tham stood in front of the door, looking at this scene, his face turned a little darker. I immediately walked over, took out a bottle of water from my bag, and gave it to my brother. "Brother, drink some water, don't just play games." Luc Du angrily waved his hand. "Leave it there, I'm busy." I opened a package of potato chips again, bringing it to his mouth. "Eat something." "Oh my god, you're so annoying! Can't you see I'm fighting!" Luc Du pushed my hand away. French fries fell all over the ground. The whole dormitory immediately became quiet. The other two roommates were stunned. I also stood there stunned. I didn't act at all, I was really sorry for myself. From childhood to adulthood, although my brother often complained, he never laid a hand on me. Luc Du also realized he was wrong. He took off his headphones, looked at me, confused. "Tri Tri, I... I didn't mean it." I said nothing, tears fell. That's it, everyone in the dorm now thinks Luc Du is a domestic abuser. At that moment, a hand reached out and pulled me behind me. It's Trinh Tham. He stood in front of me, his eyes looking at Luc Du as cold as ice. "Luc Du, you are really too much." His voice was not loud, but full of pressure, unable to resist. Luc Du was scared when he looked at him. "I... I said it wasn't intentional." "Sorry." Trinh Tham's voice did not carry any emotion. Luc Du pursed his lips, finally looked at me, mumbled a word. "Sorry." I sniffed my nose, not responding. Trinh Tham bent down, quietly picked up each piece of potato from the ground and put it in the trash. Then, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the room. "Let me take you home." I was pulled by him, not saying a word the whole way. His hand was very big, very warm, completely covering my wrist, sending numbing electric currents. I bowed my head, looked at our hands clasped together, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat. When he reached the women's dormitory, he let go. "Don't be sad anymore." He looked at me, his voice unexpectedly gentle. "He's not worthy." I raised my head and looked into his deep eyes, which clearly reflected my image. At that moment, I suddenly felt, this game... seemed to be going too far. It seems like I'm really a bit shaken. Since the "french fries incident", the relationship between Trinh Tham and I began to change miraculously. He no longer just silently observed, but began to proactively approach. For example, I posted a story saying I wanted to drink a new milk tea at a certain store. Half an hour later, the shipper appeared at my dormitory. There was no sender's name on the order, only a smiley face symbol 😊. For example, I studied for an exam in the library and conveniently complained to my brother that it was a bit cold. The next day, a brand new small blanket suddenly appeared on my seat. Next to it was a sticky note, written on it: Don't let it get cold. The handwriting is elegant and strong, and at a glance you can tell it belongs to Trinh Tham. My stupid brother thought I bought it myself. "Oh, Lam Tri, you've been enjoying yourself a lot these days. You even know how to bring a blanket to the library."
