Chapter 8 — Likes My Brother's Roommate

Trinh Tham's face immediately changed, from white to red and then clearly purple. As if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly turned around and without a word rushed down the stairs. The speed was as fast as a 100 meter race. "Hey! Trinh Tham! Don't run!" I chased to the staircase door, only to see his back running away in panic. I leaned against the railing, laughing so hard I couldn't stand. It's over, this time it's too big. Threatens people to run away. For the next week, Trinh Tham avoided me. I saw him in the cafeteria, he immediately picked up the lunch tray and walked away. I met him on the street, he bowed his head and pretended not to see. I went to the dormitory to give my brother his things, but he always made up an excuse not to be there. I'm starting to feel sad. Although it's fun to see you flustered, I don't want you to keep avoiding me. My brother also began to feel that something was wrong. "Lam Tri, have you been feuding with Trinh Tham lately?" "Huh? Not at all." I felt guilty and denied it. "Then why does he always see you as if he saw a ghost?" "...Maybe it's because you're so pretty, so he's shy?" Luc Du looked at me with eyes like "are you crazy". I decided I couldn't let this situation continue any longer. I must proactively attack. That night, I found out that Trinh Tham was in the library. I held a pile of books and sat down across from him. As soon as he saw me, he reflexively stood up to leave. I quickly held his hand tightly. "Don't move." My voice wasn't loud, but there was a bit of intimidation that couldn't be denied. He was stunned, not daring to move anymore. But my head bowed lower, like "I can't hear anything". I saw his red ears, both angry and amused. "Trinh Tham." I called his name. He didn't answer. "Classmate Trinh Tham." I changed my address. He still didn't reply. I sighed, took out my phone, and opened the screenshot of his profile page that he had deleted. "If you still don't pay attention to me, I will print this out and post it all over the school." I gently threatened. Trinh Tham immediately stiffened. He finally raised his head, his eyes full of shame and frustration looking at me. "What do you want?" His voice was a bit resentful. I looked at his appearance, my heart suddenly softened. "I don't want anything." I put my phone away and looked at him seriously. "I just want to ask you one question." "What?" "The question you asked me before at KTV, does it still count?" Trinh Tham was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect me to suddenly mention that. His face started to turn red again. I looked at him, my heart also started pounding. The library was very quiet, I could even hear my heart "thumping". After a long while, he nodded, his voice as light as a mosquito's cry. "... Count." I laughed. Laughing until my eyes curled. "That's good." I cleared my throat, imitating the netizen's question in the previous post. "Classmate Trinh Tham, if I, Lam Tri, wanted to have a relationship with you now, would you agree?" Trinh Tham's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at me as if he were seeing a precious treasure. This time he didn't reply immediately like in the post. But he was serious, telling me word by word: "Agree." "I still can't ask." Trinh Tham and I are officially together. When my brother found out, he was stunned. He circled the two of us eight times, still looking incredulous. "No, when did you two get together?" He pointed at Trinh Tham, hurt as if betrayed. "Trinh Tham, Trinh Tham, I consider you my brother, yet you want to be my brother-in-law?" Trinh Tham wrapped his arms around my waist, looking very calm. "Um, I hope my brother-in-law will give me more advice in the future." Luc Du: "..." Luc Du was so angry that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

From then on, his eyes looked at Trinh Tham like he was looking at a thief. Always warning Trinh Tham. "I tell you, if you dare to bully my sister, I won't leave it alone!" Trinh Tham smiled gently every time. "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I won't." Then he turned around and treated me even better. He remembers all my preferences clearly. I like strawberry cake, he will search all over the city to find the best shop. I casually said I wanted to go see a movie, he immediately booked tickets in advance and chose couple seats. Every status line I post on social networks, he watches carefully, then silently fulfills all my little wishes. He pampers me like a little princess. My brother saw it, his heart was extremely bitter. "Tsk, Lam Tri, look at you now, you're getting more and more lazy." "That's right, before I even knew how to bring you food, now I only have a boyfriend in my eyes." I leaned on Trinh Tham's lap, sticking out my tongue and making a bad face at my brother. "Lamling, are you jealous?" Luc Du was so angry that I was speechless. Then, one time during a dorm party, everyone started talking about how Trinh Tham and I got together. I tell the story of the old post in a vivid and lifelike way. The whole room burst into laughter. Luc Du laughed so much that he made a pig noise. "Hahaha! Trinh Tham! So you thought like that back then!" "Are you still called a sinister guy? I'm dying of laughter!" Trinh Tham's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and looked at me. "Lam Tri, you just wait for me!" That night, I was tormented to death by him. The next morning, while I was still leaning against the bed, I received a screenshot from Trinh Tham. It's from that forum. Not knowing when, he registered a new account. Then, use that new account to post an article. 【Chasing the person I secretly love, thank you everyone.】 Attached is a photo. In the photo, two hands are clasped together, with identical rings on their ring fingers. I looked at that photo and couldn't help but laugh. I opened the comments section. The most liked comment is: 【??? Isn't this the older brother who wanted to step in?】 Second comment: 【Whoa! So inspiring! How can you do that? Tips please!】 Third comment: 【So your roommate broke up with his girlfriend?】 Trinh Tham replied under the third comment: 【No, his girlfriend has become my girlfriend.】 The comment section immediately exploded. 【??????】 【Too much information, let me digest it slowly.】 【So you really stole his girlfriend?!】 【Awesome!!!】 I looked at the screen full of “???” and "so amazing", laughing until tears flowed from my eyes. I switched to my account and commented under Trinh Tham's reply. 【Hello everyone, I am that girlfriend. Just a little correction, he did not steal his lover, but was honored to have another brother-in-law.】 After that, I tagged Luc Du. Three minutes later, Luc Du's screams echoed throughout the dormitory. "Trinh Tham! Lam Tri! You two are waiting for me!!!" I looked at the phone, turned to look at Trinh Tham next to me, they both looked at each other and smiled. He bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead. "I can wait." – He said. (End)
