Waiting for Your Breakup for Ages

1: Jian Jia has had a crush on his male god for years. Accompanying him for meals, fun, drinks, and chats— Staying up all night playing games with him for a year. During his senior year, Jian Jia finally musters the courage to confess. His voice hoarse, he asks: "Brother Chen Li... Can I become part of your family?" Touched but resolute, his male god gently rejects him, saying he only ever saw him as his best little brother. The same afternoon he gets dumped— Jian Jia receives a friend request on WeChat, from his male god’s actual younger brother: "Hey, so... After my brother dumped you, can you still carry me in ranked?"Damn. Now that’s adding insult to injury. 2: On the day Jian Jia gets rejected, Chen Bosheng is stopped by his older brother: "Bosheng, can you look after Jian Jia at school for me?" Recalling Jian Jia’s tear-filled eyes, he adds, "Don’t let him know you're my brother." Chen Bosheng happily agrees— And moves into Jian Jia’s place that very same day. A year passes with his identity hidden. But on the night his cover is blown, Chen Bosheng suddenly asks him: "Do you still want to become part of my brother’s family?" The man’s voice is nonchalant, lazily teasing: "Congratulations—now you’ve got a second chance." Jian Jia: *...* *I wanted to be your sister-in-law, not your brother’s wife.jpg* 3: One year later, Chen Li recalls the day he rejected Jian Jia— The kid’s heartbroken yet stubborn expression suddenly hits him differently. Realizing his true feelings, his chest tightens with longing. Returning home, he stops his brother and asks: "How’s Jian Jia been lately?" Chen Bosheng pauses, then replies calmly: "...Good?" Later, after finding out Jian Jia already has a new boyfriend, Chen Li drowns his sorrows in alcohol— Gripping his brother’s shoulders, he agonizes: "Bosheng, how could Jian Jia forget me so fast in just a year? Is his new guy really that great??" Chen Bosheng nods: "His new boyfriend is indeed great." Chen Li: *?* Chen Bosheng deadpans:"Mainly because he’s just as great as your little brother here." Chen Li: *??* And then… Chen Li discovers that his little brother *did* take great care of his crush— All the way to the goddamn bed!! #THE HELL KIND OF WAY IS THAT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW???
