Tangning’s ears turned red and she folded her arms on her chest. "What do you an by borrowing sugar? I am on a diet and I am not not supposed to eat anything with sugar. Apart from Huaqi’s cheesecake, nothing with processed sugar has crossed my lips in a month."
She denied eating sugar so strongly like she was being accused of setting off a bomb or attempting to kill soone.
"Aiyo, such strong denial from soone who borrows sugar from so often." i i giggled and smiled mischievously. "Are you here for my brother? He is not here."
Tangning rolled her eyes. "As much as I like your brother, my life does not revolve around him. I have to release two new singles and I am preparing for the recording of my new album. I want to be in the best shape physically, ntally and vocally. Your sleeping pods have gained a reputation for giving inspiration and calming the mind."
i i heard "I like your brother," and everything else might as well have been blah blah blah to her ears.
Her eyebrows danced as she prepared to tease Tangning so more. "So you like him...eh. This is the first ti I have heard you declaring it loudly."
Tangning’s cheeks turned red.
"What do you like about him?" i i whispered as a familiar actress walked by them. "Your crush is so obvious that is borderline embarrassing."
"I don’t have a crush on him!" Tangning hushed i i.
i i rolled her eyes. "You just admitted to liking him."
Tangning darted her eyes and mumbled, "I like him as the Imperial commander."
i i grinned. "Your red face says otherwise. My boyfriend blushes like this whenever I tease him about the smallest things. Your skin is already admitting your feelings for you." She looked out of the window and waved her hand. "Mingzhe, you are here."
Tangning squatted down with panic all over her face.
i i looked down at Wu Tangning and she grinned. "Why are you hiding? It is not Mingzhe, my eyes recognized the wrong person."
Tangning stood up, patting her chest. "Jun ilin, I hate you."
"No you don’t." i i laughed. "I am such a lovable person. You love and you love my brother. As his sister, sotis I don’t understand the adoration won have for him. He is a robot with a badge."
"He is not a robot." Tangning mumbled. "He is just the silent brooding type..posed."
"Silent brooding?" i i arched her brows. "Tangning, the man alphabetizes his clothes, books and everything in his bathroom cabinet. He reads old books that sll like moths for fun. He also uses phrases like statistical anomaly and words like redundancy."
"Because he is a genius. His language is polished and that is very impressive." Tangning replied.
i i rolled her eyes. "Oh really! Write a song with those words used as lyrics right now."
Tangning pursed her lips for a mont as she thought. Then she said, "I can’t think of anything right now but I still think that he aweso. And he is very organized and clean. In comparison to my older brother who lives like the filthiest pig alive, Jun Mingzhe is a gem.
i i was recording all of Tangning’s praise for Mingzhe.
"He once tried to calculate the optimal number of sesa seeds on a sesa bun."
Tangning giggled. "How cute."
"You an psychotic." i i leaned forward. "We were ten and I was very hungry. All I wanted to do was eat the stupid buns."
Tangning leaned towards i i, eyes twinkling. "He must have been a handful as a child. What else did he do?"
"Everything." i i almost hissed. "He was born with the brain of a genius and the social skills of a sloth. He tried to power a lab with chicken eggs and potatoes!! You should have seen our grandmother chasing him around the house because the eggs were ant for breakfast."
Tangning laughed, "What? How can eggs power a lab?"
"I asked myself the sa thing as we were having rice and soup for breakfast that very morning. But that was not the end of his impossible experints.
When we were six, he stole my father’s koi fish and attempted to make them multi colored using so special natural dye he invented. Two of the fish looked weak so he placed them in a tank with serums and orange juice and buried them secretly.
Then, he convinced my father that he was trying to see if they could resurrect and my father joined him in the madness!!"
Tangning burst out laughing. "What happened. Did they resurrect?"
"Of course not." i i sniggered. "You would think that his resurrection experints would there but my brother was determined to be a mad scientist. My mother was always talking about dragons, believing they are real. So, my brother took it upon himself to attempt and genetically engineer a dragon as surprise for her thirty first birthday. That is how Bun the lizard with wings was born. He lived for only three years."
She did not feel like sharing the part where a group of people broke into their ho to steal Bun and in the scuffle which followed, the poor lizard was killed.
Mingzhe had not attempted to resurrect or create anything after that. From then on, he focused on non living things only.
"I think I like your brother even more now." Tangning said. "He knew what your mother wanted and decided to find a way to give it to her. What woman would not want a man that is considerate?"
"You are hopeless." i i narrowed her eyes. "And it is sweet that you like him no matter how crazy he sounds. I want him to have a woman in his life that loves him for himself, not his na, looks or badge. Speaking of his crazy science projects, he once tried to turn a microwave into a device that could harness the energy from stars."
Tangning raised her eyebrows. "Really! Did it work?"
"No, it just burned food and made an annoying beeping sound which alerted him every ti I entered his bedroom. I think he built a i i detector to stop from stealing his shirts but he lied and called it a star catcher."
They both laughed.
Both of them were silent for a pause of ti.
Tangning then said, "You know, I don’t like your brother for his face, na or badge. I fell in love with him when I saw him stopping the Imperial convoy to allow an old man cross the road.
I fell for him again when I saw him rescuing a cat at a cri scene. It was stuck in a tree, crying for help and nobody tried to help it because they were trying to solve the case first.
When he arrived, he climbed that tree, fed the cat and wrapped it in his jacket. Only after making sure that it was okay and safe in his car did he look at the cri scene.
It was more amazing when he solved the case imdiately after looking at victim’s shoes for just ten seconds!!"
