My bestie's brother was a cool guy.
When I met him for the first time, he went out of the bathroom and covered my head with a coat.
Chelsea, my bestie tried to smooth things over. "This is my friend. Is she beautiful?"
He looked at me coldly and said in a mean tone, "Ugly."
Well, you might be a handful, but I knew how to deal with this type.
I showed him my care and consideration for a long time.
In the end, I gave up.
He was still so arrogant that he didn't even call me sister.
Two days after I gave up, he sent me the first message.
Cool guy: [Are you playing hard to get?]
Cool guy: [Cecilia.]

When I took something to Chelsea and went to her home, I happened to see a handsome man who was half-naked after the shower.
The handsome man had long legs and well-proportioned muscles, and only underpants covered his private part.
Before I could have a closer look, I was covered by a coat pocket.
I didn't realize it until my eyes were covered. I couldn't help but scream.
Chelsea came out.
I pointed at the handsome man who was wrapped in a bath towel and asked, "Who is he?"
Chelsea said, "My younger brother."
I was confused.
Wait, wasn't her brother a short tanned guy?
Chelsea turned to the handsome man, trying to ease the embarrassment. "This is my friend. Is she beautiful?"
He looked at me coldly, "Ugly."
Then he turned around and entered the room.
I was stunned.
Damn it! It turned out that he was a cool guy!
I asked, "How old is he?"
Chelsea said apologetically, "My brother is twenty years old. He might be in his delayed psychological rebellious phase."
I stared at her and squinted, "Well, he's grown up."
Chelsea took my hint with a smile and immediately gave me his WhatsApp account. "Teach him a lesson."

The cool guy was called Austin, a junior student at Rialy University. It was said that he was a big shot in the school.
He was indeed qualified to be a cool guy.
I was more interested in him. I had a friendly communication with Austin on WhatsApp.
Me: [ Austin, do you have time to have dinner with me?]
Austin: [Who are you?]
Me: [Your sister's friend. I saw you naked that day.]
A long time passed by.
There was still one grey tick behind my message.
I suddenly realized.
He blocked me!
I found Chelsea. [Your brother blocked me. Ask him to unblock me!]
Chelsea: [He didn't listen to me. You tell him yourself.]
Me: [How? He has blocked me.]
Chelsea: [You play Legend of Myth, right? He and his classmates are going to play it with me tonight. I'll give you my account."
Thanks very very much, Chelsea, my best friend!
In the evening, when I joined the game team, Austin's classmates were surprised as they heard my voice.
"It's not Austin's sister," a young man gently asked, "Who's that?"
My tone also became gentle. "I'm a friend of Chelsea."
"Oh, I see. Can you play the support?"
"Yes."
"Then get ready. It's show time."
Oh my! What a good guy this young man was. Austin, what a jerk! I had to change my target!
Then Austin played ADC, and I had to assist him.
"Go and check the grass, support."
I did as Austin said.
Then I was slain by enemies hiding in the grass.
"Don't feed your enemies, support."
I was confused.
Didn't you ask me to check the grass?
Such things had happened many times since then. I seriously suspected that Austin did it on purpose.
Anyway, I didn't work at all when the game was over.
Even if I won in the end, I was still very angry.
Well, you played ADC, weren't you? I would play special support.
I decisively picked Hera, a special support, in the second round.
Then Austin picked Apollo, a warrior in the game.
I was speechless.
In the whole round, as long as I came to help Austin, he would take me into the crowd of enemies, watch me die, and leave.
I even heard his chuckle.
I was furious!
Unconsciously, it seemed that we were going to lose.
The young man with a gentle tone was very confused. "Austin, why are you playing so badly this time?"
I snorted, "Maybe that's his ability."
Austin suddenly stopped beside me. "Come with me."
"What?"
"I'll take you to win."
Huh, I wouldn't believe you. You would definitely trick me another time.
But I did as he said.
After all, he hadn't unblocked me yet.
Unexpectedly, he began to play seriously. He achieved a triple kill and we won.
Of course, I died in the process.
The moment all the enemies were slain, he deliberately got himself killed by the tower.
I was confused, "What are you doing?"
Austin didn't answer, but the other guys teased, "That's what a couple does."
My face blushed.
What nonsense were you guys talking about?

After playing the game that night, I found that I forgot to ask Austin to unblocked me.
Even though I knew he couldn't see my message, I still sent him one in a depressed mood. [Austin, you are always bullying me.]
Unexpectedly, the ticks turned blue.
I was stunned for two seconds. When I was about to withdraw it, I saw a message from Austin. [Yes.]
I was speechless.
Me: [Anyway, you turned the tables with me in the end. You are really awesome!]
Austin: [Yes.]
What? Why was he so calm?
Me: [Call me Cece.]
Austin didn't reply for a long time.
My heart skipped a beat. Would he blacklist me again?
Me: [I was just joking. If you don't want to call me that, then don't. But don't blacklist me!]
After two minutes.
Austin: [I'm asleep.]
I stared at my phone and couldn't help laughing.
Cool guy, you had to pay the price for being so arrogant to me.

In the following period of time, I tried to strike up a conversation with Austin now and then on WhatsApp.
But they were all insignificant conversations.
For example, "did you have lunch? Did you sleep? Did you miss me?"
He didn't answer my questions except for the last one.
Every time, he would reply instantly, "No, it's impossible. Don't dream about it."
Well, it was the first time that I had gotten rejected by a man, such a young man!
I couldn't accept it and asked Chelsea for advice.
Chelsea took me to a bar. While drinking, she complained, "I don't know since when my brother made great progress in his grades and entered Rialy University. He also became strange..."
I listened patiently until I was completely drunk. Chelsea patted me and said, "I just called Austin to come here. I'm leaving now. Seize the opportunity."
Before I could say anything, Chelsea left.
While I was waiting, someone walked up to me and said, "Would you mind adding me on WhatsApp, Miss?"
I was afraid of being entangled, so I did it as he said.
Anyway, I could block him later.
The man continued, "Are you alone? How about we leave together?"
I rubbed my forehead irritably. When I raised my head, I saw Austin.
"No, thanks. My boyfriend is here to pick me up." I smiled as I pointed at Austin in the distance. "He's over there."
The man left sensibly.
Austin walked up to me and looked down at me.
In the dim light of the bar, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I faintly felt that he seemed to be angry.
Was he unhappy with Chelsea's forcing him to come here?
I said in a low voice, "In fact, you can choose not to come here..."
Austin asked, "Then are you going to leave with another man?"
What?
I said, "No..."
In a daze, I stood up and slowly leaned against Austin.
He suddenly grabbed me, took me out of the bar, opened the car door, and threw me into the back seat.
Then he got into the car with his arms on my side. The tip of his nose was very close to mine, and I could even see his slightly trembling eyelashes.
My heart was beating fast.
In the hot and ambiguous atmosphere filled with the smell of alcohol, Austin said coldly, "You can hook up with others. Don't play with me."
What?
Did he think I was playing with him?
I was serious!
I was too drunk to explain to him. I lay in the back seat, barely breathing.
He hadn't found anything strange until he arrived at my house.
Austin said coldly, "Are you pretending to be drunk?"
I said, "I want to throw up."
Austin was speechless.
He continued, "Don't vomit in my car."
Maybe he still cherished the car. He got out of the car and pulled me out.
I leaned against him weakly. "Can you stop being so cold to me?"
He didn't say anything.
I continued, "Take me to the hotel..."
Austin's body stiffened. "Dream on."
I pouted, "My home is on the fifth floor. I can't climb up without an elevator..."
Austin fell into silence.
After a while, he suddenly squatted down and said, "Come on."
What?
Was he going to carry me on his back?
"Pick me up in your arms!"
"You have three seconds."
I pounced on him decisively.
Because of alcohol, my senses became dull. During the whole process, I didn't seem to feel anything real. I only remembered that the smell of Austin was very good.
It was like the smell of grass after the rain of spring, fresh and sweet.
He sent me home and got me a glass of water. I leaned against him on purpose. He pushed me away and I fell. He had to pull me.
It felt good to joke with him.
I was going to pretend to be drunk and stop him from going back. But after thinking for a while, I gave up.
Austin dragged me to the bed. When he was not paying attention, I gently brushed his ear with my lips.
His body stiffened as if he got an electric shock. Then he pushed the door open and ran away hurriedly.
I was stunned.
He just left like this?
The alcohol was almost gone. I sighed and felt a little irritable. Then I went out and bought two cans of beer in the convenience store.
When I walked out of the store, I opened a can of beer and saw a man standing downstairs of my home from a distance.
The scarlet flame flickered between his fingers and disappeared when I approached.
He took two steps forward, and his face gradually became clear from the shadow. It was Austin.
"Is it fun to pretend to be drunk?" asked Austin.
