Keep Flirting and He'll Go Crazy [Reborn]

After her boyfriend cheated on her, Wen Ran flew into a rage and beat him into the hospital.

Who could have guessed that his accomplice would be his own younger brother, Jiang Wubai, who had dealt all the serious blows?

Jiang Wubai and his older brother, Jiang Yan, were twins, but they had absolutely nothing in common.

Born with hearing loss in his left ear, Jiang Wubai had been quiet and withdrawn since childhood, always preferring to be alone.

He was more intelligent than most and famous in the area for being a top student. But in his senior year, he shattered everyone's impression of him by getting into a group fight and spending half a month in jail. He missed the college entrance exam and had to repeat a year.

Wen Ran had been in the same class as Jiang Wubai and had briefly fallen for him. Then he heard Jiang Wubai liked someone else, and the matter came to nothing.

They lost touch after graduating high school. They weren't close, and Wen Ran couldn't understand why this guy had helped him.

After venting his anger, Wen Ran grabbed a pack of beer and sat by the roadside with Jiang Wubai, drinking on his own.

Jiang Wubai sat quietly beside him. His white shirt was stained with blood in several places, and his slender fingers kept absently touching his hearing aid.

Wen Ran asked Jiang Wubai why he'd helped him, but before he got an answer, he was drunk and fast asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he had gone back to his second year of high school...

This time, when Jiang Yan confessed to him, a sly smile flickered at the corner of Wen Ran's mouth. "Can't you tell? I've had a crush on your younger brother for ages. I was hoping you'd help me win him over."

Jiang Yan froze solid.

And around the corner behind him, Jiang Wubai's ears quietly turned red, his heart pounding like a drum.

Not long afterward, using mutual help as an excuse, Wen Ran asked their homeroom teacher to change his seat and became Jiang Wubai's deskmate.

When Wen Ran sat beside him, Jiang Wubai forced himself to stay cool and composed and kept working on his problems, oblivious to the crooked lines of formulas on his paper.

From that day on, a racing heart, flushed skin, and sweaty palms became part of Jiang Wubai's daily life.

When Wen Ran shared snacks and accidentally brushed his fingers, Jiang Wubai nearly snapped his pen tip.

When Wen Ran leaned over to ask how to solve a physics problem, Jiang Wubai could barely get the words out and had to pretend to cough.

In his classmates' eyes, Jiang Wubai was aloof and restrained, polite and proper. He always did things with complete certainty and never crossed a line.

But only he knew that Wen Ran had awakened every one of his desires. He acted nonchalant in front of him, but deep down, he had already gone mad.

Jiang Wubai quietly tried to keep his distance, while Wen Ran only became more determined, pursuing him with ever greater intensity.

Every night before bed, Jiang Wubai would agonize over the same questions: Does he really like me? How could he possibly like me?

Wen Ran, meanwhile, wondered: How can I melt this iceberg that's been frozen for a thousand years, get him to let down his guard, and become his good friend?

As the college entrance exam drew closer, Wen Ran finally had a reason to stop the group fight that would change Jiang Wubai's life. But that day, he learned that...

Jiang Wubai had fought for his sake, not for the person his classmates had been whispering about.

Long before Wen Ran had ever approached him, Jiang Wubai had already liked him for a very, very long time...

Later,

in a secluded corner, Wen Ran pressed close to Jiang Wubai's left ear and finally said the words he hadn't been able to say in his previous life: "Let's date."

From now on, he would be Jiang Wubai's little ear.

Wen Ran hadn't expected to provoke someone with such overwhelming possessiveness.

When Jiang Wubai shed his cold mask, all his years of restraint and self-control vanished. He went completely mad with love.
