Lei Xing : I would never go for you either...I'm not into scrawny ????

Author : *blinks and then smiles* Oh, nothing's wrong! Everything's great! Sit, sit. Oh, you're sitting... Just a little tired is all ????

Jun Kai : ????...Irrelevant people should stay out of OUR conversation.

Tung Mei : *scoffs* I think you're the irrelevant one here...she's not even paying attention to you.

Jun Shan : *shakes head* Some people just cannot take a hint.

Jun Ka i: Speak for yourself! ????

Jun Kai :...Xing er', how about it?

Lei Xing : What? *looks up with a lost expression*

Jun Kai : ????...Let's go out.

Lei Xing : No, the weather sucks. It's raining out...

Tung Mei : You got played, Gofer ????

Jun Kai : Hurry and go get the umbrella ????

Eunuch Li : On that note, I do have some complaints about the conditions of this common room. A few adjustments can be made to make it more comfortable, such as...
