Five Years into Our Relationship, I Found Out My Boyfriend Was a Yandere

Gentle, obsessive, sickly-sweet top × Freedom-loving bottom who gets trapped

In everyone’s eyes, Lin Hefeng was the epitome of excellence. His life was meant to be so perfect it could be written into a textbook.

During their three years of middle school, Lin Hefeng never thought he couldn’t live without Tang Chen. Their daily companionship was a habit, a friendship born in the innocence of youth.

But Tang Chen secretly took the entrance exam for a different high school without telling anyone. He made new friends, and it seemed as though everything from the past, including Lin Hefeng’s place in his life, was about to be replaced.

Lin Hefeng hid his resentment well. He smiled and wished Tang Chen all the best with his studies, just as he always would, but his body acted faster than his mind, making him cling to Tang Chen and claim more of his time and attention.

With layer upon layer of planning, with every step carefully plotted, Tang Chen finally became his.

What had gone wrong? Wasn’t loving someone about treating him well and staying by his side forever?

Why did Tang Chen keep trying to run away? Once, twice...

Lin Hefeng straightened the blankets and said gently, “You’re sick. Be good and get some sleep.”

“Do you think you’re not sick too?” Tang Chen pulled a hand out from under the blankets. The silver chain around his wrist gleamed under the light as he demanded coldly, “Is this something a normal person would do?”

Lin Hefeng took his hand and kissed the back of it, head bowed like a devoted believer. His indulgent tone was like someone soothing a child. “Yes, I’m sick too. Let’s go to bed early together.”

“Good night.”

People always say that deep love shortens life, and great wisdom brings suffering.

The person you love might not love you back. But you have a thousand ways to change their mind, even their orientation. So would you let go and give them their freedom?

Lin Hefeng couldn’t.
