My Roommate Says He’s Straight

Lu Zheng was straight.

At least, that was what he thought.

Until a fair-skinned, handsome guy showed up in his dorm.

He looked delicate and sweet, yet was so aloof that a single sentence could keep people at arm’s length.

His personality was as changeable as it was distant.

But handsome people always made you want to take another look.

Lu Zheng fell for him completely by surprise.

Qin Mumu had caught his eye. Lu Zheng couldn’t help quietly keeping tabs on him.

Then one day, Qin Mumu joked, “You haven’t fallen for me, have you?”

Lu Zheng: “I have. So, will you be with me?”

*

Qin Mumu had an unhappy childhood. His father cheated on his mother and brought home an illegitimate son who was two months older than him.

His mother lost her mind, beating and berating him, and threatening to take him with her when she died.

He went mad, too, after watching his mother fall from a building with his own eyes.

After growing up torn apart by conflicting feelings, he entered university and met Lu Zheng, who was like sunshine.

In that moment, his heart stirred.

But could someone who had spent too long crawling through the darkness still embrace the sun?

His mercurial personality,

the illegitimate son who kept provoking him,

any of it could make him lose control at any moment.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of someone as unstable as him?

He had been broken for far, far too long.

But Lu Zheng said:

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

“I’ll piece you back together, one fragment at a time. You’re the best, Qin Mumu.”
