Xu Tingsheng has recently realized that his childhood friend, Qi Chengyue, has been acting more and more strangely.

They're already in college, but Qi Chengyue won't let him accept love letters or get too close to anyone else. He even tries to control what kind of underwear he wears!

“Qi Chengyue, are you my mom?”

Qi Chengyue glanced at him, turned around, and continued washing his underwear.

Only later did Xu Tingsheng realize that everything Qi Chengyue had done was meant to make sure he could never leave his side.

Xu Tingsheng had always thought they were just good buddies who'd grown up together.

Until one day, when they were drunk, Qi Chengyue held him tight in his arms and said in a husky voice, “Tingsheng, there can only be one role for me by your side for the rest of my life: your man!”

What you thought was brotherly affection was something he'd been plotting for a long, long time.
