After My Roommate Latched On to Me

Under the same roof, Li Qixing has always had a good temper. But after a misunderstanding involving a fight brings him into contact with Cheng Yiyan, he turns prickly.

He loves jumping to conclusions.

He speaks his mind.

And he's full of himself.

He was just being kind when he looked after Cheng Yiyan while he was drunk, and accidentally brushed his face. After sobering up, Cheng Yiyan decides: He has a crush on me. Why else would he steal a kiss?

???

Talk about turning the tables!

Ever since Li Qixing lost his temper and hit Cheng Yiyan a little too hard in a fight, he has found himself unable to get rid of him.

Cheng Yiyan quietly cares for him while constantly bickering with him, then demands promises and a proper relationship...

At first, Cheng Yiyan couldn't figure out what he felt for Li Qixing.

He only began to notice that he cared about him more and more.

Even he found many of his own actions inexplicable.

Like deliberately using his injuries to pressure Li Qixing into making all sorts of childish promises and drawing up a checklist to make sure he kept them. Like instinctively wanting to bring him food, worrying he'd get soaked when it rained, and even feeling inexplicably jealous when his friend got too close to him...

He's adorable.

He's kind.

Cheng Yiyan likes bickering with him, and has gotten used to seeing him in the bed across from his every night...

Before long, they were both head over heels.

Li Qixing: We already kissed. How much further are you planning to push it?

Cheng Yiyan: We already kissed. That means I'm the only one who gets to be your boyfriend.

A story about someone who promises things after fighting his roommate, tries to run away before making good on them, and gets claimed by his roommate before he can escape.

A quick-to-jump-to-conclusions, slightly dense, infuriatingly straightforward top (Cheng Yiyan) × a prickly bottom who throws punches at the slightest provocation (Li Qixing)

A sweet little treat, 1v1, both leads have only ever been with each other, and they're each other's first love.

Come see how roommates bend each other: two straight guys flirting with each other.

1.

One night, Li Qixing was in a bad mood. After he and Cheng Yiyan fought on their beds and lay back down:

In the dark

Li Qixing: Since neither of us can sleep, we might as well have a heart-to-heart.

Cheng Yiyan: ... (Thinking: Who wants to have a heart-to-heart with someone who just beat him black and blue?)

2. Their second fight

As usual, Cheng Yiyan went easy on him.

After they got tired of fighting, they lay down on the floor.

Cheng Yiyan: Hey, um, does it hurt?

Li Qixing: What do you think?

They fought, but afterward they still helped patch each other up. (Li Qixing: Sometimes even I can't believe myself.)

3. After one particularly passionate make-out session

Li Qixing woke up and tried to make excuses for himself:

Li Qixing: Cheng Yiyan, we were drinking last night, right?

Cheng Yiyan: We weren't.

Li Qixing: We were, weren't we? I could've sworn we drank.

Cheng Yiyan: We didn't.

Li Qixing: ... (What's the harm in letting me fool myself?)

Reading guide:

1. The bottom only gets violent with the top now and then.

2. The side couple, Gu and Mu, won't get much attention. The four guys in Dorm 519 only have one official couple, and Zhou has a one-sided crush on Fu for now. Their official pairing appears in another short story of about ten thousand Chinese characters.

3. All kinds of childish behavior from male college students.

4. A sweet, slice-of-life story with no real plot.

5. The whole story is sweet to the point of awkwardness. Please bear with it.

6. Both darlings don't realize they're falling in love. The top falls at first sight, while the bottom falls for him over time. The top figures out his feelings early and pursues him later on, though it can hardly be called a pursuit since the bottom spoils him too.
