Bian Yuan used to be absolutely certain he was straight.

Well, he used to be.

As a high school student who had been invited by a famous director to act in a film at the age of six, Bian Yuan knew what he needed to do: study hard, get into an acting academy, become an actor, win an award for best actor, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Not fall for his homeroom teacher's own son.

But! Wasn't he, Bian Yuan, straight?

How did straight guys interact with each other again? Just putting an arm around each other's shoulders! Just drinking from the same bottle! Bian Yuan, why the hell are you blushing?

But would a straight guy tuck a photo of his buddy into his phone case?

Bian Yuan stared wide-eyed at the photo of himself in Bai Lunchen's phone.

Bian Yuan was devastated. Bian Yuan was conflicted. Bian Yuan sighed. Bian Yuan was out of ideas.

All he could see in his mind, frame after frame, were Bai Lunchen's light brown eyes.

“Yuan, what city do you want to go to for college?”

“Yuan, I can't sleep. Want to talk for a while?”

“Yuan, will you watch me at the New Year's party... I'll take pictures for you...”

Whoever wanted to be straight could be straight! Bian Yuan wasn't doing it anymore!

Bian Yuan decided to confess.

He had even picked the date, but Bai Lunchen disappeared.

Without a single warning, he moved away, changed his contact information, and vanished completely. He didn't even show up for the college entrance exams.

Bian Yuan was baffled.

He hadn't even confessed yet. Why had the guy run off?

When Bian Yuan came to his senses, he realized he hadn't seen his homeroom teacher in a while either.

After asking who knew how many people, Bian Yuan finally got someone to tell him:

“Bai Lunchen... He took a leave of absence. He specifically told us not to tell you...”

Bian Yuan could only laugh.

Did Bai Lunchen really think he was some naive little kid who knew nothing about the world?

Bai Lunchen, you're really something.
