The Silly Beauty Has Won Over Her Straight Childhood Friend

[Flirtatious, clueless beauty x possessive, shamelessly biased straight man, sweet romance]

Yu Zhenxi had been Bian Xiuyang's shadow since childhood.

But after starting university, he developed feelings he shouldn't have. He fell for his big brother, but his big brother was straight...

Straight men have no idea how rough they are!

He always held Yu's hand when they went out, didn't bother hiding when he got undressed, and even took Yu's hand and put it on his abs...

He would even say in Yu's ear:

“Xixi, you're the most important person in the world to your big brother.”

How was that any different from a confession?!

Yu Zhenxi resolved to reel his big brother in.

After studying all the theory, he was full of confidence.

For example:

Get scared in a haunted house and dive into his arms

Deliberately wear his T-shirt after a shower

Put on cat ears so his big brother can pet him

But his big brother was just too straight, so Yu had to give up.

Until one day, an upperclassman cornered him and confessed.

He had barely gotten a few words out when his big brother pulled him away and pinned him in a corner.

The man kissed him deeply, his gaze dark.

“Why don't you want your big brother?”

Yu Zhenxi: ...Wait, weren't you straight?

Bian Xiuyang realized he'd been acting strangely lately.

Looking at the childhood friend he'd protected since they were little, he had somehow started to feel something more.

His childhood friend had no idea.

When the little guy nestled into his arms and sweetly begged for attention, he endured it.

When he wandered around in nothing but Bian's shirt, he endured it.

Even when he gazed at him innocently in cat ears, he... endured it.

Then he accidentally overheard his childhood friend say:

“Sorry, I like someone. I really love him.”

“He doesn't love me.”

Oh, really? How wonderful.

His childhood friend was pining over someone, and that person was truly blind not to realize it.

He couldn't take it anymore.

The secret couldn't stay hidden forever. Yu Zhenxi's plan to reel in his big brother was discovered. Yu tried to run, but his brother grabbed him, gently biting his ear.

“How about wearing the cat ears tonight?”

“Ugh... no...”

[Finicky, elegant Ragdoll cat x fake-cold, tough guy who loves fluffy things]

Su Nuo is a beautiful blue bicolor Ragdoll cat who treasures his silky fur more than anything.

An older cat once told him that humans are obsessed with cats. They'll pluck a cat bald and suck them down until they look like mango pits.

Su Nuo: /(°O°)/

Humans are terrifying! He has to protect his beautiful fur!

So he cultivated an aloof persona, and no one dared come close for cuddles.

He was no different in human form.

When he started university, his new roommate was cold-faced and looked really fierce. But at least they minded their own business, and Su Nuo could count their conversations on one hand.

He felt safe.

Until one night, he went out to play in cat form and found his new roommate being beaten up by a group of people.

After looking into it, he learned that his roommate had a tragic background, and even the little animals wanted nothing to do with him.

Now his roommate was looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Su Nuo: ...Fine. You can pet me just a little.

After that, everything changed.

He noticed his roommate had bought all sorts of cat toys.

A feather wand, balls of yarn...

And Su Nuo's favorite dried fish!

They were simply too tempting for a cat!

No, humans are crafty.

He mustn't be tempted!

Lu Rong loved fluffy little animals, but they were all afraid of him.

It bothered him.

Then he happened to meet a Ragdoll cat with watery blue eyes and a haughty little face, cute in a cool sort of way. The cat somehow reminded him of his roommate.

He realized the Ragdoll was softhearted. All he had to do was pretend to be pitiful, and the cat would let him pet its fur while keeping a cool face.

Lu Rong: Plan acquired √

The eldest young master of the Lu family began inventing a tragic backstory.

At the same time, he noticed his cold-faced roommate starting to sneak glances at him.

Finally, one day, his roommate came closer, the tips of his ears red.

“Can I play with... borrow your little toys?”

Later, he happened to pull back the curtains and saw his roommate secretly eating dried fish.

Those watery blue eyes stared at him in a daze.

And behind him... a cat's tail swished from side to side.

[Bonus scene]

Lu Rong: Your human form is already perfect. There's no need to...

Su Nuo: (keeps a straight face, cat ears twitching)

Lu Rong: Holy crap!!!
