Leave My Wife to Me! [Next Book]

Ke Lin's roommate has a country wife.

They were betrothed as children, and the wife is a man. Just as graduation is around the corner, he comes to the city to find his husband.

Unfortunately, the band his roommate formed has a six-month underground tour coming up, and he leaves tomorrow.

With no other choice, his roommate turns to Ke Lin and pleads, "Could you help me out and let him stay at your place for a while? I'll cover his living and lodging expenses, and I'll pick him up when the tour is over."

"Sure." Ke Lin agrees absentmindedly as he plays a game, giving the matter no further thought.

"Thanks... And one more thing." Before leaving, his roommate gives him repeated warnings. "He's really innocent, Ke Lin. Don't bully him, and don't... fall for him. He's my wife."

?

"Hah." Ke Lin is speechless. "Is that really necessary? All right, get lost."

The next day.

Ke Lin goes to the train station to pick him up.

A country bumpkin, carrying a sack, who looks so innocent, obedient, sensible, cute, quiet, pretty, and kind...

Damn.

What kind of description is that?

Frowning, Ke Lin searches around the platform and finally spots a young man who fits the description.

His clothes are washed pale, his hair a little long and tied back with a cheap elastic.

He's standing on the platform talking on the phone, eyes brimming with tears. He looks lost, innocent, and... naive.

Ke Lin stops in his tracks.

A moment later.

"Li Yuanxing."

Hearing someone call his name, Li Yuanxing turns around.

A figure looms over him.

The man stands backlit as a train roars past behind him. Shadows obscure his face, and his sharp, tense jawline makes him look especially intimidating.

Li Yuanxing's eyes widen.

"Hello, wife."

Li Yuanxing: "? Huh?"

He freezes.

"No, I mean, I'm Ke Lin, your fiance's roommate."

The train pulls away, revealing the young man's face in the sunlight. He's even more nervous than Li Yuanxing, stumbling over his words and saying whatever comes to mind.

"I'll look after you for the next six months. You'll stay with me. Yeah, your fiance is really irresponsible, but it's fine. I'm a good person. Welcome to my home, wife."

Li Yuanxing: "..."

Both are sexually and romantically inexperienced, and neither has had another partner. No love-interest swap. The childhood betrothal was just something the two families jokingly said when they were young. Neither Li Yuanxing nor either family ever took it seriously; only the male supporting character was one-sidedly convinced it was real. Li Yuanxing sees him only as an older brother.
