Xu Xiheng, widely recognized as the handsomest guy in the biology department at A University, suddenly started dating a girl from his school online over summer break. Their relationship progressed at lightning speed.
His friend kindly warned him that online dating was risky.
Xu Xiheng: "Can't be helped. We're soulmates, and we get along so perfectly."
Even though his girlfriend lived in a rural town and they couldn't video call or talk on the phone, he believed they would hit it off the moment they met and start a sweet romance! ☺️

On the day they were supposed to meet in person on campus, Xu Xiheng waited for ages without seeing anyone, so he took out his phone and typed: "Baby, what color are you wearing?"
He had just tapped send when a tall, long-legged, incredibly handsome guy walked straight toward him from ten meters away.
Xu Xiheng: ?
Was he looking for directions?
The handsome guy, Pu Yu, glanced down at the message, then smiled at him. "Baby?"
Xu Xiheng was hit with a critical blow.
⚡️💥🔥...
He'd always thought the person on the other end was a girl. But the person on the other end was a gay guy.
Then Pu Yu asked him the question that went straight to his soul:
"Sorry, but what exactly does the '0️⃣' symbol on your profile mean?"
Xu Xiheng's eyes widened: ??!

His online romance in ruins, Xu Xiheng ran faster than a rabbit. He reflected guiltily on whether he had hurt the other guy too badly.
His friend said, "A straight guy being soft-hearted is a major taboo."
Xu Xiheng, however, thought that even if things hadn't gone quite as planned, who said they couldn't be friends after dating online?
So he turned around and put an arm around Pu Yu's shoulders. "Bro. 🤗"
Pu Yu: ...
They could be friends, sure, but Xu Xiheng was a straight guy with no sense of restraint.
When the club needed people, he dragged Pu Yu along. When he needed someone to play a game with, he went looking for Pu Yu. Even when he needed to save a seat for class in the building next door, he thought of Pu Yu. And whenever he felt like running his mouth, he'd call him "big brother" in a way that was almost flirtatious.
Every time Pu Yu got a message from Xu Xiheng, he got a headache.

Who could have guessed that later, on a big bed at Pu Yu's place, someone would be forced to declare himself again...
"Say it again. Are we brothers, or am I your husband?"
Xu Xiheng swallowed his embarrassment and cried, "Hu... husband."

What his friend didn't mention was that the saying had another version circulating online:
A straight guy being soft-hearted is a recipe for disaster...!
