A Lie Detector App Suddenly Appeared on a Straight Guy's Phone

[The complete novel is written and scheduled for this year. I'll do my best to get 300+ readers before launching!]

[A 100,000-word short story to help me get back into writing. Please add it to your favorites and send me encouragement!]

Lin Yu is straight.

One day, an app that can't be deleted appears on his phone.

This app has a magical function: it can tell whether someone is being sincere when they speak.

After testing that the feature really worked, Lin Yu eagerly decided to share this incredible discovery with his best friend, Jiang Linye.

Lin Yu cheerfully draped an arm over his best friend's shoulder. “Hey, buddy, I have something to tell you.”

Jiang Linye replied with an expressionless face, “What is it this time, bro?”

Before Lin Yu could even start, the app suddenly began vibrating violently.

A warning popped up in midair before his eyes.

[Warning: The other person's statement is insincere]

Lin Yu was confused.

Half a second later, it hit him. He stared at Jiang Linye in disbelief.

What! You only said one sentence!

You've got to be kidding me! You don't even think of me as a friend, do you?

Aren't we the best friends in the world?

After parting from Jiang Linye, Lin Yu tossed and turned, growing increasingly upset and unable to make sense of it.

How could Jiang Linye not think of him as a friend? They'd known each other since childhood, first becoming friends through a fight. Their friendship was rock-solid. They knew everything about each other, from their hobbies and eating habits to where they were ticklish and how many moles they had. And even though Jiang Linye complained, he often let Lin Yu copy his homework, took him on trips, helped him wash dishes, mop the floor, and clean up, and even finished whatever food Lin Yu couldn't eat...

How could Jiang Linye not think of him as a friend?

Lin Yu thought of him as his closest, most loyal buddy!

The more Lin Yu thought about it, the angrier he got, until he went straight to confront him.

Lin Yu: “You don't think of me as a friend at all!”

Jiang Linye looked at him, cheeks puffed out in indignation. After a moment of silence, he said, “You figured it out?”

Lin Yu was furious. He really had been lying! What a jerk! What a fake, insincere liar!

Angry and heartbroken, Lin Yu was about to end their friendship.

But in the next moment, Jiang Linye spoke up: “I want to *you.”

Lin Yu: “?”

Lin Yu stumbled over his words. “W-wait, what do you want?”

Jiang Linye calmly replied, “I want to kiss you, hug you, rip off your clothes, and have you curse me out and cry in bed. I want to *_ , __** , and...”

Lin Yu: “??”

...Bro, what the hell are you talking about?

Why did you suddenly start speaking alien?

And also,

Why isn't this lie-detector app going off?!

Lin Yu: Brothers are everything! Brothers come first! I'd do anything for my bros!

Jiang Linye: I'd go to heaven and climb into my bro. 😃

Childhood friends | Turning a straight guy gay | The pursuer's secret crush comes true

A light, sweet 1v1 romance, with occasional angst.

[Important]

This is a rambling story with no writing skill and no plot, just me getting back into writing for fun. I'm keen on describing a handsome pursuer and a beautiful pursued lead, with a highly comic-book-like style. Readers with high expectations for prose and plot, beware!

Theme: Sincerity is golden.
