My Handsome Straight Childhood Friend Has His Eye on Me

-

At the basketball court, Jian Xingran spots his childhood friend, whom he hasn’t seen in three years, and hurries over to say hello.

“Long time no see!”

Light flashes off Lin Qiong’s glasses, making it impossible for Jian Xingran to read his expression.

Only then does he realize that his old buddy, once sickly and frail, is now half a head taller than him.

Lin Qiong narrows his eyes with a smile and opens his arms, inviting the other to come closer.

“We’re brothers, aren’t we? How about a hug?”

Jian Xingran instinctively goes to sling an arm over his shoulder, but a powerful force pulls him into Lin Qiong’s embrace. It takes him a moment to realize:

Lin Qiong’s palm is so hot... And since when does a bro hug involve running a hand down someone’s back all the way to their tailbone?

Lin Qiong used to hate the whole “brothers, buddies” routine. Even when people were close, there was nowhere to put feelings that crossed the line.

Then he figured it out.

We’re brothers, so what’s wrong with showing him the chest and abs I worked so hard to build?

He’s already seen them, so it’s only natural to let him have a feel and appreciate the results, right?

And since he’s already touched them, what’s wrong with taking things a little further?

“Why did you stop?”

Jian Xingran pressed his hands together and begged softly, “I’m kind of tired...”

Lin Qiong patted his well-defined chest and smilingly rejected his request.

“Where’d all that talk about having endless stamina go? Keep going.”

Jian Xingran × Lin Qiong

Handsome, straight-laced top × brooding childhood-friend bottom

Reader’s guide:

1. Beautiful and strong. The bottom spoils the top and pursues him.

2. A straight guy gets turned gay, with the top constantly getting felt up in the name of brotherly loyalty. (We’re bros, I’ve got your back.jpg)
