The Straight Roommate Keeps Secretly Drinking My Cola

My new novel is out! If you think it sounds interesting, come check it out.

Song Tianxi is the most beautiful student in the dance department. He specializes in classical dance, with flawless technique and grace. In a gauzy skirt, he is as lovely as a lotus rising from the water, stunning everyone around him.

Dancers have to keep in shape, but Song Tianxi has a sweet tooth. To keep his slender waist free of extra fat, he only allows himself three sips of the cola he buys each day.

But someone is actually stealing the cola he leaves behind?!

Song Tianxi: Whenever I drink cola, I lick every last drop of syrup off the bottle opening. How can someone not mind that?

The culprit is soon found: Su Yan, the volleyball team captain from the sports department, who shares Song Tianxi's dorm. He's tall, strong, handsome, and arrogant, known as "X University's Last Straight Man of Steel." Plenty of guys have tried their luck confessing to him, only to be crushed without mercy by his icy words.

Song Tianxi: I'm as gay as they come. How can someone not mind that?

Su Yan's strange behavior grows more and more outrageous:

In the morning, he slips warm, calcium-enriched skim milk into Song Tianxi's pocket.

At night, he insists on climbing into Song Tianxi's bed curtains and holding him as they sleep.

He doesn't mind that Song Tianxi only takes three sips of his cola. He gulps down the rest, then smacks his lips, savoring it.

In everyone's eyes, "X University's Last Straight Man of Steel" has bent into a steel-wool scrubber. There's no saving him.

Song Tianxi gradually falls under the spell of this attentive affection.

During their nightly dance practice, he likes to lift one leg and press it toward the towering figure standing nearly 190 centimeters tall, pinning Su Yan against the floor-to-ceiling mirror. He leans close to Su Yan's Adam's apple and says in a sweet, syrupy voice, "What do you eat to get so tall? My leg's getting sore from stretching it out."

It isn't until Song Tianxi overhears Su Yan chatting with his teammates that he learns the truth: Captain Su has mistaken him for the child of an acquaintance and has been taking care of him for that reason.

Su Yan, hands in his pockets, scoffs. "Gays are disgusting. If it weren't for my family's business, why would I bother waiting on him?"

So all that affection had been a misplaced act of charity.

Song Tianxi moves out of the dorm.

×××

In Song Tianxi's new dorm, there's another handsome, dark-skinned guy named Song Tianxi. Most importantly, he's one of his kind.

Of course. Gays are happiest with other gays. Straight guys can all go to hell!

Song Tianxi leaves a hotel with his new roommate, and someone rushes out like a madman and throws his arms around him, crying.

Su Yan has spent the whole night waiting outside the hotel. His gaunt face looks as if every last drop of blood has been drained from him. Even someone who once stood above everyone else can fall to the very bottom.

As he holds Song Tianxi, he can't bring himself to open his eyes, terrified of seeing marks on the other man's body. He begs as if he were already dead.

"I don't like you because I hate gay people. I just happen to like someone who's a boy."

"Tian Tian, I was wrong. Please don't leave me, okay?"

[Major trigger warnings]

1. My writing is terrible. (Hands in pockets) (Sighs at the sky) (Exposes myself) (Wears a miserable smile)

2. The bottom has a cross-dressing scene, so steer clear if that's not your thing!

3. A little groveling arc, though it might get pretty intense. That depends on where my runaway outline takes me.

(Note: The bottom has a new suitor, but they only hold hands. Nothing else happens. If that's a dealbreaker, please move along.)

4. A light, everyday story with little angst. Bring tissues for the groveling arc, and bring more tissues for the sweet parts later. (Smiles knowingly)

A special recommendation: my friend's work, "I Save the World by Running a Supermarket"

After the apocalypse begins, disasters strike one after another and humanity's living space keeps shrinking.

Yan Rui, who has survived ten years of the apocalypse, is reborn three months before it begins.

All Yan Rui wants after being reborn is to avoid being so helpless when the coming apocalypse arrives.

Luckily, he has a little supermarket, so stocking up won't look suspicious.

But something strange seems to have happened to the supermarket.

The ordinary little shop has somehow gained the ability to travel between different planes.

System: Want to save the world? Stay close and come along with me!

Yan Rui: "...Let me take a moment."

A vast, frozen wasteland becomes an essential resource hub.

The zombie apocalypse, full of danger, makes him rich overnight.

There's also a chivalrous world of ancient martial arts,

a starship from a civilization with far more advanced technology,

a heart-pounding horror card game,

and more...

Yan Rui only wanted to live a quiet little life of his own.

But by trading goods acquired during his travels between worlds,

he becomes a renowned "Savior."

Natural disasters can't touch him, and monsters keep their distance.

Yan Rui's name becomes humanity's hope for survival.

*

In an apocalypse plagued by constant disasters and rampant monsters, there's a legend:

[When you're trapped with no way out, just repeat Yan Rui's name, and you'll be given a chance to survive.]

Yan Rui: "..."

I'm not! I didn't! I'm really just a supermarket owner!
