He's Not What I Expected

Before they got married, Jiang Qi knew he and Lu Jinze were nothing alike.

Jiang Qi was handsome, playful, and mischievous. In the eyes of others, he was a rich young man who did nothing all day.

Lu Jinze, on the other hand, was practical and hardworking. He had built the Lu Group with his own two hands and was a ruthless, decisive force in business, feared wherever he went.

Everyone in their circle knew they had no feelings for each other. So when the Jiang family went bankrupt and the two started talking about divorce, nobody found it surprising.

On the day of the divorce, Jiang Qi sat at the table, cool and distant, waiting for Lu Jinze to sign. Then he suddenly heard Lu Jinze's thoughts: [I can't bear to let him go.]

"What?" Jiang Qi thought he had misheard. He looked up at Lu Jinze, who glanced back at him suspiciously, not seeming to have said anything.

Jiang Qi lowered his head, only to hear Lu Jinze's thoughts again: [I can't bear to let him go.]

"You can't bear to let me go?" Jiang Qi suddenly changed his mind. Smiling brightly, he pressed a hand to the contract and gave Lu Jinze a flirtatious wink. "Then why don't we give this another try?"

Lu Jinze barely hesitated before slipping the pen back into its cap. "Okay."

**

Jiang Qi used to think Lu Jinze was a stuffy old-fashioned type, conservative in every way. He wouldn't even bat an eye if the most beautiful person in the world stood right in front of him.

But now, everything had changed.

[Qiqi's legs are so long.]

[Qiqi's butt is so perky.]

[Qiqi is so beautiful.]

Jiang Qi could stand it no longer. He lunged forward and pinned Lu Jinze against the wall. "Are you really so repressed that you only think these things to yourself, instead of opening your mouth to say something nice to me?"

Lu Jinze really was repressed. He lowered his head and showed Jiang Qi through his actions: [Qiqi's lips are so sweet.]

Coming soon:

"The Underclassman Played Me"

Xia Yu, the foreign language department's campus heartthrob and untouchable flower at H University, has a secret: he's "afraid of gay people."

Because he's so handsome, countless love letters are delivered to his dorm and mailbox every day, and plenty of people confess to him in person. Xia Yu always turns them down.

Then, in his sophomore year, a handsome freshman who was nothing like him caught his eye.

The freshman greeted him enthusiastically. "Hi, my name is Shi Xingye."

"Hi, I'm Xia Yu."

From then on, Shi Xingye was always finding excuses to stick close to Xia Yu.

He eagerly invited him to meals and basketball games, and casually draped an arm around Xia Yu's neck to introduce him to his classmates and roommates. "Yu and I are good buddies, right?"

Xia Yu nodded.

Just good buddies.

Since they were spending so much time together, Xia Yu did wonder if the freshman liked him and was trying to trick him. He even tried to distance himself from him.

Later, Xia Yu discovered that all his "fear of gay people" quirks disappeared around Shi Xingye. He wanted to get closer to him, kiss him, and even be with him.

And Shi Xingye had been getting close to him from the start because he was deliberately trying to win him over.

"Am I still your friend?" Much later, Shi Xingye leaned close to Xia Yu's ear, his breath brushing the side of his neck as he asked with a smile.

"No," Xia Yu said, blushing. "You're my boyfriend."
