The Teasing Underclassman Played Me

[This work is exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City. The full novel costs only 3.3 yuan. Please support the official edition. Thank you!]

Xia Yu, the campus heartthrob and aloof beauty of H University's Foreign Languages Department, has a secret: he's "homophobic."

Because of his striking looks, countless love letters are delivered to Xia Yu's dorm and mailbox every day. Plenty of people have confessed to him in person, too, but Xia Yu has always turned them down.

Then, in his second year, a handsome freshman of a completely different type caught his eye.

The freshman greeted him with great enthusiasm. "Hi, my name is Shi Xingye."

"Hi, I'm Xia Yu."

From then on, Shi Xingye always found all kinds of excuses to stick close to Xia Yu.

He enthusiastically invited him to meals and ball games, and casually slung an arm around Xia Yu's neck as he introduced him to his classmates and roommates: "Yu and I are best bros, right?"

Mm-hm, Xia Yu nodded.

Just best bros.

Since the two of them spent so much time together, Xia Yu had wondered if the freshman liked him and was just playing him. He had even tried to distance himself from him.

Later, Xia Yu realized that all his "homophobic" hang-ups vanished when it came to Shi Xingye. He wanted to get close to him, kiss him, and even be with him.

And Shi Xingye had been deliberately getting close to him from the very beginning.

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

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

My upcoming novel:

"Did My Handsome Roommate Ask Me Out to Dinner?"

Ning Zhi, the cool beauty of H University, has intermittent anorexia. The only way he can eat is by looking at a handsome guy's face.

He sets his sights on his new roommate, Jiang Hengyan.

The other guy is 188 centimeters tall, handsome, and good at basketball. He's exactly Ning Zhi's type.

Tsk, too bad he's straight.

Still, having a straight guy around is fine. They can be nothing more than dinner buddies. Ning Zhi has principles and never flirts with straight men.

Jiang Hengyan suspects his new roommate has a crush on him.

This roommate has red lips and pearly white teeth, is prettier than a girl, and has a waist and legs even slimmer than a girl's. Most importantly, he's so frail he looks like a breeze could knock him over.

The first time Ning Zhi asked Jiang Hengyan to dinner, Jiang Hengyan agreed, figuring he couldn't turn him down, and looked for a chance to make him give up: "What's so great about men? Why like men? Girls are so cute."

Ning Zhi: "Mm. Oh."

It seemed he hadn't caught the hint.

The second time Ning Zhi invited Jiang Hengyan to dinner, Jiang Hengyan decided to be more direct: "I like a girl."

Ning Zhi looked at him through his long lashes. "Oh."

Jiang Hengyan frowned. Why wasn't he reacting? Was he still refusing to give up?

The third time...

The fourth time...

The fifth time... Ning Zhi seemed to have stopped asking Jiang Hengyan to dinner. He had found someone new.

Watching Ning Zhi walk and chat with another tall, handsome guy, his peach-blossom eyes constantly darting toward the other man, Jiang Hengyan couldn't sit still. He shot to his feet with a bang and strode over to them. "Who is he? Why aren't you asking me to dinner anymore?"

Much later, as he watched Jiang Hengyan, a big puppy who wanted to cling to him every second and was afraid someone would steal him away, Ning Zhi smiled knowingly. "Straight? You like girls?"

Jiang Hengyan hugged him in defeat. "I was wrong. I only like you."
