My Handsome Roommate Is Acting Strange

[The mainland simplified Chinese edition has been canceled. New bonus chapters are being posted on Weibo: @Jinjiang Changye Manman] Jiang Yubai, the art department's heartthrob at A University, is immensely talented and born beautiful. His long, delicate fingers are especially gorgeous, like works of art. At the start of his sophomore year, Jiang Yubai had to move into Room 611 in the Finance Department dormitory, where he became roommates with Lu Jinyan, A University's famous campus heartthrob. Lu Jinyan is 190 centimeters tall, with eight-pack abs and a perfect V-shaped waist. He's renowned as the ultimate dream guy in gay circles, and after being harassed too much, he had to change his social media bio to: “Straight. Not interested.” When Jiang Yubai moved into the dorm, Lu Jinyan was shirtless, proudly showing off his abs. Jiang Yubai glanced once, then bashfully looked away. A beauty from the art department had joined Room 611, so Lu Jinyan warmly took the initiative to help his new roommate fit in. Then one day, while Jiang Yubai was alone in the dorm, he opened a short video and was caught in the act by Lu Jinyan, who had come back to grab something. Jiang Yubai: “...” Lu Jinyan started being more reserved. He shut the bathroom door when he showered, dressed warmly even in the middle of summer, and would leap away like lightning if they accidentally touched. Jiang Yubai felt a little disappointed. To ease the awkwardness, he had no choice but to lie and say, “You don't need to worry. I actually have a boyfriend.” Lu Jinyan: “?” Jiang Yubai's perks returned. The campus heartthrob played basketball while showing off his abs, came out of the shower without drying off, put his arm around him and cuddled him whenever he got the chance, and even insisted on sharing a bed with him at night. Jiang Yubai: Is this how straight guys act with their friends? Later, Lu Jinyan took advantage of living so close and pursued him relentlessly, sounding jealous as he asked, “Was your ex better, or am I?” Jiang Yubai: “You... Only you...” Sunny on the outside, scheming and devoted to his lover on the inside seme x unaware of his own allure, talented and well-behaved beauty uke 1.

Ji Su comforted her. Seeing his innocent yet alluring face, the senior begged him through tears to help her get revenge. Ji Su was confused. “Senior, I'm a guy.” The senior said fiercely, “That's exactly why! And because you're bigger than he is, you have to teach him how dangerous online dating can be!” Ji Su: “...” To help the senior get revenge, Ji Su used an alternate account to add the scumbag on WeChat and racked his brain every day trying to keep the conversation going. But no matter how many messages he sent, from good morning to good night, the scumbag never replied. Then one day, Ji Su sent the scumbag a photo. In it, he wore loose shorts that revealed a stretch of long, shapely thigh. The skin was pale and smooth, with a soft fullness, and a red mole dotted the flesh on his outer thigh. This time, the other person replied immediately: “Are those your legs in the photo?” * Ji Su realized that the scumbag senior was obsessed with legs and kept making excuses to ask him for leg photos. To avoid revealing his gender, Ji Su could only buy a skirt online and obediently take leg photos to send to his senior. The senior went from cold and distant to actively chatting with him, buying him all kinds of pretty skirts, giving him tickets to the concert he most wanted to see, and even sending him pictures of his eight-pack abs and V-line... As the senior fell deeper and deeper, he couldn't help asking to meet in person. Ji Su's revenge plan was nearly complete. But what he never expected was that the scumbag senior was Gu Zhao, A University's hugely popular campus heartthrob, a 192-centimeter-tall, cool and aloof law student who was rumored to hate gay people. Ji Su panicked and secretly blocked him on WeChat, afraid the campus heartthrob would recognize him. But what he feared came to pass: they began running into each other more and more, and the campus heartthrob's gaze grew increasingly inscrutable. Later, Gu Zhao pulled him onto his lap and personally dressed him in a high-slit cheongsam. He gently touched the red mole on Ji Su's thigh and asked in a suggestive, dangerous tone, “Baby, why don't you call me hubby anymore?” Ji Su: “Hubby, I'm sorry, sob...” Alluring, unaware-of-his-own-charm beauty uke x cold, scheming campus heartthrob seme [Upcoming novel: Could You Stop Pretending?] During the second semester of his sophomore year in high school, Xia Xun transferred to Nanyang High School with his stepmother, who had remarried. On the way home after school on his first day, Xia Xun walked past an alley with a lollipop in his mouth and spotted a tall figure surrounded by people. He was just about to go over and watch when the boy punched one of the thugs to the ground, then kicked another yellow-haired punk three meters away. The boy wiped the blood from his lips and turned around. The lollipop fell right out of Xia Xun's mouth. Damn, wasn't this his supposedly well-behaved and academically gifted stepbrother? * That evening, the two officially met at the villa. Xia Xun gave a thin smile. “Nice to meet you. What a memorable first impression.” Lu Yu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and returned a warm, polite smile. “Don't worry, your big brother will take good care of you.” But when Xia Xun came out of the shower, he was immediately pinned behind the door. His stepbrother, the top student in the whole school, looked down at him through lowered lashes and said casually, “Since we're living under the same roof, let's stay out of each other's way.” Xia Xun lifted his damp face. “And what if I don't?” Lu Yu's gaze darkened. “You're welcome to find out.” * Xia Xun discovered that his stepbrother was a sanctimonious hypocrite. He smoked and drank in private, yet played the perfect big brother in front of their parents. Xia Xun wasn't about to let that slide, and seized every chance to trip him up. They acted like the most loving brothers in public, but openly and covertly they were at each other's throats, with sparks flying every day. Then one day, someone made a very public confession to Xia Xun at school. Lu Yu frowned, coldly sent the suitor away, and grabbed Xia Xun to drag him off. Xia Xun was furious and flustered. “Even if you were my real brother, what right would you have to tell me who I can date?” Lu Yu gritted his teeth. “If you're so desperate to date someone, then date me.” Xia Xun froze. “Are you crazy?” But Lu Yu pinned him tightly against his chest, his voice restrained yet turbulent. “I went crazy the moment I met you...” Beautiful, proud uke who never backs down from a fight x refined scoundrel seme who plays the long game Theme: Everyone has the right to strive for happiness
