My Scheming Straight Male Deskmate

1. On the first day after transferring schools, Shu Huai witnessed two boys fighting over a girl.

He had face blindness and couldn't remember people. He vaguely recalled that one of the boys had a brow piercing and ear piercings, and was covered in so much metal he looked like a punk rocker made of steel plates.

Then that steel-plate punk became his new deskmate.

Shu Huai: Damn.

2. Qiu Jianxing had just finished dealing with a clingy admirer on behalf of his older sister. When he got back to class, he discovered he had a new deskmate.

His new deskmate had fair skin and striking looks, a classic Eastern beauty.

Too bad he couldn't recognize people.

There were only about fifty students and teachers in the school, but Shu Huai couldn't tell any of them apart. In his daily social life, he relied entirely on his deskmate, Qiu Jianxing, for help.

After secretly observing him for a long time, Qiu Jianxing discovered that Shu Huai's face blindness seemed to make an exception for him. No matter where they were, Shu Huai could recognize him at a glance.

After much thought, Qiu Jianxing reached a conclusion:

He must have a crush on me!

But I... am straight!

Straight guy Qiu Jianxing looked at his deskmate, heavy-hearted, and made a vow:

I, Qiu Jianxing, will find a way to make Shu Huai give up on me!

3. Shu Huai's face blindness greatly affected his daily life, but after transferring schools and meeting Qiu Jianxing, he got himself a smart face-recognition device, always online and ready to answer his questions.

Before long, Shu Huai noticed that Qiu Jianxing seemed to be deliberately distancing himself. He thought about it for two seconds and figured he might have been too obvious about treating his deskmate like a tool, so his deskmate was starting to protest.

So Shu Huai decided to pay Qiu Jianxing for his help: a carton of strawberry milk every morning, and one lollipop for every person he helped Shu Huai identify.

Shu Huai thought: That should do it.

But he noticed Qiu Jianxing looking at him more and more strangely. Then one day in PE, Qiu Jianxing pulled him into the equipment room. His gaze was full of the frustration of a father who couldn't live with his son's stupidity, and he spoke gravely, one word at a time:

"I know you have a crush on me, but I'm really straight."

Shu Huai: ?

Who has a crush on you?

4. Shu Huai had to work hard to explain that he really didn't have a crush on Qiu Jianxing, and was exhausted by the whole thing. But Qiu Jianxing didn't believe him, so he demanded:

"If you don't have a crush on me, how come you can always recognize me?"

Shu Huai fell silent. Shu Huai hesitated. Shu Huai answered tactfully:

"You stand out."

Qiu Jianxing: "?"

Seeing the confusion all over Qiu Jianxing's face, Shu Huai decided to be blunt. "You've got the most piercings. You're the easiest to recognize."

Qiu Jianxing: "..."

Qiu Jianxing was devastated.

He really doesn't have a crush on me! QAQ

5. Deeply shaken, Qiu Jianxing went home and took out all his piercings.

The next day, he stopped Shu Huai in the hallway, looking down at him with a threatening edge in his voice. "I took out all my piercings. Don't you dare fail to recognize me."

Shu Huai looked up at him, his dark eyes beautiful and clear. "What happens if I don't recognize you?"

Qiu Jianxing lowered his brows. His smile looked almost fierce. "If you don't recognize me..."

"Then I won't help you recognize people anymore."

Shu Huai: "..."
