Roommates in Name Only

University has beautiful beach sunsets, endless tree-lined paths, sweat-soaked sports fields, libraries packed with people, and years of carefree youth that flow quietly by.

And there's him, young, dashing, and full of confidence.

On the first day of university, Fu Wu's sleeping mat and bedding hadn't arrived yet, so he could only timidly ask his roommate Zhou Ziheng for help: "Could we squeeze into one bed?"

Zhou Ziheng looked utterly shocked, but finally agreed. They fell asleep in each other's arms, skin against skin, with romance filling the room.

When they woke up, Zhou Ziheng said, "I have a girlfriend."

Fu Wu said, "I'm straight."

Two liars shared a room and became good friends, throwing their arms around each other and calling each other brothers. They were both straight, after all, so teasing one another and stealing a little touch was perfectly normal.

One night, Fu Wu returned to the dorm and discovered his dirty clothes were gone.

His roommate Zhou Ziheng said, "I washed them while I was at it."

In the dead of winter, Fu Wu couldn't get out of bed and wanted to skip class.

His roommate Zhou Ziheng simply pulled off the covers.

Fu Wu thought, "There's something off about my roommate. Do brothers really do things like this for each other?"

Later, Fu Wu spilled a glass of water on his bed, soaking the bedding, and had no choice but to timidly ask Zhou Ziheng again, "Can I sleep in your bed with you tonight?"

Zhou Ziheng smiled, his eyes narrowing. "I've been waiting for you."

Coming soon: My Straight Childhood Friend Again

A new transfer student joined the class, and when Jin Cheng looked up,

he thought, Holy crap, it's the old classmate I had a crush on for a year.

Jin Cheng remembered that Jiang Yong transferred away in eighth grade, and he'd never heard from him again.

He never expected this straight guy to show up again three years later!

Jin Cheng decided to pretend they didn't know each other and never fall for him again.

Jiang Yong said, "Hey, can I sit next to you?"

To keep their pure friendship going for a long time, Jin Cheng thought it was best to keep his distance.

But Jiang Yong kept closing in.

They went to school together.

They ate together.

They even slept together in the same bed.

Jin Cheng couldn't take it anymore. "I'm gay, and I like someone. Please stay away from me."

"Who? The class president?"

Jin Cheng had no choice but to nod.

Jiang Yong said, "I'll help you win him over."

Jin Cheng: ???

Could anything in this world be more clueless than a straight guy?

Seeing Jin Cheng chatting and laughing with the class president,

Jiang Yong panicked, his thoughts a tangled mess. Damn it, I can't let that good cabbage get eaten by a pig! I'll eat it myself!

Note: They are each other's one and only. The class president is just a plot device.

Coming soon: The Hated Second Senior Brother Is Reborn

As the second senior brother of Wuyou Sect, Wen Mu had always been invisible.

The first senior brother was fabulously wealthy and paid for everything the sect needed, living like a king. No one dared disobey him.

The third junior sister was beautiful and sweet-tongued. One day she praised their master as handsome and dashing, the next she gave him a scented sachet and a jade hairpin. Their master was very fond of her.

The fourth junior brother was lively and clever, and was the first to reach the Golden Core stage. Everyone in the sect admired him.

Only Wen Mu was quiet and taciturn. People thought his personality, talent, and social skills were all mediocre. They said he might as well go farm down the mountain instead of cultivating immortality.

So when Wuyou Sect faced a great calamity and someone had to be sacrificed, everyone agreed without a word to send Wen Mu out.

"He wouldn't be any use if he stayed anyway."

"Even if he didn't go, he couldn't ascend after another thousand years of cultivation."

"He's achieved nothing. Sacrificing himself for the sect is a blessing for him."

Heartbroken, Wen Mu walked out. His Golden Core shattered, his soul split apart, and he was doomed to never be reborn.

With his final glance, he saw his sect celebrating. No one mourned his sacrifice.

He hated it. He hated Heaven's injustice and the coldness of people's hearts.

If he could start over, he would never be timid and submissive. He would become a true hero, too!

Then Wen Mu was reborn.

Whatever responsibilities came with his sect, whatever bonds he had with his fellow disciples, Wen Mu didn't care about any of it. He would be a second senior brother who had cut off all attachments and feelings, and focus on building his career!

The people who had hurt Wen Mu in his previous life saw that he had suddenly changed, that he was no longer easy to bully and had become cold and aloof. Instead, they all came crawling back, begging him to forgive them for their mistakes.

Wen Mu: Don't bother me while I'm ascending!
