Jing Shen is an exceptionally handsome college counselor who tutors a high school student on the side.

Although the student's home is gloomy and eerie, and supernatural creatures keep running around clutching their heads and dragging their intestines, the parents pay generously, so Jing Shen is quite pleased with the job.

Then one day, he unexpectedly runs into the student's guardian, whom he's never met before: the boy's older brother, Cheng Juyan.

Mr. Cheng Juyan is tall, handsome, and has an imposing presence: so imposing it's a little frightening.

But that doesn't matter. The man is generous with his money, so Jing Shen is decisively polite and friendly.

The next day, though, they meet again at school. Not far away lies a huge pool of blood left behind by a classmate who fell from a building.

Jing Shen politely introduces himself: "What a coincidence, Mr. Cheng. The person who died was a student in my class."

Cheng Juyan looks at the hideous ghosts following behind Jing Shen, drooling greedily: ...Ghost catnip?

Lately, Jing Shen feels that something is off. Unusual criminal cases keep happening around him, and apparently Mr. Cheng Juyan is the head of the Special Administration Bureau.

What's more, the man seems to have his eye on him.

Jing Shen carefully keeps pretending to be an ordinary person.

That is, until he's accidentally trapped at the bottom of a cliff, where he watches Cheng Juyan step by step toward him on stairs formed from countless wandering souls.

Jing Shen frowns, wondering if the stairs are sturdy enough.

And whether it would be a little too obvious if he kept pretending he couldn't see them.

After a Straight Guy Develops a Craving for Male Skinship

Shanzhu has been frail and sickly since childhood. After starting college, he develops a strange condition: if he goes too long without contact with another man, his whole body starts to hurt.

Terrified of pain, Shanzhu turns his attention to his three roommates.

Roommate One: A famous acting major who rose to fame young and has countless fans, gentle and elegant, with outstanding people skills and intelligence.

Roommate Two: A sunny, handsome 188-cm sports major with washboard abs and hormones to spare.

Roommate Three: A mysterious, aloof computer science genius, refined and ascetic, seemingly untouched by the mundane world.

What they have in common → They're handsome and completely straight.

Shanzhu: "Sorry, guys!"

To avoid being mistaken for a pervert, Shanzhu pulls out all the stops.

"Reading?" He pats Roommate One on the shoulder, and his headache goes away.

"Want to eat together?" He takes Roommate Two by the hand, and his stomach stops hurting.

"You're sweating." He touches Roommate Three's face, and his back stops hurting.

After an accident exposes his condition, Shanzhu finds that no one blames him. In fact, they're even more eager to cuddle up with him, doing everything they can to help him get better.

Shanzhu: "Don't ask. It's just brotherly love that moves the heavens."

But little by little, his condition evolves.

He stops hurting, but starts craving skinship. Simple touches are no longer enough. Only a tight hug can make him feel even a little better!

And his roommates start acting strangely, too.

His gentle first roommate holds him tightly in his arms and asks if he feels better.

His handsome second roommate holds his hand against his abs and asks if he likes them.

Even his cool, indifferent third roommate traps him against the desk.

"I heard kissing keeps the symptoms away for a whole day."

"Helping each other out once can keep you bouncing around for three days."

"The full workout can keep you safe for a week."

"Want to try?"

Shanzhu: Wait, why are all of you acting so weird?
