A story where a secret crush becomes reality.
Ji Cheng is being relentlessly pursued by the beauty queen of his department. At his wit's end, he asks Xu Zhengdu how to fend off this kind of obsessive pursuer.
Xu Zhengdu has plenty of admirers himself and has turned down many people, so he seems to know what he's talking about. He offers Ji Cheng a suggestion.
He says, "Easy. Just say you're gay."
A few days later, everyone knows the red-haired heartthrob from the Business and Economics Department is gay.
The gay guys start making their moves.
Ji Cheng turns to Xu Zhengdu for help again.
The beautiful, charming man gives him another suggestion.
He says, "Why not get someone to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
Ji Cheng takes his advice.
A few days later, rumors start going around that the red-haired heartthrob is into the untouchable beauty from the Film Directing Department, the one nobody can win over.
The very next day, that untouchable beauty posts four words on his social media: "It's not a rumor."
Everyone: "???"
Wait, if you weren't straight, you could've told us sooner!
