Pretending to Be a Gay Best Friend

Nine years after Gu Zhi Xing, Lu Qing's childhood friend, left the country, he suddenly returned. She was surprised to discover that he seemed to like men.

As a seasoned fujoshi, she treated him like one of the girls and kept gushing to him about her favorite star. "Chen Yan is so handsome, sings so well, and acts so well. He's the man of my dreams."

Gu Zhi Xing was unimpressed. "Is he really that great?"

Lu Qing: "He's practically perfect. I'd willingly gain ten pounds just to see him once."

Gu Zhi Xing glanced at Lu Qing, who was as thin as a stick, then called his good friend Chen Yan to invite him out for a meal.

When Lu Qing met Chen Yan, she wasn't nearly as excited as she'd imagined. The person who shone on screen didn't seem as handsome in real life as Gu Zhi Xing, and his voice wasn't as nice as Gu Zhi Xing's either... She instinctively glanced at Gu Zhi Xing sitting beside her. How had she never realized he was the real catch? Too bad he was one of the girls.

Later, Gu Zhi Xing got drunk. Lu Qing took him home, only for him to pin her down on the sofa. His voice was hoarse, touched with the haze of drink. "Am I not good enough?"

Lu Qing nodded, then shook her head. "You're the best to me, but you're one of the girls, aren't you?"

He lowered his head and kissed her. His deep eyes were like an abyss in the dark. "Who's one of the girls? How about being your boyfriend?"

Gu Zhi Xing had always thought love meant protecting someone and helping them get what they wanted. It wasn't until he saw Lu Qing standing with another man that he realized love meant possession and irrationality.

He wanted her all to himself.

A little scene:

At an event, Lu Qing accidentally sat beside Chen Yan. Seeing this, Gu Zhi Xing sat down between them at lightning speed.

Pushed to the side, Lu Qing looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhi Xing leaned close and whispered in her ear, "Don't get too close to him. You can only look at me."

Theme: Love is irrational.
