Jiang Jianming is straight. He has a super handsome childhood friend, Shi Wen, who treats him incredibly well.
They grew up sharing everything. Shi Wen brings him soup when he eats, helps him with his homework, and coaxes him into taking medicine when he's sick...
Their friends all say they'll end up gay sooner or later.
But Jiang Jianming just waves it off. "No way. We're best friends."
Their friendship is unbreakable, as straight as steel.
They drink from the same cup of milk tea. Their friend says, "You two are so gay."
Shi Wen says, "We're brothers. What's wrong with sharing a cup of milk tea?"
Jiang Jianming says, "Exactly."
They sleep in the same bed. Their friend says, "You two are so gay."
Shi Wen says, "We've shared a bed since we were kids. Don't you have any brothers?"
Jiang Jianming says, "Exactly."
They help each other out in bed. Jiang Jianming grows a little confused. "Isn't something kind of off here?"
Shi Wen says, "It's perfectly normal. Straight guys do this all the time."
Jiang Jianming says, "What? Straight guys all do this?"
Later, when Jiang Jianming decides to get a girlfriend, his childhood friend tells him he likes him.
If he wants a girlfriend, he can't have Shi Wen. If he wants Shi Wen, he can't have a girlfriend.
Jiang Jianming: "???"
???????
When Shi Wen confesses, Jiang Jianming runs away, but Shi Wen runs even faster.
He's nowhere to be found at mealtimes, he's not in the classroom, and his clothes are gone from their dorm room. He even packs the tissues in his suitcase.
The person who used to be inseparable from him is about to disappear for good.
Jiang Jianming panics and grabs his suitcase. "Can't you give me a little time to prepare?!"
Shi Wen: "How long do you need, a day or two?"
Jiang Jianming: "...Could you give me a little longer?"
Shi Wen: "I can't hold back. I can't stand the thought of you holding someone else's hand."
Jiang Jianming turns beet red, flustered and furious. "I've never held anyone's hand but yours!"
