Love at first sight + relentless pursuit + successfully defeating the homewrecker and winning the guy]

After the college entrance exams, Shi Wei noticed a strange trend:

One after another, his friends started announcing that they were dating, and all their partners were the same sex.

After drifting around Gay Wharf for a long time, Shi Wei started feeling awkward.

He had to keep a careful distance from his friends so their boyfriends wouldn't get jealous.

This couldn't go on forever. He couldn't keep being the third wheel.

Just as he was about to flee the wharf, a childhood friend confessed to him.

He even promised they could try dating for a while, and if it didn't work out, they could go back to being friends.

Who knew that not long after they started dating, a man named Ning Du would suddenly show up?

Ning Du told Shi Wei that his current boyfriend was a two-faced schemer, dating him for ulterior motives, and advised him to break up as soon as possible.

Shi Wei: "And then?"

Ning Du: "Then you can be with me."

Later, Shi Wei discovered that he and Ning Du had a surprising number of friends in common, so they were both permanent fixtures at Gay Wharf.

Shi Wei suspected Ning Du was just looking for anyone to pair up with, so he turned him down once, twice, three times...

Until he discovered that things really were as Ning Du had said: his childhood friend had ulterior motives, while Ning Du wanted only him.
