Upcoming: Aren't You Supposed to Be a Bookworm? Please add it to your reading list! Blurb at the end.

[Bros to lovers / Explicit scenes / Virgin gets laid]

1.

Jiang Cheng meets his crush, a roommate who ticks every box on his list of ideal looks.

The socially anxious Jiang Cheng finally works up the courage to confess, only for the other guy to casually sling an arm around his shoulders and ask to become sworn brothers.

Jiang Cheng: ...I want to get with you, but you want us to be bros.

Jiang Cheng can only pretend to be straight and play along.

Han Xian is warm and outgoing, with no sense of boundaries. He asks Jiang Cheng to scrub his back in the shower, then squeezes into his bed naked.

At last, Jiang Cheng can't take it anymore. Facing Han Xian's touch every day is like going through withdrawal, so he can only keep his distance.

Just as Jiang Cheng is slowly getting over him, Han Xian suddenly corners him by the bathroom door. "Why are you ignoring me?"

Jiang Cheng gives up and lays it all out: "Because every time I get close to you, I'm plotting to get in your pants."

Han Xian's face turns green. After a long silence, he finally manages a few words: "I'm not gay."

Jiang Cheng: Got it.

2.

Heartbroken by a straight guy, Jiang Cheng decides to start a new relationship.

But on the first night of his new romance, as soon as he enters the dorm, the door slams shut behind him. A tall figure looms over him.

Han Xian, drunk and glassy-eyed, looks at him with a deep, dazed gaze. His voice is hoarse. "You're dating someone?"

Jiang Cheng is just about to nod when a flurry of kisses lands at the corner of his lips, tasting of alcohol.

"If I sleep with you once, will you talk to me again?"

Jiang Cheng: ?

3.

After a not-so-wonderful night, Jiang Cheng looks at the man lying beside him and suddenly regrets it...

Oh well. Having had his crush is enough. If he ever gets involved with another straight guy, he deserves to be a dog.

He casually tells Han Xian, "We can be bros from now on."

Han Xian opens his sleepy eyes and stares blankly for a moment. Then he narrows his eyes, rolls over, and pins Jiang Cheng beneath him. His fluffy head rubs against Jiang Cheng's ear, reminding him of the golden retriever back home.

"You want to be bros now? Was last night not good enough?"

A lovesick gay bottom with a crush on a straight guy, secretly seductive x a seemingly innocent but actually experienced, brazen top

Content warning: The bottom has an ex-boyfriend, but they never did it.

Upcoming: Aren't You Supposed to Be a Bookworm?

[Unknowingly seductive x innocent-looking schemer]

Transfer student Jiang Wanghan is a bookworm.

A pair of black-rimmed glasses is permanently perched on his nose, and his bangs cover his eyebrows, half-obscuring his eyes so you can't tell where he's looking.

Aside from studying, nothing seems to interest him.

Ye Ran thinks so too.

He's lively and energetic, wild and carefree, the center of attention wherever he goes.

There's no way he and Jiang Wanghan are from the same world.

Still, feeling it his duty to look after the new student, and confident that he can make friends with anyone, Ye Ran starts giving him special attention.

But... things turn out to be more difficult than he expected.

He buys Jiang Wanghan a soda, but Jiang Wanghan just turns away and keeps working on his problems.

He drags Jiang Wanghan out to play basketball, but Jiang Wanghan does practice problems on the court.

He puts an arm around Jiang Wanghan and tells everyone they're brothers. Jiang Wanghan's eyebrow twitches as he replies that he'll consider it once Ye Ran gets over 40 in math.

Ye Ran: …

Come on, his grades are only a little bad!

So what if Jiang Wanghan is top of the class?

A bookworm like him, who only knows how to study, must be so boring...

Popular as always, Ye Ran takes the rejection badly and decides to withdraw his special attention. From now on, they'll keep out of each other's way.

Until one day...

Jiang Wanghan corners him in the woods behind the school.

He's ditched those bothersome glasses, and his hair is neatly trimmed and styled. His hands are free of textbooks and practice books, and his breathing is heavy. The boy before him is nothing like the dazed bookworm Ye Ran remembers.

"What's the name of the guy who had his arm around you just now?"

- The top has a crush on the bottom [Important]

- The top is ridiculously handsome, but his glasses hide it

Theme: Have the courage to take risks.
