The Eighth Year of Pretending to Be Gay with My Archrival
Blurb
It all began with a game of Truth or Dare.
In their senior year of high school, they were playing a game.
Someone asked Lu Ze, truth or dare? Without hesitation, Lu Ze chose dare.
The dare was to pretend to be in a gay relationship with his archrival, Cheng Ke. Whoever called it quits first would lose.
Lu Ze thought it was no big deal.
But from high school to college, and then after graduation,
their eighth year together was drawing to a close. Everyone who knew them thought they were a breath of fresh air in the gay community: childhood friends turned married couple, so devoted to each other that they were practically a model romance.
But Lu Ze was thinking: ...Damn it, when is that idiot Cheng Ke going to admit defeat? If this keeps up, I'm really going to turn gay!
*
The eighth year of being with Lu Ze was nearly over.
Lawyer Cheng had just finished a case when he received a text. The sender's contact name was "The Person I've Loved for a Long Time."
The message read: "You idiot, Cheng Ke. Pretend to be gay by yourself. I'm done playing. Goodbye, and don't ever see me again!"
So,
a client who had just come out of court saw Cheng Ke, the lawyer always hailed as "the gentlest in the business," go cold-faced.
He cut the client off, saying, "Sorry, something urgent has come up."
The client asked if he needed help.
Lawyer Cheng gritted his teeth. "No. My wife ran away."
Just catch him and give him a good scolding. That'll sort it out.
Couple: seemingly gentle and magnanimous but actually scheming, unhinged lawyer gong Cheng Ke x brawny, simple-minded, dark-skinned, handsome PE teacher shou Lu Ze
tips: In high school, the gong secretly loved the shou, one-sidedly.
After they got married, the shou thought he was the only one who loved the gong.
They got married and registered their marriage overseas.
