Why Don't You Like Me Yet?

Xu ZHimu is the most sought-after beauty in the School of Biology, distant and cool toward everyone. But he has a secret: he's been in love with He Mingzhou from the School of Cross-Information Studies for three years. Unfortunately, He Mingzhou is completely straight and only likes women.

So Xu ZHimu has no choice but to keep his feelings hidden, not daring to reveal a thing.

**

Xu ZHimu and He Mingzhou finally become friends. He Mingzhou treats him well, invites him over to play with his three cats, secretly travels a thousand miles to celebrate his birthday, and stands up for him when someone gives him a hard time.

Xu ZHimu can no longer keep his emotions under control.

One night, after getting drunk, he can't help kissing He Mingzhou.

He Mingzhou isn't homophobic, but he always keeps his distance from people he's not interested in, afraid of giving them false hope.

Thinking He Mingzhou might start avoiding him and treating him coldly, Xu ZHimu's muddled mind clears in an instant. Seeing He Mingzhou's stunned expression, he tells a huge lie: "Sorry, I just mistook you for the guy I'm secretly in love with."

He Mingzhou gives a quiet "Mm," as if he doesn't care.

**

The guy Xu ZHimu claims to have a crush on has come to visit Peking University. Xu ZHimu takes him around campus, treats him to a meal, and takes him to play basketball.

That night, He Mingzhou asks if he had a good time.

Remembering the lie he told He Mingzhou, Xu ZHimu puts on a happy expression. "Yeah, we both had a great time. Do you think I might have a chance if I pursue him?"

As soon as he finishes speaking, there is a crash, and the table breaks.

Xu ZHimu jumps and looks at He Mingzhou.

Backlit, He Mingzhou's expression seems gloomy. He grits out the words: "You won't succeed. He's straight. Straight men don't like men. Give up."

Thinking that He Mingzhou will never like a man, Xu ZHimu lowers his head, feeling a little miserable.

Later, the guy Xu ZHimu claims to have a crush on gets a girlfriend. Remembering the persona he's created in front of He Mingzhou, Xu ZHimu puts on a wounded expression and prepares ten bottles of beer for a dramatic scene of getting drunk over lost love.

But as soon as he opens a bottle, someone snatches it away.

Complex emotions surge through He Mingzhou's eyes like waves. Through gritted teeth, he says, "Xu ZHimu, is he really that great? Do you really like him that much?"

He grabs Xu ZHimu by the shoulders and forces him to lift his head, making him look only at him. "Xu ZHimu, can't you open your eyes and look at the person beside you who likes you?"

Xu ZHimu: Someone who likes me? Who?

He Mingzhou: Who do you think?

[An adorable summer romance. After drinking ocean after ocean of jealousy, I realize I'm jealous of myself.]

[From one-sided love to mutual pining]

[Cool, gentle, aloof top x gentle, laid-back cat-type bottom]

Preorder: What Do You Know About a Man's Best Dowry? Check it out on my profile.

After getting drunk, Shang Song'an slept with a man. And because his head was pounding, he couldn't remember the bastard's face at all.

Every time he thinks about it, Shang Song'an flies into a rage and goes completely wild.

Secretary Jiang calmly tries to reason with him. "Mr. Shang, it was just a one-night stand. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Shang Song'an laughs in disbelief. "What do you mean, just a one-night stand? That was my first time! Secretary Jiang, do you even know that chastity is a man's best dowry?!!"

The more Shang Song'an thinks about it, the more annoyed he gets. "Your best dowry is still intact. How can mine be gone?"

Secretary Jiang calmly replies, "Mine's gone, too."

Shang Song'an stops flipping through the files and stares at his secretary, Jiang Yu: fair-skinned, cool-headed, rational, and looking like a character from a comic.

**

Jiang Yu didn't think much of sleeping with his boss once.

That is, until Secretary Jiang, who did a hundred crunches, a hundred planks, and a hundred pull-ups every day, noticed his abs disappearing, his belly growing, and occasional bouts of aching and nausea. He hurried to the hospital for a checkup.

The doctor looks at the report, wearing a complicated expression. "You..."

Secretary Jiang remains calm. "Go on. I can take it."

Doctor: "You're pregnant."

Secretary Jiang: "I'm a man."

Doctor: "That's why I'm worried you might not be able to take it."

Secretary Jiang: "...Damn, I really might not be able to take this."
