I Captured My Younger Brother's Roommate

Cen Yiqing goes to his younger brother Cen Yuan's school to find him. On the basketball court, a vibrant young man leaps up and slam-dunks the ball. His movements are nimble and smooth, making him impossible to miss. After the game, Cen Yuan puts an arm around the young man's shoulder and introduces him to his brother. "Bro, this is our new roommate." The new roommate is tall and slender, with an impassive face. Yet he keeps staring at Cen Yiqing. Cen Yiqing: "Do you know me?" The young man turns his head away. Cen Yiqing asks his name. "Shen Chao." His voice is cool. Standing right in front of Cen Yiqing, he lowers his gaze, fixing it on him with an almost imperceptible air of aggression. "My name is Shen Chao." Cen Yiqing often visits Cen Yuan at school and treats him and his roommates to meals. Of all of them, only Shen Chao never calls him "Bro." Shen Chao is aloof and quiet, always avoiding eye contact with him. Cen Yiqing thinks he doesn't like him very much. But when Cen Yiqing falls ill, Shen Chao clutches him with a hand hot enough to alarm him and begs in a low voice, "Could you stay with me a little longer?" When Cen Yiqing drinks, Shen Chao silently carries him back, wipes his face, gives him water, and takes care of him with endless patience. When someone hits on Cen Yiqing, Shen Chao unreasonably drags him away, then unreasonably kisses him and says: "Cen Yiqing, I'm better than him in every way. Look at me. I swear I'll be good to you and only you." Cen Yiqing is being pursued by his younger brother's roommate, who's six years younger than him. And, to his great dismay, it seems he's falling for him. Bonus scene: Later, Cen Yuan goes to his brother's apartment to stay the night, as usual, but the one who opens the door is his good roommate Shen Chao, who's been out all night for two days straight. Cen Yuan: ? Shen Chao thinks of Cen Yiqing, who he kept busy all afternoon and is now resting, worn out. He doesn't let Cen Yuan in and calmly sends him away. "Your brother's already asleep. Go back to your dorm." Cen Yuan: Oh. Cen Yuan: ??? But it's so early. Cen Yuan: !!!!!!!!

That day, after his date leaves, Lu Xuefeng remains seated in his spot at the restaurant. Soon, someone walks up with steady steps and sits down across from him. He assumes his date has forgotten something. But when he looks up, he meets a pair of unfamiliar, clear eyes. "In a hurry to get married? Try it with me." / Song Muqing is a professor in the biology department at Z University. He's handsome, kind, and from a good family. Lu Xuefeng thinks he can marry this man, and even feels as though he's getting the better end of the deal.

The lecture hall is packed, but one person who shouldn't be there stands out in the crowd. Why has the famous Professor Song from the biology department come to hear a lecture?! A student, unable to contain their curiosity, asks him. Song Muqing's gaze remains fixed on the person onstage. He's wearing a black mock-neck shirt, showing a little of his pale neck. Only Song Muqing knows that beneath the fabric are the marks he left the night before. After a moment, he slowly replies with a question: "Is it wrong to come see the person I love?" ◎ Biology professor × dance production director ◎ A gentle, refined seme who's not actually abstinent × a cool, slow-to-warm, beautiful uke ◎ Married life between adults, guaranteed sweetness.
