How Did My Childhood Friend Turn Gay?

Summer stretched on, and the classroom was bright and noisy between lessons.

"Quiet down." The homeroom teacher's voice suddenly rang out, silencing the whole room. "I'd like to introduce a new classmate. He just transferred here. Go ahead and introduce yourself."

A crisp, decisive voice followed. "Qi Luo."

Yu Jing had been dozing on his desk. At that, he lifted his head.

The boy at the front wore a black T-shirt. His gaze was hostile and his expression indifferent, making him look like someone best avoided.

But Yu Jing looked at him with admiration. He was handsome, really good-looking, and just as striking as his own deskmate.

As Yu Jing admired the view, someone suddenly turned his head by force.

"What are you doing?" Yu Jing said, immediately fixing his messed-up hair.

His deskmate looked even grumpier than the boy at the front. He drew a heavy line across the math test Yu Jing had just taken and said coldly, "Do it again."

Later, on the day the college entrance exams ended, Qi Luo, who was always icy toward people, stopped Yu Jing as he was leaving the exam hall.

"What is it?" Yu Jing asked, looking at him. They were about to graduate, after all, and he really would miss his classmates.

He thought Qi Luo was going to invite him on a trip or out to eat. But the usually aloof boy suddenly blushed and asked, "Did you read the love letter? The one in your desk."

Yu Jing stared blankly. "Love letter?"

Then he realized what Qi Luo meant and hurried to explain, "I'm straight."

Qi Luo didn't seem discouraged. He tentatively asked, "Could you make an exception for me?"

Yu Jing: Huh? I don't think that's going to work :)

Just as he was wondering how to answer, someone came up behind him and pulled him away.

Yu Jing turned around and saw his deskmate.

"Good buddy." Yu Jing patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder. "I knew I could count on you when it mattered. We really did grow up together."

Jiang Lin ignored him and kept pulling him along. Unlike his usual gentle self, he gripped Yu Jing's arm so tightly his fingers nearly dug into the flesh.

Yu Jing didn't notice and kept talking. "Qi Luo said he wrote me a love letter and put it in my desk. How come I never saw it? Did you see it?"

Jiang Lin usually packed Yu Jing's schoolbag for him, so he was the first person Yu Jing thought to ask.

Sure enough, Jiang Lin stopped when he heard that.

"I saw it."

"Where is it?"

"I threw it away."

Yu Jing: ?

"Why?"

Jiang Lin turned to look at him, his eyes dark and intent. "Because I like you too. So could you stop looking at him and look at me?"

Yu Jing: ???
