After My Online Romance Went Wrong with the Guy Next Door

‖ Jing Yao, a rich kid who loves bargain hunting, went on a losing streak in the low-rank bracket and angrily unleashed the power of money.

If he couldn't play, couldn't he hire someone to carry him?

Jing Yao: This game needs a little loving support (smile)

Shen Yichen just wanted to play a game to relax. Who knew he'd get saddled with this?

Some fool with more money than sense kept throwing money at him, one payment after another, calling him “hubby” with every other breath.

Shen Yichen: “I'm straight.”

You've received a V10 game bundle.

Shen Yichen: “And I don't do online dating.”

You've received 1,000,000 on WeChat.

Shen Yichen: Help, he's going to smash me into a mold.

I'm a respectable guy.

If he throws any more money at me, I'll really have to sell myself. Shen Yichen rubbed his face and could only give in. “Stop with the money, and I'll play with you.”

Jing Yao: “You're so nice, big bro o(*////▽////*)q”

Following the principle of “I don't care if you want it, as long as I'm happy,” Jing Yao called him “hubby” all day long, without a care in the world.

He was carefree and wild, living it up, until one day he ran into his good friend from the neighboring dorm in the hallway. He watched the friend open the familiar avatar frame, type a message, and send it.

The next second:

Bzzzt!

His phone rang in his hand.

Jing Yao: ...

The man he'd been calling “hubby” all this time was living right next door to him!?

He didn't like men? He didn't do online dating?

A pure and innocent friendship between two guys?!

He watched his good friend gaze at his phone with tender affection, then quietly took a step back and blocked him that very day.

Before he could pretend that everything was fine, a new roommate moved into their dorm.

That night, the curtain between their beds was pulled aside. Jing Yao huddled under his blanket, cowering, as the man he'd been calling “hubby” for over half a year lifted his chin.

“Classmate Jing, you don't want your other roommates to find out that you call me hubby every day, do you?”

Jing Yao: QAQ Big bro, big bro, actually, I'm the straight one. I really am!

“Too late.”

“Call me hubby.”
