After Becoming the Cannon Fodder Roommate of the Protagonist Couple

Cheng Xu transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder roommate of the main couple.

That roommate was vicious, selfish, and jealous. Because he harbored unspeakable desires for the male lead, he bullied the male lead's love interest for a whole month.

When Cheng Xu transmigrated into the book, he happened to be holding a basin of water, which he had just poured over the love interest's face.

Cheng Xu knew what came next: the cannon fodder would be exposed, branded a textbook bully, and eventually jump off a building, unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion. Without turning around, he knew the male lead was standing at the door, with the future villain, who would turn evil for love, behind him.

Bookworm Cheng Xu: "..."

I'm doomed!

To save himself, he kept a straight face and stared coolly at the love interest, who was drenched and looking down. His voice dripped with sarcasm. "You're not even going to fight back?"

The love interest: ?

The male lead, about to enter: ?

The future villain, furious enough to kill someone: ?

Cheng Xu pressed on. "Want me to beat you up again, you useless piece of trash?"

The love interest: ???

Thinking of how this person would later endure abuse from his awful relatives, be sent into a marriage alliance, suffer physically and emotionally before getting together with the male lead, and only get his revenge and reclaim his inheritance in the finale, Cheng Xu couldn't help sneering. "You've grown up this much, and all you've learned is how to put up with things?"

The love interest looked up, the corners of his eyes reddening, and stared at him for a full minute.

"...Thank you."

Then he punched him.

Cheng Xu covered his face. That hurt.

The original owner had used his impressive photo-editing skills to trick the wealthy second-generation heir, the love interest, who was using a secret identity.

The love interest was generous with money, if not much of a talker. Cheng Xu didn't want to get too involved with the main characters and had planned to end their relationship right away, but then he happened to see the love interest's social media post.

"Sometimes this world feels so unreal."

The accompanying photo showed a tall building.

Considering the love interest's past experience of being bullied, no matter how Cheng Xu analyzed it, the post seemed to hint at suicidal thoughts.

Not wanting to upset him, Cheng Xu reluctantly put off breaking up, while creating countless alt accounts to send him heartwarming messages.

As the messages kept coming, the love interest asked him to meet in person.

Cheng Xu was so startled that he immediately broke up with him.

Pei Zhen had been unwanted since childhood and was used to being bullied.

Even when Cheng Xu bullied him, he never thought to fight back. He always felt the world was too fake, and that was just how things were.

But after Cheng Xu bullied him that day, he suddenly stopped and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Pei Zhen didn't care.

Then he heard Cheng Xu say, "You've grown up this much, and all you've learned is how to put up with things?"

Pei Zhen fell silent for a long time.

When he looked up, he met the concern in Cheng Xu's eyes, along with his exasperation at Pei Zhen's failure to stand up for himself.

It was as if someone in this world actually cared about him.

Later, he found kindness from more people: Cheng Xu, his boyfriend, and a few strangers. He also reclaimed what belonged to him.

The one thing that troubled him was that his boyfriend kept putting off meeting in person.

Later, when Cheng Xu saw that Pei Zhen had started a new life, he promptly deleted him.

That night, he saw Pei Zhen walking toward him.

Pei Zhen looked at him, the corner of his mouth curling up, his gaze cool. The beauty mark at the corner of his eye seemed to be sneering too.

Pei Zhen cornered him in the dormitory.

Cheng Xu thought Pei Zhen had come to get revenge on him, so he shut his eyes in terror. But Pei Zhen lifted his chin and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you really that unwilling to see me, boyfriend?"

Cheng Xu: ? When did he figure it out?
