Zong Xun likes Yan Yi, an upperclassman one year ahead of him.
He went to great lengths to become close friends with Yan Yi before he graduated from high school.
Just as Zong Xun thought the time was right to confess, another boy beat him to it.
“So you went to all that trouble to get close to me because you like me?”
“I hate gays the most. Don't let me see you again. It's disgusting to be liked by you.”
Yan Yi coldly rejected the boy, his tone full of disgust.
Zong Xun happened to witness the confession. Feeling sorry for the boy and dreading the same fate, he watched his young heart shatter into pieces.
After that, Zong Xun quietly kept his feelings hidden, afraid to let Yan Yi find out.
But things didn't go as he hoped. A chance incident at university still revealed his sexual orientation to Yan Yi.
As luck would have it, they were about to rent a place off campus and become roommates. They had already settled on a house and were just waiting to move in.
Faced with Yan Yi's shock and silence, Zong Xun gave a bitter smile. “Sorry. I'll find another place. Don't worry, even though I like men, I don't have any improper intentions toward you. I won't pester you to be my roommate.”
Yan Yi's face turned livid. He slammed the door and left without saying a word.
Zong Xun thought in despair that it was truly over between him and Yan Yi this time.
A few days later, Zong Xun found a new roommate, who was also a bottom.
Rooming together with someone of the same type sounded reassuring.
It was scorching hot on moving day.
Zong Xun headed toward the apartment building entrance with his hands full. His kindhearted bottom roommate pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his face.
But before the roommate's hand could touch Zong Xun's face, a 1.9-meter-tall college student who had appeared out of nowhere suddenly shoved him far away.
The tall student took the heavy things from Zong Xun with one hand, his towering figure blocking him completely from view, as if daring anyone to look at him.
“You're as frail as a bean sprout, and you still dare hit on my man?”

Recently, rumors have been swirling around Jing University that its two most handsome students have been acting intimate and are probably dating.
Those who played on the same team as Yan Yi knew how straight he was, and none of them believed it.
“Dating? No way. Brother Yan treats Zong Xun like his own little brother and protects him.”
Several teammates chatted as they walked out of the locker room.
They had no idea that in the locked shower stall next door, someone was pinning the so-called “little brother” beneath the shower and trying all sorts of things with him.
A veined arm encircled the slender waist of the person in front of him.
Yan Yi leaned close and murmured, “A-Xun's beauty mark is so sexy. I want to kiss it.”
Zong Xun braced himself against the wall with both hands. His fair, beautiful face was flushed from the heat, and his long hair wound around Yan Yi's slender fingers. His broken gasps were soon swallowed by the sound of running water.
