My Best Friend Always Thinks I Like Him

[Playfully obedient shrimp of a bottom x cold-on-the-outside, lovesick top]

Wen Shilu transmigrated into a campus novel as a disposable side character. He was the main top's best friend and the main bottom's devoted simp, and in the end, his love turned to hate. After a failed attempt to force himself on the other man, he landed in prison.

To escape that miserable ending, he rolled up his sleeves and became the ultimate wingman, trying to get the main couple together as soon as possible.

He just couldn't figure out why his matchmaking kept falling apart halfway through, or why his good friend was getting stranger and stranger.

His good friend would only drink the water Wen Shilu brought him when they played basketball, saying it wasn't safe otherwise.

His good friend insisted on holding hands between classes, saying he was afraid they'd get separated.

His good friend even suddenly developed a habit of wandering around in front of him without any clothes on after showering.

He even wanted to help him jerk off.

Wen Shilu: "Something feels a little off."

Then he was pressed against the bathroom wall and kissed until he went limp.

Jian Yubai's voice was unbearably hoarse.

"What's off about it?"

"We're good friends. Helping each other out is perfectly normal."

Jian Yubai, the campus heartthrob of A University, was famous for being aloof and distant. His childhood friend Wen Shilu was the one exception.

Then one day, he suddenly realized: My good friend seems to like me!

Wen Shilu would give him limited-edition sneakers that were almost impossible to buy for his birthday.

Little Deer would give him homemade chocolates on Valentine's Day.

Deer Babe would secretly plan romantic trips for the two of them.

Jian Yubai: He loves me so much.

#Do people in your city call their partners "bro"? #

Thanks to Wen Shilu's diligent matchmaking, the main couple successfully... became sworn enemies instead??

Wen Shilu: I think I've got a special talent for breaking people up.

Reading guide:

1. Some flirty back-and-forth between the couple. A straight guy gets turned gay, and it's sweet all the way.

2. I love stories where one character talks himself into believing he's loved. The top is a lovesick fool.

3. Coming soon in my author collection: "The Most Hated Man Leaves Showbiz to Farm, But Wait, Cultivating Immortality?" (beloved bottom x Bai Ze top) and "I Can Tell You're My Wife Just by Your Voice," an adorable alien bottom who dotes on his wife (not really) x a mature, reliable, fatherly movie-star top.
