[A sharp-tongued, gorgeous, easily angered top with a screw loose and princess syndrome x a gentle, dull, seemingly aloof but actually wooden bottom with a husband-like appearance and straight-guy cluelessness]
He Youjia and Song Liqing had been best friends for eighteen years. He Youjia was used to how nothing ever seemed to faze Song Liqing, while Song Liqing put up with He Youjia's antics whenever he had one of his periodic fits.
Everyone thought Song Liqing spoiled He Youjia because he secretly loved him but didn't dare confess. In reality, whenever Song Liqing looked at the mischievous He Youjia and then hurriedly looked away, it was because his eyes and heart were devoted to studying, racing against the clock.
No one knew that the one who had secretly loved Song Liqing for years was He Youjia, who often acted like a fool under the pretext of friendship.
Song Liqing was completely straight. Put nicely, he was a modest and courteous gentleman. Put bluntly, he was a clueless dullard.
From childhood to adulthood, he had more admirers of the opposite sex than anyone could count. As his childhood friend, He Youjia guarded him like a mother hen protecting her chicks, even more strictly than his parents or teachers. He wouldn't let him flirt or start dating early, lest it interfere with his studies.
Song Liqing always thought his best friend made sense and sincerely thanked him. He worked even harder, striving to improve, and got into a top university that He Youjia had nearly failed to qualify for.
Before the admission letters came out, He Youjia hugged Song Liqing and cried all night, terrified that being at different universities would make them grow apart.
Song Liqing, slow on the uptake, held He Youjia in his arms and, at his friend's insistence, promised: "...Even if we're not at the same university, you'll still be my number-one best friend."
Thankfully, fate was kind. He Youjia followed Song Liqing to the same university like a little shadow, staying by his side every step of the way.
Their close friends, eager to watch the fun, tried to set the two of them up, teasing He Youjia that he looked at Song Liqing like he was his wife.
He Youjia glanced at Song Liqing, panicked, and denied it, red in the face and neck. "We're best bros!"
He was terrified that Song Liqing would find out he'd been in love with him for years.
But Song Liqing, sitting upright nearby and drinking Sprite, adjusted his glasses and obediently chimed in. "That's right. We're good friends."
He Youjia was so angry he nearly keeled over.
He Youjia had no official claim on Song Liqing. No matter how carefully he guarded against romantic rivals, he couldn't prevent every slip-up. From the first time some inexplicable man confessed to Song Liqing, everything went off the rails.
Now it wasn't just girls who liked Song Liqing. All kinds of male degenerates were after him too!
He Youjia couldn't sit still anymore.
A friend pointed at Song Liqing talking with some guy in the distance, then looked at He Youjia, who seemed ready to explode with rage. "Didn't you say you were just best friends? Why are you getting so worked up?"
He Youjia sprang to his feet. "Best friends, my ass! He's my wife! Hey! You, scumbag! Yeah, you! Don't you dare look at him!"
