As a teenager, Zhou Yiyang had a secret he couldn't tell anyone: he was homophobic, but deep in the closet.
Apart from beating people up, he hated any kind of physical contact with other boys.
His underlings all agreed: Brother Yiyang's sexuality was straight as a steel rod.
The four-eyed nerd he had recently taken under his wing was a bit slow. Even though he knew Zhou Yiyang hated physical contact with boys, he kept getting close to him.
Zhou Yiyang rewarded him with plenty of punches.
The four-eyed nerd's eyes were always brimming with tears. "Brother Yiyang, do you like boys?"
Zhou Yiyang: "What the hell? Got the guts to say that again?"
The four-eyed nerd ducked his head and, fearless in the face of death, analyzed the situation for him. "If you're not gay, why are you against normal contact between guys? Are you really just trying to avoid rumors?"
Zhou Yiyang cursed under his breath. "I'll avoid your dad." But inwardly, he thought: Maybe that four-eyed nerd has a point.
Then the four-eyed nerd hugged Zhou Yiyang, and quickly explained before a slap could land on his head: "Brother Yiyang, this is just normal contact between brothers."
"...You're sure?"
"I'm sure. I'm straight. There's no way I'd have any inappropriate thoughts about you, Brother Yiyang."
And so...
On the way to school, the four-eyed nerd held Zhou Yiyang's hand.
"Don't be scared, Brother Yiyang. This is just normal contact between brothers."
At mealtimes, the four-eyed nerd fed Zhou Yiyang grilled sausage.
"Open wide, Brother Yiyang. This is just a normal thing for brothers to do."
While doing homework, the four-eyed nerd put an arm around Zhou Yiyang's waist and felt his abs.
"Wow, Brother Yiyang, you've got great abs! Teach me how to get them."
With the four-eyed nerd's encouragement, Zhou Yiyang started to think that maybe being close to other boys wasn't such a big deal after all. Until...
One time at karaoke, the tipsy four-eyed nerd pinned him in a corner, trying to cover him with his scrawny frame, his breath brushing Zhou Yiyang's ear.
"...Brother Yiyang, you smell so good."
