Mistaking My Aloof Childhood Friend for a Brooding Ghost

Luo Liu seemed like a straight man, but in private he was obsessed with pure romance novels. He'd read countless books and knew every trope in the business. Online, he could rattle off all kinds of theory and had helped countless gay men escape from bad relationships. He was a relationship guru through and through.

But right before he was supposed to move in with his childhood friend, Luo Liu was backstage at the theater and casually picked up his friend's diary.

The diary, hidden deep in a dressing room locker, was filled with all kinds of declarations of love. The moment he opened it, a crazed obsession hit him like a wave and swallowed him whole.

Amid a sea of words like lick, leash, and lock up, Luo Liu's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Had someone stolen my man?!

His childhood friend had been a prodigy since they were kids, a demon to the grad students and one of the best among the doctoral candidates.

Sure, he was a little cold, sharp-tongued, and sadistic, but Luo Liu just couldn't believe he was a pervert!

There had to be some kind of misunderstanding!

"..."

Half a month later, after repeated testing and confirmation,

Luo Liu decided that just because Shen Xichang was a workaholic, a sharp-tongued weirdo, and a pushy person didn't mean he couldn't also be a pervert.

-

Later, Luo Liu accepted his childhood friend's feelings, but he grumbled as he laid down some ground rules.

"I may like you, but you can't lick my legs, steal my clothes, or lock me up in a little dark room and keep me there."

Shen Xichang went from confused to understanding.

He curled his lips into a smile and led Luo Liu backstage at the theater, where he took out the diary Luo Liu recognized all too well.

"Did you read the rest?"

He flipped through the rest of the diary.

"You wore a necklace. Your collarbones look so pretty. I want to kiss you."

"You cried today. Your tears were like little pearls. I want to lick every one of them, then put a leash on your necklace and lead you around."

"That little skirt you wore today looked great..."

Luo Liu finally realized this wasn't Shen Xichang's diary. When had he ever worn a little skirt...?!

Shen Xichang's hand had already settled lightly on Luo Liu's lower back. In a breathy voice only the two of them could hear, he said, "A little skirt would look good on you, too."

-

One day, Shen Xichang noticed that something was off about his childhood friend.

Fortunately, it was the kind of oddness he was happy to accept.

1. The diary is a stage prop. The top himself isn't especially perverted.

2. A lighthearted, funny, sweet story with little plot, and it won't be long~

3. The diary prop was actually written with Shen Xichang's input.

Adding an upcoming story, "The Fake Young Master Gets a Rugged Husband"

Zhong Zhen was a pampered young master, doted on for ten years. Then he found out he was a fake and returned to the old house his parents had left him without a penny to his name.

The Zhong family had raised him for twenty years with the goal of marrying him off. Now that he was no longer useful for that, Zhong Zhen was all alone.

The house was tiny, and his parents had passed away.

Zhong Zhen was lost and had no idea what to do with his future.

After thinking it over, he decided he should first learn how to make dinner for himself!

Also, the muscular hunk next door looked really scary, his tight T-shirt stretched to its limits over his body.

Today, he had to learn how to climb over the wall so he could avoid running into him in the future!

-

Tan Sheng had once received financial support from the couple next door to pay his tuition. After the Zhong couple died in an accident, he had wanted to take in and care for the child they'd left behind.

But the kid next door had spent money like water, was lazy, complained that Tan Sheng's factory was too loud and dirty, ran off with a mountain of debt, then came back with the nerve to demand that Tan Sheng repay his old debt of gratitude.

After helping him out a few times, Tan Sheng gave up.

Everyone had their own fate.

When the Zhong couple's biological son moved into the house next door, Tan Sheng made a point of not rushing to meet him.

But one day, he pulled aside a curtain in the dimly lit bathhouse.

And saw a pair of arms as white as snow.

Zhong Zhen's eyes nearly popped out of his head, too.

This naked man has huge pecs!!

At the Zhong home, he'd never seen anyone with pecs that big!!

-

Tan Sheng only later discovered that Zhong Zhen was obedient, sweet, and incredibly good-tempered.

Tan Sheng wanted nothing more than to treasure and protect him.

And when the Zhong family came looking for him, Tan Sheng simply kept him safe inside the house, not letting those people offend his eyes.

He stood up, his muscular frame looking downright intimidating.

When they abandoned him, they said they were setting things right. Now that he'd raised the real pearl until it shone, someone else wanted to come along and pluck the fruit?

-

1. Size difference and height difference

2. Zhenzhen is an incredibly sweet, silly little wife.

Basically, a rough guy and his delicate darling
