The Straight Guy Lands in a Love Triangle

Straight Guy x Love Triangle, please add to your favorites~

Lin Xi was a straight guy, as straight as they come.

He had a crush on the campus belle in the next department. Using a game of Truth or Dare as an excuse, he mass-texted a confession to a group of people, but the campus belle gently turned him down.

At the same time, the other three recipients, A, B, and C, all replied.

A: Is that true, big brother?

B: Idiot, did you lose at Truth or Dare again?

C: Okay.

Lin Xi was so sad that his first love had died before it even began that he paid no attention to the others' replies.

But slowly, he realized the people around him had started acting strange.

A was the son of his university advisor, a year below him, sunny and cheerful, and always smiling.

Lately, A had been constantly clinging to him, all clingy and cuddly, practically wrapping himself around him like an octopus. His eyes shone like a puppy's.

Whenever Lin Xi got even a little close to someone else, A would puff out his cheeks in a huff, but soon come running back to make up with him.

B was his childhood nemesis, who went to a university nearby. He was famously fickle, changing girlfriends as often as he changed clothes.

Lately, B had kept up an unprecedented three months of being single. He often showed up at Lin Xi's university library for no apparent reason, always by coincidence taking a seat across from Lin Xi.

He still made the same snide remarks as before, but his intentional, casual touches made Lin Xi feel that something was off.

C was his senior, a seemingly aloof person who had always treated him well.

Lately, C often invited him out to eat or visit exhibitions. Their academic exchanges were perfectly ordinary, but the plans always seemed so romantic, like dates.

And those cold eyes kept drifting to his lips from time to time. Lin Xi couldn't guess what C was thinking.

Lin Xi thought A, B, and C were all acting a little strange. One dark and windy night, he hesitantly lifted the curtain around his roommate D's bed.

"Bro, I think something's going on."

His roommate D had a glimpse of a sharply defined waist and abs showing. Who knew what he'd been doing in bed just then?

He silently pulled up the blanket to cover Lin Xi's photo on his phone screen. Looking at Lin Xi's fair face, his expression was hard to read.

"What is it?"

Lin Xi told him everything about A, B, and C. The more he talked, the more incomprehensible he found their behavior.

But roommate D's expression grew gentler and gentler. After listening to Lin Xi complain, he chuckled and spoke almost coaxingly:

"It's okay. I'll help you sort it out."
