Giving Up My Straight Identity for His Favor

Updated daily.

Zhang Xing x Quan Rui'en

Mutual pining

Quan Rui'en recently met a cool, aloof guy. The guy is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome that Quan Rui'en fell for him at first sight. Ever since, he's shown up at the library every day like clockwork, devoted to studying (sneaking glances).

One time, while helping a deadbeat friend move, he ran into the handsome guy there too. What a stroke of luck! Not only did Quan Rui'en learn his name, but they also hit it off while chatting.

Just as he was thinking his love life was about to take off, his friend told him: this guy is straight.

Zhang Xing recently met someone with chestnut hair and big eyes, someone so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful that it took just one glance for him to want to be friends. From then on, he braved his social anxiety to be wherever the other guy was.

The other guy was outgoing, cheerful, warm, and sunny. Zhang Xing could spend three days and nights listing all his good qualities. Just being by his side made Zhang Xing feel happy.

If only they could be friends.

If only they could be good friends.

If only they could be boyfriends.

If only they could be... something.

The more time Zhang Xing spent with him, the greedier he became. But the other guy was like a great big sun, warming everyone equally. Zhang Xing was just one insignificant person among them.

Until one day, Zhang Xing could no longer bear the jealous ache in his heart. Eyes red, he went to ask Quan Rui'en.

Zhang Xing: Are you this nice to everyone?

Unable to get any sign of affection from Zhang Xing, Quan Rui'en could only resort to a drastic measure: Well, I'd definitely be even nicer to my boyfriend.

Without a second thought, Zhang Xing said: Then I'll be your boyfriend!

Quan Rui'en was stunned: What? You're giving up being straight for special treatment?

Zhang Xing (dead serious): I'm giving it up of my own free will.
