My Straight Male Roommate Is Acting Strange

[The quick transmigration novel on my profile is expected to finish in July. This will be my next book.]

/

At the start of his sophomore year, Yan Zhi's roommate graduated and left, so the business student was assigned to a dorm in the mathematics department again.

As he moved into the new room and tidied his desk, Yan Zhi noticed that his last roommate to return frowned when his gaze landed on the skincare products on the desk.

After living together for a while, Yan Zhi realized that Lu Suiyi was especially reserved around him. If Lu had just showered and was shirtless, doing laundry and tidying up, he would grab his clothes and put them on as soon as Yan Zhi came back. The curtains around his bed, which he usually left open, were hardly ever drawn back after Yan Zhi moved in. Even when their arms accidentally brushed, Lu would quickly pull away.

Yan Zhi guessed that Lu might have figured out his sexual orientation and was a little homophobic.

For the sake of harmony in the dorm, he should keep his distance.

That was until one of Yan Zhi's pursuers, after being rejected again and again, flew into a rage and openly outed him in front of their roommates. After packing the books he needed for class, Yan Zhi told them, "If any of you can't accept it, I can just move out."

When he came back that evening, everyone said they didn't mind. Lu Suiyi shook his head along with the others, then kept staring at Yan Zhi for a long time.

While chatting about their ideal types, Yan Zhi casually said, "I'm not picky. Someone taller than me, patient, not too talkative, and not a picky eater. It'd be even better if he were good at math and could tutor me in calculus."

Lu Suiyi suddenly remembered a saying: if someone's ideal type is too specific, they must already have someone in mind.

He went through the list, comparing every detail, and was shocked to realize that Yan Zhi was... secretly in love with him?

Yan Zhi recently noticed that Lu Suiyi had stopped holding back. He started working out shirtless in the dorm every day, getting up early to bring Yan Zhi breakfast, attending classes for him and saving him a seat. During the college basketball tournament, he asked Yan Zhi to hold his jacket, and after each game, he would only drink the water Yan Zhi brought him.

Yan Zhi asked why he had suddenly become so friendly.

"Yan Zhi, actually, I'm pursuing you."

"I know you like me too, but I still hope you won't accept me too quickly. Dating should involve a proper courtship. Let's take it slowly, one step at a time."

Yan Zhi: "?"

After they got together, Lu Suiyi accidentally caught Yan Zhi having dinner alone with a senior who had once pursued him. From then on, Lu developed a habit of checking up on him.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

"Having dinner with my family."

"Could you send me a picture? Can you include the time and date? [Pleading] /"

"... Should I take one with the camera right in my dad's face?"

"Is that okay, baby?"

Extremely picky, cool-bottom x formerly aloof (not really), clingy and prone to overthinking-top

(The characterization may drift a little as I write.)

A few things to know:

1. One-on-one. Please don't split them up or switch their roles.

2. A sweet little story.

3. Sorry I'm not good at writing blurbs.
