After Becoming Arch-Enemies with My Best Bro - Chapter 26

After Wen Huihan posted his thread, it received zero attention. It was instantly buried in the depths of the forum.

Their student forum wasn’t an official university site, but rather a legendary platform started by a senior years ago. It functioned like a “Confession Wall,” but with far more features.

This unofficial forum had massive traffic. People used it to find proxy students for classes, look for partners, share gossip, track down strangers they’d seen on campus, or just vent. New posts appeared every few seconds.

Wen Huihan’s post was only a single line of text with no details, so naturally, everyone ignored it.

He waited for ages without a single notification. Unable to stand the “cold violence” of being ignored, he decided to inject some soul into the post.

[Height 189cm, Age 21. Handsome, wealthy family, but a terrible personality. Has a young-master temper, often speaks harshly to his roommate, and mocks people indiscriminately. Protective of his food, extremely possessive, and highly dangerous with a strong sense of territoriality. If you provoke him, he’ll fixate on you… But he’s technically a good person. Interested ‘0s’ (Bottoms), please leave your info.]

Wen Huihan kept it vague. He couldn’t reveal too much of He Chenshuang’s specific info, or people who knew him would recognize him.

That would be too awkward. It would be no different from forcibly outing him.

Even though Wen Huihan was helping He Chenshuang find a boyfriend, he had to ensure the candidates were tight-lipped and sincere. He needed to control every step of the process before he could comfortably hand his best friend over.

After reposting, he waited a bit longer. Finally, several replies popped up.

Does your roommate bite?

Please keep your roommate on a leash, thanks.

Is your roommate… vigorous in that department?

Is ’21’ the age or the size?

 Handsome or not doesn’t matter, I just want to know if he’s ‘big’.

Wen Huihan: “…”

You gay guys are too much! What kind of feral questions are these? And 21 is obviously his age! I’m straight… how would I know He Chenshuang’s size?!

And he certainly didn’t know if He Chenshuang was “vigorous.” He was straight… wait.

Wen Huihan suddenly remembered he wasn’t entirely in the dark. Vincent had mentioned before that He Chenshuang looked like the type who would be very “strong” in that area.

He didn’t know how Vincent could tell. Maybe it was a special ability that older gay men automatically unlocked when they hit 30. Regardless, he now trusted Vincent’s words implicitly.

Looking back, every word Vincent had said was like a direct hit to the heart, none of it was false.

Vincent had hinted that He Chenshuang’s attitude toward him was unusual, but back then, he hadn’t believed it. A person really shouldn’t be too self-centered, sometimes you need to listen to the golden advice of your elders.

Regret was useless now. To compensate He Chenshuang, the only thing Wen Huihan could do was choose a perfect “marriage” match for his best friend.

Who would have thought his first attempt would be such a disaster? Not a single comment below was worth a serious reply. Wen Huihan put his phone down with a headache.

Just then, He Chenshuang walked past behind him.

Wen Huihan was currently a bit sensitive toward He Chenshuang. Not physically, of course, but psychologically.

Knowing there was a gay man nearby who harbored feelings for you made it impossible to truly ignore him, especially since they lived under the same roof and spent so much time together.

Sometimes, even the slight breeze created by He Chenshuang walking past made Wen Huihan’s heart jump.

He Chenshuang had to pass behind Wen Huihan to reach the balcony or the bathroom, but he had walked past five or six times in just a few hours. Does he have a frequent urination problem?

Finally unable to take it, Wen Huihan asked as He Chenshuang returned from the balcony, “Do you have some kind of kidney dysfunction?”

Running to the bathroom every few minutes? He felt it was necessary to show concern for his best friend’s physical health.

He Chenshuang stopped and looked at him. “You want to know?”

Wen Huihan: “I don’t. I just feel bad that you’re walking back and forth behind me all the time. I’m worried your legs will get sore.”

He Chenshuang: “Mm. Then next time, I’ll just ‘do it’ outside.”

Wen Huihan: “?”

Wait, what? Do what?

He watched blankly as He Chenshuang’s long legs carried him back to his seat. He picked up his book and continued reading with an indifferent expression, looking perfectly at ease.

Wen Huihan froze for a few seconds. His gaze unconsciously drifted down to the slight bulge between He Chenshuang’s legs.

Damn. It really does look kind of big.

Realizing what he was thinking, he quickly looked away, cursing himself for being influenced by those forum replies.

…What else could he be ‘doing’?! You gay guys are really going too far!

His face turned from pale to green, then to bright red. Unable to tolerate such blatant behavior, he slammed his hand on the desk and stood up, shouting with righteous indignation, “He Chenshuang! I’m warning you, don’t start ‘driving’ (making sexual jokes/actions)!”

He Chenshuang turned his head in confusion, meeting Wen Huihan’s fuming expression.

Even when angry, Wen Huihan’s face didn’t lose its charm. It was a face that had been praised since childhood, and any expression he made carried a sense of unpretentious clarity.

He Chenshuang seemed puzzled at first, but seeing Wen Huihan’s reddening face, he seemed to realize something. He leaned back in his chair with interest. “Oh? Well, was I ‘driving without a license’ again?”

Wen Huihan nodded firmly. “Exactly.”

He understood that men had “those days.” He occasionally felt that way too, it was a normal physiological reaction. You just endure it and it passes, it’s not that hard.

They were at an age full of vigor, so it wasn’t strange. But was He Chenshuang being a bit too frequent? Won’t he cause sparks from all that friction?

Furthermore, only the two of them were in the dorm right now. He Chenshuang was actually starting right in front of him? His “First Love” was sitting right here!

Don’t think Wen Huihan didn’t know what he was thinking, he was an expert in these matters too.

Desire is the root of depravity. Wen Huihan would never tolerate anyone performing such “filthy acts” in a sacred place like a dorm.

He Chenshuang: “Then… sorry?”

Wen Huihan: “You really should be sorry.”

The object of his crush is right here, and he dares to go into the bathroom and think about doing ‘this and that’ to him? If they were ever accidentally locked in the bathroom together, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den?

He didn’t dare think further. To prevent He Chenshuang from straying down the wrong path, he had to issue a stern warning.

“I understand you have… those impulses. But I hope you exercise some restraint. This isn’t just our dorm. If Xun Chun or Zhao’er found out, what would they think?”

Wen Huihan felt he wasn’t just thinking of himself, but also of He Chenshuang.

Those two roommates were just like him, straight as arrows. If they found out He Chenshuang was gay, they would inevitably treat him differently.

He Chenshuang nodded thoughtfully. “So, I can only ‘do it’ when it’s just the two of us?”

Wen Huihan was horrified and quickly denied it. “That’s not what I meant!”

Two guys alone is even more dangerous, okay?! He Chenshuang was dreaming if he thought Wen Huihan would give him that chance.

He Chenshuang: “It shouldn’t matter if they hear it, right?”

Wen Huihan was beyond shocked. Is that something people should hear? Or are gay men just this uninhibited?

He looked He Chenshuang up and down. He looked like a decent, civilized person, not someone with “special kinks.”

Wen Huihan refused with a stiff face. “No. I’m your brother, I won’t steer you wrong. And I’m warning you, we have rules. When you’re… doing that, you are forbidden from thinking about me. You can’t even think of my name. That would be a profanation of our brotherhood.”

He Chenshuang raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

“What do you mean ‘why’?” Wen Huihan glared at him, his tone threatening. “I said no, so no. And it’s for your own good. Are you really not going to listen to me?”

He Chenshuang’s dark, deep eyes lingered on Wen Huihan’s determined face for a moment. Then, he picked up his phone.

“Fine. I’ll let my mom know. I’ll tell her to stop calling me so much since someone isn’t happy about it.”

“That’s more like… wait, what phone call?”

Wen Huihan’s neck turned stiffly. He Chenshuang propped his chin on his hand, looking at him with leisure. “I was just on the phone with my mom.”

Wen Huihan stared at him, dumbstruck. The latter tilted his head slightly, expressing confusion at the silence.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

In an instant, Wen Huihan felt his soul leave his body.

What did I say? I’m truly ‘tainted’ now!

It was all He Chenshuang’s fault. If he weren’t gay, Wen Huihan would never have turned out like this.

And why didn’t He Chenshuang speak clearly? Why go to the bathroom just to take a call? It made him think…

Wen Huihan knew he was in the wrong. He didn’t dare look at He Chenshuang. He closed his eyes and gave up. “Fine, call whenever you want. Just pretend I was talking nonsense.”

He Chenshuang: “Can I really ‘do it’ whenever I want?”

Wen Huihan: “Really.”

“So I can ‘do it’ in the bathroom or outside?”

“Yes.”

“And when I ‘do it’, I can think of you? And your name?”

The more Wen Huihan heard, the weirder it felt, but he still said, “I said whatever!”

He Chenshuang gave a meaningful hum. “Understood. I’ll listen to you.”

Wen Huihan: “…”

Wait, why does this feel so wrong?

He checked He Chenshuang’s expression again and successfully caught the slight curve of his lips. He was clearly smiling.

“You’d better swear you were actually just talking about a phone call.”

Wen Huihan’s fist tightened.

He Chenshuang chuckled, deciding to stop teasing him. “Yeah. I’ll thank you on behalf of my mom.”

Ending that disastrous conversation, Wen Huihan picked up his phone in a rage.

He absolutely, definitely, 100% had to find He Chenshuang a boyfriend. If this continued, he would eventually be “assimilated” by the gay energy.

The infectious power of a gay man was too strong. Being around one every day was simply too dangerous.

This time, Wen Huihan opened the thread, his hand moving so fast it left afterimages as he replied to the comments one by one.

He bites.

You can’t leash him, he’s too sentient.

He’s vigorous.

The size?

Big!

After replying to everyone, Wen Huihan felt revitalized.

Once he shifted He Chenshuang’s attention away from himself, he would never be influenced again.

Sure enough, after his replies, the thread exploded with activity.

For real? Our school has a high-quality ‘1’ (Top) like this?

Why wouldn’t it? Actually, some are closeted, you can’t tell normally.

Height 189? If the info is true, I have a hunch… but the other descriptions don’t quite fit.

This personality is my ‘kink’. Bad Top! Vigorous Top! Dog Top!!!

How does the OP know so much detail?

Did you… try him out?

Wen Huihan: “…”

He grit his teeth and replied: I have my ways!

With the certification of the veteran gay Vincent plus what I’ve seen with my own eyes, how could I not know the details?

Perhaps in the gay community, a “Top” like He Chenshuang really was rare. In the subsequent replies, people actually started posting their personal info and photos. Wen Huihan was startled by their enthusiasm.

Fine, he would begrudgingly screen them for He Chenshuang and set up a meeting one day.

He began scrolling through them with confidence.

This one won’t work. Full beard, definitely not He Chenshuang’s type.

This one won’t work either. If he jumped, he’d only hit He Chenshuang’s knee. The height doesn’t match.

This one is still a no. They aren’t even together and he’s already calling him ‘husband’. He Chenshuang wouldn’t like this.

Wen Huihan continued with a frown. The next one is even worse. I recognize this ID—he’s the famous ‘social butterfly’ from the Art Academy. He’s had enough exes to fill a stadium. How could a novice gay like He Chenshuang handle him?

Though He Chenshuang was calculating and shrewd, he was still a “recruit” in the gay world. A guy who had never even been in a relationship would be played like a fiddle by these other guys.

The more Wen Huihan looked, the more worried he became.

With so many people, how can I not find a single one?

He Chenshuang’s type was actually quite clear. He probably wasn’t a superficial “face” person. He just needed someone with a cheerful, sunny personality. Ideally, they should be his equal in all aspects for a balanced, healthy relationship.

And based on the day He Chenshuang chased him into the dorm, Wen Huihan realized that although he usually looked aloof and indifferent, he had quite a powerful aura when angry. Therefore, He Chenshuang’s boyfriend would need to be resilient under pressure.

***

Wen Huihan went through the list of requirements one by one. By the end of his tally, he suddenly froze.

Because he realized that if he calculated it this way… he himself was the person most suited to be He Chenshuang’s boyfriend?!

No… how did it come to this?

But I’m really not gay!
