Ye Ran feels as though his “straight” roommate is trying to “bait” him.
His straight roommate is a legendary “god-tier” figure in the university district. Handsome, laconic, and aloof enough to keep people a thousand miles away, he is a well-known “cold flower.” He receives love letters until his hands go numb, with countless pursuers spanning all genders.
Ye Ran, feeling quite troubled, calls his childhood friend to vent his frustrations.
After listening, the friend says knowingly: “Got it. You want to pursue him.”
Ye Ran: “?”
Friend: “I support you.”
Ye Ran: “…”
Friend: “I’m an expert at chasing people. I’ve pursued so many handsome guys; I can tell if they’re interested the moment I confess.”
The ways of pursuing someone are nothing more than these few methods:
1.Inquire after their well-being. 2. Show meticulous care. 3. Offer gentle affection. …
Ye Ran finds it difficult to voice his dilemma: “Actually…”
The friend understands again: “Understood. You don’t quite get it, right?”
He gives examples: “If he’s sick and you take care of him, buying medicine and bringing him water—that’s inquiring after his well-being. If you fulfill his needs immediately and constantly check his social media—that’s meticulous care. If he’s sad, upset, or wronged and you comfort him—that’s gentle affection.”
Ye Ran falls silent for a long time.
Gathering his courage, he asks: “Then… what if he has done all of these things to me?”
Friend: “?”
With his ears turning beet red, Ye Ran speaks softly: “He… he also makes me wear his clothes, joins all the same clubs as me, takes me on trips… and… and…”
The friend can’t help but urge: “And what else did he do?”
Ye Ran: “When he’s drunk, he even holds me while we sleep.”
Friend: “Tsk.”
Friend: “Sly straight man.”
Friend: “Pah! More like a ‘scheming Top’.”
Ten minutes later.
Friend: “I’ve booked my flight.”
Ye Ran: “Huh? You’re coming back to the country?”
Friend: “Yes. After all, romance is only interesting when you’re watching others do it.”
