As soon as the recruitment competition for the shooting club ended, the next day’s Nanjing University forum was flooded with posts about it.
You have to admit, handsome guys like Liang Per are truly rare. They are a gift from the heavens to humanity. In a lifetime, it’s already a blessing to encounter one like him, even if he has no idea who you are.
While most men may not be particularly good-looking, however!
As long as you have a skill, your aura completely skyrockets, especially with this kind of skill that is very attractive.
The forum was quite lively today, with someone posting a joke saying today’s forum was like a matchmaking corner.
Our single, beautiful 0 is currently matchmaking.
Zhou Mengyu was holding an old popsicle when he passed behind his junior, only to see him zooming in on a male’s photo with two fingers. The zoomed-in area was quite eerie. Eerie enough for Zhou Mengyu to stop in his tracks and ask in a low voice, “Is it big?”
The younger brother almost threw his phone!
Startled, the junior turned around to see Zhou Mengyu’s face full of exasperation, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Zhou Mengyu, he relaxed completely, “It’s okay, I mean, I have Liang Pei as a roommate. Ordinary guys really don’t catch my eye. Sigh”
On its own, this statement would be perfectly fine.
But when Zhou Mengyu thought about the position his younger brother had just zoomed in on in the picture on his phone, and then he heard this, it felt a bit off.
The younger brother was still exclaiming, “Bro, it’s not just me saying this. Liang Pei, a guy like that, you can’t even get with him, and you have to face him every day- it’s practically torture! As a roommate, he’s never complained about bringing us food, and he shares fruits and snacks without any scheming; as a man, his face, his body, his personality, this, this, this, this! After getting along with him, whether you’re looking for a man or a friend, you have to raise your standards. But thinking about it, it’s pretty good too. If you dated him, how would you find someone else afterward!”
Zhou Mengyu licked the tip of an ice lolly, made a slurping sound, and agreed with his junior brother.
He had just nodded when the dorm door opened. The teacher had dragged out Liang Pei’s last class of the morning, so there weren’t many people left when he finally got to the canteen. He ended up eating at the canteen before coming back.
Two pairs of eyes fixed on him the moment the door opened.

Zhou Mengyu quickly moved closer, just taking the ice lolly out of his own mouth and placing it in front of Liang Pei, using it as a microphone.
“Mr. Liang, may we take a moment of your time to answer a few questions?”
Liang Pei’s gaze paused for a moment on the half-eaten popsicle stick in front of him, just a few centimeters away from his mouth. Then, he looked up at Zhou Mengyu, whose eyes sparkled brightly, as if enhanced by some beauty filter effect. Looking into them made one’s mood instantly improve.
He raised his eyebrow and replied quite cooperatively, “Why do you ask?”
Zhou Mengyu smiled, squinting his eyes. He habitually reached up and tucked his hair behind his ear. “May I ask, Mr. Liang, how many girlfriends have you had in the past?”
Liang Pei seemed slightly surprised by the question but answered quickly, “I haven’t had any.”
“What?”
“What?”
A chorus of surprised voices rang out.
Zhou Menyu was surprised that such a handsome guy had never been in a relationship. Although he had just started his freshman year, and middle school didn’t encourage early dating, with a face like that, wasn’t he made to be in early relationships???
The junior brother was surprised that he had actually seen a post saying Liang Pei was straight and had dated girls.
The junior tentatively asked, “Do you know we have forums at our school?”
Liang Pei nodded.
“Wow, you’re so handsome, the forum must be full of discussion about you. I think there was someone from your middle school who was a fan of your looks and mentioned that you’ve had girlfriends.”
Liang Pei didn’t find it particularly surprising; he knew about the ‘girlfriend’ thing.
In high school, a quite obsessive boy pursued him. Liang Pei had rejected him many times, but the boy still gave him meals. The boy even handmade him scarves and gloves. When Liang Pei played basketball during PE class, the boy even skipped class to watch.
This level of pursuit is uncomfortable.
Later, Liang Pei’s attitude became slightly more firm, thinking it would stop the boy’s pursuit.
That boy indeed hadn’t visited him for a week, but a week later, Liang Pei received a love letter with dark red ink that smelled like rust.

Liang Pei didn’t tell his family about this matter.
But that day, Liang Pei’s sister wanted to cut her bangs, couldn’t find scissors, and decided to check Liang Pei’s drawer, where she discovered the love letter.
Since Liang Pei didn’t mention it, his sister didn’t feel the need to interfere either. But the letter contained a passage that made her feel she had to step in.
“You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m really not a pervert; I just really like you. Even though you told me you like girls, didn’t you reject them all when they pursued you? So I don’t believe it. I think if I try harder, if I’m kinder to you, you’ll start to like me too. Don’t feel pressured. I promise I’ll never hurt you. If you get a girlfriend, I’ll definitely stop bothering you.”
After leaving Liang Pei’s room, the sister immediately opened the orange app and ordered a rather innocent little dress. Then, without hesitation, she scheduled a visit to the hairdresser to get a big-wave hairstyle for her straight, long, black hair.
As soon as she put on her skirt, his sister applied natural makeup, dressed in an innocent-looking student skirt, with a pair of small white leather shoes, and she carried a lunchbox to Liang Pei’s school.
She didn’t contact Liang Pei either, but stood at the school gate for a while, watching the crowds pass by for a long time before casually stopping a boy. “Hello, I want to find Liang Pei from Class 4, Grade 11… Can you help me call him? Just say I’m his…”
His sister hesitantly lowered her head, paused for a moment before continuing, “Uh, his good friend.”
The fact that Liang Pei had a girlfriend spread like wildfire.
80.
“My sister.” Liang Pei didn’t say the reason.
Zhou Mengyu was surprised again, “A real sister?”
Liang Pei nodded. The popsicle in front of him had started to melt due to the heat. Liang Pei reached out and pushed the ‘microphone’ towards Zhou Mengyu, pressing the popsicle against his lips.
Zhou Mengyu subconsciously sucked a mouthful into his mouth and continued speaking after finishing.
“No wonder you’re so good at taking care of others, it’s because you have an older sister! How many years older is your sister?”
“Three years older.”
Zhou Mengyu blinked, “Only three years, doesn’t that mean she’s a year older than me? Wow, can you introduce your sister to me? I can already imagine how beautiful she is.”
Liang Pei replied coldly, “Want to be my brother-in-law?”
Zhou Mengyu cleared his throat, “How could I dare? But humans do have a pursuit of beauty, and I was wondering if your sister would be willing to model in the art studio for two hundred yuan an hour.”
Liang Pei paused, “When you asked me, it was one hundred yuan an hour.”
Zhou Mengyu froze, “Really?”
“Yes.”
“….Three hundred an hour, are you coming?”
“No.”
“….”

“So you’ve really never had a girlfriend?” Zhou Mengyu’s questions returned.
“No.”
“Are none of you dating early? So obedient, good students at our school date early, and the better the grades, the earlier they date. They even date openly early.” Zhou Mengyu said.
Liang Pei took out a beige short-sleeved shirt from the cabinet and threw it onto his chair, asking casually, “Good student, had a romantic relationship in your youth?”
Zhou Mengyu clicked his tongue, “We’re talking about you, why did it suddenly become about me?”
“That means you had an early romantic relationship,” Liang Pei said.
The junior brother also shifted his attention, leaning on his chair and asking, “Yeah, I never asked about your love life before. Did you use to date guys or girls?”
Zhou Mengyu was furious, “Guys, my ass! I’m straight! Of course, I dated girls?!”
Zhou Mengyu hesitated again, “But it’s a bit embarrassing to say, I don’t seem to know much about dating. The most I can do is hold hands, and even kissing feels too much. Can that really count as dating? Mainly because I was still young back then, I really thought I should be pure. It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized I was perhaps a bit too innocent, and I should have at least kissed someone by now…”
Liang Pei raised an eyebrow, “You haven’t even kissed anyone?”
Zhou Mengyu shook his head, “No.”

??
Wait a moment.
The junior brother glanced at Liang Pei, then at Zhou Mengyu.
Something’s off, something’s off, something’s off.
The atmosphere is off, and as a very sensitive bottom (meaning he was sensitive to gay bottoms, not just that he was sensitive), this atmosphere is definitely not right! Why are little pink flowers appearing in the air? And they’re even floating around. Why is background music suddenly playing in the dorm? And it’s a sweet and upbeat kind of music.
Why did Zhou Mengyu shake his head like a well-behaved puppy when answering ‘no’ to Liang Pei?! Is it because bacause he has too much of a CP filter and is overthinking things?!
Why did Liang Pei’s lips seem to curve slightly when Zhou Mengyu said “no,” clearly pleased with the answer? Is it because his romantic bias is too strong and he’s overthinking things?!
Why?
The junior’s hand trembled slightly as he held his phone; he really wanted to post this in their academic thread! Sisters, Huangliang Yimeng also gave us some sweet moments today; we’d be crazy not to enjoy them!
But if he reveals such dormitory secrets, he’ll be exposed in no time!
Some content is destined to be enjoyed by oneself, which is both satisfying and infuriating!
T/N: Guess who survived their finals?! Finally had the time to translate again! As always, if you like my work, think about donating to my Ko-fi <3
