“If they were a girl, then it would’ve been fine.”

Though it was put this way, in actuality whether it was He Xun or Zheng Li, they hadn’t really thought about it that way. Naturally, in an all boys’ school there were only guys. There was entirely no such thing as a girl hiding amongst an all boy’s highschool. If there was, then that would seriously be way too weird. Generally speaking, there wasn’t anyone who would do this.

Zheng Li scratched his head in helplessness, the other party had said they were straight, yet Ah’Xun was suspected as a probable gay. That kind of situation was truly not easy to handle. A matter such as romance particularly stressed that both parties must mutually feel the same, as a forced love is not a sweet one.

He harshly pounded on his chest, granted that he may feel more or less uncomfortable, this was for his brother and he was ready to risk it all. That included offering himself for sale, “Ah’Xun, look, I’m a man too, what about falling for me instead?”

He Xun choked on his breath, almost choking to death from Zheng Li’s words. He gave a long look at his own brother, looking at the strong outline of his face, his thick and dark eyebrows, his unshaven stubble, to his sturdy and rough body. His eyes clearly revealed his abhorrence.

“Zheng Li, you fucker…”

He Xun said this, but knowing his brother was doing this for him, he was unable to even say the following roast.

Zheng Li had felt a bit awkward since the start, he was a ram-rod straight man of this universe and only liked women. But what about when his brothers needed him? So long as He Xun needed him, he would get straight up for him without any fear. However he was a bit disgruntled when met with He Xun’s disgusted attitude, he patted his face and asked, “Ah’Xun, what’s wrong, I’m a handsome man too, okay?”

So Ah’Xun could settle for a skinny chicken like Peijin, but not the piece of fresh meat (1) he was?

(1) This is a term that refers to young, handsome men, specifically those with athletic physiques; an english equivalent would be a ‘hunk’.

Fortunately he had mentally strengthened himself and was prepared to give it all he had.

He Xun looked at his own brother in disgust. Let alone mentioning the others, imagining him and Zheng Li together was something he could not entirely digest. Why wasn’t Zheng Li and the others acceptable, but only Peijin was?

What exactly differentiated the two of them?

He Xun faintly lowered his head and fell deep into his thoughts.

He and his few brothers were all rough and thick-skinned, but Peijin….they were entirely not the same as them.

The first feeling they gave him was supple softness. The second, sensitivity. The third, tenderness.

Rather than saying they were a guy, it might as well be said that they were more like a girl. Not only were the lines of their face too feminine, even their character also in fact completely belonged to that of a young girl.

Plus the fleeting image he had glimpsed at last night…. Last night he had been too panicked, and hadn’t paid attention at all. Thinking about that graceful and composed, beautiful face now, no matter how feminine a guy was, there was no way their looks could be so devastating?

He Xun frowned and then reached his hand out, going straight to feel Zheng Li’s waist. Zheng Li jumped in surprise, but didn’t shy away.

He had pledged his life that he would do his best that he could to be a good brother, even if He Xun made any moves on him, he would never say ‘no.’
