Li Xiaoming was my junior in the same school. When I was in the university club, I took him to eat, drink and have fun. After work, we entered the same company at the same time and naturally became roommates.
I’ve never seen a better-looking person than Li Xiaoming in my life. Not long after he became a regular, he has already conquered all his colleagues in the company with his face. Apart from his face, this person’s business ability was also quite strong.
Compared to my salted fish mentality that one day is one day, his performance has always been among the best.
Li Xiaoming was so good that it wasn’t surprising that he could attract Ning Yiheng’s attention.
I felt guilty about the cat scratching the suit, and all I could think about was how to make my boss happy.
While trying to figure out Ning Yiheng’s purpose, I observed his expression— He was as expressionless as ever, and I couldn’t tell whether he was happy or angry.
Ning Yiheng suddenly raised his head to meet my gaze. Before I could see his eyes clearly, he quickly retracted his gaze again.
I thought I was looking too obvious that I attracted boss’s attention, so I hurriedly collected my gaze and quietly surveyed instead.
Ning Yiheng’s neck was a little red.
The heating was really too hot. I think the heating room cannot be adjusted manually. It’s so dry and dry that it’s easy to get angry. I only wore a half-sleeve in the room.
I couldn’t observe anything from Ning Yiheng, so I told him truthfully, “Li Xiaoming is my roommate. We often walk together after getting off work because we are on the same road.”
Ning Yiheng’s eyes faintly moved and he gave a soft “en.”
That’s it? I thought to myself. What the heck does boss mean? What exactly does he want to ask?
Ning Yiheng said, “He seems pretty good.”
“Yes.” I’ve never been shy about revealing my appreciation for others. “Li Xiaoming is quite likable both in school and in the company.”
Ning Yiheng raised one eye and continued to ask, “How did you know he was also popular in school?”

“Then do you like him?” Ning Yiheng coldly interrupted my dry additions. His tone was serious as if we were talking about some work-related business. “Cheng Huai Xiu, do you like Li Xiaoming?”
“… Huh?” I was dumbfounded.
It’s not that I don’t want to answer, but my straight brain really can’t understand. Like? Why did he suddenly say I like Li Xiaoming? It’s not impossible for two men to like each other as friends— No, what does boss mean by that?
Ning Yiheng saw that my brain overloaded and coughed lightly. He avoided my gaze and said, “There’s actually something I wanted to make clear to you—”
“I’m gay, and I like men.”
… Oh, oh, oh, it turns out that boss likes men ah.
En??? Likes men???
Ning Yiheng said calmly, “… Do you understand what I mean?”
I almost couldn’t hold my expression. It took a while to digest such a huge amount of information. After all, I have been seasoned with my experience for years.
Even if I’m shocked, I can’t screw up at this time to embarrass the boss. I immediately said with conviction, “Boss, my thinking is very tolerant, and I have no problem with homosexuality.”
Ning Yiheng: …
Obviously, my words didn’t satisfy my boss.
He just asked me if I understood, but I was not a roundworm in his stomach. How could I understand what he meant? But at this time, I can neither say that I don’t understand nor can I directly say to him, “Boss, can you tell me the details of whether you are gay again” or something like that. I can only go on with my mistakes, “Boss, although I’m not gay, I really understand how you feel. You must rest assured that I will never disclose this to others without permission.”
Ning Yiheng: …
I think my emotional expressions are well disguised. Even if I am stared at by Ning Yiheng, I shouldn’t let the cat out of the bag.
Ning Yiheng sighed heavily, stopped looking at me, and said, “It’s okay, go back to work ba.”
I heard helplessness and depression in the boss’s sigh, but I couldn’t guess why.
When I saw him like this, I thought to myself that I must have said something wrong, so I couldn’t help feeling guilty.
Without thinking about it, I blurted out, “Boss, don’t you really need me to compensate for this suit? As long as I can compensate for your loss, I will do anything you want me to do.”
As soon as the words came out, I couldn’t wait to slap myself in the mouth immediately— How could I touch a sore spot? Boss said he wouldn’t pursue it and didn’t mention it again. I also made him think about the cat in the office.
As expected, Ning Yiheng’s face immediately sank and he muttered, “After talking for a long time, you still know the suit.”
I was frightened by these words, thinking to myself that I made boss unhappy again, so I raised my guard and waited for Ning Yiheng’s next words.
Ning Yiheng didn’t want to talk to me more, and said, “You don’t need to worry about the clothes, go back first.”
“I also hope that you and Li Xiaoming can have a harmonious relationship and get along well ba.”
Until Ning Yiheng kicked me out of the office, I was pondering the meaning of those words just now.
Ning Yiheng, a person who doesn’t like to talk about personal matters and idle gossip, can talk to me about Li Xiaoming for so long, and said that he was gay—
I thought about it again. Among Li Xiaoming’s suitors, there are both men and women, not to mention attracting gay, it wouldn’t be too unusual for me to see him cross-species one day.
Wait a minute. Li Xiaoming attracts gay, Ning Yiheng is gay, and Ning Yiheng has been talking about Li Xiaoming for so long…
Ning Yiheng likes Li Xiaoming?!
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Li Xiaoming was so good-looking and such an outstanding person. Ning Yiheng had no reason not to like him. Let alone Ning Yiheng, if I liked men, it’s hard for me not to be fascinated by him.
My train of thought was smooth as can be.
I get it, I have understood everything.
How can this be a voluntary casual chat with my boss? It’s obvious to find out about Li Xiaoming’s situation through me ah!
I just hate that I reacted half a beat slower at that time. When Ning Yiheng asked me if I liked Li Xiaoming, I should have firmly denied it.
These little mistakes are harmless. After all, I now have the time to grasp the boss’s thoughts.
I walked in the corridor while thinking, and I happened to meet Li Xiaoming who went out to pick up hot water. That already beautiful face was a bit pitiful in my eyes.
I instantly made up countless scenes of Ning Yiheng and Li Xiaoming falling in love.
Because of them, gay men aren’t so disgusting in my heart.
Sure enough, the movement of my roommate holding the water cup was beautiful and moving, the back of the hot water was beautiful and moving, and the appearance of turning to look at me was also beautiful and moving… He’s worthy of being the man who can make Ning Yiheng fall in love.
Li Xiaoming was scared to be stared at by me and asked, “Ge, is there anything on my face?”
— It’s not that there is something on your face, it’s this Ge that has something in his heart, but he can’t tell you clearly now.
I can only silently give Li Xiaoming a thumbs up in my heart.
I shook my head and said meaningfully, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. It’s just you’re in good shape today.”
“You’re so good-looking ah, Xiao Ming!”
Li Xiaoming: ?
And so it begins…😄
🤣🤣 It begins now! 🙂
ahh well, I don’t blame him for his thought process…ahahahahahahh
To be honest, even in the eyes of a third person, they too will have the same brain rot as the MC.
You should talk and make things clear, NYH! And what about the cat? 🤔
Thank You for the chapter ( ∩ˇωˇ∩)♡
Thank you for the translation!
honestly so far his thought process is normal
