Not surprisingly, Qi Feng, who had complete looks, singing skills, and actor’s demeanor, successfully won first place in F University’s Top Ten Singers Competition this year.
Although not at the scene, Ling Ke sat in the background and saw the result immediately in the newsfeed of the class and friends.
In the photo, Qi Feng stood in the center of the stage surrounded by everyone, holding a trophy in his hand, smiling brightly.
In contrast, Ling Ke’s heart was quite gloomy.
This is Qi Feng, a person who is naturally eye-catching…
Ling Ke, you are different from him. Don’t glitter with just the sunshine. He just treats you as a trustworthy friend. If you get too deep, you won’t be able to stay even as his friend…
When Qi Feng came back, Ling Ke had already cleared up his mood.
There were still many people around Qi Feng, talking to him, congratulating him, and clamoring for this handsome champion to treat them to dinner.
It was only half-past nine, so it was just right to have supper. Qi Feng was already enthusiastic, and even more so, he couldn’t refuse.
However, he was concerned that Ling Ke was there, so he did not immediately agree, but first asked Ling Ke’s opinion, “Shall we go together?”
Everyone saw that Qi Feng was sluggish in front of Ling Ke. They laughed and called Ling Ke to join. Some even snatched the flower from his hand and gave it directly to Qi Feng, “Aiya! I notice that you’ve been holding this batch of flowers for so long, will you gift it to him or not ah? I am worried about you!”
Ling Ke & Qi Feng: “…”
In the presence of so many people, Ling Ke was worried about Qi Feng’s face. So after opening his mouth, he chose to say nothing instead.
There was a glimmer of hope in Qi Feng’s heart, and he couldn’t help thinking, yeah, when Ling Ke appeared, he brought flowers with him. Who else could he give to him instead of giving it to himself? Maybe he was a bit embarrassed about kissing me just now, so he dares not say…
Because of the blessing of the championship glory, Qi Feng was in a good mood, and in a blink of an eye, he left that little entanglement behind and held the flower in his arms with joy.
After going out from backstage, a group of people took the path directly to the south gate. Some seniors called and booked a seat in a barbecue restaurant. The crowd ate and drank until midnight.
After Qi Feng and Ling Ke returned to the dormitory together, they saw Gao Junfei and Xie Qibao both asleep, so they also lay down.
Hearing the movement, the two still sat up to congratulate Qi Feng, and naturally, they did not forget to tease the words he said on the stage.
Ling Ke pretended to walk into the bathroom without caring, taking the opportunity to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Qi Feng glanced at his back and mocked himself, “Ay, it was just for fun…”
Xie Qibao: “Damn, then you’re too truthful, right? Even my fu*king man’s heart stopped beating for a moment there!”
Qi Feng: “…”
After talking, Qi Feng realized that Ling Ke had already gone to bed, except for the half-minute after Xu Junzhu left, neither of them had the time to stay alone together and say anything.
Qi Feng sighed helplessly. After washing up, he climbed up and leaned on the bed. While waiting for his hair to dry, he turned on the phone.
Ignoring the blessings and congratulations on the screen, he directly found Yao Jing’s portrait and clicked in.
“The video you want was posted on the Internet when I returned to the dormitory. Look at the back, there is a surprise. [Tongue]”

Qi Feng smiled, took out the headphones and put them on, clicked on the downloaded video, feeling a little curious about the “surprise” Yao Jing said.
Ling Ke took off his coat when he took the stage, revealing the white shirt and Christmas red sweater inside.
He usually had a cold temper, but many of his clothes were brightly colored, such as crimson T-shirts and lemon yellow hoodies, which gave people a bright feeling.
Qi Feng forgot where he had seen this particular article before, saying that this type of people was usually more unrestrained in their hearts, but because they usually didn’t express their emotions and personality, they would wear red and purple clothes to reveal their inner passion instead…
Qi Feng was also not sure, anyway, they had been together for half a year, and he had read a lot of Scorpio character analysis articles recently, but until now, he still thought Ling Ke was quite mysterious.
Ling Ke played the piano on stage very seriously, but this was just an illusion. Qi Feng could hear that the other party’s performance today was a bit anxious. Several notes just passed by, showing a little perfunctory.
Of course, bluffing laymen was enough. After the play, there was still applause in the audience.
Qi Feng saw that he hadn’t seen any surprises yet, and was a little curious about whether he wanted to get up and give a speech. At this moment, there was a noise in the headphones, the camera shook, and she pointed at a girl holding flowers under the stage…
Qi Feng leaned close to the phone and stared at the flower in the girl’s hand, instantly feeling confused.
After watching the video, he really lost his emotions.
—Ling Ke didn’t lie to him, it was not specially prepared for him.
When the group of people in the Pop Music Club coaxed to snatch the flowers and send them to him, Ling Ke was very embarrassed, right?
…But he didn’t say anything.
Qi Feng grabbed his heart, not only for Ling Ke’s empathy but also for the coldness like a needle hidden in the cotton.
He almost forgot the fact that Ling Ke was also very popular in places he didn’t know – he didn’t need to play this kind of couple game with him or be his foil.
…
When Ling Ke woke up the next morning, he saw that Qi Feng posted a status in the newsfeed last night, “Sudden joy and sadness.”
Both Zhao Si and Li Kaixing gave Qi Feng a thumbs up, and Zhao Si also replied below, “I have known you for so many years, but I don’t know that you are… sorry, disrespect, disrespect!”
Ling Ke was confused and instinctively figured out the meaning of this sentence for a while.
But thinking of the loss he suffered last night, he held back again and stopped thinking about it.
Compared with Ling Ke, Qi Feng was much more stimulated after waking up.
Because he unexpectedly found that their high school group was discussing about… him coming out of the closet.
Many old classmates who hadn’t contacted him for a long time were also exploded in the private chat, asking him if it was true.
Qi Feng was so stunned. He clicked on Moments and went to the next page, only to learn that Xu Junzhu also posted a status last night, “What kind of feeling is it for a boy who you’ve been admiring for years to come out of the closet right in front of you? Anyway, I feel like I will never love again in this life. [Goodbye]”
The sending time was shortly after she left F University.
Although Xu Junzhu did not mention anyone in this WeChat, her liking for Qi Feng had long been an open secret. After inquiring a little, anyone could guess the identity of the person she was referring to.
Below that WeChat status, Qi Feng could see a large number of replies, all of which were mutual friends of him and Xu Junzhu.
“Junzhu, open your vision more, there are so many good men. [Gritting Teeth]”
“Fuck, who is coming out of the closet?”
“… Is the person in question 7f?”
“7f comes out of the closet? It shouldn’t be ba! Did he deliberately lie to you? [Smirk]”
“It’s over, even 7f becomes like that… could it be that all good men will become gay in the end? [Sweats]”
…
Last night, Qi Feng took care of himself and went to bed, and fell asleep without seeing anything, so he didn’t know that Xu Junzhu had put such a big move in front.
The onlookers naturally connected the “sudden joy and sadness” he sent later with Xu Junzhu’s state, guessing that he was “sad” because he was exposed.
Overnight, the earth turned upside down…
Qi Feng went back to the conversation record with a black line on his forehead to see the message his buddy gave him—
“You’re so fu*king awesome, after you’ve enough of girls, you choose to fu*k boys instead…”
“Society has indeed been tolerant… sending you a blessing, haha.”
“Which little seductress led you astray? Let’s give me a picture of him! [Smirk]”
…
Which little seductress? Qi Feng glanced at Ling Ke, who had already gotten out of bed, and felt chilly in his heart…
At this moment, the phone shook, and Shen Yuezhe, the ghost of the night god moon, floated up.
Someone had sent him more than a dozen messages in a row last night, but they were all at the bottom of the new news. Now, he estimated that Qi Feng’s wake-up time, so he sent another message to show his presence.
“Have you gotten up? Don’t play dead when you wake up…”
Qi Feng bit his scalp and sent a crying expression covering his face, then brushed the message in front of him again.
“I haven’t contacted you for a few days, why did you make such a big move?”
“Junzhu went to see you? What’s going on with you coming out of the closet? Did you lie to her?”
“You’re not really gay, are you? But pondering about it, I found that you have had a lot of scandals for so many years, but you really didn’t seem to have any further relationships with any girls…”
“Fuck… I feel a little chill in my back when I think about it.”
Qi Feng finally couldn’t help seeing this, and sent a screenshot of this sentence to Shen Yuezhe, with a despised expression by the way.
However, compared to other students’ apparently gloating messages, Shen Yuezhe turned out to be a bit more serious than usual.
Shen Yuezhe: “Do you know someone has come to ask me since last night if the person with you is me… Fuck, if it wasn’t for the fact that I just had a partner recently, I really wouldn’t know how to explain!”
Qi Feng: “Are you in love?”
Shen Yuezhe: “I told you about a girl in my photo a while ago, and asked for your advice, right? I just confirmed the relationship with her a few days ago. [Blush]”
Qi Feng: “Congratulations…”
Shen Yuezhe: “Hey, let’s not talk about me, please answer me quickly, don’t hide it from your brother, okay? Even after I know it and I won’t discriminate against you.”
Qi Feng struggled for two seconds, and finally decided to take this step: “Well, I understand.”
Originally, he was accustomed to gossip. Even though the group exploded and the circle of friends was discussing it, Qi Feng still felt that as long as he did not publicly admit it, this matter was still just a gossip.
But it wasn’t until the moment when he personally talked to Shen Yuezhe that Qi Feng finally felt that the deal should be done soon.
He came out and played the role of a heartthrob for so many years, and it was finally over.
In addition to the initial panic and bewilderment, Qi Feng was unexpectedly a little… relieved.
After a long time, Shen Yuezhe replied with a “fuck” and asked: “Is the person you like Ling Ke?”
Sure enough, he was a good buddy for more than ten years.
Qi Feng: “Yes.”
Shen Yuezhe: “What did Xu Junzhu mean by you “coming out of the closet” in front of her? Did she see Ling Ke?”
Qi Feng: “She did.”
Shen Yuezhe: “Are you and Ling Ke dating?”
Qi Feng: “No, Ling Ke is a straight man…”
Shen Yuezhe: “Then what happened last night? You confessed to Xu Junzhu in front of him?”
Qi Feng: “It’s a bit complicated to say…”
At this moment, Ling Ke stood under the bed and urged him: “Why are you still sitting on the bed and looking at your phone? Are you not going to get up?”
【Little Interlude】
Shen Yuezhe: “Don’t hide it from your brother, okay? Even if I know it, I won’t discriminate against you.”
Qi Feng: “Well, I understand.”
Shen Yuezhe: “…” Damn, when they were young, they lay on a bed and grabbed each other’s pepe? Was Qi Feng in that year… Omg, it’s terrifying if you think about it clearly! After so many years, will he be assimilated into gay by Qi Feng too? Oh no…
No, no, no, no, don’t say it, don’t discriminate against him, calm down, I can’t show it…

Happy New Year 🎆
Ahh I’m late but Happy new year!
I wonder if the girl who liked Ling Ke saw her bouquet given away?
Thanks for the chapter~
Pfft, why do people in mangas/novels/RL(?) always freak out when they get to know that a friend of them has different sexual interests? >__>°
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
And a belated Happy New Year too~ (ﾉ•ヮ•)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
ikr 😂😂 well part of it is because of shock so the tendency is they’ll figure out if that friend thought differently of their normal interactions between men. Though, it’s not like just because they like men, they like ‘all’ men. some assholes are just egoistic af they felt like every gay man has no tastes and would just pounce on every man they met 😂
Yeah, and whenever I see smth like this I’m just like “Would you jump every woman/man you see, eh?”. But people who think like that are lost cases anyway lol
that poor friend of Qi Feng and now that you know you can be Qi Feng’s love advisor lol
Thank you for the chapter!
Homophobes go dieee~ mind your own business~ girls and guys~ no one is deceiving you, y’all just don’t mind ur own business
this
Was Shen Yuezhe previously translated as Zhen Yuezhe?
Do boys really do such thing? Rubbing each other??
SY seems like the perfect example of when a certain friend comes out of the closet, you look back at the past interactions and everything makes sense
