What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei? - Chapter 5
Chapter 5: 5L: Delighted to Hear, Pleased to See
Before bed, Ning Wenru finished browsing Weibo and opened his reader group again.
Due to writing his novel, Ning Wenru had become acquainted with various skilled readers. Some were experts at finding calcium tablets, some were yaoi fans with rich theoretical knowledge, some were gay friends with abundant practical experience, and there were also highly skilled female tops and male tops, and so on.
Becoming acquainted with these reader friends opened Ning Wenru’s eyes widely, but in contrast, as soon as he opened chat software, he would easily receive various updates(:з」∠)
[Great Archangel] Merely Delighted: I won’t say anything about not changing the roommate’s name until the end, but Mumu also ended too quickly! There are still side stories, Mumu! We clearly agreed to have encounters in the dormitory, laboratory, skydeck, small woods… and so on. Now! Laboratory! Skydeck where people come up after school anytime! And the small woods where couples hide in every corner! None! Of! These! Have! Been! Written!
[Archangel] Illuminating Light: “+ID numbers! And there are still hot springs, beaches, swimming pools, bathrooms, balconies, and public toilets~~~!”
Ning Wenru bashfully covered his face and typed a reply: “Feels like it would be formulaic writing… The locations and what happens in the dormitory are all pretty much the same.”
[Group Chat] Warm Baby 10,000 Times: “Never Tired of Eating Meat~
Or Should I Send You Some Romantic Education Videos to Watch, Provide Some Inspiration?”
Before Ning Wenru could reply, Warm Baby 10,000 Times had already sent several websites from foreign calcium tablet video networks in the group. As soon as the links appeared, a wave of “I Never Thought You’d Be This Kind of Warm Baby” instantly flooded the screen.
Pulling the screen back up, until this link reappeared before his eyes, Ning Wenru nervously and guiltily sat up, looking around the dormitory. At this time, the power had long been turned off, and the dormitory was pitch black. From the opposite bed came Pang Zaiyuan’s steady breathing, seemingly asleep, while Yue Weijian stood on the balcony, softly chatting with his girlfriend.
Since his roommates weren’t paying attention to what he was doing, after an intense struggle between heaven and man within Ning Wenru, curiosity ultimately took the upper hand, deciding to observe a bit.
The links sent by Warm Baby 10,000 Times were all places with massive amounts of calcium tablets or anime. On them, one could see many trailers, film screenshots, and corresponding text descriptions. Ning Wenru casually clicked on one to watch, seeing two beach volleyball players playfully chasing each other on the beach, then began doing unspeakable things in the sea.
In the dormitory watching this genre of romance educational films, Ning Wenru of course smartly turned off the sound and used the quilt to cover the lower part of his body. In the dead of night, secretly watching in the dormitory like this, it was indeed very stimulating. The flickering light and shadows emitted from the cell phone screen struck Ning Wenru’s face and the wall behind him, forming a blurry projection, and clearly illuminated Ning Wenru’s blushing face.
But it was only more stimulating psychologically. Physiologically, Ning Wenru discovered that eating calcium tablets wasn’t any less exciting than writing articles and brainstorming. Ning Wenru didn’t particularly like seeing the mosaic-covered parts, didn’t like watching others’ jerking, and even thought those actions were pretty formulaic. Out of curiosity, he clicked open a few others, but they were just fast-forwarding and skimming a few glances before quickly closing them.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall Pang Zaiyuan’s handsome figure fending off criminals at night. Perhaps it was because these romance educational film actors, even if their figures were decent, weren’t as handsome as Pang Zaiyuan, nor did they have his military demeanor. That’s why he felt indifferent watching them.
If the main characters inside were replaced with Pang Zaiyuan…
Ning Wenru silently covered his face, fell onto the bed, hugged the quilt, and rolled around. Then he opened Blued.
Blued was a gay dating app.
Although Ning Wenru always believed himself to be just a gay man, he was troubled by the inability to communicate his turn-ons with his straight boyfriend, and also to collect some writing materials, Ning Wenru, under the guidance of some powerful little angels, downloaded this same-sex dating app.
The nature of the app was just like its name, warning everyone to beware of infection and be cautious about hookups. And in the required information section, Ning Wenru, feeling that he didn’t particularly like others’ whining, and not liking being dominated, filled in “1” in the self-introduction section.
And in the profile picture section, Ning Wenru put in a side profile picture taken against the light. The background was a little green forest in the school at sunrise when there was morning mist, the entire photo exuding a soft light. The face was blurry, only vague outlines could be seen, looking more small-fresh compared to those who directly posted abs and hairy pictures, looking refined and warm.
This instead attracted more “0” who wanted to earnestly date to seek him out in person, averaging 30~50 greetings like “Hello” and “Want to hook up?” per day. Out of curiosity, Ning Wenru met up with a few more reserved ones, but had no special feelings, so it only remained at pure chatting, turning into friends. His friends would share any fresh things with Ning Wenru, and didn’t mind providing him with writing material.
Among them, there was one gay friend with whom he could chat relatively well, who was his elementary school classmate. Before Ning Wenru installed this software, he had already played very well with his gay friend, but Ning Wenru had never thought nor seen that his gay friend would be gay. Sometimes on WeChat it was even impossible to find him promptly, but when sending messages on AIDS Blue, his gay friend would absolutely reply within seconds.
Ning Wenru: A few days ago, a stunningly handsome roommate came, who had been a soldier before, super manly, with a fit physique and impressive appearance. He could effortlessly carry hundreds of pounds up to the eighth floor, and today he even took down several knife-wielding thugs! The roommate is also very good at cleaning, knows how to take down fans to wash them, and even removed all the chewing gum marks from the floor!
Ning Wenru: Simply too handsome, just a few days and I feel like I’ve turned from a straight to a gay, how to fix it
As expected, the gay friend replied instantly: Baby, Daddy is very disappointed in you.JPG
The gay friend: I know your dormitory has a new campus heartthrob now
The gay friend: Be more rational. If you break up with your roommate in the future, it will be very awkward to sleep in the same dormitory every day! Moreover, most roommates are straight men. Even if some are gay, they will still get married in the future. Playing around is fine, don’t be stupid.
Ning Wenru: I know, but I’ll just appreciate it simply without any intention. After all, it’s only aesthetic disclosure, not real coming out. He’s also said he plans to marry around 30 or 40.
After a silent moment, Ning Wenru typed again: Master, how do we judge if he’s a straight man?
Gay Friend: Look at how often he gazes at handsome men versus beautiful women?
Ning Wenru: As for him, he’s upright and incorruptible, never looking askance when out on the street. Hmm… seems to look at me sometimes.
Gay Friend: Although you’re also very handsome, please don’t force yourself into the story, thank you.
Gay Friend: A straight man won’t often look at you.
Gay Friend: If he really does look at you often, then there’s hope!
Ning Wenru: Before, I didn’t feel anything seeing pictures of beautiful men, and just now taking calcium tablets didn’t feel as much as writing this post. But thinking about his words, I feel very strongly. He might be the same.
Gay Friend: Papa is very pleased; you’ve finally developed, puberty has finally arrived.
Ning Wenru: …
Gay Friend: Just how many male gods are there, letting you fall in love at first sight? Show me a photo, I’ll help you identify them. In this area, there’s no one who’s been on Blued that I don’t know about.
Ning Wenru: Haven’t taken a photo yet, will send it to you when I do.
The next day, while exercising on the skydeck, Ning Wenru sought Pang Zaiyuan’s opinion, not only taking pictures of him but also filming videos of his lectures on combat techniques. He then sent some of them to his gay friend to watch.
After receiving the videos, the gay friend took a long time to reply: As expected of my idol! If you didn’t like him, I would have used it to jerk off. Tomorrow I must go to your dormitory to watch!
Gay friend: However… Wenru, even if he’s gay, are you sure you’re number one? Can you really top him? One look and you can tell he’s a straight man, and he could beat you down in seconds, okay, no, in split seconds.
Ning Wenru: Physically, I can’t; I’m not stronger than him, and emotionally, I can’t either; he’s just a friend… I know I can’t, so it’s just wishful thinking
Gay friend: If you like him, force yourself on him! If you don’t even have the guts to force yourself on him, what’d you say you liked him for? Do you have a picture of his full length? How big is his cock? If it’s very small, even if you can’t top him and get topped instead, the loss wouldn’t be big, no, you’d actually gain from it. Do it, do it, do it! Even if it’s just for the memories, so you won’t regret not doing it when you’re old
Ning Wenru: Stop! You’re thinking too much. Maybe it’s because I’ve been single for too long that I’d think like this; I feel I need to find a boyfriend. Do you think the ones on Blued are trustworthy?
Gay friend: Don’t take it too seriously; falling in love is painful. You might as well find a few clean fuck buddies. Someday I’ll introduce you to some. Oh right, tomorrow I’m going to your place for a lecture! I’ll take a look at your roommate while I’m at it.
Knowing it was impossible, Ning Wenru instead became more relaxed and natural.
It’s enough to have experienced pleasure in writing. Pang Zaiyuan had a good personality, making him a very good friend. Desires could be vented on anyone. If revealing one’s true feelings turned friends into strangers, it was simply not worth it.
Perhaps it was just because he had been a virgin for too long, and encountering someone so perfectly suited to his heart triggered a hormone-driven impulse. Despite knowing it was impossible, the moth-like self-destruction was too tragic. Ning Wenru chose to cut his losses in time. His gay friend was right: romance leads to heartbreak. If there’s a need, it’s better to find a reliable source of comfort. Not only can it help oneself, but it can also help others.
However, finding a reliable source of comfort wasn’t something to be rushed. At present, Ning Wenru felt more inspired in writing epilogue chapters than finding reliable sources of comfort. After Ning Wenru finished writing several bonus chapters, such as “Beach”, “Hot Spring”, “Small Forest”, and “Laboratory”, he completely finished the story, and decided to henceforth invest all his thoughts into studying and the national robotics competition first. After the competition, he’d address his needs then.
And enthusiastic readers spread these bonus chapters far and wide.
However, this enthusiastic reader felt that the author had changed the name to “Long Zaitian” in the revised version was too out-of-character. He didn’t understand why the author waited until completion to change the strong bottom’s name, so he replaced “Long Zaitian” with “Pang Zaiyuan” in these bonus chapters. After painstakingly making the replacements, he continued adding them to the txt file, and raised the price from two yuan per chapter to two yuan fifty per chapter.
