Chapter 01
Anonymous User 1:
No one invited me, but I’m responding to this.
I’m a sophomore at some university in southern China. I behave properly, sit straight, and I’m a straight guy. (Important point!)
Today I’m not telling my own story — I’m here to spill about the two damn gays in my dorm.
Yes, you heard me right. I’m seriously homophobic.
But there’s nothing I can do — if there are no big conflicts the dorm supervisor won’t let me switch rooms. Of course, I can’t say the reason I want to switch if because of that, so I’ve been biting my tongue and bearing it for a whole year.
Let me briefly introduce my roommates: there are four of us.
Roommate A is a local guy, about 185 cm tall, standing out among all the southern guys. He looks righteous and upright, but when he talks, it’s slow and gentle, warm and soft.
Roommate B is from the north, around 172 cm tall (I don’t really get why this northern guy is only 172 cm, not saying there’s anything wrong with that). He’s fair-skinned with a small, round face and a head full of curls. He loves being spoiled.
Roommate C, also a local, is one of the two tallest in our class alongside A, basically the backbone of the class. Like me, he’s a normal straight guy. He’s the only one I really have common topics with in the dorm. Honestly, this roommate of mine is really handsome — sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips — I’m not sure how many girls’ hearts he’s broken. Yeah, every girl who confessed to him got rejected. Then rumors started about him being gay. I laughed it off. I swear on my integrity, he’s as straight as me.
Me? Northern guy, 180 cm, average-looking but okay, decent personality, nothing too bad.
Roommates A and B — that’s the “deadly pair” I want to talk about.
Honestly, I don’t know exactly when they got together. They’ve always been close, but guys often get physically close as friends, so I didn’t think much of it. By the time I realized they were a couple, it was already near the end of freshman year’s second semester.
What?! I’m typing and C comes over to tell me we have an assignment due tomorrow — gotta go do it now.
I just posted this yesterday, I thought it would get buried in hundreds of replies.}
User435435: It’s 2019 already, how can there still be idiots who discriminate against gays?
Anonymous reply: You might have misunderstood, I don’t discriminate. You have your right to your sexual preference, I have my right not to like it. Not liking isn’t discrimination, okay?
StealerOfHearts: Based on years of experience, homophobes are usually closeted gays. OP is definitely a little gay.
Anonymous reply: Huh? “Homophobic = closeted”? LOL.
Me, I’m a solid straight. (Again, important point.)
How straight? As straight as a rigid iron rod.
Today the closet door is locked with a 5-kg heavy iron lock, and I dissolved its key with acid on the spot.
IWantToBuyCola: Where'd you get the nerve to say that? How can you be so confident of yourself? Gays have good taste, you know?
Anonymous reply: I’m not blindly confident. Gays don’t go for me, but I don’t like gays either.
UnknownFishFishFish: I just want to know how handsome C is! Show pictures!!!
Anonymous reply: To all asking for pictures of C — no, I don’t have any, and even if I did, I wouldn’t post them. Would my anonymity mean anything then?
Also, where do you get the idea I like C? Just because I described him in 100 more words than others?
I hate Tomatoes: Just watching the drama, but aren’t you afraid your classmates might see this?
Anonymous reply: Not worried about being found out. Only C and I use Zhihu in the dorm, and he definitely won’t look at this kind of topic. I just saw this and replied out of boredom, letting out the complaints I’ve been holding for a year.
