I Can Hear My Straight Male Roommate's Inner Thoughts

[Main Story Complete, Extras Updating]

[Light Comedy + Inner Voice Reading + Sweet Campus Romance]

Xie Ning is troubled.

He seems to... hear the inner thoughts of his roommate.

Known as the campus's "untouchable high mountain flower," Xie Ning maintains a polite distance from everyone, including his roommates. But things take a turn when Xie Ning discovers he can hear the innermost thoughts of Pei Zhi, his aloof, sports-major, notoriously homophobic, yet devastatingly handsome roommate.

Their lives had little overlap—until one rainy day, Xie Ning enters the dorm soaking wet, and Pei Zhi, usually distant and cold, unexpectedly helps steady him as he slips.

Before Xie Ning can thank him, he hears a startling inner voice: “Good boy, I like him.”

Xie Ning, stunned: "What did you say?"

Pei Zhi, confused: "I didn’t say anything."

What is happening?

Determined to uncover the truth, Xie Ning befriends Pei Zhi. While Pei Zhi’s outward demeanor remains distant, his inner monologue grows unexpectedly lively:

"He’s so cute when he’s focused on drawing."

"His hands are so pretty."

"He’s adorable when he sleeps..."

Blushing profusely, Xie Ning escapes with a hurried excuse, only to hear Pei Zhi’s thoughts echo behind him: “...Did he figure out I like him?”

As events unfold, Xie Ning’s touch-starvation intensifies. On another rainy day, Pei Zhi locks the door behind them, cornering Xie Ning.

“Why are you avoiding me?” Pei Zhi demands, his usually cool demeanor cracking.

A chaotic moment ensues, and when Xie Ning’s wrist is caught in Pei Zhi’s grip, the skin contact overwhelms Xie Ning, leaving him leaning weakly into Pei Zhi’s arms, face flushed red.

Eventually, Xie Ning’s secret is exposed. In response, Pei Zhi takes it upon himself to "help" Xie Ning with all the physical contact he needs—whether through casual hugs, close embraces, or even sharing a bed.

When Pei Zhi discovers Xie Ning’s ability to hear his thoughts, he takes things to the next level, pinning Xie Ning’s wrists above his head and asking huskily, “Can you hear what I’m thinking right now?”

Xie Ning remains silent, unable to speak.

But Pei Zhi is nothing if not patient—and he’s willing to coax the truth out of him.
