Unfortunately, Bai Nian ended up transmigrating into the body of this invisible roommate. She had to be invisible while also acting as a helper.
Today, the protagonist (the top) wants to invite the bottom (the bottom) swimming, but the fake straight man is too proud to ask and insists on making him his sidekick.
Tomorrow, the protagonist (uke) wants to hook up with the male lead (seme) while they're at a hot spring, but the proud queen won't take the initiative and will even use him as a cover.
Bai Nian is constantly tormented by this couple, but he has a soft personality and can't refuse them. He can only hope that the main characters will get together soon so that he can have some peace and quiet.
Finally, one day, the four roommates ended up sharing a room during their New Year's trip. In the novel, this is a crucial plot point where the main characters confess their feelings. But why, instead of being inseparable, did the main characters both choose to confess to him at this moment?!
Seeing the protagonists, both under the influence of alcohol and in a daze, Bai Nian quickly clutched her small bath towel: "You...you guys, don't come any closer!!"
"That was exciting! So who did you choose in the end?"
"I didn't choose anyone."
"Well……"
"I'm now living with another roommate who's practically invisible."
Yan Shilu, another seemingly invisible roommate, was a top student who entered the university with the highest score in the college entrance examination. He had always been aloof and self-possessed, disdainful of romance. While others were dating, he was studying; while others were breaking up, he was studying; while others found new partners, he was still studying.
In his eyes, those who couldn't wait to start dating as soon as they entered university were no different from monkeys in heat. He was a human being, not a monkey unable to control its hormones.
It wasn't until that hot spring trip, when his soft, always-bullied roommate hid in his bed with red eyes, that Yan Shilu's heart, which was always as mechanically regular as a machine, began to flutter for the first time.
Love came on a whirlwind, turning his life upside down like a tidal wave.

After graduating from university, Duan Shengran rented an apartment in the university town and became a full-time fitness content creator, while also helping a friend take care of her younger brother who had just returned to China for university.
His friend described his younger brother as introverted, quiet, and shy. Remembering the boy who cried in his arms years ago, Duan Shengran patted his chest, promising to complete the task.
However, on the day of the agreed meeting, the entrance to the residential area was deserted, except for a young man who was 1.9 meters tall, muscular, and had dyed silver hair. Just standing there, he exuded a powerful aura.
Duan Shengran waited in vain, then dialed the number himself. The next moment, a tall man walked towards him, his voice low and hoarse: "Hello, I'm Ji Xingci."
Duan Shengran: "..."
Duan Shengran felt he had been deceived and planned to find an excuse to kick the person out in a week.
But to his surprise, Ji Xingci was actually just as his friend had said.
He rarely speaks, and can spend the whole day painting; he takes the initiative to do all the housework and makes him delicious and healthy meals in various ways; he has a soft temper, and when he is bullied, he will just bury his face in his arms and cry; he is very shy, and after realizing that he likes boys, he asked him with red eyes, "Am I abnormal?"
Duan Shengran believed it. Although Ji Xingci was 1.9 meters tall, had eight-pack abs, and arrogant silver hair, he was still a weak and pitiful little guy who could be bullied.
He didn't realize that since Ji Xingci moved in, the international student next door who used to go clubbing late at night had stopped making any noise; the thugs who used to pick fights with him had been avoiding him lately; and all those who had been pursuing him had disappeared.
One day, Duan Shengran discovered Ji Xingci's Bilibili account—a UP master with millions of followers in the drawing section. He had been posting BL illustrations for the past three years and had a large number of die-hard fans due to his exquisite art style and ambiguous atmosphere.
Most of the illustrations feature a single protagonist, while another character is only partially visible. The protagonist is either being bullied, stared at, or having their chin pinched... one illustration after another, it's all about him.
Ji Xingci wanted him back in that summer many years ago.

Chapter 19 Let's go to jail.
Following the waiter through a maze of turns, Yan Shenyu arrived at a private room on the second floor of the bar.
As soon as I sat down, the waiter brought over two glasses of water. The porcelain glasses contained a light brown liquid, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Yan Shenyu raised an eyebrow: "What is this?"
"Tea," Xie Xiaoling said calmly. "Don't you not drink alcohol?"
Yan Shenyu picked up the cup and took a sniff.
Xie Xiaoling stared intently at the scene, her heart pounding with each step.
The teacup was getting closer and closer to Yan Shenyu, and just as his lips were about to touch the teacup, Yan Shenyu suddenly stopped.
Xie Xiaoling was so nervous that she couldn't control her emotions and blurted out, "What's wrong?"
"Never mind, I won't drink it." Yan Shenyu put down her teacup and said quietly, "Drinking tea at night makes it hard to sleep."
Xie Xiaoling frowned. Had he seen through her?
Yan Shenyu put down his teacup and added, "Next time you invite me for tea, you can arrange it for the morning."
Xie Xiaoling: "..."
Who the hell invited you for tea?!
Xie Xiaoling said irritably, "Change it to milk."
He looked angry, but he calmed down after he finished speaking, because his anger was deliberately feigned, as he wanted to test Yan Shenyu's attitude.
If Yan Shenyu still refuses, then it's very likely that the other party has guessed that he has prepared a way to deal with him, so the drugging will have to be done in a different way.
So, how will Yan Shenyu respond next?
Yan Shenyu shook his head and said, "I don't drink milk."
Xie Xiaoling's heart raced, and her right hand clenched into a fist.
Damn it, he actually found out?
If he refuses to drink, then administering the drug becomes difficult.
But when did he discover it? He clearly hadn't given himself away.
Xie Xiaoling held her breath, her nerves taut, ready to face any potential conflict.
As expected, Yan Shenyu looked up at him with a solemn and serious expression, clearly about to explain something very important.
Here it comes, here it comes, are we about to expose his conspiracy?
“I…” Yan Shenyu began.
Xie Xiaoling's Adam's apple bobbed, and her heart leaped into the air.
“I get pimples from drinking milk,” Yan Shenyu said seriously.
Xie Xiaoling: "..."
Is this the reason you're refusing milk?
"Soda water!" Xie Xiaoling snapped, finally losing her temper. "Fine, I'll give you some soda water, okay?!"
Just when he thought Yan Shenyu was going to continue making excuses to refuse, she nodded in agreement.
Xie Xiaoling finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just as the waiter reached the door of the private room, Yan Shenyu suddenly said, "Wait."
The waiter paused in his tracks.
"Any other questions?" Xie Xiaoling gritted her teeth, silently repeating "Impulsiveness is the devil" a hundred times in her mind. The humiliation she was suffering now was for a better counterattack.
Yan Shenyu: "Is this waiter a bar server?"
How did he know that the waiter was one of his people?
Xie Xiaoling's heart sank, thinking to herself, "He really found out, didn't he?"
The waiter, caught red-handed, stammered, "Yes, yes."
Yan Shenyu shook his head: "You don't seem like it."
The waiter opened his mouth, then said nervously, "I...I'm new here and not very familiar with the procedures yet."
Xie Xiaoling glared at him with exasperation. Why did you have to interrupt him? This kind of obvious lie is so blatant that even a ghost wouldn't believe it!
"Ah, I see!" Yan Shenyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Xiaoling: ?
You believed it so easily?
"You're new here, right? Then remember what I'm about to say."
The waiter nodded hurriedly.
"Soda water with ice, two lemon slices, and a mint leaf," Yan Shenyu emphasized. "The soda water must be XX brand, not XXX brand; the ice hockey puck must be hand-carved, not machine-polished; the lemon must be a perfume lemon, not a regular yellow lemon; and most importantly, the mint must be apple mint, not spearmint with a strong smell."
Xie Xiaoling: "..."
Damn it, you have so many requirements for drinking soda water? Do you think you're the emperor?
Xie Xiaoling was so angry that she was dizzy, and she made up her mind that if Yan Shenyu dared to say another word, she would have someone pry open his mouth and shove the medicine down his throat!
Whether his threat had an effect or not, Yan Shenyu simply sat quietly to the side and didn't say another word.
When the waiter brought him the soda water, he drank half a glass in one go, completely unguarded.
Seeing that the other party had fallen into her trap, Xie Xiaoling finally felt triumphant and even found Yan Shenyu across from her much more agreeable.
“It’s rare that you’ve gone out of your way to meet me,” Xie Xiaoling raised her head, her expression regaining its usual elegance. “What brings you here? Tell me your thoughts.”
Yan Shenyu was taken aback, then immediately sat up obediently and said cautiously, "Teacher Tony, it's like this, I'd like to trim the ends of my hair, thin it out a bit, and then fix my bangs."
"Ugh..." Xie Xiaoling finally lost her temper and roared, "I didn't ask you to say what you want to get a haircut!! I'm not Xie Xiaoling from Chongqing! Getting a head transplant from me won't help!!"
"Then why do you ask me what I think?" Yan Shenyu gave him a reproachful look and said calmly, "If you don't cut your hair, my thoughts are very simple. First, you need to issue a statement on Weibo saying that the video circulating online of me cheating was maliciously edited, and the truth is that you drugged me to ruin my reputation. Second, confess that you don't have cancer or depression, and publicly apologize to the netizens who were deceived by you. Finally, I hope you and Xiao Zhenliang get as far away from me as possible and never appear in front of me again."
Xie Xiaoling was shocked by his shamelessness, and said with a twitch at the corner of her mouth, "You might as well dream."
"Not even one thing?" Yan Shenyu asked, somewhat disappointed. "Or do you really want me to come out and refute you? It's like a fight in a martial arts drama. You fabricate an incident to smear me, and I find evidence to refute you. It goes back and forth endlessly. Seriously, even if you're not annoyed, the audience is. Can you please stop dragging out the plot?"
"Why should I listen to you?" Xie Xiaoling sneered, disdainfully saying, "You think you can defeat me with just a secretly filmed video?"
Yan Shenyu: "At least it proves that you are the other woman."
"I'm not a mistress!" Xie Xiaoling retorted, frowning. "I was the one who got together with Xiao Zhenliang first; we just had a cold war later!"
Yan Shenyu: "Haven't you heard this saying? If a couple doesn't contact each other for a week during a cold war, they've basically broken up."
"I won't fall for your tricks," Xie Xiaoling sneered, "No matter what happened between you two in the past, I'm the one who has him now."
"Do you know what you're like?" Yan Shenyu clicked his tongue, looking sympathetic. "You're like someone who's carrying a bowl of dog poop and eating it all by themselves, getting your mouth all over yourself. What's even more outrageous is that you go around yelling how delicious and tasty the dog poop is, thinking that everyone in the world is going to steal your dog poop."
