@starryskies1111 whaaaat no, that one guy is actually just a friend for both of them and he is straight, it is probably just about two or three chapters with them "flirting" (if you can even call it flirting) with him, but the MC does it mostly to piss off the ML (I think). I had even forgotten that such a thing happened in the story. I mean, it is not even really considered as something possible, don't worry, it is not a main thing in the story.

And yesss the MC of the 14th year of Chenghua solve cases and he is very smart!
