Found an auspicious date: opening on October 25.
Ning Qiao, the top scorer on the college entrance exam, is an undisputed genius. He likes his childhood friend Lou Ying, but unfortunately, Lou Ying is as straight as they come. On the night they received their college admission letters, Ning Qiao threw caution to the wind and showed Lou Ying how he felt. Lou Ying promptly ran off overseas and avoided him for eight years.
Even a genius can be stumped: how do you turn a straight man gay?
Years later, Lou Ying returns to China. The two meet again after all this time, only for Ning Qiao to get hit by a car and end up in the hospital. Remembering their younger days, Lou Ying jokes with Ning Qiao, who has just woken up and seems to have lost his memory.
Lou Ying: "Do you remember me? I'm your darling boyfriend."
Ning Qiao scolds him: "You're really vicious."
Lou Ying pulls out his phone. "Then let's add each other on WeChat."
Ning Qiao coolly refuses: "I never add someone a second time after they delete me."
Because of their families' relationship, the two have no choice but to put aside their past grievances and make up. They move in together under the same roof, in a house the family had even prepared as Lou Ying's marital home.
Ning Qiao thinks this must be fate, so he plans to throw caution to the wind and confess again. But before he can make a move, Lou Ying comes to him first, looking so furious he seems ready to explode.
"Do you know that damn senior of yours likes you? He even wants to turn you gay. What a piece of work!"
Ning Qiao: ?
His genius brain whirs into action. Realizing Lou Ying isn't joking, Ning Qiao suppresses his confusion. "You didn't know I was already gay?"
Lou Ying thinks he must have misheard. "Who's gay?"
"Me."
Lou Ying: ???
It takes Lou Ying a long time to recover from the shock of his childhood friend suddenly turning out to be gay. Then he asks, "When did you turn gay? Was it that rotten senior of yours? Can we get you straight again with some Chinese medicine?"
Ning Qiao ignores the rest of his nonsense and answers coolly, "Ten years ago."
Lou Ying: ???
Still reeling, Lou Ying finds his voice and presses on. "Which rotten bastard led you astray?"
"You."
Lou Ying: ???
Confess early, enjoy love early. Ignoring Lou Ying's shock, Ning Qiao steps forward and kisses him, without a trace of the nervousness of someone waiting for an answer after confessing. With an arrogant look, he gives Lou Ying an order.
"My patience is limited. Hurry up and turn gay."
Lou Ying finally comes to his senses. Face blazing red, he covers his mouth and glares furiously at Ning Qiao.
"That was my first kiss!!!"
"It wasn't your first anymore." Ning Qiao smiles and winks at him. "Actually, I'm kind of a piece of work too."
[Reading Notes]:
1. A direct, teasing bottom × a straight man who is utterly devoted top.
2. A little angst. The misunderstanding eight years ago was purely a misunderstanding. They had incomplete information about each other, and the story has different perspectives.
3. The blurb only highlights relatively important moments, not the complete plot.
Theme: Anything is possible
