I Really Can't Eat Any More, Daddy!!

Short-tempered, clingy drama queen x emotionally stable, doting daddy type

1.

Qiao Man could easily make a living off his looks, but instead he chose the bizarre competitive-eating livestream scene.

One day, he came across a fitness streamer calling him out by name: "Keep eating like this, and you'll pay for it sooner or later."

The man's name was Qin Wenchu. He was a Chinese American with broad shoulders, long legs, and muscles all over. His account featured nothing but weightlifting and chewing on boiled chicken breast, while the chat went wild over his biceps and screamed, "Daddy!"

Qiao Man scoffed. "What Daddy? He's just a poser using me to build his account."

Just then, his roommate lamented that he'd gained thirty pounds since falling in love. Qiao Man had a flash of inspiration: he'd trick Qin Wenchu into dating him, drag him to eat and drink to excess, and cling to him twenty-four hours a day so he wouldn't have time to work out.

He refused to believe anyone could escape the curse of happy relationship weight!

So he swallowed his disgust at homosexuality and confessed to Qin Wenchu.

He put on a shy face, laughing to himself: Take that, poser Daddy. Say goodbye to your abs!

The plan went smoothly until Qin Wenchu announced their relationship during a livestream watched by a hundred thousand people. His public image collapsed overnight, and he was saddled with a huge penalty for breaking his endorsement contracts.

Qiao Man had only wanted to ruin his abs, not his life.

As Qiao Man was consumed with guilt, Qin Wenchu told him there were two options for switching to a new content niche, and he needed Qiao Man's cooperation.

One: film their everyday life as a couple.

Qiao Man's scalp tingled. No way! He's homophobic!

So he decisively picked option two: film a complete beginner's fitness journey.

Sure, working out was exhausting, but it had to be better than kissing and cuddling with a man... right?

Later, one day, Qin Wenchu lifted him by the waist from the pillow. Tears had soaked half his face.

"Your core strength still isn't good enough," the man said in a businesslike tone, his lips brushing Qiao Man's ear. "Rest for ten seconds, then we'll do it again, Xiao Man."

With his back pressed against the man's firm chest, Qiao Man finally realized something was wrong.

How were the two options the same thing?!

Qin Wenchu had a crush he'd never forgotten.

On the first day back in China, he heard that person say gay men were disgusting, so he decided to bury his feelings.

But then that person came right up to him, ears red, and said, "I... I really like you..."

"...I want to go eat mochi, hot chicken noodles, extra sauce, and a bursting mille-crepe cake with you."

Of course he knew Qiao Man was trying to deceive him.

But seeing the young man's pale, bloodless face and clearly untrained figure, he still answered, "Okay."

His crush had been taking such poor care of himself.

From now on, Qin Wenchu would have to take care of him himself.

[Extra Scene]

Years later, the "Abs-B-Gone Plan" accidentally fell into Qin Wenchu's hands.

"Didn't you say you'd tear down my disciplined image?" His palm stroked the faint definition on the young man's stomach, every inch of it something he'd built himself. "Xiao Man, you did a great job."

"I can't eat any more..." Qiao Man's voice was tight, his fingers curling around Qin Wenchu's wrist as he begged for mercy.

"I really can't eat anymore, Daddy."
