I Dressed as a Woman and Fished for Half a Day, but the Older Man Is Gay??

Cen Sheng has a face so androgynous you can't tell whether he's male or female, and a sweet, sugary, cutesy voice. He's the dream wife of countless cosplay fans. To help his cousin teach her scumbag boyfriend a lesson, he puts himself in danger and applies to be the man's live-in maid, dressed as a woman.

He hears that the scumbag is over thirty, still unmarried, and has a type: gorgeous women with smoking-hot figures. Cen Sheng figures he'll make the man fall for him, then dump him hard to avenge his cousin.

On his first day, he walks into a dim study lit by candles, biting his lower lip and smiling seductively as he carries in a glass of red wine.

One careless slip, and the wine spills onto an expensive suit.

Cen Sheng: ...

"I'm sorry, boss. I didn't mean to," he says with a coy pout.

The man pauses and lifts his eyes slightly. "It's fine. Wipe it off for me."

In a steamy bathroom, Cen Sheng carries in a towel with both hands. His foot slips, a rough hand catches him around the waist, and two apples fall out.

Cen Sheng: ...

He wants to die on the spot.

"M-my chest is small, s-so..." The awkwardness speaks for itself.

As graduation approaches, Cen Sheng receives an offer from his dream company. Wearing a crisp white shirt and jeans, with all the swagger of a young man, he goes to interview there.

He pushes open the door and is stunned to see Gu Xingyan sitting among the interviewers.

Cen Sheng: I'm done for! Can I say I'm Cen Xiaohua's younger brother?

Gu Xingyan rolls a finger between his own and says, "Cen Xiaohua, if you work as my personal assistant at the company, are you still going to dress as a woman?"

After using one lie to cover another, Cen Sheng learns that his secret identity was exposed ages ago.

He gives up pretending and points at Gu Xingyan. "You like seeing me dressed as a woman that much? Are you a pervert? Tell me!"

Looking at those jade-white fingers, their tips faintly pink, Gu Xingyan's lips curl and his eyes lift. "A pervert would dress as a woman and come seduce his boss, then seduce him like he was her husband. Cen Xiaohua, have you got me all wrong?"

Cen Sheng's face turns scarlet with embarrassment. He clenches his fists and grits his teeth. "Gu! Xing! Yan!"

"Old! Man!"

Gu Xingyan suddenly moves in close. "Gu Xingyan. Male. Not yet thirty. Not old, and not a scumbag. But..."

Cen Sheng: ?

He senses something is off.

Gu Xingyan's gaze deepens. "I'm gay."

Cen Sheng jerks his head up: ... Huh?

(Can I still make a run for it?)
