Making Him Fall for a Man

Originally titled After Accidentally Joining a Reality Show for Straight Men [Please read the content warnings below before deciding whether to dive in] [Chaos-loving dirty-talk king x aloof, scheming genius] [Baseball player from the sports department, bottom x computer science genius, top] Yi Yuan had a problem: his cousin had come out. The thought of his cousin being pinned beneath another man was enough to jolt him awake from nightmares. To bring his cousin back to his senses, Yi Yuan signed him up for a reality show about straight men growing up. Later, he found out this was no ordinary show. It was actually a program searching among straight men for genuine gay men! To help his cousin hide his identity, Yi Yuan pretended to be gay and joined the show too. He had disliked contestant number three, Ji Chen, for a long time. The man claimed to be a once-in-a-century computer genius at the University of Science and Technology. But he was just a scumbag with a frosty face who used his wealth and influence to cheat on Yi Yuan's sister and hurt her. There was no way Yi Yuan could let that go. He had to drag Ji Chen down with him. Yi Yuan studied a guide to turning straight men gay and tried every trick in the book, from playing hard to get to feigning indifference. After showering, he accidentally put on Ji Chen's shirt and paraded around in front of him with his bare legs. "We're both straight guys. You don't mind, right, bro?" Yi Yuan pretended to be drunk, clutched Ji Chen by the collar, and burrowed into his arms. "Bro, I feel awful. Help me..." Ji Chen was arrogant and cold, and hated having other people near him. Only Yi Yuan had special privileges: slinging an arm over his shoulder and calling him bro. The whole world thought they were dating, but Yi Yuan didn't take it seriously. "Don't make things up. We're brothers in socialist camaraderie." Ji Chen's cousin was planning a reality show about straight men growing up. Before the show even aired, it was already in trouble: everyone who signed up was gay. She had no choice but to coax and cajole her straight cousin into filling a spot. Before filming began, she warned him, "Everyone's gay except contestant number six, Yi Yuan. Be careful." After some time, Ji Chen asked, "Are you sure number six is straight?" His cousin sounded confident. "Relax. He's as straight as an arrow, just pretending to be gay for the prize money and his cousin's sake." As the show neared its end, Yi Yuan's cousin pushed open his bedroom door. "Bro, you were right. What's so great about men? I'm never falling in love with one again?!" Ji Chen lay on the bed, covering Yi Yuan's ears as he pulled him into his arms. "Shh. He was exhausted last night and hasn't woken up yet." His cousin's eyes widened in shock. Help! What do I do if my cousin has turned gay?! Bonus scene: The tipsy Yi Yuan cornered Ji Chen against the wall. "I've been trying so hard. Why haven't you taken the bait yet? Ji Chen, what kind of damn man are you, mmph...?!" Ji Chen silenced him with a kiss. "Does that prove it enough?" 1. Two straight men turn each other gay. Both are each other's first and only. Happy ending. The top is two years older. 2. A heartwarming story about them bringing light into each other's lives and helping each other become their best selves~ 3. The character design on the cover isn't exclusive. A friend made it for me! [Content warnings] 1. The top dumping the bottom's older sister is a misunderstanding. He has never dated anyone. 2. The bottom is a character who grows over time and isn't perfect at the beginning. If you absolutely require flawless characters and can't accept character growth, please think carefully before reading. 3. People have different tastes. If this isn't for you, please stop reading in time. I can't account for every reader's triggers and favorite tropes, so if you have a lot of triggers, please consider carefully. 4. This is fiction, not a realistic story, so please don't compare it with reality. 5. They both fall for each other, but the top falls first. If you're extremely devoted to the top, please spare the author. I beg you. Coming soon 1: If You'd Told Me You Had a Crush on Me [Reborn] [Sickly, queenly bottom x extremely possessive straight top] Yu Ning had suffered from heart disease since childhood. On the eve of his surgery, his family pressured him into a blind date, but he was caught in a car accident. Ji Nanfeng had wanted to stop Yu Ning from going on the blind date, but could only watch the tragedy unfold. As he performed CPR on Yu Ning in a pool of blood, Ji Nanfeng kept yelling at him, refusing to let him rest. "I was only five minutes late and you're already trying to kill yourself." "If you leave, who am I supposed to argue with?" "Yu Ning, you bastard, get back here!" Only before he died did Yu Ning learn that Ji Nanfeng had secretly protected him for years. When Yu Ning had an attack and fainted, Ji Nanfeng had carried him to the hospital. When Yu Ning couldn't manage the stairs, Ji Nanfeng had paid to have an elevator installed at school. Ji Nanfeng had sent anonymous texts every day to remind him to take his medication. And for six or seven years, Ji Nanfeng had kept putting warm milk in his desk. After Yu Ning passed away, Ji Nanfeng developed lung cancer from years of smoking. Lying in his hospital bed, he gently touched Yu Ning's face in a photograph. "How am I supposed to live without you?" Yu Ning: If this isn't love, then what is? If I'd known you had a crush on me, why would I have gone on that blind date? When Yu Ning woke up again, he had returned to the year he graduated from high school. At that moment, Ji Nanfeng was taking a love letter from a girl, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Ten minutes later, this idiot would come over to show off the love letters he'd collected over the past half month. "See? I'm incredibly popular." Yu Ning angrily knocked the cigarette out of Ji Nanfeng's mouth, grabbed him by the collar, and threatened him. "From today on, you're dating me!" "And don't let me catch you smoking again!" Ji Nanfeng never expected Yu Ning to use such a disgusting trick to get back at him. Fine. He'd date him. He wasn't scared. But Yu Ning was in poor health. A grown man shouldn't bully a sick person, so Ji Nanfeng would wait until he was cured before settling the score. He'd help him find the best hospital for surgery. He got cold in winter, so Ji Nanfeng would have to warm his bed. He got hot in summer, so Ji Nanfeng would have to fan him constantly. He was timid and afraid of ghosts, so Ji Nanfeng would have to soothe him to sleep. His skin was delicate, but he scrubbed too hard, so Ji Nanfeng would have to help him bathe. The surgery arrangements were all settled. What if Yu Ning recovered and ran off with someone else? Who would Ji Nanfeng bully then? Furious, Ji Nanfeng rushed to Yu Ning's bedside, pulled him into his arms, and kissed him as he issued an ultimatum. "I'm warning you, once the surgery's over, we're getting married!" Let's see you run now. Theme: A love in which two people help each other grow and bring light into each other's lives.
