I Can't Escape After Turning My Straight Roommate Gay

Ning Xi, a sophomore and the star of the acting department, has a goddess he secretly adores.

But the goddess only has eyes for his aloof, self-important roommate, Ling Yisui.

To make matters worse, malicious rumors that he was “always flirting with men, a cross-dressing grifter, and a heartbreaker” cost him the role he'd dreamed of getting.

Every clue points to Ling Yisui, the homophobic straight guy who comes and goes at odd hours, barely interacts with him, and yet somehow manages to annoy and infuriate him more than anyone.

“Fine. You want to act all aloof and spread rumors about me?” A fire of revenge lit in Ning Xi's eyes. He decided to make the rumors come true, bend this straight guy, get everything he could out of him, and then dump him as payback!

So Ning Xi, a fake social butterfly who's actually terrified of people, began deliberately getting close to Ling Yisui.

This included but wasn't limited to running into him at the cafeteria, wearing women's clothes in the dorm, and bringing him water after basketball. He smiled brightly, letting their physical contact seem accidental.

At first, Ling Yisui was like: ...Gay guys, stay away from me.

But at some point, his eyes always began following Ning Xi, and his breathing grew unsteady around him. His vaunted self-control crumbled under Ning Xi's deliberate and not-so-deliberate teasing. He was so shy, yet so forward. He must really like me.

The cool, straight guy was bent against his will and fell head over heels before he knew it.

Just as Ning Xi's scheme succeeded and Ling Yisui was completely smitten, he even pinned Ning Xi behind a door and asked in a husky voice, “Want to get a hotel room together tonight?”

Ning Xi's expression changed instantly, and he burst out laughing. “How many drinks have you had? You're wasted!”

“Don't flatter yourself! You really think you're so great you could seduce me?” He slapped Ling Yisui's hand away. “I'm straight. I was just playing with you!”

Before Ling Yisui could react, Ning Xi turned and ran, making his escape in a flash.

Then, not long afterward, the truth came out.

The real rumor-monger had shown up.

Ning Xi's head was spinning. I'm screwed. I got the wrong guy, bent him, and it looks like I really offended him, too!

...I need to get out of here, fast.

He didn't get away.

After enduring weeks of the cold shoulder, Ling Yisui's patience finally ran out when he heard Ning Xi wanted to switch dorms and saw him walking with a girl.

He dragged him straight back to the dorm and pressed him onto a narrow single bed.

His tall frame loomed over Ning Xi. Ling Yisui stared at Ning Xi's evasive eyes, his voice low and dangerous.

“When you were bending me, weren't you having a great time?” He gripped Ning Xi's chin. “Didn't you say I wasn't all that capable?”

“Then I'll show you just how capable I am.”

Ning Xi: “...”

What do I do? If I admit I was wrong and beg for mercy now, he'll definitely make sure I can't get out of bed.

If I don't... he'll probably do even worse and make sure I can't get out of bed!

One day, after he'd gotten himself completely entangled with Ling Yisui, Ning Xi discovered that Ling Yisui had an old phone. Not only was its photo album full of pictures of him, it also had a collection of fanfics about the two of them that Ling Yisui had rewarded and urged the author to update.

Ning Xi: Wait, what? So he'd had his eye on me all along???

What happened to him being straight???
