My Homophobic Roommate Regretted Rejecting My Confession

■ Turning a straight man gay | Love-struck top | A groveling pursuit to win back his love

He Jue is a famous beauty at Shangchuan University's A campus. Warm and gentle as jade, handsome and kindhearted, he's praised by students and teachers alike. They say he personally turned his former roommate gay.

Yet on the very first day he meets his new roommate, he treats him like air, his gaze cold.

Zhang Bu Chen is the undisputed campus heartthrob at Shangchuan University's B campus. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and eight-pack abs, he's considered the gay community's ideal man. People in the know say he transferred campuses because he's homophobic.

Yet on the day he moves to the new campus, he gives his new roommate a lovesick grin.

The first time Zhang Bu Chen sees He Jue: "You're a pretty handsome guy, bro!"

The other man can't help fleeing in a panic.

Zhang Bu Chen is devastated on the spot: What a poser!

-

Zhang Bu Chen hears that He Jue is famously gentle and easygoing, yet always avoids him.

So he clings to He Jue every day, showing off and striking poses in front of him.

Until he accidentally takes things too far, and He Jue changes his cold attitude and... confesses to him?!

Zhang Bu Chen is horrified: I'm homophobic! I'm straight!

He Jue calmly accepts reality: Oh.

Then he quickly walks away without looking back.

From then on, Zhang Bu Chen loses his meal buddy, his cuddles, and all chances to prove how charming he is. He regrets everything.

Then one day, someone on the phone offers to set He Jue up with a boyfriend: "188 cm, six-pack, great size!"

Zhang Bu Chen, eavesdropping, can't help sizing himself up: "190 cm, eight-pack, even better size!"

That night, a plea for advice blows up on the campus message board:

--"Help! I rejected my roommate's confession, and now I regret it. What does a straight guy do?"

The top comment replies: I'm going to die from all you devious gay guys!

-

Ever since He Jue learned his new roommate was homophobic, he'd been very cold toward him.

But Zhang Bu Chen enjoyed himself all the same, insisting on following him everywhere:

They had to go to and from class together, and eat together;

He even had to hold He Jue in his arms when they slept;

Later, he repeatedly crossed the line when drunk, sneaking kisses from him!

He Jue hated these little tricks from a straight guy, but as Zhang Bu Chen tested the waters step by step, he couldn't help falling deeper and deeper.

After the failed confession, the two fell into a cold war. He Jue thought they would never have anything to do with each other again.

But Zhang Bu Chen secretly followed him on a date and, unable to hold back, confessed to him outside. "I'm homophobic, but I'm not afraid of you..."

He Jue: "...?!"

Later, Zhang Bu Chen even chased He Jue all the way to his hometown. The former homophobic straight guy held him in his arms, pulled out photos of He Jue that he'd secretly kept, and asked with a smile:

--So you avoided me back then... because you had a crush on me all along?!
