How Could I Possibly Turn Him Gay?

Ning Qingzhuo is an A-list singer and a B-list actor. With a ridiculously gorgeous face and a reckless personality, he has long been a fixture near the top of entertainment rankings. In his five years since debut, he's turned countless people gay, yet he acts as if he can pass through a field of flowers without a single petal clinging to him. He's never crossed the line with anyone in particular.

That is, until he joins a travel variety show. The little tyrant transforms into an obedient, clingy sweetheart, sticking close to his partner wherever they go.

He calls him "big brother" every other word, casually holding hands and hugging him. Even when he looks at Lu Zexi, his eyes are always bright with a smile.

Compared with the other two couples, Ning Qingzhuo and Lu Zexi's interactions are off-the-charts sweet. But when the other guests tease Lu Zexi, asking if he's Ning Qingzhuo's next "target," Ning Qingzhuo just smiles and shakes his head. "Big brother? How could I possibly turn him gay?"

Netizens: We don't believe you. We're practically gay already.

Then, during an interview filmed for one episode, the production team picks some questions from viewers. The first asks whether Ning Qingzhuo could possibly turn Lu Zexi gay.

Lu Zexi answers without hesitation: "No."

Director: "Then what do you think of the way Ning Qingzhuo treats you differently from everyone else?"

Lu Zexi's lips curve slightly. "Qingzhuo has always been like this."

Back in elementary school, Lu Zexi already knew that the pampered darling from the Ning family next door wasn't as well-behaved as he looked.

Everyone said Ning Qingzhuo was beautiful and lovable, so his little bouts of willfulness were easy to forgive. But the tried-and-true tricks he used to wheedle people never worked on Lu Zexi.

After Lu Zexi caught him skipping school for the fourth time and dragged him home without mercy, Ning Qingzhuo suddenly had a bold idea: If Lu Zexi liked him too, would he stop meddling in his business?

But over the ten years of his plan to turn Lu Zexi gay, Lu Zexi was as impervious as a straight man could be. He occasionally slipped up, but in the end, Ning Qingzhuo never managed to budge him in the slightest.

Ning Qingzhuo was fed up and decided to stop trying. Instead, Lu Zexi came after him, grabbing his hand and asking, "Aren't you so good at flirting? Why are you trying to run away?"

"Ning Qingzhuo, which one of us did you actually turn gay?"
