Don’t Try to Bend Me

As a recognized beauty in the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University, Gu Jiqing’s pure and lustful appearance captivated all the girls in the school. However, on the first day of school, he admitted that he was a Gay and reportedly even twisted several straight men. Zhou Cibai, as a recognized member of the Architecture Department of Tsinghua University with a height of 1.9 meters and bursting with a hormonal aura, is praised by all the girls as a big walking general attacker. However, he was clearly a homophobe from the first day of school. On the first day they were assigned to the same dormitory, Zhou Cibai said with a stern expression, “Sorry, I’m not interested in men.” Upon hearing this, Gu Jiqing thought to himself: Fortunately, anyway, he doesn’t like large dogs either. The two hit it off and thought they could get along well. However, when Gu Jiqing took a shower and forgot to blow his hair, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he woke up and forgot to wear pants, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he was sick and rubbed his palms unconsciously, Zhou Cibai would still blush and slam the door. Gu Jiqing thought to himself that Zhou Cibai must be homophobic to the extreme. Until one day, he was drugged at a bar. In front of Zhou Cibai, he was about to find a young, handsome, clean, and lively fellow to help him. Zhou Cibai, however, pressed down on his waist and said through clenched teeth, “Gu Jiqing, do you think I’m not handsome enough or do you think I’m not clean enough?” Gu Jiqing blinked in confusion and said, “Ah? Isn’t it because you can’t?” . When Zhou Cibai was in junior high school, he had a goddess whom he fell in love with at first sight. However, because of a gay stalker, causing him to lose face in front of his goddess, and from then on, he kept a respectful distance from gay. As a result, Gu Jiqing took a bath and wanted to seduce him with wet hair. He exposed his thighs when he got out of bed to seduce him, and when he’s sick, he even softly acted spoiled to seduce him. And even the red mole on the corner of his eye was the same as his goddess. Zhou Cibai finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said with a cold face, “Gu Jiqing, can you restrain yourself a bit? Don’t try to bend me all day long.” Then that night, he put Gu Jiqing to sleep. Zhou Cibai, who grew up believing that holding hands meant falling in love, looked at the rubber cond*ms on the ground and felt that although he has h*mophobia, he still had to take responsibility for Gu Jiqing. So he decided to destroy the goddess’s photo, bid farewell to the past, and establish a formal romantic relationship with Gu Jiqing. However, Gu Jiqing, who had been pestering him all night, just laid in bed, lazily hooking at a photo of the goddess, and asked in a muffled voice, “How come you have a photo of me from middle school?” Then he raised the corner of his eyes and lightly wrote, “Oh, by the way, ten thousand yuan has been transferred to you, just think of it as your hard work charge last night. You’re welcome.” Zhou Cibai, who has h*mophobia, with a fortune worth only 10,000 yuan a night. “???”

## My Thoughts on Don’t Try to Bend Me "Don't Try to Bend Me" is a completed yaoi novel that I found myself pleasantly surprised by. It's a fluffy, lighthearted romance centered around school life and sports, and despite a few minor drawbacks, I found it to be an enjoyable read overall. The story focuses on the dynamic between our main characters, often described as a "golden retriever x black cat" pairing, which I thought was pretty accurate. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the synopsis and the promise of a sweet romance. I was a little hesitant at first, seeing some opinions about potential homophobia, but those seem to be based on early misunderstandings and ultimately not a significant issue within the story. It's more about the male lead's initial awkwardness and eventual acceptance, which is handled fairly well. ### What Works Well The character development is a strong point. I appreciated how the story delved into the backgrounds of the MC and ML, showing how their contrasting family dynamics shaped their personalities and their approach to love. The male lead is a devoted and determined character, and the way he heals the MC's loneliness is touching. The MC's growth is also well-done, as he blossoms throughout the story, becoming more playful and confident. The novel has a good balance of fluff, humor, and some moments of heartfelt emotion. ### Areas of Concern The length of the novel might be a drawback for some, particularly in the early chapters where the male lead is coming to terms with his feelings. Some readers might find this part a bit slow or even experience second-hand embarrassment. Also, the initial attraction between the MC and ML is based somewhat on appearance, which may not appeal to readers seeking a more nuanced or slow-burn romance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have mentioned the family prank near the end of the novel where the ML's family reveals that they already know about the relationship. This moment is apparently quite wholesome and adds to the overall lighthearted tone. ### Final Verdict Despite some minor pacing issues and a somewhat superficial initial attraction, "Don't Try to Bend Me" is a charming and fluffy read. The character development and the exploration of family dynamics add depth to the story. If you're looking for a sweet, low-drama yaoi romance with a devoted ML and a blossoming MC, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
