Chapter 75: Chen Zhihao
Li Mu's four roommates were sitting on the grass of the playground, doing nothing. A few of them were playing a game, occasionally glancing at the stage.
Chen Zhihao was the first one to be eliminated, so he seemed more bored than the others. He looked at the stage, then turned to Wang Chen and asked, “Wang Tan, don’t you usually go to the gym at this time?”
“It’s Wang Chen!” Wang Chen corrected him, but as soon as he looked up, he realized his character in the game had been killed.
He threw his phone onto the grass and laid back, sighing. “No more gym for me. I’ll never go to the gym again in my life.”
“Why?”
“The girls don’t like it. If it doesn’t attract women, then what’s the point of working out?” He sighed again, looking up at the slightly gloomy sky.
“It’s fine. The girls not liking it has nothing to do with the gym,” Chen Zhihao thought for a moment and tried to comfort him, “It’s mainly because of your face.”
“……”
While Chen Zhihao was talking, he turned his head by chance and saw Yu Fan talking to Li Mu across the field.
“There are plenty of fish in the sea, you know.”
Wang Chen, with confidence, replied, “It was love at first sight! I’ve decided she’s the one for me!”
“But…” Chen Zhihao frowned slightly, unsure whether he should say something.
Though he once believed that woman was Li Mu’s sister, he started to feel something was off.
Let’s not even talk about why Li Mu’s sister would be in the boys' dorm and lock the dorm door from the inside... but the awkward way she walked, she clearly twisted her ankle, right?
What’s the chance that both siblings would twist their ankles at the same time?
Also, that short hair. No matter how you look at it, it was the same as Li Mu’s hairstyle, just with a hairpin.
And before, she was called Li Mu’s girlfriend, then later his sister, then on Monday, she was said to be Yu Fan’s girlfriend, and then somehow replaced Li Mu to go on stage with Yu Fan for the competition... honestly, there were so many holes in the story, he didn’t even feel like commenting anymore.
Seeing Wang Chen in a “love at first sight” mood, Chen Zhihao was about to explain the situation but saw Wang Chen suddenly look at him suspiciously.
“You don’t like her too, do you?” Wang Chen said, realizing. “Don’t you dare fight me for her!”
No, I’m not interested in men, even though Li Mu is very pretty.
Chen Zhihao suddenly lost the desire to tell Wang Chen the truth. He turned his head and looked at Li Mu in the distance.
Wang Chen also noticed Li Mu and saw that he was leaving with Yu Fan. Wang Chen said with some expectation, “They’re probably going to pick up his sister, right?”
As he said this, Wang Chen stood up, intending to check it out, but Chen Zhihao grabbed him and said, “Don’t go.”
“Why?”
“You’re not close to them.”
“Right…”
…………………………………………
On the other side, Li Mu went into the bathroom of the main building to change into his girl’s clothes.
He put on a mask and the hoodie’s hood, hiding himself as much as possible.
When he walked out, Yu Fan had been waiting for a while.
“Why didn’t you wear a wig?”
“Last time, I didn’t wear a wig and Chen Zhihao saw me. Wearing a wig this time might make it too obvious.”
Yu Fan nodded, stretching. He then looked at Li Mu from head to toe with an appreciative look.
Honestly, Li Mu's face right now, from any angle, didn't look like a man's, and with makeup, he definitely looked like one of the top-tier girls you'd meet in daily life.
Too bad he’s a guy.
“Let’s go.” He put his hands in his pockets, took the bag of clothes from Li Mu, which contained cosmetics and the male clothes Li Mu had changed out of.
Li Mu took a deep breath, glanced at Yu Fan’s back, and quickly followed him.
He’s still so nervous.
Even though last time, going out in girl’s clothes was like a rehearsal, he’s still really nervous.
He walked with Yu Fan to the outside of the main building, slightly lifting his head to look at the students around. His breath immediately felt heavier.
The last time he went out in girl’s clothes was on Saturday, and there weren’t many students on the playground or in the dorms. But now it was Wednesday afternoon, the fourth class of the day, and students were wandering around the playground doing nothing. Even though not many people were paying attention to the top singer auditions, there were definitely more students here than last time.
His body instinctively started to stiffen. Li Mu lowered his head, taking small steps and walking faster to hide behind Yu Fan.
He knew his actions looked very feminine, but he didn’t know what else to do.
“Xiao Jing, come up.” His hands were in his hoodie pockets, tightly holding the mirror inside, and he whispered, “If anyone talks to me now, you answer for me.”
He didn’t get an answer, but Li Mu could feel his body gradually becoming full, as if something was being filled inside.
“Don’t be too nervous, it’ll only make people notice,” Yu Fan said as he casually walked, occasionally nodding and greeting girls nearby.
This guy was popular not only in class but also around the school.
He found an empty spot and sat down, looking up at Li Mu with a big smile, “What does it feel like to wear girl’s clothes?”
“Try it, and you’ll know,” Li Mu didn’t want to lift his head and show his red face. He sat down, staring at the grass beneath him.
“I’ll think about it when I get a girlfriend.” Yu Fan laid back on the grass, crossing his legs and putting his hands behind his head. “You always say many girls like me, but I don’t feel anything.”
“Are you really expecting girls to chase after you?”
“No, you know one of the biggest illusions in life is thinking that girls like you,” Yu Fan pouted. “I’m not going to make the first move and have my warm face slapped by a cold one. Besides, the girls here don’t even look as good as you in girl’s clothes.”
They chatted casually, and Li Mu did feel a bit more relaxed.
But then, he saw Wang Chen happily walking toward them.
The moment he relaxed, his face tensed up again.
He quickly reminded Yu Fan, “Help me block Wang Chen.”
“Wang Chen? Didn’t you have dinner with him before?”
Yu Fan propped himself up, squinting as he looked at Wang Chen. “What’s up with him?”
“He’s a creep.”
“Oh, does he want to chase you?” Yu Fan mumbled, “Didn’t I say you were my girlfriend? How could anyone still chase after you?”
“……”
He turned to Li Mu and smiled, “You didn’t think I said that to take advantage of you, right?”
“No.”
Li Mu said that, but his face clearly said, ‘isn’t that the reason?’
“In the end, they figured out we’re not really a couple,” Yu Fan stood up, complaining, “Your acting skills need some work.”
He walked straight toward Wang Chen and put his arm around his shoulder, “Hey man, what’s up?”
Wang Chen looked at him with a suspicious expression, “I just want to talk to Li Mu’s sister for a bit.”
“Didn’t you see she’s busy sitting over there?”
Wang Chen looked at “Li Mu’s sister” but only saw “her” doing nothing.
