Chapter 61: Brother, You Really Look Kind of Good in Girls’ Clothes!
Lin Yibai understood the part about cross-dressing.
Cross-dressing: Just wear girls' clothes like usual, and that's it, right?
But when it came to makeup, he had no idea what to do.
What’s eyeshadow? What’s blush? And then lipstick?
Looking at all of it made Lin Yibai’s head hurt. “Oh my god, I still need to buy something called foundation? Makeup remover? Eyebrow pencil...? Please give me a break!”
If he really wanted to do full makeup, he started to realize just how hard girls have it. So many powders and creams they have to put on their faces.
For the first time, Lin Yibai began to doubt himself. “Do I really want to become such a complicated girl?”
At the same time—
【Female Correction Value +77%】
After the combo of fake voice + cross-dressing, Lin Yibai now found out that makeup could also give a huge boost to his "female value."
Since coming back from Binhai, his "female value" had already been going up by itself.
Now if he kept practicing makeup, he might just fully transform right inside the dorm!
Lin Yibai let out a soft sigh.
He turned around and asked, “Guys... what do you think of my makeup right now?”
The other guys in the dorm sat up straight. Looking at his face, patches of white here, red there, especially the lipstick, which looked even older than the walls of the Forbidden City...
Honestly, they were thinking, ‘Brother, do you really not see how bad your makeup looks?’
They tried to give him some friendly advice and said gently, “Xiao Bai, maybe we should just stop here. You’re just not made for this kind of thing…”
“You idiots!” Lin Yibai shouted, angry, “Just because my makeup is bad right now, you’ve already decided I’m not cut out for this? I just started learning! Aren’t you supposed to support me as my brothers?”
Yang Chenjun said, “No one can support this!”
Second Brother: “We’re scared!!”
Third Brother: “Xiao Bai, please turn back to normal! That awful woman Gu Xiaoxue isn’t worth all this madness!”
They all thought Lin Yibai had turned out this way because of Gu Xiaoxue.
Makeup is a skill. A good makeup artist can make hundreds of thousands a year, that’s normal.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yibai decided to put the makeup aside for now and said, “How about you guys try listening to my fake voice instead? I swear… it’s super cute and really nice to hear!”
Yang Chenjun shook his head hard, “Nope. No way.”
Lin Yibai got mad again, “Oh, come on! I’m giving you a chance, just listen!”
Then Lin Yibai started warming up his voice, “Ahem~”
“Cough cough~~ Ahem ahem ahem, cough cough~~”
“Cough cough, hmm hmm, cough cough cough~~~”
The guys looked super nervous. Yang Chenjun’s eyelids twitched as he said, “X-Xiao Bai, your throat’s about to catch fire! I just remembered, I’ve got something to do! I’m out! Hahaha!”
“Me too!”
“Wait for me, guys!”
“......”
Damn it! Why did they all run away?
Lin Yibai had just finished adjusting his cute fake girl voice, there’s no way he’d let them escape that easily!
They might escape the monk, but they can’t escape the temple!
He pulled out his phone and called his brother, Yang Chenjun.
“Hello?” On the other end, Yang Chenjun answered in a shaky voice.
Lin Yibai pinched his throat, making it sound sweet and soft, “B-Brother Yang... are you going to the cafeteria? Can you help me buy a meal~?”
That voice was so soft and sweet, you couldn’t even tell it was fake.
It sounded very pleasant and natural.
Yang Chenjun was stunned at first. When he realized what was happening, he asked with a shaky voice, “Wait… are you Xiao Bai?”
“Who else could it be?”
Even though Lin Yibai held the phone far from his ear, he still clearly heard Yang Chenjun shout from the other side, “What the heck!!”
The guys all ran back to the dorm. They even brought a lunchbox back for Lin Yibai.
They had to admit, when it came to fake girl voices, Lin Yibai was really talented.
The boys were all shocked while listening.
Yang Chenjun even clicked his tongue in amazement and said, “There once was a great voice artist in the capital…”
Lin Yibai gave him a glare, “Get lost!”
Yang Chenjun quickly said, “Hey, I was praising you!”
But Lin Yibai didn’t buy it and replied, “Praising me? It didn’t sound like a compliment. It sounded like you were making fun of me.”
“No, really! I’m being serious.”
“Didn’t you say earlier I wasn’t good at this?”
“Well, your cross-dressing really didn’t work…” Yang Chenjun crossed his arms and said seriously, “But your fake voice, that’s something else. You’ve got skill, bro!”
“Now you see how amazing I am, huh!”
“Xiao Bai is number one! So… could you do me a small favor with your fake voice?”
Lin Yibai looked at him suspiciously, “What are you planning?”
Yang Chenjun scratched his head and spoke softly, “Xiao Bai, you know me. I’ve been single my whole life… over 20 years.”
“So?”
Lin Yibai thought, Wait, is he going to ask me to dress up as his fake girlfriend or something?
If that’s it… well, that’s just so cliché!
Yang Chenjun smiled mysteriously and said, “I’m going to make a new WeChat account later. Can you send me a voice message using your fake girl voice?”
“What kind of message?”
“Just say, ‘Yang Chenjun, have you eaten yet?’ That’s all! Damn it, this time I’ll finally prove myself! Once I have that voice message, no one can call me a lonely loser anymore!”
Lin Yibai: ……
That’s it?
You might as well just ask me to dress up and pretend to be your girlfriend instead!
No wonder you’ve been single for over 20 years. It makes sense now.
Also, the situation had changed.
Before, I was begging you guys to look at my cross-dressing. But now, you’re the one asking me for help.
Lin Yibai smiled and said, “You’ll treat me to lunch tomorrow.”
“That’s too much!”
“But you’re the one asking me.”
“Still, it’s too expensive. You want a full lunch in exchange for one sentence? That’s like 30 yuan! I’d have to unload a dozen tons of goods at the warehouse to earn that.”
Dang. Please, stop talking.
Suddenly, Lin Yibai felt kind of sorry for him.
Yang Chenjun really was a down-to-earth guy. At least the kind who could live a stable life. After all, not many college students go back and do such hard part-time jobs.
Even though he liked to talk big, he truly never chased girls.
In the end, he managed to get the voice message he wanted from Lin Yibai. One sentence, in exchange for one simple meal.
Was it worth it? Well, if Yang Chenjun thinks it’s worth it, then it is.
After that, Lin Yibai got up and planned to find a place to seriously study the dark art of makeup.
But as soon as he stepped out of the boys’ dorm. A pair of eyes secretly locked onto him from the shadows.
“Quick, tell Xiaoxue. Lin Yibai seems to be heading to the Management Building. Make sure Xiaoxue acts like she’s really pitiful.”
Ever since Gu Xiaoxue came back, Lin Yibai hadn’t answered her calls or replied to any of her messages.
Her whole dorm had been freaking out, so now that they saw Lin Yibai going out alone, they weren’t going to miss this chance.
Back in the girls’ dorm, Yang Yueping poked her head out and said, “But Xiaoxue, we heard that Xia Changyu is also hanging around the Management Building. What do you think about that?”
Xia Changyu wanted to repay a favor. So he had been hanging around the Management Building lately.
Gu Xiaoxue just gave a cold snort, “If Lin Yibai is there, then I’m not worried at all.”
Wait! She really believed that Lin Yibai, as a guy, would definitely go against Xia Changyu?
Who gave her that kind of confidence?
