Chapter 112: You’re Seriously a Creep!
Last night, Li Mu didn’t dare go back to the dorm until around 10 p.m., right before the building was about to close.
Luckily, Wang Chen seemed to have taken the rejection pretty hard and didn’t come back that night.
But early the next morning, when Li Mu woke up, he found that Wang Chen had somehow returned while he was sleeping. Now he was snoring loudly in bed, reeking of alcohol.
He probably knows the truth now, right?
At the very least, Wang Chen must’ve noticed something suspicious.
Feeling guilty and nervous, Li Mu didn’t stay in bed any longer. After quickly washing up, he rushed to class and sat in his seat, pretending to study his English textbook and memorize vocabulary like he was super focused.
It should be fine, right? Wang Chen wouldn’t dare do anything in class.
If something happened, Wu Lei and Yu Fan would definitely step in to stop him.
But how did he get found out?
Everything was going smoothly last night... until the very end when something went wrong, and he had to run away in a panic. He should’ve stayed calm.
Frustrated, he scratched his hair a few times, then slumped over his desk with a big sigh.
But he quickly sat up again. Ever since his body started changing, he couldn’t lie on his chest like that anymore.
Even a little pressure hurt, not to mention lying flat on a hard desk.
The classroom started to get noisy as more students arrived. When Wang Chen finally walked in, Li Mu felt his heart jump again.
But Wang Chen didn’t seem to be angry. He just went straight to the seat behind Li Mu and laid down on the desk to sleep again.
Looks like he doesn’t know I was cross-dressing.
Li Mu sneakily glanced back, only to find Wang Chen staring right at him.
That scared the life out of him. He quickly turned his head away and broke into a cold sweat.
So creepy.
The way he’s looking at me feels like he wants to eat me.
Li Mu shivered and didn’t dare say a word, sitting there like a scared little bird.
He can’t just hope that guy doesn’t know. He definitely realized that “sister” was actually him in disguise.
The disguise wasn’t perfect to begin with, any normal person could’ve figured it out with a few clues. It was just that Wang Chen hadn’t spent much time around him and was too love-struck to think clearly. That’s why he didn’t notice all the signs before.
Yu Fan came into class and, seeing that Li Mu’s deskmate wasn’t there yet, plopped down beside him. He leaned over and asked, “Can your sister come Wednesday afternoon?”
What he really meant was: Did you buy the wig yet?
“She can’t...” Li Mu answered with a dark expression, shaking his head.
The good wigs were too expensive. Most cost several hundred, even over a thousand. He couldn’t afford one.
After chatting with Yu Fan a bit, Li Mu noticed Wang Chen’s eyes staring at him more and more intensely.
Was this guy... some kind of creep?
Like, the kind who wants to destroy what he can’t have?
Under the desk, Li Mu tugged on Yu Fan’s sleeve a few times. When Yu Fan finally looked over, Li Mu gave him a bunch of exaggerated facial expressions, trying to signal something.
“What? Your eyes hurt or something?”
“……”
“Oh, breakfast, right? I still have half a bun left from this morning,” Yu Fan said as he reached into his bag and pulled out a meat floss bun, with one big bite already taken out of it.
Li Mu turned his head away, looking hopeless.
Luckily, Yu Fan also noticed that Wang Chen, who sat behind them, had a strange look in his eyes. He looked at Li Mu, then at Wang Chen, crossed his legs, and casually rested his arm on the desk behind him. With a grin, he asked, “Brother, why do you keep staring at me?”
Wang Chen just gave a small laugh and looked away.
Yu Fan had no idea what happened between Li Mu and Wang Chen the night before. Still smiling like he was proud of something, he said, “Brother, it’s not my fault Li Mu’s sister likes me. What can I do? I made the first move! And I do look more like her type than you, right?”
Li Mu covered his face with one hand and tugged on Yu Fan’s shirt with the other.
Stop making it worse! Don’t provoke him!
Yu Fan gave Li Mu a confused look, but then Wang Chen suddenly asked, “So, you and Li Mu…”
“We’re like future brothers-in-law,” Yu Fan said boldly. “His sister and I are getting ready to get engaged!”
He felt like a hero, helping Li Mu out of a tough spot with no hesitation.
“Oh? So you and Li Mu aren’t a couple?”
“Of course not! Why do people keep thinking that? We’re not gay.” Yu Fan shook his head, totally confused.
Sure, he admitted Li Mu looked kind of girly and could easily be misunderstood, but still, why did so many people ask about it?
Especially when they knew Li Mu was a guy.
Wang Chen nodded, then suddenly turned to Li Mu and asked, “Then it’s okay if I chase after you, right?”
Li Mu was so shocked he almost jumped out of his seat.
But he forced himself to stay calm and asked coldly, “What does you liking my sister have to do with me?”
“But aren’t you and your sister... the same person?”
Yu Fan’s eyes went wide with shock. He looked totally stunned. “Li Mu, when did he find out!?”
“Last night,” Wang Chen said, crossing his arms and sneering. “I already thought something was off about Li Juan, but I didn’t think too much at the time. Then after bumping into you yesterday and drinking a bit, everything just clicked.”
Before, he had been blinded by love at first sight and wasn’t thinking straight. But now, he was completely clear-headed.
Li Mu nervously looked around. Seeing it was just him, Wang Chen, and Yu Fan nearby, he finally relaxed a little.
After a moment, he understood the situation and gave up pretending to be cool. With a miserable face and a quiet voice, he pleaded, “I was wrong, okay? Really wrong. Please stop bothering me.”
“It was just a prank! And it’s not like I took much from you. Just a few meals and some snacks, it didn’t even cost a hundred yuan. I’ll pay you back a hundred, is that okay?”
He accepted the consequences of what he’d done.
“Fine, if you’re gonna hit me, just don’t hit my face. A couple hits are fine, just don’t go too far, okay?”
Yu Fan immediately stood up like a bodyguard. “No way! Wang Chen, if you’re angry, take it out on me! I was the one who initiated everything.”
The two of them looked super on edge. But Wang Chen let out a deep sigh and said softly, “Relax, I’m not here to get revenge on Li Mu.”
Since when are you so calm and understanding?
Li Mu looked at him suspiciously. “What do you want?”
Wang Chen shook his head. “Let me finish.”
So Li Mu immediately shut his mouth and listened obediently as Wang Chen continued, “Last night, after I came back drunk, I stood by your bed and looked at you for a long time.”
“You’re such a creep…” Li Mu mumbled helplessly.
“The more I looked, the more I felt something was wrong. Then I thought about it carefully and realized something…”
“There’s no rule that says I have to like girls. In a lot of countries, two men can get married. And if you had surgery, even here in our country, we could get married, right?”
“Li Mu… how about we just be together?”
Li Mu's face went pale, and Yu Fan jumped up, blurted out, "You're such a freaking creep!"
