Chapter 84: Helping Out
In the corner restroom on the second floor of the teaching building, a sigh echoed, so unclear that it was hard to tell if it came from a man or a woman.
“Completely… doesn’t fit at all!”
Even though An Han’s body looked almost the same as a girl’s at this point, the cheongsam he bought could barely fit. The shoulder area was extremely tight, as if one wrong movement would tear the fabric apart.
And the cheongsam didn’t fit his body shape at all.
The waist was loose and sloppy, and the chest area wouldn’t fill out. Compared to the model photos online, the real product was basically consumer fraud.
The design looked okay, but the cutting was horribly bad.
An Han didn’t think his body was that bad. At most, his chest was flat. If he had such a terrible figure, so many guys wouldn’t have their affection for him shoot up like crazy all the time.
“As expected, cheap things are never good.”
He had bought two cheongsams, and together they cost almost a hundred yuan. But each one had its own problem. No matter which he wore, it felt uncomfortable. He really felt like he had been scammed.
“Luckily it’s easy to return things these days.”
He muttered while preparing to change out of the cheongsam. But suddenly he heard some movement outside.
He instantly shut his mouth, froze his hands, locked the stall door, and hid inside like a frightened quail, not daring to make a sound.
If he didn’t change out of the cheongsam, at worst he would be seen as a weirdo secretly wearing women’s clothes.
But if someone saw him while he was halfway through changing, then he would look like a pervert doing an “exposure play” in an empty school building.
Both situations were bad, but clearly the second one would be much worse.
The footsteps outside sounded crisp, like leather shoes, so An Han guessed it was a staff member, probably a teacher.
And not every teacher was as open-minded and tolerant as Ren Chi.
He held his breath nervously, his whole body tense. Then he suddenly realized something and looked down at the long cheongsam on him. Under the red fabric, his small buns on the chest were slightly raised, two points almost visible, it looked way too alluring.
When it came time to actually do the mission, he would have to put bandages over his chest. There was no way he was going to buy a bra, right?
But the current crisis wasn’t over yet, and his brain was already imagining a whole dramatic scene of a student getting caught by a teacher.
Luckily, the leather-shoe footsteps soon faded away. He let out a long breath and relaxed, starting to change clothes again.
“Even if the cheongsam doesn’t fit well, it still looks better than men’s clothes…”
As soon as he said that, he slapped both cheeks with his hands in frustration to clear his head.
“My sense of beauty is doing this! That system is trying to push me into becoming a full-time cross-dresser inside and out!”
“I must not give in!”
After changing back into his male clothes, he stuffed everything into the delivery bag and finally stepped out of the restroom.
The moment he looked up, he saw a teacher standing at the door, cigarette in his mouth, staring at him in shock, clearly surprised to see a student hiding in there.
An Han also froze. He stared back at the teacher, equally confused.
Did he hear me talking just now?
“Teacher~ good evening~”
An Han quickly changed his expression, put on a polite smile, and lowered his head as he hurried past.
The teacher glanced at the dark sky outside, then looked at the cigarette in his hand.
Realizing that smoking in front of a student was inappropriate, he put out the cigarette and threw it away. Then he grabbed An Han’s arm as he passed by.
“What is a female student doing here?”
He felt An Han’s behavior was very suspicious.
“I’m a guy!”
An Han shook off the teacher’s hand, stepped back, and answered loudly, trying to sound confident.
The teacher glanced at An Han’s face, then at his chest where he hadn’t had time to put on his coat.
“Having a louder voice doesn’t make your words true.”
“A girl sneaking around in the boys’ restroom, what are you doing here?” The teacher stared at him suspiciously. “And you’re still saying you’re a boy? Show me your student ID.”
Who brings their student ID every day except when entering or leaving the school?!
Footsteps came from the hallway, and a male voice called out from far away.
“Teacher Chen, this meeting is too long. You also came out to use the restroom?”
Hearing that familiar voice, the corner of An Han’s mouth twitched inside the restroom.
Teacher Chen stepped aside. Ren Chi lowered his head and started unbuckling his belt as he walked in. Just as he was about to take something out, he suddenly saw An Han inside.
He jumped in shock. “You again?!”
I want to ask that too! Why is it always you?!
“You two know each other?” Teacher Chen asked.
“He’s my student. Maybe he has class tonight,” Ren Chi said, quickly re-fastening his belt with a headache. “What are you doing here?”
“N-nothing…” An Han was extremely nervous, but quickly raised his voice again. “He keeps saying I’m a girl!”
Teacher Chen still looked at him with doubt.
At most, he thought, this was just a slightly masculine-looking girl. In modern society, it’s becoming harder and harder to tell genders apart anyway.
But some important details couldn’t hide An Han’s real sex. So the teacher believed there was only one truth.
“Teacher Chen, this student of mine is male,” Ren Chi interrupted the teacher’s imagination. “He just looks a bit feminine. It’s normal for him to be in the boys’ restroom.”
“……”
“And also, Teacher Chen, you’re not allowed to smoke inside the teaching building.”
Smiling gently, Ren Chi picked up the cigarette butt from the floor and threw it into the trash. Then he put an arm around An Han’s shoulder and led him away.
Teacher Chen stared blankly at their backs, his eyes falling on An Han’s graceful silhouette and the small, lightly swaying hips as he walked.
This is a guy? Do you think I’ve never seen a man before?!
“What were you doing here if you don’t have class tonight?” Ren Chi kept his arm around him, smiling. “Doing something embarrassing in the restroom?”
“No way~”
An Han felt relieved after escaping the situation, and his voice instantly became lighter and happier.
“I was just trying on new clothes.”
“You need to come here to try on clothes?”
Ren Chi glanced at the package in An Han’s hands. He already understood, but didn’t ask further. Instead, he kindly reminded him.
“Put on your coat.”
“Oh… okay…”
An Han clumsily put on his coat.
Honestly, Ren Chi really couldn’t understand how An Han had a chest like that.
He had noticed it before, but he thought it was just fat. Now it looked more like a young girl entering puberty.
“You should get a health check when you have time.”
“I know.”
They reached the corner of the stairs on the second floor. Ren Chi stopped and looked toward a large classroom down the hallway.
“I still have a meeting. Go do your thing.”
“Thanks!” An Han waved at him and ran downstairs happily. “I’ll treat you to a meal next time!”
“No need. I still owe you one since you helped me move last time.”
Ren Chi smiled helplessly and waved back. This kid really showed every thought on his face, playful, lively, and cute.
