Chapter 301: Be Careful!
After they finished breakfast, it was only 7:40.
At this time, most students had already left their dorms and were moving toward the cafeteria or the teaching buildings. Looking across the school roads, you could see crowds of students heading to class.
An Han, Su Peng, and Long Xing walked into the teaching building.
At the same time, they happened to see Ren Chi coming out from the parking area on the other side, and the four of them ended up walking in the same hallway.
Ren Chi was still looking at his phone, but when he heard footsteps and looked up, the smile on his face instantly froze.
But very quickly, with his strong mental control, he adjusted his expression. He greeted them with the usual friendly smile he used when meeting students, and even though he was panicking inside, he kept his walking pace steady, pretending nothing was wrong.
Right beside him were An Han and Long Xing, the two people who had seen him in women’s clothing, and there was also Su Peng, who also seemed to know.
Ren Chi’s heartbeat slowly sped up, but he still forced himself to stay calm and act like everything was normal while talking to them.
“Did you eat breakfast? They’re stricter now, you can’t bring food into the classroom.”
“We already ate!”
Walking beside Su Peng, An Han stuck out her head to look at Ren Chi. She watched his expression carefully.
She had to admit, Ren Chi really did have the ability to be a counselor. Even now he didn’t show any emotion. There was absolutely no sign of panic on his face.
If she were in his situation, she would never be this calm.
Meanwhile, Long Xing was still thinking about his love life that ended before it even began. His expression was gloomy as he lowered his head, staring at his toes, drowning in the sadness of being destined to be single.
He really could not understand why his luck was so bad, as if heaven was targeting him. He only wanted a short-haired, flat-chested, cool and handsome girl as a girlfriend.
But three times! Three times the person who made his heart move turned out to be a crossdressing boy.
And An Han was the most guilty, she alone accounted for two out of the three.
As for the third time, he didn’t even see the person clearly and didn’t even know the person’s name.
“There’s a class meeting this evening. Don’t forget to join.”
Ren Chi’s voice pulled Long Xing a little bit out of his sadness. He turned his head, and without thinking, his eyes moved from Ren Chi’s shoes upward… all the way to his handsome and gentle face.
Ren Chi didn’t look feminine. He simply looked clean, youthful, and handsome. Even though he was almost thirty, he still had a student-like face. As a counselor, he was quite popular among the girls in his class.
And then, Long Xing slowly froze.
“We know. The class monitor told us in the group chat last night,” An Han said cheerfully. She then asked, “What’s the class meeting about?”
“An activity for ‘Civilized Dormitories’…”
“I don’t live in the dorm, though.”
Before he finished, An Han cut him off with a mutter. But when she looked up, she noticed Ren Chi’s face had suddenly gone stiff.
That’s when she realized—
Long Xing seemed to have focused all his attention on Ren Chi.
Oh no!
Usually, Ren Chi rarely appeared in front of students. Even when he did, he stood on the stage and spoke at a distance. He had never interacted closely with Long Xing.
But now, they were less than half a meter apart.
Would Long Xing notice something?!
An Han looked anxiously at Su Peng. Su Peng shrugged helplessly.
They had already done everything they could to cover for Ren Chi. They even had Wu Dongming act as a shield for an entire day.
This meeting between Long Xing and Ren Chi was purely an accident. There was no way to avoid it.
An Han could only think of a reason to separate Long Xing and Ren Chi before Long Xing noticed something strange.
“An Han!”
A girl’s voice suddenly appeared. An Han looked up and saw An Kexin standing in the hallway ahead. She looked pretty and lively, smiling as she greeted her.
“Do you need something?”
“Come with me for a moment.”
An Han worriedly turned back to look at Long Xing. The atmosphere between Long Xing and Ren Chi had become even more tense. Even someone as mentally strong as Ren Chi now looked pale and clearly panicked.
“You can go. We’re almost there anyway.”
With Su Peng’s reminder, An Han realized that Ren Chi’s office was just ahead.
She let out a small sigh of relief, then jogged toward An Kexin.
“What is it? Class is about to start.”
An Kexin looked at An Han with a very complicated expression. She looked her up and down, at her full female outfit, and finally her gaze stopped on An Han’s chest area, which looked round and full even under her winter clothes.
“You and Su Peng… you two really are boyfriend and girlfriend now, right?”
Her voice sounded pitiful, as if she was about to cry.
“This…” An Han froze for a moment. “Didn’t Su Peng tell you at the end of last semester?”
“……”
Back then, An Kexin still held on to a small, unrealistic hope. She thought, since An Han was a man, no matter how pretty she looked in women’s clothing, she was still male. So one day, she believed Su Peng and An Han would break up.
But now…
She lowered her eyes.
“Are you actually a girl?”
“This… well…”
An Han started to panic. She and An Kexin were pretty good friends, and now that she had been exposed, she was afraid she might lose another friend again.
“No wonder you went to buy sanitary pads that time,” An Kexin muttered softly.
“……”
An Han could only smile awkwardly. She nervously looked down the hallway and saw Su Peng walking away from Long Xing and Ren Chi and quickly striding toward her.
In less than two seconds, Su Peng had reached her side. The gentle smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold, protective look as he stood next to her, ready to face An Kexin together.
“What’s going on?” he whispered to An Han.
He thought An Han was being troubled by someone, and after seeing her awkward expression from far away, he rushed over to help.
“It’s the girl you attracted!” An Han hissed back at him.
“When did I—”
Seeing the couple quietly whispering to each other, standing so close, An Kexin took a deep breath and completely gave up.
Last semester, they clearly weren’t this intimate. Even though they were always together, they kept some distance and looked more like close friends or brothers.
But this semester, An Han openly dressed as a girl, and openly showed her closeness with Su Peng.
“Why did she leave?”
Hearing footsteps, Su Peng looked up and saw An Kexin’s figure quickly walking away.
He turned back to An Han. “What did Kexin say to you?”
An Han frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. After a moment, she glanced around at the students passing by on their way to class.
Many girls secretly glanced at Su Peng’s face as they walked by.
Suddenly, An Han grabbed Su Peng’s arm tightly and pulled him toward the classroom.
“Let’s go! Class time!”
She had to stay alert!
There would definitely be more girls who didn’t know the truth and would try to attract Su Peng!
No wonder her father used to complain that Su Peng was too handsome!
