Chapter 13: The Embarrassing Revelation and a Mysterious Plan

‘Oh, this…’

Gao Meiyou glanced at Shi Meng, who seemed poised to become a spokesperson for Sinopec. Then, she slowly turned her head, her gaze falling upon the “girl” pinned beneath her.

‘Brother?’

‘Sister?’

A sharp intake of breath escaped her lips.

‘This child… could it be Xiao Xi?’

‘The handsome boy from yesterday?’

‘She had actually tackled a boy to the ground, and then, to make matters worse, she’d declared her intention to protect him?’

‘How was this any different from those perverted older sisters?’

A sudden cough broke the silence.

The realization struck Gao Meiyou, and she immediately sprang to her feet. She then stood by, observing Xiao Xi on the ground with an intense, almost forceful gaze.

‘Oh, so first you tackled him, and now you’re playing ‘leave him be,’ huh? Xiao Xi is already quite reluctant to get up from the ground. This is truly a bit much…’

‘But, uh—’

“Senior Sister…” Xiao Xi, though unwilling, pushed himself up. He stammered, “Excuse me, I’m Xiao Xi. We just met yesterday. That… well… that’s how it is. Shi Meng brought me in.”

“So it’s Xiao Xi, hahaha…” Gao Meiyou let out two strained laughs, then averted her gaze. ‘Ah, judging by her reaction, it seems she hadn’t recognized him at all until just now…’

Xiao Xi was utterly bewildered. What exactly had she been rambling about moments ago?

“Senior Sister, don’t tell me you…”

“Hahaha—I was just trying to remind you, Xiao Xi, about… you know, how important it is for us to have the courage and resolve to resist domestic violence.”

“You didn’t mistake me for… a burglar who broke in, coerced by a criminal gang, did you?”

“Hahaha, how could that be? You adorable girl… ah, no, boy. How could someone like you be a thief? If someone as sweet as you were coerced by a criminal gang, you’d have been sold to a remote mountain village to be a…”

The Senior Sister abruptly stopped speaking. She paused, considering if the rest of her thought might not quite align with socialist core values. ‘Hmm, it’s definitely better left unsaid, so as not to corrupt the innocent mind of such a cute Xiao Xi.’

‘Hmm…’

Xiao Xi sensed his Senior Sister was simply spouting nonsense. Exposed by Xiao Xi’s suspicious gaze, the Senior Sister nervously began to whistle, clearly attempting to divert his attention.

Silence descended upon the scene once more. Shi Meng quietly wiped the spilled soy milk from the floor with a tissue, then settled onto the sofa, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

“So there was just a misunderstanding between Big Brother and Senior Sister, huh? You scared me! I truly thought you two were…”

“Cough, cough, speaking of which…” Gao Meiyou quickly changed the subject. Her eyebrow arched as she suddenly eyed the fidgeting Xiao Xi with renewed interest. She lifted her teacup, taking a delicate sip. ‘Mmm, today’s tea is exceptionally sweet…’

“You’re truly adorable, Xiao Xi, wearing such cute clothes. Are you perhaps aspiring to become a girl?”

“Don’t tease me, Senior Sister…” Xiao Xi was profoundly embarrassed by the compliment. While it was debatable whether the Senior Sister’s words were truly praise, Xiao Xi still felt an overwhelming sense of shame at being scrutinized while dressed in women’s attire.

‘Ultimately, he shouldn’t have worn such clothes. Even if they looked good, wouldn’t people question his gender identity?’

“It’s all Sister’s fault! She forced me into this!” Xiao Xi wailed, burying his face in his hands.

‘So that’s what Xiao Xi meant just now?’ Gao Meiyou couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “My, you’re so utterly adorable like this, I almost don’t want you to change back.”

“No, no, no, please, I absolutely must change back!” Xiao Xi shook his head frantically. Even Shi Meng chimed in, “That’s right, that’s right! If Big Brother doesn’t change back, Sister will keep teasing him incessantly…”

“Mhm…” The Senior Sister nodded with an air of confidence. “Actually, I’ve already devised a plan to deal with that Shi Yuan, guaranteeing that you, Junior Brother, will be able to escape your Sister Yuan’s clutches in the future.”

Upon hearing this news, both Xiao Xi and Shi Meng excitedly sprang to their feet. Gao Meiyou abruptly “hit the brakes,” an action so sudden it nearly caused Xiao Xi’s lumbar disc to herniate. The Senior Sister stood there, a smug, triumphant smile playing on her lips, confidently pointing at Xiao Xi’s face, yet she remained utterly silent, frozen in place…

Frightened, Xiao Xi nearly thought Sister had teleported directly behind him. He quickly glanced back, only to see a plain white wall. Why had the Senior Sister suddenly fallen silent?

After a prolonged moment, the Senior Sister chuckled mischievously. “Hehe, just building a little suspense~”

‘Damn it, I almost want to hit someone right now.’

Xiao Xi was left speechless. Gao Meiyou patted his shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I genuinely have thought of a solution. I just need to tell you tonight. For now… let’s go together and rescue that little kitten trapped on the roof~”

‘Had she truly not forgotten about that kitten? His own situation was clearly far more perilous, wasn’t it? The kitten, at the very least, had someone feeding it and an entire rooftop as its playground. If Xiao Xi remained home much longer…’

Xiao Xi feared his future living space would be confined solely to his bed, and even then, Sister would impose further restrictions on his movements. As for food… Xiao Xi dared not even imagine. ‘Sister was becoming increasingly perverted; wasn’t anyone going to rein her in?’

A deep sigh escaped him.

‘But what kind of bizarre plan absolutely had to be discussed at night?’

‘Could it truly be a ‘ghost plan’?’

‘Was the Senior Sister planning to summon heroic spirits on the empty school rooftop? And as for holy relics, could she perhaps prepare an Excalibur for him?’

‘Could Saber defeat Sister? Could an Excalibur blast Sister into an innocent, sweet girl? If not, could it please apply more force?’

Cough, cough…

His thoughts had strayed far too wildly. Xiao Xi refocused, ultimately deciding it was best to first help the Senior Sister with her task. After all, she had already agreed to assist him, and besides, rescuing the kitten was Shi Meng’s request to the Senior Sister; it wouldn’t be right for him not to accompany them.

Xiao Xi nodded, and Gao Meiyou, thoroughly pleased, stood up and pulled open the door, ready to charge out. ‘Wait a minute!’ Suddenly remembering the two “cute bugs” behind her, the Senior Sister turned, blinked, and urged, “Let’s go!”

Facing the Senior Sister’s eager urging, Xiao Xi was about to move when he suddenly remembered he was still clad in women’s clothing. ‘Strolling around school like this, flaunting it? Please, spare him the humiliation.’

Xiao Xi turned to Shi Meng, a plea in his eyes. “Did you bring my school uniform?”

Shi Meng nodded, retrieving Xiao Xi’s school uniform from her bag and handing it over. Xiao Xi looked around, surprised to discover the place actually had a small, private bathroom. He slipped inside, preparing to change out of the women’s clothes.

“Oh, my, my~” The Senior Sister sighed dramatically. “Young people nowadays are truly so troublesome. What’s the big deal about going out in women’s clothes?”

“It’s impossible… I’d die of sheer mortification, Senior Sister…”

“Tsk, tsk~” The Senior Sister walked over to the bathroom door, playfully asking, “Can I come in and take a peek?”

“Absolutely not!”

“Hmph—” The Senior Sister covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. Shi Meng, standing by, watched the Senior Sister with utter helplessness. ‘Ah, why did Senior Sister feel so… similar to Sister Yuan in certain aspects?’

“Oh! Big Brother!”

Shi Meng suddenly remembered something and shouted towards the person in the bathroom, “Remember to remove your makeup, otherwise, even in your school uniform, you’ll still be mistaken for a girl!”

“Wuwu—Saying that just makes me even sadder…”

Inside the bathroom, Xiao Xi sadly slid to his knees on the floor. ‘Why… why couldn’t he be a bit more masculine?’

‘Damn it!’
