Chapter 52: The Boy’s Confession and a Shocking Revelation

“Pew~”

“Actually… actually, I’m a boy.”

****

“Pew pew~”

“I’m a boy…”

****

“Pew pew pew~”

“A boy…”

****

“Pew pew pew pew…”

“Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy…”

****

‘Ugh…’

Xiao Xi, who had already fired ten shots and nearly emptied his water gun, finally… finally stopped after hearing the adorable “girl” Yuzu shyly utter such a statement.

All four individuals, both those in plain sight and those hidden, fell into a stunned silence. Yuzu was the first to regain his composure. He waved his hands frantically, lowering his head in a display of guilt, and quickly began to explain.

“I… I’m so sorry, President. Due to some family reasons, I’ve always attended school dressed as a girl. I… I didn’t want to say anything, but I couldn’t bring myself to deceive you, President. So… I apologize, I… I had no choice but to reveal it.”

“Ah…”

Nan Feng was utterly speechless, completely overwhelmed by the revelation. This wave of shock would surely resonate with him for an entire year. It was just… so incredibly awkward.

Yuzu is a boy. Yuzu is a boy. Yuzu is…

‘Ugh…’

‘Abba abba…’

‘Oh no, oh no, it seems the Student Council President has been shocked into a state of mental disarray!’

Xiao Xi and Mia, observing the situation from behind a tree, wore entirely different expressions. Xiao Xi was in a standard state of utter bewilderment. Mia, on the other hand, watched the scene unfold with a look of schadenfreude, even reaching into Xiao Xi’s pocket to pull out a handful of melon seeds, which she silently began to munch on.

‘Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much! The sound of you cracking melon seeds is far too obvious! Especially in this absurdly quiet environment! Can’t you be a little more discreet?!’

“Hmph, serves him right. Let that fellow offend me, hmph hmph. He’s getting his comeuppance now, isn’t he? He, a mere mortal, should now understand the immense power of a witch’s grudge~” Mia muttered under her breath.

Xiao Xi rolled his eyes at her. How could everything be her doing? She was truly shameless, always claiming credit.

“But… it’s so unbelievable. That adorable child is actually a boy? How terrifying~” Mia continued, still cracking melon seeds as she spoke.

However… Xiao Xi actually agreed with her. He turned his head, scrutinizing the adorable Yuzu-chan once more. ‘Hmm…’

‘This, this is actually a boy!’

‘Looks like I’ve encountered a fellow traveler.’

Xiao Xi’s brow furrowed.

‘This guy… he’s so strange. Why would he wear girl’s clothes to school? I don’t even have that kind of courage. Could it be… could it be…’

‘He’s also being coerced by some perverted, sadistic older sister? The kind who loves dressing up cute boys in all sorts of strange outfits and then pushing them down?’

‘Cough, cough, no, no, no…’

‘That’s impossible, right?’

‘Or… or maybe not. After all, I’m an example myself. Perhaps all the perverted older sisters in the world are cut from the same cloth?’

‘But he just mentioned that the reason for his cross-dressing was a family issue, didn’t he?’

‘Hmm…’

‘What could it be?’

Just as Xiao Xi was deep in thought, the other two spoke again.

First was Nan Feng, who had finally recovered. He lowered his head, a little embarrassed, and managed to ask, “Why… why do you wear girl’s clothes to school?”

Clearly, he wasn’t quite ready to give up, and… perhaps he wanted to save some face. After all… the situation was far too awkward.

If he were to confess to an adorable boy, mistaking him for a beautiful girl one day, it would probably… be a little awkward~.

In any case, this situation was slightly less than optimistic.

Yuzu bowed his head, looking very sad, and then replied, “It’s… it’s all because I have an older sister who’s my childhood friend. She has something on me, and she’s especially fond of this. And… and she’s also been cultivating my interest in handsome boys.”

****

“Holy hell! What a perverted woman!” Mia couldn’t help but exclaim from the side.

‘Ah, no… you even replaced “Holy hell” with “Holy hell” in your own unique way? How meticulous…’

‘However…’

“Indeed!” Xiao Xi nodded. This woman was truly too perverted. Not only did she make Yuzu wear girl’s clothes, but she also made him wear them to school, pretend to be a girl, and… and even encouraged him to be gay!

‘Hoo~ hoo~’

‘Thinking about it this way, Sister Yuan is truly the best~’

****

‘Wait a minute…’

‘This all seems like a cultivation game, doesn’t it? It’s just that one older sister loves BL, and the other might love a woman on top of a man?’

‘There’s no fundamental difference!’

****

‘Lost in thought…’

“Then… then you mean… you would like boys… right?”

Nan Feng posed a question that made Xiao Xi’s heart stop.

****

‘Ah, this…’

‘What were you thinking, asking a question like that? You’re not… going to be gay too, are you?’

‘This, this, this… what is this? True love is priceless, transcending gender? I love you for who you are, not your gender; whether you’re a boy or a girl, I’ll like you?’

‘How touching…’

‘Not really!’

‘This isn’t right, Student Council President. You can’t just hang yourself on one tree, can you? I admit Yuzu-chan is very cute, but aren’t girls lovely too? Why don’t you look at your Vice President? My Chick-chan is still waiting foolishly for you to confess to them!’

‘Heh, now that I think about it, Chick-chan, you… you’re too much. If we can’t compete with girls, fine, Yuzu-chan is indeed cute. But now you can’t even compete with a boy? What… what can I even say? I can’t hold it in anymore…’

“Holy hell, this is the rhythm for another confession, isn’t it~ Xiao Xi, wanna bet? I bet he’ll definitely accept this confession.”

“It can’t be…” Although Xiao Xi said this, he was actually a bit uncertain. Could it be… could it be that cute boys like him and Yuzu-chan, once targeted by a perverted older sister, are destined to be utterly obedient and have their lives manipulated?

‘No way, Yuzu-chan, you can’t be like this! You’re a boy!’

‘Be manly!’

Yuzu’s face was as red as an apple. He understood the President’s meaning. Lowering his head, he said, very embarrassed, “I… although I do feel a little moved by the President, but… it’s still not possible. We are both boys…”

Nan Feng: “It’s okay! I truly like Yuzu-chan. Being a boy isn’t a problem!”

‘Help me, everyone here is a homos-!’

****

Xiao Xi fell silent for a moment, seeing that Yuzu-chan hadn’t reacted for a long time. ‘Hmm…’

‘He still seems quite conflicted. Forget it, no need to struggle. Good sister—ah, no, good brother—let me put an end to all this awkwardness for you!’

‘I’ll use the last bit of my water to wake up this Student Council President. It’ll also be revenge for my Chick-chan!’

“Pew~”

****

“It’s still not possible after all…” Yuzu-chan sighed, looking up, wanting to see the other person’s reaction. “Eh… President… why are you… why are you sweating? Oh! So much sweat, a dozen streams! You should wipe it off…”

Yuzu-chan reached out to wipe the water from the President’s face, but the President caught his hand. Nan Feng silently wiped the water from his own face. ‘Hmm…’

“Pfft, this wave, this wave is called, ‘Oh, it’s raining, I thought you were just leaving me speechless~’” Mia scoffed from the side.

!

Before Mia could finish, Nan Feng suddenly frowned. With a swift stride, why was he charging towards their hiding spot?!
