Chapter 47: You Really Think You’re Li Shiya?
“Old Mo, I want to eat fish.”
At the back gate of the school, Sichuan Girl, dressed in a floral skirt with a peach-like face, followed behind him and spoke softly.
If one hadn’t heard her speak, who would believe this was a guy?
Lin Mo even had the urge to poison him mute and sell him off to Chengdu—he would definitely make a fortune.
“Get lost, what are you acting like Gao Qiqiang for? Just now I told you to speak, you pretended to be mute. Now you’re talking nonsense!”
Lin Mo shot Sichuan Girl a glare, instantly fuming. It was all because he had refused to speak, which left Lin Mo in such an awkward position when facing the Dormitory Supervisor Auntie.
He couldn’t exactly strip him down right in front of the Dormitory Supervisor Auntie, could he? Even if it were possible, she wouldn’t just stand by. If she called the police and had him arrested, then things would really spiral out of control.
Fortunately, the law stated that forcing a man wasn’t considered a crime. Otherwise, just one statement from someone—even without any evidence—could have sent him behind bars for two or three years. The thought itself was terrifying.
“Nonsense, even if you beat me to death I couldn’t have spoken back then. Wouldn’t that have been pure social death?” Sichuan Girl replied with an expression that said it was only natural.
Hearing this, Lin Mo sneered coldly: “Afraid of social death? And yet you still dared to come out dressed like this?”
“You don’t understand, do you? Now that you’re by my side, as long as I don’t open my mouth, who can tell? This is called the blind spot under the lamp, understand the value of this outfit?
Besides, you think I wanted to come out like this? You don’t know how troublesome makeup and removal are. I still have to livestream tonight!”
Although Li Chuan used the online alias Li Shiya, whose looks could instantly crush the majority of female peers online, his mindset was still that of a guy.
Makeup was for work, but not for the sake of makeup itself. And makeup was far too troublesome. Putting it on and taking it off wasted time and effort.
Now, this was much better. With someone by his side, as long as he didn’t go to the bathroom, he could do everything conveniently while outside.
“You’re livestreaming tonight?” Lin Mo asked in shock.
“Of course. Anyway, both you and Director Wang already know. Since that’s the case, I won’t pretend anymore. I’ll do my streams and earn my money.
And I noticed that ever since you came back and I ended my stream abruptly, my followers skyrocketed at lightning speed. I have to strike while the iron is hot!”
At this moment, Sichuan Girl’s face no longer carried the initial flustered shame, but instead brimmed with delight at the sudden surge of followers.
Just one accidental livestream exposure had brought in traffic faster than all his previous hard work.
He had built his account step by step. Unlike Zhang Wei’s, which had been pumped with one hundred thousand Dou+ promotion, his growth now was pure, live traffic—and he had to seize it.
Lin Mo could only shake his head helplessly. He felt that after Sichuan Girl was discovered by him and Director Wang, he had started letting himself go, becoming more and more twisted.
“Hey, by the way, is your hair real? Did it really grow this fast?” Lin Mo scanned him up and down, finally asking the question he had been holding back.
After all, Li Chuan’s hair had already been fairly long before. Now that they had gone out for internships and a whole summer vacation had passed, the timeline almost made sense.
“How could it grow that fast? This is a wig I spent a fortune on. My real hair still needs to grow. This place’s fish is pretty good. Hurry up—once we go inside, I won’t say a word.” Sichuan Girl pointed at a Sichuan restaurant as he spoke.
This was one of the few restaurants still open near the school back gate. The taste could only be described as average, but at this point there wasn’t much to pick from.
Restaurants around campus generally opened along with the school schedule, and it would take at least another day or two before more shops reopened.
Lin Mo didn’t argue. He was hungry too. He had skipped breakfast, then fought a battle with Sichuan Girl after returning. Now he felt he could devour an entire fish by himself, with three bowls of rice to go with it.
The restaurant wasn’t busy. Even though it was mealtime, including them there were only two tables of customers.
“Hello, what would you like? Our restaurant just launched a couple’s set meal—affordable and practical. Would you two like to try it?”
The moment they walked in, a staff member came to greet them.
Looking at the pair, they clearly seemed like a young couple, so naturally the staff recommended the set meal.
After hearing Liu Rushuang’s suggestion, Lin Mo was now wearing a black shirt, its collar unbuttoned at the top two buttons. Together with the recent changes to his face, he stood out wherever he went.
Li Chuan was even more striking. Standing just over 1.7 meters tall, though short among men, he was tall among women. With his long legs, floral dress, and white sneakers, he looked like a goddess stepping straight out of fantasy.
When the two stood together, who wouldn’t call them a perfect match?
But hearing the staff’s words made Lin Mo bristle.
“À la carte, it must be à la carte. Otherwise people will think I can’t afford it. Double the order, one portion each!”
Waiter: …
Was this guy stupid? Refusing to save money, insisting on spending more. What a waste of such a handsome face.
So, despite looking like a “young couple,” they ended up ordering several signature dishes separately. During the meal, they didn’t exchange a single word. Especially the boy—every time he glanced at the “girl,” he looked as if he were grinding his teeth at an enemy.
Lin Mo devoured his food ravenously. He was truly starving. Not only did he gulp down three bowls of rice, but he also snatched a bottle of soda.
By contrast, Sichuan Girl ate with elegance, carefully watching her lip gloss at all times, yet not missing a single bite of food.
After the meal, Lin Mo patted his stomach in satisfaction, while Sichuan Girl gracefully dabbed her lips with a napkin, always keeping in mind his identity as Li Shiya.
“Pretentious.”
Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him, then got up to leave.
“Sir, that’ll be 165 in total.” The cashier addressed him directly, not even glancing at Sichuan Girl.
After all, when couples went out to eat, how many girls ever paid?
Lin Mo instantly felt the disparity of the world. Prejudice in people’s hearts was a towering mountain.
But choosing to avoid unnecessary trouble, he paid up without fuss. Anyway, in their dorm they always split the bill evenly.
Leaving the restaurant, Sichuan Girl’s eyes darted around mischievously, his expression brimming with smugness.
Who said crossdressing was perverted? Crossdressing was great!
The two walked toward campus. Near the gate, however, was a candied hawthorn stall.
Sichuan Girl ran up to it, pointed at the skewers, and stared at Lin Mo without saying a word.
Lin Mo’s eyes widened. “Damn it, again?”
“I don’t care. If you want me to eat, you buy it yourself.” Saying this, Lin Mo turned to leave.
But before he could take two steps, the vendor spoke up:
“Young man, don’t be so clueless. Hurry and buy one for your girl to cheer her up. Such a sweet little lady!”
Lin Mo turned back and saw Sichuan Girl squatting by the stall, holding his head with both hands.
Lin Mo: …
“Fine~ you win!”
Under the vendor’s judging gaze and the stares of passing pedestrians, Lin Mo reluctantly paid, then grabbed Sichuan Girl and sprinted all the way back to the dorm.
“Talk!”
“You messing with me? Answer me!”
Lin Mo locked the door, gripping Sichuan Girl’s neck as he yelled, terrified the Dormitory Supervisor Auntie might appear again.
“If I talk outside, how will I face my ancestors underground?”
Hearing this, Lin Mo flung his hand away. “Cut the crap! You really think you’re Li Shiya now? Just because you say a few words outside means you can’t face your ancestors?
Everyone in our dorm knows the truth. Going down there, you think you’ll be greeted as some ancestor’s descendant? Even if you welded makeup onto your face, no one would believe you’re actually a girl!
And now you’re pulling this act on me again—me being ‘unromantic,’ me having to coax my ‘girlfriend’?
That skirt—wear it to the end, don’t ever take it off!”
Sichuan Girl: …
