The surrounding area was already slowly filling with people posing for photos, leaving only a few, like the two of them, too shy to strike a pose.
“Wait… Mo Yidong, don’t tell me you’re going to do it too?”
Xia Yu nervously looked at Mo Yidong in front of him.
Even though Mo Yidong was dressed in women’s clothes and openly known as a Male Cross-dresser, Xia Yu no longer cared about that.
Mo Yidong’s cold hands gripped Xia Yu’s tightly, pulling them closer together.
Xia Yu instinctively wanted to take a few steps back but was held firmly by Mo Yidong, who remained completely calm and said casually,
“Let me make it clear first—I’m straight!”
“Me too.”
“But we’re not here for the event, right…”
Although Mo Yidong was clear about his sexual orientation, facing the gentle and charming cross-dressing Xia Yu, he purposely leaned his face closer, almost close enough to kiss, and whispered:
“Five o’clock direction, someone is watching this way.”
Xia Yu glanced toward the direction Mo Yidong mentioned.
Sure enough, the group from earlier was looking inside.
It seemed they had searched the entire mall building without finding anyone and had given up, leaving.
“Aren’t you pretty tough? What, you’re faking it?”
“No, I’m just not in the right state.”
Xia Yu’s body was undergoing strange changes, which partly affected his state.
Besides, he didn’t want to start a fight in front of Mo Yidong; he didn’t want to drag him into unnecessary trouble.
“Have you eaten?”
“Already.”
Right after Xia Yu said this, his uncooperative stomach grumbled between them.
“There are a lot of people here today; I didn’t eat much. Come eat with me for an extra meal, it’s on me.”
Xia Yu really wanted to refuse Mo Yidong’s invitation.
Looking at the plaza clock showing 9:30 PM, it seemed there was no time left for anything else tonight.
“I still have something to do later…”
As soon as Xia Yu said this, Mo Yidong’s grip on his hands tightened even more.
Even though the pose time was only ten seconds, Xia Yu didn’t know why this moment felt so long.
“What’s more important than being hungry?”
“Gotta redo my Racetype Certification…”
“Didn’t we agree that I’d go with you?”
Mo Yidong tilted his head to the side, leaned close to Xia Yu’s ear, and asked in a low, serious voice:
“Or… is there something you’re hiding from me?”
A chill blew into Xia Yu’s ear, making him shiver involuntarily.
Just as the ten-second countdown ended outside, Xia Yu hurriedly pushed Mo Yidong away, covering his slightly flushed ear, glaring angrily at the cold yet slightly authoritative Mo Yidong in front of him.
He didn’t look like a High School Student at all—more like a Rich Young Master.
Annoying and asking for a beating.
“No! Can you speak properly? Why are you still blowing on me? I can’t stand it!”
“You had something near your ear; I was just blowing it away for you.”
Xia Yu looked at Mo Yidong’s calm expression with half disbelief.
He really wanted to punch him.
No, since they met, he had wanted to hit him.
If he broke Mo Yidong’s face, many girls would pity him.
Xia Yu wouldn’t.
He’d think Mo Yidong deserved it.
“What are you standing there for? Let’s go change clothes.”
“Before changing clothes, let’s go get the award.”
Xia Yu saw Mo Yidong staring at the screen and looked up to see the photo chosen inside.
He immediately didn’t want to look.
A photo that was ambiguous yet intimate appeared to everyone, giving off the vibe of a high-society rich man forcibly falling for a cold and aloof older woman, eliciting awe from the crowd.
“Is that the prize?”
“It’s more about participation.”
Mo Yidong and Xia Yu approached the Organizer’s counter and each received a Trophy and a pair of Key and Lock Couple Keychains, one side a key, the other a lock, both made of 925 Silver.
“It’s all for you, I don’t want it.”
Xia Yu handed the lock to Mo Yidong, looking around to see the people chasing him were gone.
Now he just wanted to take off the outfit.
Finally finding the restroom direction, Xia Yu was about to leave when Mo Yidong, pocketing the prizes, casually asked:
“You’re going to wear this to the men’s restroom?”
Xia Yu looked down at his outfit.
“Yeah, it’s not great. But I don’t want to wear this to eat with you either.”
“Come on out. You can treat it as early practice.”
“Practice what?”
Xia Yu blinked, unable to understand what Mo Yidong meant.
Sometimes Mo Yidong really didn’t know if Xia Yu was genuinely forgetful or just pretending.
“Practice wearing women’s clothes to my Family Gathering on the weekend.”
Seeing Xia Yu’s dazed, thoughtful expression, Mo Yidong continued:
“As my Ex-girlfriend.”
The next second, Xia Yu’s expression said he wanted to kill him.
“Oh.”
If Mo Yidong hadn’t mentioned it, Xia Yu would have truly forgotten.
Now that their relationship was clear, Xia Yu remembered the promise he made to Mo Yidong before—he shouldn’t not go.
Xia Yu mumbled softly, “Fine, fine.”
“Besides, what if we run into those people again on the way? Might as well just wear it home.”
“True.”
Mo Yidong suddenly felt Xia Yu was easy to understand.
Walking beside him, helpless yet obedient, he reminded Mo Yidong of the little dog his family had when he was young.
After a short interaction, Mo Yidong found Xia Yu’s little thoughts hard to keep inside.
They arrived at River Beaver Hotpot. A waiter led them to a table.
“Aren’t you not into hot food? Besides, you can just eat something outside casually. Why come here for hotpot?”
“Even if it cools down, it’s the same. Outside is too hot. Plus, this place gives a student discount. It’s a good deal.”
Mo Yidong picked up a tablet and casually asked:
“Any dietary restrictions?”
“No.”
“Anything you want to eat?”
“No.”
“Nothing here then.”
“……”
Xia Yu glared at him, really wanting to finish quickly and leave.
He didn’t want to stay here a minute longer.
Sitting across from Mo Yidong, Xia Yu felt uneasy and annoyed, always waiting for the waiter to walk away before answering.
“If you go there dressed like this and don’t talk, my family will think my Ex-girlfriend is mute.”
Xia Yu said nothing the whole time, but Mo Yidong kept pushing him to speak, making Xia Yu frustrated and wanting to shut him up.
“Then what else am I supposed to say?”
“If my parents were sitting in front of you now, they’d ask, ‘How old is the little girl?’”
Little girl my foot!
Why so nosy?
So annoying.
Xia Yu was about to answer his age when Mo Yidong beat him to it:
“Don’t answer with your male voice, or you’ll be exposed.”
“Seventeen…”
Xia Yu tried to lower his voice, throat slightly constricted, making it very shy.
“Seventeen, huh? What month were you born?”
“November…”
Why so detailed?
Is he trying to read my fortune?
My fate’s definitely bad for your son!
If you were going to introduce a marriage match for your son, forget it!
Seeing Xia Yu hang his head and speak in a falsetto, Mo Yidong found it hilarious and wanted to tease him more.
“November, huh? My son was born in August, one year older than you.”
Xia Yu didn’t care how old Mo Yidong was.
Speaking in falsetto all the time was too weird.
He must have been crazy to agree to Mo Yidong’s strange request back then.
No, it was too embarrassing.
The more Xia Yu talked, the redder his ears got, and the more he felt he was being toyed with by Mo Yidong.
Seeing Mo Yidong’s feigned calmness and slight smirk, Xia Yu knew this guy was definitely playing with him.
Xia Yu gave in and admitted defeat.
He clenched his teeth secretly and glared coldly at Mo Yidong.
Not just dressing up as an Ex-girlfriend, not just a Male Cross-dresser, but a big cute girl.
Xia Yu clenched his fists, shoulders trembling slightly.
He was already cross-dressing.
If you like it that much, then enjoy it to the fullest!
