Page Thirty-Two: Do You Want to Go to the Girls’ School?

“Go ahead and open it?”

I immediately became alert, suspecting that this girl was probably going to trick me again.

“A gift? What kind of gift?”

The gray plastic bag was tightly sealed, and the contents inside were soft. I simply tore the bag open with brute force.

A piece of red and black checkered fabric peeked out from the tear. I pulled it out and realized it was a girls’ school uniform skirt. There was also a white shirt, a blazer, and even a pair of black thigh-high socks.

Looking at the set of the girls’ school uniform on the table, I roughly guessed what Lǐn Huā meant.

But I still asked knowingly:

“What is this supposed to mean?”

“Kǎi-Chan has a female ID card, right? I took photos of her ID when you were changing clothes. Then I used those photos to get your records in order at the girls’ school.”

This efficiency is truly shocking. Could they really fabricate an entire personal file in just one day?

“What next?” I continued to play dumb.

“After your leg fracture, you could also become a girl, couldn’t you?”

“So what?”

“Come to the girls’ school with me! Just as a visit!”

“No.” I replied immediately.

“Why not? Look, I’ve even taken care of your identity. All you have to do is wear the uniform and report for registration! There’s no harm in it, right?”

Lǐn Huā then pulled out a student ID from behind her back. The hardcover had the school emblem and name embossed in gold.

She flipped open the student ID and placed it on the table. It not only had the name “Cháng Língmèng,” but also my photo. The class was the same as the boys’ school, still 2-B.

Lǐn Huā’s proposal was quite tempting. If this had happened last semester, maybe I would have gone to take a look.

But what kind of hellhole is this year’s girls’ school?

There’s the “Campus Iron Fist Idol,” the “Empress Student Council President,” and Lǐn Huā, this sly little fox. At this level of difficulty, even if they gave me a hundred resurrection coins, I’d still die in there.

“No, if I get recognized, I’ll be in big trouble.”

After all, Lǐn Huā blinked twice and basically guessed what I was worried about.

“Oh, Kǎi-Chan, you’re worried that Sister Miāomiāo might find out about you becoming a girl, right? That’s just overthinking—”

She paused, and her lips curved upward.

“—because I told her about it the day before yesterday!”

“What!” I was startled by this news and said angrily, “Wait, how could you just casually spread this around?”

“Don’t blame us, Kǎi-Chan. Think about it, how many times have you lied to us? As victims, isn’t it reasonable to create a discussion group to prevent being tricked?”

Sister Fēi picked up her phone and shook it, saying, “Sorry, Xiǎo Kǎi, I’m in the discussion group too.”

Sister Qiàn must be in it as well.

“You’re treating us like thieves! Calling us victims is too much. When have I ever done anything to hurt you?”

I was quite angry, but besides venting, I didn’t know what else to do. Besides, Lǐn Huā has a thick skin, and my feeble complaints wouldn’t get through to her.

“But what about Xiǎo Hǎi Táng? She recognizes my face and doesn’t know anything about the Beautiful Girl Goddess Cult.”

Lǐn Huā retorted, “Are you sure she knows nothing, Kǎi-Chan?”

“I told her about turning myself into a girl, of course, but I didn’t mention you or the Divine Messenger. Her reaction was surprisingly calm. She wasn’t surprised at all and even asked if I wanted to join the student council.”

I felt cold sweat, could Xiǎo Cāngyǔ have given that recording to Xiǎo Hǎi Táng?

“In fact, you don’t need to worry about the Student Council President. The high school floors are different. If we run into each other, we can always say you’re wearing breast forms and women’s clothing.”

“No, that would still ruin everything!”

“Do you really not want to consider it?”

“Not really.” I shook my head.

“Once you turn into a girl, you won’t need to use a wheelchair anymore.”

I kept shaking my head, “The wheelchair is comfortable, and someone can push it.”

“The girls’ school has air conditioning in every teaching building, cafeteria provides self-service lunches, and there are only three classes in the afternoon. I have a bigger secret base too.”

Even though Lǐn Huā was talking enthusiastically, I remained unmoved.

“Really, I wouldn’t hurt you!”

Seeing me hesitate, she finally gave up, throwing the student ID at me and sighing, “I just want to go to school together with you. Why are you so stubborn? Take the student ID and the uniform, maybe you’ll need them someday.”

“Coffee with two lattes, please enjoy.”

Just as the waiter brought the coffee, to avoid misunderstanding, I quickly put away the uniform and changed the topic, “Let’s talk about this after Fēi Jiě’s matter is settled.”

Fēi Jiě’s matter naturally referred to meeting her daughter this Sunday.

As soon as I mentioned this, Fēi Jiě’s expression turned heavy, just like the bitter coffee.

Feeling I had said something wrong, I quickly comforted her, “Fēi Jiě, you don’t need to take children’s words too seriously. She might not really mean it when she says she dislikes her father. Thirteen-year-olds are often rebellious, and they like to negate everything to show their independence.”

There are many forms of rebellion during childhood, such as the otaku behavior of Sister Fēiyuè. That’s also a form of rebellion. Once the otaku phase is over, the rebellious period will pass—just like I went through it.

“She likes that teddy bear, she likes ‘Huángfǔ Fēi,’ and she likes Huā Yíng. But she hates her father and hates ‘Féng Jǐngshèng.’ Is this rebellion?”

Fēi Jiě whispered softly, her voice barely audible.

Lǐn Huā frowned and glared at me. She had intentionally avoided bringing up Fēi Jiě’s pain, but I ended up mentioning it.

To change the subject, I chatted with Lǐn Huā about everyday topics, trying to distract Fēi Jiě, but it didn’t work very well. We finished our coffee in a somber atmosphere.

As the sky darkened, pedestrians hurried past outside. Fēi Jiě had to go home to cook dinner, and I was sent back by Lǐn Huā’s teasing.

I returned home relatively early today, and Miss Wū hadn’t left yet, so we ate dinner together.

Dad trusted Wū Qínglán more and even gave her a spare key to the house.

Wū Qínglán hadn’t come up with any strange treatment plans recently. Perhaps she intended to build up goodwill and rely on it to offset her fear of women. In other words, she considered herself the last resort.

That was a bold gamble. If it succeeded, she would become my stepmother by right. If it failed, there would be no chance of redemption.

I wanted to find my biological mother, but I couldn’t dislike Wū Qínglán either. Was I supposed to let Dad start a harem?

With Wū Qínglán gone, the house returned to its usual quietness. Dad and I rarely talked; he got nervous when he sat in front of me, making communication difficult. Thinking about it, Wū Qínglán’s personality would be suitable for improving the atmosphere at home…

It was already half-past seven when I returned to my bedroom. The little girl from the Zhu family next door didn’t come, but I received a call from Xiǎo Lěi.

“Chairman, we bought the clothes. The senior student just entered the restroom. You can transform her back now.”

“Do you need to transform back yourself?”

“I’ll come to your place later. Do you want the senior student to know I’m Zhao Zhào? Silly!”

I was stunned, indeed I had been foolish.

I erased “Lǐ Jiànlián’s” name and hung up after confirming everything was fine.

Then, I buried myself in writing my homework. Yes, I, the protagonist, needed to do homework.

But I was distracted by the gray plastic package next to me. The uniform had a mysterious allure, making me unable to focus on studying.

I opened my notebook and took out the bookmark.

While writing my name, I justified my curiosity: “Just try it on, satisfy my curiosity. This is also for better learning.”

Yes, this was all for learning! Such a noble reason! It wasn’t because I wanted to see myself in a school uniform…

Indeed, once you start wearing women’s clothing, you’ll do it again and again, and eventually, it will become routine.
