Chapter 397 – Damsel In Distress

My heart thumped and various news headlines flashed through my mind.

For example: “Trap joins anime expo and gets raped for 4 hours on his way home”, “Trap cosplayer gets raped by black man…”

In the end, all those news stories were proved to be fake news, but it does have a basis since so many believed it.

But it’s only been an hour since Shu Zhe left my house, and he asked me to repay him for psychological trauma, so I don’t think anyone raped him.

“Didn’t I tell you to take a cab home, so how did you meet a pervert? Or did you get on an unlicensed taxi?”

“I didn’t. Right before I got home, I called home to check and my sister was already home. So I got off nearby and wanted to get changed in the washroom of a public park…”

A trap changing inside the men’s washroom? You had the guts to walk into the men’s washroom while dressed as a girl? That’s treading dangerous grounds since there’s been a rise of perverts in public parks. Someone of them are older men who would hide behind trees and jack off to girls while some would dress as transsexuals to peek in the women’s washroom… A person like you who only has 1.6x the fighting power of Gong CaiCai stands no chance against any of those weirdos.

“No, I ran into female perverts…”

What? How do you meet female perverts dressed as a trap, were they lesbians? I’ve already lost all hope in this world that has no bottom line.

“I… was planning on changing in the women’s washroom. I would keep my wig on and I shouldn’t get recognized…”

Although it’s weird for men to use the women’s washroom, I feel like it would be weird if Shu Zhe didn’t use the women’s washroom.

“When I was outside hesitating, two female students with face masks walked out and blocked my way…”

“Face masks.” I suddenly remembered something, “Did their face masks have any unqiue traits?”

“It should be regular white face masks…. ah, I think there was a rose embroidered on the top right corner of the mask.”

As expected, they were from the rose group. How did these girls spot him through his disguise and realize he was a feast for their eyes.

“How did they tease you, did you get molested?”

“Why would they tease me…. they wanted to hit me….”

“Huh, why would they want to hit you?”

Shu Zhe lightly snorted in contempt, “The two of them didn’t have a good figure or a good appearance, so of course they wanted to hit me. They pushed me around while insulting me: You slut, did you dress like this to seduce men.”

So they mistook Shu Zhe as a competitor. Shu Zhe’s clothing today was considered everyday clothing, but his skirt was still really short. His two untrained legs revealed a lot of skin and was as flirty as it gets.

“The young girls nowadays are outrageous. They dress like this even at a young age, no wonder the headmaster checks into hotels with these girls.”

“That’s right. The boys all get seduced by their appearance, so they can’t find our inner beauty. It’s all because they look like vixens.”

“Tsk, she might be in middle school but might have already did it with so many guys that her underneath is already black.”

“How about let’s take a look.”

Shit, you can’t take it off or you guys would be delighted. I have no idea what ugly things the two of you will do to Shu Zhe even though you claim to have inner beauty.

Luckily the one who had a higher ranking said they weren’t interested.

“Who wants to look at dirty places? Let’s just rip off her skirt. If she likes letting men look, then she can head home in her underwear.”

That wouldn’t work either since Shu Zhe is wearing a spider web thong! Putting aside the fact if there will be a bulge showing or not, the underwear will definitely enrage those two ugly girls.

Shu Zhe went quiet, so I asked:

“What happened next, how did you escape?”

Shu Zhe replied bitterly: “I was saved by a loathsome person…”

Hey, they saved you, but you’re still calling them repulsive? Where are your manners?

“Was it a man or woman?”

“It was a guy in a taekwondo uniform. He was carrying a brick when he came to help, so the two girls knew they weren’t his opponent and fled…”

I heard taekwondo uniform and had a bad premonition.

“After chasing away those female gangsters, he tried to hit on me and he called himself Tang Jiang…”

I knew it was them, Tang Jiang is also known as peaked cap guy. As young master Xu’s underling, Tang Jiang once bullied Shu Zhe near the riverbank by the bridge.

“Bro Ye Lin, even though he wasn’t wearing a peaked cap, I clearly remember he was the bastard who kicked me, spat on me, threw cigarette butts at me, and wanted to toss me into the river.”

Shu Zhe clearly remembered everything Tang Jiang did to him being the petty person he is.

“Hmph, I could already tell what he wanted to do before he said anything. I know many more ways to pick up girls than him. I could tell he thought I was a girl and he wanted to hit on me.”

What a melodramatic development. Shu Zhe holds a grudge, so he wouldn’t thank you even if you saved him.

“Damn Tang Jiang even invited me for a meal when he heard my stomach growling. He even bragged about his friend being rich and owning martial arts studios…”

What clumsy pickup techniques. Why does it matter if you have a rich friend? Even if Shu Zhe was a girl, with how much of a gold digger he is, he would dump you and just chase after young master Xu.

“Tang Jiang was relentless and wouldn’t let me go without giving him my number. I didn’t have a choice so….”

So, you could only give him your number? Are you going to keep in touch with him? I wonder how Tang Jiang will react when he finds out that you’re actually a boy who he stepped on before.

“Um, I wanted to get away, so I could only give him your phone number…”

Shit, go die. What are you trying to achieve by giving him my number? Is he going to call soon and ask me out on a date?

I said angrily: “You still have the gall to ask for compensation?”

Shu Zhe stammered: “I may not have suffered any physical damage, but my mind was shocked. I had to call my sister to come pick me up, so I could sneak home…”

“Hide the outfit and don’t let your sister find out.”

I ordered and hung up.

Before I could even take a breath, I received a text from an unknown number:

“Hey beautiful, are you asleep? I can’t fall asleep because I’m thinking of you~”

Damn, it’s Tang Jiang. He already started to pester Shu Zhe so fast. Can you not write these sappy and sickening texts?

I thought about it for a while before blocking his number. That way he would know the girl he saved has zero interest in him so he wouldn’t develop any feelings.

After taking care of that matter, I walked to my room and listened for sounds. Su Qiao was still sleeping as I could hear faint breathing sounds.

It’s pretty hard when you have insomnia, so I’ll let her have a nice sleep at my house.

She has to head to the film grounds to film her last scene tomorrow, but it;s fine if she gets up early. I get up early every day, so I’ll make sure to wake her up.

My dad has a bed in his study and there’s also a double bed in the large bedroom, so I could sleep anywhere.

In the end, I chose the large bedroom since I could toss and turn all I want. I could also see the moon high in the sky if I don’t close the curtains, which helps with some of my deep thoughts.

I thought about how to improve my Yin Yang Sanshou, I thought about how to win the basketball tournament, I thought about how to help my dad chase Auntie Ren, I thought about how to make Xiao Qin my sister, and I thought about how to improve my reputation with the class leader…

I fell asleep without finding an answer to any of my problems.

I woke up some time in the middle of a night with a pitched tent between my legs.

I clumsily walked out to use the washroom. On my way back, I habitually walked back to my own bedroom.
