Chapter 510: Temporary Girlfriend

There happened to be a physical education class the next day. When Xiao Qin once again said she didn’t want to participate because she was frail, the class leader, who knew the truth, stood right next to her and simply listened as Xiong YaoYue’s agreed to Xiao Qin’s request.

“Did you say anything to the class leader?” I asked Xiao Qin, who was fiddling with cross-stitching.

“Nothing much.” Xiao Qin shrugged as she compared her cross stitch to the example illustration, “I told the class leader I have a severe case of androphobia. If I get threatened by boys, I won’t be able to stop myself from going crazy and beating them up, and that’s why I don’t attend gym class with boys. Otherwise, what would happen if I black out and go berserk when I’m hit by basketball they threw. It would be embarrassing for me and it would be awful for class spirit.”

There were truths mixed with her lies, so there was no reason for the class leader to not believe her. But actually Xiao Qin’s androphobia isn’t that severe and there’s no way she would go crazy from only being hit by a ball. Just yesterday, didn’t she stuff an Ultraman model into Zhao GuangTou’s pocket?

Although Xiao Qin once again enjoyed some beneficial treatments, but after knowing the truth, the class leader no longer treated her as a spoiled younger sister.

On rare occasions, the class leader would ask Xiao Qin to go with her to the offices to grab tools. When she was too busy, she would also ask Xiao Qin to run some errands, kind of treating Xiao Qin as the second Xiong YaoYue.

“Class leader, I can go and buy ice cream for the entire class, there’s no need to let Xiao Qin go.”

Loud Mouth objected to the class leader’s order, while Xiao Qin hid behind Loud Mouth.

The class leader smiled and said, “You walk slow, if I left it to you, the ice cream will melt halfway, plus you have a habit of eating while you walk…”

“But Xiao Qin is frail and sickly.” Loud Mouth insisted.

The class leader glanced at Xiao Qin as if she was asking with her eyes “is that so?”. Xiao Qin, who felt guilty, could only go and run the errand.

“After the supporting character caught onto my weakness, she’s ordering me around every day.” Xiao Qin complained to me after she bought the ice cream, “She’s awful.”

Although that’s what she said, it doesn’t seem like she’s harboring any resentment towards the class leader. It could be because the class leader chose to save Xiao Qin rather than protect herself, so now Xiao Qin feels like she owes the class leader.

But in fact, it was Xiao Qin who protected the class leader from those four hooligans, but Xiao Qin didn’t have any intention of taking the credit. Perhaps it came naturally to her and Xiao Qin never even thought of leaving the class leader behind.

It seems Xiao Qin’s bad intentions are only up to the level of “mischievous pranks”. At least for those who we study and interact with every day, she won’t abandon them when they are in danger.

I felt gratified since I was used to always seeing people fight. A pure friendship is a better way to heal people’s hearts.

The class leader had put a lot of thought into it, and the other reason she asked Xiao Qin to run errands was the same as why she made Gong CaiCai to be a class committee member.

It’s a rare opportunity for a transfer student to gain popularity by buying ice cream for the class on a hot day. The class leader wanted Xiao Qin to slowly integrate into the class and eventually she wouldn’t be afraid of boys anymore.

It’s just that Xiao Qin won’t understand the class leader’s painstaking efforts.

The fact that Xiao Qin knew martial arts was a secret between the three of us. As for when the class leader and Xiao Qin would communicate with each other with their eyes at certain times, everyone had their own interpretations.

Some people said Xiao Qin stole the class leader’s limelight in the volleyball match, so the class leader was getting revenge, but these people clearly don’t really understand the class leader.

Some people said that Xiao Qin’s body wasn’t weak, but in order to continue to skip physical education classes, she made a deal to always listen to the class leader’s orders. This statement was closer to the truth.

The most outrageous explanation, surprisingly, was uttered by the timid Gong CaiCai.

Once, when we were cleaning the class, I was assigned task of fetching the water for the girls to clean the windows. While I was carrying a bucket of water back, Gong CaiCai carefully asked:

“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, did… did the class leader give you up to Xiao Qin?”

I was shocked, looked around to see if anyone was around me and asked in a hurry, “Why would you say that?”

Gong CaiCai lowered her head and stammered:

“Because… Winnie told me you went to the zoo with Xiao Qin on the weekend, and Xiao Qin has always been ordered around by the class leader recently… so I could only guess if the two of them reached an agreement in private…”

They did have an agreement, but it had nothing to do with me! I think you watched way too many Korean dramas, all you saw was me kissing the class leader, then kissing Xiao Qin. You don’t have to keep adding on different layers with your imagination, Loud Mouth and Little Smart must be a bad influence on you, that’s why you’re so nosy now.

Friday came in a flash. Xiao Ding called and nervously asked if I was able to find a temporary girlfriend for him.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements.”

I responded with a very “dependable” voice.

“Ah, then I’m very thankful.” Xiao Ding expressed his thanks. He was never that polite before, but I guess the fight between LOL and dota was that important to him.

“But there’s something I must tell you in advance. The girls in our class are all a bit shy and none of them is willing to pretend to be your girlfriend. But it wasn’t really a huge problem, I made a snap decision and found you a man…”

Xiao Ding immediately choked on his words.

“Wha-, what did you say? I trusted you and you found me a man? The LOL faction already ridiculed us dota faction members for having no girlfriends, only gay friends. Wouldn’t this only validate their words?”

“Calm down for a bit.” I let Xiao Ding calm down, “I might have found you a man, but he’s not a man like you and me. He’s a cross dresser, you’ve probably heard of them before. As long as they look good and can bring you into the spotlight, who cares if they are a man or a woman.”

Xiao Ding said skeptically, “You better not be making it sound good, but actually deliver a trash product. If it was someone like Ru Hua, I might as well bring a real man. You better not con me, if the cross dresser isn’t up to par, I.. I might as well bring you with me…”

“Don’t worry, he’s definitely up to par.” I lowered my voice, “You’ve met our class leader, Shu Sha, before right?”

“I know her.” Xiao Ding was overjoyed, “Did you convince Shu Sha to be my temporary girlfriend?”

Then he said, “But I don’t really have the guts to talk to Shu Sha, so wouldn’t it get exposed?”

“It’s not Shu Sha.” I gasped, “I just not told you, it’s a cross dresser, which means a man. The class leader isn’t a man, but I’m letting you borrow her brother.”

“Her brother.” Xiao Ding hesitantly said, “I think I met him once. He’s a boy who doesn’t really like animals…”

“Yeah, he doesn’t like animals, but he likes money. Recently, he’s getting more and more into cross dressing… as long as you pay him, he will gladly go with you to the offline meetup.”

“Wait, Shu Sha’s brother actually has that kind of hobby?” Xiao Ding’s reaction was as I expected.

“Who cares about other people’s hobbies? If you guys are allowed to like dota or LOL, then why can’t others like women’s clothing? Anyway, it was the only temporary girlfriend I could find and I guarantee it won’t get exposed.He looks very similar to his sister and can even pass off as her twin sister. “

Perhaps my last sentence struck a chord with Xiao Ding, he hesitantly said, “Then bring him over Saturday afternoon and let me take a look, then I will decide whether to take him or not…”

“Then it’s settled.” I said, “But you have to remember, whether you agree to take him or not, you can’t say a word about it to Shu Sha. If his sister found out, we will all be in trouble.”

Xiao Ding laughed bitterly: “Of course, it’s already humiliating enough to need a temporary girlfriend. If people found out it was a cross dresser, then I wouldn’t even be able to leave my house anymore. Besides, I couldn’t really talk to Shu Sha in the first place…

On Saturday afternoon, Shu Zhe lied to his sister. He came to my house under the pretext of using my home gym equipment.

After he freeloaded a takeout meal at my place, he ran proudly to the large bedroom to change. He even warned me not to peek. Who would even want to see your naked body, maybe I would if it was your sister.

After nearly an hour of dressing up, I almost didn’t recognize Shu Zhe when he came out of the room.

The “girl” standing in front of me was wearing a denim skirt with a small denim jacket. The jacket was open and revealed a white shirt adorned with silver flowers. There were also suspicious bulges under the shirt (should be breast pads).

Below the denim skirt and on top of the black stockings was a snow white absolute territory which can definitely become the focus of attention of passing men.

He had a pair of white canvas shoes, the kind with leather tassels with a cute style. I felt pain thinking about the fact that I would have to bear the cost of these shoes.

As for his appearance, he really does look like the class leader’s twin sister. Although he used bangs and medium length hair, he also doesn’t have the class leader’s domineering aura, but if he was seen by acquaintances they will still suspect he was related to the class leader.

To further increase the difference, I asked Shu Zhe to wear the colored contacts he used before when he took those rope model pictures, which made him seem more multiracial.

“Hey, I’m only doing it for money. Can you stop staring at me, it’s embarrassing.”

He may have said that but he already admired himself multiple times in the mirror. And every time he turned around, he would subconsciously twirl his skirt.
