Cross-dressing to Seduce My Straight Roommate - Chapter 4
The tail end of August was stiflingly hot, the sweltering summer heat almost unbearable.
Pei Xi sat at the dressing table, carefully tracing his eyeliner.
Outside the window, the wind carried waves of heat, seeping through the gaps in the curtains and surging in one after another.
Pei Xi got up, closed the window tightly, and then turned the air conditioning down a bit lower.
He switched on all the fill lights, arranged all the pastries his mother had made for him on the table, adjusted the camera angle, and began his final livestream of August.
Today, he had deliberately chosen a simple white dress, paired with light makeup, intentionally creating the vibe of a first love, a white moonlight.
“Good evening, babies.”
Pei Xi had notified his fan group in advance, telling them that today was his last livestream of August, scheduled for 9 PM, so quite a few fans had come to watch his stream today.
【Good evening, Xixi~】
【Total first love white moonlight vibes, this is way too pretty (O﹃O)】
【Even your last stream is here to seduce me!!】
“Thank you, Baby Hua Hua, for the sports car~”
“Thank you, Always Be Happy, for the True Love’s Kiss~”
“Thank you, Brother Sunny Day, for the Romantic Carriage~”
Watching the barrage of gift effects, Pei Xi smiled, his eyes curving into crescents: “Thank you, brothers and sisters, for the gifts. Today, we won’t do any PK battles; I want to be a food streamer for once.”
He shifted slightly to the side, letting the camera capture the small cakes arranged on the table. “These were all made by my mom. There’s blueberry-filled, mango mille-feuille, strawberry mousse, and butter cookies.”
【Mom is so amazing!!】
【Xixi likes sweets?】
【They look so delicious!! I’m drooling!!】
Pei Xi took a small bite and chuckled, “I’ve loved sweets since I was little, so my mom specifically learned baking. There are still lots of cookies she made at home. Which one do you want to try first?”
【All of them!!】
【Streamer, hurry up and shout it! One, two, three, link up!】
【Ship them to me to try, I’ll pay for postage!!】
Pei Xi was amused by the comments: “But cakes made that day need to be eaten that day. By the time they reach you, they’d probably have melted.”
After saying that, he licked the cream off the spoon and blinked innocently, “It’s really delicious. The strawberries are sweet, not sour at all.”
The chat exploded.
Pei Xi looked at the string of question marks in the chat, confused: “What’s wrong?”
【Cute… wanna f*ck..】
【I really want to be that spoon, who gets it?】
【There are many little cakes on the screen, but the sweetest one is the white one.】
Pei Xi didn’t understand: “There isn’t a white one?”
The chat went wild with laughter.
【Turns out the little cake hasn’t realized it’s the little cake】
【Xixi is that white little cake!!】
【The sweetest one is you~】
Pei Xi stared at those comments, frozen for several seconds before he finally caught on. The tips of his ears instantly grew hot.
He lowered his gaze, pretending to rearrange the small cakes on the table, the tips of his ears flushed red, and even his cheeks tinged with a faint pink.
【Hahahahaha】
【Even the shy look is so cute, feels like something’s about to grow..】
Looking at the teasing content in the chat, Pei Xi opened his mouth, unsure what to say, and finally managed only: “Don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll mute you in a bit.”
But his tone was soft and gentle, lacking any sense of intimidation.
[Oh?]
[Qiuqiu, you muted me.]
[Who doesn’t know Xixi is a softie~]
Pei Xi was teased to the point of embarrassment and stiffly changed the subject: “After today’s livestream, I’ll be taking a long break. I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but I hope you’ll all still remember me.”
[Why such a long break?]
[At this time of year, is Xixi starting school?]
Pei Xi nodded, finally recovering a bit from his earlier shyness: “I have to take the bus to school tomorrow to register.”
[What school does Xixi go to?]
[So Xixi is still a college student?]
[I thought Xixi was a full-time streamer.]
Pei Xi didn’t specify which school, only vaguely saying: “It’s quite far from home, so I’ll need to settle into my new life at school before considering streaming again. I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long.”
[You can still stream at school. A lot of college students are doing livestreams these days.]
Pei Xi shook his head: “Whether it’s dancing, singing, or even just chatting with everyone, it would disturb my roommates’ rest. I’d rather not stream for now.”
He didn’t want to reveal that he was a cross-dressing streamer, nor did he want his roommates to view him through a biased lens. The only solution was to wait until he adjusted to the rhythm of university life, then take some time to look for rental apartments near the school. Renting a place instead of living on campus wasn’t a small decision. He wanted to discuss it with his parents before making up his mind. Besides, he’d have to buy new streaming equipment and deal with other hassles, so he planned to take his time considering it.
[Ugh! I’m so jealous of Xixi’s roommates!]
Pei Xi could probably guess what they were thinking and replied with a mix of amusement and exasperation: “I only wear dresses and makeup for streaming. When I go out normally, I’m no different from any other guy. It’ll be the same at school. I won’t bring any women’s clothing with me, and I definitely won’t wear dresses in the dorm. So don’t get any strange ideas.”
[You think wearing men’s clothes makes you safe??]
[Roommate: Bro, you smell so good.]
[Just asking, how can I become Xixi’s roommate?]
Pei Xi’s face flushed red from the barrage of teasing comments, and he whispered, “I don’t look good in men’s clothes. I’m just like any ordinary guy—you wouldn’t like me.”
[I don’t believe it unless you show me.]
[Even without makeup, Xixi must still be handsome, right?]
[How about switching to men’s clothes?]
Pei Xi frowned almost imperceptibly. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, he glanced at the leaderboard in the top right corner and froze for a moment at the sight of a familiar default avatar.
[User10557880 sent a Fan Club Badge ×1]
Pei Xi quickly said, “Thank you, User10557880, for the Fan Club Badge. Welcome to Xixi’s livestream.”
[What’s going on? The streamer keeps changing the subject?!]
[Oh my god! It’s our User Bro!!! Welcome to Xixi’s livestream!]
[User10557880] quietly remained on the leaderboard, ignoring the teasing comments in the chat and simply continued sending gifts.
[User10557880 sent Shine for You ×1]
[User Bro doesn’t speak, just keeps tapping through the gallery.]
[Every time User Bro comes, he never says a word—just starts sending gifts right away.]
【I really want to peek into User Bro’s wallet (O﹃O)】
Pei Xi suddenly remembered the promise he made a few days ago: if this user came to watch his livestream, he would let him choose a dance.
Now he was here.
And he had arrived with a flood of gifts.
Pei Xi stared wide-eyed as gift effects took over most of the screen, one after another, until the entire exhibition hall was fully lit up.
He had thanked him over and over, unsure what else to say.
Moreover, he realized that no matter what he said, 【User 10557880】 didn’t seem to care at all.
Pei Xi was completely baffled.
He wondered if all big spenders were like this. Unlike other viewers, they didn’t demand emotional validation from the streamer.
Once the gift effects finally stopped, Pei Xi immediately spoke up: “I promised last time that if you came back to my stream, I’d let you pick a dance. Is there any dance you’d like to see?”
【User 10557880】 remained silent, seemingly focused on exploring the stream’s exhibition hall, occasionally dropping a small gift.
Pei Xi opened his own exhibition hall to check. He had been streaming for almost three months, and this was the first time someone had fully lit it up.
He stared at the screen, his breathing growing uneven.
Could it be… this was the allure of money?
Looking at the total amount of gifts in his wallet, Pei Xi swallowed hard.
Fortune was just around the corner.
Pei Xi: “Thank you, User Bro, for lighting up my exhibition hall.”
His voice trembled slightly, betraying his fluster.
He didn’t know how long 【User 10557880】 would stay. Like the previous two times, the user had left almost immediately after sending gifts, leaving Pei Xi no time to even thank him properly. In a bid to keep the big spender around, he quickly set down the cake he was holding and said, “If you don’t have a particular dance in mind, I’ll perform a few of my favorites.”
He swiftly pulled up the songs he listened to most often, adjusted his skirt slightly, and began dancing to the music.
While he danced, the gifts never stopped.
【User 10557880 sent Luxury Cruise ×1】
【User 10557880 sent Heart Bunny ×1】
【User 10557880 sent Douyin No.1 ×1】
The live chat gradually went wild.
【This is insane, absolutely insane】
【I’ve never seen so many different gift effects before】
【Is User Bro trying to watch every single gift effect?】
【I noticed—if he likes one, he sends it again to watch it a second time…】
【I’m going to fight all you rich people!!】
When Pei Xi returned after finishing a dance, he realized his livestream viewer count had soared to 7,000. 【User 10557880】 sat quietly at the top of the leaderboard while the chat went crazy.
He looked at the scrolling comments in confusion. “What happened? What’s going on?”
Catching his breath, he wiped the light sweat from his forehead and glanced at the comments. Nothing particularly unusual seemed to have happened, so he quietly sighed in relief. “Thank you, User Bro, for the massive gifts. I’ve actually just learned a new dance recently, so maybe I’ll start with—”
Before he could finish, a golden comment floating across the screen caught his eye, and he couldn’t help but read it aloud: “Take a rest, no need to dance. Sending gifts doesn’t come with that requirement.”
Pei Xi stared at the words for a moment, then smiled. “Alright, then let’s get back to enjoying this little cake.”
He took a large gulp of sour plum drink, and his breathing gradually steadied.
“Why did you want to become a cross-dressing blogger?”
“Well…” Pei Xi said honestly, “When I was looking for a job during the summer break, an HR from a live-streaming company talked to me and asked if I wanted to try live-streaming. I refused at the time, but later, when I couldn’t find a good job, I considered the live-streaming path. At first, I streamed myself playing LoLM, but it was hard to attract viewers. People thought my voice was nice and suggested I try voice acting or dubbing work. While I was considering it, I came across the term ‘cross-dressing blogger’ and suddenly thought I’d give it a try. So, I wore one of my mom’s dresses from her youth, and surprisingly, it got a lot of traction. That’s how I decided to go in this direction.”
“Does your family not object?”
Pei Xi shook his head. “My parents are very open-minded. They support any choice I make.”
“…”
Pei Xi chatted with the audience for a long time, and by the time he ended the stream, it was almost midnight.
Seeing the barrage of comments saying, “I don’t want you to go,” his eyes slightly reddened. “I’ve filmed a lot of short videos recently, so I should have enough content to last until my next stream.”
[What?! Hand over the content!!]
“Alright, everyone, goodnight.”
Pei Xi waved at the camera and, after disconnecting, finally relaxed, slumping into his chair.
The live-streaming work could finally be put on hold for a while, but maintaining the fan community still had to continue.
He thanked each of the top gift-givers from the day’s leaderboard and, following his own rules, sent selfies and short dance videos to the top five fans.
“Ding dong—”
[You have a new message.]
Just as Pei Xi picked up the makeup remover to take off his makeup, a small red notification dot appeared on his pinned chat.
[User10557880: Beautiful.]
