Studying Is Such A Damn Thing - Chapter 21
School Anniversary Day arrived quickly. Early that morning, Qi Yuan dragged You Cheche out of his warm blankets. After a frantic rush to wash up and get to school, they found their classmates already busy applying makeup in the classroom. You Cheche leaned over and asked, “I’m supposed to cross-dress today, right? Do you think I need to fix anything up?”
A female classmate laughed and said, “No need! With a face like yours, no one will even be able to tell you’re a guy.”
Tan Qing poked his head over and asked, “How can you be so calm about cross-dressing as a grown man? Teach me your ways?”
You Cheche smiled and replied, “First, it’s because Qi Yuan is an Alpha and I’m a Beta. Based on gender roles, it’s more appropriate for me to do it. Second, I just feel like these are just clothes, so why can’t I wear them? If girls can wear pants, why shouldn’t boys be allowed to wear skirts?”
Tan Qing nodded, “Impressive, truly impressive!”
You Cheche went into an empty classroom to change into his skirt and put on his wig before stepping out.
Qi Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
The person before him had long, straight black hair in a hime-cut style, accented by a creamy white hairpin. He wore a loose polo-collared shirt paired with a black midi skirt, mid-calf socks, and small heeled leather shoes. Holy cow! This was the absolute peak of cross-dressing!
Don’t ask how Qi Yuan knew that, he had been looking forward to You Cheche’s female look so much that he had scoured every major social platform just to understand different women’s fashion styles.
“Oh! Senior Cheche looks quite lovely, doesn’t she?” Qi Yuan teased.
You Cheche gave him a playful swat. “Hurry up and take a photo of me! My god, I’m gorgeous!”
Qi Yuan laughed and nodded. “You’re so vain!” Yet his body was honest as he whipped out his phone and started snapping away.
Looking at Qi Yuan, he wore a white shirt with a black tie, topped with a black suit jacket and a rose tucked into his breast pocket. He looked incredibly flashy, and the two of them were quite a match in terms of style.
When they walked back into the classroom, the room went silent for a second before erupting into wild cheers: “Ohhh, they match so well!” “Where did this senior sister come from? Can I get your WeChat?!” “Senior is so handsome!!!”
Tan Qing leaned in again. “Damn? This look? It’s insane! At first glance, you really can’t tell if you’re a guy or a girl!”
You Cheche smiled. “Thanks for the compliment…”
Shen Yiyi and Song Chaolian returned as well. Both were dressed in tailcoats with their hair slicked back into rare undercut styles, looking unexpectedly handsome.
Meanwhile, for his performance, Tang Yuwei had put on a magician’s outfit with a large cape, looking like he thought he was Kaito Kid. After Li Yuyu’s once-in-a-century desperate resistance, Tang Yuwei had finally agreed to wear a butler’s uniform he had fought hard for, and he looked surprisingly good in it!
Then, Tan Qing tied a rabbit tail to the back of his outfit, right at the base of his spine. Surprisingly, it didn’t look out of place… it actually seemed quite… fitting?
Anyway, Tan Qing said it looked good and wouldn’t let him take it off. Li Yuyu had no choice but to agree.
Even when the show started, Li Yuyu was still glancing at his rabbit tail from time to time, feeling a bit out of place.
One performance followed another, and soon it was time for You Cheche and Qi Yuan’s girl group dance. When You Cheche stepped onto the stage and the announcer called out his name, the entire audience boiled over.
“That’s You Cheche?! Holy crap!! So beautiful!!!”
“Senior Cheche!!!! She’s school beauty level!!!”
“Qi Yuan is so handsome too!!! Ahhh!!!”
But how could an occasion like this be missing…
“Yuan-Che is forever, ahhhh!!!!!”
Where were the “shipping” fans?
“Ahhhh, Mom and Dad are performing on the same stage, I’m dying, ahhh!!!”
You Cheche and Qi Yuan shared a look and both smiled.
As the intro music began, the crowd went wild again.
“Is it Troublemaker?! Ahhhh!!!!!”
“My god!!!! Such a sexy song, ahhhh, it’s so suggestive, ahhhh, just kiss already!!!!!”
The two moved to the beat, completing one intimate move after another. Fingertips brushed against skin, leaving behind sensations of warmth and a lingering, tension-filled atmosphere.
For the final ending pose, You Cheche lifted his leg and wrapped it around Qi Yuan’s waist, resting his hands on Qi Yuan’s shoulders while leaning his body back. Qi Yuan had to wrap one arm around Cheche’s back and grip his leg with the other, as they pulled into a tight embrace.
As they held the pose, the crowd below went into a frenzy.
“Waaaah!!! My life is complete!!!!”
“The No. 2 High School couple rules the world! No one touches Yuan-Che!!!!”
“So sweet, ahhhhh, forever together!!!!!”
