Chapter 511: – Classmates
It was the start of the school term. Lin Jin walked with Xia Tian on the school’s basketball court, looking around at those new students coming and going with their suitcases.
Xia Tian’s hands were a bit naughty. He reached his hand out to wrap around Lin Jin’s waist, but was slapped away without hesitation.
"This is school. What if we’re seen by my classmates?" Lin Jin had her head lowered, both her hands holding her phone as she hurried forward.
"There’s no problem." Xia Tian quickly caught up with a face full of smiles "Just let them know. Once they know, they won't pursue you anymore."
"They all still think I'm a guy, okay?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him. "Even if there’s a pervert like you who likes me, it's unlikely anyone else would pursue me, okay?"
Xia Tian shrugged. He glanced around and noticed that Lin Jin seemed to have quite a bit of popularity at this school. There were a few male college students holding up their phones and taking pictures of her. There was even a girl excitedly talking about Lin Jin to her companion.
Although he couldn't hear clearly, maybe it was because his ears were too good, Xia Tian heard several people around mentioning Lin Jin’s name.
Lin Jin hadn't slept very well last night. After all, summer break was so happy, now suddenly being told one day that she had to go register and get ready for classes made her feel a little down. Feeling down, she didn't sleep well.
She yawned, a bit tired. Today, she was simply there to help with the cleaning and hand in her student ID for registration. Now that it was over, she planned to go have some fun at Xia Tian's place for the day.
After all, classes started tomorrow.
Xia Tian just so happened to have the day off today. She followed Xia Tian out the school’s main gate and leisurely decided to head to the back gate and get something to eat.
Since school opened today, all the shops near the back gate had suddenly opened up. Her dad’s milk tea shop also started thriving. Her dad wore a smile all day, clearly happier than during the summer break. After all, he was finally making money. During the break, the milk tea sales probably didn't even cover the utility bills and stuff.
They made two cups of milk tea at her dad’s shop. Just as they were about to head to Xia Tian’s place, Lin Jin suddenly start a familiar crossdresser walk into the milk tea shop.
"Long Lihao?"
"Lin Jin?"
This Long Lihao guy, last semester, was rumored to have gotten together with his cousin Chen Hao. Seeing him again now, Lin Jin noticed that this little bottom guy also started wearing women’s clothing. If it weren’t for that familiar looking face without much makeup on, she really wouldn't have recognized him.
After Long Lihao put on women’s clothes, he actually looked quite pretty. Although Lin Jin felt he definitely couldn’t compare to herself, among a bunch of girls, he could be considered average. As long as he puts on some makeup, he could become a real beauty.
"Wow! Lin Jin, you're getting prettier and prettier now!" Long Lihao quickly came over, ignoring Xia Tian beside her, and used both hands to grab Lin Jin’s arm. Those big eyes of his looked at her with envy. "Did you get plastic surgery? Why’s the difference so big?! I always thought I was prettier than you!"
Long Lihao's voice wasn't entirely feminine, it was a bit rough so it sounded slightly awkward.
Xia Tian had a dumbfounded expression as he looked at Long Lihao, then at Lin Jin. Having never met Long Lihao before, he didn't know that the person before his eyes was a crossdresser. It was just he had always thought that Lin Jin didn’t have any close girl friends, but it turned out she did.
"Is this... your bestie?"
Xia Tian blankly scratched his head.
"My classmate. Male." Lin Jin calmly said.
Alright, so it’s a crossdresser.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Long Lihao tilted his head and looked at Xia Tian. This guy’s height was just 1.7 meters, with a thinner build than the average man. Although it wasn’t quite to the level of a woman’s, someone who didn’t know might not be able to tell he was a male.
"Mhm." Lin Jin admitted quite directly. After all, Long Lihao could be considered as someone like herself.
Long Lihao pulled Lin Jin to sit down on the seats in the milk tea shop. Her dad was over at the counter, focused on making milk tea orders, and didn't pay attention to what they were saying.
"Lin Jin, I started taking medication over the summer." Long Lihao whispered very quietly to Lin Jin "I'm a bit scared now. If my family finds out, they might beat me to death."
"Didn't your family not mind you crossdressing?" Lin Jin sat with Xia Tian across from Long Lihao. She quite admired his courage and gave him a thumbs up.
Long Lihao bitterly smiled: "They just think I'm casually playing around. They thought I’m cosplaying or something."
That was quite tricky. Normally, people who take hormone medications would then find it very difficult to gain their family’s understanding later on.
Lin Jin frowned. Although she hadn't interacted much with Long Lihao, they were still friends after all.
But this kind of thing had no solution. Apart from the person gaining his family’s understanding, outsiders wouldn’t really help.
"Forget it. I'll discuss it with Chen Hao later." Long Lihao shrugged. He then stood up with his newly bought milk tea, waved at Lin Jin, and then left.
At this time, Xia Tian finally started asking Lin Jin questions. He had been completely confused listening just now.
"What that friend of yours said, how come I don’t understand?" Xia Tian blankly asked "What taking medication? Why would his family beat him to death?"
"Let's talk while walking."
The two of them walked towards Xia Tian’s rental place. While walking, Lin Jin explained the concept of a hormone girl to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian's face didn't look too good as he listened. He couldn't help but associate this idea of a hormone girl to Lin Jin.
Even though Lin Jin hadn’t actually taken hormones.
"Uh, let's play Dota when we get back!" Lin Jin changed the subject.
Since school just started, the streets near the school’s back gate were already crowded. Although the back gate of the school had been closed off, the stores here had many items that the stores inside the school didn’t have. Some new students and their families were shopping in the back street.
Lin Jin dodged a somewhat clumsy new student, raised her head, and glanced at Xia Tian’s face.
"Why do you look like you’re in a bad mood?"
"It's nothing." Xia Tian smiled and suggested, "How about we sleep together tonight?"
"Are you crazy?"
Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him. In this past month or so, Xia Tian had never tried anything weird with her. The most these two did was kiss. As for this sleeping together kind of thing, it was normally just during afternoon naps. And even then, it was just Lin Jin wrapped up in a quilt while Xia Tian laid helplessly in the corner.
"I won't do anything. At most, it’ll just be hugging you to sleep!" Xia Tian's expression was much more animated than before. He smiled and promised "I promise I won't mess around!"
"I don't believe it!"
"It'll happen eventually!"
"Still no!" Lin Jin gave him a glare. "Unless you sleep on the floor."
"I'm totally fine with that!"
