Chapter 189: Ex-girlfriend and Gender Worries

After returning from the Central Teaching Area, even the sky had darkened a bit; this was a little later than my usual time.

The moment I entered, I saw Hong Chenyi in the living room fiddling with her uh, skirt?

“Hong Chenyi, why did you buy so many clothes again?”

I looked at Hong Chenyi; usually, even when I came back, she seemed to be the first one to respond to me, but not now, which made me curious about what she was doing.

“Big Sis Xiao Han? Come and see, does this piece match my temperament?”

At this moment, Hong Chenyi was holding a one-piece dress against her body, and beside her was a full-length floor mirror that I didn't know when she had bought.

“What are you doing this for? Also, didn't you guys buy clothes once before? Where did these come from?”

I looked at the perfectly packaged paper bags neatly stacked beside the sofa; it was obvious that these should all belong to Hong Chenyi this time.

“These... eheh, it was my girlfri... oh, she doesn't allow me to call her girlfriend, anyway, my good gal pal bought them for me.”

“Ah? Is it... Shi Huiyu?”

I asked tentatively.

After all, Hong Chenyi had just let it slip and said girlfriend, but isn't she an ex-girlfriend?

“Yeah, I went to see her today. Our relationship isn't exactly reconciled, it's probably a relationship that's just a tiny bit above a girlfriend.”

“Slightly?”

I immediately searched for the keyword; what concept is a little better than a girlfriend relationship?

“Aiya, Big Sis Xiao Han, don't ask about this kind of thing! Anyway, you don't understand our relationship!”

“I understand, you're not in a friends-with-benefits relationship, are you?”

I asked bluntly, after all, even if they got back together, there's no need for this, right?

Moreover, after chatting with Shi Huiyu briefly before, I found that Shi Huiyu is quite dominant.

Maybe she's the active one.

Look what she has done to Hong Chenyi.

With this posture, who could guess she used to be a boy?

“What are you talking about! How can our relationship be described with such vulgar words! Big Sis Xiao Han, if you say that about me. I'll be very sad! And Big Sis Xiao Han, yesterday, yesterday you also did something very excessive to Shi Huiyu, right? Didn't you promise to hold back a little?”

“I did hold back. I didn't even use a spellbook beyond standard consumption.”

I spread my hands to show.

Although my current control over standard consumption spellbooks is even more dangerous than those with higher consumption.

“This... ugh... you...”

Hong Chenyi was also left a bit speechless by my words and didn't know how to respond.

She couldn't possibly say that even this kind of spell was very strong, right?

We both ended up in the top ten, so why is the gap so big?

“Alright I get it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come find me. After all, I'm your class president and roommate. Don't forget Big Sis Xiao Han just because you have a gal pal.”

I finally patted Hong Chenyi's shoulder and said earnestly.

“Mmm... oh, right, a senior was looking for you this morning, but you weren't here. Who was that senior?”

“This morning? Her name is Bai Yu. I call her Big Sis Bai. We've known each other for many years.”

“Eh? Big Sis Xiao Han, do you actually have such a connection?”

“It's nothing, I just know some seniors, that's all. By the way, are you the only one in the dorm? Where's everyone else?”

I walked over to the stairs and asked subconsciously.

“Oh, you've asked the right person. Dongli Yiren is in her bedroom, I don't know what she's doing. Guan Qiuling went to her senior's place to play house again today. Yu Yetian I heard she went to that Ascetic club. If there's something going on, it's highly likely she went with the people from the club to negotiate with the academy, wanting to take advantage of the Holy Angel Academy's visit for the exchange, maybe even wanting to be a traitor.”

“Huh?”

I was already used to the first two, but this about Yu Yetian made me unable to hold it in.

However, I still felt that being a traitor was a bit unrealistic.

After all, Tan Han was originally admitted to Holy Angel Academy, and now she's been poached, but it's not like Holy Angel Academy is forcefully demanding her back.

Moreover, the other party was very tactful, and was even willing to contribute more in the exchange competition for Tan Han's sake.

Those at a level lower than Tan Han probably couldn't return to Holy Angel Academy no matter how hard they tried.

Or is it because of their faith in the Holy Light, they're simply going to worship?

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen Yu Yetian these past few days.

She should be fine, right?

After all, she's an Ascetic.

Although I feel like we don't really click, she is my roommate, and even one of the students in my Class 14.

Just as I was about to return to my room, Hong Chenyi stopped me again.

“Wait, Big Sis Xiao Han.”

“What's wrong?”

I looked at Hong Chenyi curiously.

Stopping me at this moment clearly meant she had just thought of this question, perhaps it was just a casual ask.

“Um, I saw a rumor on the academy network saying... Big Sis Xiao Han, you had a... girlfriend before enrolling?”

“Where did you see that?”

A hint of surprise flashed in my eyes.

Where did Hong Chenyi find out, and who spread this rumor?

“Oh, I just happened to come across it while browsing. I was just thinking, how could Big Sis Xiao Han possibly have a girlfriend!”

“I did have one, but she became my ex-girlfriend before I enrolled. Where did you see it?”

I asked with a serious expression.

I have very good reason to suspect that this news was spread by Yao Beijuan.

Even if it wasn't, it must be related to Yao Beijuan.

After all, besides me and Big Sis Bai, who else would know about this?

It couldn't be Tan Han, right?

She doesn't seem like the type to be a big mouth.

“Ah? Ah!? What? Big Sis Xiao Han, you actually had a girlfriend!”

“Correction, ex-girlfriend.”

“That... that's still outrageous! Since you like girls... wait, you're not going to make a move on me, are you? I'm already taken... flower!”

Hong Chenyi subconsciously protected herself.

“Tsk... looking at the lot of you in this dorm, how could I possibly be interested in you? Besides, I'm asking you where you saw it?”

“That seems to be true, Big Sis Xiao Han, you always keep a certain distance from us. That reassures me. But... actually, this rumor was also just something I saw casually, it's all speculation.”

“Speculation? Where was it speculated? What was it based on?”

“Uh... it's... it's just that the elf lady from Aphrodite Academy came straight for you as soon as she arrived, so a lot of people were guessing if you two had a... had a relationship.”

“Just because of that?”

“Pretty much, but I didn't pay much attention. Um, Big Sis Xiao Han, if you're really concerned, you can take a look yourself. The academy's Tieba, forums, and so on.”

“Thanks, I got it.”

After understanding this, I went back to my bedroom.

Although Hong Chenyi might have just mentioned it casually, it still had a big impact on me.

Even though I had already prepared myself for the possibility of this fact being revealed, when it really came to this moment, I was still a little nervous.

I was just thinking about what I was nervous about.

Was it the cheers from the arena audience turning into curses, or the contemptuous gazes from strangers on the roadside?

Actually, I have also paid attention to some students who used to be boys.

In Witch Academy, even if they disclosed their former identity as a boy, they still live quite freely now.

But I'm different.

I'm the Class President of Class 14, a contestant in this Newcomer Competition, and I made it to the top ten. I'm considered a "public figure," right?

The controversy over things that seem to have no effect on ordinary students might be magnified countless times when it comes to me.

Even though I comforted myself countless times that I still have Big Sis Bai with me, I was still panicked.

I even stayed in the shower for a long time, so long that Hong Chenyi asked if I was done.

In the end, I wrapped myself in a bath towel and locked myself in my bedroom, although locking the bedroom door was already a habit of mine.

After lying on the bed, I logged into the academy network.

I was prepared to see what exactly had happened, and whether it was some trick pulled by Yao Beijuan.

After opening it, the academy network was full of recent hot topics.

Because information exchange with the outside world of the academy was cut off, it was basically all discussions among students.

I also saw a lot of interesting news from outside the academy being reposted here.

It seems the academy doesn't really stop this kind of behavior.

After all, it's just information acquisition, not direct communication with the outside world.

The academy's attitude towards this should be one of turning a blind eye.

After scrolling for a while, I also found many posts about the teacher from Aphrodite Academy bringing students over a few days ago.

Many of the comments below were from detectives who could dig up any detail.

The final conclusion was similar to Hong Chenyi's; it was all speculation.

In the end, I did find some speculation about Yang Yuehan being a boy before, but they were all drowned out by comments.

Oh no, there was a pervert who replied "Wouldn't that be even better."

So things haven't developed to the worst point yet, but all of this was still caused by Yao Beijuan's actions.

So annoying I'd better just go to sleep.

Before sleeping, I'd better check the messages in the class group chat.

As long as there are no outrageous rumors in the class group chat, it should be fine.

After all, no matter how much is spread on the academy network, it's virtual, while the class group chat is the reality I can interact with.

But obviously, the class group chat wasn't as varied as the academy network.

Moreover, I am the Class President of Class 14, a figure they can get close to.

Even now, the class was still discussing what kind of relationship I had with that elf named Yao Beijuan.

It scared me so much I didn't dare to pop up, and could only lurk in the group chat.

And I also saw Hong Chenyi's posts in there.

This girl is still active in the group chat this late?

And how could this girl just expose everything in the group chat!

I scrolled up a bit and even discovered that Hong Chenyi had debunked the matter of my ex-girlfriend.

Could it be that the overly casual tone I used earlier made Hong Chenyi think I didn't care about this matter?

But the good news is that the topic had already been discussed before, and now they have moved on to something else.

I turned off my phone.

In the end, lying in bed, I still couldn't sleep, mainly because it was too uncomfortable.

Is there any spell that can make one forget their troubles?

Hurry up and cast one on me!

In the end, I still opened my private messages with Big Sis Bai.

Some things were better asked to Big Sis Bai.

She is a senior at Witch Academy, she must know more than I do.

Yang Yuehan: Big Sis Bai, are you there? Are you asleep?

Bai Yu: Not yet, what's wrong?

Did you suddenly contact me to say goodnight

Yang Yuehan: “Not really... mainly... I can't really sleep.”

Bai Yu: What happened

Han: It's just if the fact that I was a boy gets exposed in Witch Academy.

What should I do?

Bai: Why?

Why are you suddenly worried about this problem?

Han: Today I saw someone digging into my relationship with Yao Beijuan, and you also know what happened today, I'm afraid...

Bai: Whether you were a boy or a girl before doesn't affect the fact that you are a witch now, be good Little Han, Witch Academy doesn't allow discrimination in this regard

Han: Even if there is this rule, others will still look at me very strangely, right?

Bai: What I mean is that it's not an academy rule, oh, Witch Academy doesn't have a rule against discrimination, it's a consensus!

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Witchification does have the ability to change a person's cognition.

Even if someone really mocks you, they must be scum whose Witchification process is not high.

Han: Eh?

Bai: So your situation is that the senior students won't care, and the junior students and those in your year who mock you are not your opponents, understand?

Strength is more useful than public opinion in many situations

Bai: The method of public opinion is too low-level.

And you also underestimate your own influence, and likewise, you underestimate the extent of the restrictions on the spread of information in this area at Witch Academy.

The seniors in the clubs responsible for managing the academy network's information are not to be trifled with.

Whether it's the elf from Aphrodite Academy or other guys, if they want to stir up trouble among the students of Witch Academy, they won't even know how they died, you understand?

Han: I kind of understand now.

Bai: It's good that you understand.

Rest assured, for everything you still have Big Sis Bai.

Bai: Have a good dream.

Han: Good night, Big Sis Bai.

After chatting with Big Sis Bai for a bit, I also breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still a little worried.

This requires one to be able to withstand great pressure themselves.

But I also learned about "Witchification" changing cognition.

This in itself is a very terrifying thing.

The matter of slowly changing a person's cognition, no matter how you think about it, is very scary, right?

But at this moment, it became something that protects me.

Now thinking about it carefully can the changed cognition ignore the fact that I was a boy or a girl before.

That is, to ignore the so-called concept of gender.

After all, a witch's gender is witch.

Perhaps the so-called genderlessness of Holy Angel Academy also has this kind of cognitive change.

So a witch's sexual orientation is witches, that is, the image of a girl.

Then Big Sis Bai's sexual orientation is also.

Uh...

It seems I've reached a rather incredible conclusion.

Aiya, whatever!

My brain is overloaded.

It doesn't matter what happens with this kind of thing.

Just like Big Sis Bai said, a bunch of small fries that aren't even worth my time to challenge can only run their mouths about me!

If I really run into such a person, I should pity them instead.

So weak, and with such a foul mouth, you should just consciously withdraw from the school.

Sometimes, after throwing away quality and face, a person becomes invincible.

Big Sis Bai is right, I will use my strength to shut those people up.

In the end, isn't all of this just me scaring myself?

From another perspective, if it was exposed that Tan Han was originally a boy, would I despise her?

Would I find her disgusting?

I wouldn't.

When a person's mentality changes, many things will change along with it.

I've already lived for two lifetimes, why do I still care so much?

Sleep!

I still have to try that so-called Dream State battle tomorrow.
