Chapter 58 : The Fact That I Was Originally a Boy Can’t Be Hidden Anymore

“Hello, are you Xiao Han’s friend? Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of Xiao Han too.”

At this moment, Ying Shiqian had changed her clothes and came out from the back.

She saw the person in front of Xiao Han, who had visited not long ago and could be considered a repeat customer.

But given the current situation, she could naturally tell that Xiao Han and this guest had an unusual relationship.

So she directly came forward to greet and get acquainted.

“Hello, let’s get to know each other. I’m Ying Shiqian.”

“Bai Yu, I suppose you could call me Xiao Han’s sister.”

“So you’re her sister? That’s impressive. No wonder you came to the academy so early.”

“It’s nothing. Thank you for taking such good care of Xiao Han…”

I watched as they started chatting, so I went about my own tasks.

I had a feeling there was a hint of probing in their conversation.

It was clearly the right choice for me not to get involved.

But I hadn’t expected Sister Bai to call herself my sister.

Even though I usually called her sister, there wasn’t actually any sibling relationship between us.

It was just a way of addressing her.

As they talked, I immediately revealed my weakness of not being good at chatting with people.

I couldn’t join in their conversation unless they actively mentioned me, in which case I could manage a few words.

After all, I was barely the connection that brought them together.

After busying myself for a while, I had packed all my creations into freebie bags and placed them one by one in the basket at the entrance.

Then I continued labeling them with colored paper to indicate that customers could take them freely.

After finishing these tasks, I returned to my usual spot to slack off again.

Now their conversation had turned to some profound topics, and I was even less able to join in.

But just when I thought they’d keep going for a while, it seemed like they had finished.

“Xiao Han, I’ll come find you to hang out tomorrow. I have to go now.”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

I hadn’t reacted at first, surprised that Sister Bai was leaving so soon.

I couldn’t exactly stop her, but before she left, if I didn’t see it wrong, did Sister Bai sneak another bag of freebie cookies?

Sister Bai… really?

At this moment, seeing Ying Shiqian still here, I immediately went over to her.

“Senior, what were you and Sister Bai talking about just now?”

“Want to know?”

“Yeah!” I nodded.

“But it’s something you’re not supposed to know. Still want to know?”

“Uh… yes.”

I hesitated for a moment before nodding again.

Since Senior said it like that, it meant I could know, and besides, I really didn’t know what could be off-limits for me.

“Alright, I can’t say no to you. It was about you. I didn't expect your Sister Bai to care about you so much.”

“I know Sister Bai cares about me a lot, but you still haven’t said what specifically.”

I looked at Ying Shiqian with a drooping face.

Wasn’t that the same as not saying anything?

“You want to know the specifics? Sorry, it’s not suitable for kids.”

“Not even a little hint?”

“I can give you a hint, but don’t regret it.”

“How could I regret it?”

“Then I’ll tell you.”

Ying Shiqian deliberately leaned closer to me, her eyes glinting as if she could see right through me, and she lowered her voice.

“Xiao Han was actually a cute boy before, right?”

“Uh… huh?”

When Ying Shiqian said the word “boy,” I got goosebumps all over, as if my biggest secret had been exposed.

Okay… I regretted knowing!

“Was… was it Sister Bai who told you?”

I asked instinctively.

Sister Bai didn’t seem like the type to spill such a secret, did she?

If she really did, I’d have to confront her about it!

“Of course… not. Your Sister Bai was still trying to cover for you just now, but I’m an old hand at the academy. How could I not tell whether you were a boy before? From your tone and way of speaking to your unconscious little habits and lifestyle, even though we haven’t spent much time together, I can still pick up on it.”

Ying Shiqian rattled off this explanation as if showing off her keen insight, with a touch of smugness.

I swallowed hard, feeling awkward for a moment.

Being exposed like this was just too embarrassing, wasn’t it?

And I had been living as a girl all this time.

I didn’t expect to have so many flaws.

I thought I had been acting pretty well…

“Xiao Han Still listening?”

“I’m… I’m listening.”

I immediately stood straight, since Senior had my secret in her grasp, I didn’t dare disobey.

“Hahaha, this is too funny. Why so nervous? Are you afraid I’ll eat you? Even if you were a boy before, you’re still super cute now.”

Ying Shiqian didn’t dwell on why I accepted it so quickly.

At this moment, she seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere.

I could somewhat understand Quan Xiuzhu’s mood back then.

Right now, I felt like a source of amusement.

“Why isn’t Xiao Han saying anything? Oh, come on! Even so, you’re still Xiao Han. I won't treat you any differently.”

Tang Yihan patted my shoulders to comfort me.

But deep down, Ying Shiqian was overjoyed.

She had been hesitant before, lacking a chance to confirm, but now that she knew, it wasn’t too late.

She felt like Xiao Han was adding a bit of fun to her boring daily life, like a gift from the heavens!

She would definitely cherish it.

“Come Feel the love from your Senior.”

Ying Shiqian didn’t hesitate to pull me into her arms, as if she had gotten her favorite toy, giving me a full face-washing experience.

“Mmph… let… let go!”

I struggled to push Ying Shiqian’s hands away.

I had never experienced anything like this before.

I used to scoff at the idea of face-washing being that suffocating fabrics are breathable, so how could it be suffocating?

Now I understand.

It was truly suffocating!

That soft, oppressive feeling was like it was squeezing out the last bit of oxygen from my lungs!

After struggling for a while, Ying Shiqian finally let me go, and I gasped for air.

Wasn’t Senior Ying Shiqian a bit too bold?

Knowing I was a boy before and still doing this, didn’t she feel… didn’t she feel…

As expected, I wasn’t a real girl and couldn’t understand a girl’s thought process.

“Xiao Han is so cute. If you get bullied at the academy, come to me, okay If you run into any difficulties in life, you can come to me too. I’ll teach you step by step how to be a cute girl.”

“No… thanks… I have Sister Bai…”

At this moment, Ying Shiqian was pinching my face, making even my words come out a bit airy.

“You have Sister Bai, but you wouldn’t mind having a Sister Ying too, right? Cute girls are in high demand at the academy, so you’d better stay sharp.”

“I don’t need your reminder for that Geez.”

“Alright, alright If you really can’t hold back, tell me, and I’ll take you to the academy’s famous Fengqing Street. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
