“Su Boss, do you remember me? Last weekend, I was on a mission and didn’t come to the Night Market to buy a Bento. But the weekend before that, I did, and even the weekend before that as well. Do you have any impression of me?”
“Su Boss, your skin is so good, how do you usually take care of it?”
“Su Boss~~”
At Lin Yin Apartment, under Building No.3,
Su Qi ran into a familiar figure downstairs.
After that, compared to the slightly tense atmosphere just now when walking side by side with Senior Lin Xue, the mood noticeably brightened and even grew a bit noisy.
But listening to the cute loli voices that were so friendly and warm, Su Qi didn’t feel relaxed at all—in fact, he felt even more nervous.
The reason was simple.
The more Su Qi looked at the exquisitely beautiful girl before him, whose face was flawless but had a pair of elf ears, the more familiar she seemed.
Because that height, that voice, and those little white shoes she wore—no matter how he looked at it, it was his Class 18, Year 2 classmate, An Xiaoling!
The Cangyou Wildcat Team, that adventure group… actually had his own classmate in it!!
Class 18 was supposed to be the lowest-ranked class, all unawakened.
So why was An Xiaoling able to join the Cangyou Wildcat Team?
And why did An Xiaoling, who was usually hostile to him in the classroom, show such unexpected fondness toward his ‘Su Boss’ persona?
It was strange—really strange.
Too many sudden questions overwhelmed him.
Faced with one excited question after another from An Xiaoling, Su Qi’s mind went blank, unsure which to answer first or how to respond properly.
Fortunately, at that moment, a coquettish girl’s voice came just in time to save him.
“Hey, hey, Junior Sister An, Su Boss is here for an interview today. Don’t scare him off. Let’s go upstairs and talk slowly in the apartment.”
As Lin Xue spoke, she took Su Qi’s hand and An Xiaoling’s hand, one on each side, and led them toward the apartment building.
Out of An Xiaoling’s sight, Lin Xue discreetly gave Su Qi a smiling wink.
Her fluttering eyelashes seemed to silently say: ‘See? Wasn’t it right for me to tell you to prepare a fake name?’
Seeing Senior Lin Xue’s ‘praise me’ expression,
Su Qi’s feelings were a little complicated for a moment.
Grateful? Yes, a bit.
If it hadn’t been for Senior Lin Xue’s hint just now, and if he had carelessly introduced himself under his real name ‘Su Qi’ when entering the Cangyou Wildcat Team,
An Xiaoling, his classmate, would likely have become suspicious.
If he showed any sign of nervousness, it would have blown his cover—and that wouldn’t be good!
From that perspective, he should be thankful to Senior Lin Xue.
But the problem was, Lin Xue was not only a member of the Cangyou Wildcat Team but also a senior at Spiritual Martial University.
Su Qi didn’t think she was unaware that An Xiaoling was in the same Class 18, Year 2 as himself.
Thinking about that made Su Qi a bit annoyed.
Couldn’t Senior Lin Xue have told him earlier?
What a tease!
Still, complaints aside,
after being pulled into the elevator by Senior Lin Xue, Su Qi began thinking about what name he should use later.
Since he was dressed as a girl and looked like a beautiful young lady, even a fake name should be feminine and something he could respond to naturally.
Soon, Su Qi thought of a suitable name.
Since his surname was Su, and he wasn’t sure what else to use, he decided on two Sus—Su Su. It sounded nice and feminine.
While Su Qi was pondering,
Ding dong~
The crisp elevator sound rang out, and before he knew it, they had arrived at the 15th floor.
“Su Sister, we’re here! This way, this way.”
As the elevator doors opened, An Xiaoling jumped out ahead, enthusiastically leading Su Qi toward Room 1501.
Because he had been lost in thought about the name, Su Qi hadn’t paid much attention to the apartment’s layout while walking in, only knowing that this apartment was quite luxuriously decorated.
Now, stepping off the elevator, Su Qi was shocked to discover
the design of the Lin Hidden Mansion’s apartments was rather surprising.
There were clearly two elevators in one unit… yet the entire 15th floor only had two households.
Was this the legendary ‘two elevators, two households’ design?
That meant the public area must be huge, and the property fees would definitely be sky-high.
Just as Su Qi activated his Su Wife Ability and subconsciously started the Housekeeper Ability’s analysis, click
Room 1501’s door was opened by An Xiaoling.
“Su Boss, I’ve already prepared slippers for you. Welcome to the Cangyou Wildcat Team. Hey, you guys stop watching TV and come out quickly!”
After handing Su Qi a pair of adorable little bunny cotton slippers, An Xiaoling angrily placed her hands on her hips and shouted toward the living room, clearly upset no one had come to greet them.
Seeing An Xiaoling’s domineering host demeanor at the Wildcat Team’s base, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Although Su Qi had never actually joined an adventure team, because Su Lulu had been unconscious,
the always working and part-time Su Qi knew that if a team’s atmosphere was always dead and suffocating, overly rigid and oppressive, then being part of it would be exhausting.
Now that An Xiaoling was like this, Su Qi felt somewhat relaxed.
It seemed the Cangyou Wildcat Team was a pleasant place to work!
Swish swish swish~
Just as Su Qi felt at ease and slipped off his little leather shoes to step into the slippers An Xiaoling handed him,
he suddenly heard several quick, light footsteps coming from the living room.
Looking up, Su Qi saw three small cats of different colors appearing around the corner by the entrance.
One pure white, one jet black, and the last one gray.
“Wow, Little White, Little Black, Little Grey, did you come to welcome me?”
Seeing the three cats, An Xiaoling, wearing white stockings, smiled softly and crouched down, opening her arms as if to hug the three little ones.
But the next second, An Xiaoling froze.
The three adorable little cats slipped right through the gaps of her outstretched but slender arms.
Meow meow meow~
Under An Xiaoling’s shocked gaze, the three cats ran straight over to Su Qi’s feet.
They reached out tiny paws to cling to Su Qi’s legs, lifting their little heads up as if asking for a hug.
Seeing them like this, Su Qi was slightly taken aback.
Though he knew his charm increased after crossdressing, he hadn’t expected it to work on cats too.
With the intent to test his Ability, and since Su Qi genuinely liked animals, he smoothed down his JK Skirt with his left hand and gracefully crouched down.
Seeing Su Qi squat, the three cats became excited and scrambled to jump onto his shoulders, arms, and lap.
Their small heads kept nudging him, showing their affection.
“Hehe, so ticklish, stop messing around!”
“Su Boss, it seems you have a rare ‘cat-attracting’ trait! Hi, I’m Brother Jianghu Hao, just call me Brother Hao.”
While Su Qi was warmly interacting with the cats, a low male voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
As a male himself, Su Qi twitched at the voice.
He knew that unless it was a natural tone, this kind of deep voice was usually only used by boys trying to court.
Following the voice, Su Qi saw a sturdy young man with malt-colored skin and two dragons faintly tattooed on his exposed arms, rubbing his hands together and walking toward him.
But halfway, he was stopped by An Xiaoling, who stood with hands on hips: “Mouse, you’re not allowed to lay a hand on Su Boss.”
Perhaps hearing the nickname ‘Mouse,’ the sturdy boy retorted, “Mouse what mouse? Call me Brother Jianghu Hao.”
“Brother Hao my foot, you’re just a big mouse.”
“Go away, you perverted elf girl, go back to writing your lily novels!”
“Who, who’s a lily girl? Su Sister, don’t listen to him saying nonsense.”
Listening to their harmonious bickering while being cuddled by soft cats, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel that the atmosphere in the Cangyou Wildcat Team was really quite nice.
At the same time, he was also caught up in Brother Hao’s teasing of An Xiaoling and fell into thought.
An Xiaoling, with her elf Ability, was actually an author of lily novels?
With that idea crossing his mind, Su Qi suddenly realized something was off.
Recently, An Xiaoling had been stepping on his feet in class for no reason.
Thinking carefully about when she stepped on his feet, it seemed to be exactly when he had lied to his good friend Mo Yu, claiming he was the author of that pineapple bun lily novel.
Could it be that An Xiaoling was the actual author of that lily novel?
And in that novel, the female lead was recently seduced by a young, beautiful, married bento seller.
Recalling how An Xiaoling had shown unusual warmth toward his ‘Su Boss’ identity after they met,
Su Qi shivered silently.
Could it be that Su Boss was actually the transformed version of himself?
What a coincidence!!!
