Chapter 292: So What?

“I’m telling you, Xiao Yu… that kid is pretty cute, and really obedient. I’ve always wanted a little brother like that.”

Sang Tian picked up a bag of chips and tore it open.

At her words, Song Qiuyu and Xia Qi both froze.

Not a good person card.

But a cute, obedient little brother card.

Song Qiuyu silently broke into a cold sweat for Sang Tian.

She wondered what kind of reaction Jiang Yu would have when, after years of careful planning and finally summoning the courage to confess, Sang Tian handed him a little brother card.

A rabbit bites when cornered, a dog jumps over a wall when desperate—what about a little wolf dog?

It seemed she could catch a glimpse of the answer from Jiang Xiao.

The anime’s pace was fast. In the first episode, the main couple hadn’t made any progress, but the first side couple had already rocket-fast advanced to second base.

“Mmph…”

Song Qiuyu couldn’t help but cover her face with both hands, yet she couldn’t help parting her fingers, sneaking a peek at the scene where the female character was exchanging saliva with the male character.

Just one glance made her ears burn hot. She couldn’t look directly anymore.

But even with her eyes closed, the excellent voice acting only fueled her perverted brain to conjure up even more lewd images!

Glancing at Xia Qi and Sang Tian beside her, watching intently and equally embarrassed, she felt a bit moved.

Before, she’d only ever watched this kind of mildly risqué stuff with her buddies.

This was the first time she’d watched a romance anime with girls.

Such a strange feeling.

But judging by their reactions… not that different after all.

“Sang Tian, aren’t you resistant to guys? Are you okay watching scenes like this?”

Thinking of what Sang Tian had said, she asked worriedly.

“I feel great. I know it’s impossible, but I still hope they, right now! Immediately! This instant! Kissing and rolling into bed!”

Sang Tian’s eyes sparkled.

“?”

Song Qiuyu was stunned for two seconds, then pretended to be calm as she tore open a pack of Golden Crispy Shark and took a bite.

From that point on, all topics revolved around the anime. Song Qiuyu gradually came to understand the true nature of girls.

No matter how proper and vegetarian they seemed on the surface, deep down they were all carnivores.

After realizing this truth, she felt much more at ease with her own situation.

‘See, I’m perfectly normal.’

‘There’s nothing wrong with wanting to cling to my boyfriend and be teased a little.’

They watched the anime until around six o’clock, then Sang Tian and Xia Qi left. Before leaving, they thoughtfully took the trash with them, including the small cake’s packaging.

Song Qiuyu sat on the sofa for a while longer, then got up and walked to the bedroom.

She changed into going-out clothes and hurried to the school gate to meet her classmates from the same major.

For this graduation dinner, the only ones absent were her three roommates.

But everyone who could come had come, and some were still on their way.

Even so, though these were classmates she’d theoretically spent four years with, Song Qiuyu couldn’t fully recall all their names when gathered together.

Not even her own class monitor.

In two words: not close.

“Song Qiuyu, be honest—are you dating Jiang Xiao?”

The class monitor kept pressing closer.

“Before, we thought you were a guy, so forget it. But now you’re a girl. Don’t you two get a little too close?”

“So what?”

Song Qiuyu answered her calmly with three words.

She and Jiang Xiao hadn’t officially announced their relationship yet.

Though she’d wanted to post an official announcement on her social feed three years ago, Jiang Xiao had more rationally stopped her.

The reason was that the gender transformation disorder was causing a big stir at the time.

If they announced it rashly, they might be used as pawns.

Better to endure a little longer.

However, over these three years, they were basically a couple in everything but an official announcement.

Anyone who wasn’t blind could see they were lovers.

“Yeah, so what?”

Gu Nian from the next dorm chimed in: “Class Monitor Xu, I know you like Jiang Xiao, but his heart is already taken. You should give up.”

“I…”

Xu Tongtong bit her lip.

She couldn’t explain, so she had to swallow the confession she’d never managed to utter.

Who could understand this despair? The person she liked turned into a girl, and now they were together with the very person she had once wanted to seduce.

For all she knew, they might have already signed a lifelong contract with a Cream Puff Beauty contract beast and secretly gotten engaged.

They’d probably get married right after graduation like some people.

She glanced at the person beside her, who looked like a beautiful girl from every angle, gritted her teeth, and scoffed.

“Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything. Let’s go. We’ll eat grilled fish tonight.”

“Mm.”

Song Qiuyu didn’t know what Xu Tongtong was thinking. She just smiled politely and nodded.

On the way, she suddenly received a message.

It was from Jiang Xiao.

Seeing the note “Husband” on the screen, she instinctively glanced around, stepped aside, and only then, with a blush, dared to look at it.

The origin of this note was one of Jiang Xiao’s five wishes.

He wanted her to use this note for the rest of her life, until he came up with something better.

On the day she heard that wish, she really wanted to crawl under the vending machine and find a time shuttle machine.

She had to get those five wishes revoked.

[Husband]: Xi’er, your dinner should be starting soon, right? What are you eating tonight?

Huh?

Song Qiuyu was a bit sulky. Why ask that? He couldn’t come anyway.

Taking advantage of the fact he couldn’t see her, she rolled her eyes and pouted, then answered seriously:

“We’re going to that grilled fish place we always hit up. Sigh, Jiang Xiao, you’ll miss out again.”

It seemed Jiang Xiao was waiting by the screen.

No sooner had she sent the message than his reply came: “That place, huh. Got it.”

Seeing this, Song Qiuyu froze. She recalled the past three years.

When they were apart filming, they would sneak into each other’s sets without telling the other, to give a surprise. Could it be…

If Jiang Xiao actually showed up tonight, she’d reward him with a kiss!

Thinking this, Song Qiuyu’s expression, which had been a bit disappointed that her boyfriend and two roommates couldn’t make it, turned full of anticipation.

The graduation dinner suddenly became something to look forward to.

When they arrived at the grilled fish restaurant and ordered, everyone started chatting.

The conversation turned to their postgraduate entrance exam results.

Almost everyone in their major had applied for their own school.

Those who passed would not leave after graduation. Conversely, today’s dinner was the real graduation for them.

Song Qiuyu didn’t join their discussion.

She seemed distracted, looking around. Before she could spot the person she wanted to see, she was caught by someone beside her.

“Song Qiuyu, what are you looking for?”

“Heh…”

Song Qiuyu scratched the back of her neck, thought for a moment, and was about to answer calmly.

Just then, an extremely loud voice sounded from behind her.

“Lao Song!”

It was Xie Zhuran.

Song Qiuyu followed the sound and was startled to see three figures emerging from the night. For a moment, she forgot to breathe.
