After Dressing Up As A Woman, My Roommates All Kissed Me Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Chapter 6 That little face looks narrower than it did half a month ago…

Pei Yisheng felt that he had been infected by the people around him and had also become gossipy. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two walking intimately side by side, stopping at the takoyaki stall to order a serving.

“I’m not used to eating seafood, so I’ll just try two of yours.” Fang Xin seemed a little embarrassed. “I, I won’t take advantage of you. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll buy it for you.”

“I really didn’t mean to… it’s just that I was in the countryside before and hadn’t seen these things.”

Qi Min was tall and robust, and he didn’t care at all about the rumors surrounding Fang Xin in class, nor did he care about the small amount of money for the food.

Hearing Fang Xin say he hadn’t eaten or seen it before, he offered to take him to experience it. “No need, I bought this for you. Just eat more and see more, and you’ll get used to it. Are they not wrong? Why are they always staring at you?”

Fang Xin looked at Qi Min gratefully. “Thank you, Qi Min. You are the first friend I’ve made here.”

Qi Min gave a hearty laugh and scratched his head. “You’re welcome.”

The takoyaki was ready quickly. The stall owner, having heard the entire conversation, handed the box of small balls directly to Fang Xin, while Qi Min scanned the code to pay.

The two then walked toward the next food cart.

Pei Yisheng caught a few scattered words and figured it was a new friend of Fang Xin’s, so he stopped paying attention.

He always believed in the power of the plot anyway. Even if this tall guy had ideas, he could only end up as cannon fodder.

Unless, unless Fang Xin was willing.

This was Pei Yisheng’s own guess, because in this story, Fang Xin was the Protagonist Shou, and the Protagonist Gongs were also protagonists. Since the Protagonist Gongs could make choices slightly different from the original plot, Fang Xin certainly could too.

Pei Yisheng felt a faint underlying worry, but he didn’t know how to dispel it. This worry not only failed to fade with time but made him even more anxious, so much so that even Su Yiyi noticed.

“If you’re not in good shape, don’t study for now. You can’t keep going like this nonstop,” Su Yiyi advised, thinking he was too tired.

Pei Yisheng shook his head. “It’s fine. Health is the capital of revolution. I won’t exhaust myself.”

Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded, Su Yiyi’s eyes darted around, and he said, “My friends invited me to a bar near the school. Why don’t you come with me and let loose a little?”

“There aren’t many people, just four or five. If you’re uncomfortable, you can come back early,” Su Yiyi pleaded, holding Pei Yisheng’s arm.

Pei Yisheng thought about it. The original plot didn’t seem to include a bar setting, so it should be safe.

He nodded in agreement, planning to go with Su Yiyi after class.

The bar wasn’t far from the school; they could walk there. After class, the group of six—all handsome men and beautiful women—were quite eye-catching as they walked down the street.

Su Yiyi had deliberately dressed a little provocatively. Two other boys had a similar style, while the two girls were very neutral, dressed coolly with a punk edge. One of the girls’ eyes lit up when she saw Pei Yisheng.

After the introductions, she kept talking to Pei Yisheng. “Sheng Sheng, you are exactly my type. How did you grow up so beautiful? Those eyes, that mouth—it’s a look I couldn’t achieve in my next life.”

Pei Yisheng was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm. “Cheng Cheng, you are very pretty too.”

“I am pretty, but you are even prettier,” Cheng Cheng praised him without reservation.

Su Yiyi almost burst out laughing on the side. “Cheng Cheng, Sheng Sheng is very traditional. He won’t play 4i with you, so stop trying to lead him astray.”

Cheng Cheng didn’t care. “I know, I just like talking to pretty people.”

Pei Yisheng took a deep breath, his horizons broadened once again.

Once inside the bar, Su Yiyi headed straight for a booth. Before long, a promoter brought over the alcohol.

The atmosphere was lively. College students with nothing to do gathered in groups and had fun on their own, without needing the bar’s hosts or hostesses to intervene.

Their booth quickly went from full to only having Pei Yisheng and Cheng Cheng left. Even Su Yiyi had gone out hunting, as he put it, saying he had to find a handsome guy to kiss tonight.

People on both sides were intensely playing finger-guessing games. Cheng Cheng asked Pei Yisheng if he wanted to join. Pei Yisheng shook his head. When one of the boys returned, Cheng Cheng ran over to play.

Although Pei Yisheng hadn’t moved, quite a few people in the bar were watching him. It could be said that from the moment he walked in, he was uniquely different here.

When going out to party, people either dressed appropriately or were uninhibited. Pei Yisheng was neither; he looked obedient and well-behaved. Some people were more ethical and didn’t have any ideas, but others really wanted to pull Pei Yisheng down and see how tempting his cheeks looked when flushed with alcohol.

Cao Qing had hidden at home for over half a month before his face finally recovered. As soon as he recovered, he couldn’t stand it anymore and eagerly organized a gathering to go out. Listening to his lackeys flatter him, he felt completely elated.

The shadow of the severe beating had faded, and his hazy eyes were already a little dizzy. When he saw a beauty under the lights from afar, Cao Qing’s inherent depravity resurfaced. He whistled a rogue tune and swaggered over.

He didn’t notice anything amiss until he got close. The short hair on the beauty’s head only registered for a second before his gaze went straight to the face. Holding his glass out, he said, “Beauty, have a drink. I’m buying tonight.”

Pei Yisheng found the voice familiar and the face vaguely recognizable. The other party kept rambling, and the followers behind him acted as wingmen. Pei Yisheng looked closer and actually remembered who it was.

Not only did he remember, but Cao Qing’s lackeys remembered too.

After all, they were subordinates, and they were sharp. They had all witnessed Qin Zhou’s attitude when he spoke to Pei Yisheng after beating up Cao Qing. That was someone protected by a living King of Hell, someone their boss Cao Qing couldn’t afford to provoke.

Immediately, they bowed and scraped, directly lifting Cao Qing up, one on each side. “He’s drunk. Whatever he said, he didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive him, as the bigger person. Don’t tell Qi Ge. Our boss has truly changed. We’ll keep an eye on him.”

Pei Yisheng was happy to have an easy out. He nodded, the reserved curve of his lips like a sliver of moonlight, shattering the dreams of many people.

Cao Qing was considered a local tyrant here. If even Cao Qing couldn’t mess with this person, what ability did they have? They quickly retracted their offensive gazes, leaving Pei Yisheng in peace.

Pei Yisheng stayed for a while longer, feeling a bit short of oxygen, before finding Su Yiyi and telling him he was going back.

Su Yiyi was very loyal. “Do you want me to walk you back? Or maybe I should just go back too. We have class tomorrow.”

Pei Yisheng could tell he hadn’t finished having fun, so he smiled. “No need. It’s such a short distance, what could happen? I’m just not sure where the others are, so you’ll have to worry about them.”

“It’s fine, they all love to party. I’m most worried about you, so I’ll walk out with you anyway.”

Su Yiyi said this without lingering, grabbing Pei Yisheng’s hand and heading out.

The air outside was indeed better. Pei Yisheng took several deep breaths, feeling like the air in his lungs had been completely replaced, and his mind cleared up significantly.

He and Su Yiyi walked slowly toward the school, stepping under the streetlights and moonlight.

Although the root of Pei Yisheng’s anxiety hadn’t been resolved, the exposure to new things was a good experience. Moreover, the bar near the school wasn’t very chaotic and was well-managed, reigniting his previous idea of working part-time at a bar.

He hadn’t finished talking to the bar promoter last time. This time, he would talk properly. If he could get a part-time job, he would set aside some fixed hours.

Thinking this, his heart felt a little lighter.

Returning to the dorm, the pitch-black room gave him a sense of security. He hummed a soft tune and turned on the light.

As the light suddenly flared, Qin Zhou turned his head away slightly. The movement was so small that Pei Yisheng didn’t notice there was someone else in the room.

He brushed his teeth and took a shower according to his usual rhythm. When he came out, he saw Qin Zhou sitting on his bed, bare-chested and playing with his phone, completely stunned.

“I… did I wake you up? I’m sorry, I didn’t know anyone was still in the room,” Pei Yisheng explained softly.

Qin Zhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, his voice carrying the nasal tone and raspiness of someone just woken up. “It’s not your fault. No need to apologize.”

Pei Yisheng pursed his lips, his eyes darting around twice. When they touched the well-defined abs, he quickly pulled them back. Taking Qin Zhou’s words at face value, he quickly climbed into his own bed to sleep.

Since it was already well past his usual bedtime, Pei Yisheng fell into a deep sleep with almost no effort.

Qin Zhou listened to the faint, heavy breathing coming from the opposite bed and chuckled softly. He couldn’t quite figure out why he had sat up just to say a few words to Pei Yisheng.

The guy didn’t even seem to care.

Qin Zhou turned around, switched off the light, and went to sleep too.

Perhaps because he had been interrupted once, Qin Zhou couldn’t fall asleep right away. His thoughts drifted aimlessly, eventually landing on Pei Yisheng.

If he wanted to know about the Pei family’s affairs, all he needed to do was look at the files on his father’s desk.

It was truly bad luck for the Pei family. They took on a failed project, and when their protective umbrella collapsed, the Pei family, unwilling to default on wages and loans, was dragged down.

But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. There was no reason for Pei Yisheng to be so frugal, working part-time to earn money, was there?

That little face looks narrower than it did half a month ago.

Qin Zhou couldn’t understand it. He didn’t want to rashly hire a detective to investigate, not because of high morals, but because he felt that if he investigated, Pei Yisheng would get angry.

This was another kind of inexplicable concern. Qin Zhou decided he would wait until Pei Yisheng was willing to talk about it before learning the details.

Pei Yisheng’s biological clock was very dedicated. Even though he went to bed late, it still woke him up early. Unable to lie still, he simply got up.

Just like when he returned, Qin Zhou was still sleeping. Pei Yisheng grabbed his toiletries and quietly went to the communal washroom.

When he returned, he ran into Lin Jiayu carrying breakfast, looking troubled about how to get into their dorm room.

Seeing Pei Yisheng, Lin Jiayu’s eyes lit up. “Sheng Sheng, let me in quickly! I brought breakfast for you too. It’s still warm.”

Pei Yisheng wasn’t sure when he had become so familiar with Lin Jiayu, but he still unlocked the door with his fingerprint. “The dorm is a bit messy, please don’t mind it.”

“It’s fine. Dorms are small and people have a lot of stuff, so it’s normal for them to be messy. Even at home, you need to be diligent about cleaning,” Lin Jiayu said. Before he finished speaking, he saw the full view of Pei Yisheng’s dorm room: spotless and perfectly organized, as if someone had OCD.

Except for Qin Zhou’s bed—that was truly embarrassing, brother!
