After Dressing Up As A Woman, My Roommates All Kissed Me Chapter 18

Chapter 18 The Next Second, Qin Zhou Locked His Waist…

In the blink of an eye, Christmas arrived, and Meng Zihua’s studio was preparing for another event. This time, they specifically saved a spot for Pei Yisheng.

“Don’t say that your senior sister is adding to your troubles, but there are simply too many events at the end of the year, and we don’t have enough people. Otherwise, I wouldn’t interrupt your school rehearsals,” Meng Zihua called Pei Yisheng. “It’s best if you clear both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. These two days have big events, the pay is good, and you definitely won’t lose out if you come.”

Pei Yisheng had no complaints. He knew Meng Zihua was always helping him. “Got it, Senior Sister. We’ve actually practiced quite a bit, so taking some time off is fine. By the way, is Mibao being obedient at your place? Last time I saw him, he was still mad at me.”

Mibao was the Ragdoll cat Pei Yisheng had boarded at Meng Zihua’s house.

After the Pei family went bankrupt, they mortgaged their house to pay employee wages. Pei Yisheng’s parents were receiving treatment abroad, and Pei Yisheng was attending classes and working part-time. Initially, he planned to keep the cat with him, but raising it in the Protagonist Gong’s dorm room made him constantly nervous, fearing the cat might disappear one day.

When Meng Zihua found out, she immediately took Mibao in. “He’s very well-behaved. He’s afraid of my Black Tiger. He lets us pet him, hold him, and kiss him—he’s a cat with excellent cat morals. I told you last time not to take him for sterilization yourself, but you insisted on going, and you didn’t even put on an act while you were there. He definitely holds a grudge against you.”

“Well, it was my first time too. Who knew he had such a temper.” Pei Yisheng finally had some free time. When his senior sister mentioned the cat was in heat and needed to be sterilized, Meng Zihua was busy, so he took the cat himself. When the cat woke up, it almost fought him. Several times after that, when he went to visit, the cat ignored him.

Mibao used to be a real cuddle monster, very skilled at sweeping people’s legs with his big tail.

“Feed him more tasty things, and he’ll warm up to you.”

Pei Yisheng could only hope so. After hanging up, he felt a little nostalgic for the days when Mibao slept beside him.

If it weren’t for the changes in the Pei family, Mibao might not have been taken for sterilization.

His mother, Lin Xuerong, was soft-hearted. Every time she heard Mibao’s distressed meows during heat, she would say they should take him for sterilization. But once the heat passed, she would say Mibao had it tough and shouldn’t be sterilized, as getting cut wasn’t easy. This back and forth continued until he finally had to be sterilized; Pei Yisheng was afraid of causing trouble for his senior sister.

Because Pei Yisheng mentioned the cat, Meng Zihua specifically asked him to come over on Christmas Eve to see Mibao.

Mibao was nestled proudly on the carpet, not bothering to greet anyone.

As soon as Pei Yisheng entered, his attention was drawn to the big, fluffy ball. “Mibao, baby, come find Gege.”

Mibao twitched his little ears, turned his head, and settled into an even more comfortable position.

Pei Yisheng felt helpless. Meng Zihua laughed at his lack of options. “You don’t get it, do you? Try some forced affection.”

“I won’t. He’s sleeping well, I shouldn’t disturb him.” Pei Yisheng quickly took a bunch of photos and videos. “Next time I have more time, I’ll properly coax him.”

Meng Zihua shrugged, tidied up a bit, and then left for the studio with Pei Yisheng.

They took on three jobs over two days, including a familiar character—the Madam Pei Yisheng had cosplayed before. In addition, there were two game characters, both goddess-level. Meng Zihua said he needed some props.

Pei Yisheng looked unremarkable before entering the room, but when he came out, he was curvaceous.

His face was flushed crimson, and he didn’t dare look down. Meng Zihua saw him and laughed, “Still a child, aren’t you?”

Pei Yisheng twitched his lips. “Senior Sister, please stop teasing me. I’m a little unaccustomed to this.”

He could barely see the path beneath his feet.

Meng Zihua patted his shoulder seriously. “Sheng Sheng, believe in yourself. Your potential is limitless. You have no idea how beautiful you are. I guarantee that the flashlights tonight are all aimed at you.”

Pei Yisheng’s natural conditions were too good: he had the height, the long legs, and such a slender waist. He was practically a natural saintly body for cosplaying female characters.

After having glossy lip gloss applied, Pei Yisheng examined himself in the mirror.

It was amazing. Just by changing the shape of his eyes, altering his lips, and switching his hairstyle, a person could transform into a completely different appearance.

When he didn’t speak, Pei Yisheng couldn’t recognize the person in the mirror as himself.

Just as Meng Zihua said, the flashlights that night nearly blinded Pei Yisheng.

He heard many people calling his name. When they shouted “Yiyi,” Pei Yisheng was already skilled at fan service.

The atmosphere was incredibly lively. The organizers were very satisfied and even wanted to treat Pei Yisheng and the others to a meal. Meng Zihua expertly handled the arrangements and told Pei Yisheng to leave first.

While he was still on the road, Pei Yisheng’s new look went viral.

The hot search ranking climbed, scaring Pei Yisheng into calling Su Yiyi. “They won’t find out about me, will they?”

“Probably not. Senior Sister’s studio manages things quite well. Although you certainly receive special favor, it shouldn’t lead to someone doxing you. The main thing is that you have no blemishes yourself, and your physical conditions are right there. You’re not an incompetent person who can’t be helped. There’s no benefit in exposing you.”

“That’s good. At the very least, I need to wait until I move out of the dorm.”

This was Pei Yisheng’s bottom line. Fortunately, the New Year’s Eve gala performance was only three days away. When he returned after the holiday, they would calculate the GPA. Coupled with his efforts over the past half-year, moving out of the dorm was within sight!

The closer it got to the critical moment, the more cautious Pei Yisheng became. He confirmed that Song Wen and Wen Xiuyun had plans on the day of the New Year’s Eve gala. He hadn’t seen Qin Zhou for the past two days and had no way to ask, so he subtly inquired with Lin Jiayu. Upon learning that Qin Zhou wouldn’t be returning either, he was overjoyed.

Consequently, Pei Yisheng was very relaxed on the day of the performance, and the overall effect was superb. The venue erupted in thunderous applause. Before the program list was even halfway through, the host waiting backstage said, “We knew you had talent during rehearsals, but this time the effect is even better than before. Your award is guaranteed.”

Pei Yisheng followed behind the instructing teacher, listening to the teacher’s humble replies.

Because there were many acts and time was tight, they had to find their own places to remove makeup and change clothes. Pei Yisheng and Su Yiyi were no longer interested in the programs they had watched multiple times. They felt it was better to go back and sleep. They took off their wigs, wrapped themselves in long down jackets, and returned to the dorm.

Pei Yisheng hummed the tune from their performance, bending down to take off his shoes.

After removing his shoes, the hardest part was the clothing. To achieve the best effect, the outfit was form-fitting, and the zipper was on his back. He bent his arm and hooked at his back for a long time but couldn’t pull it down, leaving him covered in sweat.

Just as he was wondering whether to call Su Yiyi over, the door opened.

Pei Yisheng turned around without any defense, crashing straight into Qin Zhou’s eyes, which were as black as ink.

For a moment, Pei Yisheng’s heart felt like it was going to leap out.

Qin Zhou tilted his head, as if processing some information. His steps into the dorm were slow, as if afraid of startling someone.

Pei Yisheng swallowed hard. As Qin Zhou approached, he retreated step by step until his back hit the desk, leaving him nowhere to go. He wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say to break the strange atmosphere.

Compared to Pei Yisheng’s panic, Qin Zhou was much calmer. No wonder he had chased her all the way to the door last time but still lost her—so this was the reason.

He accepted the truth that the long-haired girl was his beautiful roommate without any reservation, even thinking belatedly that what he first found beautiful were Pei Yisheng’s legs and feet.

“Pei Yisheng, have you seen a long-haired girl? Chestnut, slightly wavy long hair, very tall, wearing a white short skirt, and very beautiful?” Qin Zhou closed in until his face was almost touching Pei Yisheng’s. “Hmm?”

This was the image Qin Zhou had reviewed countless times. He had mentally traced it again and again, almost resorting to having someone draw it for him to aid his search. Afterward, he had looked for that car, but the school’s surveillance was too poor, and the license plate was completely obscured in the rainy night. Going outside the school to search would be too much of a commotion, and Qin Zhou hadn’t been desperate enough for that.

Now, it truly came without effort.

Pei Yisheng felt Qin Zhou’s high nose bridge pressing against his cheek and dodged uncomfortably. The next second, Qin Zhou locked his waist, turned his chin back, and affectionately rubbed their noses together.

Pei Yisheng’s temper flared up. He bit his lip and said defiantly, “No, I didn’t see anything, I don’t know.”

He pressed his palms against Qin Zhou’s chest and pushed hard, but couldn’t move him.

Qin Zhou deliberately flexed his chest muscles, making Pei Yisheng angrily turn his face away and rebuke him with false bravado, “What are you doing, you hooligan!”

“Is that so? But aren’t you a boy? How is this being a hooligan? These are your own hands that reached out, I didn’t force you.” Qin Zhou’s lips curved into a clear arc. He clearly enjoyed Pei Yisheng’s pitiful helplessness. Even when Pei Yisheng called him a hooligan, Qin Zhou accepted it with an indifferent smile.

Pei Yisheng’s mind was as dull as burnt paste. He couldn’t curse him out, and he couldn’t run away. Qin Zhou’s hands had circled around him the moment he tried to escape. Aside from pounding Qin Zhou and hurting his own hands, he was completely powerless to resist.

No wonder Qin Zhou could be an outlaw in the original plot—his combat strength was too damn high.

“Look closely, I’m a boy! The person you’re looking for isn’t here!”

Qin Zhou nodded, repeating his search criteria. “Then may I ask if you have seen a beautiful boy, on the last rainy night of the year, wearing a white tiered short skirt, who snuck into our dorm?”

“…” Pei Yisheng glared at him angrily.

Qin Zhou chuckled softly, leaning close to Pei Yisheng’s ear. He stared at the increasingly red earlobe, desperately restraining the urge to kiss it, and threatened him with a low, pleasant voice, “You don’t want everyone to know, do you?”

Pei Yisheng continued to glare at him furiously. What nonsense was this? What did he have that couldn’t be seen by others!

Qin Zhou seemed to hear his silent protest and feigned surprise. “Is that so? Then why are you changing clothes secretly? You were dressed so beautifully, why hide it?”

It was as if he had triggered some incredible mechanism. He pressed against Pei Yisheng’s earlobe, which was red like jade, and bit it. Before Pei Yisheng’s palm could strike, he maintained a perfect safe distance.

Staring at the fingers that swept past his nose, Qin Zhou subtly took a deep breath and asked with a smile, “Why is that, exactly?”
