So Cute, Of Course I'm a Boy!

Li Xin's side.

She had already led Long Xiaogua up to the second floor.

They arrived at Nalan's office, but it was empty.

With nothing else to do, Li Xin leaned close to Long Xiaogua's ear, a mysterious look on her face, and lowered her voice.

"Little Haochen, should I call you little brother? Or little sister?"

Long Xiaogua had no idea what she meant and was instantly left utterly confused.

"Huh?"

Li Xin merely giggled and extended the "demonic claw" that Long Xiaogua would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Hehe, stop pretending. Back then, I disguised myself as a boy and ran away from home to sneak into the Knight Hall. Otherwise, they wouldn't readily accept girls like us.

"You're the same as your sister, aren't you? How could a boy possibly be as pretty as you?"

Long Xiaogua was startled by her actions.

Although he was experiencing the sort of "as long as you're handsome enough, the world is full of love" that countless people dreamed of.

This... this kind of proactively offered benefit left him completely dumbfounded.

The thick-nerved benefits girl, Li Xin, pulled his hand with one hand.

While confidently chatting away as if she had already seen through everything.

"But in a few more years, once you grow up too.

"It won't be so easy to hide this place, like your sister does."

Although Long Xiaogua still did not understand what those actions meant.

The words he had intended to use to protest that he was a boy got stuck in his throat.

His delicate little face had already turned bright red.

Soft and warm as jade!

Who could withstand that?

Ever since he could remember, he had never been this close to anyone, not even his own mother, Bai Yue!

More than a year of Long Xiaogua's hard-earned composure was shattered in an instant!

Shy, shy, shy Haochen!

Like the kind God of Death A'Dai, who only knew "steamed buns."

And Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu, who innocently asked, "Why is the Elf Queen so exaggerated, big sister?"

Pure beyond compare, with barely any scheming in his heart.

Yet Li Xin, the "benefits and valiant throne," chuckled as she pinched Long Xiaogua's burning little cheek.

While holding his hand...

She wore an expression that said, "Don't say anything, I understand it all," and said,

"Ah, you're so shy. Little sister, you're so cute!

"Don't worry. From now on, at our Haoyue Branch Hall, big sister will take good care of you."

Only then did Long Xiaogua react and hurriedly explain,

"Big sister, I'm actually a boy, not a little sister..."

The rush of blood to his head made his voice rather quiet.

"Hm?" Li Xin froze for a moment.

Then she asked in disbelief,

"You really are a boy?"

Long Xiaogua nodded desperately and pulled his hand back at the same time.

Like a child who had done something wrong, he retreated several steps and lowered his head.

After recovering from her blunder, benefits girl Li Xin said with some distress,

"But... why are your hands so soft? And why are you so pretty?

"I've suffered a loss here, little brother. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

She had originally been about to head out, but happened to see Long Xiaogua at the door.

At a single glance, she immediately thought of how she herself had once sneaked into the Knight Hall.

Her favorability toward Long Xiaogua instantly rose greatly, and she brought "her" inside.

That was how the whole series of ridiculous misunderstandings came about—misunderstanding's mother opened the door for misunderstanding, and misunderstanding was home!

Long Xiaogua lowered his head and honestly said,

"I... I don't know either."

At those words, Li Xin's face alternated between red and pale.

After thinking it over, she realized that she had been the one to take little Haochen's hand first.

At that moment, Li Xin's frustration was beyond description.

The one fortunate thing amid the misfortune...

Was that the boy before her looked to be only around ten years old.

Looking at Long Haochen, who was even shyer than she was, Li Xin said helplessly,

"All right, you little brat got lucky.

"But you have to keep this secret for me. You can't let anyone else know.

"From now on, I'm your big sister. It seems like it's no big deal for a big sister to touch her little brother a little."

(First floor muttering quietly: Give me a dozen big sisters like that!)

(Second floor snickering quietly: I'm your little brother too, big sister, come at me!!)

(...)

(The billionth floor shouting loudly: Don't be jealous. As long as you're handsome enough... or your physical face is thick enough, you can go for it too!)

With her peculiar train of thought, she quickly found herself a lousy excuse.

The fact that she had dared to sneak out from home and choose to become a female knight said enough about this girl's personality.

She no longer dwelled on this misunderstanding.

Of course, perhaps that was because Long Xiaogua was handsome.

Had it been someone else, she probably would have slapped him into the wall so hard he could not be pried back out.

But suddenly.

The sharp-sensed Li Xin turned her head and was the first to spot Long Fan standing at the doorway.

Long Fan was also hesitating over whether he should go in and rescue that innocent boy.

When he noticed Li Xin's gaze turning toward him, his heart tightened at once.

He gave an awkward, stiff smile.

"Hi, I'm here to take the Apprentice Knight assessment too."

Li Xin's pretty face instantly reddened by more than half.

She was so embarrassed she practically wanted to dig out an entire Knight Hall with her toes.

She slowly walked toward Long Fan, her pink-blue eyes blinking.

"Little brother, you heard all of that?"

Seeing Li Xin, who gave off the exact same vibe as Ma Xiaotao, Long Fan did not hide it and directly nodded.

He was already at the doorway. Claiming he had not heard anything would obviously be deceiving himself.

Li Xin, eighteen and blooming like a flower, slowly bent down. Looking at the handsome little boy, she smiled mysteriously.

"Then keep it a secret. From now on, you're my little brother too. But since I know you're a boy, touching you again definitely can't be another misunderstanding.

"Still, as the price for keeping quiet, this big sister can..."

Long Fan retreated again and again.

"No need, I'll keep it secret."

Long Fan backed straight out the door.

And just then.

A muffled, booming voice rang out at the most inopportune moment.

"Xiner, what are you doing here in my office?"

Li Xin's pretty face immediately flushed.

A massive social death scene!

It was simply embarrassment's father opening the door for embarrassment—embarrassment was home!!

Long Xiaogua and Long Fan both turned their heads to look.

They saw an enormous mass walking toward them.

At first glance, he looked like a miniature Behemoth.

At a closer look, good heavens, he was practically Zhu Ganglie himself!

This enormous figure was at least over two meters tall.

And he was absolutely the kind of fierce man who was eight feet tall with an eight-foot waist.

Square and solid.

Round enough that he did not need polishing.

Thud! Thud...

As he walked across the sturdy floor of the second story.

It felt as though the ground itself was trembling.

This fierce man was none other than the Haoyue Branch Hall's master, Nalan Shu.

His name sounded utterly ordinary, like a mere common son.

But he looked like a Master Chen who knew the Invincible Thunderbolt Vajra Lightning Palm!
