I'm a Man

Wang Yun brought Su Qi, who had been discovered cross-dressing without even realizing it, to her own residence.

It was on the fifteenth floor. Once she unlocked the electronic lock and opened the door, the morning sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making everything before them seem bright.

After taking off her shoes, Su Qi followed Wang Yun inside and looked around the room.

The room was filled with a feminine fragrance and kept very tidy. Even the bottles and jars on the vanity were arranged neatly.

This was Su Qi's first time entering a woman's room, and she found it quite novel.

She stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, taking in the bird's-eye view and broad vista below—things one could never experience on flat ground. She could not help looking a little longer.

In Wang Yun's eyes, she was just an inexperienced college student who had yet to leave the nest.

Every gesture carried a certain immaturity.

Su Qi checked the facilities. The washing machine, water heater, air conditioner, and internet were all in good condition. Since the place belonged to its original owner, there was not much damage either. The nicely furnished apartment immediately put her in a better mood.

"How is it? Satisfied?" Wang Yun looked at Su Qi's pleased expression, especially those eyes, as though they held autumn waters within them—clear and moist, pure yet alluring, making her whole person seem to sparkle.

It was as if satisfaction had been written all over her face. With a personality like that, she would probably suffer losses once she entered society!

Still, since she was a college student renting a place, her family conditions were probably decent. Once she entered society, perhaps she would marry and have children right away, becoming a wealthy housewife. That was what Wang Yun thought.

Meanwhile, Su Qi was conflicted over the price. Downstairs, Wang Yun had quoted 2,800 yuan a month, which Su Qi felt she could accept.

But according to what Wang Dongxu had said before, the listed price could still be negotiated down when speaking with the landlord! So she lowered her voice and asked, "Landlady, could the price be a little cheaper?"

What was with that? Wang Yun had wanted to hear Su Qi's distinctive voice, so why was this girl lowering her voice again!?

Still, when it came to the price, Wang Yun was not actually short on money! This was the first property she had bought after entering society, but lately she had felt it was too small, so she had taken out a loan to buy a bigger one. That was why she wanted to rent this place out.

Quite a few people had come to view the apartment these past few days, but most of them had been men. Their intentions were obvious. Wang Yun understood that young people wanted their own special kind of romance, but she could not accept it. She was single and did not even have a partner herself, yet these college students wanted to show off their affection in her apartment?

Absolutely not!

But this little girl today looked like the clean type. Though she looked a little strange, she definitely would not trash the apartment too badly.

So she asked a question that shattered Su Qi's worldview:

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ma'am, I'm a man!" With her gender being questioned, Su Qi forgot to lower her voice. The words came out before she could think.

A clear, oriole-like voice, sharp and distinctly feminine, emerged from her lips.

Wang Yun, standing opposite her, could not help covering her cherry-colored lips with her soft hand. Her phoenix eyes narrowed as she smiled sweetly. "Mm, you're a man. I believe you!"

Looking at her expression, Su Qi felt that if Wang Yun truly believed her, then ghosts must exist!

Wang Yun only felt that the little girl before her was far too adorable. Seeing her angry made Wang Yun want to pull her into her arms and rub her vigorously.

She claimed she was a man, yet she did not even have an Adam's apple. Her skin was softer than Wang Yun's, and she even wore perfume.

Even women disguising themselves as men in period dramas would not dare act this badly, okay?

"It's good that you don't have a boyfriend. Then I'll lower the price a little more for you. How about 2,500 a month? One month's deposit, three months' rent. Is that okay?" Wang Yun said.

Su Qi did the math. It was within the range she could accept, and three months later would be summer vacation. By then, who knew what she would become? She would rent it for three months first!

"Okay! But can I move in today?" Su Qi looked toward the apartment, which was full of signs of daily life. It did not seem likely that its owner could move out immediately.

"This..." Wang Yun had not expected Su Qi to be in such a hurry. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Like Su Qi, she looked toward her own beloved nest, filled with the warmth of everyday life.

Su Qi could see Wang Yun's helplessness too. She considered staying in a hotel for a couple of days, but hotels required real-name registration and facial recognition. She did not know whether her current face could still pass.

Better forget it. As for returning to the dorm... no, no. Her roommates' eyes had practically turned green. Just thinking about it made her shudder. What should she do?

Wang Yun's lively eyes turned as she came up with a good idea. "How about you stay here tonight? I'll move out tomorrow. Don't worry, these two days won't count toward your rental period, okay?"

"Ma'am, I'm a man! It wouldn't be appropriate for a man and a woman to live together, would it? We aren't a couple." Su Qi said awkwardly.

The woman before her was another gentle, girl-next-door older-sister type. In truth, that was Su Qi's favorite style. She had a bit of an older-sister complex and loved this sort of gentle persona.

When Wang Yun heard Su Qi insist again that she was a man, she nearly rolled her eyes. But then another thought occurred to her: would such a pretty, appetizing man taste good?

"It's fine. I don't mind, so why are you, a grown man, hesitating? What, are you afraid I'll force myself on you?" Wang Yun teased.

Su Qi did not know what else to say. The older sister did not mind, so what was she being polite for? Besides, the room was filled with Wang Yun's fragrance, and Su Qi found it very comforting.

"Then shall we sign the contract now?" Su Qi asked Wang Yun.

Wang Yun waved her hand, signaling for her not to rush. Since today and tomorrow did not count as part of the contract anyway, there was no need to hurry.

"I'll take a shower first. You can entertain yourself in the apartment!" After exercising, Wang Yun felt sticky all over. Since she had some free time now, she would follow her usual routine: shower after morning exercise, then eat breakfast and head to work full of energy.

Listening to the shower's rushing sound, Su Qi could not help imagining Wang Yun's overly mature fruits. She even pictured droplets of water sliding across them.

So this was the excitement netizens talked about when waiting for one's girlfriend to finish showering?

Wang Yun hummed a tune as she thought about calling her cheap cousin over tomorrow morning to help move. That girl was always freeloading food and drinks here, so this time she had to contribute some labor!

Then Wang Yun thought of Su Qi's stubborn expression as she desperately pretended to be a man. She wondered whether her cousin would also snicker when she saw this child tomorrow.

In fact, her cousin was currently in the QQ Group, watching a group of veterans make friendly remarks.

Player 1: If the group owner wears women's clothes, I strongly recommend my wife Rem.

Player 2: Yowane is the eternal GOAT.

Player 3: Poor little Mi Yu is my favorite.

In fact, Wang Zijin had already infiltrated Su Qi's inner circle. Just last night, she had finally learned exactly what kind of game Su Qi had designed.

While still reeling in shock, she bought it and downloaded it herself. After playing for an hour with her face flushed red, she had to admit that the game was both embarrassingly stimulating and genuinely fun.
