Face-Slapping the School Heartthrob and Student Council President (7)

Editor: ghost

Yang He took a step back and looked at Zhou Xu innocently, “Little Xu, can’t you be a little more gentle?”

“Your thing poked me and you want me to be gentler?” Zhou Xu asked, “Then how do you want me to say it? Excuse me, your little brother is hard, please move away?”

Yang He was rendered speechless by Zhou Xu’s words. He leaned on his office desk, leisurely crossing his legs. The place that was sticking out could no longer be seen.

“Little Xu, when you found out I was Jia Bei, were you very shocked, very envious and felt like worshipping me?”

Zhou Xu ignored him and looked at the designs hung up in the office, “This design, your words are too big. It would be more balanced if you made them smaller.”

Yang He looked at the image. It was a print design for a certain perfume brand’s advertisement. The perfume’s name was deepened for emphasis and a key part of the name was enlarged. With some layering, the image was made enchanting, attracting eyes from afar.

It was the first work Yang He designed after opening his own design company and had earned him millions of yuan. In addition, a year ago, this image could be seen almost everywhere in the city. In some large department stores, the advertisement was even made the largest, hung up on the wall outside the store.

Yang He shook his head after hearing Zhou Xu’s words and took out a pen, pointing at the word Zhou Xu talked about, “Little Xu, this is a promotional advertisement, meaning, it was already decided how it should look like. This is the company’s new product hence they wanted the advertisement to embody the “new” of the product. This can be done through the picture and the text. Indeed, in this image, that word looks like it has some problems, however after you enlarge it by ten or a hundred times? This would no longer be a problem and become the work’s highlight.”

Zhou Xu leaned on Yang He and listened to him continue his explanation, “Actually, when I accepted the commission, I didn’t know that they would use my design as the main advertisement for the shopping districts. However, I understood this company’s practices hence on the design…”

Slightly turning his head, Zhou Xu could see Yang He’s Adam’s apple moving, exuding sex appeal. He did not have much facial hair and it was shaved very cleanly hence when they kissed it did not feel scratchy. His skin was very good too; it had a kind of special lustre, not fair but not dark either. His lips were just the right thickness, his nose bridge was high, his eyes had spirit, his eyelashes were long and curled and his forehead was smooth… His entire person seemed to be radiating light.

Quietly turning his head to its original position, Zhou Xu thought, this should be what people often said: earnest and serious men were the most handsome.

Yang He finished what he wanted to say then looked at Zhou Xu, “Do you understand now?”

Zhou Xu smiled, “I understand.”

“Then you didn’t come here for nothing.”

“Is your thing soft already? If so then let’s go eat a meal.”

The handsome appearance just now seemed to shrivel up in an instant. Yang He said, “Little Xu, you really can’t be a bit gentler? It’s not like I’m like this when I see anyone–only when I see you.”

Zhou Xu ignored him, “Is it soft? If it is then we’ll eat together, otherwise I’ll eat alone.”

“It’s soft.”

Zhou Xu could not hold back his laughter, “This means that you didn’t use that place to think when you designed the advertisement. Not bad.”

Yang He went to his desk to take his wallet and car keys. He spoke while walking, “Who would use that place to think? When I was explaining to you, it already softened.”

Lowering his head, Zhou Xu could not hold back his laughter.

The two went to a top class French restaurant. Yang He wanted to leave Zhou Xu the impression that he was wealthy and could support Zhou Xu. Even if Zhou Xu did nothing, he could just be supported financially by Yang He.

Zhou Xu was quite speechless upon hearing Yang He. Clearly it was quite a romantic matter, but Yang He’s words made it seem to have not one bit of sentiment.

During the meal Zhou Xu did not ask anything, but Yang He confessed everything: when he set up the design company, how much he earned in a month and even why he hid the matter from Zhou Xu, among other things.

Zhou Xu waited for his to finish before saying, “The food is getting cold.”

Actually, it was impossible that Zhou Xu did not care one bit. However, since Yang He was so honest, Zhou Xu did not want to fuss over the matter. In addition, after saying his monthly revenue, he straight-forwardly handed over his bankbook. Although Zhou Xu did not want nor need it, this at least showed Yang He’s heart and that was enough.

After the meal, Yang He asked for Zhou Xu’s help in the office. Zhou Xu agreed after some thought. Since it was the designing industry, work experience was very important.

Yang He immediately gave Zhou Xu a request. Zhou Xu looked at the requirements, then decided to go back and first try it out.

A few days after returning to school, Zhou Xu actually started organising the crossdressing club and recruiting members. This greatly confused You Luoqi and Chang Shaojun.

Lu Zhongban laoshi approved of the club’s formation request and became their advisor. He also conveniently assigned the club to an activity room next to the cosplay club.

Teacher Lu Zhongban was indeed hard at work. After the crossdressing club’s formation and approval from the school, he decided to organise a crossdressing beauty contest. This competition was open to both genders, only that the boys would have to crossdress and wear girls’ clothing and vice versa for the girls. At the end, the two groups would be judged separately.

This news blew up on the school’s intranet. A few days after registration started, the news was stirring mainstream websites. There were even many media outlets that came. Hence from a minor matter, the school had no choice but to put emphasis on the matter and a committee was put in place to manage the event.

Afterwards, the school administration even gave the crossdressing club a large sum of funds for the event and the Student Council had to do their utmost to cooperate. In addition, there were various prizes for the prizewinners and even participants received a participation gift.

The encouragement from the school let the activity quickly occupy Wei Bo and a few days later, it unexpectedly held a place on the hot search for a few days. This lead to more media outlets following the school.

It was a truly magnificent sight on the day of the competition. The sponsors of the event ranged from makeup to fashion and even drinks for on-site refreshments. All of them had big advertising plaques at the venue.

Many media outlets came to cover the event and conduct interviews. In addition, there was a celebrity that came as a judge on the panel. Of course, the celebrity was not some famous bigshot, but he was still a popular opera actor so it generated talking points and publicity for the event.

Zhou Xu’s classmates secretly signed him up for the contest. However, this was within Zhou Xu’s predictions. Furthermore, the same classmates even organised a fan club for him. Although it was a bit shameful, it at least showed that even if Zhou Xu crossdressed, he would not become different in their eyes.

Zhou Xu was comparatively skinnier so it was not too unnatural for him to wear a dress. In addition, Zhou Xu’s features leaned to the gentle and lovely side thus the makeup artist had an easy time applying makeup on him. There was just one small problem: the makeup artist wanted to strip the hair off Zhou Xu’s arms and legs. The underarm naturally should be clean too.

The hair at the leg and arm areas were still alright, but for the underarm, the makeup artist used a honey wax. In other words, putting honey on the underarm hair before finding a piece of paper to stick on it. When the paper was torn out, the honey and hair would be pulled out together.

Zhou Xu’s classmates watched from behind him. Zhou Xu quietly waited. When the makeup artist really suddenly tore off the paper, Zhou Xu’s eyes watered at that instant.

Too painful!

After that, Zhou Xu immediately turned his head to the students looking at him and emphasised each word as he said, “Like you said, it’s not painful at all!”

The students either looked at the sky or the ground; that tearing sound was really painful-sounding.

Zhou Xu was waxed many times before the underarm was completely clean of hair. Afterwards, he went to the toilet and quietly wiped away the tears in his eyes before coming out. This pain was unavoidable and this fact made Zhou Xu all the more upset.

In organising this activity, the Student Council was of tremendous help. However this was the work of the publicity department and organising committee. As the president, Chang Shaojun disdained to participate in the matter while You Luoqi originally did not like and could not accept liking people who crossdressed.

You Luoqi and Chang Shaojun were the same: they did not like crossdressers. However, because he liked Zhou Xu, You Luoqi still came to watch the competition but Chang Shaojun did not.

The competition proceeded very smoothly. Zhou Xu was the last contestant to go on stage. He wore a white dress that fluttered, making him look like a fairy maiden. Adding his long black hair, once he went on stage, everyone present was in a daze.

There were people who taught them how to walk, but Zhou Xu did not want to follow that way of walking. He slowly walked with light footsteps.

Just this simple method let his purity stand out amongst the crowd of seductive and sexy contestants.

Since this was a university, the students preferred pure beauties instead of sexy ones hence as a result, Zhou Xu was without a doubt first place.

You Luoqi who saw Zhou Xu’s appearance really did not dare close his eyes in that moment; he was afraid that he would not be able to see Zhou Xu’s beauty in the next second so he could not bear to blink.

In the end, as the president of the crossdressing association, Zhou Xu went up on stage to give a speech. He did not say much, only simply hoping that students who liked to crossdress participated, as well as for the audience to not discriminate against crossdressers.

Afterwards, some media outlets went to interview Zhou Xu and the champion of the female crossdressing competition. In the interview, the journalist asked about their sexuality. Zhou Xu smiled and answered, “As long as they treat me well and I like them, I don’t care whether the person is a male or a female.”

The other champion smiled brightly as she said, “Exactly. In this world, all love is the same, whether male or female, as long as there is love, I too don’t care about the gender of the other party.”

The two’s interview was broadcasted. Naturally Zhou Xu was exposed. However, Zhou Xu did not think that his parents had seen the programme.

Afterwards, Zhou Xu was still responsible for the clean up and wrap up of the event. At the same time, there were people who sought him out to join the crossdressing club. He was awfully busy and did not have time to think much hence when he finally returned to his dormitory, he was still a bit muddled when he picked up his parents’ call.

“Little Xu, it’s me, Dad.”

Zhou Xu was already very tired thus when he spoke, he sounded a bit weak and feeble, “Dad, how come you are still awake? It’s getting late”

“Little Xu ah, I’ve seen the television broadcast.”

Only now did Zhou Xu understand that the broadcast was possibly a live one hence his parents may already know that he liked women’s clothes.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu tried his best to calm down, “Dad, what did you see?”

“Little Xu, your grandfather, your mother and I thought for very long and feel that you’re right.”

“….” Zhou Xu purposely did not say anything. He guessed that his father was trying to let him calm down first.

“Little Xu ah, your mother and I did not care for you much since you were young. This is our mistake. Now that you are all grown up, we know a lot of things cannot be changed so Little Xu, if, I’m saying if you like being a girl, we… Ai, go ahead with the surgery, we support you. We have some money that should be enough for the surgery fees. We will take it that we have a daughter…”

This time Zhou Xu was truly silent. He did not know how familial love could be this big, but it was enough to let his steel heart soften.

He did not know how much determination had led to this phone call by his father and how much it took for him to accept that his son wanted to become female. However, he knew he did not understand much of this love that he had not experienced much.

Zhou Xu lightly coughed and used a gentle voice that he had not used in a long time to answer his father, “Dad, I don’t want to become a girl, I only feel like wearing girls’ clothing once in a while.”

Zhou Xu could hear his mother on the other end saying, “Damn, what are you crying about? Give the phone to me”. Afterwards, Zhou Xu heard his mother say to him, “Little Xu ah, don’t worry. In the future, if anyone dares to say anything about you, we will be behind your back.”

Zhou Xu smiled and replied, “Mum, thank you, and also I’m sorry.”

This time Zhou Xu heard his mother start to cry on the other side of the phone.

Quietly hanging up, Zhou Xu felt that he actually did not need to give the original host such a wonderful life; it only needed to be peaceful and quiet. Perhaps this was the best repayment to his parents and the original host.

After the call, Zhou Xu picked up another call. This time, it was Yang He.

Yang He laughed and joked for very long before suddenly saying, “Why is that when I see you in men’s clothing, I want to embrace you, but even in women’s clothing, I still want to embrace you. It must be that I love you as a person until my heart has gone crazy?”

Zhou Xu laughed along, but earnestly replied, “I also love you.”

He hung up. Yang He called again, but Zhou Xu did not pick up. He already knew Yang He’s tricks. Yang He definitely wanted to confirm, wanted to hear him say it again; he would give excuses like the wind was so loud that he did not hear Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu genuinely smiled. He was living very well in this world.

The dormitory’s lights were already switched off. Zhou Xu could only quietly wash up. However, just as he was washing his face, he felt his heart burst into sudden palpitation. He who had died a hundred times before was very certain that his instinct would never be wrong.

Quickly ducking, Zhou Xu turned his head and stepped to the side. He got up and saw a figure standing behind his original position.

“What are you planning to do?” Zhou Xu coldly asked.

You Luoqi looked at Zhou Xu. His eyes showed a kind of uncontrollable desire.

“I want to hug you, Zhou Xu. I like you, I really like you a lot.”
