Ruan Yan happened to be wearing that green dress today, with a large green bow at the collar.
He went to find Chu Nan after changing clothes, swaying unsteadily as he walked over, calling out softly, “Chu Nan…”
Chu Nan was sitting in his seat, and upon hearing the voice, he felt a shiver of pleasure run through his body.
He couldn’t help but doubt his previous deafness. Ruan Yan… when dressing up as Ran Yan, his voice wasn’t actually very different. It was just that he softened his originally cold and indifferent voice a bit more, and added a slight raise to the tone at the end, which was incredibly charming.
Chu Nan cleared his throat, “…Yan Yan.”
Because Ruan Yan was wearing women’s clothing, he completely lost his previous aloof and arrogant demeanor. Furrowing his brows, he said softly, “Chu Nan, I was almost bullied just now. I was so scared.”
Chu Nan’s throat moved. So, all that calmness earlier was just an act? And now, he’s dressed up as a girl, coming to him for comfort?
It had been several days since Chu Nan had been close to Ran Yan. Now that his beloved was by his side, he felt a sense of urgency.
Chu Nan reached out his hand and said hoarsely, “Yan Yan, who bullied you?”
He wanted to pat Ruan Yan’s head, but Ruan Yan dodged.
Ruan Yan felt extremely embarrassed inside. It was shameful enough to come to Chu Nan out of fear, and Chu Nan comforting him with a few words was enough. There was no need for any physical contact.
Chu Nan’s fingertips fell empty, and he narrowed his eyes, not wanting to miss the opportunity Ruan Yan was offering him.
“Yan Yan, come here. Don’t you want me to comfort you?” He intentionally dressed up like this; he must want some comfort.
Ran Yan blushed, “You can comfort me verbally, but no touching. I… Ruan Yan doesn’t want me to have too much contact with you.”
Chu Nan: …
He smiled somewhat cryptically. “Yan Yan, do you know that the way you say it, if it weren’t for a certain reason, Ruan Yan would have been beaten to death by me.”
Ran Yan tensed up and coquettishly said, “Really? I heard that Ruan Yan has been practicing boxing recently, and his flexibility and strength have improved greatly. Maybe, you won’t be able to beat him anymore.”
Flexibility and strength have greatly improved… Chu Nan couldn’t take his eyes off Ruan Yan. With a neck as slender as a swan’s and delicate collarbones against flawless skin, he exuded a sense of fragility. Chu Nan was afraid that with just a light touch, Ruan Yan would break. But now, Ruan Yan was saying that his flexibility and strength had greatly improved… Maybe he wouldn’t break so easily.
So, to what extent would he have to go before Yan Yan couldn’t take it anymore?
Lost in his thoughts, Chu Nan couldn’t help himself, “Yan Yan, come closer, sit on my lap.”
Ruan Yan didn’t want to sit on Chu Nan’s lap in the dress he was wearing. “I already told you, Ruan Yan wouldn’t be happy.”
Chu Nan’s gaze darkened. “He wouldn’t be happy… Then, do you want him to comfort you?”
Can you comfort yourself, or even coax yourself?
Ruan Yan didn’t say anything, and Chu Nan tempted him again, “We’ve only been apart for a few days. I don’t believe you’re officially together with Ruan Yan. Yan Yan, come sit on my lap, let me comfort you.”
His tone was low, full of indulgence. “With me here, no one can hurt you. When Ruan Yan was attacked before, didn’t I save him?”

As soon as he mentioned his past attack, Ruan Yan’s heart stirred.

The two were very close.
Ruan Yan’s face gradually reddened, and Chu Nan’s throat felt dry.
Chu Nan deliberately tried to divert his attention. “Yan Yan, why do you keep pulling your skirt?”
Ruan Yan thought, of course, it’s because I’m afraid it might accidentally ride up, and then you’ll find out I’m packing more than you are.
He obediently said, “Chu Nan, you’re bad. Girls pull their skirts to prevent them from riding up. Why are you asking such a silly question, you bad person!”
Chu Nan was exhilarated by the scolding, the thought of whether Yan Yan was a boy or a girl once again rising.
Whenever Ruan Yan spoke, the large bow at his collar trembled along with his voice, dazzling Chu Nan’s eyes and stirring his blood.
Honestly, Chu Nan couldn’t handle seeing Ruan Yan’s large bow every time.
But based on previous experiences, he could only stare at Ruan Yan’s back…
He couldn’t look at anything else directly.
But Chu Nan thought Ruan Yan looked really good in a skirt. He also hoped that in the future, Ruan Yan could wear sailor suits, skirts…
But Ruan Yan was a boy. If he realized it while looking, it probably wouldn’t work out.
Suddenly, Chu Nan’s heart shook. He still wasn’t sure if Ruan Yan was a boy or a girl. Although there was a ninety percent chance he was a boy, there was still a ten percent chance he was a girl.
No, he had to ask.
Chu Nan hinted, “Yan Yan, how much do you weigh?”
Ruan Yan nestled in Chu Nan’s arms, dissatisfied. “Chu Nan, why are you asking a girl’s weight?”
He was a man, weighing around 120 pounds. Saying it out loud might scare Chu Nan.
After all, he looked delicate and fragile in women’s clothes, probably not exceeding 90 pounds.
Chu Nan fell silent. Ruan Yan was avoiding the topic again, making it difficult for him to understand.
Chu Nan felt the urge to console Ruan Yan, but he also wanted to know, what if he was really a girl? Would his reaction be so intense?
It was daytime now, and Chu Nan was afraid that if someone passed by and saw Ruan Yan’s legs, they would pull him down. He said in a deep voice, “Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Ruan Yan glanced at him. “Apologize!”
Chu Nan: … He never admitted it. Did he have to reveal his identity before he would tell the truth?
Chu Nan thought about it. While comforting Ran Yan, he took out his phone and called Ruan Yan’s phone.
Ruan Yan’s phone in his bag suddenly vibrated, startling him.
Chu Nan said, “I’ll call Ruan Yan and tell him not to bother you.”
“Hmm? Yan Yan, why do you look so strange?”
Ruan Yan pressed his phone, unable to speak.
Since Chu Nan couldn’t hear the vibration of the phone, he just had to wait for Chu Nan to hang up the phone.
But Chu Nan didn’t let him off the hook. He reached out and held Ruan Yan’s hand. “Yan Yan, why are your hands shaking?”
Chu Nan felt the phone vibrate and deliberately said, “Your phone rang. Why didn’t you pick it up?”
If he picked it up, there wouldn’t be you, there would only be Ruan Yan, the one I’m trying to kill.
Ruan Yan thought about how to get through this crisis and quickly came up with a plan. He nervously said, almost tearing up, “Chu Nan, you’ve changed… You’re with me, but you’re still talking to others on the phone. I don’t want to answer anyone’s calls!”
After saying that, he acted as if he couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly took out his ringing phone and slammed it to the ground.
The phone broke, so there was no need to answer calls anymore.
After dealing with the troublesome phone, Ruan Yan looked at Chu Nan with teary eyes, looking pitiful and innocent, while the phone’s remains lay quietly on the ground.
Chu Nan: …
This guy is too much!
Chu Nan sighed, “Yan Yan, you’re really clever. Although a bit fierce, you’re really cute.”
A bit fierce?
Ruan Yan was now on high alert: “You’re not going to say I’m fierce like a boy again, are you?”
Ruan Yan wondered, what evidence could “prove” that he was a girl?
Ruan Yan furrowed his brows gently and weakly: “Um… no, Chu Nan, my stomach hurts a bit.”
Chu Nan, nervous: “What’s wrong?”
Ruan Yan: “It’s my period.”
Chu Nan: …
He cautiously said, “Didn’t you just have your period a few days ago?”
Ruan Yan, expressionless: “Who told you that a period only lasts a few days? Mine lasts for more than a week. Hurry and buy pads.”
He jumped off Chu Nan’s lap, pulling him along to the supermarket.
Among the myriad of products in the supermarket, Ruan Yan trembled as he picked up a particular brand of pads. He felt ashamed, but he had to act calm. Chu Nan was beside him, so he couldn’t afford to be embarrassed.
The cashier auntie thought he was a young girl just starting her period, and kindly advised, “Dear, the ones you’ve picked are overnight extra-long pads. These are too thick. Buy some regular ones and overnight ones. One pack of overnight extra-long pads should be enough. How much do you usually lose?”
Sorry, I don’t usually lose any blood.
“How much?” Ruan Yan was at a loss, but because Chu Nan was there, he had to act like he knew what he was doing, gesturing confidently, “About 50ml.”
Chu Nan: Pfft…
He knew it was Ruan Yan’s habit, a bit stubborn, always wanting precise data.
But seriously, a period? Did he even measure it?
Chu Nan suspected that Ruan Yan was indeed a boy even more.
The cashier auntie chuckled, “You’re such a jokester, dear.”
She chose several packs for Ruan Yan based on the average, and Ruan Yan went to pay.
After paying, Ruan Yan decided to deliver the final blow, “I’m going to change now.”
Chu Nan looked weird, “Can you change?”
“Otherwise?” Ruan Yan said coldly. He nervously grabbed the unfamiliar item, “You watch the bathroom door, don’t let anyone in. I’m shy!”
Chu Nan: “…Sure.”
Ruan Yan went in bravely, carefully read the instructions, and felt it was better to change, or else his walking posture would be too relaxed, and Chu Nan would notice.
He shed a few tears in the bathroom, and after changing, he came out. As soon as he came out, Ruan Yan couldn’t hold back anymore and said to Chu Nan, “Chu Nan, it’s weird… I can’t walk properly now.”
It’s all because Chu Nan said he looked like a man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be like this!
Ruan Yan shed a tear again, “Chu Nan, you jerk, you said I look like a boy. What boy has a period?”
Chu Nan: …
He comforted the crying Ran Yan and said, “It’s all my fault. Yan Yan, your skin is so fair and tender, your voice is so soft and sweet, and you’re so beautiful. You can’t be a boy. You’re having trouble walking, so I’ll carry you.”
Ruan Yan agreed sadly.
Although “can’t be a boy” wasn’t a good choice of words, he couldn’t argue.
Chu Nan felt sorry for the crying Ruan Yan, but he had to continue to press him.
It wasn’t possible to let him keep deceiving himself like this. Ruan Yan couldn’t keep pretending every time.
Thanks for the chapter. I’ve been binging this and literally LOLed several times.
I literally keep laughing out loud and giggling. I love them so much
