Chapter 60

Su Yuan's outfit today was still very fashionable. She put on her earphones, and her whole person exuded a refined aura.

"Hello, hello!" She adjusted the microphone by her mouth and tested the sound.

The screen displayed Su Yuan's appearance, and a girl's voice came from the earphones. Sitting in front of the computer, Mo Ying couldn't help but tightly grip the mouse on her right side, a faint smile on her face. "Didn't you say Su Yuan would chat with me? Why did you switch to a girl? Are you all planning to tease me together?"

Doubts swirled in her mind. Mo Ying smoothed a strand of hair by her ear, her black eyes fixed on the computer screen without blinking.

Although the video quality was severely distorted due to data conversion, one could still vaguely see the graceful features of the person in the frame. Now, Mo Ying wasn't worried that her "husband" was secretly dating other girls behind her back. What she was concerned about was why there was a girl in Dorm 330. Was she Ji Ye Hao's girlfriend or Gao Jun's girlfriend? As for Yang Xiaowei saying she was Su Yuan, Mo Ying didn't believe it at all. She remembered Su Yuan's appearance clearly, and upon closer inspection, the person on the screen did indeed have a few features similar to Su Yuan.

Could she have a sister?

"Su Yuan?" Mo Ying called out tentatively.

"Mm-hm."

Su Yuan had just put on her earphones and naturally responded when she heard Mo Ying's voice through the headphones.

Mo Ying was clearly stunned for a moment, her brain briefly freezing. Was this person really the Su Yuan she knew? Could it be her sister or something?

"Mo Ying, weren't you going to chat with me? Why aren't you speaking?"

"Who are you, and why are you trying to seduce my husband?!" Mo Ying pretended to be angry, a huge question mark rising in her heart.

"Ah! Ah?"

Mo Ying pursed her lips, feeling quite smug. "You're clearly a girl!"

A brief panic, Su Yuan almost bit her tongue, then argued, "I'm not a girl, I'm a boy!!"

"Lying, you must be trying to seduce my husband. What's your relationship with him?"

What was this all about? Although the situation was somewhat inexplicable, Su Yuan believed something must have gone wrong. If she had to guess, it was probably because of her appearance. As Mo Ying said, this situation was likely because she thought Su Yuan was a girl!

She inwardly groaned, wishing she hadn't video chatted with Yang Xiaowei's girlfriend. Su Yuan didn't want to cause a relationship crisis between Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying because of her. She quickly said, "I have no relationship with Yang Xiaowei. Look, we're in the dorm, Ye Hao and Gao Jun are here too." She then turned the camera.

"I don't believe it!!"

"..." Su Yuan knew some girls could be very stubborn.

"I really am a boy," she insisted.

"Then take off your shirt and let me see!" Mo Ying gradually revealed her true intentions.

Su Yuan knew it was hard to explain, and she even considered pretending to be her sister or something. But she quickly dismissed this idea, knowing that once she lied, things would only get more complicated.

"What, no words to say?"

Su Yuan propped her chin, thinking that taking off her shirt would only make things worse.

"Afraid to take it off, huh."

Yes, she was indeed afraid to take it off. Su Yuan had a sudden idea. She said, "How about I take off my pants and show you down there?"

No girl would be so bold. With such a bold move, Mo Ying would surely back off.

But—

"Sure, go ahead and take them off."

"Ah!" Sister, can you not be so bold? My husband is here! Su Yuan whispered, "There are other people here... it's not good."

"Hmph, you're afraid to take off your shirt, and it's not good to take off your pants. I knew you were afraid!" From the other person's various reactions, Mo Ying was more certain of her guess. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Boys have Adam's apples. If you don't want to take off your shirt, let me see your Adam's apple."

Adam's apple?

"Some boys don't have visible Adam's apples," Su Yuan said, feeling troubled. Mo Ying's words made her even more conflicted, as she didn't have a visible Adam's apple to begin with.

"Fine, fine, let Yang Xiaowei talk to me."

Su Yuan reluctantly handed back the earphones, declaring her defeat in this battle with Mo Ying! She had never realized Mo Ying could be so difficult to deal with. In Su Yuan's impression, Mo Ying was just a love-struck girl obsessed with Yang Xiaowei, not someone to worry about!

"How was it? What did you talk about with my wife?" Yang Xiaowei cheerfully sat back down.

Su Yuan pouted, thinking the content of their conversation would shock him! But... sigh! It was hard to explain.

She didn't know what Mo Ying later told Yang Xiaowei, but Su Yuan, who had been closely watching Yang Xiaowei's expression, didn't notice any abnormalities. It seemed Mo Ying hadn't mentioned anything about her!

...

...

In the South Campus, the girls' dormitory building.

Midday had passed, and the entire dormitory building was quiet. In the apartment-style dorm room, a delicate foot emerged from the end of the blanket. Xiao Yayan had just returned and, seeing Yan Bing still buried in sleep, couldn't help but smile. She went over and scratched her foot.

"Yan Sister, why are you disturbing my sleep?!" Yan Bing sat up, looking somewhat displeased at Xiao Yayan.

"Look at the time, it's already so late, and you're still sleeping. Get up and wash up, we're going to eat," Xiao Yayan urged.

"Oh," Yan Bing jumped out of bed naked. The temperature hadn't yet cooled, and she was only wearing a small bra covering her chest and a tiny pair of panties. She put on slippers and walked to the bathroom.

Xiao Yayan couldn't help but shake her head. "By the way, the school is about to hold a welcome party. Has your External Affairs Department made any moves?" she asked.

"Um, yes." With a mouth full of toothbrush, Yan Bing spoke indistinctly, rinsed her mouth, and opened her bright eyes. "This year's welcome party is combined with the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day celebrations. The Student Union has issued a notice, planning to hold it after the National Day holiday. It might be around mid-October."

"Mid-October?"

"Yes. The Cultural and Publicity Departments have already started preparing for the party. Didn't you know, Yan Sister?"

Xiao Yayan nodded quietly. Although she was a member of the Secretariat, she was also a class assistant for a freshman class, and had been so busy lately that she hadn't paid much attention to Student Union affairs.

Usually, the welcome party is held after the freshmen's military training, but this year seemed a bit special, combining the welcome party with the Mid-Autumn and National Day festivals.

"Oh! The news was just announced, so you must not have known, Yan Sister. Will you be performing on stage?" Yan Bing poked her head out, smiling.

"Yes, I can't avoid it."

Xiao Yayan gave a helpless expression. At the welcome party, it was usually the upperclassmen who performed, and as a campus beauty with multiple talents, Xiao Yayan was always a must-have at every party.

"But this year, it might not be a performance. They might ask me to host the party."

Yan Bing was surprised and delighted. "That would be great! Yan Sister hosting will definitely win a lot of applause!" She then added regretfully, "Originally, Minister Zuo wanted Minister Su to represent the External Affairs Department with a performance, but Minister Su said she couldn't perform and refused to go on stage!"

"You mean Su Yuan? What talents does she have?"

"I don't know. Minister Su is so low-key, no one in our department knows what she can do."

Xiao Yayan nodded in understanding. Mentioning Su Yuan, she felt a complex mix of emotions. Last time, using her as a shield was because she had a special regard for her. Su Yuan had left a good impression on Xiao Yayan, otherwise, with Xiao Yayan's personality, even if someone held a knife to her, she wouldn't have done it.

But after the incident, Xiao Yayan was quite regretful. Not for any particular reason, but first, even with Su Yuan as a shield, the persistent suitors, like Lin Jun, didn't back off. Second, Su Yuan's reputation was tarnished because of this. Xiao Yayan knew it was her fans who had spread the rumors, which made her both laugh and cry. Sometimes, these people were truly a headache.

Su Yuan became the center of gossip, and all sorts of negative rumors spread about her, affecting Xiao Yayan as well. It was truly a case of losing both the bride and the soldiers, a self-inflicted mess.

"Xiao Bing, what do you think of your Minister Su?"

"Minister Su?"

Yan Bing thought for a moment and said, "Very pretty."

Xiao Yayan laughed out loud. "Why do you use the word 'pretty' to describe Su Yuan? I mean, what's her character like?"

"She's a very nice person! No ulterior motives, easy to get along with."

So, besides being pretty, she's also a good person.
