My Girlfriend Can't Possibly Be This Cute [GB]

Cen Zhen is a woman.

She's 178 centimeters tall, with sharp, knife-cut features.

Growing up, the compliment she heard most often wasn't "You're so pretty," but:

"You're so handsome."

Cen Zhen takes it in stride and agrees. "Thanks. I think so too."

Her life plan was to get an ordinary job and keep being ordinarily handsome forever.

Then she went to a comic convention with a friend, casually filmed a video, and somehow became a minor sensation online.

The comments were unanimous:

"Sis, you're the ultimate male character."

"Please cosplay a male character. I'll get on my knees and beg you."

"That face would be wasted on anything but a male character."

Cen Zhen has always taken advice well.

That very night, she ordered everything: a wig, a chest binder, height-increasing insoles (even though she didn't need them), and a full men's outfit.

A month later,

Cen Zhen, the internet's newest incredibly handsome male-character cosplayer, made her triumphant debut.

He Siyu had just returned from abroad and hadn't even finished unpacking when a phone call from his mother left him stunned.

"Son, I've rented out the house. It's going to a nice girl who lives alone."

He Siyu froze. "Then where am I supposed to live?"

His mother was perfectly unapologetic. "She only rented one room. There's still another room in the house, isn't there? You can just live next door to her. The place is so big, it'd be a waste to leave it empty."

He Siyu opened his mouth, but before he could even say no, his mother waved him off with a flourish and left for her honeymoon with her new husband. Before she left, she added, "I've already talked to the girl. I can give her a discount on the rent, and she doesn't mind."

"From now on, I'm going off the grid. Don't look for me. If you disturb my honeymoon, you can forget you ever had a mother."

The call ended.

He Siyu stared at the words "Call ended" on his phone screen and sat in silence for a long time.

He was a severe social anxiety sufferer.

And now he had to share a home with a strange woman who lived alone...

It was the most terrifying thing in the world.

When Cen Zhen got home, she found a pair of shoes in the entryway that weren't hers.

They were pink-and-white Mary Janes, with round toes and bows, and they were a little too big.

He Siyu came out of his room wearing loungewear, his hair still a little damp, as if he'd just showered.

Cen Zhen asked casually, "Did you have a guest over?"

He Siyu paused, the tips of his ears slowly turning red.

"...Yeah. A friend."

He didn't dare tell her that this so-called "friend" was actually himself.

He'd just finished taking a set of photos and hadn't had time to put the shoes away.

Nobody knew... He Siyu secretly loved wearing dresses.

Cen Zhen didn't ask any more questions.

That night, she was scrolling online and came across new photos from her favorite lolita fashion blogger, Meng Zai. She noticed the background, the wall covered in blue wallpaper, was exactly the same as the one in the room next door.

Cen Zhen stared at the photo for a long time.

No way.

Could her favorite blogger be the friend of her housemate?

Things got worse.

Cen Zhen realized she had fallen for two people at the same time.

She thought she might like He Siyu. And she really liked Meng Zai too.

Cen Zhen thought she was doomed.

Every time He Siyu said a few extra words to her, her heart raced.

Every time Meng Zai sent her new photos in a private message, her heart raced too.

She even started comparing them:

Who did she want to see more today, He Siyu or Meng Zai?

The conclusion was:

A dead heat. Tied for first. She wanted them both.

But after observing them for several days, she began to suspect that Meng Zai was He Siyu's girlfriend.

Then she remembered that she wanted to have both a person and his girlfriend.

Then she fell silent for a long time.

Cen Zhen buried her face in her pillow and mumbled,

"Cen Zhen, you're done for."

Until one day, Cen Zhen noticed the small mole below Meng Zai's collarbone...

He Siyu had one below his collarbone too.

In exactly the same spot.

· The heroine really is handsome, and she really is narcissistic. Don't read if that's not your thing.

· The male lead cross-dresses, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing. He's older than the heroine, and they're about the same height. When she wears height-boosting shoes, she's taller than him.
