After the Cold School Heartthrob Took an Interest in Me Cross-Dressing

■ Sweet romance | Pursuer chases the pursued | Tense flirtation | Falling for each other without realizing it

■ A gorgeous design student who flirts without knowing it X a cool, jealous art student and campus heartthrob

Ye Subai is a design student at Jiangdu University. Fair-skinned and pure-looking, with a slim waist, long legs, and a perfect figure, he's a moderately popular fashion influencer online. He effortlessly pulls off all kinds of feminine outfits, especially JK uniforms and Lolita dresses. With his polished, alluring videos, he has gained countless followers without ever showing his face, and every one of his outfit recommendation videos goes viral.

To make it easier to go out and film, he rented a spacious duplex apartment off campus with a roommate.

That roommate was Ji Jinnian.

Ji Jinnian is the most handsome student in the art department next door. Talented and from a wealthy family, he founded his own studio at a young age. Handsome, aloof, and self-possessed, he keeps everyone at arm's length.

On the first day he moved into the apartment, Ye Subai put his dresses at the very back of the walk-in closet. He never wore them in public except when filming or livestreaming. After all, hardly anyone around him knew who he really was.

The apartment was spacious enough that the two of them rarely ran into each other.

Ji Jinnian had no chance of finding out about it, either.

Until Ye Subai accidentally sent Ji Jinnian a leg-baring photo meant for his assistant.

Ye Subai: [Sweetheart, cutout maid dress.jpg]

Ye Subai: [Is this showing a little too much?]

A long while passed.

Ji Jinnian: [No. It looks great.]

Ahhh!!!

By the time Ye Subai realized what he'd done, it was too late to unsend it!

Ye Subai, feeling guilty: [QAQ This is a reference image for my fashion design class.]

Ji Jinnian: [Mm.]

-

After that, Ye Subai became even more careful.

But when you live under the same roof, accidents are bound to happen.

One day, Ye Subai had just finished livestreaming when he ran into Ji Jinnian, who had suddenly come home.

They stared at each other in the living room.

The atmosphere froze.

Ahhhhh!!!

There's no hiding it now!

Ye Subai clutched his skirt, his heart sinking as he asked in a trembling voice, "If I say this is an assignment for my fashion design class, will you believe me?"

Ji Jinnian glanced at him coolly. "Mm."

Ye Subai thought the matter was over.

His roommate didn't seem like the nosy, curious type.

But no one knew that Ji Jinnian, who seemed so aloof and restrained, was actually a bona fide leg-and-waist enthusiast. Even he hadn't realized it that day, but his heart had started pounding uncontrollably, and it took a long time to settle down...

-

Recently, an active account had started showing up in Ye Subai's comments.

In just a few days, it had shot to the top of the livestream leaderboard.

And this was a livestream where he recommended and sold clothes!

After they added each other privately:

[Did your new dress arrive?]

[Wear it just for me.]

[Turn down that suggestive ad.]

[Transfer pending | 100,000.00 yuan | Note: Voluntary gift]

[Su Su, are you free to go out for dinner today?]

The top donor didn't say much, but he spent money like it was nothing. Ye Subai had never encountered anything like this.

Flustered, he awkwardly tried to turn him down, saying he had a shoot scheduled.

But that night, after attending a birthday party at a bar, Ye Subai was brought home by a friend, reeking of alcohol.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Ji Jinnian in the entryway. He should have been asleep, but his expression was unreadable, his eyes filled with an intense possessiveness unlike anything Ye Subai had ever seen before.

"Subai, didn't we agree not to bring outsiders home?"

-

Later on.

Ye Subai clutched the lace-trimmed skirt, his eyes reddened as if soaked in water. Standing in front of a canvas, he was too embarrassed to raise his head. "Just this once... please?"

"Mm." Ji Jinnian lifted his eyes. His long, pale fingers held a paintbrush, and his gaze slowly traveled over Ye Subai. His voice was cool but cruel. "Baby, why are you trembling? Life models aren't supposed to move around."

Reader's guide:

1. A very sweet couple, one-on-one, both chaste, happy ending, modern alternate setting, fictional story.

2. This idea came from a note in my phone. Just for fun, so feel free to skim it~
