Chapter 21: Actually I'm bisexual

  "You, know me?" Cheng Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes.

  Mumu the little chicken nodded continuously, "En en en, I accompanied my boyfriend, Lu Zichuan, the vice president of the sports department, to the student union office when we met you..."

  Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Qiao interrupted her with a smile: "So you're Lu Zikuan's lovely girlfriend. He often mentions you. Can I have a word with you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about."

  Watching them walk out of the gate, Xiao Yu was a little shocked: "Xiao Qiao is actually still a member of the student council?"

  "I've heard that their school's students have high expectations for appearance," Haiying lightly tapped the table, "and it seems to be true."

  "Hey, our school's BBS has been circulating rumors that the student union president is notoriously a black-bellied strong attacker who loves weak and delicate bottoms," Xiao Yu said with a tense face. "Won't someone like Xiao Qiao have been devoured long ago?"

  "The sea cherry frowned: 'It shouldn't be, have you forgotten what he told us before?'"

  Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then slapped the table decisively: "Right, we should believe him!"

  A Sha looked thoughtfully at the figures outside the window who were chatting: "But Mu Mu's reaction seems to have been excessive, Xiao Qiao won't be a person like the vice president of the student union, will she?"

  ……

  Listening to their conversation, and recalling the various unusual behaviors of people and things around me since Qiao appeared, I felt more and more that something was off, a strong sense of unease began to spread in my heart.

  Waiting for them to come back, looking at Cheng Qiao's face with the same harmless smile as usual, and then looking at Mu Mu's appearance of being struck by lightning, I finally confirmed that I had smelled the existence of a conspiracy.

  "What did Mu Mu and Qiao say to you?" Xiao Yu was completely unaware that since they would avoid us, it meant this topic belonged to personal matters.

  "Just talk about... Motokawa," Momo focused her eyes for a moment, paused and said firmly, "Yes, that's right, talk about Motokawa!"

  My heart sank, and indeed it was so, the thing I least wanted to see still appeared.

  Xiao Yu said strangely: "Originally Xiao Qiao you and Lu Zikuan are so familiar, but how come he has never mentioned you?"

  Cheng Qiao blinked: "Oh, because he has such a lovely girlfriend, afraid I..."

  I stood up and coldly interrupted him: "Aqiao, that's enough!"

  Ignoring everyone's astonished gaze, I stared at Cheng Qiao in disappointment and said with a heavy heart: "I only now realize that you are such a calculating person. I never thought that your approach to us was just to pursue the person you like by any means necessary. You can actually go to this extent for your own selfish desires!"

  The smile on his face froze: "A Yao, you know everything? I didn't mean to deceive you, it's just that I couldn't do it..."

  I took a deep breath and continued to cut him off with a pained expression: "You know that society is very open now, but our minds are even more open than this society. Yes, it's okay if you like men, but how can you like the man who likes Miao Miao!"

  The scene fell into complete silence.

  Qiao Jing stared at me, her two beautiful eyebrows almost twisted into an "S" shape, and said word by word: "Do... you... know... I... like... men?"

  I made a face that didn't want to say anything more, turned my head to comfort MuMu, but found her expression even more disheveled than Cheng Qiao's: "Yao Yao you... what did you just say?"

  I sighed: "Mumu, don't be afraid. With us here, even if people from the 2D world came, they wouldn't be able to take away your Tsubasa."

  She suddenly had red eyes, and I just realized that MuMu was so easily moved. For a moment, my heart surged with emotions, and my thoughts were a thousand miles away. I stretched out my hand to hug her, but she dodged it and covered her face, shouting: "Ah... how embarrassing! I, I actually got so angry at Yaoyao that I wanted to cry! Are you guys leaving? I need to go back to school!"

  Others immediately picked up their bags and rushed to the door, amidst the noise I heard someone say in a tone of extreme disgust: "No way, no way, if I have to discuss emotional issues with this idiot again, I swear I'll never want to see her again!"

  My mind went blank and I stared at my hand still suspended in mid-air: "I... said something wrong?"

  Qiao said in a hushed tone, "A Yao, everyone else has an extraordinary skeletal system, but I feel that... your brain structure is more than a hundred times more extraordinary than the human skeletal system." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Fortunately, you're so extraordinary."

  I turned my head to look at him, his thin lips pursed into a good-looking arc, his expression still as innocent and pure as ever. The clarity and smile in his eyes made me calm down, I dryly laughed: "Well, you still like women, huh."

  He stared blankly, a smile spreading from the corners of his eyes to his eyebrows, curving them so that anyone looking at him couldn't help but curve their own: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, actually I'm bisexual."

  Maybe it's because I've been stimulated a bit too much lately, but I've started to like curling up at the counter and staring blankly, sometimes gazing at Auntie's profile and unconsciously falling into thoughts about "just how idle are third-year university students these days".

  Cheng Qiao has been coming to "Sweet Treats" frequently since he confessed to me that he's bisexual. He said it's because summer break is approaching and his courses are getting fewer, so he can only come here to kill time. I'm happy to have a free model, but the next day, Mu Mu complained to me that Lu Zikuan is busy with exams and doesn't even have time to eat with her. I naturally asked why Cheng Qiao is so idle, and after half a minute of silence, Mu Mu said sadly: "Cheng Qiao is not in the same league as our Zikuan."

  After sending off Mu Mu, I had mixed feelings. Previously, I also thought that Qiao might not be good at his studies, but I didn't expect him to be so bad. He's even worse than Lu Zichuan, a sports student who was admitted through special recruitment. Isn't he all red lights except for one green light?

  As I thought of this, I suddenly became concerned. When he sat across from me again to re-examine that day when he said he was bisexual just to make fun of me, I didn't use the truth "explanation is disguise, disguise is fact" to shut him up. Instead, I solemnly advised him: "Sexual orientation doesn't matter, dating isn't wrong either. Now for you, your studies are most important, so you absolutely can't ruin your future for a moment of indulgence! By the way, what major are you studying?"

  He looked bitter and sighed: "I really have to find a wife in the future."

  "Oh," I said with sudden realization, "you initially bought a large one, didn't you?"

  He looked at me deeply: "Right, go in through the back door."

  I also took a deep look at him, and indeed God also likes to create some works of art with contradictory appearances and inner qualities. I just don't know where this type of work of art has gone, if I could collect them all and line them up in front of me, making various poses... Quickly regaining my composure, I covered my hot nose and sternly looked at Cheng Qiao: "Even if your background is strong, you are still my friend, how can I let you waste your studies? How can I let you have the opportunity to be labeled as 'gold on the outside, rotten on the inside' in the future? Do you understand?"

  After saying these three unyielding reasons, I was shocked myself, a surge of heroic spirit rushed to my brain, and I decisively decided that no matter what, even if it takes force, I will send him back to school to prepare for the exam today.

  I thought he would retort a few words, but unexpectedly he stood up very obediently and said seriously: "Right, I must work hard, otherwise in the future my wife will be more capable than me and will run away with others."

  I curled up the corner of my mouth: "A college student's mind is full of nothing but his wife, you don't look like someone who would indulge in carnal desires."

  "Debauchery?" He looked at me with a mixture of surprise and amusement, then smiled broadly, "Well, you don't look like it."

  I remained silent, perhaps the innocent and obedient baby didn't know what indulgence was, so telling him this wasn't making a fuss over nothing? I also stood up, preparing to send him to the door, when my gaze inadvertently swept past the glass window outside, and unexpectedly discovered a long-lost figure.
