Chapter 94: The Cannon Fodder in a Dogblood Novel (94)
The next day, Shen Tangqing had the middle shift.
He rarely suffered from insomnia, but last night he tossed and turned, not knowing when he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already eleven o’clock.
After washing up, he was too lazy to cook, planning to go downstairs to eat a bowl of chaoshou (wontons) to make do for a meal.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a person sitting in the stairwell with their head buried, seeming to be dozing off.
It seemed the sound of the door opening woke the other person up. The moment that person turned their head, Shen Tangqing was stunned.
He closed his eyes and looked at that person again in disbelief.
The next second, his mind was full of: Who am I? Where am I? Has this idiot Lin Mu gone crazy?
Seeing Shen Tangqing, Lin Mu stood up hurriedly. But perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were a bit numb. He almost fell when getting up too vigorously, luckily holding onto the handrail.
He patted the dust off his clothes somewhat awkwardly, then subconsciously tucked his hair.
“Shen Tangqing, are you going out?”
Shen Tangqing only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing violently. Why did this person always do such unreliable and absurd things? He was both angry and amused.
“Lin Mu, what are you doing?”
Lin Mu pursed his lips. A trace of thin red appeared on his fair face, even the tips of his ears were red. He clasped his hands in front of him, his voice revealing nervousness.
“Didn’t you say you like women? Actually, I look quite good in women’s clothing…”
After speaking, he looked up at Shen Tangqing, his eyes somewhat apprehensive. “Is it… acceptable?”
Shen Tangqing: …
Lin Mu was wearing a pale pink lace dress with a milky white trench coat over it, and wearing a big wavy wig. However, he was born with extremely exquisite bone structure and very fair skin; the pampered noble young master actually looked quite good in women’s clothing.
It was just that he was too tall, looking like a huge creature. After all, whose girl is over 1.8 meters tall?
Shen Tangqing’s tone was full of helplessness. “Lin Mu, are you an idiot? Does wearing women’s clothes make you a woman?”
Lin Mu pursed his lips.
“I just thought, if you like women, I would dress as a woman and pretend to be a woman…”
He gritted his back teeth after speaking, as if making a difficult decision.
“Shen Tangqing, actually… I’ve checked. That, with the lights off, it’s about the same…”
Lin Mu spoke this paragraph with difficulty, his voice in the last sentence suppressed extremely low.
“As long as you are willing to be with me, I can receive.”
After speaking, as if worried Shen Tangqing wouldn’t believe him, he added, “I am willing. I am willing to do anything for you.”
Shen Tangqing was truly exasperated! His face darkened instantly.
In what way did he look like a shou (bottom)? Is he sick?
“You f*cking wanted to be on top?” Shen Tangqing asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Mu shivered and waved his hands frantically.
“No, no. I… I can be your wife.”
“Lin Mu, I thought I made it clear enough to you. I’m not interested in you. Even if you wear women’s clothes, even if you become my wife, I’m not interested.”
Lin Mu’s face was pale for a moment.
Deceived by netizens again? Netizens couldn’t be this unreliable, right?
The hands hanging by his sides tightened. A moment later, he pulled a very forced smile.
“Shen Tangqing, just try it, okay? Actually, men and women are about the same. We can go to a hotel now. I don’t need you to take responsibility. Just give me one chance, I will…”
Before Lin Mu could finish, he was sharply interrupted by Shen Tangqing.
“Lin Mu.”
Lin Mu’s voice stopped abruptly. Like a child who did something wrong, he looked at Shen Tangqing helplessly.
“Lin Mu, from the gender aspect, it’s impossible between us, understand? If you really like men, I bless you to find a lover with the same orientation, but that person will absolutely not be me.”
With every sentence Shen Tangqing said, Lin Mu’s face paled a degree.
He didn’t want to stick to Shen Tangqing like a dogskin plaster either. But he didn’t want to give up. He liked Shen Tangqing too much. Liked him so much that for him, he could abandon dignity and all pride.
“Shen Tangqing, I don’t like men,” Lin Mu’s voice carried a choke, his eyes stubborn yet with a trace of despair. “I only like you…”
“But I don’t like you.” Shen Tangqing’s tone had no fluctuation, only extreme indifference. “Lin Mu, consider me begging you, can you stop pestering me?”
Lin Mu’s body trembled violently, and the eyes looking at Shen Tangqing turned red instantly.
Shen Tangqing’s heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the next second, this crybaby cried.
Dammit, crying again…
Shen Tangqing now seriously suspected this kid’s eyes were too big to hide tears; otherwise, how could he cry on command?
The key was that this kid looked quite good crying in this outfit. His lower lip was bitten red by his teeth, his eye corners and nose tip were pink. Standing in front of him weeping silently, crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain.
Shen Tangqing inexplicably felt like he had become a scumbag heartbreaker. Clearly, he was the victim being harassed! This was simply turning the world upside down.
“Why are you crying again?”
Lin Mu wiped his tears haphazardly.
“Shen Tangqing, is it really impossible? I’m really willing to do anything for you…”
“Really impossible.”
Lin Mu’s tears flowed even more fiercely.
He didn’t want to cry, but he was really too sad; he couldn’t control it.
Shen Tangqing sighed, turned back to the room, took a few tissues, and stuffed them into Lin Mu’s hand.
“Lin Mu, you should go.”
Lin Mu’s hand holding the tissues clenched violently. The veins on the back of his hand were very obvious.
He stood blankly in place, forgetting even to cry.
He looked at the cold, hard brows and eyes of the person in front of him. There was no pity inside, only the helplessness and annoyance of being pestered to the limit.
It turned out that risking all dignity and begging humbly was just disgusting harassment in Shen Tangqing’s eyes.
He looked down at the dress on his body, a mocking smile spilling from the corner of his lips.
It turned out that all this, in the end, was just being moved by himself. In other people’s eyes, he was as absurd and ridiculous as a clown.
“I’m sorry.”
Lin Mu said these three words very lightly, yet it seemed to exhaust his last bit of strength.
He didn’t look at Shen Tangqing again. He just raised his hand and slowly pulled off the wig on his head.
Black hair slid down, revealing his original fresh short hair. The tips of his hair were slightly curled from being wrapped for a long time, carrying a bit of wretched messiness.
“I used to always think that as long as I persisted enough, was humble enough, I could always make your heart soften a little.”
His voice was very light, carrying a trace of hoarseness, as if talking to himself, and also as if speaking to Shen Tangqing.
“But I forgot, not liking means not liking. No matter how much I pester, this unaccepted feeling will only become your burden.”
Shen Tangqing stood in place, wanting to say something, but his throat felt blocked, unable to spit out a single word.
Lin Mu finally looked up. Those eyes still misty with water vapor now held only dead silence, like a bottomless pool of stagnant water.
“I won’t pester you anymore.”
“Shen Tangqing, goodbye.”
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
This time there was no hesitation, nor did he look back.
Shen Tangqing froze at the door. Watching Lin Mu’s departing figure until it disappeared into the stairwell, only then did he whisper softly, “Goodbye.”
