Fu Zheng had many friends before.
Brothers, underlings, followers. From a young age, he had always been the boss, with a large crowd trailing behind him wherever he went.
This had been the case since he could walk and understand things. His brothers were all good friends he had known for over a decade.
But under the pressure from Fu Si Heng, none of those people dared to hang out with him and mess around anymore. Fu Zheng had not contacted them for a long time.
However, chatting with them on WeChat and asking for some advice should not be something they would avoid.
——He was not desperate to cling to them either. In fact, he was furious about their betrayal and had even sworn never to deal with them again.
……
But then again.
Among his group of friends, quite a few were playboys. Many had started dating since elementary school and had plenty of romantic experience. Seducing someone should be a piece of cake for them.
He would forgive them for now.
Fu Zheng quickly convinced himself and opened the long-ignored group chat of good-for-nothing rich second generations that he had muted for ages.
The group was buzzing at the moment. When Fu Zheng opened the chat window, messages scrolled by rapidly, making the young master frown involuntarily. He tossed a period into the group.
Unfortunately, no one noticed the young master’s rare act of lowering his pride.
Because everyone was focused on another earth-shattering piece of gossip.
【Holy shit, who would’ve thought it was a guy? Calling me hubby and baby every day, asking me for money to buy pretty skirts, deliberately seducing me, sending photos showing off thighs, chest, collarbone, waist, and all that.】
【Damn it, we were online dating for three months, and I spent 178,000 on him!!!】
【And he really bought skirts! Spent 178,000 on skirts and even wore them for me to see. Didn’t scam the money for anything else, just purely for skirts!】
Seducing.
The keyword was spot on.
Fu Zheng’s finger paused on that line, reading the message over and over several times.
Then he scrolled down.
【So, you’re saying a guy used a few faceless cross-dressing photos to make you spend 178,000, and you’re head over heels for him, unwilling to report to the police even now, just wanting to track him down?】
【……】
【He didn’t intend to scam my money. The 178,000 really went to skirts.】
【?】
【For real, he sent photos of every skirt he bought.】
【?】
【What the hell is this?】
【I was just about to say you couldn’t even tell fake photos apart, total retard, but he actually bought them??? Actually wore them??? Actually took photos???】
【Yeah, so it makes sense I got scammed, right.】
【……】
【So, how did you figure out it was a guy dressed as a girl?】
【He said he quit the three pits, wouldn’t play with me anymore. Then he blocked me and confessed he’s a guy??? I’m done.】
【Bro, every sentence you’re saying right now is wild. For real.】
【Just be honest, this is a dare, right? You went to a bar first thing in the morning to drink? That bad an addict?】
【This is ridiculously insane. Have you been single so long you’re blind to gender? Even in those photos, there are body shape differences between men and women. Isn’t it easy to tell?】
【No.】
【I’m not a retard.】
【I haven’t been to a bar in three months. My online date kept me in check.】
【She was really pretty.】
【Post it for appraisal.】
【Piss off.】
【”Really pretty,” lol, you’re still reminiscing, huh.】
【Pure retard.】
【Bro, you love him, you super love him, you’re done for.】
Fu Zheng: “……”
Although he lacked the full context, from these chat logs, Fu Zheng roughly understood what had happened.
If this had occurred a few days ago, he would have joined in calling the guy a retard.
Couldn’t tell men from women, got scammed out of 178,000 and still reminisced about how pretty they were, hooked like a dog, unwilling to report to the police—total idiot.
But.
Fu Zheng inexplicably thought of Tao Zhi’s legs in women’s clothing from yesterday.
That face.
……Not gonna lie.
It really was hard to tell.
The image of Tao Zhi in drag from last night suddenly flashed in his mind. Fu Zheng felt a wave of dizziness. He barely steadied himself, only to look up and find Tao Zhi gazing at him with utterly innocent and pure eyes.
Like a simple, fluffy little rabbit, his gaze soft and pristine. When their eyes met, Tao Zhi even smiled at him, revealing sharp little tiger teeth.
Fu Zheng inexplicably blushed a bit, quickly straightened his lips, and continued looking at his phone.
But this time, he could not focus on anything. After flipping through casually, he typed: 【Tell me more about the seduction.】
【How did your online date seduce you? I want all the details.】
【?】
–
After breakfast, Tao Zhi and Fu Zheng returned to the dorm together.
Tao Zhi had no idea about the wicked plan brewing in Fu Zheng’s mind. He figured that as the president of a big company, Fu Si Heng probably did not have much free time to frequent clubs and bars. So, their next meeting would likely be who-knows-when.
This suited Tao Zhi perfectly.
A buffer period was great. He did not want to awkwardly chat with Fu Si Heng again anytime soon.
But unfortunately.
As soon as they returned to the dorm and closed the door, Fu Zheng opened the wardrobe and took out the women’s outfit Tao Zhi had worn yesterday.
