"Do you really think that being alone with you would lead me to do something inappropriate?" Su Muqing teased.
I blushed. "N-no."
Su Muqing chuckled lightly and took out a scroll. "Teach me poetry."
I felt helpless. This was nothing like I had imagined.
I spent the entire afternoon tutoring Su Muqing in poetry.
As dusk fell, we finally left the inn.
Su Muqing waved at me. "Goodbye."
I waved back. It felt like we had closed the distance between us a little.
Back at the academy, when my classmates inquired about my absence, I made up an excuse about feeling unwell.
Su Muqing claimed she was sick too.
No one suspected anything.
Days passed, and Su Muqing and I grew closer. She often invited me to various activities, such as the Cuju Match and the Poetry Competition.
She even brought me homemade snacks from time to time.
Gradually, the Spring Academy began to speculate about our relationship.
Liao Changting was heartbroken. "Chang Zhe, you actually... with Su Muqing..."
I was speechless.
Liao Changting grabbed my neck with both hands and warned me, "You better treat Su Muqing well, do you hear me?"
"If I find out that you bullied her, we won't even be brothers anymore!"
I was silent. I wanted to explain, but the words caught in my throat and I swallowed them back down. I had promised to keep this secret, and if I didn't, she might very well silence me for good. The thought of that figure in black sent a chill down my spine. I swore to myself that I would keep Su Muqing's secret buried deep within.
The headmaster of the academy also called me in for a talk. He looked worried. "Chang Zhe, the Imperial Examination is approaching; you can't let your studies suffer because of this."
I rubbed my forehead. How did the headmaster find out? It must have been Xiao Wanyi who reported me! I was at a loss for words. This wasn't just about neglecting my studies; it was that Su Muqing is actually a guy!
The headmaster patted my shoulder. "Chang Zhe, you are one of our academy's most promising students. You mustn't ruin your future."
I nodded perfunctorily. "Understood, Headmaster."
He sighed. "Chang Zhe, if you don't listen, I'll have no choice but to inform your father."
"Please don't!" I quickly interjected. "Headmaster, rest assured, I won't get caught up in romantic entanglements."
He sighed again. "That's for the best."
After the headmaster left, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although I could keep this secret for now, the fact that Su Muqing was a guy was something that couldn't be hidden forever.
Indeed.
One morning, Xiao Wanyi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Su Muqing is a man!"
The classroom erupted in chaos.
All the classmates turned to look at Su Muqing.
Su Muqing seemed unfazed, continuing to recite poetry.
Xiao Wanyi shouted, "Don't be fooled by her!"
"Su Muqing is a man dressed in women's clothing!"
"She's just a pervert!"
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up, "Xiao Wanyi, stop talking nonsense!"
Xiao Wanyi sneered, "I'm talking nonsense?"
"Think about it, Su Muqing never goes to the toilet with us."
"She clearly can't!"
"And every time, she uses the inner room of the clinic!"
"Don't you find that strange?"
With Xiao Wanyi's words, everyone began to murmur among themselves.
"Yeah, Su Muqing never goes to the toilet with us."
"I thought she was a young lady who looked down on us."
"Turns out she's afraid of her secret being exposed."
"Right? That's just too weird."
"Ugh, I even slept next to her before; thinking about it makes me feel so gross..."
