Lin Jin was actually a girl?
This revelation caused a sensation amongst the class. But on second thought, it seemed that Lin Jin had never been seen entering the restroom back in middle school school. And middle school was three or four years ago, many details had become blurry. Some people with poor memory even almost forgot what Lin Jin looked like back then.
The homeroom teacher looked at Lin Jin with a baffled expression. He, of course, knew that Lin Jin was male, but was confused about whether Lin Jin and Yuli were trying to cause trouble.
"Are you really a girl?" Liu Shengqi leaned in close to Lin Jin and whispered.
Lin Jin was also in a state of confusion. Who knew that Yuli would use such an explanation for his cross-dressing today? Saying that he was originally a girl was even worse than just admitting he was cross dressing, wasn't it?
F*ck, how am I going to explain this to the homeroom teacher? Will the teacher think I'm a pervert?
Confused, Lin Jin ignored Liu Shengqi's question and turned his gaze to Yuli beside him, his face twitching as he asked, "What were you thinking?"
Yu Li turned her head and said apologetically to Lin Jin, "I had a brainfart, don't know why I said that..."
Don't know why you said that? You might as well just admit you were trying to mess with me.
Lin Jin sighed and glanced at the homeroom teacher at another table, who was clearly watching the drama unfold.
"Lin Jin, are you a girl or not?" Liu Shengqi, sitting on the other side of Lin Jin, raised his voice and asked again.
This time, Lin Jin finally noticed him, turned his head to look, curled his lips and nodded, "Yeah, whats the matter?"
Since Yu Li had already labeled him as a girl, he had no choice but to play along. Besides, his task was to not initiate contact five old classmates after the gathering. Yu Li's blunder was actually a blessing in disguise, having the identity of a "girl" would probably make these old classmates more interested in him.
The class launched into a discussion about whether Lin Jin was male or female. Some said they had seen Lin Jin use the men's restroom before, some claimed that Lin Jin had looked especially cute in middle school but they hadn't thought much of it at the time, and some even said they had previously seen Lin Jin cross-dressing and shopping in the county town.
However, this was Lin Jin's first time cross-dressing in the county town. In any case, all sorts of random comments made the issue of Lin Jin's gender increasingly murky. Liu Shengqi, sitting beside Lin Jin, wore an expression that screamed, "You all are idiots. Why don't you just ask the person involved?"
Finally, the food arrived, and the discussion about Lin Jin was interrupted and came to a pause. They began talking about embarrassing stories from middle school, discussing the colleges they were attending, and their girlfriends. A few who had started working right after high school were also present. One had even become a small business owner, running a profitable milk tea shop in Fuzhou with a monthly net income of tens of thousands and had bought a small car.
Of course, his milk tea shop was financed by his parents, and the car was a coming-of-age birthday gift. His family owned a textile factory with an annual income of millions.
So this person also became the focus of the gathering. Although most classmates were still college students, some more outgoing ones began calling that person "big brother" to build relationships.
"Do you want some beef? I can pass it over to you" Liu Shengqi, who hadn't been much involved in the gathering offered. He was continually eating and drinking soda, focusing mainly on Lin Jin beside him.
"I'm not eating." Lin Jin glanced at him and sighed again.
"How about some soda?"
"No thanks, it'll make me gain weight."
Could this guy, who used to be called a gangster along with me, have fallen for me?
Lin Jin couldn't imagine that Liu Shengqi, the buddy who used to skip classes to play basketball with him, flip over walls to go to internet cafes, and even sneak out at night to have barbecue and drinks, could possibly develop feelings for him. Wouldn't Liu Shengqi find it strange to fall for a former drinking buddy?
"No worries, work out with me in the mornings and evenings during the winter break, and I guarantee you'll lose twenty pounds! Then you can eat whatever you want without fear" Liu Shengqi said cheerfully, flattering Lin Jin. "Besides, your figure is already quite good, no need for dieting."
F*ck you!
Lin Jin almost cursed out loud. Since when did people compliment a man on his figure?
Although, due to the influence of the black cat, Lin Jin's psychology had increasingly aligned with that of a typical girl, he still considered himself a man, a fairly good-looking man, not a real 'girl.' Otherwise, he might actually be pleased to be complimented on his figure.
Under Liu Shengqi's gaze, Lin Jin's face visibly darkened. Liu Shengqi immediately shut up, pondering what in his previous remarks could have caused Lin Jin to switch from pink to black so suddenly.
"Lin Jin, shall we toast the class teacher?" Shi Yuli came over, not looking at Lin Jin's face but at the lively toasting scene around the class teacher. She whispered to Lin Jin, "Everyone else has gone, shall we go too?"
"Sure."
Lin Jin hadn't had a drop of alcohol at this gathering yet, but he was indifferent since it was just for a toast and he wouldn't be drinking much.
Pouring himself a glass, he stood up first and led Shi Yuli over to the class teacher.
"Old homeroom teacher" Lin Jin smiled at the teacher who once looked after him, expressing his sincere gratitude. "Thank you for taking care of me during middle school."
"Old homeroom teacher, me too!" Shi Yuli hurriedly poked her head out from behind Lin Jin's shoulder, resting her chin on it as she spoke to the class teacher, "I also thank your entire family!"
"Why does that sound like an insult?" The class teacher didn't mind Shi Yuli's joking tone, raised his glass to Lin Jin and Shi Yuli, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Speaking of which, what are you two planning to do today?" Although the class teacher was in his forties, he had an open mindset and looked at Lin Jin with a smile. "You're crossdressing today and also claiming to be a girl. Are you trying to stir things up at this gathering I organized?"
"No." Lin Jin shook his head decisively, swiftly stepping aside and pushing Shi Yuli forward. "She's the one stirring things up, I'm just a victim."
"Eh? What does this have to do with me!"
Shi Yuli looked at Lin Jin blankly, then awkwardly scratched her head and let out a sheepish laugh. "I just wanted to liven things up a bit!"
"Alright, alright, go eat, eat more" the class teacher waved his hand in resignation. "Lin Jin, you stay. I want to ask you a few things."
"You're always causing trouble." Lin Jin glared at Yuli and then moved closer to the class teacher with a forced smile. "What's the matter?"
"How is your family doing now?"
"It's the same as always." Lin Jin didn't understand what the teacher was specifically referring to.
"Is your dad still gambling? Has your mom come back?" The class teacher concernedly pulled over a chair for Lin Jin to sit and lowered his voice, as if afraid others would hear Lin Jin's personal matters. "After all these years, is your dad still gambling and drinking every day?"
There was a time when the class teacher went for a home visit at 7 pm, only to find Lin Jin's dad drunk. The result was that the teacher got kicked out by the drunken dad.
"Um, I think that should be no more? He promised me he wouldn't gamble or drink anymore."
"That's good, then go eat."
Lin Jin obediently nodded and left.
The class teacher really is a good teacher.
