Hua Ling is an eighteen-year-old otaku with a feminine appearance.
Because his body wasn’t quite up to par, he was only 1.6 meters tall at eighteen, but his feminine looks combined with the long hair he was too lazy to cut meant he was always mistaken for a girl.
However, he didn’t mind.
Having grown up in an orphanage, he had relied on their help to grow up happily into an adult.
On the surface, he was a serious-looking young man.
In reality, he was a closeted otaku.
At most, he wasn’t socially anxious; he was easygoing, not timid, and a bit of a goofball.
He didn’t smoke or drink, but his cute appearance made him very popular at school.
This day, after Hua Ling deposited his scholarship money into his bank card, he turned around and bumped into his detestable best friend, Gao Fushuai.
The petite Hua Ling and the tall, handsome Gao Fushuai made quite a peculiar pair.
And his best friend’s name really was Gao, with the given name Fushuai.
He proudly said that his parents had hoped he would grow up to be tall and handsome, and since his surname happened to be Gao, he ended up with the rather mischievous name, Gao Fushuai.
Furthermore, his family was truly wealthy and influential, so no one dared to object to him being given such a high-profile name.
“Hua Ling!
Why didn’t you call your brother here to escort you when you came to the bank?
It’s too dangerous for you to be alone!”
Gao Fushuai smiled, patted Hua Ling’s head, and chuckled as he looked at his cute appearance.
“It’s Hua Ling, not Hua Ling-sensei.
Although my voice is indeed quite similar to her milky tone, I don’t want it to be like this either!
And stop touching my head, I won’t grow taller!”
Hua Ling swatted Gao Fushuai’s hand away and shouted helplessly.
His neutral voice with a milky tone made Gao Fushuai laugh with mischievous delight.
Plus, the people around them were looking at him with envy; after all, the petite and cute Hua Ling, set off by his height, looked just as adorable as a little girlfriend acting spoiled.
“Hua Ling, are you going to the anime convention today?
I’ve already bought your cosplay outfit, and my camera can’t wait!”
Gao Fushuai looked at the cute Hua Ling excitedly and teased him.
He treated this brother he’d grown up with very well.
In fact, his cute appearance always made him unconsciously treat him like a younger sister, and he had even gotten into quite a few fights for him growing up.
Because the mischievous orphanage director had dressed Hua Ling in women’s clothing since he was a child, making him look as cute as a doll, Gao Fushuai had originally thought he had met his true love!
But unexpectedly, as they grew up, Gao Fushuai discovered a painful reality: Hua Ling was a damn boy!
At the time, that misunderstanding had left Gao Fushuai, who finally learned the truth, feeling completely shut down on the spot!
He had angrily shouted that his sexual orientation was normal.
But well, life goes on, and Gao Fushuai reluctantly accepted the cruel fact that his good friend was a boy.
However, because Hua Ling was even cuter than a girl, it had caused quite a few funny incidents.
For example, some people wanted to bully him because he was short, but when he turned and smiled while joking with Gao Fushuai, it instantly made those people blush furiously.
If this were an anime, they would probably have “Charm” status effects popping up over their heads~
Because Hua Ling’s appearance was very similar to Theresa from Honkai, except for not having white hair and having different eye colors, he was almost exactly like Theresa.
Therefore, he had been very popular since he was a child and was even the school’s default mascot.
That said, after those people were charmed by the cute Hua Ling, Gao Fushuai would tell them the cruel fact that Hua Ling was a boy.
Witnessing their worldview shatter and seeing them wail on the ground in pain made Gao Fushuai incredibly high!
“What are you giggling about again?
You look so silly~ As for the anime convention, it sounds interesting.
As a Captain of the Hyperion, a Traveler, and a Stelle, I accept!”
Hua Ling happily patted his flat chest and shouted.
Gao Fushuai also smiled and nodded, accompanying him back to the dormitory.
That’s right, they were also boarding students at Philosophy High School.
On this day, when Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai returned to the dormitory, Hua Ling went where he usually went, and everywhere he went, there were gasps of “Oh!” from both men and women who were stunned by him.
Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai were already used to it.
The anime convention officially started this afternoon at the gymnasium near Philosophy High School.
The entire first-floor lobby had been booked out, which was naturally Gao Fushuai’s doing.
To him, the money spent was just a drop in the bucket; everything was just to witness the fun with Hua Ling!
That’s right, as a tall, handsome, and rich Gao Fushuai, his popularity at school had always been very high.
He gathered the otaku men and women from the school and the surrounding area to start the convention.
As for what little schemes he was plotting, he smiled insidiously.
“Has the cosplay outfit arrived?”
Gao Fushuai called the butler to inquire.
“Reporting to Young Master, the most magnificent cosplay outfit, Theresa’s Starlit Astrologos, has been customized and sent to your private dressing room at the convention venue.
I wish you a good time, Young Master.”
The butler’s report made the corners of Gao Fushuai’s mouth curl up.
“Plan successful.jpg”~
“What are you plotting again?”
Hua Ling instinctively sensed that his best friend had impure motives, so he glared at him with some vigilance and asked.
“No, no, my cute Hua Ling, I’ve prepared a cool and mighty cosplay outfit for you!
I guarantee it will make the girls fall head over heels for you!”
“Although you already make everyone fall head over heels just like this~”
Gao Fushuai smiled and explained to Hua Ling.
Upon hearing this, Hua Ling’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
Gao Fushuai was already used to his slightly silly appearance, so he subconsciously touched his head and smiled.
“You’re smiling disgustingly again, I’m not gay!
And stop touching my head, I won’t grow taller!”
Hua Ling habitually swatted away Gao Fushuai’s large hand and shouted.
His voice, which was very similar to Theresa’s, also drew the attention of many people, and his cute, goofy face made everyone smile.
“It’s Hua Ling!”
“Yeah, he’s as cute as ever today!”
“I can’t wait to see him in women’s clothing; he must be mesmerizing!”
A girl from Philosophy High School dressed in Yae Sakura cosplay said with excitement.
“Yeah, yeah!
It’s such a pity he’s a boy.
If he were a girl, I would have gone up and hugged and petted him already!”
A girl cosplaying as Kiana shouted with regret.
Hua Ling was unaware of the commotion he had caused.
He followed Gao Fushuai to the private dressing room at the convention.
He had been looking forward to the cool and handsome cosplay outfit—would it be Dante, or the Power-man Vergil?
But when Gao Fushuai, who was holding back laughter, opened the wardrobe, the magnificent Theresa Starlit Astrologos outfit caught Hua Ling’s eyes.
“No way, Gao Fushuai, you jerk, you’re messing with me again!
This is women’s clothing again!”
Hua Ling looked at the women’s clothing and complained to Gao Fushuai in annoyance.
“Please, Hua Ling, put it on and let us witness the greatness of Theresa!”
Gao Fushuai begged Hua Ling.
Hua Ling hesitated for a moment.
Thinking about how he was always being made to wear women’s clothing, since he was already used to it, why be coy?
