Lin Lili makes her appearance
The last month of the holiday.
Lin Li received her admission notice from Yucheng Experimental Middle School.
He happily opened the wardrobe.
He put on his gear!
First, I put my hair in a hair-compressing cap, then I put on the long, straight black wig he bought, along with black-rimmed glasses, and oh yes, I can't forget the BB cream!
Two hours passed.
A tall, well-behaved girl walked out.
_
"Bang bang bang!"
Lin Li stood outside Tong Yao's door, his heart pounding louder than the knocking. He took a deep breath and tugged at his dress—his "ultimate solution" from online shopping.
The door opened.
Tong's mother stared at the tall, long-haired "girl" at the door, and paused for a moment: "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Li was overjoyed—she had succeeded!
He put on a high-pitched voice, saying in what he thought was a sweet tone, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Tong Yao's friend." As he spoke, he waved the admission notice in his hand, "I've come to share my joy with her."
Tong's mother was a little puzzled, but when her gaze fell on that familiar envelope, her expression immediately changed—it was an admission notice from Yucheng Experimental Middle School.
"Please come in!" Aunt Tong warmly stepped aside to open the door.
"Who is it?" Tong's father's voice came from the living room. Seeing Lin Li walk in, he recognized her as the "tall girl" he'd seen at the mall before, and his face immediately lit up with a smile: "Is she Tong Yao's friend? She's studying in her room. I'll call her for you!"
Lin Li sat stiffly on the sofa, her legs together and her hands neatly placed on her knees.
Tong's mother brought over some fruit and placed it on the coffee table, smiling warmly: "It seems you and Tong Yao will be schoolmates. How are your grades?"
Lin Li had already prepared her answer and said softly, "Second in the city's high school entrance exam."
The mother's eyes showed more praise, clearly indicating that she had a greater appreciation for this "excellent student."
Meanwhile, Tong's father knocked on his daughter's bedroom door.
Tong Yao calmly put down her pen and opened the door. Hearing her father say, "Your friend is here," she was slightly taken aback—a friend?
Filled with doubt, she walked into the living room. When her gaze fell on the "girl" sitting awkwardly in a dress on the sofa, Tong Yao's lips twitched involuntarily.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Tong Yao's gaze lingered on Lin Li for a full three seconds.
He was wearing a floral dress, with a wig draped over his shoulders, and even a light layer of foundation on his face. If Tong Yao hadn't known him, he would have really looked like a pretty, tall girl at first glance.
"Yaoyao, your friend came to see you specially," Tong's mother greeted her warmly. "She's also your future classmate from the lab."
Tong Yao took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Ah... he's my friend."
She strode forward and grabbed Lin Li's wrist: "Let's go inside and talk."
"Oh my, the kids have such a good relationship." Dad Tong watched the two of them walk away hand in hand with a smile.
As soon as she entered the room, Tong Yao locked the door behind her and whispered, "Lin Li! You're getting more and more shameless!"
Lin Li quickly pulled off the wig, her forehead covered in sweat: "I had no choice! Your mom said you're not allowed to have male friends come to see you, so I..."
"So you dressed up as a girl?" Tong Yao was both amused and exasperated. "Don't you know that makes you look even more suspicious?"
"How could that be?" Lin Li looked innocent. "Your parents were very happy to see me. I even told them I got second place in the city, and your mom was so pleased."
Tong Yao sighed, "That's because my mom thought you were a model student! If she knew you were Lin Li..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tong's mother's concerned voice came from outside the door: "Yaoyao, remember to study hard in your room!"
"Why don't you have your friend stay for lunch? Your dad and I will go buy groceries."
Hearing the security door close means Mom and Dad have gone out.
Tong Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Li, however, had already relaxed and was curiously looking around her room. This was the first time he had entered Tong Yao's bedroom. The bookshelves were full of books, and the desk was covered with open exercise books. The air was filled with her unique, faint fragrance.
"What are you looking at?" Tong Yao asked calmly.
Lin Li smiled and said, "It's my first time in your room, so of course I have to take a good look around!"
As she spoke, Lin Li sat down in Tong Yao's chair, turned around, and caught a glimpse of a red corner on the table out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Li pulled it out and saw that it was exactly the same as the notice in his hand.
His eyes crinkled with laughter: "Tong Yao, we can be classmates again in high school!"
Tong Yao tugged at Lin Li in an annoyed tone: "Get out of the way, I need to study."
Upon hearing this, Lin Li put on a wronged expression: "You don't miss me at all after all this time?"
Tong Yao's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away: "Don't give me that. You'd better figure out how to handle this when my parents get back!"
"What's the point of ending this?" Lin Li said matter-of-factly. "From now on, I'll just come looking for you as 'Lin Lili.' Look, I'm very well prepared—"
He took out a student ID card from his small bag, which clearly showed a photo of him in women's clothing and the name "Lin Lili".
Tong Yao stared in disbelief: "You even prepared this?"
“Of course,” Lin Li said proudly, “I even practiced my female voice!”
Seeing that the person was still sitting in his chair smugly, Tong Yao finally couldn't help but reach out and pinch his ear precisely.
"Ouch—it hurts!" Lin Li covered her instantly reddened ear and complained aggrievedly, "What are you doing!"
He simply couldn't believe it; when did the gentle and kind Tong Yao become like this?
"Get out of the way!" Tong Yao pointed towards the door in an annoyed tone, telling him to go and bring in a stool to sit down.
Lin Li glared at her aggrievedly, then suddenly had a bright idea. She reached out and scooped up Tong Yao, who was standing in front of her, and placed her steadily on her lap.
"Don't you miss me at all?" He rested his chin on her slender shoulder, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said in a muffled voice with a hint of coquetry, "What's wrong with me sitting for a bit... All you ever think about is studying."
Tong Yao was so startled by his sudden action that she froze.
The position was too intimate; she could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and the strength of his arms. What if her parents suddenly came back at this moment…
"Let me go!" she whispered, nudging herself with her elbows and struggling in his arms to escape the dangerous embrace.
Lin Li, caught up in her playful mood, found her flustered state particularly amusing, tightening her grip on her arm and grinning, "I won't let go!"
However, the next second, Lin Li's smile suddenly froze, and her whole body tensed up abruptly—
"Don't move!" His voice suddenly became strange and tense.
Tong Yao thought he was up to some new trick again, so she sneered, "Then let go."
Lin Li felt a certain part of her body uncontrollably preparing to "stand up in salute," and all the blood rushed to her head.
He released his arm almost as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes darting around, not daring to look at Tong Yao. He sprang up from the chair and rushed towards the private bathroom in the room, his hands and feet moving in unison.
"I...I need to pee!"
With a "bang," the toilet door was slammed shut, followed by the "click" of it being locked from the inside.
Tong Yao looked at the closed door, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and muttered to herself, "She's getting bolder and bolder."
She naively thought Lin Li was genuinely unable to hold it in any longer, completely unaware of what was wrong with Lin Li.
In the restroom, Lin Li splashed cold water on her face, looked at her flushed face in the mirror, and breathed a long sigh of relief—she had almost embarrassed herself in front of her.
We can't mess around anymore!
So, the two of them actually started studying seriously.
When Tong's mother returned, she saw this scene.
A tall girl sat down next to Tong Yao on a stool, intently reading the book in her hands.
Tong Yao was also studying diligently with a pen in hand.
She nodded in satisfaction.
This friend is much better than that Cheng Yu!
At the dinner table.
"Little sister, what's your name? Come visit us often!"
Lin Li glanced at Tong Yao, who was sitting on her right, eating calmly and without changing her expression.
"Auntie, my name is Lin Lili."
Upon hearing this, Tong Yao's lips twitched slightly.
Unaware of what was going on, Tong's mother smiled and looked at Lin Li, saying, "Lin Lili, what a lovely name. What do your parents do?"
Lin Li's forehead began to sweat. He had forgotten about this and hadn't prepared an explanation: "My father is an engineer, and my mother is a boss."
A contractor can be considered an engineer, right?
My mother runs her own business, so she is definitely a boss.
"Great!" Tong's mother's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Lin Lili's family to be so well-off, and she was even more satisfied.
Tong's father chimed in with a laugh, "Lili is really tall, does she play volleyball?"
The Yancheng women's volleyball team is quite famous, so it's not surprising that Tong's father asked this question.
Lin Li almost choked on her rice: "Occasionally, occasionally a little bit."
Where would he get the chance to play volleyball? He only knows the rules from watching anime.
Tong's mother put a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake in Lin Li's bowl, and suddenly remembered something, and asked with concern, "Does Lili usually have menstrual cramps? Yao Yao does, and sometimes the pain is so bad that she has to take time off work to rest."
Tong Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped her chopsticks tightly in nervousness. How could Lin Li possibly understand such private matters between girls? She secretly pinched Lin Li's thigh under the table, warning him not to say anything out of line.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Li remained calm and answered, "It hurts occasionally. I have a cousin whose symptoms were particularly severe. She insisted on soaking her feet in mugwort water, kept her abdomen warm, and also received traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Now she is much better."
He spoke eloquently and even added several dietary therapy recipes.
Tong Yao's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Lin Li to be so well-prepared, even for such detailed information—after all, she didn't know that in her previous life, as a girl, Lin Li had indeed witnessed her roommate suffering from menstrual cramps.
Tong's mother nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, traditional Chinese medicine is the best treatment. Lili knows so much, we should communicate more with Yaoyao in the future."
"Definitely, definitely." Lin Li replied obediently, secretly taking Tong Yao's hand under the table and giving it a smug squeeze.
After dinner, Tong Yao used the excuse of seeing her classmate downstairs to quickly push Lin Li out of the house.
As soon as they entered the elevator, Lin Li couldn't wait to boast: "How about that! Wasn't I very thorough in my considerations?"
Tong Yao poked his arm in annoyance: "You almost gave yourself away! What were you thinking? You're so bold."
Lin Li grinned and leaned closer, saying, "But this trick works! Now I can visit you often as 'Lin Lili'." He then opened his arms to hug her.
Tong Yao nimbly took a step back and pointed to the camera on the top of the elevator: "Lin Lili, please have some self-respect."
"Ding—" The elevator arrived at the first floor.
Lin Li walked out reluctantly, then suddenly turned around and said, "It's my birthday in a few days, how about we go to the water park? It's on me!"
Seeing that Tong Yao didn't answer immediately, he added shamelessly, "If you don't agree, I'll talk to Auntie myself in a couple of days, and she'll definitely agree!"
Tong Yao crossed her arms and watched the figure in the dress gradually walk away, unable to help but chuckle softly:
"She looks quite cute in a skirt..."
She's already starting to think about what birthday gift to give.
How about I send you a dress?
Thinking of how furious Lin Li might be when she received the dress, Tong Yao's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
