Chapter 45 Artifacts from the Warring States Period

Their dormitory was a four-person room. Besides Lin Mo himself, there was Wang Bo, who looked mature; Zhao Ziyu, a muscular fitness enthusiast; and Li Chuan, who was standing in front of him.

Of the four, Zhao Ziyu is the tallest, standing at 1.85 meters. He is from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius and is very tall and strong. However, he has already decided not to return to school and will instead do an internship outside until graduation.

Wang Bo, known as Director Wang, looks mature and has a somewhat rounded figure. He's not very old, but he already has a beer belly. He's confirmed to be returning the day after tomorrow.

Lin Mo himself goes without saying. Although his features were rather delicate, he was still considered an ordinary person overall, neither outstanding nor bad.

Li Chuan was the shortest of the four, only about 1.73 meters tall, but he had a pretty face. In short, he had feminine features and a low-key personality. The other girls in the dorm called him Chuan Mei (Chuan Girl).

This was just something people said casually, but it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If we had known he had this talent, their years of university wouldn't have been so boring.

"You mean, while we were doing our internships, your family got you the internship certificates, and then you dressed as women at school?"

After a long while, in room 205, Lin Mo stood in front of his bed, looking at Chuan Mei with disbelief.

At this moment, Li Chuan was wearing a floral dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and her face was covered in exquisite makeup. She sat in front of the computer with a guilty look on her face, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

"It's not about cross-dressing, it's about creating social media content. My mom already said she doesn't expect me to make money from her, and if things get bad, I can just go back to my hometown. But I don't want to go back and sponge off my parents, so here I am."

As far as Lin Mo knew, Chuanmei's family owned a supermarket, not the kind of convenience store at the entrance of a residential area, but a large supermarket that sold vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities.

Although his hometown is in a county town, his family is quite well-off. He is a second-generation rich kid. He can't compare to someone like Miss Yuan who can easily spend tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan and drive the latest Xiaomi car, but he is much better off than an ordinary family like his.

"You just said you were live streaming. You're not one of those borderline streamers who specifically scams top spenders, are you?" Lin Mo asked with a suspicious look.

"What nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of person? I make a living from advertising. I'm just trying to maintain my fans. I'll be broadcasting for a while to chat with everyone. I definitely won't do anything suggestive!" Li Chuan exclaimed excitedly.

Then, Xiao Li spent more than half an hour telling him about his 'entrepreneurial' experience.

In short, during the second semester of their junior year, all the students in the dorm went to do internships. Xiao Li originally wanted his family to get him an internship certificate so he could relax and do nothing.

But one day while browsing Douyin (TikTok), he saw some cross-dressing bloggers who were very popular. Coincidentally, many people had said that he looked like a girl and had feminine features since he was a child, so he got the idea.

Finally, he decided to go all out and move into the school to start his own online account creation project. To this end, he even went to Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) to learn makeup from female bloggers.

Finally, Huang Tian's hard work paid off. After several months of trying, he actually made it into this field thanks to his natural androgynous looks. Now he is a well-known cross-dressing blogger.

He hadn't intended for his roommates to know, thinking he'd take a break from updating for a while after they returned. But he hadn't expected Lin Mo to come back two days early, catching him completely off guard.

Looking at the account with 500,000 followers displayed on Chuanmei's phone, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and said with a strange expression:

"Your short video account ID is Li Shiya?"

"Yeah, it sounds good, right? Ever since I started using this account, my online persona has always been that of a woman. Nobody knows my real identity in private. Everyone has a few alternate accounts when they're out in the world. Besides, I kept my surname, didn't I?" Little Li said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt a sense of utter exasperation. What was going on lately? The people around him were becoming increasingly abstract.

The fake Li Shiya, the real Liu Ruyan, are they going to join forces to kill him?

Putting everything else aside, knowing these two people makes him almost embarrassed to call himself Lin Mo; he feels like he'd be doing them a disservice if he didn't call himself Ito Makoto. "Seriously, since you've chosen to be a self-media creator, are you afraid of people knowing what you really look like? It's not like it's anything shameful, why are you hiding it?"

Lin Mo didn't quite understand. There are plenty of cross-dressing bloggers online who make tons of money. Many people want to earn that kind of money but can't. What's so shameful about it?

Upon hearing this, Comrade Li quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother, Brother Lin, you'll keep this a secret for me, right?"

"Heh~ Let's see how you do. I'll eat your secret for the rest of my life, hehehe!" Lin Mo grinned sinisterly. He had to admit, being a villain felt really good.

"Wait a minute!" Upon hearing this, Li Chuan quickly got up, rummaged under his bed and pulled out a large box, pushing it in front of him: "It's all here: snacks, drinks, toilet paper, face wash, skincare products, women's clothing. Forget about this, these are all samples sent to me by advertisers. You can have them all, especially this self-heating hot pot, it smells amazing!"

Comrade Xiao Li has started bribing veteran cadres.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Give them all to me? You're doing this voluntarily?"

"Who put Brother Lin's things in my box? Everything is here. I haven't eaten any of the samples that came recently. I'm too scared! My family has been fat for generations. I'm terrified of being fat!" As she spoke, Chuanmei grabbed his arm and cried.

That's how it looked; Zhao Dehan had completely taken over without lifting a finger. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was from the Anti-Zero Group coming to arrest someone.

Just as he was about to let it go, the girl from Sichuan suddenly noticed the wristwatch on his wrist.

"Holy crap, a Patek Philippe Nautilus? You've struck it rich?"

Unlike Lin Mo, who was clueless about watches, Li Zaichuan, who came from a relatively well-off family, had some knowledge of these things and recognized them immediately, also knowing their value.

"No, it was a gift from a friend. This is a Patek Philippe?" Lin Mo raised his arm and glanced at it. He didn't know what a Nautilus was, but he had heard of Patek Philippe.

"A gift from a friend? If I'm not mistaken, your friend is a woman, right?" As she spoke, the Sichuan girl slowly straightened her back.

"How do you know it?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chuanmei grabbed the things she was about to use to bribe Master Lin and took them away.

"Well, I knew you'd changed a lot. Turns out you've been living off a woman! Okay, you'd better tell me the truth!"

"I didn't!" Lin Mo shouted.

"Heh~ No, I didn't live off a woman. What woman would give you a Nautilus shell? Yours alone would cost at least 40. Looks like you're a wealthy woman."

Lin Mo was at a loss for words to explain, but then something caught his eye, and he immediately smiled:

"Even if you're rich, you're not as rich as a Sichuan girl."

“I don’t have the means to give away such an expensive watch,” the Sichuan girl retorted.

Lin Mo remained completely unfazed: "How could that be? I found artifacts from the Warring States period right by your bedside, and you're still pretending!"

"Where would I find cultural relics?"

"Isn't that a pile of paper from the State of Lu?"
