The Great Pants Dilemma

Hesitating and dawdling for the longest time, the fellow still couldn’t bring himself to cut. Watching from the side, Yang Laoer couldn’t help but say, “Damn, boss, I’ve never seen you such a coward! If you won’t do it, I will!”

Of course, Boss Guo wouldn’t let that proposal pass. Though anyone could tell, knowing that guy’s temperament, there wouldn’t be any psychological barrier for him doing such a thing…

But Yang Laoer had no such barrier; Guo Hao, however, had plenty! No matter what, Xiao Qi was brought back to the dorm by him, and she even called him ‘big brother’ with unusual affection… For that reason, Guo Hao wouldn’t allow Yang Laoer even the chance to fantasize.

However, Boss Guo couldn’t bring himself to cut; Yang Laoer had his scruples; Linghu third was even worse. In matters involving girls, especially such an adorable little loli, he was even more cowardly than Boss Guo!

Thus, this arduous task ultimately fell on me—a young lady who could not shirk her duty.

After glaring at Yang Laoer a few times, Guo Hao suddenly seemed to make a great decision. He thrust the scissors and his pants toward me in a single, fierce motion, as if burning his boats! Looking at the scissors point aimed at my chest, I was even afraid he might lose his grip and accidentally kill me…

“Old Fourth, you do it!” he said gruffly, while signaling to Yang Laoer and Linghu to let me go.

“Damn, you only think of me now! Why did you drive me out earlier?” I complained, rubbing my wrists that had been clamped painfully by those two ruthless brothers.

Guo Hao felt guilty and needed my help, so he said nothing and let me vent.

Once my hands were a bit more nimble, I slowly took the scissors that still made me shudder, then looked at Guo Hao’s pants and frowned.

“How big a hole do we need?” I asked thoughtfully.

At this, the three fellows were all stunned. Yang Laoer, the pervert, even started frowning and raising his hands, gesturing from memory.

This movement clearly touched Guo Hao’s protective instinct, so he unceremoniously slapped a hand, harshly interrupting Yang Laoer’s lewd motion. At that moment, the guy was almost touching his own buttock area.

“It’s not that complicated, no need to measure. Just cut as you see fit…” Having dealt with the incorrigible Yang Laoer, Guo Hao turned to me and answered somewhat perfunctorily.

“What are you saying? What if it ends up like open-crotch pants? Would you want Xiao Qi to wear that?” I snapped, annoyed at his irresponsible attitude.

Boss Guo was left speechless. Hearing my words, especially that term, Linghu third might have started daydreaming again…

“Then, Old Fourth, what do you suggest we do?” Guo Hao frowned for a while, then finally had to ask me.

Sighing softly, I had no time to care and answered honestly, “I think it’s better to go back to the girls’ dorm and find some clothes… preferably a long skirt. That way, we can hide her tail without it being exposed… I don’t have such clothes myself, but maybe Senior Xiao Ru would lend me one?”

Hearing this, Guo Hao immediately clapped in agreement: “Exactly, exactly! Old Fourth, you have a sharp mind… Third, go with Old Fourth to fetch the clothes. Come back quickly. I’ll stay here and watch Old Second!”

“Damn, why leave me behind? And ‘watch me’? If you’re so worried, I’ll go with them!” Yang Laoer protested.

“If I let you go with them, I won’t feel safe about Old Fourth!” Guo Hao harshly rejected his appeal.

I could only smile wryly, but I had to admit that Guo Hao was quite thoughtful in this regard.

****

Let’s talk about two things separately. What further twists would happen with those two guarding the dorm entrance, I didn’t know. For now, I was with Linghu third, heading to the girls’ dorm. After keeping a safe distance from the entrance, Linghu third nervously glanced around and said, “Old Fourth, go upstairs and get the clothes. I’ll cover you here…”

Honestly, if it were a month ago when I was still a boy, facing Superintendent Kang Qiao lurking in the duty room by the girls’ dorm, I’d probably have been no braver than him. But now, my gender advantage made me look down on him.

“Fine then. Third, wait here for me obediently.” Having said that, I somewhat swaggeringly stepped into the girls’ dorm. At the entrance, I glanced back to see Linghu Ruoxu still poised to use qinggong and flee, warily watching the stairway. A strangely pleasant feeling welled up inside me!

Climbing up to my dorm floor, I had already turned over several ideas in my mind on how to ask Senior Xiao Ru for clothes. Somehow, I felt it was better not to tell her the truth for now, as Boss Guo was so guarded even against us brothers…

Entering the dorm, I found Xiao Ru had already gotten up and washed. She seemed still peeved about missing a bowl of black rice porridge. As she changed clothes, she complained, “This student union work is not for humans. I worked half the night yesterday, and before noon, they call me over again. Enough already! Ah, Dongfang, you’re back? Where did you go earlier?”

Hearing this, I felt a bit relieved; otherwise, I worried that after borrowing clothes, she’d want to come with me to the boys’ dorm, and Xiao Qi would be exposed.

“I didn’t go anywhere. Just over there… Senior Xiao Ru, can I ask you a favor?” Having already made up my mind, I spoke up.
