Face-Slapping the School Heartthrob and Student Council President (11)
Editor: ghost
That night, all the posts slandering Zhou Xu and Yang He on the school intranet were taken down. Chang Shaojun realised that this method had not worked at all, hence he immediately wrote up a proposal for the student council. He was prepared to help it pass, and under the student council’s lead the students would oppose and protest the crossdressing association and other transvestites.
However, Chang Shaojun did not expect that his proposal would be strongly opposed by the organising committee and publicity committee.
The student council had a meeting every week, but Chang Shaojun did not want to wait. He sent a text to all the members of the student council saying that the week’s meeting needed to be pushed forward as they had an important matter to discuss.
After all the members had arrived, Chang Shaojun subtly gave his prepared proposal to the council.
He gave everyone a few minutes to read through the proposal before he began to speak. “I’m very sorry to give everyone such short notice for this meeting. However, seeing that the school’s atmosphere has become more and more foul, as representatives of the students we cannot leave this situation alone.
“In addition, if everyone were to remain indifferent, crossdressing w become very popular within this school. How would the differences between genders be reflected?
“The previous crossdressing beauty contest was something that I, as the student council president, did not support. However, we had no choice since the media had decided to meddle and we had to cooperate. But what about now? Do we still need to endure in silence when it concerns our campus life?
“No, we cannot continue enduring. Transvestism is not normal; it is a mental illness. We cannot support such wrong behaviour. We are representatives of the students–we cannot, once again, turn a blind eye to the situation!
“I hope that we can band together and boycott the school’s new association: the crossdressing association. I hope that we do not forget the reality that men and women have differences. Transvestites must be chased out of the school so that a fresh and clean X University will be returned to us.”
The room was quiet after Chang Shaojun’s speech. Thus, Chang Shaojun could not help but ask, “What do you think? Have you thought of ways to boycott the association? Everyone can share their thoughts.”
There was another wave of silence. In the end, the publicity committee’s leader stood up and cleared her throat a little. Her tone was light and slow, but her voice carried absolute certainty.
“Sorry, but I don’t agree with your proposal. Firstly, transvestism is not a mental illness–it is a normal state of mind. Perhaps you did not know, but if you had done your research, you would find that roughly 80% of males have a varying degree of desire to crossdress. So transvestism is not a mental illness. Since it is not, there is no difference between them and us; we are all normal. Mr. President, we cannot deny nor reject a normal inclination based on personal feelings.”
The publicity committee’s leader was a girl, but she was very strong-willed. She had always remained impartial and had high prestige in the student council. She was originally the student council’s president, but because she had needed to leave school to participate in a large scale competition, she had taken the initiative to give up her seat to the then-deputy president Chang Shaojun.
In actuality, the position of deputy president did not have much real power. It did not match up to that of a committee leader’s. However, no one expected that the publicity committee’s previous leader would suddenly resign.
After Chang Shaojun organised a few activities, everyone had been quite satisfied with him, hence they had accepted him and moved on.
In the present situation, everyone’s feelings were a bit delicate, especially after the publicity committee leader’s direct opposition.
The atmosphere became more and more strained. The organising committee leader stood up and smiled. He voiced out, “Everyone, don’t be so tense, this is just a discussion. Since this is a normal discussion, then I will express my views too. Firstly, transvestism is indeed not a mental illness. As such, Mr. President, you truly misspoke on this point. In addition, transvestites will not go into the wrong toilets, so what kind of disturbance will they cause?”
The members all laughed. The atmosphere also became slightly more relaxed. However, the more observant members noticed Chang Shaojun lowering his head. Before he had lowered his head, his gaze had not been one bit amicable.
The organising committee leader continued, “Thirdly, transvestites are transvestites, but there is a more severe form of transvestism that is indeed an illness: gender dysphoria. Therefore, what we need to do is not reject nor restrict transvestites, but help those with gender dysphoria.”
“Our school has a few remarkable psychologists. I feel that perhaps we can resolve the problem by letting them act as the crossdressing association’s guiding mentors. Of course, on this point, we need to work hard to communicate properly with everybody. What does everyone think?”
The members all nodded and some even started clapping. It was all sounds of agreement. On the president’s podium, Chang Shaojun’s head was lowered, suppressing his inner rage. He was unable to accept transvestites and never would.
What normal state of mind, ridiculous!
What normal, ridiculous!
Ridiculous!
“Nonsense! You are all talking nonsense! Transvestism is a mental illness. They disgust people! I want to vomit when I see them. You people who support them are also absolutely disgusting. What psychological guidance? Fuck guidance, they should all die! All die!”
In the end, Chang Shaojun could not hold back. He spent his whole life in disgust of transvestites. He was unable to accept them. Why was everyone else so tolerant?
They did not know how disgusting it was to see their own father in a dress. They also did not know the fear and inferiority he felt when his classmates had seen his father.
“What do you guys know? You don’t know anything. Transvestites are sick and the sick need to see a doctor, otherwise they should hurry up and die, commit suicide or jump off a building. You people who support them, what right do you have to support them? What reason? If your father also crossdressed, what would you think? Would you still be here saying such things? If your birth father held your hand and went out looking like a woman, how would you feel? Is it not disgusting? You stupid people know absolutely nothing!”
After Chang Shaojun finished roaring, the entire room was silent. He had vented years of fear through his rant. He sat back down as he had exhausted all his strength.
In the midst of the silence, Chang Shaojun heard a clear voice. However, he did not want to raise his head; his world had collapsed. Now everyone present knew that his father was a transvestite.
“If my father liked to wear women’s clothing too and it made him happy, perhaps at the beginning I would not understand as a child. But after I grew more aware, I would support him. If he loved me and I loved him too, then I would wish for his happiness. If my classmates came over to my house, I would proudly tell them: Look, he is my father. He is very pretty and he loves me.”
Chang Shaojun slightly lifted his head. The person in front of him seemed like a deity; he had a radiant beauty that was different from a crowd of common faces. Right, he had fallen in love at first sight with this person before, but what had happened?
After he knew he was a transvestite and hence mysteriously started to hate him instead.
And then? They became hostile towards each other and that feeling he had in the beginning was long gone.
Three people followed behind Zhou Xu, one was Yang He and the other two were women, both looked to be about forty years old.
Zhou Xu and Yang He looked at Chang Shaojun quietly sitting at his seat. They stepped back and thus Chang Shaojun was able to see the two women.
“Jun Jun, I’m sorry.” One woman said. She could not say anything else after that sentence, and could only turn around and leave. The other woman followed her.
Chang Shaojun was in a daze until the woman left. He then realised that she was precisely his birth father.
Suddenly, Chang Shaojun rushed out like a crazed man. The crowd in the meeting room could hear a wail of “dad” before it was quiet again.
Yang He walked up the podium and smiled towards everyone in the room. His clean white teeth shone under the sunlight, giving off radiance.
“You should disperse, go and do what you’re supposed to. Right, that person over there, aren’t you from the design department? You haven’t handed in this week’s assignment, right?”
“How did you know?”
“Because your teacher is my mentor. He’s too lazy to mark your work, so he’s making me do it. Do you have a problem with that?”
“No, I’ll leave first, Laoshi, ha, hahaha.”
A few seconds later, the meeting room was devoid of people. Zhou Xu looked at Yang He and coldly laughed, “That person just now seems to be the one that has secretly liked you for three years. Looks like you remember it very clearly ah.”
“Haha, hahaha, I don’t remember it that clearly, haha….”
“Shut up.”
“En.”
No one knew what happened to Chang Shaojun, only that a few days later, he resigned from his position as student council president and Zhou Xu received his apology letter. He apologised on the school intranet as well.
Afterwards, Chang Shaojun was unusually low-key and never expressed his hatred of transvestites again. Zhou Xu did not make things difficult for him either; the best punishment for Chang Shaojun was remorse and Chang Shaojun’s father had already done it for him.
….
After You Luoqi received the letter from the national design competition board, he panicked. But no matter how much he regretted it, the national design competition web page still announced the retraction of You Luoqi’s third tier award.
At the same time, the board also published You Gan’s drafts and in the end, called for all the designers to boycott such people who steal others’ ideas and work.
You Luoqi knew he was done for. At least in the designing circle, he had nowhere to go. However, he brought this upon himself hence in the end, he could not say anything.
The design department criticized him and You Luoqi’s reputation in the school changed from school heartthrob to “rice thief” since he stole designs.
From heaven to hell, You Luoqi’s life became completely different. He lost the right to chase Zhou Xu because at the end of that semester, Zhou Xu received his golden first tier award and publicly came out of the closet with Yang He.
A year later, Zhou Xu entered and won the elections for student council president. He once again won the national design competition’s special award.
Two years later, Zhou Xu and Yang He partnered together and opened an advertising company. The first year’s turnover was already more than three million.
A television station interviewed him. During the interview, he wore an enchanting fiery red dress. His reputation as a crossdressing design genius spread.
Zhou Xu wore women’s clothing when he returned home for the New Year. The people in the neighbourhood were unexpectedly all warm and gentle. Auntie Chen even pulled him to help her do an advertisement for her store.
Three years later, Zhou Xu graduated, becoming the school’s most excellent graduate.
Because of his black history, You Luoqi could not find a job. He could only change to a fake name and be an art designer for a website.
Chang Shaojun did not take up any designing jobs. A year before, he had left school the moment he had graduated and had not contacted anyone. After he came back, there were people who said they saw him at a welfare institution, but he still did not contact anyone.
The day before he was leaving school, Zhou Xu participated in the crossdressing beauty contest for the last time. Now he very clearly knew how to properly apply blush and eyeshadow to look better.
His white dress fluttered as Zhou Xu said to Lu Zhongban-laoshi, “Thank you.”
Lu Zhongban-laoshi lightly hit him with his fist, “Work hard in the future.”
Zhou Xu was quiet; Lu Zhongban was too agitated and this hit had made Zhou Xu tear up.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu spoke to the association’s members, “Our interest is very normal. However, regardless of interests and hobbies, we cannot let it obstruct our path to success.”
In the envious and admiring gaze of the crowd, Zhou Xu walked to Yang He who was waiting at the door. He smiled and said, “Go, I’ve graduated, so I’ll give you all my blessing.”
Yang He suddenly sprang with vigour, “We are doing it, right?”
Zhou Xu turned his head and again smiled lightly, a clear gentle curve on his face. He answered, “Correct.”
In their spacious room, Zhou Xu laid on the bed. His long hair was spread on the bed, covering it in an enchanting black colour.
His intoxicating scent made Yang He lose control. He threw himself onto Zhou Xu and kissed him on his red lips. He asked, “I thought you said you wanted to bring me to see your parents before we did it?”
“Tomorrow they are coming over to check on you.”
“…..Why are they suddenly coming over?”
“Because yesterday I called them to say that their son’s other half was actually Yang He. They were very angry and wanted to come over and interrogate you.”
“Little Xu, I feel like I cannot do it anymore.”
Zhou Xu lightly pulled the straps of his sleeveless dress down, exposing his fine collarbones. He asked, “Then what about now?”
Yang He again threw himself onto Zhou Xu, “I’m good to go again. I must do it before I die.”
They did it to their heart’s content. Zhou Xu had to admit he really loved the way they did it.
However, after they finished, Zhou Xu thought for a while and realised that his lover, in every world, liked to say they would fuck him to death?
Hai, really.
Breaking into laughter, Zhou Xu felt that it would be better if he did not fuss over this.
