Qi Hao really wanted to laugh because the man indeed looked so ugly and painful to look at... He really looked like a man-woman... He had no breasts so naturally, they had to give him a few things on his chest to make him look like that he had perky breasts. It was successful, however, when it was combined with his tan and muscular arm, it looked so funny.
Fortunately, he could wear outerwear so at least, his muscular arms were covered up by it! Otherwise, he would really look like a lunatic ah~!
"Da Ge! No one would believe that I am a woman ah~!" Lin Jian whined once again after looking at himself in the mirror. What kind of get-up was this?! He felt so humiliated ah~!
'Naturally...' Qi Hao thought to himself. However, he answered with a shake of his head and tried to look as convincing as possible, "Don't worry! They will believe in you..."
Qi Hao's expression didn't change, even though Lin Jian was looking at him in disbelief. If he didn't see that he was Xiao Fang's brother, he would certainly punch this man from the beginning --- right after he proposed this plan. He remembered how Yao Ying, Yao Ling, and Xiao Fang were laughing at him. Not only them! Xiao Yu, Xiu, and Zhuo Li also laughed behind him because they didn't dare to do it in front of him.
Lin Jian was also irked because he had to wear a long skirt... and he could even feel that 'his down there' was a bit cold due to the wind and it felt so weird! When he walked, his legs were moving in an exaggerated way and looked like a gangster which quite funny. When it was combined with the skirt, people couldn't see the elegance of a woman.
After all, Lin Jian was a military man and quite rough, to begin with.
Lin Jian's hair was already long, so Xiao Yu helped him to comb his hair into a simple hairdo of a married woman which accentuated his slightly prominent jaw. No matter how people looked at him, they really wouldn't believe that he was a woman ah~!
When Xiao Yu looked at Lin Jian's face, she was also at a loss at how to give him a makeover. His brow was a bit bushy and she needed to trim them a little bit --- in the end, she also needed to pull out several eyebrows which made Lin Jian feel that it was hurting so bad and he almost died. He even felt that it was more painful than being punched while fighting. He just noticed that women were really strong for doing this on a daily basis just to look beautiful.
After Xiao Yu finished giving him a makeover, Lin Jian was wearing powder and lipstick on his face. The crowds looked at him and they felt that it was totally hilarious --- they couldn't hold back their laughter anymore ah~! However, Yao Ying, Yao Ling, or Xiao Fang... no one tried to help him to get out of this crazy disguise!
When Lin Jian saw himself, he almost fainted. He wanted to beg Qi Hao once again, but the latter was giving him the cold treatment and he could only swallow his grievance...
Thus, when they were ready to set off as a couple... Lin Jian could only look down so he couldn't see people's mocking faces. Qi Hao was laughing quietly. Even though he also felt embarrassed, Lin Jian's expression made his mood better. Thus, he walked proudly beside Lin Jian. After all, he didn't use his real face, so what was there to be afraid of?
True enough, whenever people were looking at the pair, they were laughing secretly. What a deadly combination! The man was as pretty as a flower while the woman was as masculine as a man... No matter what, it seemed like the couple was switching their gender ah~! It was funny to the onlookers... No matter where they went, people would have the same reactions --- some even gaped at them for a long time.
When they reach the gate of the capital, they saw that there were a few guards standing there. One of them who looked like to be the leader had a very fierce face. Lin Jian naturally didn't fear him but he was feeling so humiliated that he kept walking while looking down.
When the guards needed to check Qi Hao and Lin Jian, they looked up and gaped at the pair in shock. One of them asked, "Are you really a woman?"
Lin Jian didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. 'See...?! This is the reaction that he was talking about to Qi Hao... However, the latter keeps saying that he looks just fine!' Lin Jian thought to himself. He wanted to curse Qi Hao as a blind man, but he remembered that he was Xiao Fang's brother ah~!
Lin Jian could only raise his voice so it looked like a woman's voice and say, "Da Ren... don't hurt this woman's feeling ah~!" He pretended to cry and wipe his tears while answering, "I'm really a woman... How... how could you mock me like that?" Then he turned around to look pitifully at Qi Hao, "Husband... they ridicule me!"
When the guards heard his voice, they were shuddering in fear. 'Ew!' They thought inwardly. Even the scary leader didn't want to interrogate the pair, he was just looking from afar while shivering... in disgust.
Qi Hao patted Lin Jian's hand lovingly and said, "Da Ren... she's my wife... of course, she is a woman ah~!"
The guard asked Qi Hao while whispering, "What do you see in her?!" Although he tried to whisper, due to his excitement, the voice was slightly louder and the surrounding people were able to hear him.
Qi Hao pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong with her? She's really beautiful ah~!" He looked so sincere that the guard really wanted to vomit blood. Was he really thinking that this man-woman as beautiful? The guard looked at Lin Jian up and down once again, however, his eyes couldn't bear to look at him anymore after a little while... Too scary... really really too scary...
The guards and onlookers, "..."
All of them were speechless and could only gape at the loving couple!
Lin Jian didn't forget to act and punched Qi Hao softly, "Husband... you made me shy ah~!"
When everyone heard this, they really didn't know whether they should laugh or cry. Was there really a disease where a man could see an ugly woman as beautiful? Even if they didn't believe such a disease existed, they couldn't... because the proof was right in front of them.
"What do you want to do in the capital?" The guard asked while squinting her eyes. No matter what, this pair of husband and wife was really suspicious in his eyes.
"Da Ge, we are from a small village and we want to go to the capital for a honeymoon..." Qi Hao explained politely. When the guards paid more attention to them, they were indeed wearing coarse clothes which indicating that they were poor people.
The guards sighed. It seemed like this beautiful man was from a small village and had never seen a beautiful woman before. 'Poor him!' The guard thought to himself.
The guard said, "Go... Go... enjoy your honeymoon! Hope you can see the world and realize what you get yourself into..." The guard gave a pointer by looking at Lin Jian --- his meaning was clear... he thought that Qi Hao was getting into hell by choosing Lin Jian as a wife.
Lin Jian felt so insulted. He knew that he looked so ugly in this outfit... Did the guard really need to point it out that way? If he was his real self, he would already punch him from the beginning. However, he needed to act and pretended that he didn't understand what the guard was talking about.
They were finally able to go past the checkpoint and sighed in relief. The gossip about them spread around the capital, but the people couldn't find both people's whereabouts and the gossip died down by itself.
Lin Jian swore to himself --- No more cross-dressing after this! No matter what the circumstances!
