TECSBRO-(54)
Lu Xu stood there holding the clothes, dazed for a few seconds. Before, he had indeed worn many beautiful princess dresses.
But since entering the first grade, his gender perspective had become much stronger. Lu Xu hesitated.
However, before he could sort out his thoughts, the cheerleading team captain was already urging him from outside. Being called at the entrance of the men's restroom was embarrassing.
Lu Xu quickly put on the short skirt, which fit well, but the slightly short crop top exposed a bit of his belly button.
As a child model, Lu Xu had a good figure, but having eaten a bit too much for lunch, his stomach was a bit round, making him look like a cute cartoon character.
There was no mirror in the men's restroom, so Lu Xu had no idea how he looked.
The cheerleading captain shouted again from outside, so Lu Xu hurriedly and anxiously used the pompoms to cover his stomach as he went out.
Luckily, it was during the sports meeting, and not many people were in the restroom. He didn't encounter any boys.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the restroom, Lu Xu was dumbfounded. All the cheerleading team members from his class were waiting at the entrance to the men's restroom.
No wonder no boys had entered the restroom; who would dare to approach with such a scene?
Several girls, dressed beautifully, surrounded Lu Xu enthusiastically, pinching his cheeks and exclaiming how cute he looked, like a doll.
Lu Xu felt a bit scared by the girls' enthusiasm. While he was still in a daze, some of the girls had already started tying his hair into a high ponytail.
All the cheerleading team members had makeup on, with glitter around their eyes resembling mermaid-themed makeup. However, they couldn't do it themselves and could only help Lu Xu apply colorful glitter.
Even with just that, Lu Xu was dazzling enough. Cute and shining, like a little idol.
The girl who tied his hair asked if Lu Xu's ears could stand up, as it would go well with the fluffy high ponytail. In the past, Lu Xu couldn't do it, but now he was more proficient in controlling his body, so he gave it a try.
A pair of cute rabbit ears stood up. However, since Lu Xu hadn't tried it before, he had a bit of trouble controlling it, so one ear only stood up halfway.
Lu Xu apologized, "I seem to be able to do only this."
A girl in front clapped her hands dramatically, "This way, with one ear partially bent, you look even cuter! Like a little rabbit from an animated cartoon!"
The praise made Lu Xu feel shy.
The captain glanced at Lu Xu and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes. "Not bad, it suits you. Now, let us teach you these movements, and you just need to repeat them with us later."
Lu Xu nodded quickly.
Fortunately, the cheerleading moves were not too complicated, especially since Lu Xu had practiced various types of gymnastics before. He followed along, feeling quite confident.
However, the girls around him fell silent.
With a doll-like face and movements that seemed more suitable for peacekeeping than cheerleading, Lu Xu's performance left them puzzled.
The captain pinched her chin, suppressing a smile, and said, "This... will work too."
Lu Xu was a bit confused.
The cheerleading squad members were tall, towering over Lu Xu, who, like most boys in elementary school, was not very tall compared to the girls. Lu Xu was placed in the front row, which made his height more noticeable.
As Lu Xu stood in the center of the field, he suddenly realized that the cheerleading squad was there to support the long-distance runners, and coincidentally, Rong Que was participating in that event.
During the competition, the cheering squads from different classes would rally and encourage their classmates. When it was Rong Que's turn, the cheerleading squad took the stage, and the surrounding area echoed with enthusiastic cheers.
Many people took out their phones to record the performance. The cheerleading squad members were confident and beautiful, drawing attention and applause. However, the girl with the rabbit ears, Lu Xu, stood out in a unique way.
This small round belly, coupled with military-style moves, looks more and more entertaining.
Rong Que noticed Lu Xu when standing on the starting line.
However, he thought he might have seen it wrong.
After all, Lu Xu did not sign up for the cheerleading squad.
Perhaps there was a girl wearing bunny ears headband.
As Rong Que ran over a hundred meters, passing by Lu Xu, he suddenly realized something was off.
This really seemed to be Lu Xu.
Moreover, the familiar military-style gymnastic poses resembled their morning exercises.
Rong Que felt like laughing but managed to hold it in.
When the runners reached the last lap, the cheerleading squad could go to the finish line.
Everyone picked up water bottles from their boxes and ran to the finish line.
Lu Xu also grabbed a cup of water, thinking it was for himself. However, seeing that no one else was drinking, he didn't open it.
Rong Que was still quite relaxed when running the final lap. He spotted Lu Xu standing at the finish line looking a bit clueless, and it was somewhat endearing.
Many people were cheering for their classmates as they approached the finish line. Lu Xu, a bit slower than the others, also joined in the cheering.
Rong Que, with good exercise habits and physical fitness, unsurprisingly secured the first place.
After the long run, a few more steps were taken, and looking at the group of little girls welcoming him, Rong Que chose to hang on Lu Xu. The girls around congratulated and envied the person supporting Rong Que.
Some girls from other classes didn't know that Lu Xu was a boy, thinking that the two little kids had some ambiguous relationship. Lu Xu noticed that Rong Que was tired and then remembered to open the water for him to drink.
Rong Que had just finished the run, and his throat was a bit hoarse, "Carry me for a hundred meters."
"Okay, got it." Lu Xu obediently carried Rong Que.
Leaving behind the envious looks of classmates, Lu Xu felt a bit strange. Rong Que's body temperature was high, constantly radiating heat, and his flesh felt much firmer. It seemed like he was easy to pinch.
After Rong Que rested, he took a sip of water, a smile on his face, "How did you end up joining the cheerleading team?"
Lu Xu explained the situation and unexpectedly started feeling shy. Even when being photographed by so many people in the middle of the playground, he didn't feel shy.
Rong Que seemed to be getting more handsome.
Lu Xu felt that he should be admiring Rong Que. Rong Que grew up quickly, and many little girls already liked him. He excelled in both sports and academics.
Rong Que wasn't aware of what Lu Xu was thinking, but he was already an adult in essence. Being liked by little girls was at most awkward for him. In his eyes, these kids were more like younger siblings, and he couldn't have any other thoughts.
Rong Que still praised Lu Xu for looking good today and took a few photos together.
Rong Que would diligently record every growth process of Lu Xu.
After Rong Que's competition, the two of them wandered around the school. Rong Que rarely allowed Lu Xu to indulge in more snacks today. After all, the sports meet was a time to relax a bit.
In the evening, when school was over, Qi Sui asked Lu Xu with a grin if he had joined the cheerleading team.
Lu Xu was a bit puzzled, "How did Brother Qi Sui know?"
Qi Sui opened Weibo and showed Lu Xu a few trending topics. Lu Xu, already a small internet celebrity, had videos of him switching to the cheerleading team circulating online.
The title was, #LittleInternetCelebrityLuXuCollapsed. However, it was just a gimmick. People who clicked on it found various videos of Lu Xu doing gymnastics from different angles.
The hot comments were almost all like: Hahaha, the little belly is so cute, I'm dying.
Come here, let Auntie pinch your cheeks.
The first time seeing a little bunny with upright ears, it's super cute.
What, the little bunny can actually raise its ears by itself.
Isn't it obvious that it doesn't have enough strength, only completely raising one ear.
The cartoon didn't deceive me.
Doesn't anyone think the little bunny's movements are too determined?
Lu Xu's popularity soared even higher.
Because in his previous Weibo posts, he almost always shared beautiful photos and cute daily moments, as well as some of his drawings.
In the eyes of netizens, Lu Xu is a well-off, top-level human cub, good at everything, and cute with a good personality.
However, this video indeed showed everyone another side of Lu Xu.
Even a top-level human cub has things they are not good at.
And it's so clumsily cute.
Some netizens who used to think that Lu Xu's persona was fake turned into fans after this.
Lu Xu's fans increased significantly with every refresh.
With the support of the Qi family team, the topic's popularity kept rising, and no negative comments appeared.
Lu Xu blushed while reading the comments.
Actually, he thought his jumping was as beautiful as those girls', and that's why he didn't feel shy.
But in this video, he seemed a bit silly, and his belly looked a bit bulged compared to usual.
Seeing Lu Xu's face turning redder, Rong Que knew the kid was feeling embarrassed, so he asked Qi Sui to put the phone away.
Qi Sui had just taken back his phone when he received a video call from his mother.
In the past, Qi Sui might have thought that his mother calling on video meant something urgent. However, the present Qi Sui promptly aimed the selfie camera at Lu Xu.
Qi Sui's mother, upon seeing Lu Xu, excitedly exclaimed, "Why aren't you wearing a little skirt today?!"
Qi Sui interjected, "Mom, don't tease him. He's a bit shy."
Qi Sui's mother glared at Qi Sui and then looked at Lu Xu with a playful smile, "Auntie got inspired after watching the video. Xiao Lu, do you want to wear a magical girl costume?"
Lu Xu nodded obediently. He had long been accustomed to Qi Sui's mother occasionally suggesting him to change outfits. Moreover, he quite liked magical girl costumes compared to short skirts.
He had always loved watching various types of magical girl anime. There were also numerous posts on the school forum about Lu Xu and Rong Que. Rong Que looked too handsome and eye-catching at the sports meeting. Compared to others with fierce expressions, Rong Que's relaxed and beautiful movements caught the attention of many little girls.
Lu Xu's kindergarten friends also came across that Weibo post and specifically took screenshots to praise him, making Lu Xu feel embarrassed throughout the day.
Li Si, who is abroad, has been following Lu Xu's Weibo and updates. Upon seeing this video, he wrote a heartfelt essay expressing his love, regret, and tearful emotions.
Lu Xu didn't finish reading it.
Li Si is getting to know more characters and is increasingly fond of using elaborate language.
In no time, he received a short essay from Rong Li expressing similar sentiments.
Rong Li expressed praise for Lu Xu in a subtle and reserved manner, being both shy and exaggerated in complimenting him extensively.
Lu Xu felt that these two friends seemed oddly similar.
If they were to meet, they would probably have a lot in common.
Although the innocent Lu Xu never thought that the common topic would turn out to be himself.

The six years of elementary school passed relatively smoothly. As they approached sixth grade, the workload increased, but Lu Xu adapted well. His relationship with Rong Que remained close and friendly.
The two smoothly advanced to the experimental junior high school.
During the summer vacation after graduating from elementary school, Qi Sui took everyone on a trip abroad.
They also took the opportunity to meet Li Si.
However, not seeing Li Si for six years, his transformation was frighteningly significant.
Perhaps the appearance of foreigners matures quickly; Li Si already looked no different from domestic high school students. His demeanor was mature, and he had a somewhat romantic and dashing air.
His golden, slightly curled hair fell in a way that partially covered his large double eyelids, making him appear even more like a passionate and charismatic wanderer.
Lu Xu was amazed. Li Si now resembled the handsome male protagonists in American TV dramas, even though Lu Xu thought that foreigners all looked somewhat similar.
Still, Lu Xu couldn't help but feel a bit envious of such a mature demeanor.
