The Whole World Thinks I’m a Woman Disguised as a Man

“Su Yiyu?!” Qi Siyu reprimanded.

Su Yiyu’s body trembled. He croaked in a frenzy. “S-Sorry…”

“Sorry for what?!” Qi Siyu burst with rage from his attitude.

The cold sweat on Su Yiyu’s forehead instantly tumbled down. His lips were pale and trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Having missed the chance to swiftly eliminate both opponents from their earlier advantageous angle, a sense of resentment naturally stirred in people’s hearts.

The more Qi Siyu thought about it, the more he thought the situation wasn’t that simple. He said in frustration, “Are you…”

“Give chase.”

Xue Lan’s voice cut off Qi Siyu’s words and he saw a figure rushing out from the concealed underbrush. It seemed that despite exposing themselves, they still intended to detain the opponent.

Before Qi Siyu could stop him, Meng Weiran had already followed with a raised gun! Since his two teammates had directly charged onward, he could only grit his teeth and follow.

The enemy assaulter and medic swiftly retreated, making it exceedingly difficult for Xue Lan to pursue them from his current position.

But it just so happened that he was wielding a gun that allowed him to graze a few bullets, targeting the opponents who remained within the farthest shooting range and gradually depleting their health bars. The two had to take cover in a nearby shelter, using it to recover and fire at Xue Lan and Meng Weiran, who were on their tails.

“Don’t chase too close!” Qi Siyu warned as he watched the positions on the map.

Xue Lan gave a response. Taking cover behind his own shelter, he carefully gauged the distance to the opposing shelter before swiftly hurling a grenade out.

As the grenade made contact with the ground, Xue Lan and Meng Weiran dashed out of the shelter without a moment’s hesitation. They knew they must be quick. Otherwise, their side would be pushed into an overwhelmingly passive position once the enemy’s support players arrived.

Qi Siyu chased the two as he increased their buff while he shouted into the group mic, “And where are you two?!”

When he turned his head, although Su Yiyu was running forward, he was too far behind them. And Duan Wenzheng at the high ground — whether it was because it was out of his range, he was unable to provide support.

Qi Siyu’s heart couldn’t settle down, but Xue Lan had already charged ahead.

As if that assaulter knew shooting Xue Lan and Meng Weiran would be hard because of their agile movements, every time he turned as he ran, he would target Qi Siyu instead.

“Stop chasing!” Qi Siyu spat out. He healed himself as he said, “Be careful of any potential ambushes!”

But at this moment, both sides were already engaged in a tense battle. Even if he wanted to retreat, with his teammates fully immersed in the fiery chaos of combat. Calling for their withdrawal would be impossible.

Xue Lan’s grenade had successfully forced the two enemies out. This time, they decided to prioritize eliminating the enemy medic. They focused their combined firepower on the medic and swiftly eliminated the support player who prioritized healing their teammates over protecting themselves.

Soon after, both of them swiftly changed their arm to the assaulter, Frank.

But Frank was way too sly — he nimbly evaded the shots to his vital parts. Seeing he would hide in the shelter with only a little health left, Qi Siyu called out, “Reset, shoot!!”

But Duan Wenzheng did not respond and did not shoot.

As Qi Siyu anticipated that Frank, positioned behind the shelter, would retreat back to his base within the dense forest, Frank unexpectedly reemerged from behind the shelter after a brief pause. With a rapid burst of two shots, Qi Siyu, unable to react in time, was eliminated in a single strike!

“Fuck?!”

Qi Siyu stared at the grayed screen with terror. His fist pounded against the keyboard.

“Where’s Su Yiyu!?” He turned around and said to Su Yiyu, who was next to him, “The fuck were you doing?! Didn’t you know you were supposed to protect me?!”

Su Yiyu recoiled at his words, but he had just caught up to Xue Lan and Meng Weiran’s side.

Frank exploited the shelter’s advantage with rapid shooting. Although Xue Lan also fired instantly, he was still able to save Qi Siyu for the medic’s life.

When he had eliminated Frank, he still did not put his gun away. He only signaled Su Yiyu and Meng Weiran to carefully retreat with him.

“Someone seems to be on the tree ahead.”

Meng Weiran quickly ducked inside the shelter at one side and changed his angle to the old tree Xue Lan pointed out.

Xue Lan also followed him into the shelter. He had only noticed Su Yiyu was still standing in the open space.

“Su Yiyu, go find cover!”

Su Yiyu returned to his senses at a loss. He lifted his stiff fingers to find shelter, but at this moment, a burst of light footsteps entered Xue Lan’s ears —

Too late, the enemy’s reinforcements had arrived.

Xue Lan’s already tense mood reached its peak. Beside him, Meng Weiran’s health was visibly unfavorable. In the distance lurked the hidden enemy sniper while Deng Ruiqiu and their other teammate were closing in on them.

But he was most worried about Su Yiyu’s situation.

Indeed, the next second, Deng Ruiqiu came rushing with another teammate.

But they completely ignored the fully exposed Su Yiyu — they charged straight toward the shelter where Xue Lan was hiding.

A cacophony of inquiries erupted from all corners of the training room.

“What’s happening? Is that assaulter intentionally feeding*??”

*T/N: Intentional feeding or game feeder is a situation where a player deliberately provides kills or advantages to the enemy team in a game, causing their own team to lose.

“Shit isn’t this too conspicuous? How could we encounter such a person in the training camp?!”

……

Xue Lan’s brows furrowed, but his gaze stayed fixed on the figure that seemed to flash past above the tree.

The enemy sniper was not within the range of him and Meng Weiran, and until now, Duan Wenzheng still had not fired a single shot ever since he found a high vantage point…

They had made extra sure this was the right location. They definitely can’t let this once-in-a-lifetime chance slip.

Then…

Thinking until this point, Xue Lan leaned out from behind the shelter in a composed manner and aimed his gun at Deng Ruiqiu!

At that very moment, a faint gunshot from a distant place reached his ears!

That bullet was flying directly toward his partially-exposed self!
