Cross-Dressing Boss with Great Skills × Thick-Skinned Chatterbox Making Do 7

The elegant dining table of Chun Yuxi was filled with a row of bright red take-out boxes of crayfish, brimming with the atmosphere of roadside stalls and open-air restaurants. Two white double-petaled lilies were arranged in a vase on the table, their faint fragrance completely overwhelmed by the spicy aroma of the crayfish.

Guo Rong and her son Guo Qian sat at the table, rubbing their hands in anticipation as they began peeling the crayfish with familiarity. Where they lived, various open-air restaurants popped up every summer, with crayfish being a staple. Occasionally, after a session at an internet cafe, if they smelled the enticing aroma on their way home, Guo Rong would take her son to eat a couple of pounds of crayfish to satisfy their cravings.

Despite his young age, Guo Qian's speed in eating crayfish was not inferior to his mother's, a result of years of practice. This was because his mother was unlike other mothers who would let their children eat first and have their fill before eating themselves.

At the dining table, there was no distinction between mother and son. Good and bad food were shared equally between them, but how much each person could eat depended on their own speed.

Therefore, Guo Qian never developed the picky eating habits of other children. Among the children of similar age on their street back then, every one of them needed their parents or grandparents to chase after them with a bowl to feed them during meals. Only he competed with his mother for food every day, his appetite growing stronger and stronger, his height surpassing his peers by more than half a head.

The two of them ate with such gusto that Chun Yuxi felt like he was getting hungry too. This was unscientific, as he was clearly full. Usually at this time, he would exercise a bit and wouldn't feel hungry. But the salty and spicy aroma permeating the room was so appetizing it made his mouth water.

It had been many years since he last ate this. Chun Yuxi pretended to casually pick up a glass of water and took a sip, lest the sound of him swallowing his saliva be heard.

"Ahh-- refreshing!" Guo Rong gulped down a big mouthful of iced beer. Guo Qian looked at her enviously, wanting to drink too, but at his young age, it was obvious Guo Rong wouldn't let him drink alcohol.

Chun Yuxi: "..." Strange, he felt increasingly hungry.

Guo Rong noticed the handsome man's eager eyes and secretly laughed. "Hey, friend, come and eat some too. This crayfish tastes great!"

Chun Yuxi coughed and blinked his long eyelashes, pretending to decline. "It's not good, I usually don't eat anything at this hour..." His tone then changed: "But it's not very nice to let guests sit at the dining table by themselves. I'll join you and eat a little."

He got up and walked to the opposite side of Guo Rong, reaching out to take a large-clawed crayfish.

"I'll just have two," he said with a smile.

In the end, he ate two pounds. Because he previously felt that the four pounds Guo Rong mentioned wasn't enough, he ordered six pounds, which the three of them split roughly evenly.

"This portion is too small, you must not be full. Why don't we order some more?" Chun Yuxi naturally forgot what he had said before.

Guo Rong readily agreed, "Sure."

As we all know, if you have friends around who can eat a lot, you will unconsciously eat more too. So when Chun Yuxi came back to his senses, he found that he had broken his habit and eaten two meals of crayfish late at night, stuffing himself.

Forget it, it was just one meal, it shouldn't be a problem, Chun Yuxi comforted himself. After washing up and lying in bed, he still felt a sense of guilt. Having no choice, he got up, put on a face mask, and went to the treadmill for a slow jog, at least giving himself some mental solace.

Guo Rong and Guo Qian also took a shower. Guo Rong wore a dress that Chun Yuxi had bought before but found unsatisfactory and never wore. As a crossdresser, he naturally had no shortage of women's clothing at home. Although it was a bit large, it looked much better than the ones Guo Rong bought herself. As for Guo Qian, he just put on one of Chun Yuxi's old T-shirts. The mother and son stayed in the guest room and went to bed early.

Chun Yuxi had a healthy lifestyle and would get up early in the morning to run a few laps around the man-made lake in the neighborhood. When he finished his run and returned, he had the fortune of witnessing the scene of Guo Qian tugging at his mother's feet, trying to wake her up.

Chun Yuxi wondered how she could possibly continue sleeping so soundly with half her body hanging off the bed.

Guo Qian gave up and sat on the sofa, sighing with the air of an old man, "Forget it, let her sleep. I can't wake her up."

Chun Yuxi was amused by him and personally made him toast and heated up some milk. After the two of them finished eating, Guo Rong still hadn't woken up. Chun Yuxi took Guo Qian to turn on the computer. His home had a dedicated gaming room with four sets of gaming computer equipment. Occasionally, he would invite his studio buddies over to play, and this would come in handy.

Guo Qian sat in a computer chair, looking at the computer with its fast running speed and excellent internet, his eyes radiating excitement and fondness. He logged into the game and played a round, feeling that the gaming experience was superb. The old computers with average configurations in the internet cafe naturally couldn't compare to this professional setup. Moreover, it had all sorts of games installed, including the ones Guo Qian usually played.

He didn't think to be wary of the gentle and harmless-looking man beside him. He logged into his games one by one and began handling various challenges and quests according to his usual habits.

Chun Yuxi admitted that bringing the kid to play games was also partly because he wanted to see if he was truly "Unrivaled".

He watched as Guo Qian skillfully logged into Sword of Magic, logged into the "Unrivaled" account, and casually played a few rounds in the arena against others. Seeing with his own eyes how this seven-year-old child, with his superb keenness and foresight, won three consecutive rounds in the arena, Chun Yuxi had no more doubts. Seeing the other games he played besides Sword of Magic, and how he played each one well, Chun Yuxi only had one thought in his mind: genius.

He touched his own handsome chin, thinking, how come other people's sons are so amazing? Why don't I have such an amazing son? Let alone a son, I don't even have a girlfriend.

"If only you were my dad," Guo Qian suddenly sighed.

Chun Yuxi: "...Why do you say that? Your father...?"

He wasn't very clear about the mother and son's situation and was afraid that asking might have a negative impact on such a young child. But obviously, the rough son raised by the rough mother didn't have such delicate thoughts.

He sighed simply, "If you were my dad, I could play games here all the time! I don't have a dad. My mom said she doesn't know who my dad is. Every time she mentions it, she rolls her eyes. I think my dad might be a big villain, either dead or in jail."

Chun Yuxi didn't know what to say. He patted his head, "So your mother raised you all by herself?"

"Yeah, she works very hard," Guo Qian's voice was a bit muffled. "That's why I want to grow up and make money soon, so I can support her."

Chun Yuxi's mind wandered a bit. He also grew up with his mother when he was young. His biological father was a live-in son-in-law who later earned money outside and married other women, abandoning him and his mother in their hometown for many years without any contact. In those years, his mother raised him alone. He also often thought about growing up quickly so he could take good care of her and she wouldn't have to work so hard anymore.

Unfortunately, his mother passed away before he grew up, and his father, who hadn't been able to have another son for many years, remembered him and brought him to live with him.

"Hey, do you want to play a game with my studio colleagues?" Chun Yuxi suddenly asked.

Guo Qian happily agreed, "Sure! Are they very good? I can't usually find anyone who can beat me."

Chun Yuxi affectionately patted the head of this ignorant little genius, "Don't worry, they are all very skilled." He guaranteed they would educate him well.

He called the guys in his studio and told them to get online, ready to be schooled one by one. As expected, Guo Qian was pounded to the ground by a group of hardcore adults and couldn't get up. Although he was good, he was just an amateur player after all and hadn't undergone enough training.

Chun Yuxi wasn't surprised by this result at all, but Guo Qian couldn't accept it. He was fired up and went for a few more rounds, improving visibly.

Seeing his rapid growth, Chun Yuxi cried in his heart again - he really wanted a son like this!

Guo Rong woke up after sleeping enough and found that the world had suddenly changed while she was asleep. Her son and Chun Yuxi were sitting together playing games affectionately, like a pair of close father and son.

Chun Yuxi, who had been so polite and elegant the day before, held her hand and said to her like a head teacher who had discovered a promising talent, "Qian Qian's mom, your son is really amazing. Have you considered training him?"

Guo Rong pulled out her hand, rubbed the corners of her eyes, still a bit groggy, "What the heck?"

Chun Yuxi: "It's like this, I want to hire your son as a game tester for our company. Of course, the hours will be very flexible, considering his age, and it won't be too tiring."

He had asked Guo Qian many things and understood their living situation. After thinking for a morning, he felt that leaving such a little genius alone was really heartbreaking. In the end, he made this decision. Rather than hiring, it was more like a long-term investment.

Guo Rong: "Employing child labor is illegal."

Chun Yuxi: "He will be an off-the-books employee. Although his treatment will be equivalent to a formal employee, I will run the accounts separately and nominally allocate it to you. This is the salary I'm prepared to offer him." He stated a monthly salary figure.

Guo Rong was silent for a while. Chun Yuxi couldn't tell from her expression whether she was willing or not. Just as he was thinking that the salary might not be generous enough, he felt Guo Rong suddenly grab his hand. Guo Rong's tone instantly became ten degrees sweeter, "Boss, what do you think of me? The son is okay, but the mother is also available. I'm super awesome at playing games too!"

Chun Yuxi: "?"

Chun Yuxi: "Let's try it first and see if you're any good."

Guo Rong: "Boss, feel free to test me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Chun Yuxi thought to himself, why does this conversation sound so improper? He is a proper boss. He didn't have high expectations watching Guo Rong play the game, but after watching for a while, he couldn't help but stand up straight. This... her skills are also quite good. It turns out that a child's gaming talent is hereditary?

"Not bad, I'm personally quite satisfied. You can also join our company. As for the compensation..."

"Wait." Guo Rong raised her hand, looked around to see that Guo Qian wasn't there, then leaned close to Chun Yuxi and said softly, "Compensation is easy to discuss. I want to ask if you can help solve my son's schooling issue, boss?"

Chun Yuxi: "Is he missing some documents that prevent him from attending school?" If it's just that, it's quite easy to resolve.

Guo Rong whispered, "No, he just doesn't want to go to school. I can't handle him. Later, you just tell him that if he wants to work at your company and always play fun games with other masters, he must go to school."

Chun Yuxi's expression turned serious, "Not wanting to go to school, that's a bit of a serious problem."

Guo Rong sighed, "Being a single mother is really tiring. My son is rebellious, breaking my heart."

Seeing Guo Rong like this, Chun Yuxi thought of his own mother. His heart softened, and he found himself promising, "Alright, I'll handle getting him to go to school."

The gloomy Guo Rong instantly perked up, shaking his hand vigorously, "The future of our mother and son is in your hands, boss!"
