Chapter 1: Love Rival... How Annoying!
"Lin Yibai, let’s break up."
"Why?"
"You’re a good person, I’m sorry..."
So just because I’m a good person, I get dumped with a "good person card"?
It had been three days since the breakup, but Lin Yibai still hadn’t recovered from the sadness.
The dormitory was empty on the weekend. All the roommates had gone out to work part-time jobs.
In the past, because dating was expensive, Lin Yibai had always been the most active one in picking up extra jobs.
Now? He didn’t even have a girlfriend anymore.
Lying on the bed, he didn’t feel like moving at all. His eyes were full of emptiness.
"I can't keep being like this. At least... I should find something to do!"
He got up and opened his laptop.
The next moment, a pop-up window appeared:
【Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to become a woman and get revenge on your ex-girlfriend?】
【Yes】
【No】
“???”
What does getting revenge on your ex-girlfriend have to do with becoming a woman?
Become a girl and steal her new boyfriend?
Not only had he been dumped by his girlfriend, now even his laptop seemed to be infected with some crazy virus.
Lin Yibai picked up the laptop and looked it over.
He patted the laptop case, blew into the power port to clear out the dust.
Pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del → Task Manager.
And ran a virus scan.
Nothing wrong was found.
So Lin Yibai firmly pressed 【No】!
Then another pop-up appeared:
【When a woman says "No," she usually means "Yes"!】
And then, nothing happened.
"Hey, hey, who wrote this stupid virus?!"
If his roommates were here, Lin Yibai would already be shouting, ‘Brothers, come and laugh at this dumb virus written by some unknown middle-aged bald loser!’
Just as Lin Yibai thought he had found a little something to laugh about during his heartbreak,
A flash of electricity shot out from the laptop’s camera!
The next moment, arcs of electricity flickered, and with a loud bang, Lin Yibai was knocked unconscious by his own laptop.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious.
When he finally woke up, He found that he was completely fine. But the laptop was truly blown up.
The good news: he was okay.
The bad news:
"Ahh! My laptop!"
It was the laptop that his ex-girlfriend Gu Xiaoxue had given up, and Lin Yibai had always treasured it.
Once he fully calmed down, he noticed something strange. There was a charging bar showing up inside his eyes.
【Female Correction Value: 1%】
【Note 1: When the “Correction Value” reaches 100%, you will temporarily become a girl.】
【Note 2: With the current “Correction Value” at 1%, you have gained some female characteristics. Depending on how you behave after becoming a girl, the maximum and minimum correction limits may increase or decrease.】
“?”
“Oh no, did the explosion make me hallucinate?” Lin Yibai thought he was seeing things after the laptop blast.
It even said something about gaining female traits?
He quickly checked his whole body but didn’t find anything strange.
He even measured a certain important part with a ruler to be sure, and only then breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Turns out, it was just a false alarm."
But really, what’s the difference between a man and a woman at just 1% change?
Lin Yibai honestly couldn’t tell at all!
He had thought about going to the school clinic for a check-up, but since he really felt fine, he decided not to worry about it.
He couldn’t help but feel sad about his poor laptop again.
By evening, his roommates, who had been out working at the logistics park, came back.
When they saw that Lin Yibai’s laptop had exploded, their dorm leader, Yang Chenjun, laughed and said, "Hahaha, see what happens when you don’t come work part-time with us?"
Lin Yibai rolled his eyes, "Like your laptop wouldn’t blow up if you worked part-time too."
The other two roommates quickly joined in.
"Xiao Bai, are you having bad luck recently?"
"Of course he is! First he got dumped, and now even the old laptop from his ex blew up. Tsk tsk tsk."
"My breakup with Xiaoxue is just temporary," Lin Yibai still stubbornly argued.
They could joke about him all they wanted, but saying bad things about Xiaoxue was not allowed.
"Xiao Bai, you’re still lying to yourself."
"Xiao Bai, just give up already!"
"You really think Gu Xiaoxue actually liked you? Honestly, you’re doing better now after the breakup."
"......."
His good buddies really did care about him, and to be honest, they didn’t have a good opinion of Gu Xiaoxue either.
Just look at what happened with the exploded laptop.
Lin Yibai had worked day and night for two months to save up and buy a brand-new laptop.
At first, the guys were excited to use it together to play games. But the very next day, Gu Xiaoxue took it away, saying her own laptop was too slow.
Slow? All she did was watch shows!
The guys had been super mad for Lin Yibai ever since.
But hearing them talk like this just made Lin Yibai feel even worse, so he pulled out his secret weapon.
"I’m going to the cafeteria."
Whoa, the cafeteria!
"Bring me a green pepper and egg rice bowl!"
"I want a grilled mackerel set meal, thanks!"
"Me me me, dumplings, please!"
Humph! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
After being brothers for so many years, of course Lin Yibai knew how to boss them around!
But why should he bring them food just because they asked?
Lin Yibai took a deep breath and said seriously, "Call me daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Father!"
"Oppa!!"
Perfect. Today, he got himself three obedient sons again.
The Three "Father-Level" Duties in a College Dorm:
Bring food, turn off the lights, and answer roll call for early morning classes.
Their friendship was really solid. Back when Lin Yibai was dating Gu Xiaoxue, he often borrowed food from his buddies when he ran out of money at the end of the month.
And honestly, working at the logistics park was super tiring. Lin Yibai had done it before too.
Those bosses didn’t just let you sort packages, boys were basically used as heavy labor. It was exhausting.
Now it was April, right at the change from spring to summer.
In Fucheng, temperatures were already above 30°C (around 86°F). Lin Yibai put on a pair of shorts and a white shirt and headed out.
Back in the dorm, dorm leader Yang Chenjun wiped his back with a towel. When he casually glanced at Lin Yibai’s legs, he couldn’t help but say in surprise.
"Hey, have you guys noticed? Xiao Bai’s legs look... a lot whiter?"
"Brother Yang, I didn’t know you were into that kind of thing!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I misjudged you!"
"Get lost!" Yang Chenjun got angry and defended himself. "I, Yang Chenjun, am an upright man, full of righteousness! If I ever have bad thoughts about Xiao Bai, may I get hit by a dump truck on the spot!"
Unfortunately, Lin Yibai didn’t hear any of this.
When he got to the cafeteria, it was peak meal time. He ordered food from a few different stalls and found an empty seat to wait.
The whole cafeteria was buzzing with noise.
And right then, a few girls walked by.
"Damn, it’s Xiaoxue’s roommates..."
Lin Yibai instinctively lowered his head, trying to hide. He didn’t have a good impression of them at all.
Basically, they ate more than pigs when freeloading off others, also their help and support were totally out of proportion.
Right now, it was best to avoid them.
"Hey, did you hear? Xiaoxue’s new boyfriend is amazing! He’s one of the top ten talents at our school and a young entrepreneur. If he gets his funding, he’ll be a millionaire soon!"
What?!
Xiaoxue has a new boyfriend?
It’s only been three days since we broke up!
No way.
Absolutely no way.
Xiaoxue isn’t that kind of girl.
They must be lying!
