Chapter 12: Brother, Are You... Maybe Gay?
He really wanted to know what she looked like under that mask.
But for Xia Changyu, what mattered more right now was that he seemed to have been misunderstood.
Lin Baiyi had finally won a round, and now that the computer was fixed, she had enough points to turn back into a guy.
So, she started acting all proud and confident.
Then, she walked past Xia Changyu.
“Hey, actually I...” Xia Changyu still felt he should explain something. He didn’t care much about rumors, but he also didn’t think it was necessary to be misunderstood like this.
But just as he raised his hand, he accidentally touched the brim of Lin Baiyi’s cap.
The next second, her baseball cap fell off.
Lin Baiyi’s hair wasn’t long. Just a little longer than the short hairstyles some high school girls have.
But the skin between her eyebrows was very fair and smooth. And her bright, lively eyes were clear, like a cheerful girl from a dream.
The breeze gently moved her bangs and brushed across Xia Changyu’s eyes, leaving a memory he wouldn’t forget.
Then—
“Hmph~”
The girl gave a cold little snort. She was quicker than Xia Changyu and caught her falling cap.
Trying to act cool in front of me? No way that’s happening.
“Oh no... I think she has a bad impression of me.” Xia Changyu was confused.
He didn’t think he had done anything to upset her...
Besides, he already had a girlfriend! How could he be having random thoughts like that?
After a whole night to calm down, he was no longer so shocked by Gu Xiaoxue’s dorm mates. As long as they didn’t keep causing drama, he still thought Gu Xiaoxue was great.
And at least he learned something useful. Before leaving the girls' dorm, he overheard one of the girls say that her name was Lin Baiyi.
Such a pretty name.
He remembered it.
After leaving the dorm, Lin Baiyi found a place to hide.
She waited until the transformation timer finished counting down: 3, 2, 1.
Her girl form began to disappear, and her male body started coming back, especially the little one below.
He checked briefly and finally let out a sigh of relief:
“Good... the size is still the same.”
But then the system panel in front of him changed again:
【Female Conversion Value: 2%】
【Note: Your new starting point is now 2%. Some parts of your body are starting to change.】
“Hey, hey, hey! That’s not funny!” Lin Baiyi started to panic.
“Yesterday the starting point was 1%, now it’s 2%? Are you messing with me?”
“Hello?!”
But sadly, no system voice appeared to explain anything.
That made Lin Baiyi feel like he was the frog in boiling water, being slowly cooked without noticing.
Today it’s 1%.
Tomorrow it’s 2%.
Today they take five cities, tomorrow they take ten...
Then one day you wake up, and—bam! You’re a girl!
The only good news was that little one was still fine.
But just like he didn’t know what the difference between 1% and 2% really was, he still had no clue what kind of changes had happened.
“This dumb thing even told me that some parts of me are truly turning into a girl… Ugh, whatever, I just hope it’s not too bad.”
Lin Baiyi sighed. Like many guys, he wasn’t super sensitive about this stuff.
As long as that part was still okay. He didn’t care much what else changed. He wouldn’t freak out.
Never underestimate a guy’s stubbornness when it comes to certain things. Like, even if you don’t use it or need it, you still want it to be there. As long as it’s still “hanging on,” life feels okay.
Lin Baiyi felt like he was the frog being slowly boiled alive.
The “decoration” is still there, but the rest of his body is slowly being taken over.
When he stepped into the sunlight again. He could finally take off his mask and remove his hat.
He felt like life was beautiful again. Even the sadness from his breakup didn’t seem that heavy anymore.
He pulled out his phone and took a look.
Oh boy.
Yang Chenjun was searching the whole world for him, almost going crazy.
[Xiao Bai, where are you? Come back right now.]
[Xiao Bai, I need you.]
[Lin Yibai~~~~ Please, I’m begging you. Just send me a message, okay? The brothers are really worried about you.]
Yeah right. He wasn’t actually worried. He just wanted Lin Yibai to come back so he could check if he was really still a guy. If not, Yang Chenjun felt like he was going to lose his mind.
The more Lin Yibai didn’t reply, the more Yang Chenjun suspected something. Maybe he was guilty and hiding something?
So clearly, it wasn’t his own fault. The one in the wrong must be Lin Yibai.
Lin Yibai cracked his knuckles and typed a reply:
[What do you want from your daddy?]
Ding-dong~
[Xiao Bai! You finally replied! What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you answer me?]
Yang Chenjun replied instantly, he’d been staring at his phone the whole time.
Why didn’t he reply?
Lin Yibai thought for a moment and then just typed out angrily:
[Didn’t I tell you I was sick? I went to the hospital by myself to get an IV drip. I didn’t even have time to hold the bottle, and you still expect me to text you right away? What’s wrong with you?]
So… Xiao Bai went to the hospital?
Yang Chenjun suddenly remembered. Oh right, his buddy did say he was sick.
And to make the lie more believable, Lin Yibai even went to the pharmacy and bought some cold medicine, which cost so much it almost broke his heart.
But now—
“I can finally go back to the dorm!” Lin Yibai almost wanted to cry.
It had been so hard just to get back to the dorm!
And on top of that, the "Correction Value" had secretly gone up again. He didn’t even know when he might turn into a girl next.
This made him realize something. His time as a guy... was getting shorter and shorter.
The good days... Well, the days as a girl were still ahead of him!
Just as he was feeling emotional, he got dragged off by Yang Chenjun as soon as he walked into the dorm.
Yang grabbed him and pushed him down into a chair, then suddenly reached for his leg.
“What are you doing?! You pervert?!” Lin Yibai was shocked.
“Don’t move. Let me see.”
“???”
Their two other roommates looked over, confused.
It was broad daylight, and all the guys were in the room. It’s not like Brother Yang was “gay” or something...
So what exactly was he trying to see?
Lin Yibai started trembling and shouted. “Brother Yang! Calm down first!”
“Brother Yang, I didn’t know you were into this?”
“Brother Yang, you’ve changed.”
“......”
“You’ve turned... a little too rainbow-flavored.”
“Guys! Can someone save me already? I’m scared!”
Yang Chenjun got more serious. He told everyone not to be fooled by Lin Yibai’s looks.
“You guys don’t understand what kind of person is hiding behind that face. Because you’ve never touched Lin Yibai’s legs. You don’t know how soft and smooth they are.”
“Brother Yang, let’s talk this through, let go of my leg first!”
“No!”
“Brother Yang, yamete kudasai!”
“Heh... today I will expose your true form, Xiao Bai… Show me your real self!!”
“......”
At that moment, a bunch of students had gathered at the door.
They had heard the commotion, and when they came in, they saw Yang Chenjun hugging Lin Yibai’s leg. His hand was even rubbing up along Lin Yibai’s calf with a very creepy look on his face...
But then, a weird itchy feeling appeared. Because Lin Yibai had already turned back into a guy. And anyone who’s touched a guy’s leg before... knows.
Yang Chenjun’s face froze. A big drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Crap... now he really did look like a pervert.
“Guys... I can explain!”
But the others ran away in fear, afraid they’d be next.
“Did you hear? That guy in Dorm 307, Yang Chenjun, might be... into guys.”
“Seriously creepy stuff, man.”
