Chapter 8: What Happened to the Promise of Letting the Brothers "Enjoy" First if One of Us Turned Into a Girl?
Regret. Xia Changyu was full of regret.
Why did he have to focus so much on whether that girl was wearing a bra or not?
Look what happened now! He got treated like a pervert, is that what he wanted?
But to be honest, after Lin Yibai turned into a girl, she really left a deep impression on him.
She looked quiet, beautiful, and very graceful.
Not wearing a bra? That was wild and unpredictable.
……………………………………………
“…Hey brothers, does anyone know a girl like this? She was wearing short shorts and a white T-shirt. Her legs were super fair and long, and really good-looking. Oh, and she had on a baseball cap. I’m desperate, replying online now,” Xia Changyu didn’t even know why he was posting a missing-person message like that on the school forum.
Maybe it was because he couldn’t forget her?
He was still hoping that maybe he could meet her again somewhere on campus. But the school forum was full of nonsense. And soon, some friends recognized his account.
“Yo! Isn’t this Young Master Yu? Didn’t you just get a girlfriend? Why are you already looking at other girls?”
“Don’t tell me you’re talking about your own girlfriend!”
“Showing off your love like that, you’ll break up fast.”
“Ugh! Stop feeding us this lovey-dovey stuff!”
“……”
That’s when Xia Changyu finally remembered. He already had a girlfriend. So he quickly took down the post and let out a long sigh.
He just hoped that girl wouldn’t misunderstand. But it didn’t really matter if she did or not.
Because now, Lin Yibai definitely hated him.
The whole way back, she was muttering angry things under her breath, like she wanted to tear Xia Changyu to pieces.
“Xia Changyu, huh? You stupid dead fish! I wish I could peel your skin, pull out your tendons, and roast you over a fire! I want to poke your eyes out so you understand, being a creep is not okay! Aaaaahhh I’m so mad!”
Another day of being driven crazy by her love rival.
Lin Yibai tried so hard to understand, how did she lose?
What was so great about that dead fish?
Why did Xiaoxue choose him?
Lin Yibai was getting more and more frustrated. She let out a soft sigh.
“Sigh…”
And then, a bigger problem hit her. How was she supposed to go back now, looking like this?
She and her brothers had made a promise. If anyone ever turned into a girl, they had to let the brothers “have fun” first.
“No way!” Lin Yibai shook her head, her now-pretty face looking serious. “I’m the one who actually turned into a girl!”
It was like if you really owned a cow worth a million yuan. If it were her brothers who turned into girls, she’d tie them to the bed herself. And then say, ‘Please keep your promise, thanks.’
“Sure, we said that... but still.”
In the end, Lin Yibai made a heartbreaking decision. She decided to break her promise.
She looked at the progress bar in front of her eyes.
Her "Female Correction Value" was slowly going down. It had dropped from 100% at the start to about 96%.
She guessed, “At this rate, I should be back to normal in about 24 hours.”
But then she wondered, what controls how fast it goes up or down?
She remembered, when she found out Gu Xiaoxue had a new boyfriend, she felt really hurt and the bar had shot up quickly.
The instructions even said the transformation bar changes based on her behavior and emotions.
“So does that mean… my mood and how I act can affect the transformation level too?”
She couldn’t help but whisper to herself. But her head was too full, she was overwhelmed.
She gave up thinking.
Right now, she just needed to figure out how to get back to the dorm without letting her friends “enjoy” her by accident.
She found a place to sit.
Time slowly passed. The level dropped a little more.
But it was still far from enough, even by the time the dorm lights started to go out.
Ding-dong~
The dorm leader, Yang Chenjun, couldn’t help but send a message.
[Why aren’t you back yet? Don’t tell me you got tricked and had your kidney stolen!]
[Get lost! I picked up a part-time job this afternoon, working as a waiter in a hotel. The stupid manager keeps delaying our pay and making us work overtime. I’ll be back late.]
[That part-time job sounds terrible.]
[Exactly!]
[Be careful out there!]
[Can’t talk now, the dumb manager is making us move tables again. It’s super tiring, and the pay is ridiculously low.]
A lot of part-time jobs for college students are really bad.
So the excuse Lin Yibai gave didn’t make Yang Chenjun suspicious at all.
That meant she could keep waiting.
It was 11 PM… almost midnight.
Can she go back now? she thought about the sleep schedule of her roommates. Then shook her head.
“Better wait a little longer.”
Almost 1 AM, finally.
Lin Yibai quietly sneaked up to the boys’ dorm building, feeling nervous. How should she describe this feeling?
It felt like walking into a tiger’s den or a dangerous cave. She slapped her own face and told herself firmly.
“What are you thinking? My brothers… I mean, the good guys in the boys’ dorm aren’t that bad. It’s not like just because I turned into a girl, I’d never make it back out alive.”
“Tsk~” she spat lightly, feeling embarrassed by her own imagination.
She warned herself again, stop watching those weird “educational” videos.
Then took a deep breath and went inside.
Luckily, it was very late now, and the hallways were almost empty.
First floor… second floor…
On the third floor… oh no, trouble!
She spotted a guy lying outside his room, trying to stay cool.
It was too hot in Fucheng’s summer, and the boys’ dorm didn’t have air conditioning.
That guy probably couldn't take it anymore, so he put four or five chairs together and was lying across them.
And Lin Yibai’s room was on the third floor.
Should she wait longer? She shook her head and tiptoed past him.
“Whew, he didn’t wake up.”
She opened the door and went inside. But the guy wasn’t sleeping well. He sensed someone walk past him.
He opened his eyes and thought, ‘Wait, where did that girl come from?’
He was about to go back to sleep… when he suddenly realized.
Wait—a girl??
He instantly sat up, shocked.
And most importantly, which room did that girl go into?
He was sure he wasn’t dreaming.
There really was a girl who walked past him just now. He could still smell her perfume in the air. And she had entered some dorm room.
“Hmph, must be here to visit her boyfriend late at night… doing who-knows-what. There’s no way she’s staying in the boys’ dorm all night, right?”
He figured she’d leave in 5 to 10 minutes, tops.
So he pretended to sleep… While secretly getting ready to gossip.
First headline: “Mysterious girl meets boyfriend at midnight.”
Then: “A guy in our dorm is a beast, 30 minutes and still going.”
And finally: “Four guys, one girl?”
………………………………………
Meanwhile, Lin Yibai knew nothing about any of that.
After she returned to the room, she saw that most of her roommates were already asleep.
Why most of them?
Because inside Yang Chenjun’s bed curtain, there was still a faint light from his phone.
He opened the curtain a little and whispered, “You’re back?”
“Uh~”
Lin Yibai’s back stiffened in panic.
Luckily, the room was dark enough, and Yang Chenjun didn’t realize that his “brother” had become a girl.
Lin Yibai couldn’t speak right now.
So she typed on her phone and send him:
[Yeah. I also brought you guys some leftovers from the hotel. You’ve all worked part-time jobs there too, so you know the food I brought is clean. Also, don’t talk anymore. It might wake the others.]
[Okay.]
Yang Chenjun replied.
Then the light from his phone turned off.
What a good brother, he had probably been staying up, waiting in worry.
Lin Yibai suddenly remembered their old promise, ‘If you ever turn into a girl, let the brothers enjoy first.’
I’m such a terrible person… sob sob sob!
But, there’s no way I can repay you guys.
Because I’ve really turned into a girl.
