Chapter 37: Becoming More Girly? Then Just Pretend You've Been "Possessed" by the Curse of Crossdressing Culture!
Whether you’re a Mighty Dragon or a White Dolphin, you have no choice!
Lin Yibai realized that it wasn’t just shaving off his body hair. It was completely erased. It was like it had never grown there in the first place.
Not daring to stay in the hotel any longer, he grabbed his sports backpack and ran out.
In no time, he was sweating all over.
Some of the fallen body hair stuck to his sweaty skin, it felt absolutely horrible.
Just after getting off the bus outside his school, he immediately went to rent a room by the hour again.
The front desk clerk kindly reminded him. “One hour is sixty yuan, two hours is one twenty. We’re doing a May Day special now, just 100 yuan!”
"......"
Damn scammer, Lin Yibai thought.
He just wanted to take a shower.
As more of the "unnecessary" body hair fell off, he felt like even his skin became smoother. Especially that Drago—uh, never mind! That image was too much to think about!
After washing up, he turned on the air conditioner and cooled off for a bit.
The clothes he wore earlier were unusable now.
Luckily, he had a spare set of sportswear in his backpack. After thinking for a moment, he decided to stay away from the school dorms a bit longer.
He wandered around the student shopping street.
He bought a few plain white long-sleeve shirts. He had already come up with an excuse.
“When I see my brothers later, I’ll just say, ‘The sun’s so strong, I’m wearing this for sun protection, what’s wrong with that?’”
He also bought a few boxer briefs.
Normally, Lin Yibai wasn’t someone who wasted money like this.
But after being a girl for a few days, he started to feel a bit grossed out by his old underwear, especially the ones with holes in them.
Then he bought a few bubble teas for his brothers.
Finally, Lin Yibai let out a long sigh of relief and said with excitement. “Now I can finally go back and see my brothers again!”
Come on, I turned into a girl just to do part-time jobs, and after finishing, I used the money to buy drinks for the boys, how cool is that?
The boys’ dorm building was as messy as always.
Nowhere near as neat or fancy as the girls’ dorms. And forget about air conditioning, no way we get that.
Just having a small fan clipped to the bed was already a little piece of happiness.
Creak~~
Lin Yibai kicked open the dorm door and saw all his roommates gathered around a computer, looking super excited.
He shouted, “What the heck are you guys watching?!”
Was it some kind of romantic video? Or maybe sexy girls?
Maybe some onee-san, sweetheart girl, hot dance, maid outfit... All those phrases flashed through Lin Yibai’s mind.
Dang it! They’re watching without me?! I trusted you guys! he thought. But…
Things weren’t that simple. On the computer screen was a muscular, shirtless man.
Wait, is that what they’re into?
But then, when Lin Yibai saw the shirtless guy rubbing two sticks together to start a fire, he realized he was into it too.
Actually, most guys were.
Their dorm leader, Yang Chenjun, glanced back and shouted, “Hey! Xiao Bai! You’re back! Come quick, it’s a brand-new episode of that survival show from overseas!”
Another brother argued, saying, “I think the fishing-in-the-wild show is better.”
“I personally love the one about fixing donkey hooves.”
“Donkey hooves? Cow hooves look better!”
“No way. Cow hooves are always bursting open with slime.”
“......”
Lin Yibai also had something to say.
All these wilderness survival shows… and hoof-repair ones?
He put down the bubble teas and asked, “Then why not take a look at Odebiao, who is far away in Africa?”
Even though the guys had a lot to say, because of the bubble tea, they all agreed that Lin Yibai made a good point.
You think guys only like watching sexy dances and hot girls?
That’s just an old stereotype from the past.
Modern men? They like watching survival shows, fishing in the wild, and relaxing videos about trimming cow hooves.
Or maybe… when that background music plays, remembering Odebiao from Africa?
While drinking a big gulp of bubble tea, Yang Chenjun looked surprised and said, “This bubble tea with jelly and taro balls costs more than 20 yuan. Did you hit the jackpot after going home, Xiao Bai?”
“I didn’t think you’d notice so fast. Yep, I went home and inherited a billion-yuan business.”
“Rich guy! Send me 50 yuan!”
“No money.”
“......”
That’s just how it is in a boys' dorm.
A few words and you're like brothers.
Lin Yibai wanted to watch more hoof-trimming videos with his brothers, but it was way too hot.
He asked if they wanted to go to the library for air conditioning. Too bad, they all rejected him.
Yang Chenjun waved his hand with no interest. “What’s good about the library? You can’t even turn on the sound to watch videos together. Xiao Bai, are you going to replace that kind of fun for us?”
“Aren’t you guys hot?”
“We’re watching cow hooves and explosions, not sexy girls dancing. If the mind is calm, the body will be cool.”
“......”
Lin Yibai just couldn’t take the heat anymore. No air conditioning, and only a weak little fan with three tiny speeds, not even as strong as a normal home fan. Lying in bed felt like grilling meat on a hot plate.
He got up, changed into shorts, put on his slippers, and walked out.
Yang Chenjun noticed his roommate’s smooth, pale legs and said, “Hey, why do Xiao Bai’s legs look even whiter and smoother now?”
“Brother Yang, don’t say you’re not into Xiao Bai. Why do you care so much about his pretty legs every day then?”
“I’m not! I swear I’m not!”
“Stop arguing.” Another roommate shouted, then said seriously, “I’ve seen this episode before. Lord Bear’s hanging goat is about to appear.”
Forget about Lin Yibai’s legs.
They’re all guys, why pay attention to his legs?
The other guys said it’s better to watch a juicy cow hoof explode.
When Lin Yibai got to the library, he borrowed a book just to look like he was studying. In truth, he was thinking about his own situation.
It was clear, his body was changing, and something unknown was happening.
Lin Yibai felt scared but didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t just call the police and get taken in for research, right?
“Today it made all my body hair fall out… What if tomorrow it takes away my Little Dragon too…” As he thought about that, his face changed color.
Oh no, that could really happen.
Even though he had already experienced the kindness the world gives to girls...
Still, he really couldn’t accept it!
Frowning with worry, Lin Yibai muttered, “It feels like the final goal of this thing… is to turn me into a real girl?”
Was being a girl that bad?
Logically, Lin Yibai was 1,000% sure that girls had better lives in society, and that most guys probably envied them.
Emotionally, though? His mind just couldn’t accept it!
Lin Yibai took a deep breath and shook his head. “Now’s not the time to think about whether I can accept it or not. I need to clearly understand, if this gender change can’t be stopped… what should I do?”
Obviously, the hardest part would be spending time in the dorm with his guy roommates every day.
So, how could he hide the truth?
He tapped his fingers on the desk. After a long time, he said slowly. “If things really get worse, maybe I can slowly and quietly change the way they think?”
Like how? Maybe start practicing a girly voice in front of them?
No, no. Doing that from the start would be too much. Too fast.
“I mean—” Lin Yibai hesitated, then said slowly. “I can start by sharing some fun posts about cosplay or crossdressing girls in my social media, and pretend to be really interested in that kind of stuff.”
Yeah, start by setting it up, then pretend to be “under the influence” of crossdressing culture.
After that, just slowly become more and more girly.
That’s the only plan for now.
