Chapter 41: It's Not Because I Care About That Annoying Love Rival!
Crossdressing + fake voice?
What a genius idea.
At least in Lin Yibai’s opinion, this combo really worked better than expected. It really did achieve a result greater than 1+1.
When he gained the transformation ability and obtained convenience and benefits from it, from his 'practical' perspective, Lin Yibai had already started researching how to rapidly generate "female value."
At first, he found that using a fake girl voice worked well to gain ‘Girl Points’.
Then wearing girls’ clothes also gave him ‘Girl Points’.
So... what happens if you combine the two? Clearly, the result was amazing.
Brothers, I’m telling you, fake voice + girl clothes really gives a ton of ‘Girl Points’. Confirmed!
Alright, even Lin Yibai thought this whole thing was a bit... twisted. But he still said, "It’s not like I want to become a girl, okay? I’m just doing this because, well, every guy wants to get more benefits, right? Yeah, we guys are just practical like that!"
He gave himself an excuse. And just like that, he felt a lot better about it.
If it weren’t for the extra perks you get by being a girl, why would anyone spend so much effort researching this strange stuff? It’d be like hurting yourself while trying to beat someone else, not worth it!
Because honestly, this ability really is a double-edged sword.
Some parts of your body really will permanently change to look like a girl’s. And there's no way to change it back!
In Lin Yibai’s ultimate dream...
Only kids would choose one or the other. He wanted the best of both worlds!
He wanted both the boy advantages and the girl advantages.
Time for fantasy mode.JPG?
As time went on, Lin Yibai’s fake girl voice became more and more natural. Maybe he was just talented?
With a little more practice, he felt confident he could even flirt with his buddies on the phone, and they wouldn’t even notice!
“Flirt with Brother Yang using a fake voice?”
In his mind, Lin Yibai imagined Yang Chenjun, probably shirtless by now, unloading like ten truckloads of goods.
Then picture himself calling in a sweet, girly voice and saying, “Brother Yang, thank you for working so hard today~”
...uhhh, nope, nope!! Lin Yibai grossed himself out just thinking about it.
Stop. Don’t think about it anymore.
That mental image was way too much, he could hardly stand to look at it. Even in his mind, he was already cringing.
While he hummed a light, pleasant tune, a soft rain started falling outside his window, yet far away, the sun was still shining brightly.
A sunshower?
He remembered the old saying, ‘When it rains while the sun is shining, it's because a bride is walking down the aisle.’
He waited until the weather cleared up, and his once-shy, awkward voice finally turned into a sweet, bell-like tone.
"Whew~"
"I’m so tired… wait, I mean, this lady is exhausted!” Lin Yibai let out a big breath and flopped down onto the bed.
At the same time, she felt a bounce in her chest area.
Uhhhhh… I guess there's still a sliver of a bottom line in me.
She guessed... If she were still in her male body, but used a fake voice, wore girl clothes, and put on a bra... wouldn’t ‘he’ be unstoppable?
“No, no, no—humans shouldn’t be that weird!” Lin Yibai shook her head hard. That was really her last and final line she didn’t want to cross.
She quickly grabbed her travel backpack and pulled out a small piece of clothing that had been buried at the bottom.
Yep, it was a bra.
Sometimes, even she thought it was super weird to have something like that hidden in a guy’s backpack.
If anyone asked to check her bag while she was outside… she’d be totally misunderstood, no matter what she said.
After putting on the bra, she finally managed her chest under control.
Lin Yibai discovered something really awkward. As she was going through her clothes, she said to herself.
“I already have two pieces of outerwear for girls, like the white shirt and the floral dress. They're fancy enough. But underwear?”
The last time she wore that pack of seven disposable underwear that cost ten yuan, she got a rash in less than two days. They were thrown away long ago. Now the only one she has left… was bought with help from her love rival.
Wasn’t that just super embarrassing?
Girls aren’t like boys. You can't just have the fancy clothes on the outside. You need the right underwear too.
So Lin Yibai decided to go out and buy some underwear. She was already thinking about it.
“As for panties… maybe I can skip those? As long as I don’t take them off myself, my boxers kind of look like safety shorts that girls wear under dresses. Hmm… no, I think I should buy a couple of real girl panties. They’re not expensive anyway. Plus, the ones I have now, some even have holes in them!”
Who would have thought that someone dressed in a stylish floral dress, looking elegant and full of charm, had holes in their underwear underneath?
Alright, alright!!
Even though Lin Yibai looked like a girl now, she still acted like a rushed and careless guy. Standing in the blazing sun, over 30°C (86°F), made him wonder seriously.
Why do sundresses even exist?
Her shoulders were burning! She was definitely not the same guy who used to play basketball in the sun at noon anymore.
Ughhhh! It’s way too hot!!
She quickly ran under the shade of a tree and started complaining.
“What’s the difference between this and when I stood shirtless under the summer sun as a guy?”
Well, the difference is...
If a guy does that, people think he’s crazy and ruining the city’s image.
But if a girl does it… she’s called the beauty of the city?
She couldn’t take it anymore. So she went to a street vendor and bought one of those big wide-brimmed beach hats.
Should she also get some flip-flops?
Lin Yibai trusted her taste, or more precisely, she trusted her male sense of fashion.
“Big beach hat, white floral sundress, plus flip-flops…”
Tsk tsk. Lin Yibai could only say, now that’s the style guys really like.
Some girls think that adding sunglasses makes them look cool, bold, and confident.
But that’s just their opinion.
At least for Lin Yibai, based on her own sense of beauty, she liked girls who looked more gentle and sweet.
The kind of girls who brag about being cool, strong, bold, and loud. Those weren’t her type.
She strolled all the way to the outside of the Seaside Grand Hotel.
Lowering the brim of her hat, she mumbled, “He… and the girls… they should be inside now, right?”
She hadn’t forgotten the real reason she came here.
Going after her love rival wasn’t the main goal anymore. Now, she really wanted to reveal the ugly side of Yang Yueping and her friends.
It’s kind of funny when you think about it, isn’t it?
Now the ones trying to mess with her love rival weren’t her. But rather her rival’s girlfriend’s best friends! They wanted to “test” his love by beating him up.
So what was even happening now?
She, Lin Yibai, was supposed to be the one who wanted revenge.
So why, now that someone else was targeting her rival, wasn't she happy about it?
Why was she, of all people, starting to help that guy instead?
Lin Yibai let out a deep sigh. “How did it end up like this?”
If you asked her why, she didn’t even know the answer.
It was like two unlucky fools, both tricked by Gu Xiaoxue, were slowly becoming close to each other.
Lin Yibai sighed again. Life was hard.
She began to carefully memorize the area around the Seaside Grand Hotel. Its layout, surroundings, and even the location of the security cameras.
Why was she doing all this? She mumbled to herself.
“It’s not because I care about that guy Xia Changyu’s safety, okay? It’s just so I can watch him mess up more clearly! Hmph!”
Yeah, that’s right. It was just to see him make a fool of himself.
That’s the only reason I’m taking this so seriously.
