Chapter 58: That Annoying Ex-girlfriend… is She Crazy or What?
Xia Changyu had a big headache.
She even blocked me! How am I supposed to "repay" her now?!
Now that things in Binhai were over, Xia Changyu didn’t feel like going on a solo trip to relax.
Traveling alone just didn’t sound fun. So he packed up his things at the hotel and drove back to school by himself.
He was still thinking about that girl named Lin Baiyi, and made up his mind, saying to himself.
“Maybe I can try looking for her at the management department. If I’m lucky, I might run into her!”
Anyone who’s been to college knows, departments are so separated it’s like they’re on different mountains.
One university can have tens of thousands of students.
For example, if you study software engineering, you might graduate without ever saying a single word to someone from the mechanical engineering department.
College students mostly hang out with others in their own department.
As for this "Lin Baiyi" Xia Changyu had in mind...
She clearly knew about Gu Xiaoxue and her friends, so there was a good chance she was from the management department too.
And he was right.
Lin Yibai was indeed a management student, majoring in Marketing and Planning. But if Xia Changyu went looking for her based only on what she looked like as a girl...
Then he was in for disappointment.
After returning to Fucheng city, Lin Yibai felt really nervous. He used some interactions with other guys to lower his "girl points" and turn back into his male self again.
【Female Correction Value: 7%】
That’s right, he had turned into a girl to stir up trouble in Binhai for two days, and each day he gained 1% "girl value" permanently?!
And remember, it wasn’t just a temporary increase. His base value had now permanently risen to 7%.
And some subtle changes in his body had already started happening!
Looking at his reflection in the window, Lin Yibai frowned and muttered, “My face… my body… am I getting thinner? Or is it just my imagination?”
His face, which used to look more firm and masculine, was now starting to look softer.
Even his broad, strong shoulders had started to look more delicate.
What if he ends up becoming one of those guys with soft shoulders and a weird smile?
Just thinking about it made Lin Yibai shiver all over.
Too scary. Totally creepy.
Even just imagining it... Already felt super gross.
Looking back at his reflection in the window,
He finally noticed something and said, “I… I really do look a bit more girly now. Sigh.”
Looks like he would have to be more careful using his "turn-into-a-girl" power in the future.
But the sad part was, this wasn’t something he could stop just because he wanted to. Even if Lin Yibai didn’t do anything, his body would still automatically collect more "girl points" every day.
But anyway, there’s no way he was going to become some weak, girly guy.
In Lin Yibai’s mind, there were only two options. Change completely or don’t change at all.
Either turn into a girl 100% or be a proper man, simple as that.
In the next few days, he kept a low profile and stayed in the dorm.
After the May Day break, his roommates returned to campus. They quickly got used to Lin Yibai’s "new look." To them, it was no big deal. He just looked a little better than before. So what?
Of course, just looking better wasn’t a big deal...
Unless… Lin Yibai was actually up to something?
He had never given up on his plan to slowly influence his roommates. Right now, he was lying on his bed, feeling annoyed.
“How do I naturally show off my fake girl voice in front of the guys… Or maybe, I mean, the whole crossdressing thing, it’s not that I want to do it. It’s that my buddies force me to do it. You get me?”
Lin Yibai still cared a lot about his pride. He didn’t want people to think he wanted to dress like a girl. He wanted it to look like his friends made him do it, and he had no choice. Got it?
Ugh! So annoying, right?
With the end of the May Day holiday, school life returned to normal. Well, except for some people, like those who just got out of detention.
…………………………………
Fucheng South High-Speed Train Station.
After Gu Xiaoxue and the others got off the train, they seemed to be arguing nonstop.
“I told you that rich guy couldn’t be trusted, but you all didn’t believe me. Now look what happened! We even got sent to a detention center! I’ve never seen such a messed-up relationship!”
“You can know someone’s face but not their heart!”
“I hate Xia Changyu so much!”
“......”
Clearly, they were still very angry, even cursing him under their breath.
Too bad the punishment was only a few days in detention. If Xia Changyu hadn’t been so firm at the time, they might not have even been detained. A warning, some education, and a fine would’ve been enough to let them go.
After all, the ones who actually got physical were Lian Haifeng and his people.
As for Gu Xiaoxue and the others, there were many ways they could claim innocence, like denying everything, or saying they were just joking around online.
Plus, there are some legal "advantages" that favor women.
So the punishment they got was much lighter than what a man would get in the same situation.
And often, it’s because the punishment is too light that people like them feel no fear. Instead, they start thinking, ‘Hurting others like this really isn’t a big deal.’
Right now, the girls from Gu Xiaoxue’s dorm were still super angry. Some swore they would get revenge on Xia Changyu. Others said they would make the girl who was with him “pay for it.”
But back to reality—
Gu Xiaoxue was also annoyed and finally snapped, “Enough! Stop arguing already. What’s the point? Arguing won’t change anything!”
“Then what do you think we should do, Xiaoxue?”
“How should I know?!”
“But—!!”
“I told you, I don’t know either!”
“......”
The group fell into a long silence.
This trip to Binhai had been a total disaster. Not only were they detained, but they also had to pay all the costs themselves.
It was a huge loss.
A while later, Yang Yueping hesitantly suggested, “How about... I mean, maybe you can try contacting Lin Yibai?”
The moment she said that, everyone’s eyes lit up.
It was like they’d seen a savior. To them, getting hold of Lin Yibai was like grabbing onto a lifeline.
And immediately, their minds started racing with ideas.
Even before Gu Xiaoxue had time to send a message to Lin Yibai, the girls were already dividing up benefits.
“Me, me, me! I lost the most money in Binhai, so he should pay me back first.”
“I even spent my food money!”
“Are you stupid? Don’t ask for food money. Just crash at his place for a month, that’s the real win.”
“A month? Is that even possible?”
“For Xiaoxue, he’ll say yes.”
After hearing that, even Gu Xiaoxue believed it. She was sure of her own charm, and of how much Lin Yibai used to like her.
It’s true, she had only dated that rich guy for a better life. But that didn’t matter anymore!
Now that all the misunderstandings were cleared up, they can start over again!
Gu Xiaoxue took out her phone and sent Lin Yibai a message at the station.
“I just got back from my trip to Binhai!”
Meanwhile, in the dorm—
Lin Yibai was still trying to figure out how to make his roommates beg him to wear girls’ clothes.
When he saw the message on his phone...
He immediately made a face like one of those old men reading shocking news on the subway.
Scratching his head, Lin Yibai mumbled, “What does her trip to Binhai have to do with me?”
Also, Lin Yibai was very familiar with Gu Xiaoxue’s tricks.
“She’s probably going to say she’s in a bad mood next, right?”
Just as he was thinking that...
Ding!
Another message from Gu Xiaoxue.
“I’m at the train station now... not feeling very good.”
Sound familiar?
Gu Xiaoxue thought she was giving Lin Yibai a chance to show how much he cared. She expected him to hurry over and comfort her like a gentleman.
But in reality...
Lin Yibai’s reaction: Does she want some pancakes or something?
