Chapter 112: If I Look Like a Girl but Am Actually a Guy, What Will My Brothers Do?
Only heartless people leave scars on others.
But Lin Yibai was different, she didn’t just leave a scar… she straight-up walked away with Xia Changyu’s whole heart.
Was this a question of morality?
Taking someone’s heart like that… it can only bring trouble in the end.
Xia Changyu looked like he’d lost his soul. He didn’t understand why the girl he liked just left without a word.
Especially after his mother, Xia Zhilan, found out. She scolded him hard.
“You can’t even keep your wife, what can you do?”
Then she picked up the note Lin Yibai had left behind. The more she read it, the more confused she became. In the end, she sighed to the sky and said,
“Look, she didn’t trick you or steal your money… she even helped you build up your project, and you made a small profit too. So what was she after? A girl like this… there’s a saying for someone like her.”
“What kind of person?” he asked.
“Someone who comes to repay a favor, like the Snail Girl in the old story. Think about it! First she saves your life, then she helps your career. If she’s not a Snail Girl, then who is?”
“Ah… huh?”
“Ah huh, my foot!” Xia Zhilan rolled her eyes at her son. “Even if she is here to repay a favor,
with the way you’re acting, you’ll still lose her to someone else. Snail Girl or not, she’s going to end up with someone else, just watch!”
But maybe the situation wasn’t that bad.
Even though Lin Yibai had blocked her annoying “love rival” because of personal reasons, she still kept Xia Zhilan on her friend list.
After thinking for a while, Xia Zhilan made an important decision. She had to send her son away for now.
If she really wanted to fix this, it wasn’t just about helping him chase the girl. She needed to understand why Lin Yibai left in the first place.
So she picked up her phone and typed:
“Hey hey, Lin Baiyi, why did you suddenly disappear? Did that stinky boss of mine bully you or something?”
On the other side...
Lin Yibai was walking slowly along the school corridor. The time left before she turned back into a guy was running out.
At this moment, she felt a bit like a hero walking into the cold wind, heading toward a fate she couldn’t escape.
She mumbled to herself in confusion. “I wonder how many things about me will change when I go back this time? I just hope I don’t end up growing two giant chest muscles…”
She had already timed it perfectly. At her current walking speed, she could reach the hotel exactly 10 minutes before the transformation.
Just then, “ding-dong”, a message popped up.
“Huh? Sister Xia?”
Lin Yibai was a little surprised, but she didn’t think too much and quickly typed back:
“The annoying boss didn’t bully me or anything. It’s just… the way he shows his affection makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.”
Xia Zhilan replied. “You don’t like that annoying boss?”
“I wouldn’t say I like him,” Lin Yibai thought for a second and then typed, “Let’s just say I don’t dislike him, you know what I mean?”
Ever since she saw her ex-girlfriend Gu Xiaoxue’s true colors, Lin Yibai had already let go of her old ideas. If not, she wouldn’t have traveled hundreds of kilometers to save that guy.
But because of her pride as a man, she still kept calling Xia Changyu her “love rival.”
There were two good words to describe her current state, maybe stubborn and prideful?
Because of her pride. Because she didn’t want to admit things out loud. So she kept calling him “love rival,” even though she didn’t really mean it anymore.
After seeing the message, Xia Zhilan let out a deep breath and said,
“As long as you don’t hate him, then it’s not a big problem... And honestly, I think right now is the perfect time for you, Lin Baiyi.”
As someone with life experience, she believed that only people who truly care about love would feel confused or troubled by it. In her eyes, feeling this way just means Lin Yibai is taking love seriously.
So she decided not to push too hard anymore.
As a mom, it was natural for her to want the perfect daughter-in-law. But she also knew that had to be based on mutual respect. Not something shameless, like forcing people together just for her son.
Now that she understood this, she had no more doubts.
Finally, she wrote:
“There’s going to be a performance at the music academy next week. I’ll send you a ticket. Can you come and watch it?”
A music academy performance?
Lin Yibai didn’t think too much about it. She just thought it might be a student show or a small theater event. Probably something where they wanted her to show up and “cheer them on.”
So she sent back an “OK” emoji and typed:
“I’ll definitely come.”
Great. The future daughter-in-law is coming.
Xia Zhilan suddenly got excited about the performance. She decided she would show her very best side that day!
After their chat ended, Lin Yibai finally returned to her hotel room.
Now, there were less than 10 minutes before she would change back.
“What will I turn into this time?”
She didn’t know. She had no idea what that weird transformation thing would do next.
Last time, it even made her Adam’s apple disappear.
Now Lin Yibai’s voice even sounded soft and girly when she spoke.
This time… judging by the worried look on her face, she had already imagined the two worst possible outcomes.
“As long as I don’t grow big chest muscles, or lose any important parts… I’ll accept it.”
The only reason she rushed through everything this time was just to earn a little over ten thousand yuan. Was it really worth it?
Sigh… better not think about it right now.
When the countdown finally ended, Lin Yibai realized she didn’t change back right away. Instead, some words appeared in her eyes.
【Because you stayed in your female form for so long, your transformation adjustment rate has now been permanently set to 15%.】
【Please choose an adjustment option.】
【1. Keep your female face.】
【2. Keep your female chest.】
【3. Keep your female *iykyk*.】
“Not 3, not 3!!!”
Lin Yibai was scared to death. She couldn’t even imagine turning back into a guy, only to find that the most “important” part of a man had turned into a girl’s?
She thought… That would be her last line of defense, her bottom line.
So, in her eyes, Option 3 was immediately crossed out.
Now she had to choose between 1 and 2.
Clearly, Option 2 wasn’t great either. How would she explain to others why a guy suddenly had such a large chest?
So, it seemed like the only choice was Option 1.
Lin Yibai gave up struggling and said,
“I choose 1.”
【You will return to your male form in ten seconds, and you will keep the appearance of your female face.】
【Note: Your adjustment rate has reached 15%, World Adjustment Mode is now available. Do you want to activate it? (Adjustment uses left: 1/1)】
“World Adjustment Mode?”
【After activating World Adjustment, everything that has happened to your body will have a reasonable explanation in this world.】
Lin Yibai seemed to understand.
No wonder it was called: Female Correction Value!
It was like installing a patch to fix the world’s logic. And now she had one chance to use it.
Should she use it or not?
She looked at herself in the mirror. It seemed… she had no other choice! She was just too pretty.
“I can’t even convince myself... how could I convince anyone else?”
Besides, she didn’t really know…
If she looked like a girl but was still a guy inside, how would her good buddies react now?
