Chapter 113: Brother, You’re So Nice… But Why Are You a Guy?
Let the world feel pain!
Wait! Wrong sentence! It should be, the world starts correcting itself!
Since Lin Yibai couldn’t explain why he had a guy’s body but looked like a girl, he decided to leave it to some mysterious, unexplainable power to handle it.
Like giving this world… a tiny update patch?
His vision turned blurry and white. Then his head got heavy, and he passed out into deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already late the next morning.
“Damn it, I skipped class again today... My attendance grade is doomed! I’m definitely gonna fail the final exam this time!”
That was Lin Yibai’s first thought when he woke up.
“Crap, I skipped class again!”
He rushed to the bathroom to wash up, and then he saw himself in the mirror.
Red lips. White teeth. Soft and delicate eyes.
His hair wasn’t too long yet, but already longer and more attractive than most high school girls with hair length rules.
“Whoa…”
Lin Yibai quickly spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth.
He had something to say, but stopped halfway.
In the end, he just shook his head with a smile, like he had accepted what he looked like now.
Though… the photo on his ID was still super ugly.
Ugly as hell. Ugh!
Then he checked his things. Including the money on his bank card: 15,632 yuan.
He finally smiled with relief and said, “This is the first time in my life I’ve ever touched this much money.”
12,000 of that came from his recent part-time job. The rest was his savings and leftover allowance for the month.
He messaged his family: “You don’t need to send me any living expenses this semester!”
People at this age are like that. Whenever something good happens or they earn money, they love to share the news with their family.
His family was just regular working folks. His mom immediately asked, “Did you hook up with a rich lady or something? Is this money legal?”
Lin Yibai looked at his super good-looking reflection.
Did he look like someone who’d go hook up with a rich lady?
His face turned dark. That question sounded like his mom thought he had found a sugar daddy instead!
Ugh! Come on!
This money was earned properly, clean and honest hard work!
But Lin Yibai didn’t feel like explaining too much. He thought for a bit, then made something up.
“I’m in my third year of college now, right? A company came to recruit people for some internship work. The pay was good, so I signed up.”
“Son, don’t let it affect your studies. If you ever need money, just tell us.”
“I really don’t need money right now.”
“Then why…”
“I already said it, right? I’m in my third year now, it’s time to get some work experience!”
“Ohhh, I see now.”
“......”
After letting his family know he was doing fine, Lin Yibai finally arrived at school.
Along the way, he noticed some strange looks from people. It was like they were surprised by how he looked like a girl even though he was a guy?
Lin Yibai muttered to himself, “Didn’t they say the world was ‘corrected’?”
Right now, it felt like the world had partly fixed things… but not completely?
When he got back to the boys’ dorm, he found it was a little messy after being gone a few days.
The dorm had a setup where the bed was on top and the desk was below. Under the desks, especially under Yang Chenjun’s and the others’. There were a bunch of empty bottles.
Seeing that, Lin Yibai couldn’t help but grumble, “This place really falls apart without me, huh!”
Actually, Yang Chenjun and the others weren’t that bad. They had just left some drink bottles under the desks. Some other dorms had tissues, cigarette butts, and even gross spit all over the floor.
Lin Yibai took a deep breath and decided to clean up a bit, just sweeping the floor and wiping the desks.
It didn’t even take ten minutes to finish.
At that time, the dorm started to get lively again. After morning classes ended, the boys all came back quickly and noisily.
Bang!
The sound of someone kicking the door open.
“Xiao Bai! I missed you like crazy! Hahaha…”
As soon as Yang Chenjun entered, he threw his books onto the bed and charged toward his best friend, who was standing on the balcony hanging a wet cloth, like a charging rhino with open arms.
That’s what dorm best friends are like!
Lin Yibai had been gone for nearly a week. Saying they didn’t miss him would be a lie.
Yang Chenjun swore to himself. He was going to give Lin Yibai a big hug, a lift in the air, and maybe even a kiss!
He turned into a human bulldozer, getting closer and closer to Lin Yibai, about to crash into him hard—
But then, a soft scent in the air made Yang Chenjun stop and start to feel a little unsure.
Next, he noticed how Lin Yibai’s short hair looked even better than before. Under the sunlight, he could even see a bit of fair skin.
That white skin became even clearer. It was Lin Yibai’s pale neck.
Then, just as Lin Yibai was about to turn around, probably after hearing the noise, he slightly turned his head, showing his sharp jawline.
Then he seemed to be smiling.
A smile that revealed her red lips and white teeth. And she had a delicate nose and lively, bright eyes.
He slightly raised eyebrows that made him look playful, just as his best friend was charging at him like a truck.
‘Wait a sec…’ Yang Chenjun didn’t really understand what he was seeing. But he quietly muttered in his heart, ‘Why does Xiao Bai look even prettier now?’
‘Huh? Why did I say even prettier?’
In Yang Chenjun’s memory, Lin Yibai had always been the delicate-looking type. If he didn’t spend much time in the sun, his skin would get as fair as a girl’s.
Every time he came back from a school break, he would look even more refined. This time, after just a few days apart, the change was even more obvious.
So… should he still crash into him with a big, brotherly hug?
Logically, it made sense. This was what brothers did, right? It was part of the “brother code.”
But then he looked at Lin Yibai again, his ridiculously beautiful best friend, who smiled as soon as he saw him.
His eyes curved like a crescent moon when he smiled. He was just too pretty.
Screech—
Yang Chenjun slammed the brakes in his mind.
He really wanted to run up and hug Lin Yibai out of love between friends, but now Lin Yibai looked so good, it felt like it might offend him if he did!
Bang!
Fine! If he couldn’t crash into Lin Yibai, he’d crash into the wall instead.
A stream of nosebleed ( ︶╥╥︶ ) came out of Yang Chenjun’s nose after slamming into the wall, and then he heard Lin Yibai cover his mouth and laugh.
“Hey, Yang Chenjun, why are you getting a nosebleed just from seeing me? Don’t tell me... are you into guys? No way, right? No way?!”
“Bullshit!!”
Me? Like guys? Hell no!
Yang Chenjun immediately shouted, “I will always like girls only! Hahaha!”
“Tsk tsk!”
“Xiao Bai, what nonsense are you spouting?”
“Nothing.”
Lin Yibai shook his head, took a tissue, rolled it into a strip, and with one hand pressed it to Yang Chenjun’s forehead, and with the other hand tried to stuff the tissue into his nose.
At that moment, they were very close to each other. Even though Yang Chenjun was holding his nose, he could still smell a soft fragrance from Lin Yibai’s body.
And Lin Yibai was so close to him now.
Yang Chenjun didn’t even notice his own reaction, but Lin Yibai touched his forehead and asked, “Yang Chenjun, why is your forehead so hot?”
“I...” Yang Chenjun glanced at his friend, then quickly looked away and said, “It's just the nosebleed... all the blood rushes up, so it's normal to feel a bit hot, right?”
“Why is your face red too?”
“It’s normal!”
I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t blush if someone that pretty was standing this close?
But the problem was... he’s a guy.
When Lin Yibai reached for more tissues, Yang Chenjun quickly grabbed them, crumpled them into a ball, and stuffed them into his other nostril.
Result? Super uncomfortable.
Now he wished he’d let Lin Yibai do it instead. If only Lin Yibai were a girl, how nice would that be?
Yang Chenjun swore he would never like guys. But Lin Yibai was just too nice now!
Still, no way! Because Lin Yibai was a guy!
A guy!!
Guy!!!
