Chapter 115: Band-Aids? What Are You Hiding?
My good brother is an absolutely stunningly beautiful guy?
Something’s not right!
Yang Chenjun shook his head, his gut feeling was telling him that something was very off.
It was that strange feeling, like you know something's wrong, but at the same time, it feels like it makes perfect sense.
So, Yang Chenjun opened up the game Elden Ring and went on a killing spree at the magic academy. The magic professors were like: “How’s this glintstone stuff working for ya?”
Meanwhile, behind his bed curtain, Lin Yibai was as calm as ever.
“Haha! I knew you guys wouldn’t let me down. Brother Yang’s reaction just now? That was hilarious! I almost laughed myself to death!”
It was that kind of laugh that’s funny but also… kind of weird.
He looked at his phone’s selfie camera. His face now looked even more girly than most girls'. And he was still laughing?
“Damn it!”
Not long ago, he used to look sunny and handsome. Now he had to be described as cute and pretty.
Thinking back on everything that had happened to get to this point...
All of it, just to earn a bit over ten thousand yuan.
Was it really worth it?
“Ugh!” Faced with that annoying question, Lin Yibai decided to avoid it entirely. “So annoying, why even think about that stuff?”
Let’s look at it a different way. Don’t think of it as “I became this cute just for a little over ten thousand yuan.”
Instead, think about what I did with that money.
I, Lin Yibai... used it to treat my brothers to Haidilao! Call me the best roommate in China, the best brother ever.
That’s not too much to ask, right?
Still, he couldn’t help but grumble a little. In a low voice, he said, “If I’d known this ‘Adjustment Patch’ thing was so amazing, I wouldn’t have bothered learning fake voices or trying all those tricks to get my friends used to me cross-dressing. I was such an idiot!” (O_O)
Looking back, all those plans could probably be thrown out the window now, or at least mostly.
Even though he wasn’t doing that “cross-dressing adaptation” thing in front of his roommates anymore...
But still! Lin Yibai couldn’t help thinking, “With the way I look now… if I did put on a girl’s outfit, what kind of reaction would the brothers have?”
No! No way!
He must not have these wicked thoughts!
In front of your brothers, if cross-dressing happens once... it will happen countless times later!
But honestly, Lin Yibai already felt he was plenty messed up.
Because ever since turning into a girl…
Tell him, what girl clothes hasn’t he tried on?
That annoying love rival had even bought him that little outfit. After turning back into a guy, Lin Yibai shoved it to the bottom of his backpack.
Actually, there were two full sets of girls’ clothes in there. Clean ones too. Ready to wear.
“Nope, not thinking about this anymore. Time to sleep!”
ZZZzzzz...
Don’t think making money is easy. Lin Yibai had used up a ton of energy for all of this.
So once he finally put everything aside... The exhaustion hit him hard.
They still had elective classes that afternoon. Yang Chenjun had signed up for Film Appreciation. The second roommate had picked Meteorology. The third one chose something more practical, Logistics and Supply Chain.
As for Lin Yibai… well, he went for something a bit unusual: Feng Shui and Fortune-Telling.
No one really knew why a proper university would offer that as an elective class, but since it was available, he just signed up without thinking too much.
At one point, Lin Yibai opened his eyes and glanced at the time. He smacked his lips and said, “Only about ten minutes left until class… it's probably too late to go now anyway.”
Go, or not go? That was the question!
Lin Yibai turned over in bed and instantly made the complex problem simple. He even muttered to himself.
“The teacher teaches Feng Shui and fortune-telling… I wonder if he predicted that I wouldn’t go to class today?”
If he did predict it, then maybe he won’t deduct points. If he didn’t… well, that just means the teacher’s not very skilled, so why should I bother learning from him?
Time to sleep again.
And so, he fell into a deep, deep sleep, like the whole world turned dark.
Later that evening, his brothers brought him a boxed meal and then headed off to play basketball. The whole dorm was quiet and dark.
But behind Lin Yibai’s bed curtain, there was a faint light from his phone. He scrolled through his feed while struggling with an important question.
“Should I eat the meal my brothers brought back, or not?”
Eat it? Sure! Later they were planning to go to Haidilao hotpot anyway.
Don’t eat? But... he was already super hungry ( ´à½€` ).
Eventually, he got up and went to the bathroom.
Inside, the shelves were full of different toiletries. Toothpaste, razors, shaving cream, and so on.
Lin Yibai pulled his shirt up over his head, took a deep breath, and let out a soft sigh.
His chest felt strangely empty.
When he had something there, it felt heavy and annoying. But now that it was flat again, something just didn’t feel right. It was like something important was missing.
He held out his pale hands and made a motion over his chest, then mumbled to himself.
“Not fun at all… being flat is boring.”
Was it more fun when it wasn’t flat?
Of course!
Wait, how would he know that?
Well… don’t go calling it creepy or weird.
If you turned into a girl, wouldn’t you be curious and want to try things out a bit first?
Come on, the proper order after turning into a girl is...
First, explore and enjoy by yourself. Then, when you’re tired... wait, no! No one else is allowed to join in!
Those guys don’t deserve that kind of fun anyway.
There was still a box of band-aids in the storage basket. Lin Yibai tore off two of them and held them up against his chest as if measuring, and then a thoughtful look crossed his face.
“Hmm… will this work, or not?”
He rubbed his fingers together and quietly muttered, “After I turn into a girl, my nipples seem bigger… the band-aids don’t stick well anymore!”
Even now, Lin Yibai hadn’t given up trying to figure out how to not wear a bra after transforming, while still staying comfortable.
But the truth was… Using band-aids like this only worked in anime.
In real life? Not really.
But maybe it’s okay just for setting the mood or playing around?
Then, Lin Yibai suddenly frowned and cursed under his breath. “Damn it, why am I even thinking about using this stuff to set the mood? Set the mood with who? Am I sick or something?”
He didn’t even know why he was using them, or why he was holding them up to his chest like that. Lately, he’d been acting more and more strange.
“Do I have a problem?”
Just then, noise came from outside the bathroom.
Startled, Lin Yibai quickly turned on the shower and rushed to take a cold shower, then came out.
The whole room now smelled like sweaty guys. The strong, manly scent was… kind of dizzying.
Wait! What was she even thinking!?
She quickly snapped out of it and said, “Hurry up and take a shower, guys! We’re heading to Haidilao soon!”
“Yay!!”
“Xiao Bai is the best!”
“Xiao Bai is number one!”
Yang Chenjun rushed into the bathroom first, but soon came back out holding two band-aids. Looking confused, he asked, “Xiao Bai, did you get hurt?”
“…?”
Oh no. She had left the band-aids on the sink and totally forgot to throw them away.
Did she get hurt? No.
Then why was she using band-aids?
And where exactly was she “hurt”?
There’s no way she could tell her brothers, ‘I was just sticking them on my nipples.’
Lin Yibai told herself to stay calm. Don’t panic. Handle it smoothly.
He took a breath and said seriously, “Yeah, I’ve got two big pimples. I was planning to cover them with the band-aids.”
“What?” Yang Chenjun burst out laughing.
He slapped his leg and shouted. “If band-aids can fix pimples, then maybe I should stick some on my butt and cure my hemorrhoids too!”
Well… is it possible… That the kind of “pimples” he was talking about weren’t the same?
But never mind that, because his brother just announced to everyone that he has hemorrhoids!
Tonight, I, Lin Yibai, am definitely ordering the spicy hot pot!
