Chapter 122: What’s Going On? The Whole Dorm Is Falling for Her!
Ugh, seriously...
Why did this happen again? Why did I agree to another unreasonable request from that annoying love rival?
He asked me to sing, and I just said yes? Doesn’t that make me look weak?
Lin Yibai had wanted to refuse loudly, but when the words reached his mouth, somehow they turned into. “I’m in the dorm right now, not sure if I’ll disturb the others, but...”
Crap, crap, crap! Why did I say “but”?
Isn’t that just asking for trouble?
On Xia Changyu’s side, he quickly followed up, taking the chance to press further. “But what?”
Lin Yibai frowned, clearly struggling with himself.
After a long moment, his slim fingers lightly tapped the screen, and he typed, “It’s nothing, really.”
Well, the words were already out. There was no going back now.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this was clearly the stupid rival’s fault! If it weren’t for him, why would he be stuck in this situation?
He got up from bed and pulled back the bed curtain to take a look.
All the guys had already gone to bed. Luckily, no one was asleep yet. So at least he wouldn’t disturb them.
Lin Yibai put on a big white shirt. It was one he had bought by accident in the wrong size before. Later, he just started using it as pajamas.
Back when he still looked more like a regular guy, it didn’t seem strange. But now, after all the changes, wearing it felt kind of weird.
Because now, Lin Yibai had the body of a guy, but the appearance of a girl.
All his body hair was gone. His legs were long, smooth, and very pale.
He was wearing only boxer shorts underneath.
The shirt was so big, it almost completely covered his butt.
His legs looked long and white, and just from the back, he totally looked like a stunning beauty.
A real “back-view killer.”
Lin Yibai stepped out onto the dorm balcony and gently closed the door behind him.
Then, he leaned on the balcony railing.
He had no idea what kind of shock this moment was causing for his roommates.
You know…
That kind of shock. You get what I mean, right?
Yang Chenjun sat cross-legged on his bed. His eyes went wide as he stared, then he rubbed them again, looked back, and made a surprised "whoa" sound.
Yang Chenjun asked in disbelief, “Wait… is that Xiao Bai?”
Second Brother: “Who else?”
Third Brother: “100% Xiao Bai.”
Yang Chenjun’s eyes got even wider as he made sure he wasn’t seeing things. Then he shouted again in surprise. “Damn! But did you guys notice? Xiao Bai’s back looks just like a girl’s! And not just any girl, a pale-skinned, long-legged beauty!”
Second brother: “You just noticed?”
Third brother: “From the front, Xiao Bai might not have a girl’s body, but in every other way, he actually looks more like a girl than a real girl!”
Yang Chenjun suddenly realized how serious this was. He shouted, “Wait a second, now I’m starting to seriously wonder... could Xiao Bai be one of those... you know, those intersex people we sometimes hear about on the news?”
Second brother nodded. “It’s possible.”
Third brother added, “Yeah, really seems like it. But the sad thing is, we don’t have any proof.”
The system’s “correction power” was so strong that Lin Yibai didn’t even need to explain anything. His roommates had already made up a full backstory in their own heads.
But now an even bigger question had come up.
If Lin Yibai really is intersex, basically more like a girl, then what should the rest of the guys do?
Would it suddenly mean they had a little sister? That would just feel weird, wouldn’t it? But even before we get into that...
Yang Chenjun kept sneaking glances at Lin Yibai’s long legs under that oversized shirt. And well, let’s just say, wasn’t it possible that even if he were a “sister,” his feelings about him... might not be so “brotherly” anymore?
Yang Chenjun couldn’t help but swallow nervously and said, “Man, it’d actually be kind of nice if Xiao Bai really was a girl...”
Second brother looked at him. “Brother Yang, why would you say that? Do you have some kind of dirty thoughts about Xiao Bai? I totally misjudged you.”
Yang Chenjun: “No! I don’t! I swear!”
Then the sharp-eyed third brother looked at him sideways and asked, “Hey Brother Yang... when you were staring at Xiao Bai just now, did you... get a little excited?”
What did you mean by ‘Get a little excited’? Hey! You better explain what you mean by that!
A man can take a hit, but not an insult! Yang Chenjun got mad right away and shouted.
“You dirty-minded freak! No way I would ever get excited over Xiao Bai! That’s absolutely impossible! I swear on my honor, my friendship with Xiao Bai is as pure as the sun and moon, okay? I'm 100% loyal!”
Inside the dorm, the boys were getting noisy and loud. But none of that bothered Lin Yibai, who had already closed the balcony door. He didn’t hear a word of what they were saying about whether Yang Chenjun got excited or not.
And really, none of that mattered anymore.
Lin Yibai put on his headphones.
He brought the mic attached to the headphone wire close to his rosy lips. His shirt might’ve been old and oversized, and his boxers might’ve had a few tiny holes...
But when it came to accessories, like his keyboard, his headphones. He definitely had good gear. His headphones were high quality.
On the other side, Xia Changyu even pulled out his best speakers.
Surround sound? Stereo sound? Who knows if that’s all just marketing hype...
But what did matter was that he was really putting in effort. He got all excited in his dorm and shouted.
“Guys! Guys! Quiet down for a second! If any of you want to listen, I might just be nice enough to let you join in!”
[Listen to what?]
[Who?]
[You mean that girl you talked about, Xia Changyu?]
Xia Changyu said, “That’s right! Her!”
The roommates got even more curious and asked with confusion, “I still don’t really get it. That ‘she’, can I think of her as your new goddess?”
Xia Changyu glared at him and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean ‘new’ goddess? She’s my only goddess.”
Just then, Lin Yibai’s voice came through the speaker system. “Hey, hey, can you hear me?”
Xia Changyu replied, “Yes, we can hear you.”
One of Xia Changyu’s roommates shouted, “Damn, your goddess’s voice sounds amazing! That’s next-level good!”
Everyone could hear both sides of the conversation clearly.
Then Lin Yibai suddenly cut in and said, “Goddess? What goddess?! Xia, didn’t you just break up with someone not long ago? Don’t tell me you’ve already fallen for another pretty troublemaker?”
The roommate laughed and said, “Hahaha! That ‘troublemaker’ you’re talking about, isn’t that just you?”
At the same time, they also started to understand a few things.
So Xia Changyu hadn’t actually won her over yet! But now they were even more curious about this girl who had him so head-over-heels.
Also, he clearly hadn’t just shared the singing for no reason. He wanted to show off.
But Lin Yibai didn’t really mind. He simply raised his pretty eyebrows a little and didn’t take it too seriously.
He liked the song a lot, and had sung it so many times before that he could now perform it perfectly from memory. Soon, his lovely voice came through that expensive speaker system.
“Dear V, where are you now?”
“Suddenly I miss you somehow”
“The bells of Laguna Bay call back the past”
“And neon Judy cries beneath city lights”
“...”
“Whoa, whoa! It’s the 2077 Judy humming remix! The game might be bad, but this song? This song is pure magic!”
Clearly, Xia Changyu’s roommates were gamers too. One of them immediately recognized the song, and looked at Xia Changyu with both confusion and excitement.
“Brother, you know what I’m waiting for, right?”
“What...?”
His roommate looked like he wanted to punch him and said urgently, “I remember this is a duet, isn’t it? It’s a fan remix from Bilibili. First, the girl sings to the guy in the game, and then the guy sings back to her!”
Xia Changyu: !!!
They instantly understood the situation.
This clueless roommate only noticed how beautiful the girl’s voice was... but didn’t know the full version is a heartfelt duet between a man and a woman!
Seeing Xia Changyu’s regretful expression, they all wanted to say just one thing. “Serves you right.”
Xia Changyu was full of regret.
Totally, completely regretting it.
