Chapter 31: Did the Author Even Take Writing This Book Seriously?!
After listening to Grandpa Mo’s explanation, Lin Muxi finally understood. It turns out her jade pendant could actually make wishes come true.
Thinking about it that way… Lin Muxi slowly shifted her gaze toward Mo Ziyang, giving her good bro a new look, this time full of suspicion.
“What are you staring at me for? Do I have words written on my face?”
Noticing that Lin Muxi was staring at him, Mo Ziyang turned his head. Right away, he met that not-so-kind look in her eyes.
“Hmph… Grandpa Mo, you’re saying that jade pendant can really make wishes come true, right?”
Before starting her attack, Lin Muxi made sure to confirm it first, just in case her bro tried to deny it.
“Yes.”
“So… I became like this all because of Mo Ziyang, right?”
“More or less…”
Hearing Grandpa Mo’s confirmation, Lin Muxi’s eyes suddenly turned dangerous. She glared at Mo Ziyang as if he owed her thirty billion.
“No… wait, this isn’t right. How did things end up like this?”
The sudden turn of events made Mo Ziyang freeze. He looked at his grandfather in confusion, weren’t they supposed to be explaining the jade pendant? How did it turn into him being interrogated?
But before he could say anything, Lin Muxi, having heard Grandpa Mo’s answer, was even more convinced of her guess. She slammed the table angrily, stood up, pointed at Mo Ziyang, and cursed.
“Mo Ziyang! I really misjudged you! You even lied to me, saying you wouldn’t have any bad ideas. I treated you like a brother all these years, and you actually wanted to turn me into your wife?”
Damn it, she knew it, men’s words can’t be trusted! So this guy had his eyes on her from the start. And to think she still trusted her good bro enough to let him help her bandage her wounds.
“No, wait… why would I ever make that kind of wish?”
Faced with Lin Muxi’s accusations, Mo Ziyang instantly understood what she was thinking. He felt wronged, he hadn’t done anything that day, and had no idea why this strange thing happened.
“Who knows what you wished for… maybe it was to satisfy some twisted desire of yours. Damn it, you… you were supposed to be my little brother!”
Seeing Mo Ziyang still trying to explain, Lin Muxi felt it was pointless. Her “little brother” was already gone. She rushed forward, grabbed his collar with both hands, and shook his head wildly.
“Lin Muxi… wait… I really didn’t make that wish!”
Looking at how furious Lin Muxi was, Mo Ziyang could understand. If it were him, he might have already torn the culprit to pieces. So when faced with this angry little girl, he didn’t fight back, he just endured it.
“Wait? Wait for what! You stole my little brother’s life from me, this hatred is as deep as the sky! And you still dare call yourself my bro?”
At this point, Lin Muxi wasn’t in the mood to listen to anyone. She wasn’t just angry for her little brother, but also for all the unfairness she suffered these past few days because of Mo Ziyang… especially since he clearly knew something, yet still pretended otherwise.
After a few minutes, when she was finally too tired from venting her anger, Lin Muxi slowly calmed down. But once she thought of the truth, the sense of unfairness and despair instantly made her eyes red and watery.
This time, unlike before, after Mo Ziyang made his wish, the jade pendant disappeared right away. This completely cut off Lin Muxi’s hope of turning back.
“Wuuu… why am I so miserable…”
As if giving up on everything, Lin Muxi collapsed weakly into the chair. Big teardrops rolled down her cheeks, soaking her clothes.
“In that case… let Mo Ziyang really think carefully about what exactly he did that day.”
Seeing Lin Muxi finally calm down but still crying so sadly, Grandpa Mo walked over to comfort her and spoke in a serious tone.
“What do you mean ‘what did he do’! Why did he always want me to cross-dress as a girl? Today at the hospital he even touched me all over. He still dare say he didn’t have any ideas about me? If he weren’t after me, then who else were he after—air?”
With red, tearful eyes, Lin Muxi pointed at Mo Ziyang’s nose and scolded him while sobbing.
“Good job, I really misjudged you.”
Even Mo Chengling, who had seen all kinds of things in his life, was stunned after hearing Lin Muxi’s words. Then he looked at his grandson with disappointment.
“No, Grandpa, it’s not like that… I—I know! I just remembered what happened!”
Feeling that everyone was misunderstanding him, Mo Ziyang’s brain spun rapidly. Suddenly, he recalled what exactly he had done that day that caused all this.
“Then explain it clearly! Mo Ziyang, you better explain it to me right now!”
Seeing Mo Ziyang suddenly remember, Lin Muxi rushed toward him, wiping her tears, her already red eyes fixed on him.
Mo Ziyang quickly pulled out his phone, opened a short video app, and searched his history. He found a silly little video and showed it to Lin Muxi.
Taking the phone, she pressed play—
“If one day, two buttons appear in front of you:
1 ) Pressing it has a 1% chance of turning your best brother into a girl.
2 ) Pressing it has a 99% chance of giving you 10 million, so you can enjoy a rich life.
Which one would you choose?”
??? What the hell is this nonsense? Lin Muxi was completely confused, wondering how this had anything to do with her transformation. Then she scrolled down to see Mo Ziyang’s comment under the video.
[Young Master Mo: What’s 10 million? Not even enough to pick my teeth. Of course I’ll choose 1—1111111111111111111111…]
“Mo Ziyang… I really… you…” The more Lin Muxi looked at the comment, the angrier she got. The more she thought about it, the more absurd it felt.
Look at other novels, whether it’s gender change or time-travel, at least it happens because of a car accident, or after death and rebirth. Why is her case so sloppy? Just a random short video can change her life?
Damn it! Did the author of this story even write it seriously?!
Unable to accept this ridiculous truth, Lin Muxi suddenly felt dizzy. The bandages on her head started bleeding again, her vision went black, and she fainted right into Mo Ziyang’s arms.
Startled, Mo Ziyang quickly caught her and held her close.
“Ahh… what a mess today has become…”
Looking at the unconscious girl in his arms, Mo Ziyang sighed. Then he carried her in a princess carry and glanced at his grandfather.
“I don’t even know what to say anymore… just go, go.”
Seeing the reality of it, Mo Chengling was also speechless. He never imagined the jade pendant would be activated in such a ridiculous way. Since the pendant makes wishes come true, it had carried out option 1. But because the pendant itself brings good luck, the 1% chance was actually equal to 100%.
“Grandpa, help me handle any parking tickets later. I’m leaving now.”
After giving a quick explanation, Mo Ziyang carried the unconscious Lin Muxi and rushed toward the garage.
“Sigh… poor child…”
Watching the direction they left in, Grandpa Mo could only shake his head and sigh.
