Chapter 130: Big Bro Got Your Back
After leaving the classroom, the two of them went together to the water dispenser, each taking out their own bottle to fill up.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few people getting water at that time, and soon a small line of students formed.
So, Lin Muqing dragged Ye Ziming into the restroom. There happened to be no one else there, which made it a pretty good place to talk, at least in theory.
But then something happened that completely shocked Ye Ziming.
Lin Muqing walked straight into one of the stalls, turned around to face him, and without hesitation, pulled down her pants and lifted her shirt.
In front of him appeared... the super cute blue-and-white striped panties.
What also caught his eye were her pale tummy and legs.
“Happy now?”
After confidently showing him the panties she was wearing, Lin Muqing quickly pulled her pants back up, speaking with a bit of frustration.
The whole thing lasted only a few seconds. She just wanted her best bro to see, not stare.
What Ye Ziming had done earlier was honestly a bit too much. Not only had he gotten rid of all her old underwear from the closet, but even the ones hanging outside to dry on the balcony were gone.
Even the new ones she hadn’t opened yet, still in their packaging on the table, had vanished.
Now that he had seen them, everything should be fine, right?
With that thought, she was about to turn and head back to class.
“Wait.”
Just as Lin Muqing was leaving, Ye Ziming suddenly snapped out of it and reached out to stop her.
He had honestly been stunned just now. To be honest, he kinda wanted to take another look. Those two or three seconds weren’t nearly enough.
“What now? Didn’t you already see it? All my panties are gone because of you.”
She stopped where she was, hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.
It was only now that Ye Ziming finally understood why Lin Muqing had shown him her panties in the first place.

After two seconds of silence, Ye Ziming finally found his voice again. His face was a mix of awkwardness and amusement.
“That’s not what I wanted to talk about.”
With a helpless smile, he gently patted Lin Muqing on the shoulder and pulled out his phone.
“Huh?”
Now it was Lin Muqing’s turn to be confused. Did she… misunderstand what her good buddy meant?
“This is what I wanted to talk to you about.”
He opened his phone and showed her the health check report. Her physical exam results. There were also some notes from the doctor.
Since they had gone to a private doctor, the suggestions were super detailed, even noting that she had caught a slight chill.
But the most important part…
Lin Muqing saw the gender section.
It clearly said: Female.
“So... I really turned into a girl?”
After reading the report and listening to her buddy explain everything, Lin Muqing covered her face with both hands and stood there, completely frozen.
Her face was burning.
What had she just done!?
She had just shown her buddy her panties! In what world is that okay!?
Could someone please open a hole in the ground and let her crawl in!?
“…Judging by the report, yes.”
Looking at Lin Muqing’s completely red face, Ye Ziming smiled and nodded, but he didn’t share his own theory.
He chose to go along with Lin Muqing’s belief that she used to be a boy. That way, it would be easier for her to mentally adjust.
If she knew she had been a girl from the start, and never actually a boy, it might be way too much to handle.
Ye Ziming had already considered all of this… way back when he saw the jade pendant.
“So what do I do if I can’t turn back?”
Lin Muqing felt a little better after Ye Ziming’s comforting words, but she was still unsure. She clenched her fists at her chest and looked down.
Since she was young, her parents always taught her what boys should and shouldn’t do. She had learned how to live like a boy, and she thought she had done a good job taking care of herself.
If not for the past two months living as a girl, she didn’t think she could still talk to her good buddy so calmly like this.
“We’ll figure it out later,” Ye Ziming said. “Right now, you’re my little brother. If anything happens, I’ve got your back.”
“And if you want, I can keep treating you like a boy, if you don’t mind.”
He placed his hand on her head and playfully messed up her hair.
After that, Lin Muqing seemed more energized. Her eyes looked brighter, no longer gloomy like before.
“You’re really acting like the big brother now, huh?” she said with a pout, glancing up at him before turning away.
As she fixed her hair, her cheeks turned red. Not just from anger, but from something else too.
“What else can I do?” Ye Ziming replied with a smile.
He never said he wanted to be the “big brother,” but since this “little brother” kept calling him that, he’d go along with it. After all, she had no one else to rely on.
“Hmph~”
Lin Muqing stood in front of the mirror and fixed her hair, then proudly raised her chin like a stubborn little rooster. She glanced at Ye Ziming again before confidently walking out of the restroom.
What she didn’t realize was that when she looked at him that time, something in her eyes had changed just a little. From now on, she would still call him “big brother,” but the meaning behind it would start to shift.
Ye Ziming couldn’t help but smile at her actions. She was too cute when she got like this.
“Class is about to start. Hurry up!” Lin Muqing suddenly ran back, standing at the restroom door and calling him.
“Coming,” Ye Ziming replied with a chuckle, then walked with her back to class.
