Chapter 277: Following Losers Means Being Hungry Most of the Time!
So, what does it really mean to be a responsible man?
Xia Changyu had been struggling with this question for days.
He didn’t dare ask his girlfriend to take medicine to prevent accidents, it just didn’t feel right to him.
Then one day, he pulled out a little square-shaped thing that looked like candy. Seeing this, Lin Yibai suddenly realized something and asked curiously, “Why did you suddenly think of using that thing?”
Xia Changyu hesitated and replied, “Because… it’s safer this way.”
Lin Yibai was lying on the bed. She lifted her head again and asked, “Tell me the truth. Do you think using this thing will somehow make you ‘better in bed’?”
After saying that, she giggled mischievously.
There was this strange rumor going around among guys, that using protection could somehow boost performance. And maybe there was some truth to it?
In Lin Yibai’s eyes, Xia Changyu was probably using “safety” as an excuse to hide some secret goal, so she just pretended not to notice and let it go.
She had heard that wearing it didn’t really feel any different, but after actually trying it… she immediately turned her face away and ignored him. “It just feels like there’s a wall between us, okay?”
Xia Changyu wasn’t happy either! Sure, maybe it did improve performance a little, but the actual feeling dropped a lot.
Especially since Lin Yibai wasn’t cooperating at all anymore, it totally ruined the fun.
Afterward, Xia Changyu apologized, “I’m sorry… I really just wanted to make sure it was safe.”
But Lin Yibai had never really worried about safety. Because of a certain condition with her body, she couldn’t get pregnant anyway. At least not until her internal development was complete.
Even if she had done it with a thousand guys, she still wouldn’t get pregnant.
What made her realize how serious the situation had become was when she went to wash Xia Changyu’s clothes. She found some very obvious preventive pills in his pocket.
Some were for women. Some were for men.
And the men’s pills? Several were missing.
Which meant, he’d been secretly taking them himself during those times?!
Honestly, it was very sweet of Xia Changyu to take the pills himself because he didn’t want her to suffer. That part touched her heart.
But when Lin Yibai saw them, her face immediately changed.
She took the pills and threw them in front of Xia Changyu, shouting angrily.
“Changyu! What on earth are you thinking? You actually dared to buy these kinds of pills?!”
Xia Changyu panicked when he saw the pills. He stuttered, “Baiyi, let me explain…”
But Lin Yibai cut him off and pointed at the girls’ pills, shouting, “Explain what? Or are you trying to come up with a reason to make me take them?!”
Xia Changyu: “Baiyi, that’s not what I meant!”
Lin Yibai kept going, “Then what do you mean? You had the guts to do it, but now you don’t have the guts to take responsibility? If you were so scared, then why did you even touch me in the first place?!”
Honestly, if she could get pregnant, she would’ve taken precautions a long time ago.
But this situation, finding those pills in Xia Changyu’s pocket, just made her feel really bad.
Xia Changyu started to panic even more. He knew he was in the wrong and wasn’t good with words. If he didn’t handle this carefully, it could turn into a serious relationship fight!
Just as he was watching Lin Yibai’s face darken, thinking she was about to explode. She suddenly tugged on his sleeve, and softly complained,
“And look at the kind of weird pills you bought! What even are these ‘male-only’ prevention pills? Are you dumb or what? There’s no such thing as a 100% safe, side-effect-free pill on the market right now!”
“Baiyi, you...?” Xia Changyu hesitated for a long moment, then carefully asked, “Are you mad at me because you’re worried those pills might hurt my body?”
A quiet sigh came from Lin Yibai. She softly replied, “I don’t know what kind of crazy rumors are going around out there, or what nonsense you’ve heard about how it’s bad for girls to take medicine... but I do know that when both options are bad, we should choose the one that’s less harmful. Do you even know what’s in the male prevention pills? How could you just take them without thinking?”
Because the side effects of those pills for guys are really serious. They mess with your hormones, and if you take too many, they can cause erectile problems, or even make a guy more feminine.
Not as extreme as turning into a girly boy, but yeah… definitely more soft.
Lin Yibai took a deep breath and firmly said, “Promise me you won’t take them again, okay?”
Xia Changyu couldn’t help but hug her.
He honestly wanted to shout to the whole world. Look! This is the girl I like!
Why did he like her? Why did he choose Lin Yibai?
Because she’s pretty, kind, and most importantly, she understands things and knows what’s right. Isn’t that enough?
Lin Yibai tried to push him away, but failed. She ended up punching his back a few times in frustration and said,
“Alright, alright, let go of me now! I still need to pour the detergent into the washing machine. And don’t forget, the national exam is tomorrow. Can you be serious for once?”
Xia Changyu: “How am I not serious?”
Lin Yibai said, “Then today, can you promise not to touch me at all?”
Xia Changyu: “Just like you said, I’ve already accepted how I feel. I’m definitely going to take responsibility for you. Also, today’s an odd-numbered day, so why can’t I touch you?”
Lin Yibai sighed helplessly and mumbled, “Yeah, it is an odd-numbered day, but that doesn’t mean you need to think about that kind of thing for 24 hours straight.”
Xia Changyu: “Baiyi!”
Lin Yibai waved him off and said, “Come on, I’m really going to take the exam tomorrow. I’m begging you, stop messing with me already.”
In short videos, you often see married middle-aged men who are scared to go into the bedroom every day.
But Xia Changyu? He’s not scared at all… Oh right, he’s only twenty. Young, healthy, full of energy. No wonder!
Still, that doesn’t mean there’s no problem.
With how “intense” he’s been lately, Lin Yibai couldn’t help but worry. What if Xia Changyu burns out after just a few years?
After starting the washing machine, Lin Yibai checked her exam supplies. Pen, mechanical pencil with 2B lead, exam pass.
All of it had been prepared by Xia Changyu, so she barely had to worry about anything herself.
But soon her thoughts drifted back to the same issue as before.
If Xia Changyu ends up being “useless” in a few years… what then?
At the same time, she looked at her “female value” bar: 70%.
That meant she could now choose her next reward. Most of the rewards were small bonuses, nothing too important. But two options caught her attention.
【1. Complete female body functions.】
【2. Always tight like a virgin.】
【3. ……】
She ignored option 1.
Just like their earlier conversation, she didn’t want to take pills every day just to avoid pregnancy.
Lin Yibai scratched her head and muttered to herself, “But if I pick option 2… Right now, he already can’t last long even when I barely do anything. Plus, female ‘combat power’ actually adapts and strengthens with age… So what if I keep improving myself?”
It’s not that she looked down on Xia Changyu.
It’s just… will he be okay?
Lin Yibai could only say one thing.
Loser! Loser! Xia Changyu is a big loser!
Following a loser…
means being hungry most of the time.
