Chapter 123: The Girl
“Chen Junjie! Can you hurry up in the shower?! What, did you drown or fall into the toilet?! You’ve been in there for half an hour!”
An Han shouted angrily while kicking the bathroom door on the balcony.
“What’s your problem?! I’m constipated!”
“Lazy people always have excuses!”
He kicked the door again in frustration.
Inside the dorm, Wang Sheng and Long Xing exchanged awkward looks. They both felt that An Han was acting unusually irritable today.
“Could it be his period or something? He’s scary tonight,” Long Xing whispered.
Wang Sheng hunched his shoulders and replied softly, “If An Han hears you say that, he’ll kill you.”
Long Xing wasn’t too worried. With An Han’s small fists, even if he tried to punch him, it would feel more like a weak massage.
The room seemed to have a strange smell that made Long Xing a little uncomfortable. He sniffed the air, trying to figure out what it was, but could only sense a faint fishy scent.
At that moment, An Han walked back into the room with a dark face. Long Xing quickly asked, “Xiao Han, did Junjie forget to wash his dirty socks again?”
“What?”
“The room smells weird. You don’t smell it?”
“No.”
His sense of smell had never been that sharp. After replying, he sat down at his desk angrily again.
An Han kept complaining, “Every time I want to shower, Chen Junjie beats me to it! And it’s not just that, he always uses the toilet while showering! It stinks so bad!”
“Isn’t he always been like that?” Long Xing tried to hold back a laugh. Those two bickered every single day, it was practically their routine.
“Brother Long! You should talk to him more! Aren’t you two close?”
“He doesn’t listen to me either.”
An Han sighed and rested his chin on one hand, looking completely lifeless while clicking his mouse.
“An Han, you seem really irritable today,” Wang Sheng said with concern. “Did the counselor scold you because you skipped the race?”
“My temper is fine!” An Han raised his voice sharply, his tone full of anger.
That made Wang Sheng shrink into his chair like a turtle, turning his attention to the video on his computer screen. He muttered quietly, “Doesn’t sound fine to me…”
“……”
Thinking about it carefully, something did feel strange since the sports meet ended this afternoon.
An Han leaned on his desk with one hand supporting his cheek, trying to figure out what was wrong.
He didn’t feel like doing anything, not even playing games. It was like there was a small volcano inside him, making his body feel hot and restless, his mood on edge. That “volcano” seemed to stir up his emotions nonstop.
What’s going on with me?
He had always been a cheerful type. Even when Su Peng’s affection score for him went over 100, he managed to stay positive after the initial frustration and kept trying to save himself from turning female… though it failed in the end.
But he had never felt this irritable for such a long time before.
“I’m done! Don’t know why you were yelling like that.”
Chen Junjie opened the back door, walking in shirtless and looking completely relaxed as he strolled behind An Han.
That familiar milky scent…
An Han turned around and glared at him. “You used my body wash again!”
“It’s a big bottle, a little won’t hurt.”
This guy was always so annoying, it was impossible not to get irritated at him.
An Han couldn’t do anything about it and could only swallow his anger, standing up to grab a change of clothes from the wardrobe.
“Oh, did you pee your pants or something?”
Chen Junjie’s eyes suddenly focused on the area around An Han’s thighs and hips. There was a coin-sized wet spot darkening the fabric of his pants.
As soon as he said that, the other two roommates also turned their heads almost at the same time to look at An Han.
An Han froze for a moment. When he looked down, he didn’t really understand what was going on, but that didn’t stop him from pretending he did. With a look of disgust, he accused Chen Junjie loudly,
“I knew it! No wonder my chair was wet! You did it on purpose, didn’t you?!”
“What the hell?!”
“You just never do anything normal, do you?!”
He didn’t bother listening to Chen Junjie’s defense. Picking up the bucket with his clean clothes, he stomped straight into the bathroom on the balcony.
Something felt really wrong.
An Han locked the door, quickly took off his clothes, and when he looked down, his expression said it all.
Where’s my thing?!
Damn it!
Not even a single warning?! The system could’ve at least told me in advance!
And on top of that—
He frowned in disgust, lifting up his underwear, which had dark red, fishy-smelling blood on it…
It even came with a period?!
Because of the system’s “no-pain period” setting, An Han didn’t feel any cramps or soreness. His body felt completely normal, so he hadn’t even noticed when it started.
No wonder he’d been feeling so moody and restless earlier.
If he guessed based on when his bad mood began, it must have happened about an hour ago, meaning he probably became female about an hour ago, or at least that’s when the period started.
“So cruel!”
“Stupid dog system!”
He turned on the shower, and under the sound of running water, he started cursing the system again as usual.
After a while, though, his voice faded. He leaned weakly against the wall, letting the water pour over his head, staring blankly at his reflection on the frosted bathroom door.
Even though the reflection was blurry, it was clear there was no trace of a man left.
He looked down at his new parts, and instead of the excitement or curiosity he might’ve felt back when he secretly watched certain “videos” or “books,” all he felt was coldness spreading through his body.
Even though he’d mentally prepared for this, it was still too much to accept.
After standing there in shock for a few minutes, An Han forced a bitter smile, straightened up, and began washing his body.
“Forget it. The important thing now is to buy sanitary pads… can’t just let it leak all the time.”
“Unbelievable. I used to be a man, and now I have to use sanitary pads.”
“Stay calm. Keep a man’s mindset. Maybe I’ll get a task that turns me back one day.”
“...Even if the chance is small.”
He gathered his messy thoughts. After about five minutes, he didn’t bother studying his new anatomy any further, quickly finished washing up, got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom.
Then, expressionless, he went to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out an opaque trash bag. He went back to the bathroom, picked up his blood-stained clothes, and tossed them inside.
Even though it felt wasteful, he had no choice. If his roommates found out, he’d be doomed.
After cleaning everything up, An Han hurried toward the dorm door.
“Xiao Han!”
He froze, his body tensing up in panic as he turned around to see Long Xing.
“Buy me a bottle of Yuanqi Forest (sparkling water)!”
“Oh… okay.”
Phew, I thought he found out something.
An Han sighed in relief, then left the room like usual.
A guy buying sanitary pads shouldn’t look too strange, right? Lots of men buy them for their girlfriends.
Though… the cashier will probably just assume I’m a girl.
Well, I am a girl now.
