Chapter 8: That Analysis
In life, everyone will face many difficulties and challenges, big or small.
Sometimes, instead of feeling anxious without reason, it’s better to calm down and look for a solution.
A good mindset is often the first step to solving a problem.
Although what happened to her was very hard to accept, Mu Le finally calmed down a little.
Since it was already a fact, continuing to complain about it didn’t match her personality at all.
And staying like that wouldn’t solve the real problem anyway.
Besides, as a writer who focuses on transformation stories, Mu Le had thought before about what she would do if she ever transformed.
Sometimes, in order to write better stories, she would imagine herself as the main character.
Because of this “experience,” after the initial confusion, she was finally able to accept the situation, at least for now.
But even so…
“Another bowl!”
Looking at the small white bowl held out in front of him, Xiao Yuze felt a bit speechless.
The bowl was completely clean, not even a single grain of rice was left.
He looked at the bowl, then at the girl’s small stomach. “This is already your third bowl. Are you sure you can still eat?”
Facing his doubt, Mu Le touched her stomach and nodded without hesitation.
“I’m only about 70% full. I think I can still eat one more. Actually, it’s mostly because your cooking is so good, this braised pork is rich but not greasy, and the spicy beef tastes amazing—”
“Stop.” Before she could finish, Xiao Yuze interrupted her with a helpless smile. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you just order this takeout?”
Yes, all the dishes on the table were takeout that Mu Le had just ordered.
This restaurant made really good food, and she used to order from it often.
After hearing him, Mu Le suddenly sighed and spoke seriously, “Aze, I finally understand why you don’t have a girlfriend.”
Xiao Yuze: “……”
What does that have to do with anything?
He touched his nose and shook his head helplessly, then stood up and served her another small bowl of rice.
He honestly wondered how her small stomach could hold so much food.
Even he, after eating two big bowls of rice and most of the dishes, wouldn’t be able to eat another bowl so easily.
Do food lovers have a stomach that connects to another dimension?
“Thank you very much.”
Ignoring his strange look, Mu Le took the bowl and quickly finished everything again.
In the end, only a bit of sauce was left, showing that there had once been food there.
Xiao Yuze had probably eaten less than a quarter, but just watching Mu Le eat so much already made him feel full.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Mu Le casually left the task of washing the dishes to Xiao Yuze, while she sat on the sofa with a thoughtful expression, as if thinking about life.
Considering that Mu Le had suddenly turned into a girl and might still feel uncomfortable, Xiao Yuze didn’t complain much.
But not long after…
“Aze, I want some tea!”
Just as he came out of the kitchen, the girl’s clear voice rang out beside him.
He glanced at the sofa with his back turned toward him. “What kind of tea?”
“Chrysanthemum tea.”
Xiao Yuze: “……”
I don’t remember buying that…
“Hmm… maybe lemon tea instead. But green tea sounds good too…”
Mu Le’s quiet self-talk wasn’t that quiet, and Xiao Yuze heard everything clearly.
A few black lines seemed to appear on his forehead as he walked toward the sofa.
On the sofa, Mu Le was lying there lazily, still wearing the same sleepwear she hadn’t changed out of.
Because of that, she was unintentionally giving Xiao Yuze quite a “view.”
But honestly, this kind of “benefit” gave him more trouble than anything.
After all, he was a normal man. The girl in front of him looked very attractive. It was impossible not to feel something.
But when he thought about the fact that this was Mu Le… he could only think, how many years in jail would that get me?
Alright, just joking.
Even though he was very affected by the situation, Xiao Yuze was not the kind of person who would lose control just because of looks. Besides, Mu Le was already very sensitive after what happened.
“Forget it, I won’t drink tea anymore,” Mu Le suddenly sighed after he sat down across from her.
Seeing her worried expression, Xiao Yuze wasn’t surprised.
“What are you going to do next?”
After a moment of silence, he asked the most important question.
Yes… what should she do next?
Mu Le paused for a moment, then pulled up her legs and buried her face in her arms.
As for her underwear being visible, she didn’t care at all.
In her mind, Xiao Yuze was still her best friend. Before, they had even seen each other naked, so this didn’t feel like a big deal to her.
“I thought about the situation.”
Just when Xiao Yuze thought they would fall into silence again, Mu Le suddenly spoke.
“The situation?”
“Yeah.” Mu Le raised her head slightly. “First, from what I see around me, it’s not only me that changed.”
That’s right. When Mu Le changed from a man into a woman, her room and even the photos on her computer also changed.
This kind of thing was too strange to explain with normal knowledge.
“But you, Aze, still remember the ‘old me.’ That means you didn’t change. And besides my room and things related to me, everything else also stayed the same.”
Xiao Yuze frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
“This morning, after you left, I called my cousin. But he didn’t react at all to my voice.”
Normally, if Xiao Yuze still remembered her as a man, other people shouldn’t have changed either.
Before eating, Mu Le had nervously called a few people she knew.
And they also didn’t seem different.
But none of them showed any surprise or curiosity about her clearly female voice!
Their completely natural reaction could only mean one thing.
Their memories of Mu Le were no longer of her as a man.
But if that’s true… isn’t that strange?
Why was Xiao Yuze the only one who was different? This was something Mu Le couldn’t understand at all.
“And there’s this.”
Mu Le suddenly raised her hand. At some point, a small card had appeared in her palm.
“An ID card?” Xiao Yuze was a bit surprised.
“Yeah.” Mu Le nodded, then looked at the photo on it, her eyes flickering. “The ID also changed to how I look now. That means, as far as I know, except for you, everything about the ‘old me’ has probably been replaced with the current me!”
Xiao Yuze suddenly felt a chill.
Why does this feel kind of scary?
“This must be someone’s deep evil plan. The world is cursing me!”
Xiao Yuze: “……”
You’ve been writing too many novels, haven’t you?
