Chapter 2: My Whole Body Feels Numb and Tingly
Editor Mayonnaise: “I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me, dear.”
After getting praised by the “bishoujo,”
Mu Yi smiled slightly and quickly got into the mood, continuing to write.
The novel she was currently working on was all about youth, school life, and romance.
The school setting was small, but people’s imagination could create all kinds of different stories.
None of them felt the same.
And somehow, everyone seemed to follow an unspoken rule, romance in school stories never went as far as kissing, and anything more intimate was out of the question.
As for the reason… everyone understood.
But there were always some bold people who dared to go further.
To show readers grand and exciting scenes, they worked very hard, overcame many difficulties, and built new paths to a better “world,” step by step.
Math, history, chemistry, physics, geography, programming… these were just the foundation of those paths.
No one knew how many times they had failed before finally succeeding.
And no one needed to know how hard it was. All they wanted was to share a bit of happiness.
Mu Yi was different.
All her novels were very “clean,” with no forced sweetness or adult content.
Just as the Editor Mayonnaise once said, ‘Anyone who writes that kind of stuff can just go away!’
Adult content?
Didn’t exist!
Story, story, and more story, that was all she cared about.
Because of this, her novels could be a bit complex, but she never ran out of ideas.
Tap tap tap tap!
Lines of text quickly appeared on the screen.
Time slowly passed. Her patience reached its limit. Her body felt weak, her vision blurred, and she couldn’t focus because she was too hungry.
The sound of typing suddenly stopped. She stood up unsteadily and went to pour herself a glass of water. To ease her hunger a little, and to quench her thirst.
As Mu Yi gulped down the water, someone suddenly knocked hard on the door.
“Food delivery! Please come and pick it up!”
…It’s here!
After waiting so long, her food had finally arrived. Even through the door and the packaging, Mu Yi felt like she could smell the delicious food. Her mouth watered, and her stomach growled like crazy.
Without even putting on a jacket, she ran to the door in her oversized T-shirt.
“Thank you, I’ll take it!” Mu Yi said excitedly. Her cheeks turned slightly red, a thin layer of sweat formed on her pale forehead, and she was breathing a little fast.
The delivery guy seemed startled. He froze for a moment, then suddenly blushed as he looked at her.
So attractive.
But Mu Yi didn’t notice at all. She took the food, gave a small polite nod, and closed the door.
As she opened the package, the smell of mildly spicy oil mixed with the food’s aroma filled the whole room.
So good!
Mu Yi’s eyes lit up.
She quickly finished the spicy hot pot and collapsed onto the sofa, patting her full stomach.
Burp~
Full and satisfied.
Now she could write better.
But compared to writing her light novel, Mu Yi now wanted to write something more relaxing, something that didn’t need much thinking.
Adult stories.
Yes, in the eyes of the “bishoujo” and many readers, Mu Yi never wrote anything inappropriate. She was seen as a symbol of purity.
But what they didn’t know was that she secretly wrote more mature content on another website, and she had started doing that even before writing regular online novels.
The content there was quite bold.
To be fair, everyone has desires. Mu Yi was no exception.
But she preferred to take care of things herself.
Writing those adult stories was purely for fun. Mu Yi also liked how the readers on that site urged her to update every day, but even if they begged, it didn’t really work.
On the main site, she wrote to make a living, updating daily. On the other site, she updated whenever she felt like it.
As she kept typing, she accidentally glanced at her chest, and fell into deep thought.
She had really turned into a girl…
Actually, looking at it this way, she would never have to worry about certain “problems” anymore, and it would even save her time. Wasn’t that a good thing?
If you look at things in a positive way, life becomes more colorful~
After quickly finishing her update on that other site, Mu Yi stretched her body and went back to her light novel, continuing to write.
Tap tap tap tap, tap tap tap tap!
The red sun sank below the horizon, and the moonlight spread across the land.
When she came back to her senses, it was already 4 a.m. the next day. Mu Yi rubbed her forehead.
She couldn’t stay up any longer.
If she kept going, she might collapse.
Looking at the 30,000 words she had written, Mu Yi let out a long breath, turned off the computer, set an alarm, and fell asleep on the desk.
Before she could sleep deeply, she felt uncomfortable and twisted her body.
She turned to the side, resting on her arm, and complained silently.
Why did heaven give me such a big chest… it’s so inconvenient…
………………………
On the day her book was released.
The sky was covered with dark clouds. The rain had not started yet, but distant thunder could be heard.
After successfully finishing her task, the white-haired girl tidied her clothes, took a small yellow umbrella, and pushed open the door.
Three days.
Three whole days!!
Living only on snacks with hot water, and sometimes a bit of porridge. She had barely held on until now.
It was already a miracle.
Mu Yi took a deep breath, locked the door, and quickly walked out of her rented place.
………………………
Her home was far from the city center. In this busy and noisy city, her area felt very quiet.
It was perfect for someone like her who stayed home and wrote all day.
She rarely went out and had little contact with neighbors. Even though her appearance had completely changed, no one who passed by noticed anything strange.
Not even the security guard at the entrance.
Because of this, Mu Yi didn’t bother to disguise herself. She also didn’t have the energy to do so.
To others, it just looked like a pretty new girl had appeared in the neighborhood.
People looked at her with interest, but Mu Yi didn’t care. She was so hungry that she could only think about one thing:
I need to eat!
Passing by a beef offal stall, she glanced at the price, sat down right away, and quickly ate a plain bowl without caring about her image. Only then did the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach ease.
Her whole body felt relaxed and slightly tingly.
It only cost six yuan, extremely cheap. It must be a new shop.
Mu Yi wasn’t sure if her guess was right, and she didn’t have time to check.
She needed to stock up on supplies. Her fridge was empty.
Now that she had become a girl, there were also some daily items she needed to prepare, just in case she needed to go out but couldn’t.
The problem was…
She didn’t have much money left in her account.
There were still six days before she got paid. Looks like she would have to borrow a little money again.
After paying, she went into a small shop and looked at the prices on the shelves, standing still.
A bag of bread, 15 yuan. A pineapple cream bun, 25.5 yuan. A chicken sandwich, 27 yuan…
So expensive!
How did prices go up this much in such a short time?
Mu Yi widened her eyes in shock.
The shop was quiet, except for two kids at the door. One chubby boy was crying loudly, making Mu Yi feel irritated.
She frowned and walked over.
But she only crouched down and comforted them a little. When the two boys thanked and praised her afterward, she didn’t really care.
She only did it for the sake of her ears, it wasn’t like she was trying to do something kind.
Standing at the door, Mu Yi looked at their backs. For a moment, it felt like she was about to remember something important.
But just then, the “bishoujo” called her again on QQ.
“Dear, congratulations! Your new book is already in the top three on the bestseller list! Let’s go out and eat, I’ll treat you. I also want to introduce you to someone.”
