Saturday, Jiang Family.
As usual, the young man on the bed woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he sensed something was off.
His face darkened, then immediately flushed red, and he quickly rummaged through the wardrobe for clothes, slipping skillfully into the bathroom.
After a while, gazing at the blue underwear being scrubbed relentlessly on the washboard, a hint of helplessness and embarrassment flickered in his eyes—blue as the Mississippi River.
Celibacy, celibacy, but in the end, he couldn’t restrain himself.
Thinking of those spring dreams that had come every other day recently, and those alluring cherry-red lips in the dream, what had just calmed down was once again standing at attention.
His face turned a shade darker.
After hanging the freshly washed underwear to dry, Jiang Chi stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance. The longer he looked, the more he thought about the basketball his parents had gifted him for his birthday a few years ago.
It was time to get out and exercise.
With that thought, the young man quickly found his basketball, changed into sports shoes, and headed out the door.
*****
At the same time, in a bedroom on the other side of the city—the Ji Family.
“How’s the coordination work going, Old Su?”
“Mm, mm, mm, thank you, thank you.”
“I’ll transfer the money for the guys to your account—oh, last time there was an emergency.”
A certain beauty disguised as a man was holding a phone, communicating with her underling, while simultaneously applying wheat-colored foundation to her face in front of the mirror.
It had to be said, that book gifted by Ji Haotong’s female client was quite useful, providing Ji Yuannian with great inspiration for her male disguise—especially with chest binding.
First wrap, then compress, then tighten—even a C-cup could turn into a washboard.
A dream come true for flat-chest fans!
In the end, looking at the mirror at the handsome young man with pronounced pecs, ear-length short hair, and healthy wheat-colored skin, Ji Yuannian grinned.
“Bro, I’m heading out to play basketball!”
After calling out, Ji Yuannian hugged a basketball signed by a famous player, waved, and dashed out the door, leaving behind Ji Haotong—who for some reason had taken leave and stayed home recently—gazing deeply at her departing figure.
Once that silhouette had completely vanished from sight, Ji Haotong stopped tapping his fingers on the table and picked up the phone, clearing his throat.
“Xiao Chen, my brother’s gone out.”
“Understood.”
The private investigator on the other end answered, then hung up.
Ji Yuannian jogged all the way and soon arrived at the familiar basketball court. Sunlight spilled onto the ground, as if a layer of golden sand had been spread.
Because it was Saturday, the court was crowded with basketball enthusiasts—men, women, old and young, of all kinds. As soon as she stepped onto the court, her eyes were drawn to a particular figure.
Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi was dressed simply in sportswear, standing tall and straight. Every jump and shot was fluid and full of strength.
Sweat slid down his forehead, glimmering under the sun. His focus was locked on the hoop, and the basketball in his hands seemed to have a life of its own, tracing arcs through the air.
But…
Bang!
The basketball hit the rim and bounced off hard, rolling to the ground and picked up by the young man bending over.
Ji Yuannian’s face twitched.
That aim was terrible.
“Ji Yuannian.”
At this moment, Jiang Chi, dressed in sportswear, spotted the beautiful figure standing by. In others’ eyes, Ji Yuannian was a tomboy—a delicate, handsome young man.
But in his eyes, the “boy” standing nearby in men’s clothes and light makeup was an unmistakable beauty.
“Jiang Chi.” Ji Yuannian waved the basketball in greeting.
“Want to try?”
Jiang Chi said, tossing the basketball in his hand toward Ji Yuannian.
Ji Yuannian tossed aside the ball she’d brought and caught the incoming basketball steadily, sinking into a ready stance, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
“Gladly.”
On the court, the two immediately launched into an intense one-on-one showdown, even drawing quite a crowd of onlookers.
Ji Yuannian took the initiative with the first serve, spun around, and charged toward the hoop like the wind, with Jiang Chi hurrying after to block her.
In terms of speed, after the gender change, she certainly didn’t have the raw power of a male physique, but flexibility…
With a feint, Ji Yuannian easily got past Jiang Chi. No matter how hard he tried to block, he always came up empty-handed.
A woman’s strength and speed might not match a man’s, but the skill and agility bestowed by flexibility were often beyond a man’s reach.
For example, these days Ji Yuannian could easily do a full side split—could Jiang Chi manage that?
After a thoroughly satisfying match—a veteran trouncing a rookie—Jiang Chi bought two drinks, and the two sat in the rest area, watching other games and occasionally commenting.
In the rest area, sweat had soaked the beauty’s clothes, outlining a graceful figure, and the air was thick with feminine pheromones.
A certain man watched, swallowing greedily.
Her damp hair, her whole body shrouded in a thick aura of hormones—it made him want to get close.
If he shifted just a little closer, he could catch that scent—a fresh hint of mint blended with the faint fragrance of gardenia.
He liked it a lot.
“Why is yours lemonade, and mine brown sugar water—warm, no less, what the heck.” At this moment, the beauty grumbled discontentedly, glancing at the young man with a look of complaint.
“You’re not taking revenge, are you?”
“Just because my basketball skills are better than yours?”

“You’re not taking revenge, are you?”
“Just because my basketball skills are better than yours?”
“It’s good for your stomach.” Jiang Chi slurped his iced lemonade, sneaking another glance at the beauty’s wet shirt clinging to her lower belly.
That medicine had been taken for some time—wonder how her development was going?
After that last hospital visit with Ji Yuannian for a physical, the doctor had called Jiang Chi in several times to discuss the patient’s condition. The gist of it: during female physical development, a lack of estrogen would affect the body… A whole bunch of medical jargon.
Seeing this “dog man” staring straight at her lower belly, the big sister-style beauty sipping brown sugar water thought he wanted to do that with her again. Remembering those intoxicating moments and techniques in bed, her cheeks couldn’t help turning red.
She feigned composure and looked away. “Get lost, you old pervert.”
“I’ll always be unattainable to you.”
Such a stubborn mouth.
Jiang Chi thought to himself.
Since the gender change, Ji Yuannian’s tsundere attribute had gone off the charts. Just as he thought that, a shy, expectant female voice reached his ears.
“Of course… Of course, given how long we’ve been friends with benefits, if you want to cop a feel or snuggle, for the sake of my great magnanimity, I’ll occasionally indulge you.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m just being nice this once.”
With that, the big sisterly beauty turned her flushed face away with a tsundere huff.
“……” Jiang Chi fell silent.
He withdrew his earlier thought. When it came to desire, all Ji Yuannian’s tsundere behavior was just to save face—stubborn on the outside, suffering inside.
“How’s my basketball?” Jiang Chi deliberately shifted the topic, steering “venting desires with Ji Yuannian in bed” to “Ji Yuannian’s best skill, basketball.”
“Seventy-thirty.”
“I’m thirty, you’re seventy?”
“Wrong, I can score three times in seven minutes on you.”
When it came to her area of expertise, Ji Yuannian was all confidence. She pointed at Jiang Chi with a senior’s air and advised, “Your technique’s alright, but you’re too rigid, not flexible at all, like you just copied someone else’s style…”
But as the two chatted, neither noticed that at the edge of the basketball court, a man in a green army coat with a reporter’s badge was holding up a camera pointed at them, snapping photos under the pretense of surveying the local exercise habits.
