August 15th: My birthday, and also Ji Yuenián’s birthday. I never expected her birthday to be the same day as mine. Time really flies.
At the same time, something strange happened today. That mysterious double-faced silver coin suddenly heated up. Could it be related to Ji Yuenián?
August 17th: The feminization plan is progressing steadily. But… does the current Ji Yuenián even need to be feminized? I’m not sure about her mind or thoughts, but physically, compared to some female protagonists I’ve read in novels… uh, hot—yes, really, besides the word “hot,” I can’t think of a better way to describe it.
August 20th: Took Ji Yuenián for another psychological assessment. No signs of split personality, hehe. As expected, what is Yuèyuè if not Ji Yuenián—always finding excuses for her own desires. Truly, acting like a whore but still wanting to put up a facade of innocence.
August 25th: During a thorough cleaning of the rental apartment, I found two bells, one gold and one silver. Perfect, I finally have something to serve as a medium for psychological suggestion.
Behavioral psychology research shows: Repeating something for more than 21 days forms a habit; repeating it for 90 days forms a stable habit. This means that if an action or a thought is repeated for 21 days, or verified 21 times, it will become habitual behavior or thought.
So, if a concept is validated by others or yourself more than 21 times, it becomes your belief.
Through these two bells, I can subtly change Ji Yuenián, making her gradually abandon everything male about her, shaping her into my Ji Qingchan, my very own Ji Qingchan, a Ji Qingchan who can never leave me…
But unfortunately, summer break is almost over.
These things will have to wait until our third year of high school.
I’m looking forward to it…
The pen paused. The man sitting in the chair was pondering whether to write a paragraph about the preliminary success of the feminization plan, when suddenly, a woman’s voice came from outside the door.
“Chi Bao, it’s time to eat.”
“Coming.” Jiang Chi replied.
He closed the notebook and placed it on the desk, then opened the room door and went out.
Dinner was three dishes and a soup: minced pork with eggplant, shredded cucumber, braised cabbage, and tomato egg soup.
After dinner, Ji Yuenián had planned to lie comfortably on the bed, watching short videos to regain some energy, and then go find Jiang Chi to play some games. Instead, she was forcefully dragged by him to the riverside of Wanqing City for a walk, with the excuse that it would help with digestion.
At night, Wanqing City glittered with brilliant lights, the cool night breeze gently blowing—especially by the river, where the soft, refreshing air made one feel relaxed and comfortable. Even the surroundings seemed more pleasing to the eye.
Ji Yuenián pouted, unwilling as Jiang Chi dragged her forward. “Why go for a walk? After dinner, you’re supposed to lie in bed and watch nice videos.”
Jiang Chi glanced at her. “After eating so much, you don’t want to move around at all? Our great beauty Ji, aren’t you worried about your figure getting out of shape?”
“What’s there to worry about? It’s not like I’m really a woman. As the saying goes, wherever there’s a five-step snake, there’s an antidote nearby. Once you give me back the silver coin, I’ll see if I can figure out a way to turn back into a man.” The “mature woman” spoke boldly, with an air of indifference.
“Besides, for us men, being able to eat is a blessing. Eating more means growing taller and stronger. Sickly, skinny guys are never attractive to women.”
“But what if you really can’t change back?” Suddenly, a quiet male voice echoed in her ear.
Ji Yuenián froze.
That’s right—there’s a real possibility of never changing back, of remaining this long-haired, mature-looking woman forever.
She’s only seventeen. If she really can’t change back, she’ll have to live as a woman for sixty-three more years, spending the rest of her life in this unfamiliar female body, saying farewell to the seventeen years she spent as Ji Yuenián, cutting all ties with the ambitious, arrogant young man she once was.
For some reason, a chilling wave of fear and helplessness surged in her heart.
She wanted to hold on to something, to grab onto something, to—
“I was just joking.” Seeing the beauty beside him suddenly fall silent and dejected, Jiang Chi smiled and gently rubbed her head, as if comforting her.
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to change back.”
Although he said so, what Jiang Chi was really thinking was anyone’s guess.
“Thanks.” With his comfort, Ji Yuenián regained some of her spirit. Like a good buddy, she hooked her arm around Jiang Chi’s shoulders and returned to her usual carefree self, saying loudly,
“Never thought you’d be so good at comforting people, Chi Bao. If you’d had this kind of emotional intelligence back then, maybe the two of us would’ve been best bros already. Like, sworn brothers or something.”
“Sigh, school’s starting soon. Shouldn’t we just call it even between us? Give me back the silver coin, burn those photos, and let these past two months be buried deep underground as black history—never to see the light of day until we’re both in our graves.”
“Of course, I won’t skimp on any compensation I owe you. Don’t say we’ve totally settled things; I admit I was wrong to deceive your feelings. I’m the type who ‘doesn’t care what you think, only what I think’—if I feel I owe someone, I’ll definitely go make it up to them.”
“So whenever you want me to compensate you, you can come find me anytime.”
A faint minty fragrance lingered in the air. Jiang Chi’s face twitched.
Sometimes he really wanted to cut open Ji Yuenián’s head and see what was inside.
She’s been a woman for over a month and still has such thick skin—not the slightest awareness or shame of being a girl. Right now, just from the way she was hanging on him, those two “little white rabbits” were almost squishing his arm.
No wonder they call her a “TS girl.”
“Meow meow~ Teacher, look, that’s a huge fish!!” Suddenly, a sweet, soft, and adorable voice sounded from the riverside. The two instinctively turned to look.
A man in a white coat and a little boy in a blue-and-white striped robe, sensing their gaze, turned to look their way.
Their eyes met. Ji Yuenián instantly buried her head in Jiang Chi’s arms like an ostrich. Jiang Chi hadn’t even reacted before he heard Zhang Junfang from across the way call out.
“Junior Jiang.”
“Hello, Senior.”
Jiang Chi responded politely, while a timid and weak female voice whispered in his ear, “Cover for me, cover for me. He’s someone I know.”
Ji Yuenián was already panicking inside, praying that the dim night had hidden her face from view.
After all, Zhang Junfang knew about her penchant for crossdressing. If he realized she was not only crossdressing, but actually out for a walk with a man…
Just thinking about it made Ji Yuenián want to jump into the Yellow River.
“And this lady is?” Zhang Junfang, holding Yan Qing the little boy’s hand, set his gaze on the mature woman trembling in Jiang Chi’s arms.
“My girlfriend. She’s shy and afraid of strangers,” Jiang Chi said concisely.
The two chatted for a bit, mainly about the supposed split personality symptoms Jiang Chi had faked before, then went their separate ways.
“Teacher, that big sister just now has Brother Jiang’s scent on her.” After the two had left, a little head suddenly popped up in front of Zhang Junfang. The amber eyes were full of curiosity.
“That’s normal. They’re a couple.”
“No, meow~” Yan Qing shook his head, looking oddly perplexed. “I noticed that big sister is actually Brother Ji. His—her scent has changed a bit. It’s gotten softer.”
“Teacher, it seems like Brother Ji has turned into a big sister.”
“What?!”
