Lin Xinyuan’s eyes suddenly widened as he stared at his reflection in the mirror, a storm raging through his mind.
This…
What the hell is this?
Why is the change so drastic today?
In the mirror stood a somewhat androgynous young boy, with fair skin, delicate features, and a well-proportioned figure.
Compared to before this transformation, Lin Xinyuan felt he had gained some flesh—no longer as skinny as before, especially his butt seemed perkier?
He touched his face.
The once somewhat rugged features had softened quite a bit.
Then he rolled up his pants to check his legs.
Good grief!
Although he had a sparse hair type, there had always been some stray leg hair before.
But now, to the naked eye, his leg hair was nearly invisible.
His skin was previously fairly fair but not this smooth.
Now, touching it was almost like… a girl’s…
Before this transformation, aside from the first time he wore that jade bracelet, the daily changes had been subtle and never leaned toward feminization—just maintaining his original form and eliminating flaws.
But this time, he had become… quite a bit more feminine?
Wait!
What?
Thinking this, Lin Xinyuan finally noticed the details and closely examined his increasingly androgynous face.
It was still his face, but it was edging closer to ‘Lin Xinyuan’s’ female counterpart!
Lin Xinyuan!
Lin Xinyuan!
That’s it…
Comparing his current self with the female version in his mind, he was even more shocked.
He knew that although the transformed version looked somewhat similar to his original self, without placing them side by side, no one would notice anything wrong…
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to meet Qin Huangmao directly in a female identity.
Now, this face really showed a bit of Lin Xinyuan’s traits…
No wonder he felt like he had gained weight during his shower and that his skin was much smoother…
Lin Xinyuan was already feeling something was wrong, his heart uneasy, a constant premonition that something big was about to happen…
He touched that delicate face, but there was nothing he could do but hold back his anxiety for now.
Comforting himself this way, he forced down the unease and finished washing his clothes before returning indoors.
At this moment, Chen Ze and the others had gradually woken up after nearly a whole day of intense gaming, which had turned their day and night upside down.
Chen Ze had just woken up, browsed some short videos, then lazily stretched before letting out a deafening shout:
“Ah~ feels good~”
Rubbing his eyes, he glanced around.
The lights were off, making the room somewhat dim, but his good eyesight still caught sight of Sixth Brother sitting at the lower desk.
“Sixth Brother… you’re back?” Chen Ze said, then looked around: “Has Boss Qin come back yet?”
Lin Xinyuan sat at his spot, distractedly watching a video on the computer.
Upon hearing this, he tensed, afraid of being noticed, and glanced sideways at Chen Ze: “No, I didn’t see him when I came back.”
Should be fine, he hoped his changes hadn’t been noticed…
“Oh… was hoping he’d come back and carry us to rank… You too, always out lately! Hitting on girls without telling me!”
“Heh heh heh…”
Lin Xinyuan could only laugh it off, though he wanted to argue back—maybe even bring Yu Xiaowei in to refute—but his mind was a muddled mess.
Xu Wentao, who had gotten up earlier, suddenly sat upright like a zombie and turned his head to reply: “Damn, don’t even mention it. Today I lost six rounds in a row, my points drained me dry. Luckily, we clawed some back later, or I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight!”
He patted his thigh angrily, “patter patter.”
“Hey, enough. After playing all day for nothing, might as well just wait to be carried… Let’s not talk about this damn game anymore,” Chen Ze waved his hand and opened some yellow app, “I’m ordering some good food to soothe my wounded soul, don’t wanna go to the canteen.”
“Alright… Fourth Brother, going to the canteen?” Xu Wentao nodded as he got off the bed.
“He still isn’t awake, right?” Chen Ze guessed.
Xu Wentao got out of bed and saw Fourth Brother Wen Yuanshan still fast asleep: “Yo, he really is! Man, sleeps so hard! I bet he went to the library again today to grind!”
Muttering in frustration, then glancing at Lin Xinyuan who had just returned from being on the computer all day, Xu Wentao asked with some expectation, “Hey Sixth Brother, have you eaten? If not, come with me.”
“Uh… I ate too much at lunch, not hungry now. I’ll order some late-night snacks later, so I won’t join you.”
Lin Xinyuan noticed Xu Wentao’s disappointed look.
“Fine fine fine, I’ll go alone! Lone wolf here! Sigh…”
Xu Wentao sighed, looking a bit aggrieved.
Just as he was about to turn toward the balcony to use the restroom, he seemed to notice something and suddenly looked back at Lin Xinyuan, eyeing him up and down.
He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times, then leaned in closer, making Lin Xinyuan feel like he’d been exposed.
“Damn, Sixth Brother, you scared me. I almost thought a girl had come into the dorm.” Xu Wentao patted his chest.
“Tsk, bro, I told you, without those glasses you’re basically blind!” Chen Ze heard this and briefly looked away from the screen, laughing at Xu Wentao.
He also took a good look at Lin Xinyuan.
He hadn’t noticed before, but now that he examined him closely, there really was a difference.
He scratched his head, feeling Lin Xinyuan’s changes were quite obvious today.
Before, the most noticeable was better skin, but this time was different—something hard to describe…
Chen Ze didn’t know how to put it, so he chose a diplomatic phrase: “Hmm… seems like you’ve become… more handsome?”
“You dog, I told you, I wouldn’t be wrong!”
“Yeah yeah, only you could see a guy as a girl. You must be starving from being single for so long—go find someone to tame that sinful soul of yours, man! Azu!”
“You’re no better, got your president yet? Still dare to talk back to me?”
“But~ I’ve made progress! Recently invited to hang out! Ah, my mouth slipped, sorry~”
“Damn it***”
“……”
The two began exchanging family banter again, filling the dorm with laughter, while Lin Xinyuan quietly sighed in relief as their attention drifted away from him.
He turned back to the video playing on the screen, feeling his heart pound in his chest.
God knows how nervous he had been just now when they almost noticed something different!
Luckily, judging by their reactions, it seemed the ongoing subtle changes had prepared them.
Although this change was big, it was still somewhat acceptable…
No need to make up excuses.
Just tell them he’s developing…
Damn, whose family develops so abnormally though!
No, this jade bracelet is a problem!
Can’t use it recklessly anymore!
The sudden changes left Lin Xinyuan’s mind in chaos, unsure what to do.
The only certainty was that this jade bracelet was definitely problematic.
Before, he had been reckless, using it without care. Now he felt like a fool…
A sudden jade bracelet… transformation ability… flaw repair…
This was already very mystical!
But now… it wasn’t just mystical, it was downright strange!
He guessed this thing wasn’t just about transforming but also had the function to slowly alter the host’s original form.
If you ignored the previous minor changes, this transformation alone was far more significant than usual.
But whether he used it or not, this thing would eventually turn him into a girl—namely, “Lin Xinyuan”…
Turns out being honest and returning lost items does have its reasons!
The more Lin Xinyuan thought about it, the more terrified he became.
He didn’t even know if it was reversible!
This thing couldn’t stay with him anymore!
He had to throw it away!
Plan?
What plan at this time?
What nonsense!
Even DingTalk is less important than this!
