Lin Xinyuan poked at the other side’s hand, causing it to immediately pull back. After waiting a while, the phone finally dinged—stinky Yellow Hair had finally sent a message.
“Spill it, I might be able to help. DogHead.JPG”
Lin Xinyuan hurriedly typed, “Can you help me find a place nearby? As long as the environment is decent.”
“Why do you want to find a place? Moving out?”
“Yeah! This afternoon I almost couldn’t even get into the dorm…”
Lin Xinyuan truly felt it was inconvenient now. When he came back this afternoon, the aunt downstairs was suspicious and almost didn’t let him in…
Now that he looked like a girl, it was the same whether as a boy or a girl; in the future, he might even be kicked out as a perverted girl.
After a short while, Qin Nanfeng finally sent another message: “Alright, you’ve basically become a girl now, it’s not good living with a bunch of men. I’ll check for a place in the next few days.”
“Yay!”
Lin Xinyuan clenched his fists, muttering softly in gratitude toward Qin Nanfeng.
Although those words stung his male identity that he’d held onto for so long, it was the truth…
“Thanks, Qin-ge. If you ever need help, I’ll do my best to return the favor.”
Even though he didn’t expect Yellow Hair to ask for his help on anything, Lin Xinyuan still felt he had to say the polite words.
“Alright.”
After the other side sent this, there was no further movement. Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan finally replied with a polite “ok” emoji.
Thinking that the housing issue was probably settled, he finally collapsed onto the bed, feeling much more relaxed.
Lin Xinyuan counted on his fingers—he’d earned some money writing these past two or three years, plus he did part-time jobs every winter and summer break…
After deducting necessary living expenses for the month, he still had just over two thousand yuan in disposable funds.
As a first-tier city, Tianbei’s overall cost of living wasn’t low, but because the university town was a bit out of the way, the expenses around Tianbei University were much lower than the bustling city center.
Even so, Lin Xinyuan knew without thinking that renting a place meeting his basic needs would still cost at least a thousand, probably with a poorer environment.
Fortunately, it was the end of the month, so his parents would send him living expenses soon, and his manuscript payment was also about to be issued.
If he kept renting like this… plus paying for utilities and daily expenses, it shouldn’t be too big a problem…
As for food, entertainment, and other such things after renting, he might as well forget about them for now… and probably forever…
In short, knowing nothing but forced by circumstances, he had no choice but to move out.
He only knew that stinky Yellow Hair had the ability to help; otherwise, if someone like him who knew nothing had to find a place himself, he’d probably never get it done, and would get ripped off badly too!
“Eh…”
Thinking about moving out of the dorm made Lin Xinyuan sigh involuntarily, his heart sinking again.
By his guess, he might soon become a complete stranger to people who once knew him well.
By then, his identity would basically be erased, he wouldn’t be able to stay at school, let alone anywhere else…
Since it was all torment either way, it was better to speed up the process. It was only a matter of time before it came.
Even if more problems awaited, it was still much better than the current limbo state of neither male nor female…
Lin Xinyuan took out the jade bracelet he’d hidden away for a long time and not worn.
Thoughts flooded his mind.
Family…
Friends…
Roommates…
A few limited figures flashed through his mind. Lin Xinyuan was somewhat glad that he didn’t know many people and had such sparse social connections.
He guessed that completely cutting ties wouldn’t be such a heavy psychological burden?
The boy smiled, not knowing who he was mocking.
In the dim environment, the jade bracelet emitted a faint green glow, pulsing like it was breathing, as if sensing Lin Xinyuan’s emotional fluctuations.
He looked both wistful and resentful, a complex mix of feelings swirling inside…
After a long while, he slowly slipped the bracelet back on.
Unlike before, when it was a struggle to wear it, this time it slid on easily—after all, his wrist was now a whole size smaller than before!
The long-missed sensation of something dropping down came. The clothes, which were already somewhat loose on his body, became even baggier, with one collar even slipping off to reveal a patch of pale, tender shoulder.
Once he fully became her, it would have nothing to do with Lin Xinyuan anymore…
Or so it should be?
……
Qin Nanfeng readily agreed to Lin Xinyuan’s request; after all, it was nothing more than a small favor for him.
More than this matter, Qin Nanfeng was concerned about the guy himself.
He knew Lin Xinyuan’s personality—soft-hearted but stubborn, always blaming himself first.
People like that were prone to depression…
He had made Lin Xinyuan feel a bit better, but it was only a temporary fix. In the end, Lin Xinyuan had to pull himself out, no one else could do it for him…
Tsk… such a hassle…
He was the type who hated trouble above all else…
Although Qin Nanfeng considered Lin Xinyuan a friend, he had plenty of others too, so Lin wasn’t particularly special—well, barely special for now…
But whatever, from the beginning, he’d mostly been helping this guy just for the fun of watching.
It was like that at noon, and it was like that now helping Lin Xinyuan find a rental.
Qin Nanfeng was curious about how Lin Xinyuan would change next—would he really become “her” completely, just as expected?
He found it interesting, far more so than any girls he knew… Heh…
This was the first time he’d encountered something like this, and it happened so close to him. As a seasoning for life, it wasn’t bad…
Hmm…
Thinking this, a smile played on his lips as he swiped open a Contact List and sent a message.
Not long after exchanging a few words, the other party readily agreed, quickly resolving Lin Xinyuan’s problem.
……
Meanwhile, over a hundred kilometers away, in a suburban villa, Cheng Qian lay in bed with a look of disbelief staring at his phone screen.
The last message from the other side, sent several minutes ago, read: “Alright.”
Alright my ass!
As Qin Nanfeng’s childhood friend, three years older and now the Manager of a real estate company under Cheng Group after graduating from university, Cheng Qian felt irritated.
Getting contacted late at night just to deal with a small thing like renting a house was one thing…
But not even a single word of concern? What an asshole!
Good brothers don’t boss each other around like that!
Fine, fine, you’re the big boss then!
Cheng Qian vented furiously inside, but despite the complaints, he still intended to help properly.
It was just too late now. He considered himself a good leader and wouldn’t be as inconsiderate as Qin Nanfeng.
So!
He resolved to get serious and give his subordinates instructions first thing tomorrow morning!
No choice! It was because that guy kept pestering him to handle it quickly—Qin isn’t kind, but he can’t be unfair either!
Ahem… it’s definitely not for any other reason, he insisted!
If Qin Nanfeng knew what Cheng Qian was thinking now, he would definitely snort. Of course, he knew this was all because of his older sister. This wasn’t the first or second time.
“Just a simp.”
“Eh… wait, why is he renting? Didn’t say, right? Surely not just to have nothing better to do and live outside?”
Cheng Qian suddenly raised a question, stroking his chin with a puzzled look.
He actually didn’t want to care so much, but as a certain lady’s informant, he had his reasons!
“Could it be… hehe…”
Cheng Qian had some bold guesses but still needed to verify.
Anyway, once he got the specific information, he could report back to her, bringing them closer, right?
The man fantasized like this, completely absorbed in his own thoughts…
