A wonderful weekend blinked past in an instant, but for Lin Xinyuan at this moment, it was anything but pleasant.
Early morning, inside her rented room.
Even though she had anticipated it for a long time, when the day finally came, she was still at a loss.
“Gone, really gone…”
Fumbling at her pants, Lin Xinyuan muttered to herself like a madwoman.
Her emotions were complicated now—twisted happiness mixed with a deeper sadness.
“Am I… finally a girl now?”
At that thought, she smiled bitterly.
She didn’t know if there would be further changes inside her body, but on the outside, she was definitely a complete girl now.
Lin Xinyuan sat on the bed covered with fresh bedding, and by the time she finally calmed down, quite some time had passed.
Just as she picked up her phone from the bedside and saw the time, her eyes widened dramatically, nearly making her jump up.
“It’s over!”
Her soft, girlish voice trembled with urgency—she hadn’t expected to zone out for so long.
She almost forgot that today was Monday, 8 a.m.—Professor Lu’s class! And that old hag loved taking roll call, no chance of being late…
At this rate, she was probably going to be late! Damn it…
Thinking this, Lin Xinyuan hurried to wash up.
Finished with that, she quickly changed clothes, especially putting the newly bought lingerie on underneath everything before rushing out.
Because she was wearing the lingerie, she didn’t move as carefully as before—not like the times when even the slightest movement would rub uncomfortably, especially during exercise, sometimes causing redness and swelling.
It was mostly because the clothes she wore before were rather rough.
Back when she was still a boy, it didn’t matter, but since her body changed, her chest began developing and her skin grew much more delicate and fragile, causing constant irritation.
But these past two days, after putting on the lingerie, none of that happened.
In fact, once she got used to the feeling, taking them off felt empty and insecure.
She wasn’t sure if this habit was a good thing or a bad thing…
“Qin Nanfeng!”
In the classroom, a middle-aged woman stood at the podium, holding the attendance roster as she called out names.
“Here!” Qin Nanfeng responded casually, his voice a bit weak.
Due to some company matters, Qin Nanfeng had only slept a little over three hours last night, and he was already drowsy even before class officially started.
After responding to the teacher’s roll call, he chuckled awkwardly, looking completely drained.
Luckily, this was a coding theory class, mostly attended by big guys; there weren’t many girls.
Otherwise, Qin Nanfeng would be quite the sight for those girls…
Hearing the reply, the middle-aged woman nodded and didn’t bother Qin Nanfeng’s slack attitude, moving directly to the next name:
“Lin Xinyuan!”
Right after the words fell, there was a long pause—no response at all…
In the back row of the classroom, the five roommates from Dorm Room 308 were gathered.
“Damn, where’s Old Six? It’s Professor Lu’s class!” Xu Wentao whispered first, asking the others.
“Who knows! He’s usually so punctual, and now he’s missing? Hopefully, he’s not up to something bad outside. Please don’t…” Chen Ze replied with childish recklessness.
Hearing this, Xiong Wei sighed: “Old Five! If you can talk, don’t say anything. That’s really disgusting. Could you say something nicer for once?”
Beside Xiong Wei, Wen Yuanshan silently nodded in agreement but didn’t join their conversation, still reading an extracurricular book.
Chen Ze instinctively wanted to retort but held back, muttering: “Fine… better not say anything then…”
“Or… should one of us cover for him?”
“Go ahead and try,” Xu Wentao said with a mixture of respect and disbelief toward Chen Ze’s suggestion.
He wouldn’t dare. This class was already lackluster; if they got caught covering for someone and lost participation points, where would they cry?
At that moment, the middle-aged woman at the podium repeated herself, but the result remained unchanged.
She grew a little impatient, about to call the next name when she called again:
“Lin Xinyuan!”
As the words left her mouth, just as she was about to move on, a soft, gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door:
“Here…”
Instantly, all eyes in the classroom turned toward the voice. Everyone stared blankly in surprise.
It wasn’t just anyone—it was that person who drew all attention…
A stunningly beautiful girl, perhaps rushing in, her jacket’s hood had slipped down her back.
Her delicate, lovely face quietly appeared, hair just long enough to cover her ears, enhancing her charm.
Yes, this was Lin Xinyuan, who had come in a flash after a tough effort to arrive.
“Sorry… Professor… I… overslept…”
The girl panted as she explained haltingly.
She had been rushing all the way, partly running, and with her current weak constitution, she hunched slightly, clutching her chest, brows furrowed, face pale.
This frail and delicate posture stirred sympathy in others…
Hearing Lin Xinyuan’s words, the middle-aged woman at the podium was the first to react, pausing briefly before speaking in a flat tone: “Come in.”
At these words, Lin Xinyuan glanced at Professor Lu’s expressionless face—although ordinary-looking, there was an indescribable authority that frightened her somewhat.
“Oh… okay… thank you, teacher.”
Seeing no further reaction, she quickly looked away, secretly relieved, lowering her head slightly as she sheepishly walked into the classroom.
Professor Lu ignored her and continued calling the attendance list:
“Let’s continue…”
“Lin Budong!”
“Here!”
Looks like no points were deducted this time…
Lin Xinyuan walked in, quietly grateful for her luck.
As for this female professor, Lin Xinyuan only knew her surname was Lu, having forgotten her full name—it didn’t really matter.
She was remarkable: unassuming in appearance but the only female professor in the entire School of Engineering, and already the Vice Dean by her early forties.
It was rare to have such a young female professor in other schools, let alone in this conservative School of Engineering. The fact that she was Vice Dean said enough about her influence.
She was definitely a formidable figure!
But no matter how impressive Professor Lu was, what made students remember her was more than just her title.
Besides her authority as Vice Dean, it was her unpredictable personality.
In cases like Lin Xinyuan’s tardiness, Professor Lu often deducted participation points, but sometimes she let it slide…
During class, she could randomly call on students to answer questions, making many nervous about being called and losing points for not knowing the answers.
So basically, no one dared to skip her class or act out, fearing their name being called.
Professor Lu’s mood-driven teaching style earned her grudges from some students, who nicknamed her the “Old Witch,” a name that spread far and wide.
Though Lin Xinyuan felt giving people nicknames wasn’t polite, she couldn’t deny it was fitting—Professor Lu loved to stir trouble!
Whether Professor Lu let her off this time was a mystery.
Could it be because she looked like a girl now?
People had tried using that excuse before, but none had succeeded.
Lin Xinyuan couldn’t think of any explanation either…
Most likely, it was a girl’s privilege?
After the girl was let in by Professor Lu, the students in the classroom, including Lin Xinyuan’s roommates, finally snapped out of their daze.
They automatically filtered out Professor Lu’s words, focusing their eyes on Lin Xinyuan.
One boy who had already been called multiple times only reacted by the third call, hurriedly raising his hand and repeatedly saying “Here.”
That guy’s reaction to seeing Lin Xinyuan made some nearby students laugh out loud, leaving the boy blushing as red as a monkey’s behind…
