I Don’t Want to Be Turned into a Girl by Magic

Afternoon classes didn't start until 2:30, so there was plenty of time at lunch.

Lin Nan had originally planned to spend this lunch break in the cycle of reviewing and playing games, but hadn't expected to encounter something interesting.

"That girl probably doesn't like me," Chen Yao glanced at Lin Nan beside him, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets. "I'm not some super handsome guy."

Indeed, Chen Yao wasn't the kind of heartthrob who made girls weak in the knees. His square face and somewhat serious features meant he could never be a pretty boy.

But while a square face couldn't be handsome like Korean pop stars, it could be handsome in that masculine way of soldiers and police officers.

Chen Yao didn't have that military bearing, but with his defined facial contours and thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was at least decently handsome.

At least that's how Lin Nan had always seen him.

Looking at himself in comparison, whether in physique, mannerisms, or appearance, aside from his clothing style, there seemed to be nothing masculine about him anywhere.

Even though he had accepted the fate of becoming a girl during winter break, he still hoped he could be a real man for a short while longer.

"It's fine, I'm just going along because I'm bored," Lin Nan followed beside Chen Yao, extremely curious. "Besides, that girl definitely has feelings for you, right?"

"Could be that Dong An has something he wants me to help with."

Speaking of Dong An, Lin Nan had rarely seen him since the campus esports competition. After that, he played League of Legends less frequently, and his contact with Dong An was basically limited to in-game interactions.

"That guy actually has a sister?" Lin Nan imagined what that girl might look like. "His sister probably looks just as ugly as him, right?"

"You haven't even met her and you're already trash-talking her like this?" Chen Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Nan was just speaking casually. If that girl was standing right in front of him, even if she was truly ugly enough to hurt the eyes, he would try his best to compliment her from various weird angles.

After all, this was basic social courtesy.

Arriving at the school's front gate, the girl was already waiting for Chen Yao.

When she saw Chen Yao, her face lit up with joy, but when she noticed Lin Nan beside Chen Yao, her expression immediately stiffened.

As expected! This guy is totally lusting after Chen Yao!

Lin Nan was quite surprised. Although he had already suspected as much, when the scenario he had imagined actually played out, he still found it hard to understand.

Wait, someone like Chen Yao who only knew how to play games and basketball could actually have a girl who liked him?

He sighed deeply, feeling that this girl must be blind.

But Chen Yao was a steel-straight man, or rather, he completely didn't care about the other person's expression. With his hands stuffed in his pockets, he walked forward while yawning and complaining: "If you wanted to ask me out for lunch, couldn't you have said so earlier? You didn't ask me until after I'd already eaten."

"Um... I'm sorry."

The girl answered timidly, shrinking her neck. She seemed to be a very introverted person. When talking to Chen Yao, she didn't dare make eye contact, and her face had already turned red in moments.

However, Lin Nan's attention wasn't on this. His gaze gradually slid down from the girl's face, finally settling on her chest.

Holy crap! So big!

Lin Nan followed behind Chen Yao, curiously sizing her up. Although the girl's face wasn't particularly delicate, she had obviously put on makeup, clearly having made full preparations for this meeting with Chen Yao. But looking at her appearance, Lin Nan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Is he your boyfriend?" the girl asked softly, pursing her lips.

"No, he's my roommate."

"Roommate..." The girl's expression changed drastically. "Are you two... are you two living together?"

"???"

Are you brain-damaged or something?

If it weren't for the fact that this was a girl in front of him, Chen Yao would definitely have roasted her mercilessly, but he still forced a gentle smile, maintaining his rare gentlemanly demeanor: "No, he's male. He lives in the same dorm as me. Your brother should have mentioned him, right?"

"The one my brother mentioned, that Lin Nan who's obviously female but insists he's male?"

Lin Nan silently rolled his eyes beside Chen Yao, feeling like this girl was looking down on him.

But he really hadn't expected that this girl actually wanted to date Chen Yao, while Chen Yao was completely clueless.

But usually he thought Chen Yao's thinking was quite perceptive. Normally, Chen Yao could notice the slightest change in his facial expressions. How come when it came to this girl, he was acting as dumb as an idiot?

Or was he pretending to be dumb?

With him tagging along as a third wheel, it made that girl very uncomfortable. Chen Yao also had absolutely no interest in this introverted girl who would stutter and wasn't even as good-looking as a man, just answering a few questions perfunctorily.

"Her name is Dong Juan, she's a freshman." After being perfunctory, Chen Yao gave Lin Nan a brief introduction.

Unlike her brother Dong An's annoying personality, Dong Juan had an introverted and polite character. Even knowing that Lin Nan was a third wheel, she turned around and smiled while nodding in acknowledgment.

Her smile was beautiful, but Lin Nan just found her unpleasant. However, since the other party was smiling and being friendly, he couldn't just start cursing like the hothead Li Sisi would.

So he could only force out a smile for Dong Juan.

He didn't know why, but even though he had only come along with Chen Yao for fun, when he learned that Dong Juan seemed to really have feelings for Chen Yao, he felt strong dissatisfaction rising in his heart.

It was like how Xiong Da, who loved figurines, would feel when he discovered some brat treating his beloved figurine as a toy. A mix of anger and helplessness.

Lin Nan felt his lower abdomen beginning to ache slightly. An unpleasant chill accompanied his dissatisfaction as it gradually appeared, making his mood increasingly gloomy, along with some indescribable irritation rising to his head.

He suddenly realized that following beside Chen Yao was simply torture. So he decided to compare himself with her to ease his agitation.

Chest—this couldn't be compared, they weren't even in the same league. Face—although his seemed more delicate, Dong Juan was wearing makeup. Legs—well, his leg proportions were somewhat longer.

Lin Nan looked down at his own legs wrapped in casual pants, then looked at Dong Juan, who was wearing a short skirt even in late autumn, and his mouth twitched.

She looks introverted and pure! But wearing so little in this cold weather, obviously coming out to seduce Chen Yao!

While internally criticizing Dong Juan, Lin Nan became even more dejected.

He felt mild abdominal pain, his period arriving on schedule as predicted a couple days ago.

Compared to other girls who could detect it as soon as they started bleeding, he always had to wait until his lower abdomen started aching before he could notice something was wrong.

It must be because of his period that his emotions were fluctuating so dramatically. Normally, even when he saw some girls on the street who were beautiful enough to make him jealous, he would at most maintain an appreciative and envious attitude. But today, he actually felt intense jealousy.

They slowly wandered from the front gate to the back gate. Dong Juan tried her best to ignore Lin Nan's presence, but unfortunately, Chen Yao was completely clueless about romance. With a turn of his head, he saw that Lin Nan, who was following behind, didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"My friend doesn't seem to be feeling well." He scratched his head and asked Dong Juan, "How about we talk another time?"

"..."

Dong Juan pursed her lips and nodded helplessly.

No wonder my brother says you deserve to be single!
