Chapter 211 : Male Cousin
Chapter 211 : Male Cousin
Things seemed to be heading in a strange direction.
Not only did her mother think she had committed her life to Chen Yao, but she also wanted to drag her to the bathroom to discuss some physiological issues.
Speaking of which, Lin Nan wasn't very clear about other families' children, but at least she had never received any sex education from her parents throughout her entire life.
Her curiosity about girls arose from elementary school physiology textbooks, and later accidentally discovering various adult anime at the internet cafe opened up her new world.
However, unlike some hot-blooded young people, she watched such things mainly out of curiosity, so she didn't watch much.
Although she didn't know much, she at least knew the differences between men and women, knew how to reproduce offspring, and knew that now that she had become a girl, she should protect her body.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered what happened after getting drunk last night.
The memory wasn't very clear, but she at least remembered that she had tried to seduce Chen Yao.
She couldn't recall what her thoughts were at that time. Maybe it was a bit of self-destructive "breaking the jar and smashing it"? Or perhaps she thought that since Chen Yao cared for her body and she couldn't repay Chen Yao's kindness to her...
Or maybe it was simply pure lust...
Her face felt a bit hot. Lin Nan couldn't understand how she could have done such a thing after getting drunk.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to suppress the heat on her face. Ever since being possessed by Lilith, her skin seemed to have become much thinner, easily blushing at the slightest provocation.
It might also be because her former self rarely experienced anything particularly embarrassing. Usually, the most shameful things were being made to stand as punishment in class, being unable to answer questions when called upon, or falling down during PE class. So recently, her thin-skinned nature was finally showing itself.
Lying in bed with her phone, she chatted briefly with Chen Yao online and generally understood that Chen Yao indeed wasn't driven away by her mother, which finally put her at ease.
However, if her mother ever brought up the matter of borrowing money for surgery with Chen Yao in the future, then her lie would be exposed.
Lin Nan had a headache thinking about future matters, so she simply didn't bother to think about it. When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a path forward. No matter what, she could get by somehow.
Dinner time was approaching. Lin Nan heard her mother calling from downstairs, so she got up to bring in the bedding from the balcony before slowly going downstairs.
The most troublesome thing about living at grandfather's house was going up and down stairs, and although there was internet here, it wasn't very stable. Even watching videos would lag for ages. Lin Nan still preferred ordinary apartment buildings, at least she could avoid the stairs.
Coming to the first-floor hall, just as she came down the stairs, Lin Nan spotted a man nearly six feet tall with coffee-colored hair.
She was startled, and only after seeing that slightly chubby face did she realize this was her male cousin.
How did cousin become non-mainstream? And he's gotten much more robust too.
Wu Jiaming heard the sound from the stairs, turned his head to look, and asked grandfather with a smile, "Whose girl is this beautiful?"
"Xiuying's." Grandfather took a sip of white wine and answered.
Lin Nan's mother's name was Wu Xiuying, ranking third among the siblings.
"I thought it was little uncle's girlfriend. Uncle, you're already thirty and still single?" Wu Jiaming teased Wu Guodong beside him, but suddenly remembered something and asked his mother in confusion, "Did aunt's family have a female cousin?"
Mother looked a bit awkward, beckoning Lin Nan to sit beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "It's Nan Nan, your male cousin..."
???
Wu Jiaming was completely dumbfounded. He looked up at Lin Nan seated to his left, scanned her up and down, then fixed his gaze on that familiar yet strange face.
It did look like cousin Lin Nan, but no matter how you looked at it, this was clearly a girl! Where did his male cousin get breasts from?
Lin Nan felt embarrassed under his stare, lowered her head, and obediently ate her rice without saying anything.
Grandfather casually added a piece of half-fat, half-lean pork belly to Lin Nan's bowl. Seeing that both Lin Nan and her mother refused to speak up and explain, he simply got straight to the point: "Nan Nan had some kind of deformity when she was little. We always raised her as a boy. Only recently when she felt unwell and went for a checkup did we discover she was actually a girl."
Cousin was completely bewildered.
"You mean, my male cousin was always female?"
He recalled childhood memories of bathing with Lin Nan in the bathtub, running around naked together in the backyard washing themselves, but no matter how he remembered, he couldn't recall Lin Nan having any feminine characteristics back then.
But perhaps misled by the explanation, his past memories deceived him. Carefully recalling and digging deeper into his memories, he suddenly felt that his childhood cousin did indeed seem to have an introverted personality like a girl, and for a period, his appearance was quite delicate. He glanced strangely at Lin Nan beside him who was eating with her head down, feeling somewhat weird about it all.
His male cousin who grew up with him was actually a female cousin.
Wu Jiaming stared blankly at Lin Nan. This kind of thing wasn't impossible to accept, but it was indeed hard to believe when it happened right beside him.
The usually lively dinner table was somewhat quiet today. Grandmother stood to the side, picked up a few bites of food and put them in her bowl, then walked out expressionlessly with her bowl to watch mahjong. Grandfather drank a small cup of white wine and shifted his gaze to the television.
Cousin Wu Jiaming was still in a daze. Finally sighing deeply, he just felt that he had originally regretted that his male cousin had grown up ugly, but unexpectedly, in the span of a year, he had become a beauty.
"Want to go to the internet cafe together after dinner?" At the quiet dinner table, Wu Guodong suddenly suggested, "The three of us can team up?"
This was the fastest way he could think of to ease the awkwardness between Lin Nan and Jiaming.
"I guess that's fine." Wu Jiaming smiled bitterly, thinking that after his male cousin became a girl, she seemed to be quite well cared for.
You have to know that in the past, aunt couldn't be bothered to care about Lin Nan, but now she was serving food and whispering quietly about something. Obviously, the mother-son relationship was much better than before.
And grandfather was actually serving Lin Nan food too. He had never seen such behavior before.
But indeed, she needed more care. Suddenly learning about incorrect gender would be difficult for anyone to bear.
No wonder his cousin seemed much more melancholic than before. He had barely seen any smiles so far.
"Jiaming graduated now, right? What are you doing for work?" Mother suddenly asked him.
"Sales, what else could I do?" Mentioning life, Wu Jiaming's face immediately became bitter, "I'm planning to go abroad to find my dad. I can barely survive on a few thousand yuan a month here."
Mother rolled her eyes: "Your father's situation is much harder than domestic life. Didn't he want you to go before you started junior college? You stubbornly refused."
"I know, it's just odd jobs like chopping vegetables at a restaurant and such..." Wu Jiaming picked up some food, hesitated for a moment, then could only shake his head, "I found a girlfriend, I need to earn more money."
Lin Nan was immediately drawn to this, widening her eyes curiously to look at him.
No wonder cousin got so much fatter. He had a girlfriend! Hearing this news for the first time, both mother and Wu Guodong immediately started urging him to show photos. Wu Jiaming was quite outgoing and thick-skinned, not being coy about it, directly pulling up photos on his phone to show everyone.
Lin Nan craned her neck to take a look.
Hmm, not as good-looking as me, a bit ugly, not worthy of cousin.
