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

Chapter 221 : Movie

Lin Nan certainly didn't plan on going lesbian. She was still rational enough to know that yuri relationships were basically ruining another girl's youth.

Moreover, after losing large amounts of testosterone and a certain body organ, her body could no longer generate excited emotions toward girls.

Her brain had also been subtly influenced by Lilith. Because of Lina, her extreme distaste for lesbian women had slightly affected Lin Nan, making her feel some repulsion toward yuri as well.

But toward men...

Undeniably, Lin Nan had discovered long ago that her body would react to men.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so anxious to leave the male dormitory and live alone back then.

It was just that reason and the worldview formed over many years told her that liking males was unacceptable and even somewhat disgusting... She still equated liking men with being gay.

Lin Nan was quite conflicted about her sexual orientation.

"I'll stay single. I'm not interested in either men or women," Lin Nan replied after pondering for a long while.

Every time she encountered this kind of question, she would reflexively think about it, and ultimately still found that she couldn't like people of any gender.

"I see?" Liu Xinyi asked curiously, "Then why did Little Uncle say you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Nan explained with a bitter smile, "That's my former college roommate. He helped me scrape together enough money for the surgery. They just assumed it was a bride price or something..."

"Isn't it basically a bride price?"

"I already said it's not. This is brotherhood! I'll pay it back later!"

Although this was a lie, Lin Nan discovered that everyone around her had completely misinterpreted this lie. Her original intention was just to explain that she had legitimately and lawfully gathered money to undergo surgery to become female, not that she'd hooked up with a boyfriend.

But Liu Xinyi seemed not to understand Lin Nan's words and pursued the question: "Is he handsome?"

"Pretty good, I guess?" Lin Nan's mind also unconsciously recalled Chen Yao's face. "He's not particularly handsome, but at least he's more handsome than Jiaming, and his physique is better too."

"Cousin Jiaming has totally lost his looks, okay? Same with Little Uncle. Each one lost their looks more than the last. Back when Cousin Jiaming was in middle school, now that was handsome."

"True."

Wu Jiaming in middle school had indeed been a handsome guy. Back then he looked a bit like Leslie Cheung, but later he got fatter and fatter, his face rounder and rounder, plus issues like oily skin and acne during puberty... Like Lin Nan during puberty, he'd lost his looks. (TN: Hong Kong’s “Elder Brother” (Look it up yourself.))

However, even though Wu Jiaming had lost his looks, he still retained some of his foundation, and his personality was sunny. In high school he'd already bragged to Lin Nan about having his first love, and later had girlfriend after girlfriend, partying at bars and clubs everywhere... Moreover, his parents were both abroad. They claimed the work didn't pay well, but he had more money than anyone.

He was probably what the internet called a scumbag.

"Cousin..." Liu Xinyi hesitated, "There's something I don't know if I should ask."

"Go ahead."

"Have you... done it with a girl before?"

Lin Nan's mouth twitched. What kind of questions were these?

"I'm just really curious~"

Lin Nan let out a long sigh. When she turned eighteen, she hadn't even held a girl's hand. Later, although she had slept in the same bed as a girl once, right after that she herself became a girl.

She hadn't even had time to experience what being a man felt like. Lin Nan could only shake her head.

Liu Xinyi clicked her tongue in amazement. "Tsk tsk, Sis, you didn't look that bad before either. How are you even weaker than me? At least I had a girlfriend."

She didn't think she'd looked particularly good before and could only pretend not to hear.

After satisfying Liu Xinyi's curiosity, this girl finally shut her mouth and obediently sat at the head of the bed playing on her phone, browsing Douyin. Lin Nan had already been playing on her phone and computer for several days. Now she'd lost interest in these things and idly thought about what she should do to fill the boring life at Grandfather's house.

She couldn't very well go work in the fields with Grandfather, could she?

Or go clubbing like Jiaming?

Or organize a mahjong table? There happened to be four people now.

At dinner time, Grandfather showed little reaction upon seeing Liu Xinyi's arrival. He only frowned when he saw her and asked with some distaste, "Why are you still wearing that? Neither male nor female, your hair is even shorter than your cousin's."

"I like it," Liu Xinyi replied, completely unconcerned about Grandfather's distaste.

Lin Nan glanced at Grandmother standing beside Grandfather. Over these past few days, she and Grandmother had hardly seen each other.

Grandmother probably truly couldn't accept that her previously most beloved grandson had become a granddaughter, could she?

She watched Grandmother put vegetables into her rice bowl as usual and then leave for the nearby mahjong parlor, sighing lifelessly.

Although she had magic, there was no way to change other people's thinking. Even that charm magic could only make people fall in love and become mindless for a brief time.

Lin Nan had never quite gotten used to the meals at Grandfather's house. Usually there were stewed dishes and raw or pickled fish and shrimp. Lin Nan wasn't very interested in either, and Grandfather really liked using fermented rice as an ingredient. Whether it was fish, meat, or anything else, he'd add some.

Fortunately, Grandfather also knew the dishes at home didn't suit Lin Nan's taste. Occasionally he would buy finished products like roast chicken or fried chicken from the market, or things like braised meat or hamburgers.

As for Wu Jiaming and Wu Guodong, they'd basically grown up living here since childhood. The cuisine was the taste of home to them...

Cousin's arrival meant that the roast chicken that could originally last two meals disappeared in one meal. Originally most of the roast chicken belonged to her, but now she had to compete for it.

"Are you going to the beach to catch crabs tonight?" Halfway through dinner, Grandfather looked up and suggested, "Aren't you afraid of getting moldy staying at home?"

The juniors almost simultaneously shook their heads.

Although it was boring at home, the beach was even more boring, okay?

After eating, with nothing else to do, several people all gathered in Wu Guodong's bedroom.

Little Uncle had brought a projector. After moving the entire TV cabinet away, he aimed the projector at the snow-white wall. Soon a clear computer image appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What should we watch tonight?" He sat in front of the computer operating it, searching for movies online.

Just like when they were children, the four of them gathered in the same bedroom to watch a movie.

Lin Nan sat on one side of the bed head, curled up with her legs, yawning listlessly. Wu Jiaming sat on the other side of the bed head. Only Liu Xinyi, lying at the foot of the bed, answered: "A romance action film!"

This girl was really a bit wild.

"No." Wu Guodong replied without any reaction, and finally selected a horror film that had been released a few years ago and supposedly had good reviews.

In the past when they got together, they also liked watching horror films, but Lin Nan had always been the one hiding under the blankets.

The lights were turned off, leaving only the light from the projector operating in the room. The sound effects of the horror atmosphere began to appear on the wall along with the movie's opening, immediately making Lin Nan's emotions tense.

"My projector cost several thousand. Not bad, right?"

"Waste of money." Lin Nan muttered, then reflexively pulled over the blanket to cover herself, revealing only half her face, her eyes somewhat uneasy.

She was afraid she'd have nightmares again tonight.

"Cousin! I'm scared!" Liu Xinyi suddenly moved closer, saying she was scared, but excitedly trying to burrow into the blanket.

Lin Nan kicked her out with one foot: "Get away from me!"
