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

Chapter 228 : What Are You Implying

From winter break until now, it had been about ten days.

Lin Nan estimated and calculated that it had also been over ten days since she'd separated from Chen Yao.

In the car, she looked things up online.

Intersex surgery was basically plastic surgery when you got down to it. The number of surgeries depended on the complexity of the patient's condition, and it usually took a month to be discharged.

But Chen Yao probably hadn't seriously inquired with any related hospital doctors. If Lin Nan claimed she only needed one surgery, one week for the operation, a few days for observation and recovery, and could now be discharged...

Anyway, Chen Yao wasn't a doctor. Although the process was a bit fast, he'd probably just be confused, right? As long as she was confident enough, he wouldn't doubt too much.

"What are you thinking about? We're here."

When she was called out of her distraction, Lin Nan discovered Wu Guodong had already gotten out of the car. They were on a commercial street in the county town.

She pushed open the door and left the car, looking up at her uncle. "So you're going on the blind date by yourself?"

"I can handle it myself. You can either go shopping or find your little boyfriend to hang out with?"

"Hey! Chen Yao really isn't my boyfriend!"

Lin Nan was furious. Whether it was her mother, Wu Guodong, or her cousins, these people wouldn't listen no matter how she explained. They just insisted on teasing and mocking her with these words.

She knew that after multiple explanations, it was probably just their teasing, but it still made her angry.

Getting out of the car, Lin Nan discovered that at some point, more than half the people on the street were wearing masks, and what should have been a bustling commercial street now only had a dozen or so pedestrians when she glanced around.

Wu Guodong also reached out to hand Lin Nan a mask. "Be careful."

"Mm."

Lin Nan nodded, suddenly feeling it was a bit irrational to come out at this time.

But the problem was she'd never had the habit of watching the news. She'd only heard about the infectious disease from her cousin and the others. She had thought it was far away and none of her concern, but unexpectedly in just a few days it had already affected daily life.

Wu Guodong locked the car door and prepared to go to the agreed-upon restaurant for his blind date. The private three-wheelers and motorcycles that used to be everywhere on the street were nowhere to be seen. After searching around and not finding any taxis either, Lin Nan could only call Chen Yao to come pick her up.

After waiting about ten minutes, Chen Yao, dressed all in black and wearing a mask and helmet, rode over on his electric scooter and found Lin Nan wandering around confused at the street corner.

"At a time like this you're still running around outside. Wouldn't it be better to stay quietly at your grandfather's house?"

As soon as they met, before Lin Nan could even express her joy, she got a lecture.

Her expression darkened and she turned her head away in a huff. "Then I'll take the bus back."

"Big sister, you'd dare take the bus at a time like this? Aren't you afraid there might be a sick person on the bus?" Chen Yao realized his tone was a bit heavy and softened it a little.

"You make it sound so serious..." Lin Nan muttered, getting a bit petulant.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for over ten days. Who would lecture someone right when they meet?

She looked dissatisfied, and only then did Chen Yao notice that Lin Nan was actually wearing normal women's clothing.

Usually when Lin Nan wore men's clothing it looked like women's clothing on her, but that boyish aura couldn't be dispersed no matter what. Now, having changed into a small suit, she had transformed into the heroic spirit of an ordinary girl.

Moreover, the fitted suit outlined the curves of Lin Nan's chest, making her more feminine and charming.

The mask covered most of her face, which could only focus people's attention on Lin Nan's big eyes that carried some embarrassment and annoyance, giving off a strange allure.

Chen Yao couldn't figure out why Lin Nan's eyes and brows always carried a certain mature woman's charm.

"Not bad, quite pretty." He unconsciously reached out to ruffle Lin Nan's hair.

So soft, the texture was really nice.

He decided not to wash his hand today.

Lin Nan didn't resist, just verbally retorted, "This is called handsome! Take your pig trotter away!"

"Alright, stop being difficult. Let's go." Chen Yao let go, turned to open the seat compartment, took out a pink helmet from inside and handed it to Lin Nan. "Here, put it on."

"Where are we going to play?" Lin Nan played with the helmet in her hands, then suddenly asked, "Which girl does this helmet belong to?"

"In this situation you still dare go to crowded places?" Chen Yao got on the bike and patted the seat behind him. "My mom's helmet. Hurry up and get on."

Since it was Auntie's, there was no problem.

Lin Nan muttered to herself and straddled the electric scooter, sitting behind Chen Yao, then stared blankly at the sparse pedestrians on the street.

Is it this serious? A few days ago when playing mahjong, didn't her cousin say it was under control?

"It's best not to go out. What if someone next to you infects you?" Chen Yao started the electric scooter while continuing to warn her.

Lin Nan answered absent-mindedly a few times, then suddenly felt the bike shake violently. Frightened, she quickly reached out to hug Chen Yao's waist.

"What are you doing!"

"Speed bump, can't help it." Chen Yao only felt a softness pressing against his back. His heart felt wonderful, and the anger about Lin Nan running around earlier disappeared completely. He hummed a song happily.

Lin Nan couldn't understand what this guy was so happy about, but afraid of falling off if she didn't sit properly, she could only hold Chen Yao's waist tightly.

For some reason, at Grandfather's house, even with her cousins and uncle there, it was only when seeing Chen Yao that the sense of security in her heart was filled.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. Even though there had been a bit of unpleasantness when they first met, she still felt very happy.

At Grandfather's house, she had been bored to the point her scalp went numb. Throughout the whole day she was too lazy to even smile. But now…

"Chen Yao."

"What?"

"I finished the surgery."

Chen Yao suddenly braked hard. Lin Nan was caught off guard and bumped her head into his back.

Not caring about the pain in his back, he stopped the bike and turned around to ask, "It’s already done?"

Lin Nan noticed his tone seemed very excited.

"What else?" Lin Nan felt very guilty, but still put on a confident appearance. "It's not that complicated a surgery. Stitches and hospital observation, adding it all up, you can be discharged in about ten days!"

She felt a bit uncertain inside, but at least on the surface she had to appear confident and serious as if she'd personally experienced it.

"Not complicated?" Chen Yao had called to consult with a doctor before. What he heard from the doctor wasn't like this. "Didn't they say normally you'd need to stay in the hospital for about a month?"

"I... my situation is relatively special. I recovered well..." Lin Nan hadn't expected he'd actually consulted about it. She didn't quite dare look at him, her gaze wandering as she explained haltingly. "Anyway, I'm already a girl now..."

"I can't help but feel like you're implying something with those words." Chen Yao couldn't help but reach out to ruffle Lin Nan's hair again. But with the helmet on, he could only shake her head.

Lin Nan confusedly slapped his hand away, looked up, and asked like a kid, "Huh?"
