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

Chapter 229 : Awkwardness

Lin Nan had originally just wanted to hang out with Chen Yao for a bit.

Anyway, after playing for an afternoon, she could tell Wu Guodong and her relatives she'd gone to Chen Yao's house for an early New Year's visit, and no one would know.

But she hadn't expected that as soon as she met Chen Yao, she'd be dragged all the way to his house.

Seeing his parents again, Lin Nan's reaction wasn't as restrained as last time.

Following behind Chen Yao into the room, Lin Nan looked up to see Auntie coming over with a face full of smiles, enthusiastically taking the milk from Lin Nan's hands.

"You came, so why bring gifts?" Auntie furrowed her brows, pretending to glare at her angrily. "Next time if you bring things again, Auntie won't receive you."

The milk was something Lin Nan had temporarily bought at the small shop downstairs, and she'd spent Chen Yao's money for it.

This enthusiastic energy made Lin Nan very uncomfortable, but fortunately she'd already experienced it once before, so this time she could barely accept it.

She just kept smiling foolishly at Auntie, not knowing what to say.

"Haven't eaten lunch yet, right? In another half hour the food will be ready. When I heard you were coming this time, I specially bought a lot of good things." Auntie smiled until her face was full of wrinkles. She accepted the milk and hurried toward the bedroom. "Oh right, wait a moment, I have something for you."

"Something?"

Lin Nan was still a bit confused. She turned to look at Chen Yao, but he also looked completely puzzled.

"Have some cola first. Who knows what's up with my mom." Chen Yao led Lin Nan to sit on the sofa, went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of cola and handed it to Lin Nan, then crossed his legs and lowered his head to start playing on his phone.

Playing on his phone, his eyes still couldn't help but glance at Lin Nan sitting beside him.

Probably because she was a bit nervous, Lin Nan's sitting posture was very proper, her legs pressed tightly together, her waist straight. She looked like she had the bearing of a refined young lady.

Because of the fitted suit on her body, Chen Yao could clearly see the charming curve between Lin Nan's waist and hips. He didn't know when his childhood friend had already become so curvaceous with such a nice figure.

"By the way, where's your dad?" Lin Nan suddenly discovered one person was missing from the room.

"He went downstairs to the neighbor's house to play mahjong. I told him not to go but he wouldn't listen." Chen Yao shrugged. "But it doesn't seem too serious. That neighbor usually doesn't go out much anyway."

"Mm." Lin Nan nodded restrainedly, lowered her head to look at her toes in pink slippers, and asked again, "How come I didn't see these slippers last time?"

Mentioning this, Chen Yao could only show a bitter smile. "My mom went to the supermarket last time and bought you a pile of daily necessities. In the bathroom there are skincare products she bought for you, towels, bath towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes all prepared neatly. She even bought you a set of clothes..."

"Huh?"

"No matter what I said, she wouldn't listen. She just treats you as my girlfriend." Although Chen Yao smiled bitterly, he also smiled quite happily.

"Several of my relatives also treat you as my boyfriend..." Lin Nan sighed and held her head in distress. "What exactly did you say to my mom that day? How did she decide you're my boyfriend? I... I can't even figure out if I like men or not."

Although she instinctively wanted to curse, thinking that Chen Yao's mother was in the next room, Lin Nan forcibly restrained herself.

Actually, she rarely cursed normally. It was only when together with a playmate like Chen Yao that she'd occasionally say a couple words.

"I just talked about things from when I met you until now." Chen Yao smiled a bit craftily. Clearly his plan to attack the future mother-in-law first had succeeded.

After not waiting long, Auntie came out of the bedroom holding a jewelry box and came directly to Lin Nan's side, opening the jewelry box.

"These are earrings Chen Yao's dad bought me back then. Try them on." Auntie gently handed the jewelry box to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan looked at the small diamonds on the earrings, her eyes shining. "These are... for me?"

She swallowed and pointed at her own face. "Isn't that not quite appropriate? They're too valuable..."

These were diamonds! She'd only seen them in advertisements before! Not only pretty, but also very expensive!

Ever since her aesthetic sense was also influenced by Lilith, Lin Nan couldn't resist these kinds of shiny, sparkling things. Moreover, this kind of valuable item could be resold for a large sum of money.

Chen Yao glanced at her eyes and felt Lin Nan was going crazy with happiness inside.

"Of course my daughter-in-law should use the best things." Auntie took out the pendant and was about to put it on Lin Nan's ear, but froze in confusion and asked, "You don't have pierced ears?"

Lin Nan didn't know whether she should refute the daughter-in-law issue or explain about the ear piercings.

She suddenly woke up from being dazzled by jewels and immediately shook her head in refusal. "Auntie, I don't even have ear piercings, so you should keep these earrings..."

If she accepted such a valuable thing, wouldn't that confirm her status as Chen Yao's girlfriend?

"It's fine, I'll take you to get your ears pierced this afternoon." Auntie interrupted Lin Nan's words. She put the earrings back with some disappointment, then suddenly remembered the soup stewing in the kitchen and hurried up from the sofa.

Lin Nan was still a bit dazed, staring at the earrings placed on the coffee table without blinking. She even had the urge to grab them and run.

So pretty... my girlish heart...

"My mom is like this, thinking of one thing after another. Just accept what she gives you. Last time you didn't accept the meeting gift she gave you, and I got lectured for three days because of it." Chen Yao crossed his legs and yawned. "Oh right, there's a high school reunion tomorrow. Let's go together."

"Isn't there that infectious disease thing?" Lin Nan tried hard to move her gaze away from the jewelry box.

"It should be fine, right?" Chen Yao scratched his head. He also felt this period wasn't great for gatherings.

It's just that the country was really strict about controlling the epidemic. When only a few dozen people got sick in the epidemic zone, they directly locked down the entire city. You should know from when the news came out until now was only about a week.

However, their province hadn't found any cases yet, and the high school classmates participating in the gathering hadn't come back from the epidemic zone either.

Lin Nan couldn't sit still. The earrings in front of her were really quite attractive, and she didn't pay much attention to the so-called gathering.

"I’ll join my uncle later. You can just go to the gathering yourself, right?" Lin Nan stood up and walked toward Chen Yao's bedroom. "I want to use your computer to play games. No objections, right?"

"No..." As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Yao saw Lin Nan push open the door and walk into his bedroom. He was stunned for a moment, but suddenly his expression changed dramatically.

"Wait! Don't touch my computer!"

He anxiously rushed into the bedroom, only to see Lin Nan already sitting in front of the computer with a blank expression.

"This is..." She heard the noise and looked up at Chen Yao. "Eri?"

"..."

"Bro, your mom is still home, the bedroom door isn't even locked, and you just left this kind of thing open on the computer desktop?" Lin Nan's face flushed red, but she still tried to act like she didn't care, even planning to crack a dirty joke to ease the awkwardness.

She'd shared adult anime with Chen Yao before, it's fine! Calm down! She was the one who opened up a new world for Chen Yao back then!

But although she thought this way, her head was already starting to smoke.

Chen Yao was even more embarrassed, feeling like the air in the room had frozen.

"My mom knocks before entering my bedroom..."

He explained while stepping forward to snatch away the mouse. His eyes scanned the progress bar, and he hurriedly closed the player.

If he wasn't wrong, Lin Nan had watched for over ten seconds, right?
