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

Chapter 238 : Sorry to Interrupt

Lin Nan was quite vexed about the two elders going out to volunteer.

And the problem was, Chen Yao didn't even try to dissuade them, very readily nodding in agreement.

Since their son had agreed, as a guest, she really couldn't say much more. She was just a bit annoyed that this guy didn't care at all about his parents' health.

After eating, she returned to the room, huffing as she began thinking about whether there was any magic that could eliminate the risk of the two elders being infected.

Although there were only two or three confirmed cases locally, looking at the tense atmosphere nationwide, plus Chen Yao constantly brainwashing her with the news, she was now terrified as well.

But the two elders didn't seem to care at all. Even though their protective measures every time they went out were basically the highest level among ordinary people, and they used alcohol to disinfect when entering and leaving the house, Lin Nan still felt it was best not to go out during this time.

"What's wrong? Angry?" Chen Yao pushed open the door, holding a small bowl of apple slices cut into pieces. He placed it on the bedside table, then took out toothpicks from the drawer and stuck them in. "Want some?"

"I'm full." Lin Nan replied irritably, rolling over and too lazy to pay attention to him.

"This little temper of yours..." Chen Yao was speechless. Lin Nan didn't used to lose her temper so easily.Why did it seem her personality now was almost no different from an ordinary girl?

He ate two bites of fruit before answering, "They already registered. After these couple days together, do you think with my status in this family, my advice would be useful? Besides, it's just an excuse anyway. They say they're going to volunteer, but actually they're just going to live in another apartment downstairs for a few days."

Lin Nan turned her head to look at him suspiciously, asking a heart-piercing question. "You weren't picked up off the street by them, were you?"

"I've suspected that too, especially after you moved in." Chen Yao used a toothpick to spear a piece of apple and offered it to Lin Nan. Lin Nan consciously opened her mouth waiting to be fed. "In the past, forget having fruit peeled and cut, it probably wouldn't even be washed. They'd just toss it over there for me to eat myself."

Chen Yao delivered the apple into her mouth, then quickly lowered his head to play with his phone.

Those cherry lips...

He couldn't help but have some not-so-harmonious images of eating popsicles appear in his head.

Chen Yao discovered that these past two days sleeping in the same room with Lin Nan, probably because they were often alone together, his head always produced some strange and bizarre things. And the bedroom was also gradually filling with that milky fragrance unique to Lin Nan.

Besides the milky fragrance, he had once smelled an even more exciting floral scent...

"So you're really not going to try persuading your parents?" Lin Nan chewed the apple and muttered, "You seem to have a pretty good relationship with them. Why aren't you persuading them about something like this?"

"How can you tell that I have a good relationship with them?"

Lin Nan didn't know how to put it, but seeing Chen Yao joking and bickering with his parents, she always hoped such scenes could appear in her own family too.

Perhaps Chen Yao felt he had no family status, always being scolded and looked down upon, but Lin Nan was immensely envious. A mentality called jealousy was expanding day by day.

"Anyway, I think it's pretty good..." She turned her head away, not daring to let that jealousy become too intense. Instead she began to continue recalling Lilith's memories, searching for magic that could protect the uncle and aunt.

In the other world, there was no concept of bacteria and viruses, so Lin Nan didn't know if the various magics would be effective against this epidemic.

Chen Yao looked at Lin Nan sitting on the bed with her head slightly tilted as she began to space out. His gaze couldn't move away either.

In his view, Lin Nan's face shape was somewhat similar to Saito Asuka's mainly because their face shapes were similarly small and delicate, roughly the so-called palm-sized face. But Lin Nan had a bit more masculine charm added compared to that celebrity, so even though she was beautiful, it instead made men feel she was more approachable. (TN: Japanese actress and idol.)

Between Lin Nan's eyes and brows there was always a faint trace of melancholy, making people unable to control their protective instincts. But then one could feel that protective desire would quickly transform into other indescribable thoughts.

He was afraid he'd accidentally fall into it and quickly looked away. “You seem to space out a lot recently."

"Do I?"

"If you have any thoughts, just say them out loud for discussion. You thinking randomly by yourself is useless."

Lin Nan felt that made sense and moved closer. "Then what magic do you think could resist viruses?"

"...??"

So you were thinking about such chuunibyou stuff.

But looking at that serious little face, Chen Yao still held back his laughter and answered seriously, "Isn't the cleansing spell often mentioned in novels pretty good? The user doesn’t even need to bathe. One magic spell and boom, your whole body is clean."

"But I don't know if it can kill viruses and bacteria..."

Lin Nan sighed worriedly.

"Then make a protective membrane, something like a magic shield. Viruses can't get through that, right?"

"That makes some sense..." Lin Nan recalled magic shield-type magic.

Chen Yao didn't know why he was discussing such chuunibyou topics with Lin Nan, but fortunately he usually read a lot of fantasy novels, so he quickly proposed more ideas. Lin Nan listened and kept nodding.

My thinking by myself really is too limited.

Lin Nan regretted not asking Chen Yao for help before, but at that time she was afraid of being treated like a mental patient. Now... Chen Yao just treated her as a chuunibyou patient.

If using a magic shield, should she choose an eggshell type that surrounds the whole body 360 degrees, or the kind of close-fitting defensive magic similar to armor?

If using cleansing-type magic, Lin Nan already knew purification magic herself. She didn't know if it was effective against viruses, or maybe the kind with stronger cleaning power...

Watching this chuunibyou girl fall into contemplation again, Chen Yao shook his head helplessly, but felt this silly look of hers was quite cute.

He casually pulled the hood of Lin Nan's pajamas over her head, and she instantly became a contemplating catgirl.

His hand mischievously rubbed the cat ears on the hood, then unconsciously moved down and pinched Lin Nan's cheek.

Completely unprepared, Chen Yao was kicked off the bed and lay on the ground groaning.

"Don't get handsy!"

She rubbed her sore cheek, looking dissatisfied. She felt Chen Yao had really been getting more and more presumptuous lately. "Don't pinch my face!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Next time I'll switch to a different place."

"Switching places isn't allowed either! Are you a pervert!"

Lin Nan glared at him, but those fox-like enchanting eyes really had no intimidation value.

She also knew her gaze really wasn't fierce enough. Just seeing Chen Yao's indifferent expression made her unable to help getting angry, so she simply pounced down from the bed, wanting to attack Chen Yao.

The door suddenly opened.

"Do you two want to eat grilled skewers tonight?" The aunt held a few metal skewers, smiling as she poked her head into the room.

Lin Nan, who had just pounced forward a bit, was startled and shuddered. Her body suddenly stiffened, then she fell to the ground unprepared.

It was soft, so it didn't hurt.

She looked up at the aunt and found the aunt's expression had also frozen. She looked down at herself. Beneath her was Chen Yao grimacing in pain, while she was straddling him, half-leaning against his body.

"Sorry to interrupt."

The aunt excitedly closed the door and left.
