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

Chapter 260 : Lin Nan's Control Issues

Lin Nan suddenly woke up with a start.

She stared with reddened eyes at the pitch-black room, then wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

Wait, they'd just become a couple yesterday. Why was she already dreaming about breaking up?

And crying like an idiot too.

She turned over and looked at Chen Yao sleeping on the floor. Anxious feelings of gain and loss swirled in her mind, making her emotions increasingly low.

Before, Chen Yao had been her close friend. Back then, although Lin Nan would worry that one day the two of them would separate, she didn't think too much about that kind of separation. After all, there was no such thing as a feast that never ends.

But now, Chen Yao had become her boyfriend... If she'd known, she wouldn't have agreed. It would have been fine to just keep being close friends.

Lin Nan's emotions completely calmed down in the deep night. She was starting to somewhat regret her heat-of-the-moment decision during the day.

She should have asked Chen Yao clearly how he felt about her.

If Chen Yao just wanted to find a relationship during college and was approaching it with a playful attitude, then Lin Nan definitely wouldn't be willing to accept...

Even though she still couldn't accept marrying a man, if it was Chen Yao… it wasn't completely out of the question.

Right, if it was a Platonic marriage without any physical discussion, then Chen Yao would definitely be the best choice.

Lin Nan laughed at her own naivety. Having been male before, she of course knew that hot-blooded men couldn't possibly give up a beauty by their side.

Her laughter woke Chen Yao. He opened his eyes, just in time to meet Lin Nan's gaze. Both of them averted their heads in the next second.

"What time is it?" Chen Yao yawned and picked up the phone by his pillow. "It's only five o'clock. Why aren't you sleeping more?"

"I got scared awake by a nightmare." Lin Nan propped her cheek with one hand, lying on her side as she spoke.

"You have nightmares every day." He stretched lazily and got up, hurrying to the bathroom to relieve himself.

A moment later, he came out of the bathroom to see Lin Nan still staring straight at him, her eyes carrying some anxiety.

He vaguely guessed what Lin Nan's nightmare was about: "About me?"

"Mm."

Lin Nan avoided his gaze, lowering her head to fiddle with her unlocked phone.

Chen Yao sat at the head of the bed. After a series of yawns, he asked again: "I bet it was a dream about me breaking up with you, wasn't it?"

He hit the nail on the head. Lin Nan's eyes were full of surprise.

"I've known you for so long. It would be weird if I couldn't guess." Chen Yao scratched his head. "That's easy to guess. The problem is I can never quite figure out what you're thinking."

Ever since Lin Nan became female, her psychology and thought patterns had changed somewhat, making all of Chen Yao's years of experience getting along with Lin Nan useless.

She propped up her upper body and leaned against the headboard, tilting her head slightly as she asked, "So, will we break up in the future?"

"Why are you thinking about this when we just got together?" Chen Yao muttered. Actually, he felt like his relationship with Lin Nan still seemed to be at a standstill, just with the added title of being a couple. "Anyway, knowing you for so many years, I think if anyone's going to bring up breaking up, it'll be you first."

"Me?"

"Especially when your mentality collapses." Chen Yao suddenly smiled. "I don’t think I’d live the beating from my mom when she finds out."

Lin Nan's eyes lit up. Only then did she think of that aspect with Auntie.

Auntie already treated her like a daughter-in-law. If Chen Yao dared to cause trouble, he'd better be prepared to run away from home.

She immediately felt reassured. Feeling fortunate that she'd somehow been claimed by Auntie, she immediately showed off to Chen Yao triumphantly: "Then you're in for hard times in the future. Uncle and Auntie are on my side! My mom definitely won't side with you either!"

"What uncle and auntie? After we get married in a few years, you'll have to call them Mom and Dad." Chen Yao teased.

Lin Nan immediately shrank her neck back. She was still very resistant to marriage.

Mainly because marriage meant she could no longer avoid physical discussion with Chen Yao. Psychologically, she was still very resistant to that kind of thing.

"Do you want breakfast? I'll go fry you some eggs and bacon to make you a sandwich?" Seeing Lin Nan's expression, Chen Yao knew he couldn't advance to home base anytime soon, so he temporarily abandoned the thoughts all men have and got up to change the subject. "Even though I can't cook, I can definitely fry an egg without problems."

"Then remember to turn on the range hood. Don't use too much oil." Lin Nan instructed.

"Got it." He yawned and left the room.

Lin Nan lay comfortably on the bed. Thinking about how in the future she'd have three people standing behind her while Chen Yao would be isolated and helpless, suffering from bullying, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the future, forget about Chen Yao going to flirt with other girls. Even if he stopped liking her and wanted to break up, it would probably be extremely difficult.

"Anyway, it's your own doing. It's not my problem." She muttered as she got out of bed and sat at the computer, happily deleting all the torrent resources and adult anime from Chen Yao's computer, even cleaning out the browser bookmarks completely.

And his phone too.

Lin Nan picked up Chen Yao's phone that was left on the computer desk, only to discover she didn't have the password or fingerprint for his phone.

Chen Yao happened to come into the room carrying a sandwich, only to see Lin Nan glaring at him with puffed cheeks.

"What did I do now?" He vigilantly took a step back. "Did my breathing offend you?"

"I'm not that unreasonable." Lin Nan handed over Chen Yao's phone. "Register my fingerprint and link our QQ accounts."

Chen Yao had never imagined Lin Nan would have such a strong desire for control. He was stunned for a moment, but still obediently followed her request.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't go through your QQ messages. I'm just linking them because everyone else does it." Lin Nan said guiltily.

She wasn't the kind of pervert who would spy on people's privacy. Right!

"I don't chat with girls anyway." Chen Yao muttered as he operated the phone. "It’s just gaming buddies online. The kind where you can't even tell if they're male or female."

After linking QQ and registering her fingerprint, Lin Nan immediately forgot what she'd said before. Hugging Chen Yao's phone, she launched a comprehensive investigation into all contacts whose usernames were even slightly feminine.

Chen Yao wasn't angry either. He sat smiling to the side watching Lin Nan work, occasionally reminding her: "This one is my mom's QQ. This is my cousin, we play Honor of Kings together sometimes."

"This one I met online, we play Overcooked and Don't Starve together."

Lin Nan looked at him suspiciously.

"The username and profile picture are female, but the voice is male. Probably a pervert." Chen Yao quickly explained.

"I didn't even ask you." Lin Nan pretended not to care as she pursued further: "Then why are you playing Overcooked with a guy?"

"Because you don’t play it?”

Her finger continued scrolling down, checking the recent chat records on Chen Yao's phone, while emphasizing: "Why are you so nervous? I'm just casually looking."

Like hell you believe that!

Although he'd never discovered Lin Nan's possessiveness and desire for control before, Chen Yao wasn't an idiot. He understood what he should say and how he should act at this time.

When Lin Nan scrolled to the bottom of the recent chat records, Chen Yao quickly said: "See, except for my mom and my cousin, they're all guys, right?"

"Mm."

Lin Nan then clicked on chat records with suspiciously female usernames and scrolled through them briefly before finally nodding with satisfaction.
