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

Chapter 285 : Interested in Starting a Harem?

Lin Nan was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do, completely at a loss for how to respond to Tu Junhui.

"Sister-in-law, come in. What's there to be nervous about?"

Tu Junhui was enthusiastically warm, but even though Lin Nan wore a mask, he noticed her reddened face.

He smiled teasingly. "Sister-in-law is quite shy."

"I told you to call her sister-in-law. I'm two months older than you." Chen Yao sat in his chair, looking at Lin Nan, encouraging her with his eyes.

But facing her familiar roommate, Lin Nan still nervously retreated a step, awkwardly keeping her head down, not knowing what to do.

"Nan Nan, come in." Chen Yao sighed deeply, knowing Lin Nan needed his help.

"Nan Nan? Your girlfriend's name also has 'Nan' in it?" Tu Junhui still had no idea. Lin Nan was also wearing a mask, and her hair had grown much longer since the break, leaving him completely unable to recognize that this pretty girl was his former roommate. "Wait, didn't Lin Nan come with you? Aren't you two from the same hometown?"

"Mm." Chen Yao sighed deeply, walked forward, and grabbed Lin Nan's hand.

Lin Nan's body trembled. She looked at Chen Yao with pleading eyes, shaking her head forcefully several times.

She once again wanted to choose to escape.

Chen Yao smiled bitterly, leaned close to Lin Nan's ear, and asked quietly, "How long do you think you can hide it?"

"I don't know..."

"I'll tell them. You just sit there."

She hesitated, and only after a long while did she nod her head hesitantly.

Tu Junhui stood inside the dorm still a bit confused, not understanding what the two were whispering about. Still thinking the girl in front of him was just shy, he laughed and joked self-deprecatingly. "Don't let my slightly fat, slightly fierce appearance fool you. I'm actually a good student. Don't be so nervous, like you're entering a den of thieves."

Lin Nan was led by the hand into this familiar dorm.

Last semester when she returned to this dorm, she was happier than going home. This little room she'd lived in for a year and a half carried so many of Lin Nan's memories.

But now, her shoulders trembled with fear.

She didn't dare reveal the truth to her roommates. This fear was even greater than when she'd told relatives and friends.

After all, most of those relatives she only saw once a year, and emotional ties weren't deep. No matter how much they rejected or disliked her, Lin Nan could choose not to see them. But these two roommates were her most important friends so far.

Not quite best friends, but from the beginning of university until now, Lin Nan had spent more time living with them than with anyone else.

Tu Junhui didn't understand why the girl before him would be afraid to this degree. He walked to the mirror to look at himself. Although after a long winter break he'd gotten fat to two hundred and twenty pounds with a face full of fat, his foundation was still there. No matter how you looked, he didn't seem like a vicious person. Why would Chen Yao's girlfriend be afraid to this extent?

Xiong Da finally finished wiping his figurines and walked into the dorm from the back door, placing the figurines on the bookshelf before curiously looking at Lin Nan.

He felt Chen Yao's girlfriend looked familiar no matter how he looked, even though this girl was still wearing a mask with her head down.

"So should I tell them?" Chen Yao bent down and asked quietly to Lin Nan, who was sitting in his spot.

"Maybe forget it..."

Lin Nan hesitated, but proactively took off her mask. "If they can recognize me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tu Junhui had already noticed the familiar face under the mask and blurted out, "Holy crap? Lin Nan!"

"Lin Nan?" Xiong Da also couldn't maintain his iceberg-like face, looking completely astonished.

Lin Nan had never thought that her current appearance and dress would still be instantly recognized.

Tu Junhui directly came over, his eyes full of surprise and delight, circling around Lin Nan again and again. Finally, he punched Chen Yao's wardrobe with his fist and exclaimed, "Lin Nan, you've finally come around to crossdressing!"

"Pretty good-looking..." Xiong Da tried hard to keep a straight face to maintain his aloof persona.

The two of them didn't feel any rejection because of Lin Nan's crossdressing. Especially Tu Junhui, who was rather pleasantly surprised. "I always knew if you crossdressed, Nan Nan, you'd be unbeatable. What crossdressing streamer online could compare to you!"

"Mm." Lin Nan kept her head down. She'd originally planned to explain if recognized, and if not recognized, just pretend it never happened.

But she really hadn't expected her roommates would have this kind of reaction.

However, before she could feel relieved for long, Tu Junhui suddenly asked in confusion, "Then why did Chen Yao say you're his girlfriend?"

Lin Nan's face immediately flushed red. She looked up and glared at Chen Yao with her eyes, saying without hesitation, "He's bragging!"

Chen Yao was about to explain but was blocked by Lin Nan's words.

He'd originally thought this was fine, but suddenly realized that according to Lin Nan's personality, if they didn't speak openly here, in the future even dating would have to be done sneakily.

Tu Junhui had a sudden realization. "I knew Chen Yao wouldn't be the first to betray us."

"He'll definitely be the last one." Xiong Da chimed in.

"By the time we two get married, Chen Yao will probably still be a single dog."

"We'll probably have to go burn Left 4 Dead 3 for Chen Yao in the future." Xiong Da agreed.

Chen Yao sighed deeply, forcefully interrupted the two, straightened his back, and declared confidently, "Stop the chatter! Lin Nan is my girlfriend now!"

The dorm instantly fell silent.

Lin Nan embarrassedly stomped hard on Chen Yao's foot, wanting to get up and run away in shame, but was pressed down by Chen Yao's hand on her shoulder, unable to escape from her seat.

Tu Junhui and Xiong Da looked at each other. The two made eye contact for a moment, then almost simultaneously looked at Chen Yao and Lin Nan across from them.

The two were stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Chen Yao felt he couldn't let them continue wild speculation, so he simply continued, "Lin Nan is female. I just struck first."

"???"

Several question marks seemed to appear above their heads.

Lin Nan kept her head lowered, her brain so overheated she almost lost the ability to think.

But just as Chen Yao had said, unless she was going to disappear, this kind of thing would have to be said sooner or later.

She didn't have the courage, but Chen Yao was thick-skinned. Letting him speak was actually pretty good. At least it cut through the mess quickly.

After a long while, Tu Junhui somewhat stuttered to himself, "No wonder Nan Nan is so pretty. It's not without reason..."

"Then how did Lin Nan live in the boys' dorm?" Xiong Da was the first to raise a question.

Chen Yao walked to Xiong Da's computer, searched online for "female pseudohermaphroditism," then pointed at the computer screen. "It's for this reason."

The two brought their confusion to looking at the online content. After looking for a long time, they finally understood.

"So Lin Nan was originally female?" Xiong Da nodded.

"I thought you two were gay." Tu Junhui scratched his head. "How did such a good thing just pass me by?"

He was originally a joker. He quickly overcame his confusion and instead excitedly asked Lin Nan, "Interested in starting a harem? I'll be the first to sign up!"

"Get lost!"

Chen Yao kicked him.
