How long had it really been since she'd left her room?
Hua Xin hugged her arms around herself, pressing close to her stomach as she seriously considered the question.
Aside from the Gaokao exam day two months ago, which she absolutely had to go out for, it seemed like she'd spent the last nearly five years entirely within this small room.
Going out...
As the memory surfaced, Hua Xin shivered uncontrollably.
On Gaokao day, the combination of seeing sunlight after so long and her fear of the outside world had led her to follow her GPS instead of choosing a taxi that would require interaction.
The result was that, in her panic, she'd typed "14th Middle School" into the GPS, but the exam location was actually "4th Middle School." On top of that, she'd been walking with her head down, completely oblivious to what was written on the signs.
She had been just a sliver away from failing.
Fortunately, in the end, she'd scraped by with a score of six hundred, then casually picked a major where she could slack off.
The mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and computer science majors that the big brothers on Tieba had strongly recommended were naturally out of the question.
So, there was only one logical choice.
Business Administration??
Continuing to ponder her current identity, Hua Xin seriously clicked on the League of Legends client, intending to queue up for a happy ARAM match.
Her usual food and daily necessities, even bottled water and takeout, were all purchased online. Clothes, internet fees, water bills, and electricity bills were also paid for online.
The deliveries were all brought to her doorstep by delivery drivers.
She could cook for herself, so she wouldn't starve.
And she'd gotten her ID card this year... which meant... she still had ten years!
Thinking this, Hua Xin's eyes lit up, and she slammed the mouse, emblazoned with the Bullshit King label, onto her mousepad.
She didn't need to worry at all.
She still had ten years before she'd become an undocumented person, and since she never went out, she had absolutely no reason to worry about this issue!
So what if she was undocumented? Heh, as long as she didn't go out, she would never become undocumented.
Hua Xin relaxed and slumped back into her chair. Usually, when she made this movement, the chair would groan under the strain, but today it was surprisingly quiet.
Crisis averted, meow.
The mouse was incredibly sturdy, still smooth as ever, but as she inadvertently moved the cursor, Hua Xin noticed someone in her friend list.
"Just Love Killing Supports" Rank: Apex Master.
Afterward, she looked at her own ID.
"Invincible Cat Fist" Rank: Eternal Diamond.
Hua Xin's lips twitched. Gritting her teeth, she picked up her phone, skillfully opened a chat window, and began her affectionate greeting:
"My son has actually made it to Master? How many hired players did you use to get there?"
"If you don't have the skill, don't pretend. Otherwise, you'll just fall back down once you get there."
"Listen to your daddy, play the game with your own strength, otherwise, what's the difference between that and cheating?"
"Cheating is a monthly thing, don't tell me you...?"
Hua Xin's lips curved slightly as she launched her final offensive.
"????????."
"????."
So satisfying, so satisfying, so satisfying, so satisfying, so satisfying, so satisfying...
Hua Xin suddenly waved her small fists in the air, striking randomly, reveling in the mental victory.
Ten seconds later.
Hua Xin collapsed onto her chair as if utterly spent, a light sheen of sweat appearing on her clean, fair face.
No...
Even though her body was weak from her reversed sleep schedule, constant self-discipline, and perfect diet every day, it shouldn't have deteriorated to this extent, right?
The young girl recalled her actions on the bed just now, along with her extraordinary talent, and instantly connected it to her current pathetic state, then fell silent.
The fact that her "niuniu" had run away was undeniable and irreversible. It was all her fault for mistreating "niuniu" for so many years; actually, she couldn't really blame "niuniu."
Sigh...
Becoming a girl, perhaps it wasn't so bad after all?
Hua Xin suddenly had an epiphany.
Didn't she really enjoy doing pleasurable things? Now there was no cooldown, and the warm-up time had become much shorter. As long as she wanted, she could stay in a state of bliss.
Whether it was male Hua Xin or female Hua Xin, any Hua Xin who could stay at home was a good Hua Xin!
And besides...
Hua Xin tapped the camera icon on her phone and admired her current appearance.
Her skin was pale and cool, her face impossibly smooth and flawless. Her delicate eyelashes, winding and beautiful like vines, were captivating, like a cat's claws scratching at the heart. Her eyebrows were refined, and her eyes were clear and bright...
In short, she was a once-in-a-million-years, peerless beauty. Compared to the influencers on video apps who needed makeup and filters, she was a complete knockout.
However, there was still a six-tenths resemblance between her eyes and features and how Hua Xin looked as a male.
Hua Xin's appearance had always been somewhat androgynous, or rather, feminine. It was just that his height, due to genetics, had been exceptionally tall.
He used to be 1.82 meters.
Now, she was about 1.7 meters? ...
She couldn't imagine what she would look like now if she put on light makeup, wore a revealingly seductive outfit or cosplay costume, and then performed alluring dances with a captivating posture that would make people blush...
Phantom limb syndrome kicked in.
Hua Xin blushed slightly and put down her phone.
She would definitely blow all the influencers out of the water. Was it not a dream that she wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of her life?
But when she thought about the person posing seductively on her phone, being commented on as "hot chick" and "your wife," and that person was now herself, Hua Xin silently rejected the idea in her heart.
She wasn't lacking money anyway. If she ever needed it, she could still fall into disgrace then.
"All in all... becoming a girl isn't so bad!" Hua Xin emerged from the gloom of losing her 'little brother,' her ethereal and melodious voice gaining a hint of confidence.
The problem of being unregistered was solved, and the most important matter was also settled.
"Since I can't change it..."
"Then I'll eat a bowl of instant noodles!?"
Hua Xin happily grabbed a cup from the wall stacked with instant noodles, "Old Tan's Pickled Cabbage..."
"Nice, it's you!"
Humming a little tune, Hua Xin's bare feet, pale pink and showing faint blue veins on the instep, stepped onto the floor. She walked to the kitchen to get water and boil it.
"Buzz buzz."
"Hm?"
Hua Xin, who had just returned to her chair and was waiting for the water to boil, saw her phone light up. Her heart skipped a beat, a mix of fear and excitement.
She was afraid it might be someone in real life messaging her.
She was excited because it might be someone from the internet chatting with her.
Picking up her phone, next to the QQ icon was the six-character note she had given it.
"The Eldest Son on the Internet."
The avatar was a very beautiful white Ragdoll cat.
"It's just like that, a diamond kid who says grapes are sour because they can't eat them."
"Good boy, go play ARAM."
She was furious.
A visible blush spread across Hua Xin's face, her temperature rising.
Warning! Warning!
The girl's fingers flew across the phone screen, her eyes filled with indignant rage.
"Give me your address, I'll fucking kill you, you piece of shit!"
"Don't be a coward, if you're a man, don't be a coward!"
Unexpectedly, Hua Xin fell silent when she saw the next message.
"Magic City, Yongji District, Huafeng Street, Loka Town, Building 3, Unit 401."
"If you're a man, come over."
Not a bro... Hua Xin twitched her lips. You actually gave your address... I didn't actually want to confront you...
The girl sent a middle finger and silently turned off her phone.
One minute later.
Hua Xin, feeling something was off, had a flash of insight in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly slapped her thigh in realization and muttered to herself:
"I'm a girl now."
"I don't have to go."
