What If Xia Yan Became a Girl, Part 9

To be honest.

In Xia Yan's memory, Hua Xin was not actually the shut-in she is now.

The difference between someone who has lost faith in life and someone who still has the courage to face difficulties with optimism is quite obvious at a glance.

Although Hua Xin was quite weak when she was young, there was always a silly, stubborn quality to her words. Even when she was already miserable and unhappy, Hua Xin would still try to comfort herself.

He now seems to have become an empty shell, a puppet who only stays at home playing computer games and mobile games repeatedly.

Perhaps because they had similar experiences, Xia Yan, who had no friends when she was young, became good friends with Hua Xin.

But after all, not everyone can emerge from the shadows on their own.

In short, seeing his good brother in this state, Xia Yan felt an indescribable sadness.

Thanks to this strange incident that suddenly happened to him, Xia Yan was able to meet and spend a short week with Hua Xin after a long separation. During this time, Xia Yan was only worried and thinking about how to solve his problems.

But they didn't consider Hua Xin's feelings at all.

Thinking about it carefully, it's like a friend I haven't seen in ages suddenly messaging me saying they just woke up and turned from a boy into a girl, and then wanting to come to my house to discuss how to turn back...

Fortunately, she found Hua Xin; if it had been someone else, she probably would have been arrested and thrown into a mental hospital by now.

With a soft sigh, Xia Yan slumped wearily in his chair and idly scrolled through his phone.

The delivery status shows it will arrive in about seven or eight minutes. Finally, I can eat something normal tonight. Hamburgers and fried chicken are definitely more delicious than Thirteen Spices Fried Rice.

But if the food delivery is almost here...

Xia Yan frowned slightly, then immediately straightened up and turned to look at the gate.

She was the only beautiful girl in the room, and all that was left was a tiny bit of fried rice in front of her.

Just now, under her coercion and enticement, Hua Xin finally relented and went out to buy some beer and snacks. But to be precise, she was actually kicked out.

Xia Yan seems to have developed an even stronger homebody tendency than Hua Xin without realizing it, and is unwilling to step out of the door at all.

After all, he'd have to go out in his current female form, so he might as well stay home and stubbornly brainwash himself into believing that nothing had happened to him and that he was still the same tough guy Xia Yan.

Xia Yan covered her face slightly and silently smoothed her long hair that was in the way.

The clock on the wall ticked softly, and the silence of the room made Xia Yan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

I glanced at the time again. Logically speaking, it should only take a few minutes to go back and forth from the convenience store downstairs to my home, right? Why hasn't Lao Hua returned yet, even after almost ten minutes?

I hope nothing bad happened to him outside.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Xia Yan's heart.

Although coercing and cajoling him to go out was intended to slightly alleviate his social anxiety, it couldn't possibly cure his fear and resistance to even going out to buy something, could it?

She still remembered the way Hua Xin looked when she left the house, as if she would die as soon as she stepped out the door.

Frowning, Xia Yan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table with some unease.

"They're all Chinese cabbage, they're all Chinese cabbage, they're all Chinese cabbage..."

"Trees are Chinese cabbage, roads are Chinese cabbage, the sky and houses are all Chinese cabbage, I'm a Chinese cabbage killer..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."

Even though it's nighttime, a person who is covered up in a hood and looks rather furtive would likely be considered a terrorist by those who are wary.

Hua Xin, who hadn't been out of the house for a long time, was surprised to find that it was for a reason that had nothing to do with him: to go out and buy beer and snacks.

He had never drunk beer and had no interest in it whatsoever.

The impressions I see online about drinking are mostly negative news about people getting drunk and acting crazy or engaging in other inappropriate behaviors. When Hua Xin was little, I often saw my "father" who had been drinking a lot smashing things and uttering very offensive words.

All these combined forms of anger made Hua Xin really dislike this kind of thing.

He probably prefers Coca-Cola.

As for snacks, alcohol is even less appealing to him. For Hua Xin, who considers eating instant noodles a luxury comparable to a state banquet, other snacks hold no attraction whatsoever.

The main problem is that I don't have money.

However, this is a different story if Xia Yan is treating.

The hand hidden in his pocket clenched the cash Xia Yan had just given him.

Even if Xia Yan killed him, he would never have come out if it were just a matter of going out. But for the sake of food, Hua Xin was willing to brave the unknown fears of the outside world. As long as she could get through this short journey, she would be able to enjoy a happy feast.

And...

Xia Yan also said she would reward him with something.

Could it be... the game skin he's been eyeing for a long time?

Xia Yan seems to be quite wealthy now; the laptops she brought over are all from the ROG (Republic of Gamers) series. She seems to have changed a lot in the years we haven't seen each other...

However, the biggest change should be that he has changed from a muscular man to a beautiful girl.

Hua Xin paused for a moment, then subtly shifted her footsteps.

An unpleasant thought slowly surfaced in my mind.

The night before last, when he was sleeping next to Xia Yan, he could see her cute sleeping face as soon as he opened his eyes. For a moment, he felt a little strange.

Despite desperately telling myself that this was my good brother Xia Yan, my good brother Xia Yan...

But I still had a terrible bout of insomnia that night, and it took me a long time to fall asleep.

Whenever I close my eyes, all I see in my mind is Xia Yan's current beautiful girl appearance.

This situation was obviously perfectly normal for Hua Xin, since all her psychological problems stemmed from sexual repression. During the time Xia Yan had been staying with her, Hua Xin had no opportunity or time to secretly do bad things and have fun. Occasionally, when she saw female bodhisattva on a video, her heart would race.

It's understandable that one would subconsciously feel a flutter in their heart when facing a beautiful girl right next to them.

However, deep down, Hua Xin still regarded Xia Yan as a brother, even though they were now female brothers.

This is the truth.

As she walked, guided by a faint sense of familiarity from her memory, Hua Xin finally made her way into the convenience store.

Although a long time has passed, it seems that some things have not changed.

He kept his head down, but his voice was still somewhat hoarse as he spoke softly:

"Two Chinese cabbage, uh, and two bottles of beer."

"And some more potato chips, and..."

As if remembering something else, Hua Xin added, "A box of Wang Shouyi Thirteen Spices."
