Extra: If Xia Yan Became a Girl, 16

To be honest...

If a person can still be optimistic and positive after experiencing a series of events such as family failure, loneliness, financial pressure, hopelessness in love, shattered dreams, and physical changes...

Then this person is either an idiot or a heartless person.

Xia Yan wasn't specifically referring to Hua Xin, his only good friend and confidant, who was speaking ill of him.

Although her experience was similar to his, at least she was relatively wealthy.

This is one of the few pieces of good news that can comfort me.

After becoming a girl, Xia Yan had thought countless times about how she should continue living. Apart from Hua Xin, no one remembered that she used to be a muscular man, an incredibly handsome guy.

Everyone only remembers her as a beautiful girl.

These are not fake.

It is an undeniable fact that she turned into a girl after taking a nap, and at the same time, she did not suffer from schizophrenia or suddenly awaken some long-dormant second personality.

What's done is done, and what can't be changed is unchangeable.

Under these circumstances, Xia Yan also rejected the idea of Zisha jumping off the building.

After all, that hurts a lot.

Besides, she hadn't lived enough. There were so many fun and delicious things in this world. Wouldn't it be too frustrating to die like this?

But living like this in a state of chaos doesn't seem to have much meaning anymore.

The Xia Yan who is still alive in this world is not the same Xia Yan as before. Although from another perspective, Xia Yan is still alive, in reality, Xia Yan is dead.

It sounds a bit convoluted.

But in reality, this is a true reflection of Xia Yan's inner thoughts.

After much thought, even Xia Yan herself seemed somewhat confused about whether she was dead or alive.

During his time lying in Hua Xin's house, Xia Yan wasn't just troubled by his worries or indulging in idle thoughts. Since there was no hope for his own situation, Xia Yan quietly planned to do something to help his only friend, Hua Xin.

Now, only Hua Xin is with her, and another reason is that if she does something good, she might be able to change God's mind and bring her back.

Seeing Hua Xin alive in reality after a long separation was a rare moment of happiness for Xia Yan.

Because someone has been staying at home for several years without going out, going to school, or working, even if they can be contacted, it's only through video sharing software and chat software.

Xia Yan still remembers that when she couldn't contact Hua Xin, she went to his house and knocked on the door frantically, fearing that he had either died suddenly or dropped the purple clay teapot.

However, looking at it now, Hua Xin is actually just a simple homebody and someone with social anxiety.

Ill?

Does one have jade syndrome?

Does having schizophrenia mean you'll die as soon as you step outside?

That's ridiculous!

Thinking about this, Xia Yan felt an urge to punch Hua Xin hard twice.

Aside from eating and sleeping habits being a little more abstract, he's no different from an ordinary person in every other way. He stays home all day playing games and watching anime. When he was banging on his door, he even said some childish things to himself like, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world," and "Lao Xia, you should go back. I'll think about life properly."

Fortunately, I wasn't out of my mind at that moment, otherwise, if I had called the police and opened the door, things would have been much worse.

In summary.

Recalling my life over the past eighteen... no, almost nineteen years, it seems that the only person I can truly call a "friend" is Hua Xin.

In this situation, Hua Xin's unconscious remark, "We used to play together all the time when we were little," made Xia Yan suddenly feel that he should do something for Hua Xin as well.

Hua Xin has been with her all this time.

Although it wasn't particularly obvious, how could Xia Yan not see Hua Xin's various funny and sarcastic remarks, which were all aimed at making him happy?

Well...

But how can we help Hua Xin?

This is a problem.

Unbeknownst to him, he had also caught Hua Xin's otaku syndrome. During this time, he was either eating instant noodles or playing games and lying around. Even when he had a sudden urge to go out, he completely lost interest after Hua Xin's nighttime park incident.

So traveling is clearly not very appealing to either of them.

With less than two months until I start university, it seems like if I don't get a summer job, I'll just have to stay home and lie around.

But Xia Yan had already figured out how to change Hua Xin, or even completely transform him.

[If I turn into a beautiful girl, I'll definitely make you feel good. Let's do it together, bro, don't worry.]

This seemingly joking remark has actually been half-realized in Xia Yan's case.

Because no one can meet the prerequisite of "what if I became a beautiful girl".

As the saying goes, the greatest motivation for a person to change is love. When someone falls in love with another person, they will have the idea of changing their current situation and becoming a better person.

Anyway, I'm already so familiar with Hua Xin that it doesn't seem to matter whether I treat her as my girlfriend or as my brother.

After all, given her current situation, if she had to choose a man to date, aside from the option of remaining single, Xia Yan would still prefer to be with Hua Xin.

Well...

Since things have already come to this bad point, why not let Hua Xin experience what the Tian Tian romance she's been longing for is like?

Only a man can truly understand a man's heart.

As a fellow teenage boy in his adolescence, Xia Yan couldn't say he could fully understand Hua Xin's thoughts, but he could roughly guess that he had also fantasized about things like "suddenly playing a game in Little Black and a beautiful girl falls in love with me."

We were all childhood friends who shared the same pants with Hua Xin, so what's so shameful about us being boyfriend and girlfriend now?

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Yan felt it was quite interesting.

Isn't this a form of cosplay?

Xia Yan didn't expect that just calling her "brother" and saying some suggestive phrases that are common even in anime would almost make Hua Xin faint from a nosebleed. In the end, it was only when the takeout arrived that he was fully recovered.

If we were to hold hands and stroll down the street, watch movies, take photos, or eat out, wouldn't Hua Xin just collapse on the spot?

For the sake of friendship, and also to accumulate merit.

Xia Yan will launch the brilliant plan he devised after thinking about it all night, which is...

Hua Xin Transformation Plan!
