"Brother—!!" Su Lin Yue called out anxiously, but received no response.

"Please don't let anything happen... please don't..."

Su Lin Yue's hands were trembling as she grabbed the doorknob and twisted it hard.

Click. The door opened.

Su Li's bad habit of not locking the door when using the restroom, surprisingly, became a lifesaver at this moment.

Su Lin Yue saw Su Li lying on the floor tiles.

He was lying there stiffly, pants awkwardly halfway down, curled up into a ball. His skin was a strange, flushed red, like a boiled prawn.

"Brother!" Su Lin Yue didn't care about propriety anymore, screaming as she rushed over.

"Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare me! Wake up!"

She reached out to pat Su Li's face but flinched back from the heat.

So hot!

This wasn't human body temperature at all; it was like a red-hot iron!

"Wuwuwu... Big liar! You said you were fine... you said you were healthy..."

Tears instantly welled up in Su Lin Yue's eyes, falling like broken strings of pearls.

A crystal tear slid down Su Lin Yue's cheek and landed on Su Li's burning forehead.

Hiss-- A horrifying scene unfolded.

The moment the tear touched Su Li's skin, it made a faint boiling sound and instantly evaporated into a wisp of white smoke!

"?!"

Su Lin Yue's eyes widened in terror, her cry caught in her throat.

What was happening? Was this still a person?

However, before her brain could process this supernatural phenomenon, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to an even more shocking sight.

She saw her good brother, Xiao Su, gradually disappearing...

Then, Xiao Su transformed into Xiao Li?!

"???" Su Lin Yue's brain completely crashed.

Hallucinations? It must be hallucinations!

I must be too worried about my brother, that my mind is playing tricks on me!

She rubbed her eyes hard and looked again.

He hadn't changed back; in fact, the transformation was continuing to spread upwards.

Su Li's muscles, which had had some definition, were rapidly reorganizing under the effect of the high temperature.

His broad shoulders narrowed slightly, becoming more rounded.

His flat, firm chest, though not puffing up like a balloon, now had a slight curve.

His height seemed to have shrunk a little, but not too much yet.

His already fair skin was now so delicate it looked like it could be squeezed for water.

Most bizarrely, his hair, that neat short cut, was now like a magically enchanted vine, growing at a visible rate.

Black as a waterfall, it quickly spread past his ears, his shoulders, and finally spilled onto the white porcelain tiles.

His facial features hadn't changed drastically, but the heroic spirit in his eyes had softened, his nose became more upturned, and his lips turned red and full.

If the previous Su Li was a somewhat handsome young man, then the current him was practically a beautiful young woman!

In just a few minutes, a complete transformation had occurred right before Su Lin Yue's eyes.

As the last strand of black hair stopped growing, the pained, twisted expression on Su Li's face disappeared, replaced by an infant-like serenity.

Silence returned to the bathroom.

Only Su Lin Yue knelt on the floor like a statue, her mouth slightly open, her eyes vacant.

"This... this..." She tremblingly reached out a hand, wanting to confirm, but stopped mid-air.

A surreal development! An absolutely surreal development!

"My brother is gone?"

"Turned into a sister?"

Su Lin Yue felt her worldview shatter into a million pieces.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

No matter what she had become, the person lying on the floor was still Su Li, her only family.

"Let's get him out of here first," Su Lin Yue gritted her teeth, trying to lift Su Li from the floor.

The first feeling was lightness, it really felt lighter.

The man who used to be 140-150 jin, now felt at most a little over 100 jin in her arms. His body was soft and carried a pleasant, light fragrance.

But even so, for Su Lin Yue, a young girl still in high school, moving a comatose adult to the bedroom was still a huge undertaking.

"Ugh... lift...!"

Su Lin Yue's face turned red as she used all her strength.

"Su Li! You lazy pig!"

"When you wake up, if you don't buy me a year's worth of snacks, this isn't over!"

Su Lin Yue panted heavily, mentally complaining to herself to alleviate her inner panic.

Meanwhile, Su Li, with his eyes closed the entire time, slept soundly.

Finally.

"Huff... huff..." Su Lin Yue collapsed on the edge of the bed, panting heavily without any regard for her image.

Su Li on the bed had been settled by her, but...

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

She felt like a soulless puppet, mechanically getting up and rummaging through the closet.

She definitely couldn't wear men's clothes. She hesitated for a moment, then took out a long t-shirt from her own closet that she had always felt was too big and never worn, along with a spare set of underwear.

"What is this all about..."

Su Lin Yue wiped Su Li's body while dressing him.

"His skin is even better than mine... His waist is thinner than mine..."

"Why are his legs so long? Why didn't he shrink?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, her brother, who had turned into a girl, had a perfect body proportion that made her, the actual girl, a little jealous.

After getting dressed, Su Lin Yue pulled the quilt over Su Li and sat blankly by the bed.

Su Lin Yue propped her chin in her hands, her gaze focused on Su Li's sleeping profile.

His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids, and his breathing was steady and deep. If one ignored the fact that his Adam's apple had disappeared, everything seemed relatively normal.

"Bro..." Su Lin Yue subconsciously called out, then gave a wry smile and shook her head.

"Should I call you 'sis' now?"

What would happen in the future? When he woke up and found his proud brother gone, replaced by a girl, would he completely break down?

Could he still accept herself? How would people around them react? How would the household registration be changed?

Countless practical problems flooded Su Lin Yue's mind like a tide, making her feel a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion.

She began to recall every little detail from childhood to adulthood.

The brother who would bring her an umbrella on rainy days, the brother who would rush to fight when someone bullied her, the brother who would eat instant noodles to save money to buy her gifts...

The figures in her memories were all that tall, broad back.

And now...

"No matter what you've become, you're still Su Li, right?"

Su Lin Yue reached out and gently held Su Li's hand, which was resting outside the quilt.

That hand was now slender and long, no longer broad and strong, but the warmth in the palm was still familiar.

Just then.

"Ying..." a sweet, soft groan came from the bed.

(Finally passed after deleting so much! Rem)
