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

After singing "Happy Birthday," Xiong Da's mood had clearly improved.

He'd drunk a bottle of beer, and although his face quickly turned red due to his allergy, it was only a mild allergy. As long as he didn't drink too much, it was fine. He would just get red and itchy all over if he did.

Seeing his mood had lifted, Chen Yao finally relaxed, then turned to look at Lin Nan in the corner of the sofa, silently drinking while hugging a beer bottle. Only then did he notice that in just the time of two songs, three empty bottles had appeared on the coffee table in front of Lin Nan.

He was obviously drunk now, sitting straight with his legs pressed together, hugging the beer bottle, but his waist was swaying slightly. His eyes seemed covered with a layer of mist, his head tilted at an angle. He really looked like a cute fool.

Though he was a beautiful and adorable fool.

Xiong Da had also gone to sing. Chen Yao walked straight over and sat beside Lin Nan, without a word directly snatching the beer bottle from Lin Nan's arms.

"What for?" Lin Nan's voice carried a strong nasal tone, and when he glared, that layer of mist in his eyes began rapidly condensing.

Chen Yao panicked instantly, hurriedly stuffing the beer bottle back into Lin Nan's arms, then earnestly persuading: "You can't go on like this, stop drinking. What if you get confused again and forcefully kiss me? Though that feeling was pretty good..."

"It's only the fourth bottle, I could drink lots of rum..." Lin Nan swayed foolishly, then suddenly began taking off his jacket, muttering, "So hot, is there no air conditioning here?!"

Originally, Lin Nan's figure wasn't particularly noticeable in the darkness under his jacket's concealment, but now with the jacket off, his straight posture and the curves and slight swaying of his chest immediately caught Chen Yao's attention.

This waist, this chest... mm.

Although he normally knew about Lin Nan's figure, since the weather had gotten cooler, Lin Nan always wore jackets in the dorm, only taking them off when going to bed and placing them by his pillow. Therefore, even though they spent day and night together, Chen Yao rarely saw such scenes.

Moreover, Lin Nan's flushed face and misty eyes were now full of feminine charm.

Over this past month, Chen Yao thought he'd adapted to Lin Nan's changes, but seeing him today, he realized he still liked beautiful things after all.

Chen Yao's throat felt somewhat dry. He swallowed and unconsciously grabbed a beer bottle to pour a couple sips into his mouth, then alertly looked up to find Xiong Da and Tu Junhui had finished singing. Each holding a microphone, they stood there wiggling their butts while singing, looking like a chaotic dance of demons, completely ignoring this side.

"Put your jacket back on, don't catch a cold." He tried to put the jacket Lin Nan had removed back on his body, but Lin Nan instinctively dodged, then looked up and glared at him.

The glare was charming and coquettish, completely lacking intimidation, and the mist in those eyes began gathering again.

Chen Yao lowered his head and apologized without hesitation: "I was wrong! Can you please stop drinking?"

Although he apologized verbally, Chen Yao felt an extreme headache.

Xiong Da and Tu Junhui seemed not to have noticed Lin Nan's charm yet, immersed in gaming and their own worlds all day. But now Lin Nan was drunk, and this inexplicable charm might attract those two...

Would Xiong Da, who'd just experienced romantic failure, place his emotions on Lin Nan?

Tu Junhui was already a pervert—wouldn't he fall for Lin Nan? I... I just simply want Lin Nan to hide his identity well before this semester ends, yeah, absolutely no other intentions.

"How about you drink some cola?" Chen Yao asked tentatively.

"No!" This crisp, sweet response, plus that nasal tone, was just like a little girlfriend acting coquettish.

Chen Yao's bones nearly went soft.

Lin Nan's voice seemed to be getting closer and closer to a female voice over these past two months. Usually he would deliberately lower his voice, creating a neutral tone to avoid people misunderstanding his gender as much as possible. But now, half-drunk, he'd let go of the restraint on his throat.

Amid the chaotic music, the two singing not far away didn't notice Lin Nan's strangeness. Chen Yao's face darkened, not knowing what to do, only able to keep earnestly persuading.

"If you want to drink, that's fine, but can you eat more food? Drink slower… Hey! Don't down half a bottle in one gulp. How can you not get drunk drinking this fast?"

"No! I'm not drunk." Lin Nan clearly knew what he was doing.

Chen Yao rolled his eyes. If you're not drunk, then am I the one who's drunk?

Just like the last time he got drunk at dinner, Lin Nan now only felt his head was a bit fuzzy and the world seemed somewhat distorted, but his thoughts and ideas were still very clear. Getting drunk to unlock magic while taking advantage of the opportunity.

He seemed to be playing dumb and acting cute and confused, but actually he was still completely capable of controlling his behavior at this level of drunkenness. This was just to unlock magic.

Being drunk would make him feel less ashamed.

Even if he did something abnormal now, Chen Yao wouldn't find it strange.

"Chen Yao, Nan Nan, want to play dice?" Tu Junhui had finished another song and looked over toward Lin Nan, suggesting, "How about truth or dare?"

"Not interested." Seeing Lin Nan was distracted, Chen Yao hurriedly draped the jacket over him again.

But Lin Nan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand in agreement without hesitation.

"It's three against one, Chen Yao."

"Fine, how do we play?" Chen Yao was helpless.

Actually, Lin Nan had never really played truth or dare before, but he suddenly remembered the excuse from when he went to Lina's dorm in women's clothing and met Liu Xuefei the second time.

If he used truth or dare plus the excuse of being drunk, then taking the opportunity to unlock magic wouldn't seem too abrupt.

Although it would still be shameful, at least from an outsider's perspective he'd have sufficient "motive for the crime" and people wouldn't think he genuinely liked whoever he confessed to.

He could get away with it.

Mm, even now Lin Nan hadn't decided who he should confess to face-to-face or forcefully kiss.

Always taking advantage of Chen Yao felt like it would cause big problems in the future.

Tu Junhui excitedly came over, but felt a chill run up his spine, as if being targeted by some evil spirit, and sensed that the next step seemed like hell.

Similarly, Xiong Da was also confused by the inexplicable chill in his heart. He looked up toward the private room door but didn't see it open. Logically, the private room should be extremely warm.

It seemed like he was always feeling inexplicable shivers lately.

He looked around suspiciously but never found anything, so he could only sit down with Tu Junhui.

The four sat in a row. Tu Junhui was big-hearted and quickly forgot the earlier chill, picking up the dice and grabbing an empty fruit plate: "Nan Nan probably hasn't played much, right? Let's keep it simple. We roll two dice, whoever rolls highest wins, lowest loses. The winner can make the loser do truth or dare, and the middle two drink a cup of beer. How's that?"

"Anything is fine?" Lin Nan became interested, his face flushed as he asked excitedly, "Like making Chen Yao do a striptease?"

Tu Junhui nodded without hesitation: "But if it's too difficult or you don't want to do it, you can choose to drink a bottle of beer instead."

Wouldn't that make it no fun at all?

Lin Nan didn't think his luck would be bad enough to always come in last.

Then as he cast his die.

Two.

Lin Nan's face darkened.
