Ch. 168
For Chen Yao, Dong Juan was just a small episode in university life, but Lin Nan kept obsessing over that girl.
He didn't know if it was his period making his emotions more sensitive, or if he simply found Dong Juan unpleasant, but either way, he didn't like that girl.
This feeling lasted until evening. Lin Nan had been gloomy all day, constantly thinking about Dong Juan who liked Chen Yao. Her chest's curves would flash through his mind from time to time, making him even angrier.
"You wouldn't happen to be on your period, would you?" Chen Yao hit the nail on the head.
Lin Nan froze, nervously looking around. Seeing that Tu Junhui and Xiong Da had gone downstairs to buy food, he finally relaxed and glared at Chen Yao: "Don't talk about this stuff in the dorm!"
He also felt that all his emotional problems came from his period, not from jealousy toward Dong Juan.
After all, even with makeup, that girl wasn't as pretty as him!
"There's no one here anyway." Chen Yao was very curious about why Lin Nan's emotions were fluctuating so dramatically. When his period came last month, although Lin Nan had groaned in pain constantly, he could still laugh and chat.
But this month, he didn't seem to be in as much pain as before, yet his emotions had become problematic. From noon until now, Lin Nan had been wearing a sour expression, making the whole dorm less lively than usual.
"I think you need to manage your emotions properly." He chose his words carefully, afraid that Lin Nan might develop psychological problems as the advisor had once mentioned. "If you keep getting upset over every little thing, you'll probably break down sooner or later."
Chen Yao was quite concerned about Lin Nan, especially after the advisor's reminder. He noticed that Lin Nan, who had suddenly discovered he was female, must be under tremendous psychological pressure. But over this past month, Lin Nan had seemed to eat heartily and sleep well. When he occasionally got unhappy, he would usually forget about it within half a day.
It was just that today Lin Nan's emotions had suddenly exploded for some unknown reason, and had been so all day.
"Manage emotions?"
Lin Nan was stunned. He also knew that his emotional fluctuations seemed to be getting more and more obvious.
This was because Lilith's personality was merging somewhat with his. Lilith's witch personality was wicked, willful, irritable and quick to anger, while his original personality was peaceful and introverted. When the two combined, naturally his personality also developed in Lilith's direction.
But this hadn't brought him too significant changes, just made him more prone to anger and irritation. Previously this usually manifested when he got furious at being trolled in games, but it didn't really affect him otherwise.
Chen Yao had also done quite a bit of research for his best friend. He cleared his throat, preparing to start the long lecture he had searched for online, but Lin Nan turned his head away, not planning to listen at all.
Those things online of dubious authenticity were too troublesome for him! He had cheats, okay?
So let's put the last magic slot on emotion-managing magic!
Like magic that could quickly calm turbulent emotions in a short time!
Calm: Make fluctuating emotions quickly settle down.
In Lilith's memories, this magic was often used in battle. Fighting in another world actually had things in common with playing games—for example, when you got outplayed, when you got taunted and lost your cool, that's when you needed help from Calm.
Losing a game was just a simple defeat icon, a red score line, but losing a battle in another world meant losing your life. If you lost because you couldn't out-trash-talk your opponent and got so angry you lost your mind, that would be too much of a loss.
The unlock method...
He had only glanced at it once, but discovered that the magic that had been locked suddenly usable? Just like that!
Lin Nan was dumbfounded, blankly looking up at Chen Yao. Chen Yao scratched his head, not knowing what this guy was up to.
He took a deep breath, not knowing why this magic had unlocked, which made him a bit panicked.
After all, Lina had said last time that after unlocking three to five more magics, he would become female. Before today, he had already unlocked two: one was the invisibility magic he unlocked when he was afraid of being violated by Lina and wanted to escape, and the other was the speed reading magic he unlocked a few days ago at KTV for the noble cause of studying hard and improving daily.
Speaking of which, when he first unlocked the transformation magic, it seemed like a similar scenario?
Cross-dressing, then suddenly remembering there was a transformation magic that could turn him into a female, so he glanced at it and unlocked it very smoothly, quite similar to the current scene.
And now...
He carefully looked at this magic's requirements: Being used as a casting tool.
What did that mean?
Lin Nan was completely puzzled.
Chen Yao watched from the side as Lin Nan's face turned red with anger one moment, then white with shock the next, and now he was frowning with a confused expression, not knowing what was happening.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yao asked curiously.
"Mmm..." Lin Nan shook his head. Chen Yao definitely wouldn't understand about magic.
Could it be that because Lina had once used him to experiment with soul magic, this magic was randomly unlocked?
He suddenly understood, but then dejectedly slumped over the desk, his heart full of anxiety.
After unlocking magic three times, he might become female, and this third time, he had somehow unlocked it inexplicably... He wouldn't completely transform into a girl in the dorm, would he?
Becoming a girl should just mean losing his little Lin Nan, right? His body probably wouldn't change too dramatically, right?
If after becoming a girl, his body also suddenly developed to what an eighteen-year-old should have, such drastic changes might be noticed by his roommates, and he might never be able to hide it again, right?
Lin Nan suddenly felt a chill, then quickly looked up and asked: "Besides sneaking out to rent an apartment, is there any other way?"
According to school regulations, students weren't allowed to live off-campus before senior year, unless your family lived within a thousand meters of the school and you brought a property deed to register.
Chen Yao was stunned, not knowing why Lin Nan suddenly so urgently wanted to move out. He frowned and asked uncertainly: "If Advisor Zheng agrees, you should be able to move out, right?"
"But Advisor Zheng is pretty upright. I heard a student tried to give him gifts to get permission to live out, but was refused."
So he would really have to be a girl hidden in the boys' dorm in the future?
Although his roommates currently seemed quite friendly and no one appeared to lust after his body, you never really knew people's hearts. Aside from Chen Yao, Tu Junhui and Xiong Da had only known him for a year after all.
Moreover, what about the other dorms? What if?
He took a deep breath, originally thinking that if he became a girl he would risk getting demerits and move out to rent a place, but suddenly remembered the instigator of this whole series of events.
Magic!
I still have Charm Magic!
Like clouds parting to reveal the sun, after suddenly remembering this useless magic, Lin Nan's heart that had just been fearful about prematurely becoming a girl settled down somewhat.
Although charming men was indeed quite shameful, this was also for his personal safety!
He quickly convinced himself, even feeling some inexplicable anticipation in his heart.
Lilith, stop influencing me with weird emotions!
