Chapter 327: – Welcome
Around 2:30 in the afternoon, Lin Jin finally arrived at the station in Guangdong.
Following the crowd, Lin Jin looked around as he walked out of the station. Soon, he spotted his mom among the people at the exit.
"Mom." He carried his bag and walked up to his mom, who was still standing on her tiptoes looking around. With a sweet smile, he asked "It can’t be that you don’t recognize your own son, right?"
His mother dumbfoundedly stared at the girl in front of her. This girl was even prettier than she was when she was younger. And she was dressed so fashionably. Looking both youthful and vibrant, completely like a college beauty of this new era.
The key point was a big chest and big butt, clearly good for having children. If Lin Chen married this girl, they would definitely have a chubby little boy.
But the question was, why was this girl calling her mom?
Mom was really confused and didn’t know what to do for a while.
"Mom?" Lin Jin had no idea what his mom was thinking. He just assumed she was spacing out because she didn’t recognize him. He reached out to gently push her shoulder and said again, "It's me, Lin Jin. We’ve just been apart for a bit over a month and you can’t recognize me?"
"Lin Jin?" Mom finally came to her senses. Still full of doubt, she reached out to touch Lin Jin's face and closely examined his features. After a moment, she confirmed that this girl's facial features were exactly the same as her son Lin Jin's.
How did Lin Jin become so pretty in such a short time?
Then Mom's gaze fell on Lin Jin's chest, which was clearly visible in his short sleeves. She looked at Lin Jin's eyes with undisguised confusion.
"I grew breasts" Lin Jin said nonchalantly.
His mom furrowed her brows, which made Lin Jin nervous for a moment. But after just a few seconds, her brows relaxed again and she smiled at Lin Jin, "Girls change eighteen times as they grow up. My daughter is so pretty now that even her moher didn't recognize her."
Daughter?
Lin Jin felt overjoyed. He knew that his mom's comment basically meant she accepted his current appearance, and even approved of him becoming a woman in the future.
"Let's go. I drove here, so we'll head straight home. We'll see the doctor tomorrow."
Following his mom's steps, Lin Jin arrived at the parking lot of the train station and got into a half new looking Santana with her. Then the car started and headed towards the place where his mom and Lin Chen now lived.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Jin curiously fiddled with the decorations in the car. This was his first time sitting in his own family’s car. Even though the car was only half new and didn't look very fancy, he couldn't stop looking around.
His mother’s driving was like Teacher Lin’s reckless behavior. She drove slowly and very steadily. She sat upright in the driver's seat, eyes fixed straight ahead, and kept asking, "How's your dad been lately? He didn't start gambling again as soon as I left, did he?"
"He probably hasn't, I haven't noticed anything." Lin Jin replied with a somewhat uncertain tone, "He's the kind of person who might be easily swayed by his friends to gamble again at any time."
Mom nodded, not very convinced but didn’t comment much on dad’s character. She just continued asking, "And how’s your studies? How's your schoolwork going? You’re not skipping classes every day, are you?"
"Um, I go to class every day, and I ask for leave if I have something to do."
It’s just that I don’t do homework, that’s all.
Lin Jin silently added. Having satisfied his curiosity about the decorations in the car, he lowered his head and took out his phone to read a novel to pass the time on the road.
"You’ve become so beautiful now, are you still living in the dormitory?" Mom asked again.
Lin Jin glanced at his mom and noticed she still didn’t turn her head, her eyes looking straight ahead. He also noticed that she had changed from high heels to slippers after getting in the car. It was clear that her driving habits were more than a bit better than Teacher Lin’s..
"I'm living off campus now. Five hundred a month, not too expensive." Lin Jin continued, "My former roommates still occasionally visit me at the rental apartment, like bringing me some food and coming to hang out and stuff. It's pretty nice."
Mom nodded approvingly, "What's the rental like? Five hundred yuan can’t be that big, right?"
"A bedroom, a bathroom, and a small balcony. It’s decent. It’s in a quiet little alley. It’s small but enough for me." Lin Jin tried to describe the rental place as positively as possible, "I also made a friend there. He won’t laugh even smile twice a day, like an iceberg."
"No kitchen? You eat out every day?" Mom wanted to know as much as possible about Lin Jin. She and Lin Jin hadn’t seen each other in almost ten years and the month they spent together made her eager to understand how her son had turned out this way after being away from her. "The food outside is too greasy. If you can, it’s better to cook yourself. By the way, do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lin Jin's face immediately darkened. After a moment of consideration, he lowered his head and, somewhat shyly, said, "No... but a few gay guys keep trying to chase me..."
"You're so pretty now, they probably see you as a girl and that's why they're chasing you" Mom precisely revealed the thoughts of Liu Shengqi, who had been fervently pursuing Lin Jin.
"Maybe. I don’t plan on finding anyone yet. So far, I've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend..."
It seemed that her son wasn't seeking to become a woman because of romantic frustrations.
So, was it because she always wanted a daughter and dressed Lin Jin as a girl when he was younger?
His mom had once consulted a therapist about Lin Jin's issues. The therapist had explained that either Lin Jin naturally had a gender identity disorder, or being treated as a girl from a young age had shaped his psychology towards that of a girl, or he had experienced significant psychological trauma.
The former was nearly impossible to change, and the best solution would be to give him a girl's body. The latter two, however, had a chance for remedy, with surgery being a last resort if there was no other way.
Seeing his mom deep in thought and silent, Lin Jin also had no intention of speaking. He turned to look at the bustling scene outside the window and sighed lightly.
He wasn't sure if this trip to Guangdong was a good or bad thing. He had quite a bit of fun the last time he came, but then he got a severe beating from his dad when he returned, which overall made it a bad experience. But what about this time?
About half an hour later, the car drove into a slightly run down community.
This community seemed to be at least ten years old, with stained tile walls on the buildings. There were about five or six buildings in total in the community. However, the greenery was quite nice. There was a small garden in the community where several elderly people were sitting around a round table. There were also some kids who weren't in school running around. It was quite lively.
The car slowly drove into the community's parking shed. Lin Jin hurriedly got out of the car and took a deep breath. When he looked up, he saw Lin Chen smiling at him while holding a schoolbag.
"Brother, welcome."
