Chapter 330: – Black Cat
Lin Jin really enjoyed the feeling of a harmonious family, especially when he was with his mom and Lin Chen. They both completely treated Lin Jin like a girl and took care of him as if he were one.
It might have been because of her guilt towards Lin Jin, his mom felt that it was her fault Lin Jin had turned out this way, while Lin Chen simply thought Lin Jin was too weak and needed his help and protection.
Although Lin Jin himself didn't think he was weak at all.
Lin Jin loved the feeling of being surrounded by family, but it was unfortunate his dad wasn;t here… Though if his dad was here, this harmonious family scene would definitely not be as peaceful as it was now. His dad was just too much of a troublemaker, always doing something to upset everyone at the most random moments.
That night, Lin Jin and his family went out for Korean barbecue, and then they took the car to a nearby square to relax. Around midnight, when the streets were getting sparser, the family finally headed home.
The weather was cool today. The temperature in Guangdong seemed to be a bit higher than in Xiamen, but it was just right. Wearing a jacket, Lin Jin felt the cool breeze was quite comfortable as he walked along the streets.
After returning home, his mom tiredly washed her face and then went off to her bedroom to rest. Lin Jin was also tired, so he went back to his room and sprawled out on his bed.
"Sister, are you going with mom to see the doctor tomorrow?" Lin Chen, possibly because of Lin Jin's arrival, still wasn't sleepy and had even ran into Lin Jin's room. He sat on the bed and asked, "What kind of doctor is it? The kind that does surgeries?"
"A therapist" Lin Jin casually said. He lazily stretched, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his body.
"A therapist?"
Lin Chen was a bit confused. As a top student, his head was filled with textbooks. Although he occasionally gamed, he didn’t have much time to spend online absorbing extracurricular knowledge. So his understanding of what therapists did was still very basic.
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked Lin Jin: "You got a mental illness?"
Lin Jin rolled his eyes. In Lin Chen's mind, a therapist probably equated to a psychiatrist.
Too lazy to explain anything, Lin Jin stretched out on the bed, twisting his waist and neck, and then looked at Lin Chen and said, "I want to sleep now."
"Okay."
Although Lin Chen didn't know much about things outside of his textbooks, his emotional intelligence was at least that of a normal person. He immediately realized that Lin Jin was politely kicking him out so he hurried out of Lin Jin's bedroom.
Sigh, so tomorrow I’m going to see a therapist...
Lin Jin felt a bit nervous. He knew about therapists and guessed that tomorrow's visit would probably involve some psychological evaluation to see if he identified more as female than male, but these were just his speculations.
After washing up in the small bathroom connected to his bedroom, he laid back down on his bed, turned off the light, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!" An androgynous voice suddenly came from his phone.
"What?" Lin Jin grabbed the phone he placed by the bed and asked the black cat on the screen, "It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping?"
"Cats are nocturnal animals" the black cat stated seriously.
Yeah right. Who was it that said the reason they couldn’t be found at night was because they were sleeping.
"I forgot to tell you. If you ever want to become a woman in advance, just let me know and I’ll issue a task for you. Once you complete it, Tom and I will do our utmost to help with the operation." the black cat spoke earnestly to Lin Jin. "Of course, the weekly tasks will continue until you become a woman."
"I know, you've told me before" Lin Jin rolled over and propped the phone on the bed. "But I don’t plan to be a girl."
"For now, you don’t plan to." the black cat grinned. "If you knew how horrifying the surgeries on your side were, you’d be rushing to me for it."
"Come on, become a twintail and save the world!"
Lin Jin raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he had never really looked into what this type of surgery in hospitals was like.
"And there are risks too. If there’s a major bleeding or infection during the surgery, your family might be devastated" the black cat smiled wickedly, almost like a demon. In some legends, demons indeed took the form of a black cat. It continued, "Besides, don’t you know that the surgeries in your world aren’t perfect? You won’t even be able to have children after surgery."
As if I want to have kids anyway.
Lin Jin was too tired to retort. He actually thought being unable to have children was a good thing. That way, he wouldn’t have to hear his mom say things like, "Since you’re already a girl, you should find a boyfriend, get married, and have kids!"
Besides, he’d heard that childbirth was extremely painful, supposedly dozens of times worse than being kicked in the crotch. Although he hadn't experienced it personally, he’d heard more or less about it from the internet. It was said to be the most painful thing in the world.
He didn't think he could endure that kind of pain.
He felt his psychology was increasingly aligning with that of a typical woman, such as in terms of aesthetics, psychology, and stuff. If he were to become a woman right now, he felt he probably wouldn’t be too opposed, at most he will just hesitate a bit. But Lin Jin really couldn’t accept the fact that women should like men.
Being single forever was great. Being with another woman would hurt the other party’s family while marrying a man would disgust him. It was better to just stay single!
And it’s not like Lin Jin has never experienced being a full woman before. He still vividly remembered the embarrassment of experiencing a high fever that aggravated his period. It was a memory so strong it still haunted him as nightmares.
"Hmm, anyway, I'll wait for you. If you decide to do the surgery on your own, you'd better look into the prerequisites in your world" the black cat shook its head and flopped down on the ground.
"But if you do it for me, how do I explain it to my family?" Lin Jin frowned and rolled over to lie on his stomach. He unconsciously swung his legs back and forth. He cupped his chin in his hands and looked down at the black cat on his phone screen.
The black cat said it was all no big deal. It waved its paw and said to Lin Jin, "Do you think this cat lacks the ability to influence people’s thoughts! You actually asked this cat such a simple question!"
That’s true, if it couldn’t influence people’s thoughts, maybe he wouldn’t have accepted his feminine appearance and mindset.
"Whatever. If I need it, I'll tell you" Lin Jin decided he didn’t want the black cat to stuff a bunch of weird ideas into his head that would keep him up at night. So he directly flipped his phone face down on the bed. "I’m going to sleep."
"Good night! Little Jinjin!"
Motherf*cker! Where did that nickname come from? Gross!
