Chapter 371: – Water
Becoming a man again, even if it was just for a day, Lin Jin still found it a bit hard to adapt to.
His appearance didn't change much except for that extra thing on his body. But when lying on the bed, that thing made his lower body feel weird.
Of course, lying down also meant his chest would get squished, but Lin Jin usually put a pillow or something under his shoulders to avoid that uncomfortable feeling.
But turning into a man really did feel weird.
At around evening, Lin Jin finally felt his body had recovered. He wanted to go out for some food, but ran into a problem when choosing clothes.
So, should he wear men's clothes or women's clothes now?
Well, it didn’t seem there was anything to really worry about. After all, with how beautiful he was, anything he wore would look like women’s clothes anyway.
He casually opened the closet, put on shorts and a short sleeved men's shirt and tied his hair into a ponytail. Lin Jin grabbed his wallet and phone and hopped downstairs.
Life without periods was so comfortable!
No more stomach aches, no more sore waist and his feet had strength again. When going downstairs, he didn’t have to slowly go down step by step like yesterday. He was full of energy when walking. This spirited feeling made Lin Jin never want to have another period in his life.
Just, he was so hungry it felt like his stomach was on fire…
He hadn't eaten all day, so even though Lin Jin was very energetic, he still felt a bit weak. The comfort he mentioned earlier was only in comparison to the period’s epic level debuff.
Walking out of the community area, looking left and right, Lin Lin headed to a nearby Northwestern noodle shop without much thought. This noodle shop was actually just a Lanzhou noodle shop, just with a different name. There were two owners, but their service was lousy. They lounged around in the shop, barely reacting when Lin Jin walked in. They just asked once what he wanted to eat, then one of them went to go make the noodles while the other continued playing Honor of Kings.
That game was really popular right now.
Listening to the mobile game’s sounds, Lin Jin boredly found a seat to sit at. He took out his phone and propped up his leg to find a novel to read in his boredom, but found the game noises from one of the owners too distracting.
He wasn’t willing to eat at this place either, but the other nearby fast food places weren’t open until dinner time. The ones that were open were all either burgers or noodles. He ended up choosing this one because the storefront looked decent.
The result was that he encountered an owner who didn’t even let him eat in peace.
Lin Jin was a bit annoyed with the owner of this store, but thought for a bit and felt that he shouldn’t say anything even if he was annoyed. Otherwise if the other side secretly spat in the noodles when bringing it out… Yeah. Although he doubted the chef's professional ethics were that bad, he was still worried about it.
This noodle shop/s noodles barely had any meat in it, but it was still better when compared to the Northwestern noodle shop in the school. At the noodle shop in school, the meat was so thin you had to appreciate the chef’s knife skills and there weren’t even many pieces. While here, the meat was in small pieces. Although it looked little, it was quite satisfying to eat, at least having a meaty flavor.
After eating, Lin Jin started thinking about where he should go to have fun.He had taken three days off from his evening part time job because of the period, so he didn’t need to go work today and tomorrow. As a result, he had no idea how to spend this time, which was originally meant for his part time job.
How about going to the dormitory to have a look?
Lin Jin sighed and suddenly remembered the Braised Pork he had forgotten about. Because his mom came, Braised Pork had, for a long time, been taken care of by his mother. So although Lin Jin would encounter it every day, it resulted in him almost forgetting he still had a cat.
Today and yesterday, it seems like he hadn’t fed the cat anything yet, right?
Lin Jin frowned, trying to remember. Thinking of how Braised Pork was getting more and more chubby like a certain orange cat, he figured it wouldn’t be a problem even if he forgot to feed it for two days.
Anyways, that cat definitely stashed some food somewhere. Otherwise, if he forgot to feed it, the cat would have started making a fuss long ago.
He paid the bill and leisurely walked down the street. Even though the back gate of the school was sealed, many students could still be seen on the streets. He yawned and felt sleepy for no reason, even though he still had a decent amount of energy. He had slept for most of the day, even though he was in a half awake state, but he felt he shouldn’t be feeling sleepy now.
It wasn't even 4 in the evening yet.
In the summer, the 4 pm sun was still strong. After randomly wandering a few hundred meters, Lin Jin’s head was already covered in sweat.
It seemed that because of his poor physical fitness, just a bit of sun would make Lin Jin sweat a lot, with his bangs constantly dripping with sweat. But look at those Wu Min and Wen Xuan guys, they could walk under the sun for ten minutes without breaking a sweat.
If it were like this when he delivered food in the past, then he would have been drenched after just one delivery.
Randomly walking around, he arrived at the school’s front gate, looking at the private cars at the front of the school and the large number of students waiting for their rides.
He walked into the school. He didn’t walk for long before he unexpectedly ran into someone he knew.
It was a senior sister he had occasionally seen last semester but hadn’t seen at all this semester.
"Yo, hello senior sis!" Maybe it was because he was a man again, Lin Jin felt his tone had a bit of a flirtatious feel.
"Hi." The senior looked at Lin Jin with a puzzled expression, completely confused and not recognizing who the girl in front of her was at all.
This senior sister was the one he met last semester, Lin Ruiqiu. In the beginning, there was a task that was basically about flirting with her, but it ended in a disaster because of Lin Jin.
Not being recognized didn’t bother Lin Jin. He helplessly shrugged and walked by the senior.
He decided to go back to the dormitory and take a look. He hadn’t been back in a long time and suddenly wanted to see how Wu Min and Wen Xuan were living without him.
When he got to the dorm, he quietly pushed the door open and peeked inside, only to find that the two salted fish were actually still gaming like before.
“You’re back?” Wu Min noticed the noise, turned around, and said with a smile. “Ever since you moved out, it seems like you haven’t been back, right?”
“Yeah, I came back to see if my spot was turned into a mess by you guys.” Lin Jin walked to his bed and glanced at his desk, only to find that it was actually spotless. The straw mat on his bed was even rolled up, and those books were neatly stacked on the desk.
Opening the cabinet, the clothes Lin Jin previously left behind were also neatly folded, inside was also a strong mothball smell. It was clear that Wu Min or Wen Xuan had been taking good care of his spot.
“I thought after I’m gone, the dorm would be a garbage dump" Lin Jin glanced at Wen Xuan, who was still engrossed in his single player game. “Back then, I was basically the only one who would clean, you guys were lazy to death.”
Wu Min saw that Lin Jin was back and put down his game. He walked up and leaned against the cabinet with his arms crossed, looking at Lin Jin and asked: “Why did you run back today?”
“Because I was idle.” Lin Jin shrugged. He really had run over because he had nothing else to do.
Luckily, even though the dorm entrance had a sign saying girls were not allowed to enter, as they didn’t bump into the dorm manager, it was basically not enforced. Otherwise, Lin Jin might not have even gotten in.
