Chapter 48

Wu Guodong had wanted to keep hiding, but unfortunately, you can’t hide forever. After Lin Nan finished showering, he came knocking again.

"Uncle! Do you have a hair dryer?"

"No."

"Can we buy one?"

He stood up from his computer and opened the door, only to see Lin Nan standing demurely outside with dripping wet hair. His eye twitched, almost failing to register that the person before him was male.

With wet hair clinging to his cheeks, hiding his imperfect face shape, Lin Nan’s face looked just like a real girl’s. Water droplets kept falling from his hair tips, dampening his collar and chest area, making certain things vaguely visible that shouldn’t be.

Wu Guodong froze for a moment when he saw this, but quickly recovered, shifting his gaze downward, trying not to notice Lin Nan’s chest or that overly pretty face.

Was my nephew always this bewitching?

He took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain composure. Fortunately, being an inexperienced virgin himself, he could only tremble nervously in such situations, not daring to think too much.

"I’ll order one for delivery," Wu Guodong said, maintaining a calm expression while taking out his phone, trying to ease the awkwardness with conversation. "My hair isn’t long, so I usually just towel it dry and go to sleep, no need for a hair dryer."

"Sleeping with wet hair will make it messy," Lin Nan stepped back, using the towel to dry his still-dripping hair, trying his best to stop the water from dripping.

He felt a bit timid, having noticed his uncle’s slightly panicked expression. Obviously, the feminization of his body had caught his uncle off guard.

Should I reduce contact with uncle?

He felt a bit nervous, but there was also a sense of pleasure in teasing men - clearly the latter feeling came from Lilith, not himself.

Even if it did come from himself, he would never admit it.

Realizing this, Lin Nan stepped back again and said to Wu Guodong, "I’ll go play games first."

"What do you want for lunch? I’ll order ahead."

"Anything is fine. Dumplings?"

"Sure, I happen to know a dumpling place that’s quite good." Wu Guodong nodded expressionlessly, but his eyes couldn’t help stealing glances at Lin Nan’s chest, again and again. He felt intense guilt, yet also a kind of voyeuristic pleasure that he couldn’t resist.

I should be wondering why my nephew, a man, is growing breasts, not thinking they’re a bit small...

He swallowed, finding his mouth unbearably dry. He had planned to just close the door and hide, but had to take his water cup to the tea table to get water instead.

Hiding like this isn’t a solution.

Wu Guodong thought helplessly, but his eyes kept involuntarily glancing at Lin Nan’s body. Actually, when they were playing games yesterday afternoon, this hadn’t been an issue. Back then, although Lin Nan’s movements and gestures were feminine, that was all he had noticed. But now, he couldn’t help but notice other things he shouldn’t.

"Uncle, does Sekiro’s creator have other games?" Lin Nan had completed half the story in just one day yesterday, with his uncle helping navigate while he handled the bosses. Today, with another afternoon plus staying up late, he’d probably be close to finishing, so he wanted to try a different game.

"Bloodborne and the three Dark Souls games." He sat on the sofa drinking water, watching Lin Nan walk up and bend forward to change the game disc.

His gaze couldn’t help but linger on Lin Nan’s small bottom, tightly outlined by his pants, unavoidably bringing words like "sexy" to mind.

"Are they all about sword fighting?"

"No, they’re quite different, though there’s one late-game boss that has Dark Souls style. You can try it when you get there."

Lin Nan straightened up, unable to suppress several yawns. When he turned around, he saw a hint of disappointment in his uncle’s eyes.

He knew what was going on. After all, he had once been a hot-blooded youth himself, evaluating girls on the street, unable to take his eyes off pretty girls and nice figures. Even now he still did this, though his thoughts had changed from male instinct to "how can she be so pretty?"

But the problem was, do I even have a figure worth looking at?

Lin Nan looked down at his chest. Unless viewed from the side, you could barely see any curves, only faintly making out two points through the shirt’s pattern.

He had chosen this clothing deliberately. In this weather, wearing an outer layer would be strange and draw more attention, but wearing a black shirt with patterns on the chest solved this problem. Unless someone looked very closely, it was hard to notice anything unusual.

He considered himself flat as a board - if his hair were a bit longer and covered his face, people probably couldn’t tell front from back.

After all, he’d only been feminizing for a little over a month. Even with accelerated development, he certainly couldn’t compare to girls his age who had been developing for five or six years or more.

Returning to the sofa, he instinctively sat at the spot furthest from his uncle.

"Still playing games this afternoon?" Lin Nan handed over the controller.

"We could go out if you want, but what would you like to do?" Wu Guodong had passed the age of enjoying going out, preferring to stay home and play games. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "There’s a sports center nearby, and a Yintai Mall... I don’t know much else, there’s not many fun places around."

Lin Nan didn’t really like shopping, mainly because he had no money.

Seeing him frown slightly, Wu Guodong added, "About an hour’s drive away there’s the Jingang Mountain scenic area. You can see the ocean and go hiking. Want to go there?"

"Isn’t there anywhere we can go that’s completely free and won’t tempt me to spend money?" Lin Nan’s small face scrunched up in conflict.

"Just say if you’re short on money."

Lin Nan truly hadn’t meant that. He just felt that even if his uncle had money, he shouldn’t pay for everything when they went out, since he was an adult now.

Then he watched as Wu Guodong looked down, and a moment later his phone vibrated.

Looking at WeChat, there was a 1,000 yuan transfer.

He righteously refused, "Uncle, I’m an adult now!"

"Then why did you accept it so quickly? Give it back?"

"How can you take back what you’ve already given! Besides, my mom hasn’t given me this month’s living expenses yet." Lin Nan happily looked at the transfer record again and again.

"This is your mom’s living expenses to you."

"Nonsense, when she gives me money it’s always by transfer, why would she need you to do it?" Lin Nan looked up at his uncle with delight, finding Wu Guodong increasingly handsome. He unhesitatingly leaned forward, flirtatiously praising, "Uncle, you’re so handsome!"

The compliment was delivered in such a coquettish tone that it made Wu Guodong’s heart bloom with joy.

"Here’s another 500! Don’t waste it, understand!"

"Uncle is the best!"
