Unexpected Revelations

“We’ve arrived.”

“I know.”

We found ourselves unknowingly standing before the orphanage entrance. The journey had been filled with stories about Grandma’s past, and I couldn’t help but wonder what she would think if she heard them.

Of course, she would!

I was thrilled, smiling from ear to ear, feeling great!

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell Grandma about you!”

Standing before the slightly rusted iron gate, she looked around, as if remembering something. She turned to me and asked,

“By the way, this orphanage doesn’t have any orphans left, right?”

“Yes, but that’s a good thing. Fewer orphans in the world is better, even if it means the orphanage has been closed for almost half a year now…”

Looking at the now dilapidated orphanage, I felt a twinge of sadness. This was where I grew up. In fact, I had only moved out a week ago, while Grandma stayed to sort out some things, planning to move in with me today. But something unexpected happened, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it.

“Well, before the orphanage closed, everyone found a new home. That’s a great thing.”

I gently touched the rust on the gate, smiling as I sent my blessings to the other families.

Right now, they must be living happily somewhere.

“I never knew you could be so gentle. Even though she gave you a name that’s neither high nor low, she must have taught you well.”

“Of course she did,” I replied proudly. My Grandma was an amazing teacher, and everyone at the orphanage thought so too.

“Ah!” I exclaimed, remembering something important.

“What’s wrong?”

I made a troubled expression:

“Actually, I’m not sure if Grandma is inside. If you’re a friend of hers, you might have her number. Why don’t you call her?”

Even though I had heard something like an egg cracking in the background during our previous call, I couldn’t be sure if Grandma was inside, especially since I had been blocked by her. So, I had to ask.

“Hmm? Don’t you have a phone?”

I felt a hint of hesitation, like she was thinking, “I don’t have much phone credit left.”

“…”

I thought about how to respond, not wanting to reveal the truth.

“Uh… well… because of some reasons I can’t really explain, I’ve been blocked by Grandma…”

“Oh?”

There was a hint of mischief in that “Oh?”. What was she thinking?

“Like, you met a boyfriend outside and she found out?”

“How could that be! Don’t say such things!” I shouted, blushing.

I was being teased! How annoying! I just knew that “Oh?” would lead to trouble!

I glared at her, and she had a “I get it, I get it” look on her face. Ugh, so annoying! Just wait, I’ll tell Grandma all about your crimes, and you’ll be executed without a trial!

“Nn-nn-” I made a sound like a cat warning off an enemy, expressing my discontent.

“Oh? Angry? Ha ha, just kidding!”

“…”

I didn’t find that joke funny at all…

“And relax, your Grandma is inside. I can sense it.”

“Huh?”

What was she talking about, sensing it?

“Anyway, she’s inside. Don’t worry.”

With that, she opened the gate and went in, and I had no choice but to follow.

We walked across a small lawn with a swing set and other play equipment, and she led me into one of the buildings.

This orphanage was actually quite large, with three main buildings. The one we entered had three floors. The first floor had the kitchen and dining hall, the second floor had the dormitories for the children and staff, and the third floor was like an office, where Grandma often stayed. I had even been scolded for bringing other kids up to the third floor to play.

Remembering all of this, we now walked down the third-floor hallway.

“Hey, you’re not tricking me, are you?”

I half-believed, half-doubted her “sensing” abilities, asking again.

“Just trust me, okay?”

She replied confidently, but I had no idea where her confidence came from.

“AHHHH!”

“Grandma?!”

A scream came from a room behind us, and it sounded like Grandma. What happened? I started to feel uneasy.

I judged the sound to be coming from a certain room, turned around, and prepared to run over.

“Wait!”

She grabbed my left arm, not letting me go.

“What are you doing?!” I glared at her.

“It’s okay, she just got her hand caught in the window. She’s fine.”

“…”

What was she talking about? Let me go!

“Don’t joke around! What if something happened?”

“Tsk, this window, it just won’t listen, my hand hurts…”

“What should I do…”

My words were interrupted by an unexpected voice from Grandma…

“See? I told you so.”

She gave me a smile, but I felt a chill.

She was telling the truth…

What was going on? Was it some kind of superpower?

I remembered her mysterious injury also healing for no reason, and it was a bit scary to think about…

Looking at me, deep in thought, she pulled me by the arm to the room where the sound had come from.

“I’m here,” she said as she opened the door.

The first thing I saw was Grandma blowing on her hand, probably still in pain.

Today, Grandma looked really beautiful. She was wearing a white T-shirt under an unbuttoned black short-sleeved shirt, and her blue jeans with white stripes accentuated her slender legs. Her hair was in a ponytail, with the sides left long, giving her a bit of an idol star vibe.

“Ah, it’s you. Long time no see. What have you been up to these years?”

Grandma didn’t lift her head, still blowing on her hand, probably thinking she was alone.

“…”

“Who’s this little girl?”

Huh? She didn’t even lift her head, how did she see me? I decided not to think too deeply about it…

I walked up to Grandma:

“I’m the one you blocked this morning during the call…” I thought this would be better than saying, “I’m Bai Ping.”

Light?!

I felt like Grandma’s eyes lit up for a moment! No, she seemed to be excited all over!

“Oh, you actually came to see me! What’s your relationship with Bai Ping? Are you her girlfriend? When did you meet? Come on, tell me all about it!”

Grandma’s eyes were full of anticipation (or rather, full of gossip)!

“Don’t mess with me, Grandma! I’m really Bai Ping!”

I panicked and replied.

I miscalculated… Grandma was surprisingly nosy. I should have just revealed my identity right away…

“Proof? That kid is a real boy, you can’t convince me just with those breasts.”

Grandma pointed at my no-longer-flat chest, seriously, as if the excitement from before had never happened.

I was impressed… she could change her expression so quickly…

“I can answer anything about Bai Ping!”

Looking into Grandma’s eyes, I replied sincerely.

“You know everything?”

“Yes! Because I am the real thing!”

“Oh ho?”

Why did I feel like Grandma was smiling? Was this funny?

“Well then, let’s see. I’ll ask you a few questions, and if you answer them all correctly, I’ll believe you.”

“Sure, I won’t miss a single one!”

Here was my chance to prove myself!!!

“OK, then… first question!”

No matter what you ask, Grandma, I’ll answer it all! Bring it on!

“How many men have I dumped so far? Answer please.”

“…”

“What?!” I shouted, and it echoed.

What kind of question was this? Was she crazy? I stood there, unable to understand.

“Uh… wait… you know…”

“So~ next question!”

Grandma smiled and continued her interrogation…

[*Some time later*]

What were these questions?! How could I know how many pieces of lingerie Grandma had! How could I know if her phone had ever been used to crack a walnut! Why?! Why were there no questions related to me? Why! I’m going to die!

“Alright, that’s enough. Just close your eyes, and I’ll confirm it myself. Of course, you can’t peek.”

“Huh? Oh.”

The questioning hell suddenly ended, and I obediently closed my eyes.

But, Grandma, what are you going to do?

Though your way of handling things has always been a bit unusual, what are you planning now? I should just obey and see what happens, right? It probably won’t be strange… probably…

[Switching Perspective: Bai Ping -> Grandma]

I beckoned her over, and we exchanged a glance. Speaking in a voice she couldn’t hear,

“You’re really going to do this?”

“What do you think?”

“Is this okay? I got a punch on the way here that could have sent someone to heaven.”

“You crazy thing, what did you do to my precious child!”

“It’s nothing, just checking if her future boyfriend will be happy, of course, physically.”

“…”, you moron. “You should just die twice…”

For touching my child, wait until I get you later…

“Alright, let’s settle this later. For now, just come to the back of that child, but don’t touch her.”

“Then, sorry, little girl (laughs)”

That guy did as I said, circling behind the child, with a lecherous smile on his face…

“3”

“2”

“1”

Whoosh!!!

I used a speed and technique no human could match to strip the child in front of me naked, tossing her clothes to the pervert to hold. Yes, even her underwear was removed.

But this decision might have been a mistake… because the pervert was happily taking deep breaths of my adorable child’s underwear…

There’s no saving him…

Turning to me,

“Oh-” I exclaimed.

This child had a great figure. Big where it should be, small where it should be, slim where it should be, with perfect proportions and a cute face. She could easily be a model, or even a star, without any issues.

“Hmm?”

The child let out a cute sound, opening her eyes, looking a bit dazed, as if she didn’t know what was happening. So cute…

[Switching Perspective: Grandma -> Bai Ping]

“…”

My mind raced, trying to figure out what had just happened.

Grandma told me to close my eyes, and then…?????

Now, I was standing with my hands raised, completely naked.

Yes… completely naked… because my whole body felt cold…

Why was I still standing when my underwear was gone?! All that was left was a band-aid on my chest!

I felt my face turn red, not just my face, but my whole body!

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!”

I hugged my shoulders tightly, crouching down, my chest pressed and distorted. This was just too much!

“Grandma! What did you do?!”

I shouted at Grandma.

Why did she have to undress me?!

Seeming not to hear me, Grandma approached me as I stood naked.

“Grandma? Um? Grandma, what’s wrong?” I trembled, backing away.

“Yikes!”

I was suddenly hugged by Grandma, and I was startled!

“Ha ha ha, sorry, I went too far. By the way, you’ve got a great body, kid.”

“Um? Kid?”

Did she mean…?

“Grandma! You believe me now!”

I was so happy, the misunderstanding was cleared up!

Hmm? Was there something off?…

…

Why did she recognize me only after undressing me?!!
