The Naked Truth and a Brother’s Disappointment

After a hot shower, I stood before the mirror, attempting to wrap my hair in a towel.

Having become a girl, I suddenly realized how inconvenient long hair truly was. Not only was it a hassle to manage, but it would also get pressed beneath me while sleeping at night, and in winter, static electricity became a constant worry.

Then, my mind drifted to the strands of hair my mother always left scattered across the floor at home…

Should I just cut it all off?

Yet, long hair was undeniably beautiful.

My gaze involuntarily drifted downwards. With a mixture of curiosity and shame, I secretly scrutinized the beautiful girl in the mirror, her wet, unbound hair cascading around her, her skin as flawless and delicate as freshly rendered cream.

Her icy, snow-like skin, flushed pink by the steam, and her perfect figure were utterly captivating, almost criminally so!

Moreover, it seemed I had very little body hair…

No, stop! This was too sexy! I couldn’t keep looking; as a pure, innocent virgin, I couldn’t maintain my composure!

Someone quickly summon a priest or a shadow priest! Cover this scene with holy light and censorship pixels!

Such an indecent scene was practically pornography, posing an immense challenge for any censor!

Imagine if I were a virgin censor at Bilibili; upon seeing this, I’d likely suffer a physical depletion so severe that even energy drinks couldn’t replenish it before rejecting the submission.

If I didn’t know the beautiful girl before me was myself, I would have been tempted to commit a crime.

Damn it, my mood was foul. If I had turned into an ordinary girl, it wouldn’t be this agonizing, but transforming into a beautiful girl was pure torment!

As a shut-in who hadn’t interacted with many pretty girls, I’d usually get so nervous around a beautiful girl that I couldn’t utter a word. To accidentally witness such a scene—the kind of ‘fan service’ typically found only in female artists’ works—would make me instantly faint.

Women are terrifying! I want to return to Virgin Planet!

Only our eternal leader, the Caliph Yi Wu Wu Yi, with his Soul of Steel, could give me the courage to face such a brutal spectacle.

“Are women more fun than games? Are you a moron?”

Such profound words from a great man.

Indeed, why should I fear women?

A true virgin would be fearless!

I gazed with resolute eyes at the adorable, slightly perplexed beautiful girl in the mirror, her brow subtly furrowed.

Hmph, what was the big deal? It was just my own body. There was no way I could feel anything for myself; at most, I could just brag about how good-looking I currently was.

Besides, this appearance was neither my parents’ doing nor my own; it was merely a body sculpted by God. If I simply viewed it with the appreciation one holds for God’s creation, I felt my aesthetic sensibilities would greatly improve.

That was it. I would regard my body as a work of art. Pure appreciation of beauty was innocent.

I wasn’t some Yoshikage Kira who could get aroused by looking at the Mona Lisa; how could I possibly feel anything for a work of art?

Wait, why did my vision suddenly darken? I felt a little dizzy.

Oh no, phantom limb pain again!

Sob, sob, sob, this was unbearable! Ling Chen, you damn brat, hurry back to me!

Without you, I’ll die!

After countless failed attempts to manage my hair, I decided to go find a hairdryer. Despite my wet hair dripping water all over the floor, I suddenly felt a resurgence of my former joy.

To put it simply, it was much like the old Beijingers walking their birds.

Sometimes, when I got a wild streak, even I was afraid of myself. Running around naked after a bath when I was alone at home was a cherished, eccentric habit of mine.

Since I always kept the curtains drawn, I wasn’t afraid of being seen and didn’t have to worry about indecency. It was almost like returning to the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

In that time, there was no concept of shame. This version of myself seemed to revert to a simple, blissful primitive age, free from any constraints, as free as the wind!

Even the sadness of becoming a girl could be completely ignored!

Overwhelmed by happiness, I pulled a large bottle of soda from the fridge and chugged it down.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

The cold cola sliding down my throat felt even more satisfying than opening a bottle of ’82 Lafite, which people used to show off.

This was pure bliss!

“Sister, I’m home.”

The sound of the door opening made me freeze.

I stiffly turned my head, seeing Ling Chen push open the door, and the groceries fall to the floor.

“The method of opening must be incorrect.”

Ling Chen retreated outside the door, closed it, then opened it again.

I: “…”

Ling Chen: “…”

A silent staredown.

Ling Chen thoughtfully turned around, intending to open the door once more, muttering to himself,

“Is it my imagination? Why did I see Sister shamelessly, completely naked, drinking a forbidden beverage in the living room?”

Unsure where to cover myself, I simply hugged my chest and squatted down, utterly mortified, my voice choked with tears.

“Please, stop beating a dead horse, okay? Sob, sob, sob, I’ve been seen completely. I’ll never get married…”

Awkward, the atmosphere was beyond awkward.

It was like that eerie silence when your parents found a dirty magazine under your bed, and the whole family sat around the table, staring at each other, unable to utter a single word.

Although I hadn’t cooked in a long time, and my skills were a bit rusty, the egg-fried rice I eventually made tasted remarkably good. Logically, I should have boasted about it to Ling Chen.

However, the strange silence as we both ate with our heads down made me completely afraid to speak first.

“Um…”

Just as I mustered the courage to speak, Ling Chen put down his chopsticks and looked at me seriously.

“Sister, shouldn’t we consider maintaining a proper distance between siblings?”

How did you just say exactly what I was about to say?

Wasn’t I the one who was wronged?

Why were you the one bringing it up so righteously?

I snapped, “If we’re going to keep our distance, couldn’t you have knocked before coming in?”

Ling Chen said calmly, without emotion, “Don’t blame others before anything even happens. I had no idea Sister would run around without clothes. If Sister is so keen on letting loose, why not go out on the street? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely record it.”

Record it?

Are you truly my brother?

You’re sparing no effort to mess with me!

His words infuriated me, and I demanded, “Aren’t you omniscient and omnipotent? You knew what was happening at home and still opened the door. Tell me, wasn’t that intentional? Hmph, I knew it. A perverted guy like me would naturally have a brother who’s no better. But isn’t messing with your own sister a bit too much?”

Ling Chen seemed to have a headache, wearing an expression that clearly said, ‘What nonsense are you spouting?’

“Sister, when I said we should maintain a proper distance, I was primarily considering your feelings. You are a girl now, but your body and mind still retain masculine habits. Fortunately, I am your brother, and I can correct your bad habits, helping you adapt to your identity. For instance, your current sitting posture—if you were wearing a skirt, wouldn’t everything be exposed?”

I quickly clamped my open legs together. Then, Ling Chen tapped the table with his index finger, speaking in a low tone as if giving me a lecture.

“I am your brother, Sister. I remember you even before you grew all your hair. What are you being shy about?”

My cheeks flushed, and I retorted, “But I’m still a girl now!”

“So what? To me, whether Sister is male or female simply doesn’t matter. Sister, do you get aroused by apes?”

Wait, do you get aroused by apes?

What kind of terrifying fetish is that?

Have your preferences transcended species?

Seeing me clutch my chest and eye him with the wary gaze one reserved for a pervert, Ling Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

“My attitude towards Sister is simple. In my eyes, Sister is like an ape in the eyes of an ordinary person. No, at least an ape is a mammal somewhat similar to humans. In my heart, Sister is completely on par with a paramecium! We’re different species; why would I be interested in Sister?”

“Am I really that low-grade?”

Finding that Ling Chen genuinely harbored no immoral thoughts about me was, paradoxically, a huge blow.

Finally, Ling Chen even added the finishing touch with a look of disdain, saying, “Sister is purely judging a gentleman by her own petty standards. I’m very disappointed.”

Haha.

Hahahaha.

I truly was a guy whose brain had completely broken.

If there were a way to delete memories, I would definitely erase this entire day—no, I’d just delete all my past memories. That way, when I woke up tomorrow with amnesia, I would be a beautiful girl, completely, inside and out!

Right, I’d do it. I’d start by trying to run into a wall.
