The Reversion and a Fateful Farewell

“Is… is it changing back?” Huang Xiu gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she rolled back onto the bed.

Previously, she would always change back after sleeping, but now she was experiencing the whole process of transforming from a female body back to a male one.

This feeling was painful and debilitating.

The endless strength that had filled her body seemed to be drained away along with the transformation.

The virtual energy inside her, which had been unusually active and mostly recovered, also returned to calm.

No, it wasn’t just returning to calm. It had completely lost its vitality, becoming a stagnant pool.

Feeling her extremely weak body, no matter how much Huang Xiu didn’t want to believe it or tried to fool herself, she had to admit that after the physical completion, that female body was indeed more suited to her.

“Damn it! My dream of being a dragon lord male lead!” Huang Xiu shouted in her heart, enduring the weakness.

Everything was gone, completely gone!

The transformation lasted less than two minutes.

But Huang Xiu felt like she had come out of water, even her hair was soaked with sweat.

“Huff, huff, huff!”

Huang Xiu lay on the bed, gasping for breath. It took a long time before she regained a bit of strength.

To avoid drawing attention, she had been clenching her teeth and not making a sound. Now that she relaxed, she felt completely drained.

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she silently pulled down her pants and glanced inside.

Slap!

She let go expressionlessly and averted her eyes.

Good grief, it had shrunk again.

If before it was from a big dragon to a small dragon, now it had turned straight into a caterpillar.

White and tender, small and thin.

Aside from being able to provide some yellow liquid for those daydreaming posters on forums, it had probably lost its main function.

“I never thought I’d graduate from virginity this way.” Huang Xiu covered her face and laughed helplessly.

Probably no one else had such a bizarre experience, going from a virgin male to a virgin female.

She patted her face to pull herself together.

“The re-examination is the day after tomorrow. Before that, I need to make a clean break with all the relationships of this Huang Xiu identity.”

A trace of determination flashed in Huang Xiu’s eyes.

The next time she transformed, she would completely become a girl, with no chance of turning back into a boy.

Before that, she had to cherish this last period of male time.

Do all the things she had wanted to do but hadn’t.

Like… saying goodbye to Fang Miaoqing.

“What a shame. I was finally able to get into the same university as Miaoqing.”

Huang Xiu smacked her lips regretfully.

If they could have entered Tiandu University together, she might have been able to hold hands with that girl she had a crush on for two years and become a couple.

Maybe even walk down the aisle together.

Live happily ever after.

But now…

She was about to become a girl, all doors were shut. There was absolutely no chance!

Although Huang Xiu had initially considered the possibility of a lily romance, pursuing Fang Miaoqing as a girl, she eventually gave up that idea.

Fang Miaoqing was a straight girl; she wouldn’t like another girl.

And mainly, Huang Xiu herself couldn’t be thick-skinned enough to ask Fang Miaoqing to bear the pressure of society for her sake.

This hazy, secret crush hidden in both their hearts, fading away with growth might be the best ending.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow it is! Say goodbye to Fang Miaoqing, as a male, a complete farewell!”

Huang Xiu made up her mind.

She flipped over and lay on her stomach, her long hair spilling onto her back. She squinted comfortably.

Without the protruding hills on her chest, lying on her stomach didn’t feel uncomfortable. That was great.

The good mood didn’t last long. Another matter quietly crept into Huang Xiu’s heart and started dancing.

So… should she confess to her parents tomorrow? Tell them she had changed from a boy to a girl…

Honestly, she wanted to confess. Because this matter couldn’t be hidden, and it couldn’t be hidden for long.

Not if she wanted to maintain this family relationship.

After all, her feminized face couldn’t be disguised with makeup or any other method to look like her previous appearance.

“Sigh.” Huang Xiu let out a deep breath.

She turned over and lay on her back. Her right hand took out the engraved jade token from her pocket and held it up to the light to examine it.

Under the white light, the emerald green jade had a smooth luster. The intaglio childlike head drawing was especially cute.

Though she had grown a bit crooked now.

But she had indeed been good-looking as a child, delicate like a porcelain doll, and lively and active.

No wonder her parents had chosen her at a glance.

“They’ve raised me for so long. Even a dog would have feelings. They shouldn’t disown me, right?” Huang Xiu muttered to comfort herself.

She still remembered that day, as the sun set, the man with glasses bent down, patted her head, and said kindly, “From now on, you’re my son. You have to pass on the Huang family line in Yingshi.”

And the bright, beautiful woman standing nearby just looked at her with a smile.

Happiness spilled from her eyes.

That scene was just like Whitebeard holding Ace and making him his son.

Really, how could she refuse?

After all, even a stray dog wants a home!

If you see a dog on the road and pet it, it will wag its tail and follow you back.

Nobody doesn’t want a home!

Not to mention how big and warm that man’s hand was.

The warmth of that palm flowed from the top of her head into her heart, making her dizzy and letting herself be taken home.

And that day became her birthday, the best birthday gift she had ever received.

“Ah, at worst, I’ll just let Mom and Dad adopt another kid!”

Huang Xiu made a difficult decision.

Though she was very reluctant to split her parents’ love in half, there was no other way.

She would never get married in this life. Chances were she’d end up alone forever.

—Of course, assuming she lived that long.

So even if she wanted to adopt a child later, it probably wouldn’t meet the regulations.

She might as well let her parents adopt another child and continue the Huang family line.

Anyway, what her father cared about was the surname “Huang,” not blood inheritance.

According to him, the real Huang family of Yingshi had been broken off over a hundred years ago.

His ancestors had also been adopted. They just followed the ancestral instructions to keep the Huang family incense burning.

“That’s it!”

Huang Xiu didn’t want to think anymore. She was afraid that the more she thought, the more hesitant she would become, and in the end, she wouldn’t have the resolve.

Sometimes, you just have to act impulsively.

“Ah, sleep, sleep!”

She yawned and decided to just sleep.

She reached out and flipped the switch on the remote control. With a click, the white light in the tent went out.

Only a slowly fading glow remained around the bulb.

She pulled the blanket up to cover her navel, leaving her limbs exposed.

Huang Xiu closed her eyes, relaxed her mind, and cleared her thoughts.

Outside the tent, people were still busy.

Soldiers and police were patrolling. Doctors were diagnosing the victims’ mental states and injuries. The regular office workers in the jurisdiction looked worriedly toward the school.

For them, tonight was a sleepless night. But for Huang Xiu, amidst the anxiety, she gradually drifted into sleep.
