326 For Hire (1/2)

There was no worst thing in the world because oftentimes when you thought things could not get worse, you would realize how wrong you were the next second.

At midnight, Brother Han watched calmly as Sister Shuang turned into Brother Shuang. In the same calmness, he helped the latter find a larger shirt and waited calmly for the man to exit the bedroom. When the tall and handsome man exited the bedroom, Han Chu calmly lowered his head to return to work. He asked without even a twitched of his brow, ”Based on that surprise on your face, it doesn't seem like you expected the transformation to happen tonight?”

Brother Shuang looked like half of his soul was missing. She tried to use the time that she used to change to calm down, but it was to no avail. ”…You're right about that.”

Those nerves were especially prominent after finding out Madam Grace's unique 'hobby'.

From 11:30 pm until the time of her transformation, nothing shocked Ye Shuang more than the news about Madam Grace. She was not afraid of a powerful enemy, but a woman who could threaten her gender transformation, that was hard for Ye Shuang to deal with. Of course, there was no guarantee that the woman was interested in her, but for the sake of safety, Ye Shuang had been left with no choice but to be a bit handsy around boys until she left Feng Yuan City.

”Huh‽” After hearing this answer, Brother Han felt charitable enough to give Brother Shuang a look. ”You still haven't found a way to control your gender transformation?”

”I have, but this world is too devious!” The handsome yet saddened man slumped on the couch. The brooding aura around him could make any girl who saw him experience instant heartbreak. ”I… I thought there were only young drag queens. I didn't expect to run into young tomboys!”

What the f*ck!

Thinking back to this afternoon when she saw the 'young boy' with the crew cut who kicked the fatty next to her without hesitation. Even now, Ye Shuang had trouble connecting that 'boy' to a little girl. That vicious gaze, that quick and fast way she took down the fat child, the way she used the doll in her hand to whack at the boy's face, and the scoff she issued when the fatty she bullied started to cry… in what world was that a girl‽

Ye Shuang even thought that she had run into an underground boss who ran the kindergarten…

Wait a minute, using a doll to whack the fatty? Now that she gave it a second thought, the 'weapon of choice' was indeed cause for suspicion… The parents of a boy normally would not buy their child that kind of toy. So, it was the girl who had grown into her own style, was it?

”By the way…” She was pulled back into reality by Han Chu's voice, then she heard something that she desperately wanted to forget. The man who sat at the table raised his head, and his lips curled into a smile like he was reminded of something humorous. He said coldly, ”With that face of yours… you'd better not show up around Madam Grace any time soon.”

What kind of friend is this?

After watching the exceptionally handsome and gloomy face leave his apartment, Han Chu studied the closed door for a while before turning back to his laptop. Several clicks later, the screen on the laptop changed, and a new folder that was heavily encrypted was opened.

Then the fingers danced gracefully on the keyboard, keying in new information on the file named 'Observation of the Unidentified Organism'. The table that was named 'To Be confirmed' had a few new clauses added.

”Currently, there are two known instances of failed gender transformation, through revealed information and reaction of the target, the reason for the failure seemed to be due to external factors, and it has always come as a surprise to the target.”

As he mumbled to himself, he continued to type. The big boss wrote down his analysis calmly. ”Since the method for controlling and initiating the gender swap is due to outside variables. When the target misjudges the third party's gender, the target's own gender status will be affected. Based on the prolonged observation period and the target's interaction with other third parties, the initial speculation is that the condition to stabilize target's gender is due to the exchange of bodily fluid…”

Then, after a pause, he added the last sentence. ”The chance of this speculation being correct is… 70%.”

…

When Luo Mingxin saw the familiar male walk into the restaurant, he almost coughed out the coffee in his mouth. He grabbed a napkin hurriedly to hide his faux pas. He coughed several times before he managed to calm down. Luo Mingxin then stood up in surprise and asked the handsome man who was walking toward him, ”Why are you here?”

Brother Shuang was baffled. ”This is a public space, right? I came for dinner, so why can't I be here?”

No matter how hard it was, her life had to continue. After a night to adjust her feeling, Ye Shuang could face the accidental threat to her gender more calmly. Honestly, Madam Grace's vice came as a shock to Ye Shuang, but when she thought about it, she realized that there was a limit to what a woman could do no matter how impressive she was. Furthermore, it was not that she had not come across similar enemies in the past. With her current status, it was hard for her to save the world, but saving her own virginity was more than enough… On top of that, Madam Grace had always used the offer of power and money to broaden her harem. It was consensual for both parties.
