382 We All Have Secrets (1/2)
Ye Shuang soon discovered the core of the problem. In her male and female form, the angle of sight was completely different. So, when she stood up from the sofa and noticed that the surrounding furniture had gotten smaller, the truth immediately dawned on her. Then came a series of panicked analysis.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
”Why would the body transform so suddenly?” Han Chu tried his best to suppress the urge to yell and asked for an explanation calmly.
”I have no idea. Wait a minute, let me try to think about it.” Brother Shuang, who was changing into the spare male pajamas, appeared rather flustered and tried to retrace all her steps that day. ”Before we left, I remember sucking on a lollipop, so it can't be because there hasn't been a chance to exchange saliva with member of the opposite sex.
”Then, everything was normal… I didn't suffer any injury during combat. Even if there was, all the opponents were male, and there hasn't been a situation where the DNA in the blood would prove more effective than the ones in saliva… Jennifer kissed me on my cheeks, but it was on the skin, so that should be fine, right? Medication… No, genetic instability… Doesn't look like it! Er, even I cannot figure out why.”
After going through his schedule for the day and coming up with nothing, Brother Shuang finally gave up. He lifted his sad eyes toward Han Chu. ”What do you think the problem is?”
”Don't look at me like that, it's not going to work.” Han Chu began with a snide comment before calming down to help Ye Shuang with her analysis. ”Based on what you've told me, there shouldn't be any event that should have caused your gender to change, but the reality is that it has changed… Other than the possibility that we cannot prove, if your gender transformation has a logical element to it, then the problem must reside with this element.”
”I did eat a lollipop today.” Ye Shuang raised her hand to admit that she had not forgotten about that. The only 'element' that might trigger a gender swap was an exchange of bodily fluids, and the 'element' that she had been using to maintain her current gender was the lollipops.
”Then there has to be a problem with the lollipops.” Han Chu pinched the bridge of his nose. ”Give me the rest of your lollipops.”
Ye Shuang surrendered them honestly. Han Chu looked at them. They looked fine, but when he opened one… there came the problem.
”Have you taken the wrong medicine… I mean, the wrong candy?” Han Chu looked at Ye Shuang with a complicated emotion. He lifted one lollipop and showed it to her. ”To maintain your gender, you should have eaten the ones that you have licked when you were a man. But take a look at these—the wrappers look untouched, and the candy itself has no signs of being eaten before.”
Ye Shuang was shocked. ”That's impossible. I kept those I've licked inside an isolated corner of the fridge. I brought them with me because we're supposed to leave home today. So, how could… Wait a minute.”
Han Chu thought back to the people staying at their apartment and sighed. ”I think I know what the problem is.”
After a moment's silence, Ye Shuang sighed. ”I understand it now.”
The two shared a look, and they were both thinking about the newcomer who had a penchant for snacking. After accidentally eating Han Chu's snacks and being warned by Ye Shuang, he still had not corrected his habit. He still stole from other people's stock, but afraid of being discovered, whenever he stole from others, he would buy the same packages and replace them…
There could only be one truth!
Ye Shuang hissed through his teeth, ”Since he went through the trouble of replacing the snacks that he ate every time, wouldn't it be easier for him to buy extra and keep his paws to himself?”
”He probably did, but he didn't buy enough, or he was in the mood to try a new flavor… This is not an issue of storage but an issue of personality.” Han Chu had a headache. ”But that is not the point. The point is… how do we explain this?”
After Ray was captured, that night should be the four-party negotiation between Jennifer and them. However, there was probably a problem because there was no sign that Ray had been captured. So, the plan for the night had been ruined just like that, and in a stroke of good luck, Ye Shuang's transformation had not happened before everyone else.
Even so, this could only be covered until the following morning. When the sun came up, even if Ray was still not captured, Jennifer would still come back to visit them to check up on them. What would they do then?
