Chapter 68: Unconscious Crossdressing?

If someone were to ask, what is it like to be your good brother’s female pet?

Tang Yunle felt she had the most right to speak on this.

After being bought by Qin Liang and becoming his private female pet, her life was no different from before.

The same drinking and joking, the same eating and drinking, the same attending classes and leaving school. If there was any change, it was just that she had graduated early and no longer had the government-subsidized food expenses.

Plus, with the setting that female pets had no private property, every mealtime, she would follow behind Qin Liang like a little tail, waiting for him to pay the bill.

And so, attending classes, eating, and sleeping, a three-point-one-line life, a month passed in a flash.

The discomfort of transmigrating to this absurd H-anime world had quietly dissipated in the day-to-day repetition.

From resistance to indifference, from tacit acceptance to gradual habituation, she had actually slowly adapted to the female pet culture here.

They say that time is a good medicine, but Tang Yunle felt that it was more like an anesthetic, numbing her senses and making her lose the awareness of resistance in a subtle way.

Having seen more, experienced more, and tasted more, she had become numb.

As for what Qin Liang had been doing this month, he had spent most of his time on the research of the parallel world transmigration hypothesis, wholeheartedly looking for a way to return to their original world.

It is worth mentioning here that on Tang Yunle’s side, her menstrual period had visited again. Thankfully, with the experience of last time, Qin Liang had handled it with ease this time.

Whether it was the brown sugar water with ginger, or the sanitary napkins of the right size, or even actively telling jokes to distract her and relieve the pain when the girl was clutching her stomach and whining in pain.

If judged by the standards of this female pet world, Qin Liang was a very qualified master.

A certain girl who had become a female pet had gradually adapted to the female pet culture, and a certain young man had also learned how to take care of others during this time, gradually transforming from a boy who needed to be cared for, taken care of, and worried about by his family.

Tang Yunle had originally thought that the days ahead would continue in such a plain and warm atmosphere.

Until an unexpected phone call shattered this tranquility.

Looking at the caller ID on her phone screen, which was labeled “Tang Mingnuo,” Tang Yunle, who was lying on her bed scrolling through short videos, hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

“Sis! I heard you actually graduated early!”

“Why didn’t you let the family know!”

“An S-grade female pet! I knew you were secretly working hard behind our backs! Yunke is so envious!”

Tang Mingnuo on the other end of the phone was sunny and cheerful, like a little parent seeing their child become successful. He was overjoyed, a complete contrast to the timid and weak younger brother in her memory.

Tang Yunle paused for a moment and casually made up an excuse, “Hmm… I’ve been busy with my studies lately, and I kind of forgot.”

“Sis, that’s not right of you! You’re a part of the family after all. How could you forget about this!”

Tang Mingnuo complained with a laugh. “You don’t even know, when Dad heard you had graduated early, he woke up laughing in his sleep! All the neighbors are praising you for being so capable, saying that you were born to be a female pet!”

Tang Yunle didn’t know how to answer and just said drily.

“It’s alright.”

But this perfunctory answer made Tang Mingnuo on the other end of the phone hear that something was wrong. His brows furrowed.

“What’s wrong? Sis, is your master not treating you well?”

“You don’t sound very energetic. Is your master bullying you?”

“Not really. I’ve just been a little tired lately.”

Tang Yunle glanced at the young man with ice-blue pupils who was holding the parallel world hypothesis in his left hand and a fountain pen in his right, constantly building transmigration hypotheses on a draft paper.

“He… is very good to me.”

After a few more dry chats, Tang Yunle hung up the phone.

Staring at the few numbers in her contacts labeled “family,” she thought back to her brother’s concerned words, and that sentence, “Bring your master home to meet Mom and Dad this weekend.”

A strange and awkward feeling rose in her heart.

She couldn’t adapt, she really couldn’t adapt.

It was even harder to adapt to than becoming a female pet with no human rights.

She was used to the extremely dysfunctional family in her original world, where they would have a big fight every three days and threaten to divorce every five. But in this H-anime world, her parents were harmonious, and the siblings were friendly and respectful. It was a completely different and warm picture.

Just like Qin Liang, Tang Yunle had not contacted her family at all this past month.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she didn’t know how to face them—to face the “family” that had suddenly appeared in this world.

Different worlds, different cultures, different experiences, yet they were connected by blood.

How was she supposed to call the Tang father and Tang mother in this parallel world, who had the same faces as her parents in her original world but different experiences, “Mom and Dad”?

But thankfully, Tang Yunle still had a plan—

—the pressure sharing method.

She would tell Qin Liang about this and let him find a solution for her. After all, as a master, when something happened, he couldn’t possibly let the female pet solve it, right?

“What?”

“Meet your parents?”

Qin Liang was very surprised when he heard this, but then he thought of the customs of this world and recovered, his brows relaxing.

“What day? I’ll go prepare.”

“This Friday.”

“As for my family situation, I think I’ve told you before.”

Qin Liang nodded.

He had long known about Tang Yunle’s bizarre original family: a gambling and alcoholic father, a mother who cheated on her husband, a timid younger brother, and a sister who was obsessed with Xiaohongshu.

A truly dysfunctional family.

“But that was the original world. And this world…”

Tang Yunle spread her hands helplessly. “I don’t know the specifics either, but the family atmosphere should be much better. At least they won’t fight over money and get a divorce, and I won’t have to send money to resolve their conflicts.”

Qin Liang nodded in response, but in a flash, his brows furrowed, and a question arose.

As far as he knew, Tang Yunle’s dysfunctional family not only didn’t give her living expenses every month, but also needed Tang Yunle to send money home from time to time. So, the question was, whether in the current world or the original world, he seemed to have never seen Tang Yunle get a part-time job to earn money. Instead, whenever she had free time, she would just lie on her bed and play on her phone. So, where did Tang Yunle’s money come from?

She couldn’t possibly conjure money out of thin air, could she?

“What are you thinking about?”

A small, fair hand waved in front of his eyes, interrupting his thoughts.

“Nothing,” Qin Liang shook his head and swallowed the question in his heart.

After all, who didn’t have some privacy? Maybe Tang Yunle had a side hustle online, like writing novels.

“By the way, Ah Le.”

Qin Liang came back to his senses. His gaze fell on the girl’s women’s clothing and plaid short skirt, and he couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Why did you start wearing women’s clothing?”

“Oh, that’s it. Nothing special,” Tang Yunle tugged at the hem of her skirt, deliberately showing it off.

“I always got the side-eye for wearing men’s clothing in the female pet class, so I thought I’d try women’s clothing.”

“Don’t worry, bro. I’m not a pervert who’s into cross-dressing.”

“It’s just to fit in with the group. After all, I don’t want to be a social outcast for the next four years of college and not even have a friend to talk to during class.”

As she spoke, she patted Qin Liang on the shoulder and then pounded her own chest, a “pure man” gesture.

Qin Liang looked at the beautiful girl in the plaid short skirt and long, flowing hair, opened his mouth, and in the end, didn’t say a word.
