Chapter 123: Choosing to Be a Boy or a Girl

Qin Liang stared blankly at his own palm, making no move.

Tang Yunke’s eyebrows twitched. She simply moved closer, her palm almost touching the young man’s face.

Qin Liang still didn’t understand.

“Hey, are you a block of wood?” the girl finally couldn’t help but say, her voice crisp. “I already called you brother-in-law. You see how cute I am. Shouldn’t you show some appreciation and give me a red envelope?”

Tang Yunle, who was beside them, went dark when she heard this.

Can’t you just leave a good impression on him for the first meeting?

And as her sister, being so greedy, would Ah Liang think that she was also a bad woman who was greedy at heart?

“Hmm… how much do you want?” Qin Liang touched his phone.

“Not much, not much. A hundred yuan is enough!” Tang Yunke immediately held up one finger, her eyes sparkling, afraid that he would go back on his word.

Qin Liang didn’t speak, his fingertips tapping a few times on the screen.

A few seconds later, Tang Yunke’s phone “ding-donged.” She looked down, and her pupils constricted—ten thousand yuan?!

“Brother-in-law, you…” just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Qin Liang.

He put his phone back in his pocket, leaned forward slightly, his tone carrying a hint of a deliberate indulgence. “Call me ‘brother-in-law’ a few more times.”

“Brother-in-law!” Tang Yunke said without any hesitation, her voice as sweet as honey. “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law!” After calling him three times, it wasn’t enough. She went over and tugged on Qin Liang’s arm and shook it. “You have money too, brother-in-law! My sister has really good taste. You have to marry her, Coco!”

Tang Yunle’s cheeks burned. She reached out and covered her mouth. “Shut up!”

But Tang Yunke was still struggling and mumbling, her muffled voice full of “brother-in-law is the best” and “sister, brother-in-law” and the like.

Qin Liang looked at Tang Yunle’s reddened earlobes, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Although he didn’t know who Tang Yunke was, where she came from, and why she had natural powers, all these questions were not important.

Tang Yunle didn’t want to explain everything to him now, so he would wait, until the day Tang Yunle was willing.

After a bit of a commotion, the group also figured out where they were. It was the first semester of their freshman year. To be precise, it was an hour and a half after Tang Yunle and Qin Liang had first transmigrated.

Li Wei and Lin Haiyu were not in the dorm. It seemed they had gone to class. After confirming that he had really transmigrated back to the original world, Qin Liang went to buy breakfast for the two girls. Watching Qin Liang’s back leave the dorm, and the sound of his footsteps disappearing in the corridor, the two sisters sat by the bed, you looking at me, me looking at you.

Until…

“Sister, I think he guessed that you weren’t telling him the truth,” Tang Yunle said, swinging her small, white-stockinged legs.

“It’s all your fault!”

“If you hadn’t suddenly appeared, I wouldn’t have had to make up such a lame excuse to fool him,” Tang Yunle sighed, running her fingers through her hair, her tone a little frustrated. “It’s over. My credit score in his heart has definitely dropped.”

“Then why don’t you just be honest?”

Tang Yunle rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, “You’re not unaware of my former identity. To put it nicely, I was a provider of emotional value to men in the virtual world. To put it bluntly, I was an online scammer who relied on milking guys like him for money.”

“This kind of dark history, can you just tell it to anyone?”

“But it doesn’t matter anymore. Anyway, I didn’t want to do it anymore. I’ll just submit my resignation in a few days.”

At this point, she took out the heavy piece of gold from her pocket and waved it proudly in front of Tang Yunle. “Look, what’s this? Gold! And!”

“From now on, I’ll just follow Ah Liang every day. He’s so generous. If he occasionally uses the divine pen to create a piece, won’t I be rich?”

Tang Yunle blinked at the piece of gold and muttered to herself, “How come this has a bit of a welfare princess-turned-employed vibe…”

“Slap!” Tang Yunle reached out and tapped her on the forehead, laughing in exasperation. “What welfare princess? Do you know how to talk! I’m a pure man!”

“It’s a girl’s appearance.”

Tang Yunle clutched her forehead and pouted. “This transmigration has had a great impact on sister. Before, you still had a bit of a boyish outline, but now you’re just being stubborn and acting cute.”

“Try saying that again?” Tang Yunle was about to tap her again, but Tang Yunle immediately shrank her neck and begged for mercy. The two sisters started to play around.

And Tang Yunle, while the two sisters were playing around, took out her phone and waited for Qin Liang to bring back food, while also getting to know this long-lost world.

“Sister,” the beautiful girl in white stockings spoke.

“What is it?” the beautiful girl in black stockings said without looking up.

“Do you like being a boy? Or a girl?”

“I’m a pure man. Of course I choose to be a boy.”

“Really?”

“As real as the gold in my hand!”

“Then does sister want to change back?”

“Wait, what do you mean?” Tang Yunle abruptly looked up. “You can change me back?”

“Of course I can, but…” Tang Yunle put away her playful expression, held up one finger, and said seriously, “but it can only take effect once. It will let you, sister, choose your gender again. After this time, your gender will become a fait accompli.”

“Even brother-in-law’s divine pen can’t change it.”

“What do you mean, a fait accompli?”

“It means it’s something that will definitely happen. Mainly, some people deserve to die, so they will definitely die, and no matter what method is used, it can’t be stopped.”

As she spoke, Tang Yunle extended her hand, her palm facing up, as if she were waiting for an answer.

Tang Yunle stared at her hand, then looked down at her own small legs, which were currently in black stockings. Her Adam’s apple bobbed.

Just now, she had been stubbornly saying that she was a pure man, but when she was really faced with a choice, her heart was as if it had been stirred by something, and it was a mess.

Change back, back to that Tang Yunle? Back to the boy who had no one to love him, no one to dote on him, and even had to rely on milking rich guys for money?

Or just stay like this, be a girl who can be protected, loved, and raised by Qin Liang, a girl who can bicker with him?

Her knuckles, which were clutching the phone, turned slightly white. Her eyes darkened, and she didn’t say a word for a long time.

“Sister, have you thought about it?”

“To be a boy or a girl?”

Tang Yunke tilted her head and asked with a radiant smile.

“I…” she opened her mouth, her voice a little hesitant.

“I’m back!”

Qin Liang’s voice, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, came. He was holding a few hot breakfast bags in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two Tang Yunle sisters huddled together, their expressions a little strange.

Tang Yunle was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She abruptly came back to her senses and was the first to interrupt, “No-nothing! We were just sitting and chatting.”

Qin Liang didn’t think much of it and said with a smile, placing the breakfast bags on the table, “I bought breakfast. Hurry up and eat while it’s hot.”

As he undid the bags, he distributed the food.

Tang Yunle’s was pumpkin congee with two meat buns. Qin Liang himself had preserved egg and lean pork congee with a meat-stuffed bun.

As for Tang Yunke…

The young man with ice-blue pupils looked at the beautiful girl in white stockings, reached out and patted her head, his tone gentle. “This is our first meeting. I don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought you the same pumpkin congee and two meat buns as your sister. If it’s not to your liking, I’ll take you to buy something else later?”

“I’m not picky, but can you not touch my head? I’m not my sister, and I’m not a little pet for you to amuse yourself with.”

Tang Yunke shook her head in disgust and waved Qin Liang’s hand away. But her gaze did not fall on him, but looked straight at Tang Yunle.

“Sister, give me an answer within this month. This is very important to me.”

Tang Yunle’s movements stiffened slightly, and then she replied in a calm tone, “I know.”

Qin Liang noticed Tang Yunle’s strangeness, but he didn’t ask, but just quietly ate with the two girls.
