Chapter 44: Wait, I’m Tang Yunle… A Girl’s Pet?

A scream pierced the sky, but the girl quickly covered her mouth.

Although she didn’t understand what had happened, her gender change absolutely couldn’t be discovered by outsiders. She didn’t want to be on today’s headlines.

However, it was too late.

Two pairs of sleepy black eyes opened and simultaneously looked towards the balcony. In the sunlight, the feminine and beautiful Tang Yunle was completely exposed to their view.

‘It’s over!’

Tang Yunle thought, a cold sweat dripping down her back.

However, the reality far exceeded her expectations…

“My dear girl!” Lin Haiyu rubbed his sleepy eyes, his tone full of helplessness. “Even if your female pet rating is A-, and you’re the talk of the freshmen class, you don’t have to be such a pain in the ass this early in the morning, do you?”

Li Wei simply pulled the blanket over his head and complained in a muffled voice, “There’s no 8 a.m. class today. Let us sleep in a bit. We still have to go to the hospital to see Old Qin this afternoon… If you want to exercise, go for a morning run yourself. Remember to bring back breakfast.”

After speaking, the two of them turned away and went back to sleep.

It was as if everything was perfectly normal. A normal world, a normal dorm, a normal female version of Tang Yunle. The only thing that wasn’t normal was the Tang Yunle who had just screamed.

In the dead silent air, Tang Yunle pinched her thigh hard. The sharp pain made her realize this wasn’t a dream.

Then, she became even more confused.

If this wasn’t a dream, then what did Lin Haiyu and Li Wei mean just now?

What did “female pet rating” mean? What was “A- grade”? And what was this about going to see Qin Liang in the afternoon?

She knew every single word, but why couldn’t she understand them when they were put together?

Had she lost her memory? Or had she transmigrated?

“You two, stop sleeping! Get up!”

Tang Yunle strode to the beds and yanked the blankets off with both hands.

The cold air from the air conditioner rushed in, making the two shiver and wake up instantly.

Being woken up so rudely, their faces instantly darkened, but for some reason, neither of them made a move.

Li Wei, on the lower bunk, sat up and stared at Tang Yunle with displeasure. “What on earth do you want to do? Don’t mess around just because you’re government property.”

“According to Article 361 of the Federation’s ‘Female Pet University Cultivation and Residence Law,’ what you’re doing is causing trouble. We have the right to write a complaint letter and have the college lower your rating.”

“Ah Le, you don’t want your rating to affect your selling price after graduation, do you?”

If he hadn’t said that, it would have been fine. But once he said it, Tang Yunle was completely bewildered.

She looked at Li Wei, pointed to herself, and her eyes widened. “What did you say I am? And what does government property mean?”

“You’re a female pet. Government property is government property, literally.”

“What’s a female pet?”

Li Wei rolled his eyes. “My dear girl, you’re a top student in the female pet major yourself, and you’re asking me, a layman?”

“A female pet, as the name suggests, is a female pet. Of course, that’s what we men call you. The girls in your major have some strange self-proclaimed titles.”

Tang Yunle was struck by lightning, frozen on the spot.

Lin Haiyu, on the upper bunk, yawned and poked his head out. “Ah Le, are you still half-asleep this morning? How can you not even know what a female pet is?”

“Why don’t you go back to sleep for a while? Anyway, there’s no 8 a.m. class, and we only have one history class in the morning.”

“No! This isn’t right!”

The girl’s expression suddenly became agitated, and she jumped up and down.

“I’m clearly a boy, okay? I’m not a female pet!!”

“Tang Yunke, Tang Yunke, come out!”

“Is this a super-realistic dream you created? I knew it was you!”

“You little devil!!”

Seeing the girl so agitated, Lin Haiyu and Li Wei were also bewildered. They exchanged a glance, their eyes communicating silently.

“Old Li, what do you think is wrong with Ah Le? Is she having a fit this early in the morning? Should we call the counselor?”

“Don’t. If the college records a risk of mental illness in her file, it will affect Ah Le’s rating for the next four years, and her selling price after graduation.”

As they communicated, the two of them reached a consensus.

—First, find a way to calm Tang Yunle down.

As one flower blooms, another branch grows.

Blue Sky Hospital, in a hospital room.

Qin Liang woke up naturally from a deep sleep, stretched, and reached for the phone that was charging by his bed. He planned to spend half an hour scrolling through short videos to pass the time, then leisurely go for breakfast.

The cold light of the phone screen shone on his face, casting fine shadows from his eyelashes.

However, the first news story that popped up on his Douyin feed made the young man with ice-blue pupils freeze.

—”The 75th Beauty Pageant of the Huayuan Federation has officially begun. Female pets from all walks of life, with the consent of their owners, from the age of thirty-five down to graduation, are all eligible to register.”

He knew every single word, but why did they feel so strange when put together?

And wasn’t the term “female pet” a dehumanization of women?

Not only did the news dare to use it, but it also dared to use it openly in the headline.

He subconsciously opened the comment section. The dense comments were all filled with eager intentions to register.

Some even started discussing their high ratings, their good figures, and how rich their owners were in the comment section.

At the same time, there were also various large-scale selfies, as if there was no moderation at all.

He swiped his finger up.

—”Fierce battle, the top ten can get an S-grade prize, and the first place has a chance to get an SS-grade prize.”

He swiped his finger up.

—”This year, thirty million jobs are expected…”

He swiped up.

—”Privately raised pets for sale…”

He swiped up.

He swiped up.

He swiped up.

—”Female…”

—”Female…”

—”Female…”

The same two words were everywhere, and the entire screen was filled with these two words, as if the entire app had been forcibly implanted with this term, and every aspect of life was filled with these two words.

It wasn’t until he scrolled to a junk ad that he would usually just swipe past that the interface finally changed, and these two words were gone.

Qin Liang looked carefully.

—”Qiangqiang Company launches the latest platinum version of its heart stimulant. Just one injection will free you from the trouble of having to feed your pet every night. One injection will give your little pet a taste of ultimate delicacy, with the longest lasting effect of up to 15 minutes!!”

His ice-blue pupils stared at this line of text. After a long time, the young man squeezed out a single word from between his teeth.

“Damn it!”

After half an hour of such high-intensity video scrolling, Qin Liang sat up and put his phone aside. He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the hospital window, took a deep breath, and slapped himself hard!

Either he had gone mad, or the world had gone mad!
