Chapter 82: If You Fall to Femininity, I’ll Rebuild Your Personality

The streets were bustling with people. The skewers on the grill were sizzling with oil. A sprinkle of chili powder, paired with a cool beer, was full of the atmosphere of earthly pleasures.

This was a barbecue stall outside the college.

The last time the two of them had come here, it was when Tang Yunle was about to graduate early and was facing the prospect of acknowledging a master. She had dragged Qin Liang here to complain, crying her eyes out.

At that time, one of them was in a terrible mood, while the other was as usual.

But this time, it was still the two of them, but their moods had switched—Tang Yunle was in a good mood, while Qin Liang’s surrounding pressure was so low it was scary, as if he were in the worst mood possible.

Gulp, gulp—

Iced beer was poured into a glass, and a white foam frothed on top of the orange-yellow liquid. Qin Liang poured a large glass for each of them, pushed one to Tang Yunle, and held the other himself.

He, who usually didn’t like to drink, now chugged half a glass in one go.

Tang Yunle only dared to take a small sip, while secretly peeking at the young man across from her, not daring to say another word.

“Tang Yunle, do you still know where you came from?”

Suddenly, the young man with ice-blue eyes spoke. His eyes, as cold as a glacier, were fixed on the person before him. He didn’t call her “Ah Le” as he usually did, but her full name.

“I do. We’re transmigrators,” Tang Yunle said, scratching her head in confusion, not understanding why Qin Liang was asking such a useless question.

“Before you transmigrated, who were you?”

“Me? Of course I was Tang Yunle. Ah Liang, why are you asking such nonsense?”

“And now?”

“Of course, I’m still Tang Yunle, but I’ve been gender-bent into a female pet with no human rights.”

“Then do you like to call me master, or do you hope to call me Ah Liang?”

The young man leaned forward, his ice-blue eyes as if they were locked onto the long, black-haired beautiful girl before him, full of questioning.

Tang Yunle was a little confused.

It wasn’t until she met the frozen question in Qin Liang’s ice-blue eyes that she suddenly realized and slapped her forehead.

“You’re worried that I’ll be assimilated by this world and become a female pet, right?”

“Don’t worry. Although I’m wearing women’s clothing, although I’m competing with Xia Yinqiu like a female, and although even I feel a little strange these days, but!”

Tang Yunle clenched her pink fists and pounded her own chest twice, a cheeky smile on her face, putting on a “I’m a pure man” air.

“I will never be feminized! And I certainly won’t accept the female pet culture of this world and become an obedient and well-behaved female pet!”

“You can rest a hundred percent assured on this point.”

Although the girl tried her best to explain, the question in Qin Liang’s eyes did not diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, it settled into a glacial depth.

After getting along for so long, just as Tang Yunle understood him, he also understood her.

Honestly, with Tang Yunle’s personality, if she were a man, she would definitely be able to shoulder her responsibilities and be a good husband, a good son, and a good father. But she herself might not live happily.

But if she stayed in this world as a female pet, although she would have no human rights, she could live a relaxed, carefree, and thoughtless life.

On one side was the “responsibility” of a man who had to carry his family, and on the other was the “happiness” of a carefree female pet.

How would Tang Yunle choose?

He didn’t know.

But everything that had been happening to Tang Yunle recently clearly showed that she was gradually integrating into this world, or rather, being slowly assimilated by this world.

Qin Liang really didn’t like this.

Whether it was the powerlessness of watching his once iron-boned good brother gradually feminize into an obedient little female pet, or the frustration of the very anchor that was supposed to keep him from being assimilated being shaken.

If one day, Tang Yunle was truly and completely assimilated into a female pet by this world, Qin Liang didn’t know how long he could hold on.

A person is the sum of all social relations.

He needed Tang Yunle. He needed to talk to this fellow countryman who shared his worldview. He needed to use this communication to constantly deny this world, to be sure that he was the right one and the world was the wrong one, in order to protect himself from being assimilated by this world.

The young man just stared at Tang Yunle for a long, long time, so long that the barbecue on the table had lost its heat.

Being stared at by these glacial eyes, Tang Yunle felt that Qin Liang’s gaze was complex and hard to read. One moment, it was as close as a brother’s, the next, as distant as a stranger’s, and the next, it was filled with a hatred like that for an enemy. All sorts of emotions were intertwined, making it impossible to sort them out.

“Ah Le.”

Qin Liang suddenly spoke, his cold voice echoing in the surroundings.

“You need to know that in this world, I’m the only one who sees you as a person. If one day, you are no longer my good brother, Tang Yunle, then I will no longer see you as a person.”

Tang Yunle quickly swallowed the barbecue in her mouth and nodded heavily. “I understand, I understand. Why don’t we eat the barbecue first? If we don’t eat it now, it’ll get cold. And this low pressure you’re giving off is too scary.”

Watching the girl stare at the barbecue with great enthusiasm, clearly not taking his words to heart, Qin Liang pursed his lips and silently swallowed the second half of his sentence, hiding it in his heart.

If one day, Tang Yunle was no longer his good brother, no longer his anchor to maintain his self-cognition in this world, and no longer his fellow countryman from the same world…

Then she would no longer be his good brother, no longer be Tang Yunle, but would become a female pet who had devoured the personality of “Tang Yunle.”

A… female pet with whom he had a feud for “killing” his “brother.”

“Come, come, try this skewer.”

Suddenly, a skewer of grilled squid covered in bright red chili powder was handed to Qin Liang.

Tang Yunle watched him eat and muttered to herself, “Actually, Ah Liang, you’re worried about me being assimilated, but I’m worried about you.”

“If I’m really assimilated, at least I’ll have you, my good brother, to look after me. I’ll still be able to get by for the rest of my life. But if you’re assimilated…”

The thought of Qin Liang being assimilated and treating her like a female pet to be played with at will, screwing her every day, and she wouldn’t even have the strength to resist, made Tang Yunle can’t help but shiver.

Too scary, I don’t even dare to think about it!

Hearing this, Qin Liang subconsciously followed her train of thought.

If he was really assimilated by this world, would he become like those native men, treating Ah Le as a female pet to be played with at will?

No, that was too conservative.

If he was assimilated, the worldview, values, and outlook on life that he had spent almost twenty years building in his original world would completely collapse and be reconstructed. That feeling would be no different from going completely mad.

The native men in this world see female pets as pets, tradable goods, and objects for venting their desires. Then what about him?

Qin Liang’s ice-blue gaze fell on the girl’s snow-white neck, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Completely mad, from an extreme conservative to an extreme radical.

Venting the extreme thoughts that were bound by the worldview of his original world, treating female pets as a consumable, a consumable for his own pleasure.

Before he died, he would drag more lives with him to die.

“Ah Le, you must not become a female pet, or I will kill you,” a low male voice suddenly came from the young man’s mouth.

Tang Yunle, who was eating happily, was stunned for a moment. Then she just treated it as a joke and became even more interested. She slapped her thigh. “Don’t say kill me. As soon as you find out that I’m about to be assimilated into a female pet, you can just find a hypnotist to hypnotize and brainwash me, reconstruct my personality, and turn me into the good brother Tang Yunle that you want!”

“Okay, you said it. If you really are feminized, I’ll reconstruct your personality.”

“Of course! A gentleman’s word is his bond!”

Tang Yunle chewed on her barbecue, not noticing the increasingly dangerous light in the young man’s eyes.

You think it’s just a joke, but in some people’s hearts, you’ve already made a promise.
