Chapter Fifteen: How Could You Be a Girl?!

Xu Ye’s mind was in chaos.

Countless thoughts flashed through his head at this moment.

A broken family? A gambling father? A sick mother? A young brother and a sensible sister?

The tea leaves at home were almost ready to harvest. “Brother, brother, buy some, okay?”

But that didn’t make sense. Who would keep a piglet for more than four years?

Even after being reborn once, Xu Ye was truly bewildered at this moment. He couldn’t help but tremble as he raised his hand and typed: “No, bro, how are you a girl?”

QQZJ seemed to roll her eyes: “You were fine just now, why suddenly play mute again?”

Xu Ye: “I… I’m not. Bro, answer my question first. How are you a girl?”

QQZJ: “Are you nervous? Your voice is shaking.”

Xu Ye: “You scared me so badly I failed to take off. My knee hit the desk.”

He rubbed his head furiously, like performing a Rasengan.

But that wasn’t the main point. The key was that this “brother” he had known for over four years… how did he suddenly become a girl?

Where’s your manhood? Don’t mess with me. Don’t joke like this!

Yet QQZJ quickly asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

“No problem. I just rubbed my head to the point it feels like a smooth plum.”

Xu Ye teased, but still couldn’t believe it and pressed, “Answer me first. How are you a girl?”

QQZJ retorted, “Why can’t I be a girl?”

“When I called you brother, you didn’t deny it.”

“Not denying ≠ admitting, okay?”

“Any inequality messes things up and only harms you! Wait… then why didn’t you deny it?”

QQZJ: “Guess.”

Guess?

How could I…

Wait, Xu Ye suddenly remembered.

He met QQZJ when they were in the first year of high school. Back then, they weren’t close at all. He was just terrible at games and clung to her like a lifeline.

Yes, QQZJ was a gaming expert, excelling at all kinds of games. That was why Xu Ye always thought she was a “gamer guy.”

But almost in the same year, he fell for Xu Ruowei.

She didn’t like him interacting with other girls… or more precisely, she was already emotionally manipulating him back then, though Xu Ye neither noticed nor cared.

From then on, Xu Ye cut off all contact with girls. If he had known QQZJ was a girl, they probably would have ended their friendship long ago.

And he had told QQZJ this before, so…

“I think you’re overthinking. What kind of relationship do we have? Even if you were a girl, I wouldn’t have stopped being friends with you back then…”

Saying this made Xu Ye blush.

Others might not understand, but he knew it himself.

Only now that he had been reborn would he think this way. Otherwise, with his old temper…

No one would believe him.

“What kind of relationship do we have?” QQZJ suddenly asked coldly.

Xu Ye paused, then forced a smile, “Good brothers.”

QQZJ sneered, “What kind of good brothers? The kind who can’t reach each other by phone?”

If this was before, Xu Ye would have eagerly followed up on that, but now…

Thinking of what came next, Xu Ye could only laugh awkwardly.

“Ha… ha ha…”

“I didn’t intend to tell you at first. After all, we’re just gaming friends. Even if you misunderstood, it wouldn’t matter,” QQZJ said.

“Then why did you suddenly change your mind?”

Xu Ye asked curiously.

“Because you’re stupid!”

QQZJ seemed a bit angry for a moment but quickly calmed down. “Because I want to. Because I’m happy, is that not okay?”

“Alright, alright.” Xu Ye knew arguing with a woman was pointless and quickly nodded to agree.

But she clearly said her mic was broken. How did it suddenly become because she wanted to and was happy?

So many things had happened today. His “brother’s” manhood had suddenly vanished, leaving Xu Ye’s mind in a mess. The question was on his lips but never came out.

QQZJ sighed helplessly and casually said, “Talk with me.”

Xu Ye picked up his phone and replied to a message, still a bit dazed, and blurted out, “Talk about what?”

“About you and your white moonlight. Did you really break up?”

Xu Ye wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but it seemed like she was almost laughing aloud after saying that.

Xu Ye rolled his eyes but felt embarrassed and helpless. “There’s nothing much to say. We did break up.”

QQZJ said decisively, “Be specific. I want to hear it!”

No… Bro, you weren’t like this before.

Xu Ye remembered clearly that he often shared daily stories about himself and Xu Ruowei with QQZJ.

But every time he just started, she would coldly reply, “Still playing? If not, we’re done.”

Because of that, Xu Ye thought she was aloof, as if she had no interest in anything except gaming.

Why such a sudden change today?

And a sudden change in both gender and personality?

Is today really not April Fools’ Day?

With these messy thoughts, Xu Ye was silent for a while before answering, “There’s really nothing to say. I just suddenly woke up and felt she didn’t deserve it. She wasn’t worthy of my effort or pursuit.”

He really didn’t want to say more.

First, saying more would be pretentious and embarrassing.

Second, he was planning revenge. If he accidentally let something slip…

After all, secrecy is success, and loose lips sink ships. Some things are better left unsaid.

“That’s why you should have buried her long ago. Haven’t you heard? The dead white moonlight is the perfect one.”

“Damn, that’s true. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“Want me to help you bury her now?”

“...No need.”

“Heh, can’t bear to?”

“No way. Just think it’s unnecessary.”

Come on, if you help me bury her, what would I bury myself for?

Besides, it’s not just her. I’d bury her whole family.

QQZJ: “Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet. Almost forgot.”

Xu Ye had just gotten back when Uncle Fu’s matter happened, and then he was called to play games. Could he forget dinner?

“Almost eight o’clock.”

Xu Ye: “Not hungry for now. I’ll eat later.”

“Are you really broken up with her?”

Xu Ye: “???”

He smiled bitterly, “Am I really that untrustworthy?”

“No way. Who told you to have so much dark history and a record?”

Xu Ye’s face darkened. He really didn’t want to bring up that dark history… well, mainly because he knew it too well and figured she wouldn’t believe him anyway.

So he just made up an excuse and changed the subject: “By the way, you’re in college this year, right? Which university?”
