099. Enchanting Magic
==============================
After some playful scuffling, the duo settled down in the shallow water.
Or it should be mother and daughter now; Lin Nan’s transformation magic still had about ten minutes left.
The mother gazed at Lin Nan’s chest with a hint of pity, letting out a sigh, “When did you notice?”
“Huh?” Lin Nan finally calmed down a bit, the overwhelming shame dissipating, but he still felt super guilty next to his mom.
“Your chest,” she said with concern, “What kind of girl binds her chest? Isn’t that uncomfortable?”
“Well, living in the dormitory doesn’t give me a choice,” Lin Nan shrugged, using that as an excuse, even though in reality, he could just wear a sun-protective shirt to cover things up, binding was a bit overkill.
The whole girly transformation was just a little trick to hide his lower half, but sadly, he forgot that becoming a girl also meant getting a chest.
But his mom was oblivious, feeling terribly for Lin Nan, “I’ll help you borrow money for surgery soon, then you won’t have to struggle like this anymore.”
But I don’t want to!
I can magically change into a girl, and getting an ID would be easy with magic. Why on earth would I want surgery? What if the doctor messes up? I could be done for!
“I’ll save up myself. The family isn’t wealthy right now,” Lin Nan mumbled, looking down, avoiding his mother’s gaze.
His mom misunderstood his intentions, thinking Lin Nan was just being considerate and not wanting the family to be in debt.
With a pitiful smile, she ruffled Lin Nan’s hair, suddenly realizing, “Your hair… why is it so long all of a sudden?”
Lin Nan froze for a second. Thankfully, after living with Tu Junhui for a while, he had picked up a few skills in the art of excuse-making: “Wearing this swimsuit, I had to use a wig. Otherwise, people would think I’m a boy, and that’s just creepy…”
“Is that so?” his mom mused, remembering Lin Nan boarded the vehicle empty-handed, but now she questioned if she had been neglecting him all along.
Clearly, she wasn’t the most attentive mom.
Sighing again, she was about to say something but felt the ocean water was getting colder, so she suggested, “Let’s wipe off and change clothes in the tent, then get ready for bed?”
“Alright.”
With the unlocking time for the magic approaching, after drying off, it would be just about thirty minutes, but the problem was, on the way back to the changing room, he would revert to his male form.
Or rather, revert to male characteristics?
Maybe hiding under a towel would help?
Lin Nan approached the tent, wiping down his legs while sneaking glances at Uncle Liu chatting with his mom.
They looked just like a regular couple.
I wonder if my parents’ divorce had something to do with Mom’s infidelity? Though they didn’t have much feelings for each other, they were still legally married, which made Lin Nan feel a bit icky.
But Mom probably knew this, so she never revealed the truth in response to Lin Nan’s previous inquiries. Now, her relationship with Uncle Liu was just Lin Nan’s speculation.
Once he dried off, Lin Nan glanced at his magic, finding it ready to use, and his hair began to shorten while his chest rapidly deflated, causing him to feel utterly bleak.
Why am I so flat… This must be Lilith’s insecurities, huh.
Checking Lilith’s memories, it seemed she had quite the chest f*tish, and under the magic’s influence, her measurements were around a D cup. It’s understandable that she’d struggle with being flat.
Yet, Lin Nan didn’t share such fixations; before encountering Lilith, he barely had any notions of gender. Although he had seen various adult materials, he could never accept real people. It always felt disgusting.
And the only thing Lin Nan truly liked? Games, of course!
He had zero interest in women; after all, what could compare to a game? A single game costs tens of thousands, if not millions, why would some women think they could even hold a candle to that?
“Mom, heading to the changing room now!”
Now fully dried off, Lin Nan stood up, wrapping the towel around himself, trying to shield his short hair, flat chest, and lower half.
“Got it,” came the reply.
Lin Nan didn’t wait around, making a beeline for the changing room, hoping to walk slightly ahead of his mom to avoid raising any suspicions.
Thankfully, his mother didn’t have a clue about him, and out of guilt, she was particularly lenient and trusting of him now. Otherwise, he’d have a hard time explaining why his chest seemed to fluctuate, or why his hair occasionally changed length.
As his mom trailed behind, preparing to stand up, Lin Nan hurriedly bolted towards the changing room.
It had been half an hour since he last changed into swimwear. Unfortunately, this was a tourist town, and numerous visitors lingered, whether grabbing late-night snacks or casually strolling. Upon spotting Lin Nan, they paused, curiously glancing at him.
“Who swims at this hour?”
“Hey gorgeous, let’s connect on WeChat!”
“Why does he look kinda like a boy?”
“Those legs are just wow!”
Though his face lacked the typical masculine features and blemishes, some seasoned observers could still spot the giveaway details.
Like Lin Nan’s overly defensive, sharp eyes, or his oddly large joints and frame compared to typical girls.
While Lin Nan couldn’t hear their remarks, he could feel their eyes on him, causing the barely subdued embarrassment to rocket back to the surface.
So thrilling…
He pursed his lips, looking down, trying desperately to use the towel to cover his sensitive areas, but he had little to no luck with his legs, leading those curious gazes to settle on his shapely calves that could land him three years in prison.
When will I get used to these stares?
Lin Nan couldn’t comprehend why those born as girls loved wearing short skirts and could confidently rock a bikini at the beach. To him, it was just embarrassingly unspeakable.
Finally, his mother caught up, trotting right behind Lin Nan. Knowing he wanted to zip through that area, she didn’t say much, just kept tailing him.
Just when Lin Nan thought his embarrassment was about to explode, they reached the changing room.
He pushed open the door to the male changing room, saw it was empty, and was about to step inside when his mom yanked his arm, forcing him into the female changing room.
“What are you thinking going in there looking like this! Pay attention!” his mother scolded with a frown.
“I didn’t think…”
If earlier going into the changing room might have left him suspected of being a cosplayer, now wearing a snug swimsuit, he’d likely be labeled a creep.
Lin Nan felt his face heat up and didn’t respond much to his mom, hurriedly turning into one of the stalls.
The magic had been unlocked.
Inside the stall, he checked the magic again, letting out a sigh of relief.
He just didn’t want to end up on the surgery table; how did it get so complicated?
Plus, there was no telling how this magic might affect his mother.
