  "I had too much to drink last night, sorry..."

  A couple walked side by side on the road, the woman was a head shorter than the man. She wore a hood and her face was dull and haggard, making it difficult to discern her true gender. At this moment, she slightly raised her half-drooping eyelids and apologized to the slender young man wearing a long black windbreaker beside her.

  "Drunk? Then why was the first call unanswered, and all the subsequent ones were turned off? Did your phone automatically turn off?" Young Aizuo asked skeptically.

  "Hmm..." Ye Cai lowered her face, neither confirming nor denying, and only forced a smile.

  She glanced at her profile and Ai Ziyu lowered his head thoughtfully, already noticing that "he" was in a somewhat low mood.

  "Are Avi and them already playing? The three blacks?" Ye Cai thought for a moment, suppressing his voice to ask.

  Her voice was hoarse and low, Ai Ziyu couldn't help but glance at her sideways, asking with concern: "What's wrong with your throat?"

  Her eyes shrank back in a flustered manner, and Ye Cai's eyes drooped as she forced a smile and said, "I must have caught a cold..."

  Ai Zi's expression gradually weakened, becoming gentle and sympathetic. He lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and scratched the corner of his temple with his middle finger, saying: "Today, do as you please, I'll assist you..."

  ……

  After about six or seven minutes of walking, they arrived at their destination, "Sui Yuan" internet cafe.

  Ye Cai turned on the computer at the front desk, bought a pack of cigarettes, and then quickened his pace, following behind Ai Ziyu's butt.

  Ai Ziyou was walking towards the machine when he suddenly felt someone pulling him back. He turned around in confusion, only to see Ye Cai lowering his head, making it impossible to read his expression.

  "Huh?" With a hint of puzzlement and slight confusion, Aizi Yu raised her face to look at her.

  Ye Cai rummaged through her bag for a while, pulled out a cigarette, lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, with a guilty and self-reproachful expression handed the cigarette over.

  "What cigarette is this?" Ai Ziyu asked as he indirectly took the cigarette and twirled it between his fingers, unable to see the brand.

  Wow!

  Ye Chai handed over the fire, raised her face and puffed out her chest, glaring at him with a slightly impatient tone: "What's it to you what smoke is, just go ahead and smoke."

  Ai Zi You raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing as he stared at her warily and asked, "You don't even know the brand of this cigarette?"

  "What's with all the questions? Come on, light it..." Ye Cai hesitated and puckered her lips, raised her eyes again, and handed the fire back up.

  In front of so many people, Aizi You didn't want to make a scene about this issue, so he slightly bent down and accepted the blame.

  Took a few puffs, put down the cigarette butt, furrowed his brow and licked his lips, "What's the flavor?"

  "My dad wouldn't even smoke them because they were imported..."

  Ye Cai gave him a deliberate or unintentional glance, then turned away from him and walked to the back of the three rows of seats where his friends were sitting, took out the soft drinks he had just bought, and handed them out one by one.

  Three classmates sat against the wall, five people who got together because of competitive online games in class, actually also divided into small groups, such as Ye Cai and Ai Ziyu, because their parents' work units were close, they were the closest pair of bosom friends among the five.

  After spouting a few lines, Ye Cai sat at the outermost edge, while Ai Ziyu, who didn't care about positions, was located to her right. To tell the truth, if this were in the past, Ye Cai, who liked to indulge in loneliness, would have definitely fought for the position closest to the wall.

  But in Yecai's view, the current situation is a bit special. The main purpose is not to play games, but to share secrets, or in other words, to find someone to confide in.

  The target was Aizawa Eiko, who had been called more than ten times by Ai-chan before and after the incident.

  Actually, Ye Cai's attitude towards the director is that although she feels a bit guilty and apologetic, more than that, she is looking forward to it with anticipation. Because Ai Ziyu is her only and best friend, as well as childhood friends who can talk about anything, for Ye Cai, rather than becoming distant and estranged from each other because of the fact that she became a girl, it's better to fall into hell together.

  Furthermore, Ai Ziyu has a relatively gentle personality, likes quietness and dislikes noise. Although he can be quite true to himself in special situations, he is usually very polite and modest in his daily interactions. On the basis of his somewhat effeminate personality, if he also had sparse whiskers and a pair of golden-rimmed glasses symbolizing refinement, his overall image would appear even more elegant.

  But, coincidentally, he has a slightly longer yellow perm, exceptionally good skin, and a standard melon-seed face. Plus, as he himself said, a pair of Scorpio eyes that can pierce through people's hearts. With just these features, nothing extra is needed; just add a pair of false eyelashes, and his entire image will be like that of a cold, rich, beautiful woman. So, if he were to become a girl, he would definitely attract a lot of attention!

  "Hmm..."

  After finishing a cigarette, Aizi You himself appeared abnormal within five minutes of walking down the road. Subconsciously, he gently shook off the mouse, covered his forehead with one hand, furrowed his brow, and blinked repeatedly, his eyes dimming and flashing, as if on the verge of fainting.

  Ye Cai noticed the scene and immediately became spirited, adjusting her facial expression at once. She pretended to be concerned and walked over to ask: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"

  Ai Zi Yu finally turned his face away, wincing in pain, and said reproachfully: "Hiss... is there something wrong with your cigarette?"

  "Really?"

  Seeing the other party getting up shakily, Ye Cai hurriedly raised his face to explain: "I've already quit, nothing's wrong with me."

  "What's going on?" Su Xiaoqiu, Li Wei and Luo Li three friends heard the news, curiously looked over here.

  Ai Zi rubbed his forehead and waved his right hand at the crowd, indicating that he was fine, then stumbled out of the aisle.

  At this time, Ye Cai carefully poked his head out of the screen and chased after him, but saw that weak and thin back, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

  A faint smile played on the corners of his mouth, as if he was thinking of something, then immediately lowered his eyebrows and gazed intently at a small, mysterious cigarette box that he had secretly pulled out from his pocket with his right hand. He turned it over, nodded in satisfaction.

  ……

  Internet cafe restroom.

  Not very clean, the inner wall of the squat toilet is covered with orange-yellow urine stains, and the entire space is filled with an abnormally pungent smell.

  Aizi Yu pushed the door open with one hand and stood there in a daze, then he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, before pulling the door shut again and walking back to his original position with his head hung low.

  Ye Cai glanced at him and suppressed a smile for a moment, pretending to be angry: "Hurry up! The road is about to collapse."

  Ai Zi suddenly exploded in anger, glared with furious eyes, then threw a big white eye and returned to a limp posture.

  She raised an eyebrow and asked with a frown, "Are you really uncomfortable?"

  Ai Zi gave him a cold and slanted glance, then turned away with a dismissive look.

  "That... forget it! Heh heh, actually I'm not feeling well either. How about... going to my place?" Ye Cai's eyes sparkled with mischief as she raised an eyebrow.

  Ai Zi Yu was silent for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at her, nodded slightly, then obediently stood up.

  Ye Cai saw the situation and also stood up, waving his hand to the younger companions, "You guys play first, he's not feeling well..."

  There wasn't much deep friendship anyway, after a few perfunctory exchanges of pleasantries, the buddies readily handed over their leave passes.

  As Ai Zuo walked out of the internet cafe street, he casually turned left, but Ye Cai hastily pulled him back, "Where are you going!?"

  Ai Ziyou said impatiently: "I'm going back..."

  Ye Cai frowned and asked in a puzzled tone: "What's going on? You came all the way here to play with me today, didn't you?"

  "Hmm......" Looking left and right, Ai Ziyu was speechless.

  Ye Cai didn't care about his stance, grabbed the other person's arm and intended to drag him in the direction of her own home.

  "Tsk, don't pull, two big men..." Under such circumstances, Aizi Yu actually had the energy to feel embarrassed.

  "Hmm..." Looking left and right, Ye Cai wanted to argue back, but under pressure, he could only pout and glare at the other person.

  He let out a sigh, and Aizi listlessly waved his right hand before turning left with a very crisp stride.

  Ye Cai saw the situation and had no choice but to follow silently from behind.

  "What are you following me for?" Ai Ziyu turned back with a look of impatience.

  Ye Cai met the other's slightly menacing gaze, gritted her teeth and thought for a moment before saying resentfully: "Didn't you say it was because of smoking?" After finishing, she shrugged and glanced sideways, looking like a dissatisfied and wronged little wife.

  Ai Zi pursed her lips and turned back, still weak in body, walking unsteadily.

  "Uh...do you want me to support you?"

  Ye Cai felt embarrassed and chased after him for two steps before asking in a pretended nonchalant tone.

  Ai Zi You is her nickname in Chinese.

  ……

  Ai Ziyu's home.

  Mom and Dad aren't home.

  The residential building of the third ring unit in the city has a bit of history, and the decoration inside is quite luxurious, but the outside is not worth entering, it's mottled and old, nobody wants to spend money on it.

  Ai Ziyu opened the door and led Ye Cai into the bedroom, then fell onto the bed together.

  Ye Cai looked at him curiously.

  "Hey, are you dead?" He lifted up a bit of the other person's foot that was exposed outside the bed.

  "Don't bother me, go play by yourself..." In this state, Ai Ziyu's eyelids didn't even feel like moving.

  Ye picked up her mouth, felt boring, and went out of the bedroom to sleep on the sofa in his living room playing with her phone.

  Ai Ziyu's home has broadband and a computer, but his family is quite strict with him, so he doesn't have a computer of his own.

  Ye Cai came here out of curiosity, wanting to see the whole process of a boy turning into a girl. By the time it really happens, everything should be back on track and fine again.

  She lifted her head, turned around and took a glance into the bedroom. Seeing that poor kid lying motionless on the bed, Ye Cai became even more excited about what might happen next.

  ……

  More than four hours later, Ye Cai, who had been waiting with bated breath, was now lying on the edge of Aizi Yu's bed, his exhausted spirit sinking into a dreamland.

  And Ai Ziyu slowly woke up.

  She furrowed her brow and hummed, feeling a bit down, her whole body was uncomfortable, to be exact, it was a strange feeling, an unprecedented sensation.

  The most intimate and real feeling is the oppressive feeling in front of the chest, as if lying on two large and elastic water balls.

  "Hmm..."

  Lying lazily, he subconsciously brushed aside the water balloons in front of his chest that made him feel uncomfortable. Then, with one hand grasping an unknown object and her body tilted to the side, she widened her beautiful dreamy eyes.
