Ye Shuang didnât have the time to speculate and understand the thoughts of the Fang siblings. After all, her mission was to take Fang Fei back to Fang Mo. What happened after next was none of her business.
She found herself a new hotel to stay at. That night, she suffered through yet another memory influx, she only managed to fall asleep when it was almost 2 am. When Ye Shuang woke up the next morning, she received the first good news since the jade sculpture incidentâshe was finally a woman again!
She was so touched she could cry! She even purposely went into the bathroom to carefully examine her own reflection in the mirror. She looked prettier than before, but the changes werenât as dramatic as when she switched gender. There were only some slight advancements to her looks. For example, her eyelashes became longer, the line of her brows clearer, her pupils more watery, the line of her jaw more pronounced, and her skin more supple and soft⌠It was as if her whole person had been airbrushed using Photoshop. It was still the same face, just prettier.
âThis is the difference between gene improving and gene editingâ˝â Ye Shuang commented to herself as she wiped away the water vapor on the mirror. After the memory influx from the night before, she understood the difference between Ye Shuangâs male and female forms easily.
The female genes were merely building upon her native earth genes, even if they were optimized by the alien DNA, it was just an evolution of the foundation. However, the male genes were edited by adding the male strain into her DNA strain. Even though it still used her genes as the base, the sex chromosomes were created from nothing.
If one saw her flesh and blood as the product and the alien DNA as the expert, then Ye Shuangâs female form was a less-satisfactory product being improved upon by the expert. The expert built upon what was already there, so this took more time and the end result couldnât be completely different from its original form. For the male form, the expert practically had to start from nothing, and since there was no original form to deal with, the final result wouldnât be bogged down by the less-than-stellar pre-existing product⌠this was why Ye Shuangâs male form was more impressive than her female form.
I suppose one could say that the difference between the two is the time needed for the transformations to complete, the female form taking more time than the male form. In a way, I should be thankful that I had the male form to assume while the transformation for the female form was progressing, or else who knows what kind of form I would have taken during that time?
Ye Shuang nodded with satisfaction. She washed her hands and left the bathroom to pack her things and prepare to go home. Finally, home sweet home!
When Ye Shuang left the hotel, she felt that something was off, but she didnât think much of it. Her thoughts were completely occupied by the excitement of returning home. However, when she got off the bus and saw the shocked expressions on her neighborsâ faces, as well as the fact that the cup slipped from Ou Qianruâs fingers when she saw her walk through the door, Ye Shuang had to admit there was something wrong about her⌠But whatâ˝
Even though her looks did have a slight level up, it wasnât to the point where it couldnât be explained by a change in make-up or a spa tripâŚ
Ye Shuang swallowed the greeting that had reached her throat. She frowned in thought and instead asked carefully, âSister Qianru, whatâs wrong with youâ˝â
âYou, you, youâŚâ Ou Qianru pointed at Ye Shuang and the bags in her hands with a quivering finger, but the sentence never went beyond âyouâ. Ye Shuang hesitated. As she put down the shopping bags, aiming to ask in detail what happened, she bent over and saw the male clothing inside the bags, and her heart fell with a heavy thud. Suddenly, everything came to Ye Shuang with such startling clarity.
She lowered her head reluctantly to look at her clothingâŚ
Motherfâ! She had forgotten to change out of her male outfit!
Ye Shuang felt like weeping then and there. Habit is such a scary thing. Since she had been wearing male clothing for the past two days and she was too caught up in the sex change that had happened that morning, she absent-mindedly put on male Ye Shuangâs clothing without thinking much about it⌠The neighborhood aunties and Ou Qianruâs reactions could now be explained!
Ye Shuang felt the blood drain from her face. She knew her words would have little effect in this situation⌠because she had trouble convincing herself, much less others!
None of the Ye family members were home. The Ye parents were probably out at the morning market, and Little Brother Ye was still on his mission to fill up his summer break with as many crazy activities as possible. If not for the dramatic change that had happened to Ye Shuang a few days ago, he wouldnât have stayed home for the whole afternoon. Ou Qianru was considered family, so they didnât have to purposely stay back to cater to her.
However, it was also due to this closeness that certain things became difficult, things like⌠what if Ou Qianru went back to Mother Yeâs maiden family and announced to the whole world the sudden appearance of this handsome man? Would they all storm over to meet him and welcome him into the familyâ˝
Just as Ye Shuang was struggling to come up with an explanation, Ou Qianru had already recovered. Her face darkened, and she dashed toward Ye Shuang in two steps and pulled her into the living room. She asked, âYou⌠Have you told Auntie Ye about thisâ˝â
âWhat do you mean?â Ye Shuang was confused.
Ou Qianru smacked her on her head; she was furious because her cousin was so not protective of herself. âI mean, you spending a night with that man! Donât think you can lie to me, when your mother was out clothes shopping with him, I was there!â
Jesus Christ! Someone please come save me, how do I explain Iâm still as pure as driven snowâŚ
Ye Shuang felt like crying, but the tears wouldnât come. âI didnât spend a night with anyone, I just happened to wear the wrong clothesâŚâ
Ye Shuang herself knew how dumb that explanation was.

Naturally, Ou Qianru didnât believe a word of it. âFine, then explain to me, how did his clothes end up with you?â
ââŚâ
Ou Qianru sighed when Ye Shuang didnât answer. She continued in a calmer tone, âSince that man has gone clothes shopping with your mom, it means that your relationship should be quite stable already. However, at the end of the day, men and women are different; you have to learn to take care of yourself⌠By the way, when do you plan to bring your fiancĂŠ back to the Luo family so that your uncleâs family can meet him?â
Listening to the first part of the sentence, Ye Shuang thought she had escaped a tragedy, but before she could even sigh in relief, the sentence took a sharp and surprising turnâŚ
What the hell! When did I become my own fiancĂŠâ˝
