Chapter 16: Female Clothing is an Abyss
“Sigh… Shuangxing, what kind of expression is that?”
After comforting Xia Mo, Luo Shuangyue returned to her room, feeling that her previous attempt to gain an advantage had backfired, only to find her sister’s gaze was odd.
How to describe this gaze? It was as if some undesirable hobby of hers had been discovered.
Strange, too strange.
“Bro, although your physical condition is great, don’t forget you’re a man.”
Luo Shuangxing pointed at the clothes Luo Shuangyue was wearing, a look of deep concern on her face.
Now Luo Shuangyue understood, but she was also a bit confused.
What’s wrong with my clothes? Isn’t this normal?
“I didn’t forget. What are you talking about?”
“Look at you, still trying to deny it. This is female clothing, bro! There’s only a zero or countless times for female clothing—if you wear this now, who knows, you might sneak away and wear a little dress behind my back!” Luo Shuangxing placed her hands on her hips, stating that she needed to nip her brother’s bad habits in the bud.
Female clothing?
Luo Shuangyue looked down at her outfit: black shirt and black pants, not revealing at all. How could this be considered female clothing?
“Where is the female clothing?”
Yes, she did secretly stash some female clothing at the bottom of her wardrobe, and if Luo Shuangxing found those clothes, she might indeed struggle to explain herself.
But the outfit she was wearing now could hardly be categorized as female clothing, right?
“This is a unisex outfit I bought at the clothing market.” Luo Shuangyue insisted that what she was wearing was not female clothing.
“Really not?” Luo Shuangxing narrowed her eyes, skepticism written all over her face.
“Really! I’m not a freak.”
Luo Shuangyue did not have a penchant for wearing female clothing. Even if she was born with a feminine physique, she would not consider female clothing an everyday hobby.
If she wore female clothing, it would be out of necessity for work, and she would only reluctantly pull out those hidden treasures when absolutely required. Even then, she would try to avoid particularly girlish garments like skirts or long stockings.
In summary, although she was no longer a man, Luo Shuangyue still retained a thread of masculine dignity in her heart!
Luo Shuangxing looked at her brother, half believing and half doubting.
Although her brother appeared confident, she still found it hard to trust his words.
What could she do? After all, her brother had inherited their parent’s exceptional looks, making him naturally suited for cross-dressing!
“Bro, if you really can’t hold back, I’m not saying I can’t…”
“I really don’t have that idea, hurry back and do your homework!” With a firm grip on her sister’s shoulder, Luo Shuangyue sternly pushed her younger sister out of the room.
Can’t you trust your brother a little? Look at your brother’s masculine appearance, would he wear female clothing?
Casting a glance at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, the white-haired girl in the reflection showed absolutely no sign of masculinity, looking more like a girl trying hard to hide her gender…
Alright, Luo Shuangyue admitted that she was indeed a bit effeminate now, but the masculine spirit inside her still existed!
“Sigh, I didn’t want to be harsh earlier. It seems I need to add a bit of spice for Xia Mo tonight…”
Initially, Luo Shuangyue had planned well, to play a perfect three-hit combo on Xia Mo, completely crushing her belief in being a magical girl. Unfortunately, in the end, Luo Shuangyue softened her heart, and the final blow turned into consolation.
With this dose of encouragement, Xia Mo might regain her confidence and get back up to keep striving. Luo Shuangyue didn’t want her plan to end like this.
So, since the three-hit combo didn’t succeed, she would add a fourth hit!
Covering half her face with her right hand, Luo Shuangyue directed a very wild, dramatic smile at her reflection in the mirror.
“Get ready! Xia Mo!”
The idea Luo Shuangyue came up with was straightforward: use the identity of Dark Butterfly to find Xia Mo and make her realize that, because of her, her friends and family were in danger.
If she didn’t want her good friends to get hurt, she had to obediently give up the identity of a magical girl. The magnanimous Dark Butterfly would even let her off the hook.
“I just gave Xia Mo some confidence; at this moment, my status in her mind must be high. If Dark Butterfly appears using my safety to threaten Xia Mo, it will definitely have a great effect.”
After mentally calculating a bit, Luo Shuangyue thought she was a genius. With such a smooth combo, Xia Mo would be completely at her mercy.
Even if Xia Mo was not willing to give up her identity as a magical girl right away, she would undoubtedly feel guilty. At that time, if she just gets a little injured… Hehe.
Luo Shuangyue could already imagine Xia Mo holding her injured self, crying out, “I will never be a magical girl again.”
Little Xia Mo, you can’t escape from my grasp!
Whoosh!
Luo Shuangyue excitedly opened her wardrobe and dug out the female clothing she had secretly bought just a few days ago.
The previous female clothes had already gone to heaven along with her old home; now, the clothes in Luo Shuangyue’s wardrobe were all newly purchased.
“The female clothing in my wardrobe exceeds the male clothing now…” Looking at her somewhat empty wardrobe, Luo Shuangyue’s expression stiffened.
Now she lived in the temporary housing assigned by the Magic Department, and once the old community was rebuilt, she would have to move back.
This was also the reason Xia Mo was staying at her place; recently, there had been frequent magical beast incidents, and the temporary housing available at the Magic Department was running low. After discussing with Luo Shuangyue and the others, they arranged for the three of them to stay together.
Since it was a temporary new home, there wouldn’t be too many belongings here. Previously, Luo Shuangyue had many inconspicuous old clothes in her wardrobe, but now those things were nonexistent.
If someone were to search her wardrobe, it would be easy to find the few pieces of female clothing she had hidden away.
“I hope the reconstruction over there will be completed soon…”
After carefully selecting, Luo Shuangyue made a decision. Since she would be using the identity of Dark Butterfly to meet Xia Mo, she naturally couldn’t wear overly neutral clothing.
That would clash with her current style.
White tones were also out of the question, as they were reserved for Bai Ye.
So she only had one choice—dark-colored dress paired with black long stockings like her boss wore.
“Female clothing is an abyss, and I have already fallen into it.” Hugging the clothes she would change into next, Luo Shuangyue let out a sigh.
Who would have thought that back in the day, she was a pure boy who would blush for half a day just for wearing long stockings, and now she could wear female clothing with a straight face and tell herself in the mirror that it was “normal.”
If it weren’t for the mutations her body underwent pulling her into so many things, perhaps Luo Shuangyue would have already come clean with her sister.
Hiding from family members who shared the same roof and lived together is truly an exhausting and challenging task.
