Chapter 163 : Day Use, night Use, and Extended
Day Use, night Use, and ExtendedWhen it came time for the actual operation, just as Chen Zixuan expected, as soon as he got up, crimson blood clotted with a hint of black-brown ooze slid down her thigh, trickling to the floor and pooling into a deep red stain.
Carefully peeling off the troublesome shorts that were stuck to her legs, she was left wearing nothing but a loose black shirt, her **blood-stained feet slowly making their way to the bathroom outside the room.
Because this was a small old apartment, the distance was usually nothing, but now, it felt as arduous as running a marathon for several kilometers – each slippery, sticky step leaving another bloody footprint behind.
Her hands and feet were icy cold, yet the insides of her thighs burned with a raging fire.
This body's performance in real life was way too different from the game...
Finally, when she reached the tightly-shut frosted glass door of the bathroom, she felt as though all the blood in her body was about to drain away.
Twisting the paint-chipped doorknob, she trudged inside with heavy steps.
Right inside the bathroom was the sink, with a half-length mirror above it on the wall. Chen Zixuan leaned on the edge of the sink and made her way to the mirror.
Under the dim light, the reflection showed a girl with magnificent silver hair.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen, standing at around 156 centimeters, a good half a head shorter than Chen Zixuan's previous height.
Delicate, willow-leaf brows, long, curled lashes, a lovely high nose, and pupils as clear and deep blue as the finest gemstone, reminiscent of the sea.
Just like in the game, the hair was a beautiful pale silver, giving off a faint metallic luster, slightly wavy, and cascading messily down to her waist.
Perhaps because she'd just woken up and hadn't had time to tidy up, several strands of hair stubbornly stuck out. She tried to smooth them, but they refused to cooperate.
Apart from this, maybe due to excessive bleeding, the reflection in the mirror showed a sickly pallor, her once-rosy lips completely drained of color. She looked extremely frail – bearing a kind of withered beauty that made one feel sympathetic, just like a certain girl named Qiong.
Even after seeing this face countless times, whenever Chen Zixuan looked again, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly—it truly was a rare beauty in this world.
Looking so exquisite at such a youthful age, it was hard to imagine how stunning she would be when she grew up, once her petite frame filled out.
Chen Zixuan raised a hand and lightly brushed her own cheek.
The girl in the mirror did the same, lifting her slender right hand and gently trailing her fingertip over her delicate face.
Haaa...
Letting out a short sigh, she gave up thinking, turned on the shower, and while waiting for the water to heat up, began unfastening the buttons of her black shirt.
After transforming into this body, her old men's shirt now felt overly large, hanging loose and baggy over her petite frame.
As soon as she undid the buttons, the shirt slid from her shoulders, revealing skin as milky white as cream.
Her chest wasn't big—barely there, actually—just a bit pinker than it was when she'd been a boy.
Nothing worth looking at.
After taking off the upper shirt, she set to removing her shorts as well. This step was tricky—the damp fabric clung tightly to her delicate skin, and peeling it off felt horribly weird and almost unbearable.
Not to mention, the smell of menstrual blood was truly awful.
Especially with a highly sensitive nose, and in a small, unventilated bathroom, the heavy, iron tang in the air made her wrinkle her nose and hold her breath repeatedly.
Whoever said girls always smelled nice—show yourselves!
With all her clothes off, the water was hot enough now. Although it was the height of summer, Chen Zixuan knew at least not to shower with cold water during her period.
The 38-degree hot water poured over her shoulders, washing away the bloodstains little by little. As she finally relaxed, she suddenly felt warmth at her lower belly—another bright red stream trailing down her inner thigh.
Great...
Turns out, not only is cold water off-limits during a period, but even hot showers are hopeless.
Chen Zixuan took note of this lesson.
Being a girl was trouble, indeed—this only strengthened her resolve to turn back as soon as possible.
Just letting the blood keep flowing was no solution. She could never wash clean at this rate.
After two minutes of fighting her new body, Chen Zixuan finally gave up, hurriedly wiped off her damp skin with a towel, tossed all the dirty clothes into the basket at the door, and walked stark naked back to her room.
Back in the bedroom, the first thing she did was snatch a wad of tissue from the bedside table, wad it up, stuff it under her butt, and clamp her thighs together, hoping to slow the bleeding for the time being.
I need YIMAJIN, now.
That's right—as a noble Vampire, what Chen Zixuan needed most was a sanitary pad that cost just a few bucks.
She'd only ever seen them in convenience stores.
Whenever female customers came to buy them, store policy said you had to pack them in an opaque black plastic bag to avoid embarrassment.
If only I'd known I'd end up like this, I would've bought a pack for myself as well.
Feeling frustrated, she stared in annoyance at her dazzlingly white thighs, lost in thought.
Sure, Gu Yanxi who lived next door must have some, but asking her in her current state? That'd be courting death.
But she didn't even have clothes to wear, let alone try to go out, leaking blood everywhere—it was out of the question to buy them herself.
If someone was going to deliver them, that person would have to meet two conditions:
They couldn't know Cecilia, and they had to be able to keep it secret.
After thinking for a while, a name she'd nearly forgotten resurfaced in Chen Zixuan's mind.
A plainly dressed girl with thick braids and black-rimmed glasses.
Lin Wei.
Maybe it really would work if she asked Lin Wei to deliver them.
Thinking of this, Chen Zixuan felt as though she'd found a lifeline, quickly grabbed her phone, entered the lock screen password, and opened WeChat, which she hadn't logged into for days.
Ever since the embarrassment with the photos last time, Lin Wei hadn't messaged again, and Chen Zixuan wasn't sure if she should reach out.
But, after just a short hesitation, she realized she had no choice, so she gritted her teeth and quickly typed:
"Lin Wei, are you busy right now?"
After hitting send, Chen Zixuan felt as if all her strength drained away, collapsing lifelessly onto the bed behind her.
All she could do now was leave it to fate.
Thankfully, less than a minute later, her phone vibrated in her palm.
Lin Wei replied.
[Lin Wei: N-no, I'm not busy. What's up?]
Holding the phone in both hands, Chen Zixuan hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to begin.
I turned into a girl, and now I've got my period, but there aren't any pads at home. Can you bring me a pack?
If she dared say that directly, she'd definitely be taken for a lunatic.
Finally, after careful consideration, she concocted a reasonable excuse, checked it repeatedly, and finally sent it:
[I went out of town for a few days, so my cousin is at home now. I think she just got her period, but there aren't any pads. Can you bring her a pack?]
"... No, that's not right."
Staring at the message she'd just sent, Chen Zixuan thought something was wrong, so she quickly sent another: [I'll pay you, you won't be doing it for nothing.] At last, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That should be fine.
Meanwhile, in the restaurant kitchen where she was hiding from the summer heat, Lin Wei stared at the message, two large question marks practically floating over her head.
That thing? What thing?
She was about to ask if it was a period, but then remembered Chen Zixuan was a boy, so asking something like that would be awkward. Uneasy, she pinched her own cheek and decided to approach it a bit more indirectly.
[Lin Wei: Did your cousin say what brand she uses, or if she needs day use, long day use, or long night use ones?]
Of course, Chen Zixuan had never used sanitary pads before—how would she know? Her face froze, totally stumped.
When she worked at the convenience store, she'd sold them several times, but the customers always chose for themselves. All she did was scan and bag; she had no knowledge or experience of this sort.
She never imagined that, after becoming a girl, the first thing she'd have to learn was how to buy sanitary pads.
Maybe worried Chen Zixuan wouldn't understand, Lin Wei soon sent a follow-up message:
[Lin Wei: Day use is 240mm, long day is 275, night use is usually 480, all in millimeters.]
That actually made sense.
Day use was for daytime, night use for sleeping, and long ones, maybe, had better leak protection due to being longer?
Yes, that must be it.
Estimating her own bleeding, Chen Zixuan decided that neither the standard 240 mm nor the 275 mm long day use would suffice at this point.
Just like the caliber of an artillery barrel, the 480 mm night use filled her with a sense of security.
[Chen Zixuan: Just get the long night use. Any brand, it's up to you. Let me know how much and I'll send you the money.]
Soon, Lin Wei replied with an "OK" emoji.
Then she asked:
[Lin Wei: By the way, did your cousin say how many packs she needs?]
Chen Zixuan had no idea how long her period would last. Estimating five pads per day and two at night, she decided to get ten packs to be on the safe side.
[Chen Zixuan: Get me ten packs to start with. I'll transfer you the money.]
Having said that, she opened the transfer function and sent Lin Wei 500 yuan.
That would easily cover ten packs of pads, but Lin Wei deserved a tip for going through the trouble. At this point, Chen Zixuan couldn't be bothered to haggle.
On Lin Wei's end, as she looked at Chen Zixuan's message and the noticeable WeChat transfer, a huge question mark popped up in her little head once more.
Buying ten packs of night use pads in one go... are you stocking up from me?
Though she felt confused, Lin Wei would never refuse a request from Chen Zixuan.
It was just after lunchtime, and there were few customers left, so after letting her parents know, Lin Wei took off her Apron, grabbed a parasol, and headed out into the blazing July heat.
Chen Zixuan's apartment complex wasn't far—about eight or nine hundred meters away—and this was a residential area, so there were plenty of shops nearby, with a convenience store every few dozen meters.
Walking under her umbrella, Lin Wei soon passed the first store.
Through the glass door, a twenty-something male clerk was slumped behind the counter, absent-mindedly watching short videos on his phone.
Lin Wei hesitated outside but decided to skip this store.
After all, she was buying a private item like pads; best to find a store with a female cashier for less embarrassment.
Lin Wei had trouble communicating, especially with males.
She passed another two convenience stores, but both were also staffed only by men. She didn't see a single female employee.
Seeing this, Lin Wei trembled all over despite the heat, cold sweat soaking her as her hands and feet went numb.
Can't this society get any better? What do we girls have to do to survive? Tears sprang to her eyes uncontrollably. This country was full of oppression against women, and even in a big city like Xijiang City, she couldn't find a single female employee in a convenience store. When would women ever truly stand up?
Finally, at the last convenience store along the route to Chen Zixuan's apartment, Lin Wei spotted a forty-something auntie and finally breathed a sigh of relief, pressing a hand to her chest as she quickly walked inside.
"Girl, what do you need? Auntie will help you," the middle-aged lady warmly greeted her as soon as she entered.
"Um... I'll look for myself,"
Lin Wei stammered, blushing at the unfamiliar enthusiasm.
"All right, all right, you go ahead and look, then," the auntie replied.
After a lap around the small store, Lin Wei arrived at the sanitary napkin shelf. According to Chen Zixuan's request, she carefully began to pick out products.
Since it was for Chen Zixuan's cousin, she had to be extra thoughtful.
Lin Wei's heart fluttered with anticipation.
She'd never heard of Chen Zixuan having a cousin before—could this be their special little secret?
If only she could build a good relationship with this "sister," then maybe she'd have a better shot with Chen Zixuan down the line! Go, Lin Wei, you can do it!
Encouraging herself inwardly, Lin Wei decided to do her best and chose the same brand she always used, hoping to win the cousin's favor.
That's right, the national favorite—Huyi Bao, beloved from girls of fourteen to grandmothers of eighty!
Even though Chen Zixuan had sent her 500 yuan, Lin Wei had no intention of accepting the money. She decided to pay from her own savings as an investment in love.
Since the start of summer break, she'd saved up a few hundred yuan doing delivery work. Though it was a little painful to spend it, she figured it was necessary.
Arms full of extra-long night-use "Huyi Bao" pads, Lin Wei marched up to the counter and softly said, "I'll take all of these."
"... Girl, that's a heavy load... If Auntie may say so, you should see a doctor," the lady advised kindly.
...
Despite some hassles, Lin Wei succeeded in buying the ten packs of pads, all stuffed into a plastic bag she carried in her right hand.
Given the sweltering weather, even the security guard at the gate didn't hassle her this time. Wiping sweat from her forehead, Lin Wei followed her memory to Chen Zixuan's building.
First floor...
Second floor...
Third floor...
She could already see the apartment door, and her heart beat faster in excitement.
However, just then, with a sudden clank, the door next to Chen Zixuan's eased open.
Lin Wei froze.
Out walked someone she never expected.
Long, silky black hair, a stylish white dress, a tall and elegant figure, and a face delicate enough to be called Goddess-like...
Any student at their school would instantly recognize this girl.
Unlike the plain and unremarkable Lin Wei, she was almost always the center of attention at school, or not far from it.
But... why was Gu Yanxi coming out of the apartment next to Chen Zixuan's?
What was their relationship?
In a flood, a thousand questions crashed through Lin Wei's head, leaving her brain temporarily short-circuited as she simply stood there.
She didn't know how long she stood like that before a slightly puzzled female voice reached her:
"Group leader, what are you doing here?"
It was Gu Yanxi.
She, Lin Wei, and Chen Zixuan were all classmates, and Lin Wei was Gu Yanxi's group leader, responsible for collecting homework—a thankless job reserved for the compliant and agreeable.
Neither of the girls had expected this encounter. Gu Yanxi had just stepped out to pick up a package and check if her "little boyfriend" was eating properly, only to see the big-busted girl from her own class, suspiciously holding a large black plastic bag in front of the neighbor's door.
Wait, but the direction she was facing... was Chen Zixuan's apartment.
Noticing this, Gu Yanxi immediately became wary. Her female sixth sense picked up a whiff of something fishy, and her expression unconsciously turned sharp.
"Ah? I'm just delivering something!"
Lin Wei, still in a daze, shrank back at Gu Yanxi's intimidating aura, swallowing nervously as her voice grew meek with guilt.
"Who are you delivering it to? And what are you delivering?"
Gu Yanxi stared at Lin Wei suspiciously, knowing she had no real right to ask, but the surge of jealousy inside made her blurt it out anyway.
Unlike her usual gentle manner, when Gu Yanxi got serious or angry, her aura of authority was so intense even Chen Zixuan himself would shrink away—let alone the already timid Lin Wei.
"I... I'm delivering it to Chen Zixuan,"
Lin Wei whispered, stepping back, head lowered like a child who had just done something wrong.
She couldn't even explain why she responded this way—it was just an instinctive reaction from an animal sense of self-preservation.
Hearing this, Gu Yanxi's face grew even colder.
"I'm his neighbor, and I live next door. You can give me the stuff, and I'll pass it on to him."
She paused, thinking her tone seemed a bit harsh, and added: "Don't worry, I won't peek."
She really shouldn't have said that—now Lin Wei's nerves collapsed entirely.
There's no way you won't peek!
Normally, Lin Wei would have obediently handed over the bag just to get out of the situation.
It wasn't anything to be ashamed of, and it wasn't even for Chen Zixuan; why should it matter if Gu Yanxi saw?
But, sensing that this might be her last chance, some unknown courage surged up in her chest, and she looked up, bit her lip, and stubbornly refused: "No, this was Chen Zixuan's request. I have to deliver it personally."
Lin Wei's words were like jamming a stick into a beehive, pushing the situation into an irreversibly heated standoff.
Gu Yanxi's face flushed red. She searched her mind frantically for a comeback, but couldn't think of anything to say. All she could do was cross her arms and glare fiercely at Lin Wei.
Psychologically, a gesture like this is highly aggressive.
Why? Why was it that she, as Chen Zixuan's girlfriend, wasn't the one he reached out to in moments of need—but instead it was this well-endowed, outwardly shy, but secretly scheming minx?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became—her eyes stung, on the verge of tears.
So being busty really lets you do whatever you want?
But Lin Wei was already past the point of backing down, gripping the plastic bag in her hand with white knuckles, standing her ground no matter how nervous or panicked she felt inside.
This is Chen Zixuan's task for me—what business is it of yours?!
So the campus beauty gets to do whatever she wants, even rummage through other people's stuff?
While the two girls silently faced off, separated by just a door, the frail silver-haired girl inside Chen Zixuan's apartment was quietly leaning against the entryway, having heard every word of their conversation.
Her originally pale face became even whiter; she slowly closed her gem-like blue eyes and let out a quiet sigh.
It's over—completely over...
Even though her new body was much weaker, Chen Zixuan found that, just like in the game, her five senses had been greatly enhanced. Just sitting in the room, she could hear sounds from far away.
So when Lin Wei was still coming up the stairs, Chen Zixuan had already heard her footsteps. To prevent misunderstandings, she quickly found the white spaghetti-strap dress Gu Yanxi once gifted her and hurriedly put it on.
Yet, just as everything was about to go according to plan, the sudden clang of the iron door next door struck like a death knell.
In the second hour of her gender-swap, she encountered a crisis of epic proportions—a real-life hellish "harem war"...
