135 No responsibility for after-sales service

"Look at this!" 

Shen Tang blurted out almost involuntarily. 

Qi Shan took a step back cautiously, asking, "Look at what?" 

Shen Tang paused her action of pulling at her belt, and seeing Qi Shan's puzzled expression, she re-tied the bow on her belt. Somehow, he could detect a hint of embarrassment on the usually shameless Shen Xiaolangjun's face, and even her earlobes turned red as if they might bleed. 

"Yuanliang, hold on, don't say anything, just stand there and don't move. I'm fine, just pretend I got kicked in the head by a motorcycle." Realizing what she had just said, Shen Tang held her head in pain and raised her hand to stop Qi Shan from approaching. She also blamed him, "It's all because of you guys, always calling me 'Xiaolangjun, Xiaolangjun,' making me actually think I have that part." 

Qi Shan raised an eyebrow, "What exactly are you trying to do?" 

Shen Tang replied, "Initially, I was thinking of taking off my shirt." 

Qi Shan's eyes twitched. Enduring his impatience, he asked, "For what reason? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" 

Shen Tang slapped her thigh in agreement, "That's why I quickly changed my mind! With my body in this half-baked state of development, even if I took off my shirt, Lili's upper body probably looks more feminine than mine!" 

Honestly, admiring Lili's body wasn't unreasonable; those muscles, that figure, had a unique beauty. 

In contrast, Shen Tang—

She really had no curves at all. 

Going out with bare arms wouldn't attract any attention. 

Someone might even say, "No chest muscles or abs, visible ribs, and still dare to show it off?"

"So I had to reluctantly change my attention and think about taking off my pants instead."

"If Shen Xiaolangjun wants to dress up, he should choose a place himself."

The more Qi Shan listened, the darker his face turned. He turned around to leave, his experience telling him that Shen Xiaolangjun was starting to babble again—this Xiaolangjun was fine everywhere else, but unfortunately, he talked too much. 

"Yuanliang, wait, I really intend to be honest with you... no, to confess everything. If we miss this village, there won't be this shop." Shen Tang reached out to stop Qi Shan from leaving without any mercy. In the end, it was her sudden insight that made him stop in his tracks. She said, "I haven't even told Wu Hui, a secret even he doesn't know. Don't you want to know?"

Considering the secret "even Chu Wu Hui doesn't know," Qi Shan was willing to spare three points of patience to hear Shen Tang's nonsense. 

He said, "Go on."

Shen Tang continued, "Then I'll keep going—I was about to take off my pants, and then you asked, and suddenly I remembered something very serious—there's a difference between men and women. Although I'm still young, the Book of Rites says 'seven years, different seats.' I'm already eleven or twelve now. If I really did that, wouldn't it be a criminal offense? Luckily, I hit the brakes in time and stopped the crime."

After hearing this, Qi Shan chuckled coldly.

"What is Shen Xiaolangjun trying to express?"

"I just want to express my gender!"

Qi Shan sneered, "That's all you wanted to say?"

"Well... yeah."

Qi Shan rolled his eyes impatiently. "Go back to sleep early, Shen Xiaolangjun, and stop dreaming." 

Shen Tang's head was buzzing from his reaction, her expression blank. She had been so honest, so why couldn't he believe her? Qi Shan took a long stride, and Shen Tang hurried after him, unwilling to accept it. "What do you mean by 'dreaming'?" 

Did he have to wait a few more years until her body showed signs of menstruation or secondary sexual characteristics before he would believe she was a girl? 

"Is it that hard to believe I'm a girl?" Qi Shan was blunt. 

"It's hard, as hard as reaching the sky." 

To be honest, even Zhai Le looked more like a young lady than Shen Xiaolangjun. If Shen Xiaolangjun could stop causing trouble with the black-faced Lang in the pigsty, perhaps this witty talk would be a bit more credible. 

Shen Tang: "..." 

In her life, she had never suffered such a grievance! 

Resting on her bunk, Shen Tang, like a pancake, could not sleep because she couldn't resist sitting up and knocking on the door of Chu Yao. Chu Yao's sleep was so light that it wasn't long before he woke up and opened the door. He thought it was Lin Feng, but the time wasn't right.

He glanced over to see Shen Tang's sweat-drenched forehead and wondered if had misunderstanding her. Know very official W What.copyOf eyes closed Their sought understand we Ö out.statusText

As an old hand who has roamed the marketplaces, experienced all walks of life, and endured decades of ups and downs, Chu Yao has become quite grounded. However, being "grounded" doesn't mean being "grounded to the underworld." There really isn't another girl like Wulang in the mortal realm...

Listing the things Wulang has done...

Heh heh, who would believe it???

Seeing Shen Tang's mood was off, Chu Yao tactfully suggested, "If Wulang is fond of women's clothing, shall we ask the skilled old woman to make two pieces tomorrow?" 

Makeup can also be bought.

None of this is a problem!

Shen Tang covered her face with both hands, feeling like she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River: "Since neither you nor Yuan Liang believe me, I won't force it. But let me make it clear now, if someday you two really find out I'm a girl, don't come crying to me... I don't do after-sales service! Gender issues can't be changed with current technology."

After persuading away what seemed like a "nightmare" coming to make trouble with him, Chu Yao turned back, feeling that something was not quite right.

He knocked on the next door.

"Do you believe it?" he asked.

The answer from inside was a counter-question: "Do you believe it?"

Both inside and outside the room fell into a strange silence.

Naturally, both of them answered "no."

But—

Chu Yao: "If it's true, what should we do?"

"What are you going to do?"

Thinking about his lifelong reliance on his scholar's way, which he had only used once, he felt trapped and sighed lightly.

"It's fate, unchangeable."

Qi Shan sneered coldly, "You think if you can't change it, I can?"

Laughing Fang slept deeply and didn't come out to disturb them.
