I shut down the computer and left the room. Yuxuan hadn’t found anything anyway, and I couldn’t be bothered to worry. What she was searching for was her own business—everyone deserves privacy and freedom.

In the kitchen, I got busy cooking. As I stir-fried the last dish, a dark head suddenly peeked into the doorway.

“What’s up, Yuxuan? Hungry?” I asked, stirring the pot.

“I’ve been starving all afternoon! Whose fault is it you came home so late, Brother? Hmph!”

Yuxuan’s voice and stomping feet reached my ears. Imagining her impatient, pouting face, a smile unconsciously crept onto my lips.

“Yuxuan, take these finished dishes upstairs first. Don’t forget the bowls and rice.”

“Ugh~ Brother just loves bossing me around!” she complained, but she sprang into action. Cheerful humming filled the air as she dashed in and out of the kitchen.

Compared to when she was male, Yuxuan had grown so much livelier. For a moment, I even thought… living as a girl forever might not be so bad.

I quickly crushed that idea. Forget Yuxuan—even if Mom spared me out of our decade-long bond, Uncle Lin would kill me for turning his son into a daughter.

Yeah. The first thing I’d do when my Superpower recovered was change Yuxuan back.

After silently deciding that, the dish finished cooking. I washed my hands, carried the last plate to the table, and finally sat down.

“Brother, you’re here at last! I’m starving to death~”

“Yuxuan, why not eat first? Why wait for me?”

She looked straight into Li Ze’s eyes. “How could I eat without you, Brother?”

I paused. “So… you didn’t touch that cake from this afternoon either?”

“I wanted to share it with you! I stored it in the fridge.” Yuxuan lowered her head. “Brother… that cake was from a sister, right? Is she your girlfriend?”

“My class monitor sent it. She’s always meddling—nothing special. And no, I’m not looking for a girlfriend right now.”

Yuxuan let out a happy hum and started eating. She devoured her food faster than usual, yet still with elegant grace.

Since becoming a girl that day, Yuxuan had changed so much. Whether it was the ability’s side effect or her mindset shifting, at least it was for the better. That eased my worries.

Dinner ended after nine. After my sister washed up, I placed today’s new clothes in her room. Even through the wall, her joyful giggles echoed—half an hour after she’d first seen them.

Back in my room, I watched the clock hand nearing ten and yawned.

My phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Sunny Su. I’d planned to avoid her, but after her help today, ignoring the call would be rude.
