Lin Feng decided to stop while he was ahead, finishing his bowl of porridge and starting his workday.
The two-story building’s main structure was mostly completed, with only the fine details of decoration remaining.
Before long, Lu Jingzhe and Shen Xinyue returned from their run.
Both women were drenched in sweat.
“You two should come eat quickly. The porridge Lin Feng made is incredibly delicious,” Liu Mengyao called out.
Lu Jingzhe came closer and her eyes lit up: “This porridge looks so nutritious! Mr. Lin is indeed a divine doctor; this pot of porridge is comparable to many elixirs!”
As she spoke, Lu Jingzhe eagerly took a sip, and was immediately met with the refreshing aroma of various medicinal herbs.
“Lu Jingzhe, are you exaggerating that much? It’s just a pot of porridge,” Luo Keke chuckled, feeling that Lu Jingzhe was flattering Lin Feng.
“I’m not exaggerating. I study medicine and have delved deep into traditional Chinese medicine theories with my grandfather. I can tell just by the smell that this porridge is extremely nourishing,” Lu Jingzhe stated with certainty. After taking a sip, she became even more convinced that Lin Feng had meticulously brewed this porridge.
She could even identify some of the medicinal ingredients within.
“Is it really that good? Then I’ll have some too.”
Shen Xinyue, tired from her run, hadn't had much appetite initially, but upon hearing how good the porridge was, she became interested as well.
After finishing a small bowl of porridge, Shen Xinyue felt a warmth spread through her body, and her previous fatigue vanished.
It was replaced by a feeling of renewed vigor.
Inevitably, Shen Xinyue became even more curious about Lin Feng.
How could Lin Feng make such a simple pot of porridge so extraordinary? What was there that this man couldn't do?
“Xiao Feng Feng, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop working, I’m dying of worry!”
Just as the girls were savoring their porridge, a shrill voice rang out.
The girls looked in the direction of the sound and were all stunned.
Sun Pengfei, dressed vibrantly and adorned ostentatiously, walked over holding a large bouquet of fresh flowers.
He was wearing black high heels, grey stockings, and a black dress adorned with red flowers, making him look like an elderly old woman.
Most crucially, he was wearing a permed curly wig, bright red lipstick, and heavy eye shadow.
He looked even more fashionable than the grandmothers who danced in the square.
“Sun Pengfei, can you stop being so disgusting? Even if you’re not pursuing my Sister Yao Yao, why are you always bothering Xiao Linzi?”
Luo Keke felt like she was going to throw up the moment she saw Sun Pengfei.
Liu Mengyao also found Sun Pengfei increasingly bizarre. Dressing in such a feminine manner was one thing, but his persistent pestering of Lin Feng was truly unbearable!
“Why are you looking at me? Just because I’m good-looking doesn’t mean you can stare!”
Sun Pengfei noticed the beautiful girls all over the yard and swaggered over with a wiggle of his hips, completely unfazed.
Seeing this, the girls quickly moved far away from Sun Pengfei.
“You people, how could our Xiao Feng Feng possibly fancy you? You don’t even help Xiao Feng Feng with his work, you just know how to eat!”
“Look at me, I know to buy flowers for Xiao Feng Feng when I visit him. What can you do?”
Sun Pengfei pointed at the girls and reprimanded them.
“Sun Pengfei, we can have children for Xiao Linzi. Can you?” Luo Keke retorted, not backing down.
Sun Pengfei froze for a moment and then said with mock seriousness, “You’ve got a point there. I’ll have to get surgery sometime. After the surgery, I should be able to manage that.”
*Pfft!*
The girls burst out laughing.
Sun Pengfei actually intended to have children for Lin Feng.
What was he thinking?
Did he really consider himself a woman?
“Sister Yao Yao, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to vomit. This guy is too sickening, I can’t stand it!”
Luo Keke clutched her stomach, feeling nauseous.
“Miss Lu, aren’t you a medical student? Could you analyze this? What kind of strange illness does Sun Pengfei have?”
Liu Mengyao, suppressing her nausea, asked Lu Jingzhe.
Lu Jingzhe frowned and thought for a moment: “In medicine, people like him who are attracted to the same sex are usually due to a congenital chromosomal deficiency.”
“That’s not right. He used to be attracted to women; he only started liking men recently.”
Liu Mengyao was also a medical student and understood the principle, but Sun Pengfei was an exception.
“If you say so, then it’s acquired. There are several possibilities. The first is that he was harmed by a woman, leading to a dislike of women and a preference for men,” Lu Jingzhe explained.
“Sister Yao Yao, did you ever hurt Sun Pengfei? I don’t recall you doing so,” Luo Keke recalled carefully.
“No, I never hurt him.”
Liu Mengyao was very sure. Her attitude towards Sun Pengfei had always been consistent.
“Then there’s another possibility: his organs were damaged, preventing him from becoming a normal male, so he has to regard himself as a female.”
“It’s like the eunuchs of ancient times.”
As soon as Lu Jingzhe said this, the girls’ gazes instinctively turned towards Sun Pengfei’s crotch.
“Sister Yao Yao, I think this is possible. Sun Pengfei doesn’t even grow a beard anymore, and his voice is becoming more feminine. Has he really been castrated?” Luo Keke strongly agreed with Lu Jingzhe’s point.
“Hey, what are you guys discussing? Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Sun Pengfei became annoyed by their stares and yelled impatiently.
“Sun Pengfei, I’m going to ask you a question, and you must answer honestly.”
Luo Keke intended to find out exactly what was going on with Sun Pengfei.
“Ask away. For Xiao Feng Feng’s sake, I’ll give you the chance to interview me.”
Sun Pengfei flicked his hair, his pinky finger held in such a natural manner.
“Sun Pengfei, is that thing of yours still there?”
Luo Keke, feeling a bit embarrassed, asked directly.
“Huh? What thing? What are you talking about, you’re so mean!”
Sun Pengfei shivered and instinctively clasped his legs together, tightening his skirt.
“You know, that thing. The thing men have, and you might not.”
Luo Keke didn't know how else to describe it.
Lu Jingzhe, however, uttered a surprising statement: “In medical terms, this thing is called a yin…”
As soon as this word was spoken, Sun Pengfei looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and his entire demeanor changed.
