Chapter 3 Section 3

Zhe Lang had a strange feeling that what he saw with his eyes and the sound he heard with his ears didn't seem to match up.Just like seeing Hollywood stars being dubbed into unexpected voices when watching the dailies on TV and feeling inexplicable, Zhe Lang feels similar to that now. "Speak up, QB," Mizuki said.The voice was completely unfamiliar, but it matched the movement of her lips just fine. "You too, Sugai, don't open your mouth so wide." Zhe Lang moved his eyes and looked at her several times from head to toe. "You are... Hiura, right?" He said reluctantly.

"Of course. However, I am no longer the Mizuki Hiura you know." A smile appeared on Mizuki's lips. "What's the matter with your outfit? And..." Zhe Lang pointed at the corner of her mouth. "Your voice." She lowered her head first, then raised her head immediately. "It's a long story. However, I just wanted to tell you this, so I was waiting there." Zhe Lang nodded, "In short, let's sit down and talk." Mizuki took a big step and sat down in the middle of the sofa.After sitting down, she slightly opened her jeans-clad legs.

Xu Bei's gaze followed her figure all the time, and he waited until she sat down before saying, "Your attire should be more than just casual clothes, right?" Meiyue showed her white front teeth and smiled, "No, I really want to wear it like this." Xu Bei scratched his temples, looking anxious. Zhe Lang sat next to Xu Bei and looked at Mei Yue's appearance again.There was a look of embarrassment on her face. "Uh...then..." Zhe Lang asked, "what's going on?" Mizuki put her hands on her lap and straightened her upper body. "When was the last time we saw each other?"

"Probably...about ten years ago?" Zhe Lang asked for Xu Bei's consent. "I guess so," Sugai echoed, "Hiura was still working at the time. I remember working for a construction company, right?" "You have a really good memory." The muscles on Meiyue's face relaxed. "That's right, I was still a pink-collar worker at the time. I have been in the company for three years, but my job is to photocopy materials for exams, or enter reports written by others into a word processor. This situation did not change until I resigned. " "I heard Risako say you're married."

"I got married in the autumn of my twenty-eighth year," Mizuki replied, "and I quit my job before that because it was so ridiculous. I joined that company because I wanted to do design, but in the end I didn't even have a job." Not even a blueprint. It made me realize again that women are being hit.” "That..." Xu Bei interrupted a little embarrassedly, "This matter may also be very important, but do you want to explain this outfit first..." "Do you want to know the reason for this attire first? My hairstyle, clothes, and voice?" "Well, to be honest, if you don't know this part first, how can you say... I always feel something is wrong, right?" Xu Bei said.His final "right?" was to Zhe-rang.

"I'll keep it as short as possible." Mei Yue looked at the two, "Why do you think I got married?" "Why? Of course it's because I like the other party." Xu Bei replied. "No, we got married on a blind date. The other party is a bank clerk, eight years older than me. The first impression is that he is down-to-earth. After getting married, it proves that my sixth sense is indeed correct. He is a hard-working person. However, I didn't marry him because I liked him. It doesn't matter who I marry, because my desire to marry is stronger than my desire to marry a good man."

"Why are you in such a hurry to get married?" Xu Bei asked. "In a word, I want to give up on myself. I want to realize that I am a woman and can only live as a woman. I thought that once I get married, I can give up. As long as I get married, I won't No more strange dreams." Zhe Lang listened to her confession in disbelief, unable to understand the meaning of her words immediately.On the contrary, it was her serious eyes that made him intuitively know what she wanted to say. "Hipura, you, shouldn't you..." Hearing Zhe Lang's whisper, Mei Yue silently nodded in response.Zhe Lang said repeatedly in his heart: No way....However, her current appearance told him that his instinct was correct.

"Huh? Huh? What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Xu Bei seemed to be still confused about the situation, and looked at the faces of Miyue and Zhelang in turn. "Ri Pu is not a woman anymore, is she?" Zhe Lang said.He said while thinking: How could such a thing happen?He didn't want to believe it. But she replied calmly, "That's right." "If you're not a woman, what is that?" Xu Bei pouted. "I don't know, what am I? I don't know too well. However, I consider myself a man." There was a strange smile on Miyue's lips.

Xu Bei still looked puzzled, and showed Zhe Lang a look for help. "Aren't you joking?" Zhe Lang confirmed to Mei Yue. She retracted her jaw, as if to say: Of course not. Zhe Lang took a deep breath, and said with the mood of announcing something important: "Is it the so-called 'Gender Identity Disorder'?" "Huh?" Xu Bei seemed to still not understand the situation.Zeran turned to him. "You should also know this proper term, right?" "Well, I know I know, but..." Xu Bei scratched his hair whose volume was beginning to thin. "How should I put it, it refers to people who are born with problems in that area, right? But, Hiura was not like that before. Aren't you an ordinary woman?"

"So," Mizuki said, "I have to explain it to you. However, you have to accept two things first. First, this is not a lie or a joke. Second, the suffering I suffered has been going on since long ago. so far." "Lao Tzu..." Zhe Lang recited the word Mei Yue uttered.Even after grasping the situation, Zhe Lang felt that his subconscious still refused to face up to this fact. "That's right," Mizuki continued, "I'm a man. I've been a man since long ago, before I met you."
