Lin Jin's mood was not good. When he woke up and turned his phone’s front camera to take a picture of himself. Previous facial transformations mostly targeted his acne marks and the fuzz on his face, but this time was different.
The first transformation got rid of his acne scars. The reason why he became prettier later was simply because his face rounded out a bit from gaining weight or his body became more feminine. The second time just refined Lin Jin's features further, and along with some baby fat still on his cheeks, he looked even more beautiful.
Before today, he was in the state of his second transformation. Even with short hair, people would mistake him for a woman.
Today was the third modification... This time, it seemed that the changes were not focused on the outer skin, but on the shape of his face and features.
Lin Jin, who originally had eyes as big and watery as a girl's, now looked even more beautiful. His eyelashes seemed to have grown longer, equivalent to the effect of using mascara. His somewhat flat nose was also more prominent, and his lips were even more exquisite and cute. Even his slightly prominent ears had become more flattering. The somewhat rigid facial shape he had inherited from his parents was now rounder after the modification. Overall, Lin Jin's features were a bit more three-dimensional, but due to the changes in his facial shape, he looked even more beautiful...
If his previous facial modifications were like adding two layers of beauty filters on Lin Jin, then this modification was basically like Lin Jin getting an overnight cosmetic surgery.
F*ck, although the change wasn't that big, his dad would definitely be able to tell at a glance that his son now looked even more like a girl, right?
Lin Jin's face looked a bit grim. His dad was already watching TV in the living room, and he had no choice but to go out and greet him.
Besides, he had to go grocery shopping in the morning.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin finally managed to calm his restless heart. He changed out of his pajamas, put on his usual men's clothing, and wore a hat. But then he suddenly froze.
Lin Jin hadn't noticed it while looking at his phone, but when he touched his hair, he clearly realized it had grown quite a bit overnight.
Short hair is usually prickly, but when he touched it just now, he found that it was much softer and longer. Using his fingers to measure it, he realized that his hair had grown to the length of two finger joints.
Before, his hair was less than one finger joint long.
Who knows, maybe after this winter break, his hair would grow back to the length it was before the holidays.
Lin Jin put his hat aside. Since his hair had grown, there was no need to wear a hat anymore.
Walking out of the bedroom, Lin Jin glanced at his dad half-lying on the sofa and greeted him, "I'm going out to buy groceries."
Buying groceries had become a daily routine for Lin Jin. After greeting his dad, he didn't mind that his dad didn't respond. He walked into the kitchen, picked up a shopping basket, and left the house.
Thank goodness dad didn't look at me, otherwise, he would have definitely exploded again.
During this time, Lin Jin had once again gotten familiar with the vendors in the marketplace. The word "again" is used here because Lin Jin had known them for a long time. He was so familiar that he could just say hello and take a few onions or cloves of garlic. After all, he had started grocery shopping when he was just a teenager, and those uncles and aunts would usually take care of him a bit. However, since Lin Jin looked so different upon his return, those uncles and aunts couldn't recognize him at all, so he had to rebuild these relationships.
"Little Lin, what are you buying today?" An aunt saw Lin Jin stand in front of her stall and immediately put on a smile, asking him, "Do you want some water spinach? Today's water spinach is definitely tender."
"Um... let me have a look."
Lin Jin never liked to haggle over prices when buying groceries. After all, this isn't like buying clothes or items worth hundreds. At most, haggling over groceries could save a few or a dozen yuan, or even just a few cents... Lin Jin simply didn't have the patience for that. However, because of this, the uncles and aunts at the market would usually throw in some extra onions, ginger, and garlic for him.
Lin Jin actually didn't like the marketplace, especially these less formal ones. Although the vendors were all very kind, and you could even ask them to slice the meat or grind it, the problem was that the environment was really messy and dirty.
The ground was full of dirty water and rotten vegetable leaves, and all kinds of strange smells from seafood and meat mixed together, which really made people not want to stay any longer than needed.
"Lin Jin?"
"Huh?" Suddenly hearing someone call his name, Lin Jin turned his head and saw a man who looked like a college student standing at the entrance of the market, waving at him.
"Who are you?" Lin Jin stood in place, squinting at the man.
"We were good friends in middle school, and now you've forgotten about me?" The man said, smiling as he approached Lin Jin.
Hmm... now that he mentioned it, the guy did look somewhat familiar.
This man was not handsome, but not ugly either. He was a short and chubby fellow, so chubby that you couldn't even see his neck. His face was filled with flabs of fat, but there was no sense of malice. Instead, he actually seemed gentle like a big bellied Buddha.
After pondering for a while, Lin Jin could only shrug his shoulders honestly "I forgot."
Since Lin Jin's middle school was close to his home, many of his classmates actually lived in nearby residential areas.
"So you really forgot about me?" The Buddha like man had an awkward expression on his face. He let out a couple of dry laughs and rubbed his almost hairless head.
Speaking of which, there weren't many chubby kids in his middle school class, but none of them looked like the guy standing in front of him now.
"I was your deskmate, don't be dumb." Though he teased, his smile was gentle, devoid of any aggression. However, there was something unsettling about his gaze.
It was a blatantly disconcerting look, giving Lin Jin the eerie impression that the man wanted to strip him bare.
Lin Jin slightly furrowed his brows. Although his initial impression of this guy was not bad, the uncomfortable gaze made him want to hammer the guy's head.
The man had casually mentioned being Lin Jin's deskmate, but in reality, Lin Jin had been deskmates with most of the boys in his class. Back in middle school, there were no strict seating assignments, and he was a bit of a bully, not listening to anyone and sitting next to whoever he found agreeable.
"Do you want to come over to my place?"
"No, I still have to buy groceries." Lin Jin looked at him cautiously. Before noticing the man's gaze, he hadn't been so guarded, but now he felt as if the guy might be a scammer or even a human trafficker.
This was just a small county town, and the public safety was not great. While news of homicides was rare, brawls involving weapons, street racing, and even blatant gambling dens were not uncommon. It wasn't that the police didn't care, rather, when they did respond, they usually only managed to catch a few accomplices.
Just a few months ago, Lin Jin had even seen news of a gambler from his county who directly stormed a hospital with a knife and killed people.
"I'm going home now." Having mostly finished his shopping, Lin Jin didn't hesitate to turn and leave.
This fat guy is definitely bad news! But considering there were so many people around the market, it seemed unlikely that he would do anything outrageous.
Motherf*cker, you can't even go grocery shopping without running into stuff like this.
