Xu Yihan stood quietly behind him, watching him arrange the clothes.White T-shirt, white camisole, light pink underwear, denim skirt, gray leggings, black stockings... Xu Yihan couldn't help but imagine Deng Yuan wearing these clothes. What would it look like?A white camisole with a denim skirt, revealing round arms and slender legs, must be vivid and charming.But such Deng Yuan lived in such a room.

Deng Yuan packed his clothes into the canvas bag he brought with him, and walked to the dressing table—if that short plastic table can be counted as a dressing table.This time he just picked up a can of something unknown and put it in his bag.

At this time the door was pushed open, and it was the fat man.It was only then that Xu Yihan saw his face clearly. He looked to be in his 30s, his cheeks were full of bumps and acne marks, and because he was too fat, his eyes were squeezed into two thin slits.

Holding a bulging plastic bag in his hand, he said expressionlessly, "Your medicine."

After speaking, he threw the plastic bag on the bed, turned and left.

A small medicine bottle fell from the plastic bag to the ground. Xu Yihan picked it up and saw three small characters written on it: Ma Fulong

Deng Yuan grabbed the bag of medicine, kept his head down, and said, "Yihan, I packed it up."

Xu Yihan responded, "Okay."

Deng Yuan walked out of the room and said to the man sitting on the chair: "Wen Jia, then I'll...go first, you...pay more attention to your body."

Until then, the man finally showed some expression.He looked at Deng Yuan, then looked up at Xu Yihan, with obvious mockery on his face: "Deng Yuan, can he pay for your surgery?"

Deng Yuan shook his head quickly: "He's just my younger brother."

"What is love?" the man said indifferently, "I told you a long time ago that people like us will be like this in this life, do you remember?"

"..."

"If you don't believe me, let's go and see - I've seen you like this a lot."

Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan went home, and Deng Yuan told Xu Yihan about Wenjia on the way back.

Wen Jia has been running a snack bar for more than ten years.He is also gender cognitively impaired. He started taking medicine at the age of 17 and saved money for surgery. At the age of 29, he finally had breast augmentation surgery. Three years after the operation, the colloid had problems and was taken out again.

"I knew him many years ago, on the Internet," Deng Yuan said in a low voice, unable to detect emotion, "at that time he was still very thin, but later he gained weight because of taking medicine, some medicine will make people Increased appetite."

"He knows a lot of people in the circle, and many people have been helped by him. He...is a very good person, but his life is not good. He used to take too much medicine and ruined his body."

Xu Yihan wanted to ask how Deng Yuan got together with Wen Jia, whether Deng Yuan had also been helped by Wen Jia, why he beat Wen Jia before since Wen Jia was also transgender, and also wanted to ask Deng Yuan all these years What exactly happened—but when he looked at Deng Yuan's glinting eyes, he couldn't ask again.

He already understood why Deng Yuan wore makeup.

Because the place they were going to was so dilapidated and dirty, and he wanted to be as decent as possible.Makeup, perhaps one of the few ways he can make himself look better.

Back home, Xu Yihan helped Deng Yuan pack his things.

He took out the medicine bottles and boxes in the plastic bag one by one: Chromatography Dragon, Progalol, Maflon, Premarin, Chinine Huang, Diane 35... Some of them only had one or two pills left, and some of them had only one or two pills left. There is more than half a bottle.This is the first time he has seen such a strange scene. It is not surprising to say that a man wears women's clothes, but a man actually uses these medicines - contraceptives, sexual function suppression, and progesterone-increasing... The scene made him linger in his heart, and the feeling was indescribable.Every medicine bottle and every medicine box is like a silent and heavy narration.

Xu Yihan took a deep breath, got up and walked to the bathroom.Deng Yuan was unscrewing the jar of unknown cosmetics he brought back.

Xu Yihan saw him take out a small piece of translucent ointment and put it in his palm, and put his hands together.

"What is this?" Xu Yihan asked.

"Makeup remover cream," Deng Yuan smiled at him, as if a little embarrassed, "melt it with the palm of your hand first, and then remove the makeup."

"……Oh."

After a while, the paste turned into a clear liquid. Deng Yuan put his palm on his face and rubbed it slowly.The bright milky white light of the bathroom fell on him like a holy light.

Xu Yihan stared fixedly at Deng Yuan, at this moment, he felt that his heart was like that makeup remover cream, slowly melting in Deng Yuan's warm palm.

Chapter 22

Pink Meow Meow has updated Chapter 3 of "I Don't Want Superpowers".

"After the bland opening of the second year of Yun and the sudden change of Lu Weifu's painting style, "I Don't Want Superpowers" finally reveals the charm of urban soft science fiction under the pen of Pink Miaomiao. The protagonist R adds a bit of excitement and surprise to this story. To be honest, in my opinion, among the three authors, Yun in the second year is not serious enough, Lu Weifu is out of date, and Pink Meow is the most serious and accurate. I Looking forward to the next update of Pink Meow Meow."

—— Siam Sweeping Tweets

Xu Yihan held a three-person meeting with Editor-in-Chief Fang and Minister Zhang.Editor-in-Chief Fang is the man with glasses that Xu Yihan poached from the magazine. He is in charge of updating the content of "I Don't Want Superpowers", and Minister Zhang is the head of the Planning Department of Weilan Literature—this planning department was established just the day before yesterday, and Director Zhang is Xu Yihan. Talented students recruited by themselves.

"I see that today's update has been well-reviewed online." Xu Yihan pulled his phone and looked at Editor-in-Chief Fang, "What do you think?"

Editor-in-Chief Fang's expression was somewhat puzzled: "It can only be said that there is no merit or fault, and the rhythm is not bad, but the language is much worse than that of Lu Weifu."

"Oh..." Xu Yihan nodded, "Then why are you praising her?"

Minister Zhang covered her mouth and smiled. She just graduated from a master's degree in Chinese opera last year. She has a round face and big eyes, and she looks very lively: "Mr. ——The things written by girls are closer to the psychology of female readers?"

Xu Yihan didn't speak, and looked at Editor-in-Chief Fang, who shook his head flatly: "No, it has nothing to do with men and women, good or bad is good or bad."

"Really?" Minister Zhang blinked, "That's really different from our business. We are talking about the audience. The same article may be bad for the readers of this official account, but it is not good for the readers of that official account." It’s good for many readers, and different people have different tastes.”

Editor-in-Chief Fang still shook his head: "Readers also talk about their tastes when reading articles. Some people like emotional dramas, and some like to fight monsters and upgrade... But no matter what style or genre, they can always tell the difference. This pink meow is a bit Lazy, for example, when she wrote about the male protagonist, she said that the male protagonist is 'European', and also used 'the power of the wild'... She used too many Internet buzzwords, which is a very taboo point in writing novels."

Minister Zhang: "Huh?"

Xu Yihan was also aroused: "Why?"

"Because firstly, although Internet buzzwords are very popular, they will soon become obsolete. There are actually very few buzzwords that can really be preserved and entered our long-term basic vocabulary. This brings a Problem: Maybe the content looks interesting now, but after a while, it will seem blunt, because later readers may not know what those buzzwords mean at all.

"Secondly, buzzwords themselves can easily restrict or even mislead the author. For example, when she wrote the sentence 'Xiao Zhang, a European', 'European' refers to people who are lucky, but Xiao Zhang is obviously not lucky. ——He was able to obtain superpowers because he was used as a test subject. Even though superpowers themselves are good, Xiao Zhang was not very happy after getting superpowers. On the contrary, he felt that he was a different kind, and he began to doubt himself. There are many complex emotions and causal relationships in it, which cannot be summed up simply by a "European". She used this word to make the connotation of Xiao Zhang thin, and she was a bit lazy. And more importantly, she After using this word, she also set restrictions on herself in her subsequent writing. She began to strengthen Xiao Zhang's "good luck" intentionally or unintentionally, while ignoring the possibility of writing Xiao Zhang more richly and three-dimensionally. "

Xu Yihan smiled: "Behind language is thought, a language has a system of thought, and it is impossible to be unrestricted."

"But most buzzwords have too strong value judgments in them. For the author, this is a very strong restriction, such as green tea whore, white lotus..."

"That's right, but," Xu Yihan turned his gaze to Minister Zhang, "After the update of Pink Meow Meow, what about our data?"

"The collection of novels has increased by [-], the number of fans on the official blog has increased by [-], and the number of fans on Pink Miaomiao's personal Weibo has increased by nearly [-]—it's only been more than three hours, Mr. Xu," Minister Zhang tweeted Pushing Glasses, "The data is so good, mainly because there are several tweet accounts and marketing accounts that Amway the update of Pink Meow Meow."
