In the past few days, Lin Jin has become busy. Previously, he would skip five or six classes in a week, but now he's even considering not attending a single class for a whole week, just to prepare for the program audition next month.

When there is no one in the dormitory, he starts practicing his long-neglected fake voice, training his pitch one letter at a time. He keeps trying different kinds of music, hoping to find a suitable song for himself in a few days. Then he plans to communicate with Chen Xinya and ask her to choreograph a simple dance for him.

To be honest, Lin Jin doesn't really like songs with the theme of the Long March. In his impression, songs about the Long March are supposed to be similar to military songs, the kind that is spirited and a bit old-fashioned, but since he wants to perform on stage, he has no choice but to learn to sing them.

Lin Jin has entrusted the task of song selection to Wu Min, and Wu Min has been diligently selecting songs for Lin Jin every night during their rest time. However, according to Wu Min, most of the songs about the Long March are meant to be sung by a chorus, and it's impossible for Lin Jin to capture that feeling on his own. So now Wu Min can only consider whether they can find some popular music that praises the motherland for him to try.

Taking advantage of the absence of his roommate, Lin Jin spent an afternoon practicing his fake voice. However, he only managed to improve his proficiency to some extent, at best making his pronunciation slightly more accurate, but his voice still lacked depth.

The afternoon practice left his throat a bit hoarse. Fortunately, Lin Jin had prepared throat lozenges and warm water, which prevented his voice from becoming unusable due to excessive use.

He glanced at the shopping app on his phone and realized that the wig he ordered yesterday still hadn't been shipped. He became anxious, pursed his lips, and began to argue with customer service, demanding expedited shipping.

You should know that there are only two days left before the deadline for the weekly task. If the wig was shipped yesterday, it might still arrive in time before the task deadline. However, if it is shipped today, it may be too late. But even if it may be too late, Lin Jin plans to give it a try. After all, the punishment for the task is to become a woman...

Or maybe it's not exactly becoming a woman, because if he were to become a complete woman, it would affect Lin Jin's voice, chest, muscle distribution, and so on. But the punishment for this task is simply to make Lin Jin's "little brother" turn into a "little sister"... He could accept fully becoming a woman if he took some precautions to conceal it, but only a halfway transformation would be too extreme.

Troubled by the issue with the delivery, Lin Jin suddenly noticed that the door was opened, and Wu Min and Wen Xuan, who had finished their classes, returned to the dormitory with books one after another.

"Hey, Lin Jin, playing Dota?" Wu Min passed by Lin Jin while carrying a towel hanging on his wardrobe door and went to the balcony. He washed his face and asked, "How's the preparation for the afternoon? Are you confident about passing next month's assessment?"

"Not confident" Lin Jin frowned, resting his chin on his hands, staring blankly at the screen. "I feel like Chen Xinya will be furious with me. She could have directly joined the group."

"Chen Xinya?" Wu Min pondered for a moment before finally recalling Chen Xinya's face from his memory. He nodded, "She seems to be good at dancing, and I heard she's really impressive."

"Yeah, but I haven't seen her dance" Lin Jin wasn't too concerned about Chen Xinya's dance causing any issues. After all, she had been studying for eight years, which was much more reliable than his own singing skills, as he had no foundation at all.

"So why did you decide to participate in the New Year's party?" Wen Xuan leaned back in his chair, yawning. "You, who could laze around in bed all day on weekends, suddenly changed course and wanted to sing."

"Just like what I was thinking... If only I had money..." Lin Jin muttered quietly, but he didn't expect Wu Min, who was returning from the balcony, to overhear him.

"As expected from a person obsessed with money. I feel like if you were a girl, you would have already found someone to support you" Wu Min teased Lin Jin, draping the towel over his shoulder. "Or maybe find a wealthy boyfriend?"

"What's wrong with being obsessed with money?" Lin Jin narrowed his eyes, retorting, "Don't you like money? And what's wrong with me being poor and loving money?"

Lin Jin hummed to himself,

He is usually very frugal with his money. He has been at this school for a few months now and has hardly ever gone out of the campus. It's not because he doesn't like shopping or going out, but simply because he's poor.

Up until now, the number of times he has left the school campus can be counted on one hand. Apart from two occasions of getting a haircut, the only other times were when he went to KTV with his roommate at the beginning of the semester and when he went to watch a movie last weekend.

It's quite tragic when you think about it. Lin Jin's family used to be quite affluent. In his childhood, Lin Jin was a privileged child who was driven to school in a small car. However, his father, who was addicted to gambling, not only turned him into a single-parent household but also limited his monthly living expenses to no more than 800 yuan during his university life. And even this 800 yuan was provided by his mother, who tirelessly ran a clothing store in another province while taking care of his younger brother.

Due to lack of money, it was only after coming to university that Lin Jin stepped into a KTV for the first time in his life. Due to lack of money, going to a movie theater felt like a country bumpkin visiting the city for the first time.

"Hey, Wen Xuan." A classmate from the neighboring dorm suddenly came over to visit from the balcony. "Wanna play League of Legends?"

Wen Xuan glanced back at the classmate and sneered, "I'll play one game, but you have to quiz me in English."

"Why study English? Let's have fun! Learn from Lin Jin, what’s studying, what’s going to class?" the person teased Wen Xuan with a playful smile.

But Lin Jin was not pleased. Why should they involve him in persuading Wen Xuan to play games?

"Hey! Xiao Ling! Where are you better than me at?" Lin Jin turned around and shouted at him.

Skipping classes was his own business, and he felt unhappy when others talked about it.

"But I got a perfect score on the English midterm" Xiao Ling smirked, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"But you're still stuck in the same school as me."

"That was a mistake when I filled out my university preferences. I was supposed to go to Xiamen University" Xiao Ling shamelessly boasted, tilting his head back. "I used to be the top student in school. If it weren't for not performing well on the college entrance exam, I would have been loafing around Beijing University. How could I be stuck here with you?"

Xiao Ling is someone who can talk a big game, and most of the things that come out of his mouth are not trustworthy. If you accidentally believe him, you'll basically fall into the trap he set.

However, despite his ability to talk, his appearance hasn't suffered any consequences for his sharp tongue. In fact, he looks quite handsome. He is taller than Wu Min, though slightly thin. However, while his appearance is fine, the karma has fallen on his head. His hair is dreadfully sparse, with a receding hairline that is particularly noticeable at the crown, revealing his scalp clearly.

"No wonder you have thin hair, turns out it's all talk and no substance" Lin Jin retorted, curling his lips without hesitation.

"Forget it, Wen Xuan, let's play LOL."

Perhaps feeling unable to argue with Lin Jin or simply not wanting to bother with Lin Jin's clumsy comebacks, Xiao Ling just urged Wen Xuan once more before turning around and leaving the dormitory.

"This Xiao Ling person is an idiot."
