A Lady? (1)
ââŠYouâre the odd one, couldnât you tellâŠâ said the seventh princess, but she was interrupted by a laughing Ye Lanyu before she could finish.
âShut up! Brother, let me ask you, have you both done -anything- while you were with Alvin?â
âNo, he has always kept his distance. Perhaps because heâs half-elf,â said Ye Lang, shaking his head.
âToo bad,â said Ye Lanyu, a little disappointed.
âWhat too bad? Ye Lanyu, Iâm warning you, donât ruin Ye Lang with your filthy mind!â roared the seventh princess as she pulled Ye Lang closer to her.
âWhat? Heâs worse than me, alright? He went to the brothel when he was five,â Ye Lanyu pulled Ye Lang back.
ââŠâ Alvin and the rest fell silent. FiveâŠ
â?? What are you talking about?â Ye Lang was very confused.
âYouâre slow. Itâs been so long, and you didnât know?â Ye Lanyu shook her head, smiling.
âYe Lang, youâre so cute!â the seventh princess hugged him and gave him a light peck on his face.
â??â
He was very confused. What were they talking about?
âMother, what are they talking about? I donât understand?â Chen Pi and Ye Lang were both very confused.
âMy child, this nice elf is a lady, sheâs not a man,â said the old woman.
Chen Pi was shocked, muttering, âWhat? A lady?â
âWhoâs a lady? Alvin?â Ye Lang regarded Alvin from head to toe after hearing the old woman.
Ye Lang shook his head, âWell sheâs definitely not talking about you.â
ââŠâ
Everyone fell silent again. The confused genius doctor was confused indeed.
âWhy definitely not me?â Alvin looked at Ye Lang, feeling wronged.
âYeah, little brother, why do you think sheâs not?â asked Ye Lanyu curiously.
âLook at him, heâs so skinny, and he doesnât have a chest. He doesnât look like a girl at all,â said Ye Lang pointing at Alvin.
ââŠâ Alvin covered himself immediately, blushing through his tanned skin.
âYouâre stupid, what are you saying? Girls must have huge breasts?â Ye Lanyu knocked his head.
He thought for a moment, then as if suddenly understanding something, âOhh, I know! Some girls are flat so this is quite normal! Come to think of it, if Alvin had a little more in the chest, he would look a lot like a woman.â
He continued, âYour eyes are so pretty, your skin so smooth. Youâre tanned, you look very healthy. Itâs alright if you donât have a chest, itâs all the same!â
âI do, please stop talking about it!â Alvin was upset now.
ââŠâ Ye Lang gave up trying to see.
ââŠâ Alvin was speechless.
âAlvin, why didnât you say earlier? That you were a girl?â asked Ye Lang.
âDo I need to tell youâŠâ
âWhy not?â
âNo!â This wasnât Alvinâs answer, it was everyoneâs answer. Everyone could tell Alvin was a girl.
Not just Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess, everyone whoâd met Alvin very quickly knew that she was a girl half-elf. Not a man!
âYou all know?â asked Ye Lang.
âYep, we do,â everyone answered once again.
He immediately asked, âIf you all knew, why didnât you tell me?â
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
âBecause we thought you knew!!â
Yep, everyone thought Ye Lang knew Alvin was a girl. It was too obvious. Perhaps it wasnât obvious while they were fleeing their village, but after everyone had to change their clothes around each other, they knew.
The way Alvin walked close to Ye Lang, they thought Ye Lang knew so no one thought to tell him.
And everyone was sure now that Ye Lang was VERY clueless. He was so clueless he hadnât noticed something so obvious. And Alvin had been with him for so long!
It was too kind to call him âcluelessâ, he was SLOW!
Ye Lang still didnât understand. He peered suspiciously at Alvin, âWhich part of you looks like a girl? Why canât I tell?â
Many girls can be distinguished by their voices, but Alvin had a raspy voice so Ye Lang couldnât tell. He still didnât know how everyone knew.
âThatâs because youâre dumb,â she sighed, âalso, Iâm Arwen, not Alvin!!â
âOh,â he looked like he understood, but he asked, âIs there a difference?â
â..â
âAlright, you being a girl makes everything much easier. Youâll be handling all the females from now on,â Ye Lang didnât care. Male or female, it didnât make a difference to him.
âIâve always been handling them,â said Arwen softly.
âNextâŠâ Ye Lang continued with his consultations.
Arwen also continued to be Ye Langâs assistant, it didnât make a difference to her either. Other than Ye Lang not knowing she was a girl, everyone already treated her as a girl anyway.
She did think Ye Lang knew, for no matter how clueless, he should. She didnât expect this at all.
If it werenât for that honest punk Chen Pi, looks like Ye Lang wouldâve never known.
As for her chest, it wasnât like she used a binder. It was⊠naturally that way. You couldnât say she had no breasts, she just had very small ones.
And this incident passed without an issue. This was also odd to everyone else. Ye Langâs response was so lacking- looks like he really didnât care if anyone was male or female.
