Goddess Cultivation Plan - Chapter 252 – Black Cat's Birthday Gift
Day 8 of the first Lunar month.
Lin Jin didn't need to make breakfast these days and there was nothing that needed him to get up early for. Thus, Lin Jin had turned into a complete slacker at home.
He found a novel that was pretty good so he would just lie on the ground and read it every day after meals. Occasionally, he would go out with Lin Chen to wander and play around. Though most of the time, he would just stay in and read, staying up until two or three in the morning and waking up around eleven or twelve the next day.
He had really become a salted fish.
Lin Chen got up early in the morning and got busy. He went out to get the cake he ordered for Lin Jin and was busy contacting Lin Jin's apparently close friends.
Although the two brothers, Lin Jin and Lin Chen, had been separated for around eight or nine years, in just these few days, their understanding of each other seemed as if they hadn't been apart for decades. Lin Chen, even though he didn't completely know Lin Jin's likes and dislikes, vaguely knew what kind of birthday party Lin Jin would probably enjoy.
Lin Jin naturally woke up at twelve o'clock. He propped himself up and looked around blankly. These past couple of days, he hadn't been able to sleep until he naturally woke up. His parents would always wake up at seven and then knock on the door at eight asking him to get up for breakfast. Usually, he would go back to sleep after having breakfast, but today, he slept until the sun was shining on his rear.
Touching his slightly hot butt warmed by the sun, Lin Jin frowned as he realized his younger brother was nowhere to be seen.
Though if nothing unexpected happened, his younger brother should be arranging his birthday party, right?
He wondered how the party will be like.
Sitting up with his legs bent, Lin Jin reached for his phone on the floor to check for novel updates.
Then he found that the wallpaper on his phone had been changed to a picture of a birthday party. It was anime styled, featuring a girl who looked somewhat like Lin Jin, wearing a white dress, cutting a cake surrounded by a crowd of people.
Lin Jin's face darkened in an instant.
Although he was happy that the black cat wanted to celebrate his birthday, couldn't they replace that anime girl, who looked a lot like him, with a handsome guy?
"Hi! Happy Birthday!" The black cat emerged from the edge of the phone screen, grinning. It wore a birthday hat, with a few rocket launchers strapped to its back. After greeting Lin Jin, it pulled a string attached to the rocket launcher, and moments later, colorful streamers burst from it.
The black cat seemed quite satisfied with its arrangements and asked Lin Jin with a flattering look on his face, "How was it? Were you moved?"
"Not at all."
Although there was indeed a bit of happiness, Lin Jin still said coldly, "If you change the girl in the wallpaper to a handsome guy, maybe I'll be a bit happier."
"Okay!"
So in the wallpaper, apart from the girl who looked like Lin Jin, all the other girls around were replaced by the black cat with handsome men. The black cat nodded in satisfaction as it cast an approving look at Lin Jin: "As expected of the goddess I selected, you've already realized that you need handsome guys, not cute girls."
Lin Jin's face darkened even more.
"Right! Since it's your birthday, I should give you a birthday gift."
As the black cat mumbled to itself, it took the birthday hat off its own head and placed it on the head of the girl in the wallpaper. Then, after thinking for a moment, in Lin Jin's somewhat baffled expression, the black cat fiercely slapped the floor with one paw.
"I've got it!"
Then a task popped up.
Birthday Task:
Since it's your birthday, let's dress up as a girl!
Task Reward: Task Completion Card! [If there's a task you don't want to complete, just swipe this, and the task is completed!]
Task Penalty: An unhappy birthday.
What a short task description. Ever since he met the black cat, this was the most concise one yet.
But importantly, why do I have to dress up as a girl for my birthday?
Black cat, aren't you afraid that I'll be beat to death by my angry dad?
Lin Jin's face turned slightly pale as he imagined the scene of himself walking out of his bedroom and greeted his parents in women's clothing… Nine times out of ten, he would be beat up, right? Though his mom might not be as agitated and might even help calm his dad down first before lecturing him afterwards.
Of course, it was also possible that his mother would join his father in a mixed doubles match against Lin Jin.
Before he could think more, someone knocked on the bedroom door. Moments later, Lin Chen entered with a smile while carrying a big box wrapped with ribbons.
"Brother, get ready to come out for your birthday." Lin Chen placed the box on the bed. "This is my gift, but you can only open it after we blow out the candles."
Lin Jin nodded with a grave expression, his mind still occupied with the task of dressing up as a woman for his birthday.
Outside in the living room, there seemed to be quite a few people with the voices of Zhao Ruo and Yuli faintly audible. Lin Chen had invited quite a few guests.
Dressing up as a woman in front of his parents was one thing, but doing so in front of others would probably incite even greater anger from his dad, especially when considering reputation...
"You go out for a bit, I need to change."
Lin Jin's expression wasn't great and he didn't think much about Lin Chen's gift. He was busy thinking about the consequences of cross dressing. A corner of his loose pajamas slipped off as he stood up, revealing a smooth, round, and fair shoulder. But he didn't notice as he was still deep in thought.
"Brother, you don't look so good..." Lin Chen was a little worried. He had a slight frown as he approached and persuaded "It's your birthday today, try not to be unhappy."
"I'll try." Lin Jin forced a smile. "You go out first?"
"Okay."
Honestly, Lin Jin thought the task might be worth doing after careful consideration. If there weren't any surprised in the future, he was sure he would eventually become a woman, and a beautiful one at that. It might be better to prepare his parents now, so that their shock won't be as severe when he actually becomes a woman in the future.
And the task reward was also quite good.
Whatever, whatever. He had to die eventually. Whether it's earlier or later, it's all the same in the end.
Lin Jin locked the door with a dark expression. Then he walked over to his closet and took out his women's clothing from his suitcase.
The upper body was a women's khaki coat bought for him by Liu Shengqi. Although this kind of coat was more neutral, since it was for women, it naturally counted. As for the pants, he put on the black skinny jeans he had bought before. Although the pants were very feminine, the hem of the trench coat reached down to his knees. If one didn't look closely, they might not even realize Lin Jin was wearing women's clothing, it might just seem overly androgynous.
Satisfied with the look, Lin Jin thought that while this kind of unisex outfit might not serve as an early warning for his parents, at least it could pass the task.
Then the black cat came to stir things up again.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding! As my goddess in training, you should dress beautifully and elegantly on your birthday, like a princess!" The black cat's voice came from the phone. With the mentality of feeling uncomfortable whenever it's not causing trouble, it laughed and said "So, your birthday outfit has already been prepared for you!"
Lin Jin's face darkened. He picked up his phone and saw that a very elaborate piece of women's clothing was hanging next to the black cat.
