Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[03] Realisation

Zhan Chen still didn't comprehend what in the actual seven layers of hell was going on? Few questions came into his mind. Did he die and get reborn into this beauty? Or did he curse some deity and the deity sent him to this foreign place? Or maybe because he was too poor and pitiful, a kind and nice God decided to give him a chance to relive his life by giving him a beautiful (feminine) appearance, parents and rich family?

Before he came to this weird place... Fu Zhan Chen was a 24 years old normal working citizen of China. After leaving orphanage, Zhan Chen managed to continue his high school with an allowance he saved from his days living at the orphanage (the money given by the government) and part time jobs. He only barely managed to finish his high school. Unfortunately, he was not some genius like almost all those main characters from the novels. He only got some average result for his high school and that didn't land him any scholarship to enter any college.

Because of this, Zhan Chen decided to forget about his dream of becoming a teacher. He almost couldn't afford his small, old apartment rent and everyday food, how could he think of continuing study? From two jobs, he added one more job to his already busy schedule. In the early morning, he worked as a newspaper boy, during daytime, he worked in a family diner as a waiter and during night, he worked as a bartender at a gay bar.

Even with these three jobs, Zhan Chen barely able to pay his rent and buy some food and daily necessity. And, he barely living his life with most of his time consumed by living in works.

Remembering his life before (not that he was sure he had died and reborn), Zhan Chen came back to reality as he once again looked at him in the bronze mirror.

A sigh.

"... Really too beautiful. I'm sure girls are dying to have this perfect face and skin." He muttered to himself as he looked over his entire being. So, fragile, dainty like a girl. Eventhough, his previous face was quite beautiful, but he still look kind of manly. But, this same face of him, just screamed off... Girlish!!!

"What in the seven layers of hell is happening? And who were those two just now? Father? Mother? I don't recall having parents." A confused sigh. "And where is this place? Am I dreaming?" He pinched his arm, "Ouch!"

Okay, not a dream for sure.

Trying to calm himself, Zhan Chen tried to think deeper.

Yes, as deeper as he could since he was not the type to think deep usually. If ignoring the fact that he seemed a bit (okay, a lot) different, had a cool and handsome father, a caring and beautiful (male) mother, a rich family and lived in this kind of old age of China... It seemed he scored a lot!

He wasn't sure if he was dying in his old world or something, however, since the God wanted to give him chance at a better life... Why should he hold back? He should live his life to the fullest ba!

Seemingly reaching a conclusion, Zhan Chen finally put on a smile as he threw open the window and basked in the morning light.

"I'm going to be happy!"

As a simple man, Zhan Chen didn't want to think more. He was going to pretend to be the couple's son...

"What do you mean by that? Are you thinking of leaving your parents, Xiao Chen? We know you've forgotten us but we're still your parents." A low voice was heard as the door opened wide.

There stood the couple of Bai.

Crap!

He did forget that he told the couple that he didn't have parents. A trouble! W-What should he do now? Well, he would have to deceive them with his lousy acting then.

Trying to imitate the once TV drama he watched in an orphanage, he pulled on his pitiful face. Little did he know that, with his adorable face, he had managed to pull it off successfully!

Big teary eyes looked up at the couple, following then was a sniff and a few pearly tears fell down his soft, white cheeks.

Bai Xiu Ying couldn't stand seeing his only child crying, immediately went to the younger Ger and held him into his bosom. "Mother is sorry, Xiao Chen. Mother knows that you're so scared right now but don't worry, me and your father would find a healer to heal your amnesia and sickness."

"I'm sick?" A sniff and more tears fell down. "I-Is that why I couldn't remember my parents?"

Bai Jian Yu stepped forward and engulfed the two in his arms. "It could be a long side effect when you were kidnapped when you were eleven, Xiao Chen. Few years ago, you did lose your memory temporarily." He sighed. "Old Shen is supposed to be the best healer but... We, your parents, promise to find the medicine no matter what."

So, he had this problem before. Smiling in his heart while sniffing on the outside, Zhan Chen decided to use this chance to his advantage. Since he had had an amnesia before, he could just bluff himself if he didn't know something ba!

He certainly is very lucky!

Small theatre

Xiao Chen: Yay! I'm going to live my life to the fullest! And first of all...

(Going to the kitchen and ask the servants to prepare for him lots of sweets and desserts.)

Xiu'er: Xiao Chen, what are you doing? (Looking at his child stuffing his mouth full with desserts and suddenly, gets teary eyes.) Oh dear God! Why is my child acting like some poor people? Whenever you want to eat, you could just ask the servants to make for you. You're not living in an orphanage and no one is going to take your food.

Xiao Chen: ......
