《I Married Myself》


 I Became a Young Girl

    Above the pristine white hospital bed, a dim yellow light hung precariously, swaying slightly.


    The girl on the bed was breathing evenly, when suddenly, her long, delicate eyelashes fluttered.


    In the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up, gasping for air.


    "I... I¡¯m not dead?"


    She looked at her hands, her eyes still filled with traces of terror.


    "Holy crap, I¡¯m really not dead!"


    In disbelief, she reached for her pocket, about to pull out her phone.


    "Huh? Where¡¯s my phone?!"


    "My wallet is gone too!"


    "Where¡¯s my ID?!"


    At that moment, a nurse, who had been working nearby, paused and, unable to resist, patted her gently, asking, ¡°Little girl, do you remember your name? Could it be that you''ve lost your memory?¡±


    ¡°Name... name...¡±


    She tapped her head, suddenly remembering, ¡°I¡¯m Lin Chen!¡±


    ¡°Oh right, Auntie, did you happen to see my ID? And my phone and wallet?¡±


    The nurse shook her head, continuing to tidy up the messy counter.


    ¡°I heard you fainted on the street and were brought in here by a kind passerby. I didn¡¯t see anything like that on you. Little girl, could it be that you''re confused about your memory?¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Chen seemed to understand something all of a sudden. She froze, staring at her fair and delicate hands in shock.


    ¡°Auntie... you... just called me ''little girl''?¡±


    The nurse nodded, glancing at Lin Chen with some pity. ¡°Yes, little girl. Are you sure you''re alright? Should I go get the doctor to check on you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lin Chen slowly turned her head and shakily looked toward a nearby mirror.


    In the mirror, a girl with rosy cheeks and porcelain-like skin was gazing back at her. Under the dim light, her skin gleamed softly, and her big, watery eyes were filled with innocence.


    What caught the most attention was her waist-length hair, shimmering with golden highlights, tied into two ponytails. Her petite, delicate frame made her appear so lovable that anyone would instantly feel protective of her.


    Seeing her reflection, Lin Chen bit her lip, and tears immediately started flowing uncontrollably, like pearls strung together, falling from her long eyelashes.


    ¡°Wuwuwu, what kind of bullshit divine intervention is this?! I wanted to be a loli, not become a loli!¡±


    She cried harder and harder, as if deeply aggrieved, her long lashes now drenched in tears.


    In an instant, an overwhelming flood of memories seemed to trigger within her, and the girl who had been crying just a moment ago became motionless, staring blankly at the ceiling.


    ...


    In a large office, Lin Chen was sitting in front of a computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard, making a rapid clicking sound.


    The light from the screen reflected off his face, his dark, hollow eyes staring blankly at the monitor.


    He didn¡¯t know how long he had been sitting there before he finally stood up, stretched, and sighed, ¡°I¡¯m so exhausted. That damn Li Cuihua, that old hag, dumped all her work on me. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she¡¯s the supervisor, I¡¯d have given her a good piece of my mind.¡±


    He angrily cleaned up his desk, feeling completely dissatisfied.


    ¡°I don¡¯t get it, what¡¯s wrong with me? We joined the company at the same time, and now she¡¯s the supervisor while I¡¯m still a lowly employee.¡±


    He picked up his thermos and gulped down the tea, grumbling, ¡°So what if I used to bully you when we were kids? You¡¯ve been holding a grudge for decades?¡±


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.The office, once bustling, was now eerily quiet. Lin Chen sighed, grabbed his briefcase, clocked out, and quickly walked out the door.


    It was already late at night. Under the starry sky, Lin Chen walked alone down the quiet road.


    He was almost 30 and still hadn¡¯t kissed a girl, never experienced a sweet romance.


    He had finally found a job with a decent salary, but this damned company kept exploiting him. Not only did he have to do the hardest, most exhausting tasks, but he also had to deal with constant criticism. Not to mention, staying late at the office was a daily routine.


    He kicked a tree by the roadside angrily, shouting, ¡°What the hell is this? Is this how my life is going to end? Is this how I, Lin Chen, am supposed to live?¡±


    Maybe Lin Chen¡¯s anger reached the heavens, because the rainwater on the tree, still not fully dried, splashed down on him, drenching him completely.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    He ripped off his wet suit and cursed at the tree that had ¡°wronged¡± him.


    He cursed for a long time, until his throat was sore and dry, before he finally stopped and dragged his weary body home.


    Thinking about how he was nearly 30 and had never even dated a girl, he collapsed to the ground, holding his head in despair, and screamed to the sky, ¡°Heaven, please, give me a cute girlfriend!¡±


    Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a petite figure walking on the street, taking small, hesitant steps, her head swiveling around nervously.


    She didn¡¯t notice the large truck speeding toward her, honking loudly.


    In an instant, Lin Chen¡¯s pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and pushed the unaware girl out of the way.


    The truck, with a loud roar, crashed into Lin Chen¡¯s body, dragging him under its enormous wheels.


    Watching the girl stand there, unharmed, Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes and sighed,


    ¡°I, Lin Chen¡­¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, he lost consciousness, his outstretched hands falling limply by his sides.


    ...


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    The blinding light around Lin Chen startled him awake. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, finding himself in a world of pure white. He wondered, ¡°Is this¡­ the Western paradise?¡±


    ¡°This is quite something. I didn¡¯t think I, Lin Chen, would ever have such a fate.¡±


    At that moment, Lin Chen glanced up casually, but his body trembled, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.


    He raised a hand to his forehead in disbelief and exclaimed, ¡°Are you... a god?¡±


    Above him, a figure appeared, surrounded by blinding white light, radiating an overwhelming glow.


    The figure seemed to notice him and waved her hand. A voice echoed in Lin Chen¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Human, what do you wish for?¡±


    ¡°God, if you can grant my wish, I... I want to be a loli!¡±


    Lin Chen clenched his fists, responding without a second thought.


    ¡°Very well, your wish is granted.¡±


    With a wave of her hand, a blinding light engulfed Lin Chen.


    And so¡­ Lin Chen became what he was now.


    Thinking about this, she furiously tossed and turned on the bed, ¡°This is infuriating! I¡¯m so pissed off!¡±


    Just then, a timid voice called out to her, ¡°Hello, I found you collapsed on the street, so I brought you here. Are you okay?¡±


    Lin Chen turned to look at him. In an instant, her pupils contracted, and she instinctively took several steps back, covering her mouth in disbelief as she stared at him.


    ¡°You... why are you here?!¡±

 Take me home

    "Huh? What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯ll go call the doctor."


    The boy in front of her shook his head helplessly and started walking out.


    "Don¡¯t move!"


    Lin Chen grabbed his wrist, her big, watery eyes staring at him as she sized him up.


    "Ah... no wonder I¡¯m still so handsome. I was different back in school."


    Immediately, because of her sudden movement, the boy¡¯s ears and cheeks flushed bright red.


    "U-uh... If there¡¯s nothing wrong, I¡¯ll just go now." He turned his head, his gaze avoiding hers.


    "No! You¡¯re not allowed to leave!"


    "Huh? Why?" The boy asked in confusion.


    Lin Chen glared at him, her voice firm. "What¡¯s your name?"


    "My name?" The boy pointed at himself, flustered.


    "Yeah, of course, who else would I be talking to?"


    "My name is Lin Chen, why?"


    Hearing this, she quickly came up with a name on the spot. "Well, my name is Lin Chenchen. What a coincidence, our names are almost identical!"


    "Uh... yeah, what a coincidence..."


    Looking at the adorable girl in front of him, with her twin ponytails, Lin Chen''s heart skipped a beat, thumping so hard he felt like it might burst.


    "Hey, look at me! It¡¯s rude to talk without looking at someone."


    Lin Chenchen pouted, unhappy, and pulled him closer.


    "I... I..."


    The scent of her sweet perfume made him freeze, his face turning redder as he struggled to find words.


    "Hey, Lin Chen, are you mute? Stammering like that, you¡¯re acting like a girl."


    Lin Chenchen extended her hand and gave his ear a playful tug.


    Immediately, the quiet room was filled with loud, pig-like screams.


    Lin Chenchen leaned closer to his ear and scolded, "You, you coward. Can¡¯t you be braver? You don¡¯t want to be almost 30 and have never kissed a girl, right?"


    At this, Lin Chen¡¯s eyes glistened with tears. He looked at Lin Chenchen, her fierce expression making him feel wronged, and said in a low voice, "I saved you, and now you¡¯re hitting me and saying all these strange things... I..."


    "If I see you cry, I¡¯ll make sure your right ear experiences three circles to the left and three circles to the right!"


    Lin Chenchen released his ear, her tone still irritated.


    "You... little loli, don¡¯t think you can get away with anything just because you¡¯re cute." He muttered under his breath.


    "Heh, by the way, can I borrow your phone? I¡¯ll give it back to you later."


    Without waiting for his response, Lin Chenchen reached into his jacket pocket and casually pulled out a phone.


    "Hey! You..."


    He hurriedly reached out to stop her, but before he could, Lin Chenchen placed her foot on his face, not giving him a chance to get any closer.


    "Hey! Your... panties!"


    Lin Chen hurriedly covered his face, his eyes peeking through his fingers as he tried to look at the stunning sight in front of him.


    "Cough, cough."


    Lin Chenchen gave him a nonchalant glance, quickly squeezing her legs together to hold her skirt down, and plopped down on the bed.


    She easily tapped the screen, unlocked the phone, and a wallpaper of an anime girl wearing an eye mask, looking very much like an over-the-top character, appeared.


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience."Pfft~"


    She covered her mouth, giggling softly.


    "How familiar... this was my favorite anime character back in the day. It¡¯s been over ten years now."


    Then, her eyes caught the time displayed on the phone¡ªSeptember 16, 2013.


    "Hey... why do you need my phone?"


    At that moment, Lin Chen, looking anxious, glanced at her and asked.


    "Well, I just wanted to check the time. Here, take it back."


    After handing the phone back, she stood up and stretched her arms and legs. Immediately, her slender waist and soft, white shoulders were exposed.


    Lin Chen froze, staring at her in awe. When he noticed he was looking, Lin Chenchen smiled slyly and said, "Hey, what are you looking at?"


    "I... I¡¯m sorry!"


    He quickly lowered his head, his eyes full of panic.


    "Heh, you saved me today, so you have to take responsibility!"


    Lin Chen¡¯s face turned pale, and he trembled as he spoke, "Huh? I¡¯m just a poor college student. I can¡¯t afford to pay for anything."


    "I don¡¯t care about your money. I wouldn¡¯t even take it if you gave it to me."


    Lin Chenchen glanced at him, her tone full of disdain.


    "Then... how am I supposed to take responsibility...?"


    He swallowed nervously, looking at her in a panic.


    "How? Of course, you take me home!"


    "And you¡¯ll provide for all my living expenses!"


    Lin Chenchen blinked her big, watery eyes and continued.


    "For living, let me stay in your room. For food, just save me some lunch and dinner. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m easy to take care of!"


    She patted her almost-flat chest and said confidently, "As for your parents, don¡¯t worry. They won¡¯t come into your room unless there¡¯s some special situation."


    "Huh? But you¡¯re a minor... and I don¡¯t even know you..."


    "A minor? I¡¯m 28!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze. Seeing Lin Chen¡¯s confused expression, she quickly tried to recover, coughing awkwardly. "Ahem, actually, I¡¯m an adult. And if you don¡¯t let me stay at your place, I¡¯ll have nowhere to sleep."


    "If that happens, I¡¯ll end up sleeping on the streets, and some human traffickers will find me and...!"


    She continued, wiping a tear from her eye, looking at Lin Chen with an expectant gaze.


    "But... but..."


    "But nothing!"


    Seeing that Lin Chen was still hesitating, she put her hands on her hips and glared at him.


    "Don¡¯t argue with me! If you keep talking, I¡¯ll tear off your ears and roast them!"


    Seeing Lin Chenchen¡¯s fierce attitude, he quickly quieted down and stammered, "Okay, let¡¯s go..."


    "That¡¯s more like it. Hehe."


    Lin Chenchen nodded in satisfaction, then began looking around.


    Her gaze landed on a pair of black leather shoes that looked oddly like pig kidneys.


    She slowly stood up and tentatively slipped her foot into them.


    "Ugh, strange shoes. They¡¯re not comfortable at all."


    Lin Chenchen bent down and fiddled with the shoes for a while until she managed to fasten the straps.


    "Alright, let¡¯s go. Time to go home!"


    Suddenly, Lin Chenchen felt someone¡¯s gaze on her. She grinned mischievously and quickly looked up.


    "Gotcha! You were spying on me, huh? That¡¯s a capital offense!"

 Back to Ten Years Ago

    "Hey, you little brat, how dare you peek at me! Be prepared to face the consequences!"


    With that, she suddenly stood up and waved her little hands, storming towards Lin Chen with a fierce look.


    "I... I surrender!"


    Seeing the boy in front of her, who was taller by a head, so easily intimidated, a playful smile slowly appeared on her lips.


    "Hehe, just now, where were your eyes staring at? They were about to pop out!"


    "N-nothing!"


    His face turned bright red, even the tips of his ears blushing. His eyes were frantically darting around in a panic.


    "You sure? You don¡¯t want to say?"


    She tiptoed, slowly closing the distance between them, her big watery eyes twirling with mischief.


    With the distance between them so close now, Lin Chen froze as though shocked by electricity. Trembling, he stammered, "A-a-aah, I¡¯ll say it!"


    Seeing the delicate face of this tiny girl magnified a hundred times before him, he clenched his teeth and tried to control his breath, nodding like a mechanical toy.


    "I... I¡¯ll say..."


    "Oh?"


    Lin Chenchen released her grip on him, sat down on the bed, and cupped her face, looking at him with keen interest.


    "Well... if I really have to say... it¡¯s... it¡¯s..."


    "Well, what is it?"


    "It¡¯s that..."


    He extended a finger hesitantly, nervously pointing at Lin Chenchen¡¯s flat chest.


    "Ha, just as I thought, it¡¯s exactly what I imagined."


    She muttered to herself quietly, then quickly adopted a confident pose.


    "Hmph, what else?"


    "Look... look there..."


    He shakily stretched out his hand, cautiously pointing at Lin Chenchen¡¯s slender legs, wrapped in white stockings.


    "Mhm, I see."


    Lin Chenchen raised her legs, revealing her smooth, creamy white calves, perfectly slender and straight. There wasn¡¯t a flaw to be found.

    Her legs, wrapped in sheer white stockings, were taut, the curve of her thighs accentuated beautifully, paired with her innocent face and twin ponytails¡ªshe looked like an adorable, helpless little girl that made anyone want to protect her.


    "You little brat! You¡¯re still staring!"


    Suddenly, Lin Chenchen turned her head and found Lin Chen¡¯s fiery gaze fixed on her.


    "Ah! I didn¡¯t mean to! Please, spare me!"


    "You¡¯re really hopeless!"


    Lin Chenchen shot him a fierce glare, her face filled with exasperation.


    "Hmph, I¡¯m not teasing you anymore. Let¡¯s just go back to my house."


    She raised an eyebrow and casually said.


    "That... that¡¯s my house..."


    "Oh, too bad, now it¡¯s mine."


    She smirked, her shoulders shrugging nonchalantly.


    "You..."


    "What do you mean, ''you''? Got a problem, brat?"


    "No! Absolutely not!"


    Seeing her angry expression, Lin Chen quickly shook his head in panic.


    "Now that¡¯s more like it."


    Lin Chenchen jumped off the bed, opened the door, and started heading outside.


    "Hey! Wait for me, don¡¯t get lost!"


    Lin Chen hurried after her, anxiously following her every step.


    Outside, autumn had arrived, the ground covered with fallen maple leaves, and there was a faint, pleasant scent in the air.


    "Wow... so beautiful..."


    Lin Chenchen paused to admire the scene as the maple leaves fell like raindrops from the sky, completely mesmerized by the breathtaking view.


    "Hey, if we don¡¯t hurry, my mom and dad will be back soon."


    Lin Chen gently tapped her shoulder, his tone filled with urgency.


    "Oh, right. We should hurry up."


    She took soft steps, following him slowly behind.


    The street vendors, the familiar little shops, and the occasional shouts of street sellers all brought a rush of memories to Lin Chenchen. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh, "I never thought I¡¯d get to see these sights again after all these years."


    As she looked around, her eyes shimmered with faint tears, lost in the memories of the past.


    After walking through a few alleys and crossing a big street, they arrived at a two-story house.


    "This... this is it..."


    She wiped away the tears that were about to fall, staring at the familiar little house filled with memories.


    "This... since I graduated and started working, I haven¡¯t been back... Seeing it now brings so many memories..."


    Lin Chen, seeing her in such a daze, quickly grabbed her and pulled her inside. In a low voice, he said, "Don¡¯t just stand there. If my parents see us, I¡¯ll be too embarrassed to face them."


    Just then, Lin Chenchen¡¯s eyes widened. She pursed her lips in indignation and whined, "Hey, you little brat, what do you mean by saying you¡¯ll be too embarrassed?"


    With her hands on her hips, she looked exasperated.


    "I didn¡¯t mean it like that. My parents have been pushing me to find a girlfriend. If they see you with me, they¡¯ll definitely misunderstand."


    He raised a trembling hand to his forehead, dreading what would come next.


    "Oh, I see. Then let¡¯s go upstairs and check out the room."


    Lin Chenchen grabbed his hand and led him upstairs, as if she had done it a hundred times before.


    "This girl... knows too much about me, even my phone password..."


    He glanced at her with growing anxiety, murmuring to himself.


    After walking up a wooden staircase, they reached the door at the end of the hallway.


    "Hey! What are you waiting for? Open the door!"


    Lin Chenchen tugged at him forcefully, her voice harsh.


    "Okay! I got it!"


    Flustered, he quickly pulled out his keys and turned the lock, opening the door.


    The room wasn¡¯t very large, with most of the space taken up by a bed. It was a mess, clothes strewn all over the place.


    Near the window was a wooden desk, aged by time, with several potted plants sitting on it, adding a touch of charm to the room.


    Suddenly, the sound of a door opening downstairs broke the silence.


    "You little brat! It¡¯s late, and you still haven¡¯t made dinner! You want to starve me to death?"


    Lin Chen froze, his pupils narrowing, and even his lips started to tremble.


    "We¡¯re done for! Dad¡¯s back!"
