I Don't Want to Be Your Wife Author: Su Su Nie

This book is also known as: "If Life Feels Hard, Try Becoming a Cute Girl!" Life isn't going well? As a boy, he loves anime and manga, but there's a pitifully thick barrier separating him from his "waifus." So, the boy resolutely puts on a cute dress and transforms into his own waifu! However, his parents disapprove, they argue, their relationship breaks down, and the boy impulsively leaves home. He'll have to go back after the college entrance exam, but how will he face his parents...?

"Still struggling? Then try being a girl! Don't wonder why, just go for it, kid!"

Thus, Su Mumu was transformed into a girl by a system that claimed to be an alien being, and appeared in the home of a disillusioned young man.

Thai Wind: What just fell from the sky? Oh, it's my girlfriend!

Chapter 1 Su Mu and Su Mumu (Revised)

"Excuse me, miss, may I interview you?" At the anime convention, Su Mu was stopped by a girl with a microphone. "I'm a content creator on Pixiv. I'd like to take a picture of you to use in one of my videos, is that alright?"

"Uh..." Su Mu was about to speak when the boy next to her, who was also dressed in cosplay, laughed: "Little Mu Mu is still so popular, hahaha."

At this moment, Su Mu, no, it should be said that Su Mumu was wearing a yellow wig and a Japanese JK uniform. He was only 1.7 meters tall and weighed just over 100 pounds. He had fair skin due to being a homebody, slender limbs, a beautiful face, big eyes with double eyelids, and a layer of pink lipstick on his lips.

The girl holding the microphone was stunned. From behind, it was impossible to tell how beautiful this girl was. But when the girl turned around, it became clear that the girl in front of her had a face that could captivate anyone.

"Excuse me, may I ask a few questions?" The girl holding the microphone swallowed hard. "Who are you cosplaying as, miss?"

"You don't recognize her?! This is my first wife, the innocent and adorable Mashiro-sama! P.S., she's from Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo!"

Su Mu proudly introduced that this was his favorite anime after he became a fan of anime.

"And here, the character I played is from Zhouzhou, you should recognize her, right?"

As Lin Xiuyun said, everyone knows that the cosplay of "The Last Night's Round Car" is a recent popular phenomenon in the ACG mobile game world.

"I know, I know, it's my ex-husband~" The girl holding the microphone gave a knowing smile.

"Just to let you know in advance, the video might be released publicly. Do you have any objections?"

"Please blur our faces, we're still high school students and don't want to be on camera," Su Mu said as usual, clearly used to this kind of situation.

"OK, no problem. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Xia Han. You can call me Sister Han if you don't mind."

Xia Han had clearly seen this situation many times before, so she directly brought up a topic with Su Mu.

"My first question is, how did you get involved with anime?"

This was Su Mumu's first time encountering anime, and his thoughts slowly drifted back to several years ago. It was the first time he, as a boy, had worn a skirt, the reason he was now studying alone in P City, and the first time he saw the room that led him to become an otaku.

It was a villa in a riverside villa complex. The window of the first-floor room facing the river was wide open. Su Mu glanced at it from the outside and was immediately lost in thought. The walls were covered with anime and game posters. A boy of about the same age as him looked at him through the window and then looked away.

Su Mu still remembers that it was Qixi Festival, and Su Mu was tricked by her older sister into wearing a skirt to her boyfriend's house.

But on the way there, Su Mumu was instantly captivated by the world of anime, simply because of that one glance.

Looking back now, it still seems unbelievable. A 14-year-old boy fell in love with anime at first sight, even argued with his parents because of his cosplay hobby, and ended up coming to another province to study high school alone. Even Lin Xiuyun, whom he had known online for so long and had met him in person several times, did not know that he was a boy.

"I saw it on the road, became very interested, and became completely absorbed in it."

Su Mumu answered.

Unfortunately, whenever Su Mu went back to that neighborhood, to that same room, to that window facing the river, it was never opened again. And that boy, too, vanished from Su Mu's world.

"Is it that simple?" Xia Han thought Su Mu would have some kind of cringeworthy history, but he didn't say anything.

"Indeed, I saw it by chance on the street, and then I started to learn about it. I didn't expect to fall in love with it so quickly."

A slight blush appeared on Su Mu's face; this part of his history could be considered a dark chapter in his past.

"Hahahaha, Mu Mu is blushing," the boy with her joked. "Mu Mu, you're almost an adult girl, why are you always blushing, hahaha."

Hearing this, Su Mu, who had just calmed down, blushed again and immediately grabbed the hem of the person next to her, "Lin Zi, you still dare to talk back? You know my personality."

Su Mu stood up to leave, "I'm sorry, Sister Han, let's leave it at that. We'll be going now!"

Lin Xiuyun, who was being pulled along, could only say to Xia Han, "That little Mu Mu is shy, so I'm sorry about the interview."

"Wait, one last question. Would you create a female character you like? What are your thoughts on male characters who create female characters? If you had the chance to be a girl and live your life again?"

Xia Han threw out one last question, which caught the attention of the two who were about to leave.

Before Lin Xiuyun could react, Su Mumu stopped in her tracks.

"To become a girl and start my life over? If that were the case, I wouldn't have this conflict with my parents, right? If possible, I'd give it a try."

Su Mu remained where he was, until Lin Xiuyun gave her a reply.

"I don't know, since I've never tried it. I don't think there's anything wrong with boys cosplaying female characters, but if we were to start over, only elementary school students would have such fantasies, right?"

Lin Xiuyun's words made Su Mu blush, realizing how childish her thoughts had been.

"Uh, isn't this the same as not answering at all? Why are you blushing?"

Xia Han looked at Su Mu, who was blushing, with a puzzled expression. This made Su Mu even more embarrassed, and he took Lin Xiujun's hand and tried to leave.

But it's a bit too late to leave now. Just now, a few tourists with cameras surrounded Su Mu after they saw him.

"Sorry, there are a lot of people, we'll be leaving now."

Lin Xiuyun knew that Su Mu didn't like crowds, so she pulled Su Mu along, planning to go out while there were still fewer people around.

"Remember to search for our show when you get back, and follow us, okay?" With Xia Han's voice, the two left the venue.

Outside the convention venue, Su Mumu and Lin Xiujun, who had been running all the way, were breathing heavily.

"Mumu, why are you shy? You can easily take down two of me by yourself, yet you're shy when surrounded by people."

Lin Xiuyun thought Su Mu was just embarrassed.

"What? If you can't beat me, it's because you're not good enough. I've been practicing Taekwondo for over ten years and I'm a third-degree black belt."

"Mumu, why did you learn Taekwondo if you have nothing better to do?"

Su Mu paused for a moment, then said after a while, "I just went to study when I had nothing to do, why is there a reason?"

That's because I was weak when I was little, so my mom sent me there to exercise.

"Let's go," Su Mumu said, pulling on Lin Xiujun's sleeve. "I haven't even done much sightseeing yet."

Not far from where the two had just been, a cosplayer wearing a hood took it off, revealing a static-filled screen on an old-fashioned black-and-white television when there was no signal.

"Becoming a girl is a good bargaining chip; let's give it a try."

Chapter 2 The Secret Exposed (Revised)

At the airport in P city, the plane carrying Su Mu is taxiing to the runway.

With the end of the National Day holiday, Su Mumu, who had enjoyed a pleasant holiday in S City, has returned to Su Mu and is ready to resume her daily life.

"Brother Mu, how was it? Did you have fun at what's supposedly the biggest anime convention in the country?" Zhang Chi was the first to come over and put his arm around Su Mu's shoulder. "Did you bring any souvenirs for the brothers?"

“Yeah, Mu-ge, in our dorm’s financial situation, only you have the spare money to go to a comic convention in a big city like S City,” another roommate joked to Yangxuan. “We helped you keep it a secret from the dorm manager for three days, so we have to give you some reward, otherwise why would we risk cleaning the toilets to help you?”

"Alright, alright, everyone's here, not a single one's missing. By the way, where's Yuxuan? Why didn't he come?"

In his boy form, Su Mu was a typical sunny boy with a handsome face, and his looks were definitely top-notch.

"That guy, on the first day of National Day, he hooked up with a girl to play games with. He was lucky to meet a rare female player in a high-level game. They play two games every night, and he didn't stop during the day today either, so he didn't come."

"Stop making baseless accusations. We don't even know if she's a woman or not. You should take a look at Mu Ge's situation."

To avoid revealing his identity while cosplaying, Su Mu learned a skill that allowed him to mimic both real and fake voices, which also became his source of income. After all, running away from home and still needing money from his family every month was definitely a risky business.

Fortunately, Su Mu's voice imitation is quite good, so as a somewhat famous voice actor, he has dubbed many small game characters. Over time, his income is not low, enough to support his daily life and the expenses of cosplay costumes.

But no matter how well he hid it, his roommate still discovered his secret of doing voiceovers for some small games more than half a year ago.

"No way, if someone really has Mu's skills, wouldn't doing voice acting like Mu be a faster way to make money than swindling that guy Old Chen?"

"You two, keep your voices down! You promised to keep this a secret for me."

Although Su Mu felt he had done a good job of keeping things secret, it was still necessary to be careful.

Su Mumu's face does resemble Su Mu's somewhat. Fortunately, Su Mu's roommates don't watch these kinds of videos, but if the news that Su Mu can use voice imitation gets out, some people might make the connection.

"Okay, let's go, my Didi should be here soon." Xiang Yangxuan showed his phone the page showing that the driver had arrived, and headed towards the airport exit.

Su Mu then started moving as well.

Because of the upcoming college entrance examination, senior high school students only have a short three-day break during the National Day holiday, which is especially short for Su Mu, who has to travel hundreds of kilometers away.

Suddenly I'm a senior in high school.

Su Mu thought to himself that since he confessed in the third year of junior high school and argued with his parents, he decided to leave home and has been studying in P City for two years. During this time, he has not returned home once, nor has he contacted them by phone or text message.

My parents are so heartless. How much longer can I wander around alone like this? I can't just never go back, can I?

Su Mu thought to himself, feeling utterly bored.

Sitting in the car, Su Mu watched the scenery outside the window flash by quickly, and his thoughts became complicated.

"How did I even have that thought in my head? To start over? If I really became a girl, my dad might make me go back to school and start over."

Su Mu began to reflect on his irrational idea.

"What about rebirth? I should be at an age where I'm not acting like a teenager anymore. Why would I still be thinking about such things?"

After a journey of more than an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, P City No. 1 Middle School.

The school gate is still brand new, because the school has only been established for a little over a decade. But just by looking at the decoration of the gate, you can tell that the school is definitely not a place that just anyone can enter.

The reputation of No. 1 High School is worthy of its gate. As one of the most famous high schools in southern China, No. 1 High School has a 985 university admission rate of over 40%, close to 50%, which means that its students are all pillars of the nation.

"Little Orange, how did your chat with that girl go?"

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Su Mu teased Chen Yuxuan, who was still sitting in front of the computer.

"Quick, put the sound on speaker and let a professional listen for you to see if the person on the other end is a real girl."

"Okay, Brother Mu is here. There just happened to be a pair of couple skins released recently. If the other side is a real girl, I'll give her one."

When Chen Yuxuan took off his headphones, he had a satisfied smile on his face, clearly captivated by the person opposite him.

As soon as I unplugged the computer speakers, a crisp, clear sound came out.

"Hey Orange, come top lane! I'm level 15 with Kayle, gank the enemy top laner for me, and I'll carry you to victory at level 16!"

Upon hearing this voice, Su Mu suddenly felt playful. He adjusted his voice and said in his usual female voice, "Orange, you're not going to play with me just to play games with other women?"

The woman's voice on the other end paused for a moment, then said, "Mu... the mummy is here."

Then the other side fell silent.

Su Mu also fell silent. Just now, the last bit of sound from the other end was obviously messed up. Although most people might not be able to tell the difference, Su Mumu, who had practiced voice imitation, had already recognized the person on the other end.

The two of them could remain silent, but Chen Yuxuan was getting anxious.

"Brother Mu, what are you doing? Hey Xiaoyun, don't be angry! That's my roommate, don't misunderstand. Also, there aren't any mummies this round!"

Upon hearing the notification "Yunxia Linhai exits the game," Su Mu skillfully switched QQ accounts, found Lin Xiujun's QQ, hesitated for a moment, and decided to say nothing.

Su Mu recognized Lin Xiuyun's voice, and naturally, Lin Xiuyun also recognized Su Mumu's voice.

Just as Su Mu was about to put down his phone, Lin Xiujun sent him a message.

"It's you, Mu Mu."

Then several more messages popped up—

No need to answer, I know it's you.

"Let's forget about this for now, and talk about it next time we meet, okay?"

Su Mu fell silent, and after a long pause, he typed "Mmm" in response. Then he put down his phone and collapsed onto the bed, completely ignoring Chen Yuxuan's incessant questioning beside him.

"Brother Mu, it's ten o'clock. The water and lights will be turned off in half an hour. Aren't you going to take a shower?" Xiang Yangxuan's voice rang in his ears, and Su Mu opened his eyes.

"Ah, it's already ten o'clock," Su Mu's voice carried a sense of dejection.

"Xiaoyang, if you ran away from home because of a fight with your parents and didn't come back for two years, and then one day, the secret you were willing to hide even if it meant running away from home was discovered, what would you do?"

Xiang Yangxuan was stunned. This was the first time Su Mu had ever talked to them about his family. But faced with Su Mu's blank look, Xiang Yangxuan found himself unable to offer any advice.

"Well, family members shouldn't hold grudges overnight. What if you meet with your parents and everything is cleared up?"

"Overnight? But it's been two years, over seven hundred nights. Can they still accept me?"

Su Mu sighed, took out a change of clothes from his wardrobe, and headed to the bathroom.

Stepping into the bathroom, beneath the removed clothes lies skin that countless girls envy, slender arms and legs that can ignite the desires of countless men.
