Chapter 493: I Can’t Tell

Xia Xibei was taken aback by Tang Luo’s reaction.

“Why not?”

This was the question she had deep in her heart.

Ever since she found out that Tang Luo was a girl, she had always had this doubt.

It was really difficult for a girl to live as a boy. Also, it took a lot of effort to keep people from finding out who you were.

It was not easy to keep a secret.

If Tang Luo lived by herself, it would be relatively simple.

But she lived with the Mo family and had to face the concerns of the three members of the Mo family, which was not easy.

Moreover, she had been living with the Mo family for years!

For years now, her real gender had not been revealed. Not many people knew how much work was involved.

Had Xia Xibei not been a doctor and highly skilled in medicine, she would not have known how much Tang Luo had paid for this.

Not to mention anything else, one issue was Tang Luo’s physical development.

Tang Luo was now 18 years old, but her chest development was not very good. After all, she often had to bind her chest, so how could she not be affected?

If she developed normally, her chest would be much bigger than it was now!

She was greatly affected by the long-term chest binding.

If this continued, even her blood circulation would be affected.

It was also why Tang Luo’s health had not been very good.

“I can’t tell.” Tang Luo shook her head with a bitter face, “If I reveal my identity, nothing good will happen.”

If she had been reborn earlier and that incident hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t have needed to be so conflicted.

Why did fate play tricks on her like that?

“It can’t be that bad?” Xia Xibei frowned.

“It is.” Tang Luo said seriously, “In fact, my mother told me before she passed away that I absolutely cannot let others know my gender!”

“Why not?”

“She didn’t say too much, she just said that once I reveal my gender, something very bad will happen.”

And in her previous life, she really didn’t encounter any good things after being exposed. It was one hardship after another.

“But how can this work?” Xia Xibei was surprised, “What about your future? Don’t you need to leave the house in the future?”

Now her body was affected; afterwards, her life would be affected.

Tang Luo nodded, “That’s why I chose to study computer science!”

With a computer, when the time came, she could just stay at home.

Besides, in a few years, takeout and deliveries would be everywhere, and life would be so convenient that you wouldn’t need to worry about it.

The corners of Xia Xibei’s mouth twitched. She was thinking really far ahead!

“Okay.”

Since she had said so, what else could Xia Xibei say?

“Then what are you going to do? Keep lying?”

“Right!” Tang Luo nodded firmly. “I absolutely can’t let him know of my gender!”

Looking at her determined look, Xia Xibei was in shock. She had a feeling that something had happened between her and Mo Bonan.

What a pity that Xia Xibei was not familiar with Tang Luo in her first life, and did not know what happened to her afterwards, having no way to give advice.

“All right, I’ll help you.”

“How?” Tang Luo’s eyes lit up.

“Simple,” Xia Xibei smiled. “I’ll teach you how to swim.”

Tang Luo’s eyes widened as realization dawned on her, “Right! You can teach me how to swim!”

If Xia Xibei taught her to swim, there would be no need for Mo Bonan to step in.

“I’ll make you a girdle.” Xia Xibei continued. “Unless you take off your clothes or someone touches your chest, no one will find out.”
