At first, Shi Qingxuan just kind of looks at him, brain processing the words that aren't the expected, "haha, no," or the rarer, "oh, yes," and she sits there, all wide-eyed and baffled.

First sixteen years? Tried being a woman? Try out having a dick?!

Finally, her brain finishes processing, and it clicks. It's a literal, "Oh," moment where she mumbles just that.

Frankly, she likes - loves - having friends crossdress with her. It's fun! It's exciting to see! It makes the whole designated goddess by believers thing a bit less lonely...

Now this suddenly feels somewhat awkward. More than being rejected in the usual way would.
