Chapter 199 197. Embarrassing
“Eh, really? The first time Wang Sheng stayed out overnight, he was totally drained?” “Totally. Those dark circles, that face—he looked like he’d been sucked dry by a fox spirit all night. Slept almost a full day afterward, and when he got up his legs were still weak. He could barely walk.” “That’s terrifying~” An Han clicked her tongue in amazement. “His girlfriend is way too powerful!”
She couldn’t imagine that scene, let alone what Wang Sheng had actually gone through that night.
“He took days to recover, and just when he was finally better, he went out overnight again,” Chen Junjie shook his head with the air of a seasoned veteran. “Youth doesn’t know how precious essence is.”
The two of them whispered conspiratorially, afraid Wang Sheng, who was sitting not far away, might overhear.
An Han couldn’t imagine what terrifying things Wang Sheng had encountered that night. She was a little curious, mixed with a bit of male psychology yearning for that kind of experience—then immediately regretted that she’d kept herself pure for twenty years, only to end up a girl now, completely unable to experience what Wang Sheng had.
Resting her chin on one hand, she stared at the teacher lecturing at the podium, then turned her head to look at Su Peng sitting in the very last row. That guy was actually knitting something.
Lately, almost every time before and after class, she could see Su Peng holding needles and yarn.
“What’s he up to? Is it a gift for someone?” Chen Junjie also turned to glance back. “Which girl is so lucky?” “Who knows,” An Han replied casually.
She then opened her textbook and looked at the clearly marked sections of key points, her head starting to ache. Memorizing was really not her strong suit.
The system had once offered a guaranteed-pass exam reward, but she hadn’t chosen it—and now she regretted it. Thinking carefully, that attribute was absurdly powerful. She could grind certifications like crazy in college, get all kinds of advanced licenses after graduation, and even have a big advantage in civil service exams.
She’d really taken a loss.
But with summer vacation drawing closer, what An Han wanted more was a reward for a female identity. If the system could change her family’s perception, making them believe she had been a girl from childhood to now…
She sighed, shook off the increasingly scattered thoughts in her head, and focused on memorizing to deal with the exams.
After the noon class, An Han didn’t have much appetite. Watching her classmates leave in a noisy crowd, she picked up her textbook, stood up, and said, “I’m going to the library to keep memorizing. You guys go eat.” “You’re actually pretty diligent now,” Chen Junjie said with his usual sarcastic tone. Long Xing just glanced at her and nodded.
“If only I’d memorized a bit earlier when I had time,” An Han sighed softly.
She was about to leave through the back door when she saw Lin Yi already sitting on a desk, waving at her. “An Han~” “What’s up?” She hurried over, afraid of neglecting this tool person.
Lin Yi seemed to have completely accepted An Han as a girl. As soon as she came closer, Lin Yi hooked an arm around her neck, pressed close to her face, and asked intimately, “Are you still helping Su Peng find a girlfriend?” “Huh?” An Han still wasn’t used to being so close to girls. Her body stiffened, and she didn’t even have time to care about the slight physical and psychological resistance. “I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. I can consider Su Peng now.”
This girl really was something… An Han was at a loss for words.
If you said Lin Yi had principles, she was already looking for the next option just a day after breaking up. If you said she didn’t, she had firmly resisted all other handsome guys while she was in a relationship.
“What’s wrong?” “Su Peng has a girlfriend,” An Han shook her head. “You’re too late.” Lin Yi looked as if she’d expected that. “No wonder I’ve seen him making gloves lately. He must be giving them to his girlfriend.” “Right?”
She examined An Han’s delicate, poreless face up close and clicked her tongue. “He’s not making them for you, is he?” “……”
An Han froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, asking suspiciously, “Are you here to gather intel?” “Well, I’m closest to you,” Lin Yi lowered her voice. “Spill it—his girlfriend is pretty, right? Lots of girls in our class are waiting for him.”
Although quite a few girls did like Su Peng, none had ever actively gone after him over the past few years. It seemed Lin Yi’s circle of friends were all the passive type.
An Han had originally planned to make something up, but after looking at Lin Yi’s face, then her impressive chest, and finally glancing down at herself— Although Lin Yi’s skin was a bit worse than hers, her features were in no way inferior…
“Gorgeous! I saw her once from afar. A rich family’s young lady—seems like she met Su Peng through a blind date.” An Han recalled the girl Su Peng had gone on a blind date with last time and tried her best to describe her features.
“Prettier than you?” “Prettier than me? Mm, prettier.”
Lin Yi immediately wilted and sighed. “I finally break up, and Su Peng already has a girlfriend…” “Anyway, I’m going to the library.”
An Han brushed past Lin Yi, afraid that talking too much might expose something. If you really counted it, Su Peng was still technically single. Although she and Su Peng were fairly close and occasionally went out together on weekends, neither of them had ever confessed.
Of course, even if Su Peng did confess, An Han probably wouldn’t be able to accept it. She preferred this ambiguous, not-quite-lovers state. It didn’t put too much psychological pressure on her, and it wouldn’t lead to overly intimate, close-distance contact with Su Peng…
That would be way too scary.
Holding her textbook in one hand and occasionally brushing her bangs aside with the other, An Han walked toward the library in small steps. But when she passed a pane of glass, she suddenly stopped.
She glanced sideways, stepped back, then forward, her eyes fixed on the reflection of the petite girl in the glass. She already looked completely like a girl. Although she was taller than average, her frame was slender and delicate, without the imposing feeling tall girls often gave. Even the way she walked looked gentle and cute. She seemed quiet and refined, no longer as lively as before.
That liveliness only came out around friends. With her current image, it was no wonder uncles and aunties liked her so much.
She gave her reflection a sweet smile. Very cute—unfortunately, it was herself.
“An Han.”
She immediately straightened up and turned around in slight panic, then relaxed when she saw it was Su Peng. It didn’t matter if Su Peng had seen that self-admiring moment just now.
“Let’s go to the library together.” Su Peng quickly walked over, then pulled out two knitted gloves from his pocket. “Here—your hands are always red.”
An Han froze for a moment, but it was because of how ugly the gloves were—and Su Peng’s shocking efficiency. She took the gloves, about to say something, but saw Su Peng already striding ahead.
She jogged to catch up. “I really like them!” Su Peng looked a bit embarrassed, not daring to look at her. “They’re too ugly. I didn’t even dare give them to you—so embarrassing.” “In a couple of days, the gloves I ordered online should arrive. I’ll give you those then. You can do whatever you want with these.” “Then I’ll wear them every day and make you lose face!”
