Chapter 236 233. Blind Date
At noon, An Han followed her father down the streets of the small town with a sense of utter resignation.
Their home was in the commercial center of the town, so everything was convenient, including going on a blind date. Considering the location of the meeting was only about a ten-minute walk away, she was too lazy to refuse her father.
Once she stepped outside, the flood of “affection points” notifications on her screen made her nerves nearly snap.
【Passerby A’s affection +10】
【Passerby B’s affection +10】
【Passerby C…】
【Passerby AA…】
Any male within a one-meter radius of her was basically attracted by her charm, glanced at her, and instantly triggered the affection point alert.
Terrifying…
An Han thought that if she walked around the town a few more times, the whole place might end up like her personal harem. Fortunately, the passersby’s initial affection for her was low, so even adding ten points wasn’t too significant.
“An Han, say something nice on the date, try to show some emotional intelligence.”
“I’m not trying to get you married this early. It’s just so you can meet girls—if you like someone, all the better.”
Her father kept nagging, but her attention was entirely on the constant stream of system notifications.
【Passerby C’s affection +10】
“Why did you walk in a circle and come back here?”
An Han turned to glare at the passerby who had just brushed past her.
“We’re here.”
She stumbled slightly, bumping into her father’s back.
He looked her over, sighed heavily, and said, “Why are you so short? And you’re not even wearing something to make yourself taller for a blind date.”
“….” An Han rubbed her forehead and muttered under her breath.
Isn’t that your genes’ problem?!
Her father, seeing her slightly pitiful and aggrieved expression, didn’t say anything further. He pointed to a girl inside the restaurant: “That’s her. Her name’s Lin Yue. Go ahead; I won’t stay.”
【Father’s affection +4】
Her affection points officially surpassed eighty!
Following her father’s gesture, she saw a petite, lovely girl with long straight black hair wearing fitted jeans. Instantly, her gaze drifted downward unconsciously.
Not bad… but my legs still look better.
“Don’t be nervous.” Her father patted her shoulder.
“Mm.”
An Han roughly understood that the “ideal wife” reward from the system’s first task probably referred to this girl. Her appearance fell within An Han’s previous preferences: pure, cute face, long legs like a girl group member, and a seemingly gentle, easily teased personality… If this were a guy, encountering such a pretty girl on a blind date would definitely keep her awake at night.
Making her cry would be fun, right?
An Han pursed her lips and nervously approached her date, secretly asking the system:
System, what’s Lin Yue’s affection for me?
【Lin Yue: affection 35】
Not bad~
Even though this girl had only seen An Han’s old photos. Looks like she also fell within Lin Yue’s preference range back then?
As soon as she neared the table, Lin Yue looked up. The moment she saw An Han, she stood gracefully, extended a hand, and said in a clear, flowing voice, “Hello, you must be An Han? I’m Lin Yue.”
A well-mannered girl.
An Han forced a businesslike smile and awkwardly shook her hand.
This is way too formal…
“You… look a bit different from the photo.”
Sitting across from each other, Lin Yue studied An Han’s face, sensing something was slightly off.
“Really? You look just as pretty as in the photo.”
【Lin Yue’s affection +10】
Her words made Lin Yue happy, and she nodded with a smile: “Let’s order first.”
Outside, seeing the two getting along reasonably well, her father relaxed and strolled toward the street corner to meet some old friends.
An Han immediately felt the tension ease as her father’s gaze left her. She slumped in her chair, resting her elbow on the table and her chin in her hand.
“What do you want to eat?” Lin Yue, still in her obedient-girl manner, asked.
“I’m fine with anything…”
“Did you put on makeup?” Lin Yue leaned closer, noticing An Han’s makeup.
“Ah?”
An Han scratched her cheek lightly and replied helplessly, “Yeah…”
“You can do makeup? I can’t at all.”
【Lin Yue’s affection +10】
An Han was a little scared. Could the chest binder also affect girls?
If being a boy and wearing makeup wasn’t supposed to add points, why did it increase her affection?
If this continued, the girl might actually start liking her!
Flustered, An Han casually ordered some dishes, then moved the menu aside and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”
There’s no way I’m having a yuri thing with a girl~
“Mm-hm!”
She needed to go to the restroom to remove the chest binder. If every passing waiter kept adding affection points, the whole restaurant could fall in love with her during one meal.
But she couldn’t remove her makeup. If Lin Yue discovered her true gender, her father would also find out. One ruined blind date was enough—no need to reveal everything.
Lin Yue seemed to enjoy the date, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. Watching An Han leave, she muttered softly, “Such a cute boy~”
Then she saw An Han hesitate at the restroom door, look around, and finally enter the women’s restroom…
Her crescent-like eyes widened into full moons. Lin Yue froze, completely baffled.
“Th-this? Did he go to the wrong restroom?”
By the time the first dish arrived, An Han had removed her makeup and chest binder and returned to the table.
She noticed Lin Yue still in shock, her mind evidently in chaos.
“Lin Yue?”
She prompted gently, feeling mischievous. Her chest was no longer under her control; even with a thick coat, a hint was visible. Fortunately, Lin Yue didn’t notice, only asked with surprise: “Why did you go into the women’s restroom?”
“I… went through the wrong door.”
An Han, feeling guilty, picked up a bite to defend herself.
【Lin Yue’s affection -3】
As expected, she thought he was a pervert…
An Han breathed a sigh of relief. Lowering Lin Yue’s affection was perfect—a sacrifice of her image to prevent Lin Yue from falling for her and getting hurt later. A reasonable trade.
The atmosphere at the table became a bit awkward. Lin Yue pursed her lips, watching An Han eat elegantly. The image of the thin, sunny boy in the photos gradually collapsed.
So girly!
But also… kind of cute!
This person is definitely more suitable as a best friend!
“By the way, you don’t like girls, right?” An Han asked Lin Yue to make sure everything was safe.
Lin Yue shook her head stiffly.
“Good.”
