Chapter 237 234. Sorry
An Han was in a terrible mood.
If only she hadn’t turned into a woman…
While eating, she couldn’t stop herself from glancing up at the girl in front of her, but she could only lower her head bitterly and self-consciously, trying to eat as quickly as possible, eager to finish today’s blind date.
She really liked girls like Lin Yue—both in appearance and personality. To her, Lin Yue was exactly the ideal type of wife described by the system.
Seeing Lin Yue awakened the dormant male consciousness deep inside her, stirring restlessly. She could feel her inner urgency and desire, and she could feel her liking for Lin Yue.
If she hadn’t become a woman, today’s blind date would have been a perfect success.
They would exchange QQ or WeChat contacts, get each other’s phone numbers, look forward to meeting again tomorrow, their feelings growing stronger, eventually getting engaged and married under their parents’ witness. Like other men, she would grow into the pillar of a family, protecting Lin Yue from the winds and rains.
What a beautiful life that would be.
Most men would feel a similar impulse when meeting a girl they truly liked—suddenly, she understood how Long Xing felt when he fell in love with her at first sight.
But she could only bury her feelings deep inside, hiding the male consciousness once again in the shadows, deliberately spoiling Lin Yue’s impression of her…
An Han pressed her lips tightly, her frail shoulders trembling slightly.
She had thought she had fully adapted to life as a woman, that she had long forgotten her former male self.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Yue noticed that An Han’s eating had slowed, seeing the uncontrollable sadness on her face.
“Nothing… nothing at all.”
An Han looked up and forced a bright smile. “Let’s eat. After lunch, I’ll go back and take a nap.”
She complained about her father’s misdeeds: “I’m only twenty, and my dad insists on setting me up on a blind date. I don’t even know why he’s in such a hurry. You seem only eighteen or nineteen, right? Why are you so willing to come?”
“Because your photos looked nice…” Lin Yue lowered her head, blushing. “I like boys who are elegant, with a scholarly air.”
“…”
An Han was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
“The guys abroad are all big and rough—so annoying.”
She suddenly remembered that Lin Yue was currently studying overseas.
Her increasingly complex emotions made her lose her appetite, and she shoved some food in halfheartedly, leaving her only half full.
“Want to add me on WeChat?”
“Huh?”
Lin Yue already held out her phone with the QR code facing her. “Add me on WeChat. We can hang out when we have time.”
“Well, I guess that’s okay?”
An Han felt this blind date had already failed. Politely adding a contact wasn’t a big deal.
“You seem weird, like you’re hiding a lot of secrets,” Lin Yue said, smiling innocently, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her eyes were full of curiosity.
“Really?”
“Mm-hmm!”
【Lin Yue’s affection +5】
It had gone up again!
An Han didn’t know whether to feel happy or disappointed.
She turned casually, raising her hand to call the waiter, “Check, please!”
It was better to leave early before that male consciousness started rising again.
“I’ll pay!” Lin Yue had already pulled out her wallet.
“I can pay—it’s just scanning a code, no need to wait for change, more convenient,” An Han said, scanning the payment. “Don’t you have WeChat?”
“I don’t really use it abroad, and there’s not much money in it,” Lin Yue replied awkwardly. “Should we split it?”
“That’s too much trouble. My dad will reimburse it anyway.”
Lin Yue glanced at the leftover food on the table and said to the waiter handling the payment, “Can I get two takeout containers?”
“By the way, can you come with me to the bank to deposit some money? Cash is really inconvenient in China.”
After paying, An Han looked at Lin Yue, who was full of anticipation, and hesitantly nodded.
Her affection was still too high. She needed to lower it a bit, so she wouldn’t be trapped by Lin Yue later.
If she couldn’t control it, she’d have to reveal her female identity, preventing Lin Yue from truly falling for her and getting hurt because of gender.
By then, she wouldn’t even care if her father found out.
Leaving the restaurant, An Han carefully adjusted her posture, suppressing all her feminine movements.
She shoved her hands into her pockets in a “cool” manner, broadening her shoulders to appear wider.
“An Han! An Han! Look at this hat! Isn’t it cute?”
Lin Yue shed her restraint from the restaurant, weaving through the crowd like a butterfly, occasionally holding An Han’s arm, showing her favorite things.
“Relax, you seem so shy,” Lin Yue placed the new hat on An Han’s head, smiling sweetly. “It suits you!”
“Really? This is a girl’s hat.”
An Han removed the wide-brimmed hat and smiled brightly, warm and gentle.
“Your smile is so pretty!”
“Usually only guys say that…”
Lin Yue didn’t mind. The slight puff under her eyes was visible as she smiled, “Maybe because you’re a little feminine!”
“I think it’s elegant, actually.”
“Are we going out again tomorrow? I want to check out the new Walmart! Our small town finally has a Walmart! I want to see how it’s different from abroad!”
“An Han! Want some milk tea? I like cheese tea!”
“An Han~ what do you think of this dress?”
“An Han! You… why are you crying… is shopping with me so upsetting…”
Lin Yue stopped in front of An Han, confused, and pulled a tissue from her bag, offering it: “Don’t cry.”
“Sorry…”
“Why are you apologizing to me?”
…
By the time she got home, it was only one in the afternoon.
An Han entered the house expressionless. Her mother, washing dishes, turned at the sound of the door opening: “Back? How was the blind date?”
“Just okay.” She put the leftover takeout in the fridge. “Spent over two hundred. I’ll get Dad to reimburse me later.”
“Why do you look unhappy?”
“It’s fine, just completing a task. Why would I be happy or not?”
An Han kicked off her shoes and stumbled upstairs.
Her mother, puzzled, asked, “Where’s your dad?”
“Don’t know. I’m going to take a nap first.”
In the third-floor bathroom, An Han carefully washed off her makeup, looking up at the mirror at her beautiful, delicate face.
“Definitely not prettier than me.”
She stared blankly, talking to herself, staring at her face, at the rise and fall of her chest.
Her body weakened, she leaned on the sink, burying her head in her arms.
“Why me… why…”
