Chapter 242 239. Father
In her father’s impression, An Han, though fairly delicate-looking, could never really pass as a girl.
This time, she returned still with that familiar delicate appearance. Although her brows now carried a hint of feminine softness, her face was almost exactly the same as before—at most, her features were slightly more refined.
But now…
He stared blankly at An Han, still in male clothes but without makeup, taking in her smooth skin, delicate and small features, and eyelashes that drooped like a folding fan…
The gentle, feminine aura between her brows now perfectly suited her face, and the way she carried herself added to her feminine charm. Compared to the daughter of his friend, Lin Yue, it seemed his own child might even be more beautiful.
Almost instinctively, her father asked, “An Han?”
“Mm…”
Because of past conflicts, her parents had divorced, and An Han feared that her current situation might ignite further tension between them. So she sacrificed herself—removing her makeup so her father would focus on her, rather than on her mother having deceived him…
Yet her father’s dumbfounded expression made her pause.
“W-what’s wrong?” An Han, unable to endure her father’s astonished gaze, went to sit beside her mother, shyly and timidly lowering her head, hiding behind her mother.
“Your face… wasn’t like this before.”
“I was wearing makeup,” An Han said softly, almost inaudibly.
Her shoulders trembled slightly. Even though her father didn’t react explosively as she had imagined, she still worried it might just be the calm before the storm.
Instinctively, she grabbed the corner of her mother’s clothes, not daring to meet her father’s eyes, and mumbled quietly, “I…I’ve become a girl.”
Her mother reached out to gently pat her head, smiling: “It’s okay.”
“Mm.”
An Han’s emotions calmed a little, and she instinctively checked the system.
【Father: Affection 89】
Why did it go up even more?
She was surprised, suddenly realizing things might not be as terrifying as she had imagined.
Looking at her father, his eyes still showed disbelief and surprise, but not the revulsion she had feared in her dreams.
After staring for a long moment, her father rubbed his temples and said, “How did this happen so suddenly…”
“Well, it’s not too bad, right?” He seemed to be consoling himself. “At least we don’t have to worry about her future finding a… boyfriend.”
Her mother shot him a glare.
Her father smiled awkwardly. Watching An Han’s demeanor, he took a deep breath and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I was afraid you wouldn’t accept it…”
From previous conversations, An Han knew her father’s greatest hope had been for her to live a normal life—get married, have children. He never pressured her too much, always taking care of the family and wanting to buy her a house and a car, just so she could find a good partner. Perhaps he had once hoped for a high-flying son, but An Han had only gone to an ordinary university… and now, she had become a girl.
She glanced again at her father’s affection level.
Seeing the look in his eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although the affection had risen, there were no signs of her father’s love turning into something inappropriate. His gaze contained no possessiveness one might expect from a man looking at a beautiful woman…
“There’s nothing to be unable to accept…” Her father let out a small, stubborn sigh.
Indeed, it was hard to accept, but because An Han had become a girl with enough beauty, his inner resistance and anger faded considerably. He now understood why there had been all those strange rumors outside—turns out they were true.
Rubbing his temples again, he looked up at An Han.
Her face still vaguely resembled her old one, but her skin was slightly paler, her eyes larger, her face smaller and softer. These small changes combined to turn his son into a graceful young girl. Not quite breathtakingly beautiful, but definitely high-value in looks.
An Han’s tense body gradually relaxed, though her cheeks still flushed under her father’s gaze.
【Task Completed】
Finally, the task was done.
【Reward Obtained: Reasonable and Legal Explanation】
You received a medical report—anyone who sees it will acknowledge your identity.
Was this… a system item?
An Han scowled. These system items looked strong but were actually traps. Who knew what side effects this medical report might have!
“After the new year, we’ll take you for a check-up,” her mother said, still smiling as she patted An Han’s head, almost addicted to doing so. “When school starts, we’ll update your school records.”
Her hair now a messy nest from being tousled, An Han didn’t resist, only worried about going bald from all the patting.
Her father didn’t speak either, but he stopped scrutinizing her face, simply eating the remaining food, still looking somewhat odd. At least there was no extreme reaction.
An Han glanced at him and nodded, agreeing to her mother’s plan: “Mm.”
If she really went, she would likely have to visit the gynecologist…
The last gynecological exam had been a nightmare. Even her thick skin couldn’t endure a doctor examining her new body so thoroughly. She wondered if normal girls also disliked gynecological exams.
“Shall I go upstairs first?”
“From now on, just wear girl clothes at home.”
An Han looked at her father uneasily, thinking about dressing up nicely. Perhaps her father’s acceptance would increase.
Also, the newly acquired system item needed to be tested, and the best target was clearly her younger sister. Even if the medical report’s side effects activated on a glance, it likely wouldn’t affect her still-developing sister. Her sister hadn’t even gotten her first period yet.
An Han quietly ran upstairs, tiptoed, and peeked back down the stairs to observe her father’s reaction.
As expected, once she left, her father began to complain.
“An Han becoming a girl… now carrying on the family line is a problem…”
Her father was the only male of his generation, and An Han had been his only son. Now she had become a daughter—there was no one to continue the family line.
“Suddenly turning into a girl, and if this gets out, where will I put my face?” He continued complaining. “I was going to buy a house for An Han, arrange a marriage, set up matchmaking…”
In fact, the news had already spread; neighbors and relatives on her mother’s side already knew.
An Han muttered in her mind, unwilling to continue listening to her father’s complaints, quietly stood up, and went back to her room.
Though her father was complaining, after raising a son for twenty years who suddenly became a daughter, some complaining was understandable.
Back in her room, An Han quickly retrieved the system item: the medical report.
“I wonder what the side effects are.”
