Chapter 264 161. New Task
After quickly finishing dinner, An Han sprinted back up to her third-floor bedroom and locked the door, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
She decided she wouldn't leave the bedroom even if it killed her!
By tomorrow, her parents' anger would probably have subsided.
Lying flat on her bed, An Han stared at the ceiling. While waiting for her parents' judgment, she recalled Su Peng's earlier confession.
"Getting all touchy-feely..."
Although her body didn't reject it, psychologically, she still inexplicably felt the illusion that she was engaging in a gay relationship.
Being with Su Peng made it way too easy to get carried away; she had almost given herself away completely.
She buried her flushed face in her pillow, unable to stop herself from letting out a marmot-like "Ahhh!" scream as she recalled what had happened at noon.
At the time, it was just shyness, but thinking back on it now, it felt like pure humiliation.
She hadn't been lying in bed for long when there was a sudden knock on the door.
An Han shivered and immediately rolled over to look at the door, only to hear her younger sister's voice from outside.
"Sis! Open the door~ I want to sleep!"
"What time is it even? What's there to sleep for?"
She slowly got up from the bed, about to open the door, but then worried it might be a trick by her parents to lure her out.
But she couldn't just let her sister sleep on the first-floor sofa, right? The parents' bedroom on the second floor wasn't convenient either; with her sister there, the two of them wouldn't be able to do anything.
An Han hesitantly opened the door a crack. Peeking out through the gap, she saw only her sister.
Relieved, she opened the door and said, "It's only seven o'clock. You're probably just here to play games."
"Sis, why do you keep locking the door! Are you feeling guilty?"
"..."
She was indeed feeling guilty.
"Sis! Did you go out on a date with that handsome guy?!" Her sister grabbed the hem of An Han's clothes, brimming with curiosity, chattering endlessly as she followed behind her. "Are you going to have a baby?!"
An Han's breathing quickened. Her face turned bright red as she shot her sister a fierce glare.
Averting her sister's gaze, she tried hard to calm her emotions and walked straight to the computer. "What game do you want to play?"
She intended to use a game to shut her sister's reckless, big mouth!
If that didn't work, she'd just sew it shut with a needle and thread!
"Sis, hurry up and give birth to one for me to play with!"
An Han finally lost it and slapped the back of her sister's head. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"
Her sister pouted aggrievedly, covering the back of her head with both hands, instantly withdrawing into a sulk.
"What game? That shooting one from last time?"
"No, I can't hit anyone in that game."
So, An Han opened a web-based version of CrossFire, pushed the mouse over, got up, and went back to bed.
Kids these days knew a lot, but only half-understood things, not knowing what they should and shouldn't say.
An Han was in a chat group where twelve- or thirteen-year-old brats were all clamoring to see dirty pics, whereas when she was that age, her head was filled with nothing but playing.
After consoling herself a bit, her anger toward her sister dissipated.
"Sis, when are you planning to have a baby?"
Her anger instantly flared up again!
"In ten years!"
She roared angrily, threw the blanket over herself, and hid entirely underneath it.
Better to sleep early. Once asleep, she wouldn't get mad because of her sister, and her parents probably wouldn't drag her out of bed to scold her.
Even if she couldn't sleep, she'd pretend to be asleep...
After only about ten minutes, An Han started snoring.
She hadn't slept well these past two days. The first night, she had slept in a cheap hotel and was kept awake by the surrounding noise. Then she had stayed at Su Peng's house, and again couldn't sleep well due to feeling constrained and nervous.
......
When she woke up, it was only 5:00 AM.
Her sister was snoring beside her. Despite her petite, flat-chested frame, her snores were louder than Long Xing's after a drinking binge. They were earth-shattering, as if the entire bed was vibrating along with her snores.
She wanted to go back to sleep, but the snoring was so loud that falling asleep again was completely impossible.
"I wonder if Mom and Dad came looking for me last night."
An Han muttered as she got out of bed, her stomach feeling a bit hungry.
Aside from her sister's snoring, she could also hear the footsteps of pedestrians in the alley. Early-rising seniors were chatting away, and the breakfast shop barely ten meters from her house seemed exceptionally bustling right now, with a faint clamor drifting over.
Compared to the soundproofing at school, her home located in a busy alley was obviously much worse.
An Han couldn't sleep anyway, so she picked up her phone and replied to the message Su Peng had left last night.
"I went to sleep too early, didn't see it."
"Good morning."
After sending two messages in a row, she hesitated for a moment before drafting another message: "Could you come over to my house sometime soon? My parents don't really approve of us."
Always hiding it wasn't good either. It would be better to have Su Peng come over and show off his good side, or at least divert her angry parents' attention.
"But we just started dating... having him come to the house makes it feel like we're discussing marriage."
She hesitated and didn't send the drafted message. An Han paced slowly around the room in trepidation, not knowing what to do next.
"If Mom and Dad find out he's going abroad in a few months, they might disapprove even more."
Su Peng going abroad wasn't a big deal to An Han. After all, technology is advanced nowadays, and they could communicate via messages and video calls even from thousands of miles away.
As for herself... even being with Su Peng gave her the illusion of being in a gay relationship; being with any other man would be even more impossible.
This illusion could only be worn away bit by bit with time. After all, nearly twenty years of a male mindset wasn't something that would dissipate so easily.
Being able to treat Lin Yue—who used to perfectly match her fetishes—as a bestie without having any dirty thoughts meant her male mindset was already being suppressed quite well.
Yawning, An Han wrapped herself in a padded jacket.
"A mature big sister aura... Just waiting for a loli aura, and then I can be both mature and cute."
An Han glanced at the trench coat in her wardrobe but had no intention of acting mature in front of her parents.
After all, no matter how mature someone is, they are always a child in front of their parents. It wouldn't make a difference anyway, and it would only make it easier for them to notice something off about her.
[Option 1: Get your parents to approve of and like Su Peng. Reward: A marital home]
[Option 2: Invite Su Peng over and let him confess everything. Reward: Unlock more positions.]
[Option 3: Confess to your parents, detailing your "crimes" with Su Peng. Reward: Random stat points.]
Ah, this...
Just as An Han opened the bedroom door, she saw these sudden system prompts pop up one after another.
Obviously, the system was fanning the flames.
Her body froze on the spot as she carefully analyzed the three tasks.
The easiest one, Task Three, simply came at the cost of her own shame. After all, "detailing" it meant she'd probably have to explain the confession, the kissing, getting her waist touched, and maybe even her acting horny... That was way more terrifying than social death, considering the audience was her parents.
The second task... shifted the burden onto Su Peng. Whether it could be completed relied entirely on whether Su Peng was sharp enough, and the task reward also carried an obvious erotic undertone.
The first task was basically a combination of the two: getting her parents to fully approve of Su Peng in every aspect. No matter how she thought about it, it was just too difficult.
After remaining silent for a long time, An Han glanced at the countdown timer and decided to go eat breakfast first.
She also sent the message she had drafted earlier to Su Peng, then sent a window nudge, followed by a video call request.
If Su Peng was confident and believed he could win her parents' favor, then both Task One and Task Two could be considered.
