Chapter 286 283. Love at First Sight Is True Love
Seeing An Han in women’s clothes once again...
That familiar feeling of being smitten returned. His heartbeat began to race uncontrollably, and his face flushed red.
Look at that figure, that short hair, and those long legs—every single detail perfectly matched his preferences!
Only... that chest.
The flat chest from before was gone. At some point it had grown large enough to naturally draw people’s attention, yet it strangely reduced Long Xing’s excitement quite a bit.
Then he thought about Su Peng, who had already gotten there first...
It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Long Xing instantly sobered up.
He suppressed the excitement of seeing An Han again and tried his best to behave as usual. But when An Han walked toward him, he still couldn’t stop his body from stiffening slightly.
“Brother Long! Want to climb the wall together?” An Han waved and asked. “The back gate is locked! I can’t get in!”
But just as she finished speaking and walked toward him enthusiastically, her expression suddenly stiffened. The innocent look in her eyes instantly turned slightly cautious.
“We can just use another gate,” Long Xing said, glancing at the tall fence. “I’m carrying luggage anyway. Climbing over isn’t convenient.”
“Alright.”
Although he sensed the slight change in An Han’s tone, he didn’t think much about it. After she came closer, they walked side by side toward the school’s main gate.
As usual, An Han was lively and talkative.
“Why did you come early too? School doesn’t start until the day after tomorrow, and registration is tomorrow.”
“Nothing to do at home. My parents nag me every day.”
“They’re super enthusiastic when you first get home, right? After a week they start finding you annoying.”
“All parents are like that.”
Although An Han was chatting, her eyes were secretly observing Long Xing’s stiff steps. She was also carefully controlling the distance between them to avoid too much physical contact that might raise his affection again.
She thought things had stabilized already. Who knew that just two glances from Long Xing would make his affection rise again!
Seriously?
You clearly know I’m Su Peng’s girlfriend!
“So you’re just wearing women’s clothes openly like this? Planning to make it public?” Long Xing finally couldn’t suppress his curiosity and glanced at An Han’s long legs wrapped in black stockings. “Aren’t you cold? It’s the middle of winter...”
“Nope. They’re thermal.”
Previously, she had planned to rely on her appearance to shock her dormmates. After all, sooner or later they would find out she had become a girl, so she might as well reveal it like a prank and see their reactions.
But who would’ve thought the first person she’d meet would be Long Xing? Now An Han was starting to regret not wearing something more modest.
As for men’s clothes… only the ones left in the dorm wardrobe remained. This time when returning to school, her suitcase didn’t contain a single piece of men’s clothing.
“Everyone will probably know I’m a girl soon anyway, so there’s no point hiding it,” An Han explained. “Besides, when the weather gets warmer, I can’t keep wearing a coat to cover up.”
“That’s true.”
Although a few students had already arrived early and were gathering near the main gate, there were only small scattered groups, making the street feel unusually quiet.
“I originally wanted to go back to the dorm to take a look. I probably won’t be able to return there again in the future. If you guys hadn’t arrived yet, I was planning to help clean up.”
“You could climb the wall at night and sneak in.”
“I’d rather not. It wouldn’t sound good if people found out.”
After a few minutes of interaction, Long Xing’s affection toward her didn’t increase any further.
It seemed that the changes in her appearance and figure during the winter break had simply surprised him, causing the sudden spike when they first met.
Having once been male herself, An Han understood that kind of situation very well.
Her previously vigilant gaze relaxed, and her tone became more casual and comfortable.
But Long Xing still looked nervous and stiff. Even the way his arms swung while walking looked unnatural. Although his appearance resembled a gangster’s henchman, right now he looked more like an innocent boy encountering a beautiful girl for the first time.
An Han could even feel his hesitant gaze repeatedly landing on her before quickly retreating.
“You seem to have gained a little weight over winter break,” she said, hands in her jacket pockets, glancing at his noticeably rounder face.
“Couldn’t work out at home. And I ate a lot.”
After not seeing him for a month, An Han was quite curious about his winter break and kept asking questions.
“Did your parents arrange any blind dates for you during the New Year?”
“I’m only in my early twenties. That’s way too early for blind dates.”
“Su Peng has already gone on several,” she said while looking at the unchanged campus scenery. “So did you meet any girl you liked?”
Long Xing shook his head silently.
“You’re the big brother of our dorm! Everyone else has a girlfriend except you—you’re the only single dog left!”
Last semester, the other roommates had gradually gotten girlfriends. Yet Long Xing—who had good looks and an excellent physique but an intimidating aura—barely had any girls approach him.
During the gym club recruitment event, he even endured the embarrassment of taking off his shirt to model as a fitness example. Most of the people who added him on WeChat turned out to be men.
Being single wasn’t the scary part. The scary part was being the only single one in the dorm.
“Meow~”
A small cat suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
Long Xing immediately crouched down and beckoned to it.
“Kitty, come here~”
The stray cat looked up with large black-pearl-like eyes and hesitated for a moment before wobbling closer and rubbing its head against Long Xing’s rough hand.
“Brother Long, don’t change the subject!”
An Han squatted beside him with her hands on her knees, watching him interact with the cat.
“Do you have any food on you?”
She checked her pockets and shook her head.
“No. I usually don’t eat snacks.”
Long Xing sighed helplessly and gently stroked the cat’s head, speaking softly.
“Go play with someone else. I don’t have food on me. I’ll bring some next time.”
Although he looked fierce, he was actually very gentle inside.
So why hasn’t any girl fallen for him?
An Han wondered silently, already starting to consider finding Long Xing a girlfriend.
After all, it was also for her own safety—to prevent his affection toward her from suddenly skyrocketing and causing awkward situations.
But suddenly Long Xing looked up at a tall, beautiful short-haired girl not far away.
“Hiss—”
Hearing his sharp intake of breath, An Han also looked up.
The next moment, she widened her eyes and also gasped.
“Hiss!”
“Xiao Han! I think I’m in love!”
“Why do you always fall in love at first sight...”
“Love at first sight is real love!” Long Xing said excitedly. “That first glance feeling is the most sincere! The most romantic!”
An Han stood up and gave the approaching girl an awkward but polite smile.
The girl paused. A hint of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes. Just as she was about to look more closely at An Han, her gaze suddenly landed on Long Xing.
Her expression instantly changed in alarm.
Before Long Xing could even stand up to greet her, she hurriedly turned the corner in her high heels and disappeared from sight.
“...”
An Han pressed her lips together silently.
Long Xing frowned, feeling like this scene seemed strangely familiar.
“I’m definitely going to remove my tattoo!”
