Chapter 287 284. Roommate
“An Han, do you know that girl from earlier?”
After the two of them walked through the school gate, Long Xing suddenly reacted.
He looked at An Han excitedly, his eyes shining.
He was the only one left single in the whole dorm. His first love had already left him so devastated that he doubted life itself. Now that he had once again met a girl he fell in love with at first sight, he didn’t want to let this chance slip away.
“I don’t know her.”
“But I saw you smiling at that girl just now?”
Long Xing subconsciously moved closer to An Han, but she quickly stepped back two steps. She shook her head like a rattle drum and firmly repeated, “I really don’t know her!”
“This…”
Seeing Long Xing’s eyes suddenly dim, An Han felt a little sorry inside.
After all, he was also a man who had been hurt because of her.
“It’s fine. She must live nearby. There’ll always be a chance to see her again.”
Long Xing encouraged himself out loud, but his expression didn’t look encouraged at all. Instead, he sighed and continued walking toward the dormitory building.
The first time he met the girl he fell in love with at first sight, it turned out to be his roommate cross-dressing. Although it had now been confirmed that this roommate was actually a girl, Su Peng had already beaten him to it.
The second time he fell in love at first sight, the girl was someone wearing a qipao at the cosplay convention—but that girl was still An Han.
And this third time…
Long Xing suddenly asked in shock, “That girl couldn’t possibly be your shadow clone, right?”
“…”
An Han pursed her lips, turned her head aside, and ignored him.
“I think I’ve got some psychological trauma.” Long Xing knew his question was stupid and scratched his prickly buzz-cut awkwardly.
There were also very few students visible inside the school. When the two passed the cafeteria, they went inside to take a look and found that none of the food stalls were open yet. It seemed that today they could only order takeout.
The convenience store was open though, and the owner inside was dozing on the table.
After buying a bottle of sugar-free cola, An Han finally couldn’t hold back and advised him once they walked out of the store.
“Brother Long, how about you just forget it?”
“Forget what?”
“That girl… She’s pretty. There’s no way she’d be interested in you.”
Long Xing immediately asked angrily, “What’s wrong with me? Why wouldn’t she like me?”
“The main thing is that love at first sight is too unreliable… What if she already has a boyfriend? Or even a husband?”
“Then I’ll just wait for the next one. How would I know if I don’t try?”
He simply wouldn’t listen, stubborn as ever.
An Han paused for a moment and complained, “I think you’re just attracted by her looks. Calling it love at first sight…”
Normally such words could just be ignored.
But Long Xing had also once fallen in love with An Han at first sight… If he didn’t defend himself now, wouldn’t that mean he was admitting that his feelings for An Han had also just been lust?
After all, they had been roommates for several years. They still had to attend classes together in the future.
“You’re making something beautiful like love sound so vulgar,” Long Xing argued, though he felt very guilty. Then he suddenly declared with great confidence, “Unless that girl already has a partner, I’m definitely going to try pursuing her. I have to try before I know the result!”
An Han nodded lifelessly.
She had a bad feeling things were heading in an unpredictable direction.
【Option 1: Help Long Xing pursue the girl he likes. Reward: A luxury car.
Option 2: Persuade Long Xing to completely give up. Reward: Beginner makeup skills.
Option 3: Wait and observe how things develop. Reward: Random attribute point.】
Sure enough, the thing she feared most had happened.
The system always liked to add fuel to the fire in situations that could make her die of embarrassment.
Her expression became even more helpless.
Just earlier she had thought about helping Long Xing solve his single problem. But could he not pick someone else… That girl was someone she truly had no way to deal with!
She had already tried persuading him to give up just now, but it clearly had no effect. Instead, it seemed like he treated it as teasing, which only ignited his fighting spirit.
As for task three, it would add some strange attribute again.
If it ended up adding to her figure, then she would definitely reach a C cup.
It was already big enough. If it got any bigger, she might not even be able to see her feet when looking down. And every time she chose task three, the expansion of her chest circumference became harder to control.
Right now she could barely accept a C cup, but in the future… even an F cup might be something she’d have to grit her teeth and endure.
When they entered the boys’ dormitory building, An Han timed her words with the countdown of the task selection.
“Brother Long… I actually do know that girl… That’s why I said it’s impossible.”
“Stop trying to persuade me. I’d chase her even if she were a guy!”
“……”
【Task three selected. Please complete it as soon as possible】
Forget it. Let everything burn down. It has nothing to do with me anyway.
He was completely impossible to persuade!
Long Xing must have been stimulated too much! It was all Chen Junjie and Wang Sheng’s fault for constantly showing off their relationships on social media. After a whole winter vacation of that, Long Xing had become this extreme!
The task was simple—just quietly observe what happened next.
Once the matter reached a conclusion, the task would naturally be completed. An Han didn’t really need to do anything.
The only thing she had to worry about was the body attribute.
Long Xing still seemed annoyed by what she said earlier. He remained silent while walking upstairs, deep in thought. Only when they reached the dorm room door did he react and unlock it with the key.
No one had entered the room for a month, and a damp, musty smell filled the air.
Before leaving last semester, the roommates had already cleaned up. There was no trash, but a thin layer of dust had settled on the floor and desks.
“I can’t believe you guys actually knew to clean before leaving.”
“Wang Sheng forced us to do it. He wouldn’t let us leave otherwise,” Long Xing said casually, taking down a towel from last semester, wiping a chair, and sitting down.
Wang Sheng was somewhat of a neat freak. The roommates’ harassment had almost cured it, but after An Han left, his cleanliness obsession seemed to relapse again.
Returning to the dorm after so long felt strangely familiar.
An Han looked around the room and noticed that Chen Junjie had moved back to the lower bunk under Long Xing, while her former upper bunk was completely empty with only the bed board left.
“Where are my bamboo mat and mattress?”
“Junjie put them in the wardrobe for you.”
“Like a weasel paying a New Year visit to a chicken…” she muttered, opening the large wardrobe. Sure enough, her mattress was inside. “Wasn’t he always insisting on sleeping on the top bunk? Why did he move back down?”
Long Xing looked back at An Han’s figure and found it amusing.
“He said climbing down at night to use the bathroom was inconvenient. After two days he switched back.”
“I think he just left the spot for you waiting for you to come back.”
An Han subconsciously retorted, “Waiting for me to come back so he can laugh at me for looking feminine?”
Inside the large wooden wardrobe were still some of her old men’s clothes, neatly folded in the lower compartment.
“Wang Sheng organized the wardrobe. He said it looked messy and it bothered him. He was even worried you’d scold him for touching your things.”
An Han complained, “Has Wang Sheng’s condition already developed into OCD?”
If Wang Sheng were a girl, he would definitely be the type with maxed-out housekeeping skills—a perfect virtuous wife. Even An Han’s mother was too lazy to organize her wardrobe this neatly.
She took a bag from the wardrobe and stuffed all her men’s clothes into it, planning to take them away when she left later.
After that, An Han took down her old towel, went to the balcony to wet it a little, and used it as a rag to wipe the desks and chairs.
“Brother Long, help me out!”
“It’s just a little dust,” Long Xing said. He was still thinking about how to meet that girl again and had no mood for anything else.
“Hurry up!”
