Chapter 20: Crisis!
“Ah~ my head hurts.”
An Han had already rejected three friend requests. Now, he simply put his phone down, out of sight, out of mind.
Behind him, Long Xing and Chen Junjie were openly discussing, right in front of him, how to keep bothering An Han.
“It’s useless, she’s completely ignoring me now.”
“How about I try adding her with my WeChat account?”
“Any other ideas?”
An Han thought Long Xing had completely lost it. Sure, some girls with softer personalities might give in after being pestered several times, but relationships that start that way never end well.
Chen Junjie’s repeated breakups were proof enough of that.
“Give it up already. You guys don’t even know the girl’s name,” An Han turned around, crossed one leg over the other, and said dryly, “She obviously doesn’t like you. Why keep chasing after her and embarrassing yourself?”
Long Xing let out a sigh.
An Han took the chance to add, “Can’t you pick another target? There are so many girls in this school, why just that one?”
“She’s just… special,” Long Xing said, resting his chin in his hand, recalling his moments with the girl. A soft, dreamy smile appeared on his face. “She’s not even that pretty, but whenever she talks, my heart beats faster. Just being around her makes me happy…”
“......”
A chill ran down An Han’s spine. His scalp tingled from the cringe.
He couldn’t stay in this dorm anymore.
He decided it was time to completely erase his cross-dressing image. Since Long Xing didn’t suspect him anymore, there was no reason to keep doing it. The more he did it, the higher the chance of getting caught.
He planned to wait until all his roommates were gone, then throw the women’s clothes into the trash.
“An Han!”
The dorm door suddenly burst open. Wu Dongming rushed in, looking panicked, grabbed his hand, and dragged him out.
“What are you doing?”
Caught off guard, An Han didn’t even have time to resist as he was pulled into the hallway.
Wu Dongming glanced around nervously before whispering, “Tomorrow night’s Friday! My parents are coming!”
“So what?”
An Han had almost forgotten what this was about.
“You have to help clear my name, okay?”
An Han immediately tensed up. He shook off Wu Dongming’s hand, leaned against the railing with one arm, and nodded seriously. “Don’t worry! Your problem is my problem!”
“At that time, I’ll tell your parents it was just a joke, and that your preference is for girls! How about that?”
“The hell it is! You have to dress up as my girlfriend!”
An Han shook his head fiercely. “No way! Not in this lifetime will I cross-dress again!”
Before Wu Dongming could say anything, An Han gave him a suspicious look, scanning him from head to toe. “Wait... don’t tell me you also like me in women’s clothes?”
“Get lost! I’m not a pervert!”
“Everyone, spread the word! Wu Dongming says Brother Long is a pervert!” An Han shouted back toward the dorm room, but no one responded. Then he turned back and lowered his voice. “Seriously though, why do you need me to cross-dress? Aren’t you afraid I’ll mess it up and get caught?”
Wu Dongming slung his arm around An Han’s shoulders, grinning as he leaned in close.
“Brother~ if I say I have a girlfriend, my parents will give me an extra two thousand every month~”
An Han stretched his neck back, trying to keep some distance between them.
“You’re even scamming your own parents now?”
“Scamming? No! I’m just reasonably improving my quality of life!”
“You’re such a good son,” An Han said sarcastically.
[Option 1: Refuse Wu Dongming’s request and tell him to get lost.
Reward: One-time Lucky Coupon]
[Option 2: Accept his request and pretend to be his girlfriend to fool his parents.
Reward: Full CD Equipment Set]
[Option 3: Find him a girlfriend within one day.
Reward: Random Attribute Point]
Wait a second—
The system suddenly popped up again!
An Han glanced at the mission text and quickly understood the situation.
Compared to the last time when the reward was a whole apartment, this one wasn’t so ridiculous, so the task probably wouldn’t be that hard.
If he refused the request, the result was obvious. Wu Dongming might reveal his cross-dressing secret to everyone. So even though the first option looked easy, the consequences afterward would be a nightmare.
Accepting the second option meant he had to cross-dress again and help fool Wu Dongming’s parents.
That kind of thing went against his morals, and he didn’t want to do it. Besides, the reward didn’t even make sense.
CD equipment set?
What was that supposed to be? Compact discs?
Even laptops don’t come with disc drives anymore!
“How about this?” An Han asked carefully. “I’ll help you find a girlfriend.”
Wu Dongming immediately grew suspicious, stepping back and watching him closely.
“What are you planning?”
“I’m serious! I’ll find a girl to pretend for you. That’s way better than me cross-dressing again, right?”
“Are you stupid? There’s only one day left, how could you find one in time?”
So that’s why the third option had the smallest reward, it was actually the hardest.
An Han scratched his hair in frustration, making his already messy hairstyle look even more like a bird’s nest.
He hadn’t even solved his own problems yet, and now he had to deal with Wu Dongming’s too.
“Hey, you smell kind of nice,” Wu Dongming suddenly said, sniffing the air. “Like milk or something.”
“You smell too,” An Han shot back instantly. “Like trash.”
Without thinking further, he accepted the third task, rolled his eyes, and said, “Fine, I’ll find you a girlfriend. That’s final.”
“If you can’t find one, you’re going up yourself,” Wu Dongming said, clearly not believing him.
“Fine, I’ll do it myself,” An Han replied helplessly.
“An Han! There’s a bag that fell behind your desk! Is it yours?”
The voice of Wang Sheng came from inside the dorm room.
!!!
An Han’s heart almost stopped. Cold sweat instantly covered his skin, his hands were wet with it.
My cross-dressing clothes!
In the next second, he spun around and rushed into the dorm. The door slammed open with a loud bang, making everyone inside turn to stare at him in shock.
“What bag?”
He looked toward Wang Sheng, who was using his phone flashlight to shine into the narrow gap between the wall and the desk.
“I think there’s a bag in there. My charging cable fell in,” Wang Sheng said, then turned back and noticed the sweat on An Han’s forehead. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. That’s just my old shoe bag,” An Han said quickly.
“Why’d you put it that far in?”
“They’re old shoes, I don’t wear them anymore.”
An Han crouched down eagerly, cutting him off. “I’ll get it for you! You said your cable’s in there, right?”
He rolled up his pant legs and didn’t care how dirty the floor was. He lay flat on his stomach, butt sticking up, reaching his hand deep into the gap.
Thank god he reacted fast.
If Wang Sheng had gone down there first, he would’ve pulled out that bag and then pulled out that little dress from inside it…
