Chapter 33: Nighttime
Su Peng was lying sideways on the bed, one arm tightly wrapped around An Han’s waist. Half of his body was pressing down on him, keeping him pinned against the head of the bed so he could barely move.
An Han didn’t rush to get up. He wanted to wait until Su Peng was fully asleep and relaxed before trying again.
He still needed ten more points of affection to complete the mission.
He had thought that drinking together would raise Su Peng’s affection, and taking care of him afterward would add even more. If they could even do something else later that night, the mission could be finished by today.
That “something else” referred to sharing spicy memes or pictures. A common thing among guys in a dorm.
“Su Peng… you’re not planning something bad toward me, right?”
An Han suddenly realized something and looked down at the arm wrapped tightly around his waist.
Although he did have plans regarding Su Peng, they were purely to increase affection points. But if Su Peng had plans for him, that might mean something more dangerous, like having dirty thoughts about his body.
That probably wasn’t the case.
Otherwise, Su Peng wouldn’t have hesitated so long before moving into his dorm temporarily. He would’ve come running immediately and tried to get him drunk on purpose.
Clearly, Su Peng didn’t have bad intentions.
“After being tricked so many times, I just assume everyone’s trying to fool me,” An Han muttered and turned his head to look at Su Peng’s face.
He had to admit, Su Peng was quite handsome, just a bit less than himself. Su Peng’s fashion sense was also much better than most students. His outfits were well-matched, while An Han usually just wore black, or black and white. Su Peng’s overall look gave off a more refined vibe.
But even someone with good style still looked like a total mess after getting drunk.
An Han carefully tugged at Su Peng’s arm around his waist. It was heavy, but thankfully not locked tight.
After struggling to push his arm away, An Han finally sat up and patted his flushed cheeks.
“He got drunk and just fell asleep. Couldn’t even bother to take a shower,” he grumbled as he crouched down to help take off Su Peng’s shoes and socks.
It was Chen Junjie’s bed, after all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered helping.
Then he lifted Su Peng’s legs and moved him into a more proper sleeping position before standing up, muttering under his breath, “You’re as heavy as a pig!”
“Good thing it’s me. Anyone else wouldn’t even care.”
“If you’re gonna throw up, use the trash bin, not the bed, got it?”
He placed the trash bin beside the bed, feeling quite proud of himself for being so considerate, and walked happily toward the wardrobe.
Su Peng could sleep in his alcohol-soaked clothes, but An Han couldn’t stand it.
He took out his usual oversized shirt he wore as pajamas, along with a pair of shorts, and hurried to the bathroom to shower, planning to also check on his “development progress” while he was at it.
Inside the bathroom, he took off all his clothes, then suddenly turned his head toward the dorm.
“Su Peng’s not gonna suddenly wake up and barge in, right?”
Before, if someone walked in while he was showering, he wouldn’t have cared much, maybe just curse at them a bit. But now? Not so much.
Who knows what Su Peng might do if he saw his body…
He quickly reached out and locked the door, then looked down at his flat chest.
“Yeah, probably not…”
Although his waist was indeed slim, it was only because he was skinny, not the kind of healthy slimness with abs or a defined waistline. Even a woman’s slender waist usually had those features to look fit and beautiful.
His hips were a bit wider and rounder than before, but still couldn’t compare to a woman’s attractive figure, and his flat chest was completely hopeless.
“Still a body like a girl who just started growing up.”
After checking so often, it was no surprise there weren’t any big changes, unless his “body attribute” went up again.
He stopped overthinking and obediently started washing himself with body wash, but the soft and smooth feeling of his skin under his fingertips always made him a little uncomfortable.
If only this were my girlfriend’s skin.
And if my girlfriend’s figure was like this... no, forget it. Too flat.
An Han liked women with curves. His own body, like that of an undeveloped girl, didn’t interest him at all, except maybe for anime characters.
That’s why he always claimed online that he was a “loli lover,” but in real life, whenever he saw an actual little girl, all he felt was a headache thinking, ugh, another noisy kid.
“An Han! An Han!”
Just as he was rinsing off, Su Peng’s voice suddenly shouted from outside.
He sighed deeply, sounding like he had lost all hope. “Why are you awake?”
“Come here for a second!”
“Wait!”
An Han quickly wiped himself off, threw on his clothes, and hurried back into the room.
“What happened?”
“I threw up all over the place.” Su Peng was weakly leaning against the headboard, pointing at the mess on the floor. His flushed face looked embarrassed. “I didn’t react in time… some even got on the mattress.”
“I even put a trash bin next to you! You couldn’t aim better?”
An Han didn’t even have time to dry his hair and ran back to the balcony.
“How long was I asleep?” Su Peng pushed himself up, picking up some tissues to clean the mattress.
Moments later, An Han returned with a mop, moving lightly as if with a gentle breeze. “About ten minutes? I was still showering, I didn’t even finish drying off before running out.”
He bent down to mop the floor. His wet hair stuck to his forehead, drops of water clinging to his cheeks. His body hadn’t been dried, so the loose shirt he was wearing stuck closely to his skin, outlining his figure.
Su Peng’s gaze was naturally drawn to him, the oversized white shirt had turned half transparent when wet, faintly revealing the pale skin underneath.
[Su Peng’s affection +5]
Only five points left!
Being hardworking and kind really worked for raising affection!
Seeing the system message, An Han became even more motivated. His smile toward Su Peng grew warmer. “Don’t bother cleaning the mattress. You can sleep on my bed for now, I’ll handle this.”
“Is that okay?”
“What’s not okay? I’m staying up all night anyway.” After drinking, An Han didn’t feel sleepy at all, he was full of energy.
“But still…”
“I was the one who asked you to come stay with me. You made the mess, but it’s my responsibility anyway. Plus, it was my idea to drink.”
The alcohol had loosened his self-control. His cheerful mood showed clearly, even while mopping, his movements swayed lightly, as if he were dancing to happy music.
Su Peng still hesitated a little, but An Han had already grabbed his arm. “Come on, get up! I need to clean the mattress.”
“Alright.”
“If the smell stays, Chen Junjie’s definitely gonna argue with me again.”
“Why do you get along so badly with him?”
“I don’t even want to argue! He’s the one who started it.” An Han complained, “Back when the semester started, I arrived first and took the upper bunk. But he didn’t dare argue with Long Xing, so he forced me to switch, just because I’m short and skinny and look easy to bully!”
Su Peng hadn’t heard this story before. “Then what happened?”
“I fought him! If my body had been a bit stronger back then, I’d have sent him straight to the hospital!”
That’s why An Han cared so much about his physique. When the system rewarded him with a “body attribute” boost, he was overjoyed, thinking he could finally stop being weak.
But instead of becoming stronger, he had only become… more delicate.
