Chapter 77: The Next Day
An Han… could he actually be a girl?
When Wang Sheng woke up, lying on his bed and rubbing his eyes, this strange question suddenly popped into his mind.
If someone had told him this before the National Day holiday, he wouldn’t have believed a single word, not even a single word.
After all, in the past, An Han often walked around the dorm shirtless, wearing only underwear, totally unlike a shy girl, and definitely not someone worried about hiding their gender.
But now, An Han really had become much more conservative. He kept himself wrapped up tightly every day, and even his appearance, every few days, he seemed a little more pretty than before.
The main point was this, An Han’s chest seemed to be getting… bigger.
Wang Sheng glanced at An Han’s bed, and a few dirty thoughts flashed through his mind. After all, An Han didn’t come back all night, and Wang Yu suddenly said that An Han was a girl, and even agreed to hold the competition…
“An Han isn’t that kind of person.”
“What? You calling me?”
An Han’s small head popped down from the upper bunk and looked at Wang Sheng below. Wang Sheng didn’t expect him to be awake and quickly shook his head. “No.”
“Oh~”
That pretty little face disappeared again. The upper bunk shook a little, and then a pair of pale, soft-looking feet stepped on the ladder, swinging in front of Wang Sheng’s eyes.
No matter how he looked at it, this roommate looked more like a girl than a boy.
Wang Sheng stared at those small legs for a moment. Soon after, An Han slowly climbed down, looking sleepy, and grabbed the jacket hanging nearby.
Before he put it on, Wang Sheng’s eyes naturally fell to his chest.
There really was a chest. Not big, but when he jumped down, it even seemed to jiggle slightly.
Wang Sheng suddenly felt like a pervert.
“What time is it?”
“Three in the afternoon.”
“So hungry…” An Han muttered, turning toward another bed. “Where are Brother Long and Junjie?”
Wang Sheng sat up. “They got up at noon. I think they said they went to watch a movie.”
Those two always had a good relationship. They often went to tourist spots on weekends and watched movies together. Since both An Han and Wang Sheng weren’t interested in those things, they rarely joined.
“I see.”
After putting on his jacket, An Han stood in front of the mirror, frowning. He tilted his body slightly, checking his clothes.
The more he looked, the more he disliked it.
He turned to Wang Sheng. “Whether the November competition happens or not, you need to practice well. Don’t waste the teammates and competition I helped you get.”
“How did Wang Yu agree to it?” Wang Sheng finally asked what he had been curious about for a long time.
An Han put his hands on his hips and raised his chin proudly. “Because we’re close!”
“Close?”
If they were so close, then why did An Han always look annoyed whenever Long Xing mentioned Wang Yu before?
“Of course! We’re best bros!”
When An Han said this, he acted especially confident, afraid that someone would notice he was actually guilty inside.
If people knew he won Wang Yu over by using a chest binder to look attractive, his whole reputation would be ruined.
Not wanting to stay on this topic, he quickly grabbed his cup and toothbrush, turned around, and walked to the balcony.
“Why are you asking so much? Anyway, you just need to get a good result!”
“Top three?”
“That works!”
Actually, the result didn’t really matter to An Han. The main thing was the level of the competition.
But a net café competition was only a bit better than a dorm gaming session. Many net cafés only gave online credit cards worth a hundred yuan or so as prizes. In comparison, the competitions held by the e-sports club might even be better.
Last year, the club held a “King of Glory” tournament that was livestreamed on a platform with a host, and the champion team got more than a thousand yuan each plus a free skin set.
The only problem was whether Wang Yu could find a sponsor.
After washing his face, An Han also took a shower, and only then did he return to the dorm feeling clean and refreshed.
But he soon noticed that ever since he came back in the morning, Wang Sheng had been looking at him in a strange way.
It felt like Wang Sheng’s eyes kept stopping on him, full of disbelief, surprise, and a kind of “I finally understand everything” expression, as if previous doubts suddenly made sense.
What the hell did you “finally understand”?!
What exactly did Wang Yu tell him last night?!
“I’m going to the cafeteria to eat.”
Unable to stand Wang Sheng’s stare any longer, An Han walked out right after his shower.
He needed to find Wang Yu and ask what happened!
It was probably about the chest binder last night, but even if Wang Sheng knew about that, why would it make him look so enlightened?
He rushed upstairs, but suddenly bumped into Su Peng. He wanted to walk past directly, but Su Peng blocked his way.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to ask Kexin to cancel our event?”
An Han froze for a second. He had been busy with Wang Yu these past two days, and Su Peng purposely avoided him, so he completely forgot.
“You go cancel it. I still have things to do,” he said casually.
“Or… maybe we can try to make it work?” Su Peng asked carefully.
Make it work? Make what work?
An Han looked up at him, confused. Because he was always cautious toward people with affection levels above 80, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
And Su Peng’s affection was already above 90!
Did he mean… “make it work” regarding my gender?!
An Han was so shocked he stepped back several steps. His expression changed, and he instinctively crossed his arms over his chest in a defensive, uneasy posture.
That was something only girls usually did, but he couldn’t care about that right now.
Su Peng only felt that An Han looked cute like this and smiled.
“For the three-legged race next time, I’ll pay more attention during practice, okay?”
“How was I supposed to know your legs look long but are actually short…”
“You’re almost 1.8 meters tall!”
Even with perfect body proportions and visually long legs, someone under 1.7 meters couldn’t possibly compete with Su Peng in leg length!
An Han glared at him. “That’s what you meant?”
“Huh? What else would I mean?”
“The three-legged race… maybe let’s drop it. I’ll just sign up for the 100-meter run.”
An Han didn’t want too much physical contact with Su Peng.
To be proper, he should practice with Su Peng before the sports meet to avoid embarrassing himself.
But that kind of almost-body-to-body activity would easily change Su Peng’s feelings…
Actually, no! Those feelings had probably already changed.
“I saw you didn’t cancel it with Kexin, so I thought you still wanted to run.”
“No, I just forgot… Besides, running with Kexin should be the same, right?”
“She’s even shorter…”
An Kexin was around average height for a girl, maybe about 160 cm.
An Han stood on his tiptoes and knocked on Su Peng’s head like he was scolding a slow child.
“Don’t you get it?! This is your chance! Don’t you want a girlfriend?!”
Compared to An Kexin, he really might as well find a pretty boy…
Su Peng didn’t dare say what he was really thinking. He just looked away, feeling guilty.
After all, having a boy nearby who was prettier than most girls… made his standards for a girlfriend a lot higher.
