Chapter 78: The System’s Punishment
“Wang Yu! Wang Yu!”
“Wang Yu! Come out and explain this to me!”
Inside the dorm, Wang Yu calmly locked the door from the inside, sat back at his desk, and kept browsing the internet as if he heard nothing.
On the screen was an internet search: “Is it possible for a girl to live in a boys’ dorm?”
There were only a few serious answers. Scrolling down, there was a gender-bender novel, and even a smut story with a similar title.
“Wang Yu, it sounds like a girl is looking for you,” his roommate beside him peeked toward the door with curiosity. “Aren’t you going to open the door?”
An Han’s voice outside still sounded neutral, but his tone was full of sadness and pain, like a crying bird, almost like a wife catching her cheating husband.
Wang Yu shook his head without speaking and casually downloaded the smut story.
He found it a bit hard to face An Han now. After what happened last night, he realized there was something strange and attractive about An Han that almost made him lose control.
Luckily, he always focused on working out and never trained his legs or glutes. Otherwise, under that strange charm, he might have really turned into a “wolf.”
Also, An Han’s gender was becoming harder and harder to understand.
“Don’t hide in there! I know you’re inside!”
The door was knocked a few more times. Wang Yu glanced over, then calmly continued what he was doing.
“Wang Yu, that girl won’t be…” his roommate said with a strange look. “She came all the way here to find you. If you keep hiding, the whole class will know in a few days.”
“That’s a guy. You’ve seen him.”
“I’ve seen him?”
“He came to the dorm to look for me before.”
The roommate suddenly understood. “Oh, that girl who came looking for you that day?”
“He’s a guy!” Wang Yu repeated again. “Are you sure you don’t know the difference between a guy and a girl?”
Wang Yu sighed. If he let An Han keep shouting like this, it would be impossible to clear his name later.
But honestly, boy or girl? Who knew?
If he said “boy,” then why did An Han wear women’s underwear?
If he said “girl,” then how did An Han live in the boys’ dorm for years without anyone noticing?
According to Wang Sheng, An Han only started acting more feminine in the past month.
Maybe… even An Han himself didn’t know he was female before?
“Wang Yu!!”
After shouting for a long time with no reply, An Han became angry and kicked the wooden door. But just as he raised his foot, the door suddenly opened. His foot couldn’t stop in time and kicked Wang Yu’s pant leg.
He froze, seeing Wang Yu’s face turn dark. He quickly stepped back with an awkward smile. “I only wanted to kick the door.”
“What do you want?”
Just a moment ago, An Han had been yelling confidently like a poor victim. But now that he saw Wang Yu face to face, he instantly became nervous and lowered his head. “Um… did you and Wang Sheng say something?”
Even though he knew Wang Yu’s affection level toward him was already sixty-five, Wang Yu’s cold, stiff expression still made him worry that this guy might suddenly snap and beat him up.
After all, that was Wang Yu’s affection level toward him. His own affection toward Wang Yu… wasn’t very high.
“I told him about the competition…”
“Only that?” An Han suspected that Wang Yu must have told Wang Sheng something shocking.
Wang Yu paused and looked at An Han’s pretty face. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “I also told him I think you might be a girl.”
“……”
So that’s what happened.
An Han sighed helplessly. “I’ve lived in the boys’ dorm for two years, okay? How could you even start thinking about that?”
“That’s why I asked Wang Sheng,” Wang Yu replied.
What if all of An Han’s roommates already knew he was a girl and just agreed to hide it from others?
But the answer was: Wang Sheng had never suspected An Han was female. He only thought of him as a girl lately because of his recent changes.
“Stop spreading rumors about me!”
Leaning on the hallway railing with his arms crossed, An Han frowned unhappily. “This kind of rumor is really annoying, okay? Even the way Wang Sheng looks at me is strange now!”
Wang Yu was about to ask, “Then last night, you…”
But An Han turned away immediately. “My food delivery is almost here. I’m leaving!”
He hurried off, afraid that Wang Yu would bring up the chest binder.
Since he couldn’t explain it, he might as well avoid the topic. Let Wang Yu overthink however he wanted, just don’t go telling others those “reasonable-sounding guesses” and turn them into real rumors.
At the stairs, he suddenly poked his head around the corner and shouted, “Don’t forget the competition! Take it seriously!”
“I know.” Wang Yu waved coldly for him to go away.
When it came to Wang Sheng’s dream, An Han had already done everything he could.
His conscience was clear. How many people would work this hard for a friend’s dream?
The game console reward was just something extra for himself.
The moment he left Wang Yu, he instantly felt confident again. Even the way he walked back into the dorm was full of swagger.
“Wang Sheng, I warn you, don’t listen to Wang Yu’s nonsense!” As soon as he entered, he slapped Wang Sheng’s desk. “That guy is crazy! A socially awkward kid!”
Wang Sheng turned to look at him. A moment later, Wang Yu’s voice came from the speakers.
“What did you just say?”
“……”
An Han did NOT expect that in just a few minutes, Wang Yu had already teamed up with his own roommate online to play games.
He silently nudged Wang Sheng on the shoulder.
Wang Sheng understood immediately and said, “That wasn’t An Han talking just now. It was Long Xing. Long Xing was cursing you.”
If you can’t cover for me, then don’t “help” at all!
An Han didn’t say anything more. He quickly moved aside, pretending he had nothing to do with anything, and started playing on his phone.
He originally planned to open Bilibili to watch some videos, but then he looked up and stared at the mirror in front of him.
After freezing for a moment, he couldn’t help it, he opened a shopping app and began searching for clothes that suited him.
Ever since he got that “aesthetic trait,” he really couldn’t stand wearing all-black outfits anymore.
Even if he didn’t buy pretty women’s clothes, maybe he should buy some other colors or at least clothes that matched better?
While browsing, his finger still unconsciously tapped on women’s clothing.
This dress looks so nice~
These short shorts look good too. They must be super comfy in the dorm!
This top is so pretty~
This one…
If he wore any of these in the dorm, he’d probably end up in the proctology department the next day!
His face darkened, and he forced himself to look away from the women’s section.
Maybe during summer break…
No! I’m a man! Why would I wear women’s clothes!?
I’m never looking into the mirror again!
He turned toward the door to leave the dorm, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in shock.
[Option 1: Wear a bikini-style women’s outfit outside for one full day. Reward: National-level antique]
[Option 2: Wear a cheongsam outside for one full day. Reward: Painless period trait]
[Option 3: Wear women’s clothes outside for one full day. Reward: Random attribute point]
A mission can trigger from this too?
Thinking back to the strange “aesthetic trait” the system gave him for no reason, An Han’s face turned green.
The system was setting traps, one after another!
No problem! I already figured out a loophole in the system!
He casually attempted to choose the first task, one he definitely would NEVER complete. And even if he somehow did, getting a national-level antique as a reward wouldn’t be a loss.
[Once chosen, even if you don’t want to complete it, the system will force you to do so.]
“???”
