Chapter 116: Male, Female, or Futanari?
An Han lowered his head and looked at the brick not far away, then raised his eyes to look at Su Peng, who still looked confused but had a worried expression.
He was so angry that he actually laughed.
You’re dead, Su Peng!
Even though he was mad, he still had some reason left. He didn’t actually pick up that brick. Instead, he stomped toward Su Peng, kicked his leg, then punched him in the chest, shouting angrily.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you crazy? Damn it! You jerk!”
“What’s wrong with you?” Su Peng stumbled back several steps after being hit.
He didn’t understand what was going on, only that An Han suddenly lost control of his emotions.
It didn’t really hurt, An Han hadn’t used much strength. He was just venting his frustration.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Peng suddenly reached out and pulled An Han into his arms, trying to comfort him.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here.”
The moment before, An Han had been furious and restless, but now he suddenly went quiet.
The warmth and strength of Su Peng’s embrace surrounded him, giving him a strange sense of safety that he hadn’t felt in a long time. The deep, husky voice in his ear almost felt like it had magic, calming his anger.
An Han trembled slightly and raised his head. His eyes were red, and tears glistened at the corners.
It’s not okay! You don’t understand anything!
He cursed in his heart, but the fire of anger had already been put out by Su Peng’s actions.
Su Peng didn’t know anything, he was just a pervert who liked beautiful people regardless of gender…
An Han pushed his arms away and sat down on a nearby bench. He lowered his head, elbows resting on his knees, letting his hair fall forward to hide his face.
“I just need to calm down. Sorry. Please go for now. I want to think alone.”
Su Peng didn’t say anything else. He turned and left the small garden.
Once his emotions finally settled, An Han opened the system message that had appeared earlier.
[Congratulations, affection level reached target. Condition achieved.]
Main Quest: Please choose carefully, your choice will affect your gender.
Option 1: Lower Su Peng and Long Xing’s affection below 80.
Reward: Return to male, remove side effects of the item.
Option 2: Go on a date with Su Peng and kiss him.
Reward: Become a real woman.
Option 3: Do nothing.
Reward: Become a futanari.
The calm expression on An Han’s face instantly vanished again. He covered his face with one hand, speechless.
He had suspected something like this might happen, but he never thought the system would actually be able to change his gender… and even offer him the chance to turn back.
Am I supposed to thank you for your kindness, for letting me stay a man?
Then his eyes moved down again.
[No need to choose manually. The result will depend on your actions. Quest timer: 8 hours.]
So this time there was even a time limit.
And it seemed like three options in one mission, but he could probably only complete one of them.
If he wanted to become a futanari, then he just had to do nothing. Don’t lower affection, don’t kiss Su Peng, don’t do anything at all, and after eight hours, he’d automatically become one…
So… is a futanari both genders, or just like I am right now?
An Han glanced down at his chest, then looked at the second mission.
The word “kiss” wouldn’t feel strange in any normal love story between a man and a woman, but putting it between him and Su Peng made his face burn instantly. His mind turned into a complete mess, and then a wild thought popped up.
What if I kiss Su Peng first… and then lower both his and Long Xing’s affection below 80?
There was no answer. Or rather, that kind of thing probably wasn’t even possible.
“It's all Su Peng’s fault!”
Only eight hours left...
Clearly doing nothing is the easiest choice, but becoming a futanari... I can’t accept that, right? I’d rather be a normal girl!
“Is Su Peng out of his mind? I just needed to tell him two simple sentences, that I’m not joining the competitions! Why did he suddenly like me a little more?!”
An Han tore at his hair in panic. After a long time, he hung his head, not sure what to do next. His hair, uncut for months, now hung straight down and could cover his eyes. He had planned to get a haircut off campus, but now it looked like he probably wouldn’t need to.
Unless he could finish Task One. That’s too hard! Lower both their affection levels below 80 and in eight hours! If he could do that, he would have done it already. He had tried many times, but each time their favorability only climbed higher and higher!
Why won't this damn system just let me beat them up and be done with it!
The announcement system switched to soft music. An Han looked up and suddenly realized the morning part of the sports festival was over. He dragged his tired body toward the dorm. Just leaving the garden, he saw Su Peng not far away, still watching him and not moving away.
Gotta admit, Su Peng is pretty handsome... Kissing him to finish the task would be like a freebie, right?
The thought flashed through his head. An Han raised his hand to wave, but his arm froze. These weird thoughts keep popping up! Last time it was because Su Peng’s scent affected him, but this time he only glanced from a distance.
Favorability isn’t just one-way from Su Peng to me! Or maybe Su Peng liking me makes me like him more too?
An Han didn’t dare look at Su Peng anymore. His three roommates were just leaving the field together, so he hurried to meet them. Right now, he found Long Xing easy to look at. At least Long Xing didn’t make him want to like men.
“Brother Long, want to eat in the cafeteria?” he asked, hiding his feelings with a small smile and crescent-shaped eyes like usual.
“I already ordered takeout,” Long Xing mumbled and glanced at An Han, then paused and asked, “You feeling down?”
“No, not at all~” An Han smiled and quickened his pace to walk in front of Long Xing so Long Xing couldn’t see his face.
When he rested in the dorm later, he needed to think hard about which choice to make and how to finish the task. He felt very tired and at times wanted to give up, but becoming a futanari still felt strange no matter how he thought about it...
“Xiao Han, you have a match this afternoon, right?”
“I’ll see how things go.”
When Su Peng’s favorability was at 99, An Han planned to quit the match. But now it was already at 100, so whether he joined or not wouldn’t change that much. The only real difference was whether he would follow the reverse-task plan. Or should he stop worrying about the matches and focus on choosing his gender...
“Brother Long,” he turned back and asked, “Do you think it’s better to be a man or a girl?”
“Huh?” Long Xing didn’t expect such a weird question.
Chen Junjie nearby jumped in. “Definitely a woman! Think about it, for marriage, men pay the bride price, buy the house and car, right? That’s at least a million. Women don’t have that pressure.”
“My family’s bride price starts at over three hundred thousand. Damn, I don’t think I’ll ever get married now! Prices are crazy!”
Chen Junjie’s rude words made An Han frown.
“You watch too much online,” he said, holding back the urge to kick him and turning his head away. “Reality isn’t that extreme.”
