Chapter 121: Unbelievable
When An Han was completely unprepared, a strong masculine breath suddenly filled his mouth. His eyes shut tighter on instinct, his mind went completely blank, and his reason seemed to shut down.
He grabbed Su Peng’s shoulders tightly, his head pressed helplessly against the wall behind him.
Wait—what’s happening?!
His whole body stiffened, and his brain turned into a complete mess.
Su Peng’s shoulders still have the oil from when I wiped my hands...
His clothes are dirty, and now he’s rubbing against me!
He’s so warm, it’s like he’s burning, and I’m about to catch fire too...
What the hell is this guy doing?!
He instinctively wanted to fight back, but his always-criticized weak body was no match for Su Peng’s strength. The difference between them was impossible to overcome.
“Don’t move.” Su Peng’s voice came out low and rough.
An Han opened his eyes without thinking. They were misty, his lashes wet with tears, as he looked up helplessly at the man who suddenly seemed like a stranger.
“You... you...”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Peng’s large hands quickly pinned his wrists, and that strong presence once again surrounded him completely.
His body grew weaker, a faint feeling of suffocation made his head spin, and his legs turned soft. He could only barely stand thanks to Su Peng holding him up.
After what felt like a long time, his face had turned completely red, almost glowing, and the man pressing on him finally moved back. The moment Su Peng stood up, An Han’s legs gave out, and he slowly slid down the wall until he sat on the ground.
He sat there blankly, looking up at Su Peng in disbelief. He couldn’t understand how this could have happened.
The usually gentle Su Peng, the one who always smiled and seemed so kind. Now looked forceful, almost like he was possessed by a demon, someone frightening and unfamiliar.
Did I push him too far before? But you could’ve just yelled at me or hit me! Did you really have to do that?!
“You... I...”
An Han’s chest was rising and falling fast. He wiped his lips hard with the back of his hand, trying to erase the breath that still lingered there.
“Be my girlfriend,” Su Peng said calmly, half-squatting as he reached out his hand.
“Are... are you crazy?”
“Come on, get up. We should head back.”
“I...”
“If you don’t get up, I might have to do it again.”
Su Peng leaned toward him. Terrified, An Han scrambled backward until his back hit the corner of the wall.
His eyes were filled with panic and fear, and finally, the tears he’d been holding back began to fall, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
Su Peng was startled by his reaction. He looked at An Han, curled up in the corner, shaking, eyes full of fear, and didn’t know what to do.
“I...”
But An Han had no intention of listening to any explanation. Panicking, he scrambled to his feet, his weak legs barely supporting him. Leaning against the wall for balance, he stumbled toward the end of the alley.
Too scary! Too scary!
His mind was a total mess. He staggered out of the alley and onto the busy street, where crowds of people were walking by.
He stopped in place, slowly straightened up, wiped away his tears, and turned around, only to see Su Peng following close behind, looking concerned.
Don’t pretend, damn it!
You’re acting all gentle now after being so forceful just a moment ago?!
Cursing silently in his heart, An Han lowered his eyes and asked bitterly as Su Peng caught up,
“How about... we just forget it?”
“What?”
“Let’s just pretend... nothing happened today.”
An Han’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. His arms were trembling, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he had been forcefully kissed.
Even if he failed to lower Su Peng’s affection below 80 and couldn’t complete the mission, at most he had only planned to give Su Peng a light kiss, just a quick touch, to finish the transformation task into a female…
But what just happened was far too intense, so intense that it was impossible for a virgin like him to accept.
That was my first kiss! And was that... a French kiss?!
Just thinking about how it felt made him shiver even more.
He sighed deeply in his heart and turned to leave, but suddenly his wrist was grabbed, like being caught by an iron clamp, and he was pulled backward.
He let out a small cry of pain as his body was dragged back in front of Su Peng.
“From now on, you’re my girlfriend!” Su Peng spoke firmly, “I like you!”
“......”
So this is what full 100 affection points look like?
The always gentle and soft Su Peng had turned so forceful under the influence of affection that An Han even suspected he had lost his mind for a moment. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so scary.
An Han turned his head away, refusing to look at him. “I’m a guy.”
At least... for now.
“I don’t mind!”
“But I mind!”
Even if he really became a woman later, his heart and mind were still male. He could never accept this!
He didn’t have any real affection for Su Peng!
All of this, his feelings and attraction, were just side effects of the system!
He would never admit that he liked Su Peng, and definitely not that he was attracted to him!
“I... I thought you wanted to be a girl,” Su Peng said in shock, letting go of An Han’s hand.
He had thought that An Han’s cross-dressing and teasing behavior came from truly seeing himself as a girl. If that were the case, then An Han shouldn’t have any rejection toward men, right?
“Let’s go back together?”
“Bah! Get lost! I’m going back myself!”
An Han stormed off toward the school, still feeling shaken.
[Mission completed. Reward: You will become female.]
Maybe because his emotions had been too intense, the system waited until he had calmed down a little before sending the gentle reminder.
“Even if I expected this to happen… I should’ve been the one pressing Su Peng down for the kiss...”
“Damn it, this is so embarrassing! Totally unmanly!”
He muttered angrily to himself, even though no one could hear him. His pride was as hard as diamond. But when he thought back to what happened, his voice grew smaller.
“Su Peng was way too skilled... maybe he’s some experienced player...”
“It even felt kind of... damn it! No! Definitely a total womanizer!”
He kept grumbling under his breath, but his body slowly regained strength. After leaving the busy shopping street, An Han stopped when he realized he didn’t recognize the road ahead.
Su Peng didn’t dare to push him anymore and followed from a distance.
After a moment, An Han turned around and waved slightly at him. Surprised and relieved, Su Peng quickly jogged over.
“How do we get back?” An Han asked quietly, not meeting his eyes, his tone awkward.
“Just follow me,” Su Peng replied softly, his gentle self returning.
The forceful side from before was completely gone, though his smile still carried some embarrassment.
It was pitiful, he had thought An Han’s teasing was on purpose, that things between them had naturally reached the next step. But after the kiss and the confession... he was rejected.
Now, they might not even be able to stay friends.
“Th-then... let’s go.”
