Chapter 125: The Shameless Su Peng
For some reason, Xiao Han seemed more like a girl now.
It was the third day of the sports festival. Long Xing sat under the basketball hoop, watching An Han, who was standing alone not far away.
Today, An Han was wearing a pair of loose casual pants. The pockets looked stuffed with something. Her head was lowered as she played with her phone, and her hair, now long enough to be considered too long for a guy, covered half her face, leaving only the smooth curve of her chin visible.
Every time Long Xing looked at her, his heart started beating faster, his palms got sweaty, and images of the times he’d seen An Han in women’s clothes flashed through his mind.
But he was still sane enough to remind himself that she was a man and his roommate, no less.
Even a rabbit doesn’t eat grass right next to its burrow!
He forced himself to look away, but suddenly Chen Junjie asked, “Brother Long, do you think something’s wrong with An Han these past two days?”
“What could be wrong?”
“His temper’s been crazy bad, and he’s talking a lot less than usual.”
Long Xing looked at An Han again, and just then, she also looked up. Their eyes met. He panicked and quickly turned his head to the side, pretending to look at something else.
This Long Xing…
An Han frowned slightly. Even though Long Xing’s affection for her had dropped below eighty, it still felt risky. After all, his feelings had started from love at first sight. Even if his affection dropped to single digits, one more “love at first sight” might send it shooting back up to ninety again.
Thinking about that made her realize, this wasn’t just risky, it was downright dangerous!
She absolutely couldn’t show any feminine side of herself in front of Long Xing. If possible, she didn’t even want to appear in front of him at all.
With that thought, she lifted her hand and flipped Chen Junjie off.
“Hey! What the hell!” Chen Junjie shouted, jumping up and flipping her off in return.
An Han rolled her eyes at him, got up, and walked toward the sports field.
Something felt off…
The extra layer of sanitary pad inside her underwear didn’t fit properly. It felt like a wad of tissue stuffed in there, an uncomfortable foreign feeling she’d never experienced before. And since men’s boxers didn’t hold the pad in place, she was constantly worried about it leaking.
If she weren’t living in a dorm, she would’ve definitely considered buying women’s underwear. It’s not something people see every day anyway, only a problem when drying laundry.
It was already the last day of the sports festival, and there were fewer students on the field than before. When she came downstairs earlier, she’d even seen some students dragging suitcases, already heading home for the weekend.
Standing by the track, she crossed her arms and watched the 100-meter final. After a few minutes, she suddenly noticed Su Peng standing quietly beside her.
The memory of being forcibly kissed yesterday flooded her mind, making her cheeks flush red. She immediately took a small step away, quietly trying to leave.
“Why do you look at me like I’m a wild cat or something?” Su Peng said awkwardly, smiling bitterly.
He was embarrassed too. His impulsive kiss and failed confession made it hard for him to face her.
As soon as he spoke, An Han took a big step forward to escape.
“I was wrong, okay? Don’t go.”
“I got too carried away yesterday. How about I treat you to dinner to make up for it?”
“I’ll buy you a new iPhone, how about that?”
“Come on, don’t be like this… We’re still friends, aren’t we?”
An Han lowered her head and walked faster, fuming inside.
You say you’re sorry, pretending to care like some loyal friend, but really you just wanted my body. Once you didn’t get it, you ran off chasing another girl.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist. She didn’t even turn around, she just yanked hard a few times to break free. But the grip was like an iron clamp. No matter how hard she pulled, it didn’t budge.
Finally, An Han turned her head, her lashes trembling. With a pitiful expression, she squeezed out one weak word from between her lips.
“…It hurts.”
Su Peng quickly let go of her hand. An Han straightened up and ran away at once.
She was getting better and better at acting pitiful. It looked a bit fake, but it really worked well.
Unfortunately, even though her physical ability hadn’t dropped much after turning into a girl, Su Peng was a monster who ranked right after the sports students in the 3000-meter race.
Even though she made the first move and ran off early, Su Peng easily caught up with her within seconds.
Seeing that she couldn’t escape, An Han slowly stopped running. She glared at him angrily and shouted, “What’s wrong with you?!”
“I just wanted to ask you something.”
“Say it!” she said, hands on her hips and breathing hard.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Peng asked, “You… why did you buy sanitary pads?”
“……”
An Kexin!
Can you please stop telling people everything?!
Damn it! We’re not friends anymore!
An Han’s face darkened, then quickly turned red. She puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and said firmly,
“They’re for my girlfriend!”
Su Peng looked at her like she was an idiot.
If An Han really had a girlfriend, she’d definitely show off everywhere. If not to the whole class, then at least to everyone close to her.
Great… now how do I explain this?
I can’t just tell him I’m actually a girl. If I do that, with his affection level over 100, he’ll definitely come right at me without hesitation!
Just remembering how forceful Su Peng had been yesterday… That would be a total disaster!
But other than saying she bought the pads for a girlfriend, what other reason could possibly make sense?
An Han stomped her foot anxiously, trying hard to think of something, but in the end, she just decided to push Su Peng aside and keep walking silently.
Whatever. Even if he thinks I’m a pervert, that’s fine. As long as he doesn’t find out I’m actually a girl…
Su Peng followed close behind her like a shadow, not asking any more questions.
But An Han’s heartbeat kept speeding up.
She deliberately walked toward the more crowded areas. She didn’t want Su Peng to kiss her again. Although… that feeling wasn’t exactly bad…
“Can you stop following me?”
“What’s wrong with watching the competition together?”
“You’re annoying!”
An Han glared at him, but he just smiled softly, refusing to leave. She had no choice but to go to the track and watch the 400-meter race.
It’s all fake! He looks gentle, but he’s ridiculously strong and scary when he gets serious. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
I have to find a way to lower his affection too! Otherwise, with it being over 100, who knows what kind of accident might happen next.
Last time he kissed me by force… next time, who knows what he’ll do…
“An Han, you look prettier when you smile,” Su Peng said.
“Shut up!”
“Don’t always frown like that.”
“None of your business!”
Su Peng shamelessly stood beside her, completely unfazed by her coldness.
“You seem… more like a woman today.”
“……” An Han’s heart tightened instantly.
No way! He figured it out just from a few minutes of talking? Or did he connect the dots because of the sanitary pad thing?!
“In your attitude,” Su Peng added.
That’s because she was on her period…
