Chapter 131: The System’s Combo Attack
Today’s outing was a bit rushed.
An Han was still wearing slippers, a pair of knee-length shorts, and a black T-shirt layered with a long white shirt. The outfit looked rather mismatched, the contrast between the long sleeves and short pants was too strong.
From time to time, she looked down at her shorts, thought for a moment, then rolled up the long sleeves and fixed them at her elbows.
Walking side by side with Su Peng, An Han could feel a pleasant happiness rising from within. It made her steps light, and a cheerful smile appeared between her brows.
“Oh right, I’ll go buy a bottle of Coke. Wait for me here.”
Her eyes landed on a small shop not far from the dormitory building.
“Then I’ll go buy the tickets. How about the show that starts in half an hour?”
“Okay.”
An Han jogged into the shop, took two bottles of Coke from the fridge, and was about to pay when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why the heck did I agree to watch a movie with Su Peng?!
Holding the Coke against her chest with one arm, she stared blankly at Su Peng in the distance.
What was I thinking just now?
Because he helped me with that problem, and since I was already out of the dorm, I just decided to “reward” him by watching a movie together?
Am I out of my mind?!
“Miss, six yuan,” the shopkeeper said.
An Han looked up at him, twitching her lips. “Boss, you don’t recognize me?”
She had been at this school for two years and did most of her shopping here. Before she got the system, she often chatted with this very shopkeeper.
The man raised his head, studying her face carefully. Then, as if recalling something, he asked uncertainly, “Xiao Han?”
Thank goodness, even after turning into a girl, she hadn’t changed so much that acquaintances couldn’t recognize her.
She nodded slightly, then put one of the Cokes, originally meant for Su Peng, back into the fridge.
“So you’re a girl, huh? No wonder you always dressed like a boy,” the shopkeeper said teasingly. “That guy outside, is he your boyfriend?”
“No, he’s not my… not my boyfriend.”
An Han wanted to correct his misunderstanding about her gender, but then realized—right, she was a girl now.
Feeling awkward, she forced a smile, paid for the drink, and practically ran out of the shop.
When she reached Su Peng, she started thinking about how to politely turn down his movie invitation that she had foolishly accepted earlier.
“The tickets are already bought,” Su Peng said, looking up from his phone. “I picked seats in the middle.”
“Next to each other?”
“Yeah.”
That’s bad… really bad!
An Han leaned closer to peek at his phone. There were barely any people booked for that showing, and the seats Su Peng chose were surrounded by empty ones on all sides.
A dark theater, no one around to interrupt them… Isn’t this basically walking into the wolf’s den?!
Just a moment ago, she was thinking about how to decline politely. Now she was ready to just say it directly. At worst, she’d just pay him back for the ticket.
Then, the system’s voice popped up:
[Option 1] Use Mind Reading to reject watching the movie while giving Su Peng a satisfying reason.
Reward: Advanced Dream Entry skill.
[Option 2] Say “No! Get lost!” and refuse outright.
Reward: English Level 6 skill.
[Option 3] Go watch the movie with Su Peng.
Reward: Random attribute point.
An Han’s eyes lit up. Judging from the system’s usual task pattern, from hard to easy, it seemed that even directly refusing Su Peng wouldn’t be too difficult a challenge this time.
Her English level had just reached CET-4, which was already enough to graduate, but if she could pass CET-6, it would definitely make finding a job much easier in the future...
As she stood there lost in thought, she suddenly felt her hand being held and gently pulled forward.
Confused, she followed the direction of the hand holding hers and saw Su Peng’s gentle smile.
An Han stared blankly at that smile, her breathing unconsciously growing heavier. She should have pulled her hand away right away, but her heart was beating wildly. Her face grew hot, burning red, and that redness quickly spread to her ears and neck...
“The car’s almost here. We need to hurry,” Su Peng explained as he pulled her along into a light jog.
He carefully observed her expression. Seeing no clear signs of resistance, he relaxed. It seemed like being a bit more assertive with An Han worked better. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take before they even held hands for the first time.
An Han’s brain was a complete mess, her rationality temporarily shutting down. By the time she came back to her senses, she realized she was already sitting in a rideshare car.
Damn it! A beauty trap!
I actually fell for it!
I have to find a way to lower Su Peng’s affection points!
Before, when his affection was in the nineties, she could quickly sense whenever he acted strange. But now, every time, she realized it too late!
[Su Peng’s affection +1]
Wait—so one hundred isn’t the limit?!
[Countdown ended. Option 3 selected.]
Hold on, I actually accepted the mission to go watch a movie with him?!
Su Peng, you’ve ruined me!
An Han’s emotions rose and fell like a roller coaster. Her face, which had been bright red, gradually returned to normal. She decided she should go against the system’s will. There was no way she was watching that movie.
She just needed to hold out for half an hour. Once the movie started, her plan would succeed.
[Mission complete. Reward: Body Attribute]
Complete your head! I only sat in the car going to the theater! I haven’t even entered the cinema yet!
An Han’s face went pale. The system’s combo attacks left her dizzy and disoriented.
Almost immediately, she felt a faint pain in her chest area, along with a slight discomfort from her clothes rubbing against her… new curves.
“An Han,” Su Peng leaned closer, whispering like a devil, “I think you should wear a bra.”
She looked down and saw the obvious bulge on her chest. Even with her jacket on, the two protruding points were clearly visible.
Taking a deep breath, she didn’t even look up before slapping him hard.
You pervert!
“This! Is! Fat!” An Han ground her teeth, emphasizing every word. “It’s just fat! I’ll start dieting tomorrow!”
She had to maintain her male image in Su Peng’s eyes. Otherwise, a forced kiss would be the least of her worries!
Su Peng held his head after the slap but didn’t get angry. He simply straightened his seat and looked out the window.
Strange... my wife’s development seems really late. This is the first time I’ve noticed her chest size change, probably only this month?
Even after a month, her bust size is barely like that of a middle school girl, maybe even smaller.
Maybe that’s why she always sees herself as a guy? Could it be that her period only started recently too?
He couldn’t help but ask, “Haven’t you gone to the hospital to check?”
An Han thought he was talking about her chest and replied with a red, expressionless face, “I’ll go when I have time.”
“Yeah, you really should,” he said seriously.
After all, normal girls start developing in their early teens, but An Han seemed to be nearly ten years late.
