Chapter 147: P.E. Class
Luckily, the system didn’t have any kind of punishment for failing a mission. If it really erased people whenever they failed, that was something An Han could never accept.
But!
An Han couldn’t help but suspect that the system was trying to push her into borrowing money from Su Peng, forcing him to get involved in her plan to rent a place and live outside the dorm.
To be honest, among all her friends, the only one who could lend her several hundred or even a thousand yuan was Su Peng, unless she asked her family. But her family would never agree to her wasting money on living outside.
“An Han, time to go downstairs.”
Wang Sheng, who was sitting on his bed, had already changed into sneakers and shorts. His face didn’t show any sadness about not being able to join the competition.
“Oh~” An Han replied softly, feeling a little guilty toward him.
She had confidently promised before that she would help Wang Sheng at least play in an internet cafe tournament, but after delaying for half a month, nothing came out of it. And worst of all, the game console was gone too.
She sighed softly. She subconsciously wanted to change into shorts, but as soon as she stood up, she sat back down and obediently put on her shoes.
Next was P.E. class. Normally, she liked wearing shorts and a T-shirt for easy movement, but since her body stats had increased again, there was no way she would wear a short-sleeved shirt without an undershirt and let everyone feast their eyes.
Still wrapped up tightly, An Han was the last to leave the dorm room. She closed the door behind her and stood aside, waiting for Long Xing to lock it.
Some noise came from the dorm next door. When she turned her head, she saw Su Peng already in the hallway, and almost immediately, he came right up beside her.
“I heard we have a substitute teacher today.”
An Han ignored him, keeping a blank face as she followed Long Xing and Chen Junjie.
Su Peng didn’t seem awkward at all, there was always a faint smile on his lips. As he matched her pace, he casually asked, “Do you still need sanitary pads?”
“It’s already over.”
“Then why do you still look so unhappy?”
Because I saw you!
The more the system tried to make her give in, the more rebellious she felt. Even if she didn’t have money to rent a room, she would never borrow from Su Peng.
Even if his affection level had passed 100 and made her subconsciously attracted to him, she would still keep a straight face…
But wow, Su Peng really smelled nice~
She sniffed lightly. The cold expression she was pretending to keep suddenly showed a bit of confusion as she asked, “Did you spray perfume?”
“Does it smell good?”
“Disgusting!”
Su Peng froze for a second, then nodded. “Then I won’t use it next time.”
He had just wanted to test whether that so-called “perfume that attracts girls” would work on An Han. Clearly, it didn’t.
Well, it made sense, An Han’s way of thinking was more like a guy’s anyway.
Both dorm groups, eight people in total, arrived at the school’s big field and joined the rest of their class.
There were still a few minutes before class started. Some students stood or sat in pairs on the grass, chatting casually. Not far away, another class was also getting ready for P.E.
Looking around, An Han noticed Wang Yu in the distance. It seemed this semester, their P.E. class was indeed combined with his class.
She hadn’t realized it before. She used to react like she’d seen a ghost whenever she saw Wang Yu.
A tall, thin P.E. teacher walked over to Wang Yu’s class. After a moment, that teacher brought Wang Yu and his group to stand in front of An Han’s class.
“Your teacher’s on leave today, so I’ll be your substitute.”
An Han had already heard about this from Su Peng earlier, so she didn’t react much and lined up with the others for roll call.
“I don’t want to do P.E.…” she muttered softly.
Since there weren’t any strict rules about how to stand in line, everyone just stood next to their close friends.
Chen Junjie, standing on her left, heard her quiet complaint and said sarcastically as usual, “Just tell the teacher you’re on your period and can’t do P.E. He’ll definitely believe you.”
An Han quietly looked up at him. Last night, this guy actually apologized, saying he would never bother her again!
Damn it! She was almost touched by it! She even seriously thought about staying in the dorm because of that!
An Han tugged on Wang Sheng’s sleeve on her right, switching places to get away from Chen Junjie.
But to her right… was Su Peng.
No escape…
She had already moved closer to her roommate on purpose.
“An Han!”
“Here!” An Han quickly raised her hand and stood on tiptoe, poking her small head out from the crowd.
The P.E. teacher didn’t know who she was. He glanced up, checked her name off the list, and muttered under his breath, “Could barely see her, a girl standing in the middle of a bunch of guys.”
“Teacher, An Han is a boy,” the class monitor, An Kexin, reminded him.
“……”
After roll call, the P.E. teacher led the students to jog for warm-up. A messy group followed behind him at an easy pace.
Su Peng, who used to be one of the fastest during warm-up runs, now obediently jogged beside An Han. Judging by his relaxed look, two laps clearly didn’t tire him at all.
But after just one lap, An Han was already breathing heavily.
“Your stamina got worse,” Su Peng said.
“I just keep forgetting to go for my night runs lately,” An Han replied casually.
It was partly true, she had been lazy, but the real reason was probably because her body had completely turned into a female’s.
Her shoes didn’t fit quite right either, making her heels slip and rub painfully against the back. Her calves were starting to ache, her heels hurt even more, and sweat dripped down her face, soaking the edges of her shirt.
After two laps, An Han was half-squatting with her hands on her knees, panting hard. At this rate, her limit was probably four or five laps. She could go slower to last longer, but then she’d probably end up with blisters.
“Free activity! Those who want to use sports equipment, come with me!”
The students who wanted to play ball happily followed the teacher, while An Han plopped down on the grass, gritting her teeth as she took off her shoes and socks to check her feet.
No blisters, but her heels were red.
“What’s wrong?” Su Peng squatted beside her and asked.
“The shoes don’t fit well.”
An Han rubbed her sore heel, but then suddenly felt someone’s gaze from afar.
She looked up and followed the direction of the gaze, and saw Wang Yu standing at a distance, watching her.
“Wang Yu seems to be looking for me?”
“Wang Yu?” Su Peng paused, then remembered how An Han had praised Wang Yu during the sports festival. His heart tensed, and he quickly asked, “Want to go buy milk tea?”
“You go. I’m going to talk to Wang Yu.”
“He’s looking for you, so you have to go to him?”
An Han froze, Su Peng’s tone was full of jealousy.
A playful smile curved on her lips. She lifted her head and said to Su Peng,
“He’s been busy for half a month helping me organize that competition and find sponsors, okay? He’s way better than you.”
“……”
“Too bad the competition was too niche, and none of the sponsors were interested. It didn’t happen in the end, but I still like him a lot.”
“……”
Hurts, doesn’t it? Unless he was into being humiliated, any guy would feel upset, right?
An Han’s smile grew even sweeter. She wanted to keep teasing Su Peng on purpose.
Anything that might make his affection level go down.
She had to try every possible way.
