Chapter 233: Blind Date
At noon, An Han followed behind her father with a lifeless expression, walking through the small town streets.
Their home was in the town’s commercial center, so everything, including blind dates, was very convenient. Since the place for the blind date was only a ten-minute walk away, she didn’t bother rejecting her father again.
But once she stepped outside, the nonstop flood of “favorability notifications” almost pushed her emotions to the limit.
[Passerby A’s favorability +10]
[Passerby B’s favorability +10]
[Passerby C…]
[Passerby AA…]
Any man who came within several meters of her would basically be attracted by her charm, turn their head to look at her, and then she would see the favorability jump up again.
It was terrifying…
An Han felt that if she took a few more laps around town, this small town would become her personal harem.
Luckily, everyone started with low favorability, so even adding ten didn’t matter too much.
“An Han, when you’re on the blind date, say good things. Be more emotionally smart.”
“I’m not trying to make you get married so early. I just want you to meet more girls. If you happen to like one, that’s even better.”
Her father kept nagging, but her attention was fully on the flashing system messages.
[Passerby C’s favorability +10]
Why are you circling back again!?
She turned around and saw the same man who had passed her earlier. She frowned and glared at him.
“We’re here.”
She stumbled forward and bumped straight into her father’s back.
Her father turned around, looked her up and down, and sighed heavily.
“Why are you so short? You’re going on a blind date. Couldn’t you wear height-increasing shoes?”
“……”
Rubbing her forehead, An Han complained in her heart.
Isn’t that because YOUR genes have a problem!?
Seeing her pitiful and slightly wronged expression, her father didn’t say more. He pointed toward a girl inside the restaurant.
“That’s her. Her name is Lin Yue. Go ahead. I won’t follow.”
[Father’s favorability +4]
So now his favorability has officially passed 80!
Following his finger, An Han saw the girl. Long black hair, small and cute, wearing tight jeans, a beautiful sight.
Instantly, her eyes drifted downward.
Not bad, but my legs look better.
“Don’t be nervous,” her father patted her shoulder.
“Mm.”
An Han guessed the “ideal wife” reward from the system’s earlier mission was probably this girl.
Her looks fit perfectly into her old preferences: cute, pure face, long legs like an idol, soft personality that looked easy to tease…
If she were still a guy, seeing such a pretty girl on a blind date would have made her too excited to sleep.
Making her cry would probably be really fun…
With her lips pressed together, slightly nervous, An Han walked toward the girl while asking in her mind.
System, what’s Lin Yue’s favorability?
[Lin Yue: Favorability 35]
Not bad~
And she’s only seen my old photo.
Looks like I used to match her type too?
When she approached the table, Lin Yue lifted her head. The moment she saw An Han, she showed a sweet smile. She stood up gracefully, reached out her hand, and spoke in a clear, gentle voice.
“Hello, you’re An Han, right? I’m Lin Yue.”
A very well-mannered girl.
An Han forced a polite smile and shook her hand awkwardly. This is way too formal…
“You… look a bit different from the photo.”
They sat across from each other. Lin Yue studied An Han’s face, feeling something wasn’t quite the same as she expected.
“Really? But you look just as pretty as in your photos.”
Just a tiny bit less pretty than me.
[Lin Yue’s favorability +10]
Her words made Lin Yue very happy. She smiled and said, “Let’s order first.”
Outside the restaurant, her father saw that the two of them seemed to be getting along well. Feeling relieved, he walked away toward the end of the street to meet some old friends.
An Han clearly felt her father’s gaze leave her, and her nervousness instantly faded.
Her previously straight, proper sitting posture collapsed. She leaned her elbow on the table, rested her cheek on her palm, and completely relaxed.
“What do you want to eat?” Lin Yue asked, still acting like a gentle, obedient girl.
“I’m fine with anything…”
“Did you put on makeup?” Lin Yue suddenly leaned closer and noticed her makeup.
“Huh?”
An Han scratched her cheek lightly and admitted helplessly, “Yeah…”
“You know how to do makeup? I can’t do it at all~”
[Lin Yue’s favorability +10]
She started to feel nervous.
Does this chest binder work on girls too?
Isn’t a boy wearing makeup supposed to lower favorability?
Why did yours go up again!?
If this kept going, this girl might really fall for her!
Panicking a little, An Han quickly picked a few dishes, pushed the menu away, and stood up.
“I’m going to the restroom for a moment.”
There’s no way she was getting into a yuri romance with a girl~
“Okay!”
She needed to go to the bathroom to take off the chest binder. Otherwise, every waiter who walked by would gain favorability. At this rate, the entire restaurant would fall for her by the time the meal ended.
But she couldn’t remove her makeup. If she revealed her real gender in front of Lin Yue, her father would find out too. Ruining one blind date wasn’t worth using her last resort.
Lin Yue clearly liked this blind date. Her eyes always curved like a smiling crescent moon. Watching An Han leave, she muttered softly.
“What a cute boy~”
Then she saw An Han stop in front of the restroom doors, seeming unsure, looking left and right.
And in the end, she watched with her own eyes as An Han walked into the women’s restroom…
Her crescent-moon eyes instantly widened into full moons. She stared at the women’s restroom, completely shocked.
“W–What? Did he go into the wrong one?”
By the time the first dish arrived, An Han had already removed her makeup, taken off the binder, and returned to the table.
She saw Lin Yue still sitting in a daze, her brain clearly still confused.
“Lin Yue?”
Her soft reminder brought a small wave of mischievous pleasure to her heart.
Her chest was no longer something she could control. Even though her coat was thick, you could still see a bit of shape.
Luckily, Lin Yue didn’t seem to notice. She only asked in surprise:
“Why did you go into the women’s restroom!?”
“I… went through the wrong door.”
Feeling guilty, An Han quickly picked up some food as if to cover her lie.
[Lin Yue’s favorability –3]
As expected, she thought I was a pervert…
She secretly let out a breath of relief. Favorability dropping was great, if she could use a “bad impression” to make Lin Yue lose interest, she could avoid hurting Lin Yue later when the truth came out. That was the safest option.
The atmosphere at the table became a little awkward. Lin Yue pursed her lips, watching An Han eat elegantly. The image of the sunny, gentle boy from the photos was slowly collapsing.
Why is he so soft and girly!? He’s… kind of cute though!?
He looks way more like someone who should be a close bestie instead of a boyfriend!
“By the way, you’re not into girls, right?”
To make sure everything was safe, An Han suddenly asked.
Lin Yue stiffly shook her head.
“Good.”
