Chapter 248: Mature Sister
Wu Hao and An Han basically grew up playing together.
They were two years apart in age and went to the same school from elementary school all the way to high school.
If they weren’t relatives, with An Han’s current gender, the two of them could totally be called childhood sweethearts.
Even though they hadn’t met much in the past two years because An Han went to study at a university far away, Wu Hao still knew her very well…
He might not know literally everything about her, but when he saw her suddenly giving him that sweet and harmless smile, his alert level instantly went to maximum.
Something was definitely wrong!
Wu Hao almost instinctively moved his butt and put some distance between them. And now she even wanted him to follow her plan… Whether it would even work was one question, but it would almost surely lead to social death.
“No thanks, I’ll handle my own problems.”
After recalling all the crazy things An Han had done in the past, he shook his head and rejected her almost automatically.
“……”
Seeing Wu Hao acting like he had seen a ghost, all cautious and tense, An Han lost interest and leaned back on the sofa, clicking her tongue.
If they weren’t close, she wouldn’t bother with this kind of thing at all. Did she really look that unreliable?
To An Han, exchanging a so-called “boyfriend falling from the sky” for Wu Hao and their older cousin’s happy ending sounded like a great deal.
As for a boyfriend falling from the sky, he would probably show up with full favorability toward her right away, like Su Peng.
Annoying maybe, but still manageable.
Too bad she couldn’t make Wu Hao put on a chest binder and flirt with their uncle… Or force him to wear women’s clothes for a better effect…
The mission timer was about to end. An Han sighed.
The plan she imagined wouldn’t become real, and it felt like someone was scratching her heart, making her uncomfortable.
She wondered what kind of stat she would get this time.
“You really don’t want my help?”
Based on how the system ranked difficulty, Wu Hao probably had almost no chance to keep dating their cousin.
Wu Hao shook his head wildly.
The room became quiet. With one hand supporting her cheek, An Han leaned sideways against the sofa arm. She pressed her lips together helplessly and selected Option Three.
[Mission complete. Reward: Mature Woman Attribute]
Because their earlier talk already made it clear she couldn’t interfere in this matter, the moment she picked a choice, the mission ended immediately.
“???”
What the heck is a ‘Mature Woman attribute’?! She had never seen this before! System, you have a problem!
An Han instantly checked her whole body. She opened her tightly wrapped coat and looked down at her chest.
No change.
Even though the mature-sister type she imagined usually meant big chest and long legs, it seemed the system didn’t think that way.
She stretched out her legs, checked her skin, took a selfie, stood up to look at her butt… Still nothing unusual.
Wu Hao, sitting on the side, glanced at her curiously.
He had no idea what she was doing, checking her skin seriously, taking selfies… Maybe all women were a bit self-obsessed?
He didn’t think too much about it at first. But the more he looked, the more he felt like An Han suddenly seemed a bit more mature. Her cute face now had a touch of intelligence and calmness added to it.
“I must be seeing things…”
From their earlier talk, he knew she was still the same mischievous brat. There was no way she suddenly became mature and elegant in one moment.
“What are you mumbling about?” An Han glanced at him.
Her glance, even the small movements of her eyes, seemed to show the charm and allure of a mature woman…
[Wu Hao’s favorability toward you -2]
Now Wu Hao really felt like he had seen a ghost. He instinctively moved even farther away from An Han, his eyelids twitching, wondering if she was possessed by something.
Or maybe, after not seeing her for a few years, An Han had already “evolved” to the point where she could freely control her own style and aura?
His sudden movement caught An Han’s attention.
“What’s wrong?” An Han touched her cheek, already guessing something. “There’s nothing weird on my face, right?”
“Well… no…”
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
She got up from the sofa and walked into the bathroom, standing in front of the half-length mirror.
Just one look, and she confirmed her guess.
As expected, the Mature-Woman Attribute didn’t change her body, it changed her aura.
Especially since she was wearing a trench coat today. Her long legs made her look extra tall, and it helped bring out that sudden sense of maturity and intelligence.
Her face still looked a little young, yet the aura didn’t feel strange at all.
This was… amazing!
Feeling delighted inside, An Han hesitated a moment, then took off her trench coat and draped it over her arm.
The mature aura instantly faded a lot. Her lively and playful energy came back again.
Switching between these two completely opposite styles felt very natural.
When wearing the trench coat, she became a mature, elegant woman. When she took it off, she turned back into a cheerful college girl.
“So dressing a certain way changes my aura… If I get a ‘loli’ attribute someday, will wearing childish clothes make me look like a cute little girl?”
But how could a loli have such a big chest?
“If I get another mature attribute, does that mean even without mature clothes, I’ll still give off that kind of aura?”
Talking to herself, An Han enjoyed admiring her mature-woman state in the bathroom mirror.
Just like how a bad student might envy a top student, as someone with a lively, chaotic personality, she had always admired mature, elegant women. Something she thought she could never become.
“Su Peng seems to like more mature girls, doesn’t he?”
Muttering this, An Han pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.
But the moment she stepped out, she noticed her front door was wide open, and Wu Hao was nowhere in the living room.
He had run away so fast he didn’t even close the door.
“He didn’t even say goodbye.”
An Han closed the door, went back to the sofa, and sat down. At that moment, her phone on the table lit up.
She leaned forward to look at the message, and her eyes slowly filled with confusion.
“I told my family that I’d go visit you in two days to surprise you, but suddenly my dog got sick.”
“We’ve raised it for over ten years, and now we’re bringing it everywhere for treatment. Looks like we can only meet when school starts again. shrugs”
An Han stared blankly, a ridiculous idea appearing in her mind.
The “boyfriend falling from the sky” from Mission One…
Could it have actually been Su Peng?
Because she chose Mission Three, Su Peng’s dog ended up in the hospital, stopping his plan to come early?
She had guessed before that Su Peng might try to surprise her, but she didn’t expect he really had planned to.
“This… I don’t even know if I won or lost…”
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming.
If her guess was correct… There were only about ten days left before winter break ended.
If the system considered “meeting Su Peng ten days earlier” as the reward for Mission One…
Then the system was truly shameless.
But the saddest part was Su Peng’s dog, completely innocent and suffering for nothing.
