Chapter 249: Class Reunion
Her parents and little sister were not at home.
Now that she had become a girl, if she went out to play with her old middle-school or high-school friends, she would probably scare them, and it would require a long and troublesome explanation.
Her new friend Lin Yue had also gone to visit family for the New Year, so she wasn’t free these days.
An Han rested her chin on one hand in front of the computer, looking at the messages on the screen.
So boring~
When her parents were home, she always complained that they cared too much about everything, and she looked forward to being alone so she could feel more free.
But when she thought about it carefully, ever since she started college, she had already been very free… too free, to the point where she didn’t want to do anything at all.
Her phone vibrated.
“We’ll come back on the afternoon of the third day of the New Year.”
It was a message from her dad.
This was the message An Han had been waiting for. She immediately stood up, turned toward the wardrobe, and started packing her things. She wanted to give Su Peng a “girlfriend dropping from the sky” surprise.
It was the first day of the New Year today. If she left now, she’d have more than a whole day of free time.
But she had barely finished packing when another message appeared on her phone.
It was an @everyone tag in a group chat.
“Everyone came back for New Year, right? Let’s have a reunion?”
An Han looked at it, hesitated a little, then opened the class group.
It was her senior-year (grade 12) class group. Because they had worked hard together, helped each other, and gone through the college entrance exam together, she had always felt a strong sense of belonging to this class.
In her eyes, there wasn’t a single “bad” person in the whole class. If she had to name one, it would probably be herself.
Thinking about how she used to tease her classmates and fool around in class, a bit of nostalgia and joy appeared in her eyes.
“Didn’t An Han organize the reunion last year? Where is he? Haven’t seen him in the group for a long time.”
“Maybe he’s completely gone by now?”
“When are we meeting?”
“I didn’t go home for New Year. Remember to take some photos and videos for the group.”
Looking at those familiar yet distant names, An Han rested her chin in her hand again, unable to stop smiling. Feels just like the old days~
“Tonight at six?”
This message was from the homeroom teacher, and it immediately got a huge wave of agreement.
“Boss is right!”
“+10086”
“Earlier is better, so no one can run away later.”
“Who has everyone’s phone numbers? Call everyone you can reach this afternoon.”
“Wasn’t this kind of thing always done by An Han before?”
Someone @-mentioned her, and a moment later, she even got a phone call.
An Han never expected that she had been so noticeable in high school. Probably because she pranked most of the boys at least once, and because she organized the last two reunions.
After a bit of hesitation, she still picked up the call.
“Hey! An Han! You coming to the reunion tonight?” The guy’s deep voice sounded urgent. “You haven’t said a word in the group for two months! I thought you were dead!”
An Han adjusted her voice. “I was busy and didn’t have time to check the group. I probably can’t join tonight’s reunion. I have to leave home right now.”
“What’s more important than a reunion? It’s the first day of the New Year, where are you going?”
She wanted to go out and give Su Peng a surprise…
Even if she went today or tomorrow, it didn’t really matter, even if she left right now, she would still arrive at night.
But she definitely couldn’t go to the reunion wearing a chest wrap and makeup…
When facing her dad, the chest wrap’s charming effect was weaker, and makeup also lost its “emotional” effect.
But at a reunion… the environment was too complicated, and she wouldn’t be able to control the side effects of those two items at all.
An Han walked into the bathroom, thinking while looking at the girl in the mirror. If she only looked like a girl and could hide her body shape, it wouldn’t be a big problem. At most, her classmates would tease her a little.
If she went to the reunion and left right after, she could still arrive before midnight, check into a hotel, rest well, and show up in front of Su Peng the next day to give him a big shock.
Just imagining Su Peng’s expression, from confused, to stunned, to extremely surprised, made the prankster inside her start to burn again.
“Hey? Can you hear me? Six in the evening! The Boss is coming too! You’re not planning to ignore even the Boss, right?”
The “Boss” was their homeroom teacher from high school. Because he was famous for protecting his students, everyone called him Boss.
Back then, a classmate had a conflict with some street punks and got blocked at the school gate after class. The homeroom teacher grabbed an iron bar and led the dorm boys in a big group to scare them off…
It felt like something straight out of a street-gang movie, and the whole class talked excitedly about it for a long time.
“Okay, okay…” An Han finally agreed helplessly, but still complained, “You could’ve at least delayed it a few days. Why make a class reunion so rushed?”
It was like a few friends suddenly deciding to go out for late-night snacks.
“Most people stay home on the first day of the New Year, okay? They’re either visiting relatives or staying inside. Might as well come out for a reunion.”
“Stop talking nonsense. See you at five!”
She let out a long sigh, hung up the phone, and wiped her face with a towel, looking like she had lost all will to live. Her skin had become so delicate that even a rough towel felt a bit painful.
“Good thing it’s winter. If this were summer… I can’t even imagine.”
In summer, there would be no way to hide her figure. If she went to the reunion like that, her classmates would definitely treat her like some kind of weirdo.
“Could it be that Su Peng also got a mission, the reward was a ‘girlfriend who falls from the sky,’ but he didn’t choose it either?”
Her imagination ran wild as she talked to herself, then she walked out of the bathroom to look for the men’s clothes hidden deep in her wardrobe. She planned to match an outfit that could hide her figure as much as possible.
“So that’s why something suddenly popped up to block me?”
It was only 2 p.m., and she had four hours to prepare. An Han felt like this reunion probably wouldn’t have many people.
Back when she was in charge of organizing reunions, she spent half a month preparing and calling everyone one by one. Only about thirty people showed up, others were either out of town or found excuses not to come.
And those thirty people… most of them were hit in the head by the little booklets she and her partners had hung above the restaurant’s private room door.
They even recorded it on video. The videos were still saved in the class group’s file section for everyone to “enjoy.”
Thinking of that, An Han frowned slightly. A cold feeling crept up her back, and her skin trembled. She felt as if some mysterious, unseen malice was floating toward her, making goosebumps spread along her arms.
Something was wrong!
This reunion was definitely dangerous!
Someone must be waiting to see her embarrassed!
Someone must want revenge for those two big pranks!
Everyone would love to see that, and no one would warn her ahead of time.
Too bad her little sister wasn’t home, she could’ve brought her along as a shield.
“Now that I look this cute, they probably won’t have the heart to go too far, right?”
She muttered to herself as she pulled on a padded jacket. She looked down, she could still see a bit of her chest shape.
She took out her old wool coat, a long black one. When she put it on, it covered her body from top to bottom, hiding all her curves.
“Perfect!”
