Chapter 257: Fallen!
“Didn’t I tell you two to come back tonight…?”
The moment Su Guangyu walked into the room, Su Peng’s sleepiness disappeared. He asked nervously, “You didn’t scare An Han, right?”
“How could I? Your mom is cooking for her right now.”
Su Guangyu sat at the end of the bed and teased his son. “No wonder you never want blind dates. So you already have such a pretty girl who likes you. Her personality is good too, and she even looks more mature than you.”
“……”
Su Peng curled his lips. Of course he knew whether An Han was mature.
She only pretended to be mature, she only looked that way.
“You two talked to her?” He sat up and grabbed his jacket. “What did you say?”
“We just asked about her family.”
“How did it go?” Su Peng froze a little, suddenly nervous.
Even though his parents always told him, “Just find an ordinary girl, she doesn’t have to be super pretty, and the family background doesn’t matter.” But when he looked at the blind dates they arranged for him, the worst one still had a family that ran a company, and every girl was good-looking.
Su Guangyu paused, then said, “Pretty good.”
“Really…” Su Peng muttered.
“But you’re going abroad next year. What about her?”
He froze for a second, then answered stubbornly, “What does me going abroad have to do with her?”
Without saying more, Su Peng walked out of the room, stretching and yawning as he headed downstairs.
Last night he watched a movie and ate late-night snacks with An Han. They went to sleep very late, and he woke up early today, so he had no energy at all.
He originally wanted to spend today enjoying their “two-person world,” but his parents came back out of curiosity, and now the atmosphere at home was going to be awkward.
Even though An Han was lively and outgoing, she always got super scared when facing elders.
When he reached the first floor, Su Peng immediately saw An Han drinking porridge in the dining room.
He jogged over and asked, “How is it?”
“What do you mean ‘how’?”
An Han took tiny sips of porridge. Normally, she would lift the bowl and gulp it down.
“My parents…” he said.
Her face instantly fell. “They checked my household info. After we finish eating, let’s go out and play somewhere. I can’t stay in your house anymore.”
As expected…
Su Peng sighed helplessly. “Where do you want to go?”
“The internet café!”
Normally, she didn’t even feel like playing games when the computer was right there. But because she didn’t touch a computer all day yesterday, she suddenly wanted to play today.
“Sure.”
If it were any other boy and girl, who would choose an internet café…
But with An Han, things were simple, no need for romantic decorations, no complicated date planning. When they didn’t know where to go, an internet café was always the best option.
Muttering in his heart, Su Peng went to get himself a bowl of porridge.
Neither of them wanted his parents to join them, so both ate as fast as possible. In just three to five minutes, they put down their bowls and quickly slipped out of the house before anyone noticed.
Once they left the neighborhood, An Han finally relaxed. After pretending to be mature and not even daring to smile too boldly, she stretched and became lively again:
“Where’s the nearest internet café? Let’s duo queue and rank up!”
“How long do you want to play?”
“Until one in the afternoon. Then I’ll go straight to take the bus home.”
She excitedly grabbed Su Peng’s arm. “Hurry, hurry! It’s been so long since we played duo!”
“Didn’t we play games together almost every day?”
“Playing online with voice chat is not the same as sitting next to each other.”
There was a Wangyu Internet Café nearby. The price was a bit high, but since Su Peng paid, An Han didn’t care.
Using someone this rich just to get small benefits felt like a waste.
They found a two-person private room. An Han sat by the window, quickly turned on the computer, and then looked around with curiosity.
Compared to the internet cafés she had been to before, this one was much more high-end.
There wasn’t even a smell of smoke!
The private room was truly a private room, not just a computer with simple dividers and no privacy.
The room was also very big. After putting in two computers and sofa chairs, there was still a small sofa in the back and enough space for several people to walk around freely.
The only problem was that the computer chairs were double sofas. After Su Peng sat down, An Han would, on purpose or not, lightly touch his shoulder through their clothes from time to time.
“My parents don’t have any special ideas. They just want to meet you,” Su Peng explained as he handed a cup of milk tea to her. “They’re probably just curious. After all, I’ve never brought a female classmate home before.”
“Oh~ I don’t mind,” she said.
Holding the warm milk tea, An Han happily rocked her upper body, and her legs under the table also swung back and forth.
Since the private room was closed off from the cold wind, and the hot milk tea warmed her stomach, she, who usually felt cold easily, started to feel hot. She took off her coat and all the warm layers, put them on the sofa armrest, paused for two seconds, and immediately noticed Su Peng’s gaze.
This guy… such a pervy.
She sighed in her heart, but didn’t really mind.
After becoming a girl, and one with a large chest, she felt she should learn to tolerate men’s gazes.
She couldn’t go around poking men’s eyes out, right…
Their duo-queue game started.
An Han quickly focused on the game and, since the room was private, she didn’t worry about disturbing others. From time to time she yelled, “Help help help! Come down and save me!”
“There are three guys camping mid lane. Su Peng, you should be really fed, right?”
“I died again…”
Seeing the grayscale death screen, An Han collapsed back into the chair, leaning against it, then turned her head to look at Su Peng.
She had to admit, Su Peng’s skin looked really nice too. Not pale, but with a healthy tan.
His neck was long, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly as he swallowed, which strangely drew her eyes.
She touched her own neck and could vaguely feel a small Adam’s apple under the skin, but from the outside, it couldn’t be seen at all.
“Why aren’t you moving?”
“I’m alive again!” She immediately sat up straight to keep playing, but one minute later, she lay back down weakly.
Su Peng’s presence was just too distracting.
Su Peng wasn’t playing very well today either. Everyone bullied him, but his character was fast so he didn’t die as often as she did.
When her character died, An Han had nothing to do, so she simply kept staring at Su Peng’s face.
After a moment, she suddenly asked, “Did you get fatter?”
“Who doesn’t get fat during New Year?” Su Peng shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I didn’t get fat!”
An Han proudly patted her stomach. “Flat! Your little belly must be back already!”
“I just wasn’t tightening my core. And I wasn’t sitting straight.” Su Peng straightened his back and took his hands off the keyboard. Then he turned to look at her already-red face. “Do you like guys a bit chubby or with muscles?”
“Me? What I like?” An Han dodged his eyes. In her mind, an image of Su Peng without clothes suddenly appeared, making her face burn even hotter. “Either is fine…”
When she was still male, she often saw Su Peng just after a shower, wearing only boxer shorts.
Back then, she only admired his physique. But now, her brain would naturally start thinking strange things.
She had fallen… into temptation!
