Chapter 259: Confession
Even though An Han had kissed Su Peng on the cheek first, as a man, Su Peng still felt like she was teasing him.
She touched him and pulled away instantly. Before he could even really feel it, she had already moved away and put on a cold, calm attitude. That made him hesitate to fight back.
The fried noodles they ordered had arrived. He held the food box and ate while feeling a bit unwilling.
Annoyed, he pulled his jacket lower and placed the takeout bag on his lap to cover the “impolite” reaction he couldn’t control.
Thankfully it was winter, and both his clothes and pants were thick. An Han didn’t notice anything.
“Hey, Su Peng.”
While eating lunch, An Han suddenly looked up and asked, “How many years are you planning to study abroad?”
“Two or three years.”
“You’ll go during senior year?”
“Mm.”
She nodded lightly, not really thinking too much about it. “Then will you come back once a year, or…?”
“I’ll come back during long holidays every year. Plane tickets aren’t that expensive anyway. It’s just troublesome to travel back and forth.”
Not that expensive…
If they weren’t expensive, her dad wouldn’t only come home once a year during Chinese New Year.
Every time her dad had to go abroad, he would carefully compare plane tickets one by one, trying to find discounts or super cheap flights. But every time, he still complained about how expensive they were.
“What about you these few years? What do you plan to do?” Su Peng asked, sounding a bit nervous.
He was afraid she might develop feelings for another guy while he was away.
He knew her skill at unintentionally charming people. Back then, even when she had no curves at all, she still made him nervous.
Now that she had a great figure and a pretty face, even if she didn't flirt, plenty of guys would definitely like her.
“Just internship and work… what else can I do?”
She would be a senior in September, and basically she could start preparing for internships next semester.
She wouldn’t say she learned nothing in college, but… she really didn’t know much about her major.
But soon, she noticed something strange about Su Peng.
She glanced at Su Peng’s slightly hunched posture, then at the takeout bag covering his lap, and gave a “yup, I knew it” smile.
Since she used to be a guy, she could tell immediately whenever Su Peng tried to hide something.
“An Han…”
“What is it?” Her eyes were full of mischief as she looked at him.
“I…”
He paused when he saw the expression in her eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, An Han was doing it on purpose!
She flirted with him on purpose, made him unable to hold back, and then acted like she didn’t want it!
Isn’t that basically playing hard-to-get?!
Once he understood this, Su Peng instantly became much braver. He smiled at her, set the food aside, grabbed his water bottle, took a sip, wiped his mouth, and removed the smell of food.
It was time to fight back!
He looked at her fiercely again and saw her raise her eyebrows at him in a mocking, challenging way.
No man could endure that!
“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t just call my name for nothing,” An Han complained.
“Be my girlfriend!”
The red color spread across An Han’s face almost instantly. Her cheeks were burning, and even her breath felt hot.
Even though she had purposely guided things in this direction, the embarrassment still rushed up all at once.
Or maybe because she guided it on purpose, it felt even more embarrassing.
“…Okay, I guess.”
An Han looked away, not daring to face him, but she could feel his burning gaze on her.
Her body trembled a little. She tried to calm herself and forced herself to speak with a tough tone:
“After all, no one else can put up with you. So I guess… I’ll do it unwillingly…”
Her shoulders trembled, and her words stopped midway.
That arm, like a giant snake, slid around her waist while she was panicking and slipped under her sweater. She felt the lines on his palm as it moved across her skin, and the more it touched her, the more her body trembled.
There shouldn’t be a camera in this private room… right?
Am I being too easy to get?
Will Su Peng stop cherishing me?
Just as a few thoughts flashed through her mind, An Han suddenly saw Su Peng’s face coming closer.
She instinctively tried to dodge, but his large hand held her waist firmly. She could only lean backward, her flexible waist bending until the sofa’s armrest stopped her from retreating.
Su Peng’s chest was almost against her body. His warm breath and strong presence rushed over her like a wave, destroying any resistance she had left in an instant.
“Mm—”
Her eyes widened. She clearly felt his warmth, and she clearly experienced the gentle intimacy.
His hand kept exploring around her waist like a spark that completely set her body on fire.
Her legs had already closed together tightly without her noticing, and her arms wrapped around his broad shoulders.
It… actually felt pretty nice…
It was only a second or two, but because she was sensitive, her body reacted immediately, and her eyes were already starting to tear up.
When they separated and Su Peng straightened up, An Han was still half-lying over the sofa armrest, her eyes unfocused, looking at the ceiling like her soul had left her body.
“What’s wrong?” Su Peng suddenly became nervous.
Did he misunderstand again and make her angry?
They just confirmed their relationship. If something goes wrong this time, they might really stop being friends.
“Ah~”
That soft, sweet sound she accidentally let out almost broke Su Peng’s control. If they were at someone’s house or a hotel, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold back anymore.
An Han slowly came back to her senses. She sat up with her head lowered and gently patted her burning cheeks.
She used to think kissing was just a symbolic gesture. But it actually felt… really good…
Shifting uncomfortably, she twisted her waist a little, frowning slightly. She pretended nothing had happened, though her face was bright red, and continued to eat the lunch she hadn’t finished.
“Does it taste good?” she asked.
Su Peng finally relaxed. She didn’t seem angry, she actually seemed to enjoy it.
“I eat from this place a lot at home. It tastes pretty good, so you’ll probably like it too.”
“Does it taste good?” An Han repeated.
“……”
Even Su Peng’s thick skin couldn’t handle that. His already fast heartbeat sped up again. He rubbed his nose awkwardly.
“It’s… sweet… and really nice…”
A succubus, that’s what she is! Making him lose his mind like this!
Since she lived in the boys’ dorm for so long, she definitely understood men well, and knew exactly how to tease him.
“I thought all you could taste was fried noodles,” An Han laughed.
“……”
“By the way…” She lowered her head and searched for nearby hotels. “I need to go to a hotel to rest for a bit.”
Su Peng froze. Wasn’t this… progressing too fast?
“You don’t need to come. I’ll just get a short-stay room.”
She secretly glanced at her pants. A certain area had already turned dark in color, very obvious.
So she copied Su Peng’s earlier move and placed her coat over her legs while putting it on to cover herself as much as possible.
Luckily it was a long coat. Any shorter jacket wouldn’t hide anything.
“I won’t feel safe if I don’t go with you.”
“Then wait for me downstairs at the hotel. I just need to take a shower.”
After putting on the coat and buttoning it up tightly, she wrapped herself completely, leaving only her head and calves visible.
Feeling shy, she slowly stood up.
“Let’s go.”
