Chapter 280: Leaving
Leaning closely against Su Peng’s side, An Han’s face grew hot and red without her noticing. Even though she was only holding his arm, an action she learned from couples she saw on the street, the shyness still made her cheeks blush.
Looking at the photo on Su Peng’s phone, she asked with a bright smile, “Does this one look good?”
“Yeah. I’ll send it to you.”
“Don’t post it online. If our classmates find out…”
“Don’t worry.”
Su Peng smiled gently. But he still tugged awkwardly at his jacket, pulling the hem down.
He clearly wasn’t thinking anything dirty, but the moment An Han leaned against him, his body reacted on its own. She obviously wasn’t trying to tease him, but his body was really not behaving today.
“I need to go. If I don’t leave now, I’ll be late for the birthday.”
“Oh…”
Just a moment ago she looked shy and sweet, but now her face turned sad and she looked away.
Before she could stay sad for long, she suddenly let go of Su Peng’s arm. Her face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she panicked, not knowing where to put her hands.
Not far away, a man wearing sports shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, probably out for a morning run, was staring at them with wide eyes.
It was her high school classmate, the clingy junior who followed her everywhere, with chest muscles almost as big as hers.
Shi Yi, the guy who sat next to her during their high school gatherings.
Wait!! Why was Shi Yi here?!
During the last class reunion, she wore a men’s coat as a disguise. She only showed her delicate face, so Shi Yi didn’t know she was a girl now!
At most, because she looked pretty, he might have subconsciously thought she looked like a girl.
But just now she was acting so close with Su Peng…
She could already imagine the rumors that would appear in the class group chat, ‘An Han likes a guy, he’s gay?’
Social death in her high school friend circle!
Her whole body stiffened instantly. Without thinking, An Han lowered her head and hid her face behind Su Peng.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Peng lowered his head in surprise. He thought maybe she was too sad to part with him and wanted to hide and wipe her tears.
But her actions didn’t look like that. He turned and scanned the street and finally spotted Shi Yi.
“Who’s that?”
“A high school classmate…” An Han lowered her head even more and whispered, “He thinks I’m a boy.”
And today, because she was going out to meet Su Peng, she wore cute, pretty girl clothes. A fitted pair of jeans and a white furry jacket. Her upper body looked puffy, but her lower body showed her curves clearly…
“Get in the car.”
Su Peng opened the back door, and An Han immediately dove inside.
Then she took out her phone and checked the high school group chat. Luckily, there was no picture of her and Su Peng hugging.
Of course, Shi Yi was jogging in shorts. There was nowhere for him to keep a phone anyway.
Still frightened, she peeked through the window and saw Shi Yi continuing his run along the sidewalk.
“That’s your high school classmate? He’s in pretty good shape.” Su Peng got into the car too and asked with a grin, “What, are you really that scared someone will find out?”
“We were good friends… He doesn’t know I’m a girl.”
Seeing Shi Yi leave, An Han finally let out a breath. The embarrassment on her face slowly faded.
But she remembered something. Last time during the reunion, Shi Yi’s affection level toward her shot up fast. Today she was even wearing cute girl clothes, yet she didn’t see any affection level notification.
So he really was a pure, hardcore “older-sister-type” lover!
He even liked them strongly enough to ignore the person’s gender!
“Right.”
She quickly unzipped her jacket and pulled out a folded medical report from the inside pocket.
“You’ve always been curious about why I used to have a male identity, right? If you read this, you’ll understand.”
“What is this?”
She handed the medical report to Su Peng, then nervously opened the car door just a tiny bit.
She had to be prepared to escape quickly, just in case the system prop’s side effects went beyond simply providing a powerful boost to his “crit rate and power”.
And because Su Peng was leaving soon, she finally dared to use a system item on him.
“I understand.”
Su Peng kept a calm expression as he returned the system item to An Han. Then he took a bag from the front passenger seat.
“Inside is the tea I bought for Uncle, and some health products for Auntie.” He smiled and added, “And a workbook set for your little sister.”
“……”
An Han froze for a moment, almost laughing out loud. Her eyes curved like little moons as she looked at Su Peng, and she complained in a playful, unhappy tone.
“What about mine?”
“How could I forget you?”
“Don’t tell me it’s some strange flashy thing again…”
Su Peng mumbled as he took out a small cream-colored shoulder bag from the bag.
“Here. I saw other girls all have something like this.”
It was true. Most girls carried a small shoulder bag when going out. When An Han was still living as a boy, she never understood why. Usually you only needed keys and a phone, why need a bag?
But now she happily took the bag, checking it from top to bottom, liking it more the longer she looked.
Girl’s pants usually had shallow pockets, and phones often stuck halfway out. Luckily it was winter now, and most coats had pockets.
And girls did have more small things to carry, pads during their period, a small mirror, and makeup to fix their look when they went out…
“How much did this cost?”
“As long as you like it, why ask the price?”
“It’s not several thousand, right?”
Su Peng scratched his head, not daring to look into her eyes.
“I’m not familiar with shops around here. I bought it from a street shop. Around a hundred yuan.”
“That’s good. Cheap and nice-looking.”
An Han instantly liked the bag even more.
“I should go.” Su Peng checked the time and sighed softly. “Remember to give the gifts to Uncle and Auntie for me.”
“I know.”
A wave of sadness rose in her chest. She lowered her eyes and hung the shoulder bag over her shoulder.
She stepped out of the car and walked to the driver’s window, still smiling as she asked, “Does it look good on me?”
“Yeah. It suits you well. My taste is pretty good.”
“These ten days, don’t go flirting with any other girl.”
“Don’t worry. I’m leaving now, okay?”
Su Peng reached out through the car window, and An Han bent down naturally, thinking he was going to pat her head.
But instead, he gently squeezed her soft cheek.
“Hey!” An Han jumped back without thinking.
Her skin was too soft and sensitive, and even a small pinch made her frown.
“I’ll let you pinch me back when school starts.”
Like running away, Su Peng quickly started the car and drove off.
Watching the small car slowly disappear into the morning fog, An Han rubbed her cheek helplessly.
If she hadn’t suddenly seen Shi Yi and panicked earlier, she would’ve been the one doing this kind of silly prank.
“We haven’t even been together that long… how did you become as naughty as me already?”
Before, Su Peng had been so honest. At most, he joked with her a little, but now he is starting to like teasing her.
