Chapter 346: Task Completed
An Han’s face was bright red. She lifted her foot a little while nervously holding one corner of the blanket. Her eyes were lowered, and she didn’t even dare to look at Su Peng’s pair of hot, intense eyes.
She silently prayed that Su Peng would not lose control because of this. She also comforted herself that this was only the simplest “Task Three,” so nothing strange should happen.
If she had openly shown the backless sweater dress to Su Peng, he would definitely think she was trying to tease him on purpose, and who knows what he would think after that.
Right now, Su Peng was very careful. His eyes moved over her body in a cautious way, as if he was afraid she would get too embarrassed and kick him out.
He crouched down and looked up. His gaze moved from her small, delicate bare foot, up past her fair calf, then over her smooth, well-shaped thigh, until his sight was blocked by the skirt that was only long enough to cover her hips.
Su Peng’s breathing grew heavy. An Han, who was especially sensitive, could clearly feel how his gaze felt almost like sparks lighting her skin on fire. Her whole body started to feel hot.
A faint blush slowly spread over her skin.
“It doesn’t look serious,” Su Peng said after quickly checking. Then he lowered his head and held her foot, seriously pressing around her injured ankle.
…but something felt strange.
From the moment he came home to the moment he knocked on her door, there were almost three whole minutes. That should be more than enough time for An Han to change into different clothes.
This sweater dress wasn’t complicated at all, she could take it off easily.
Was she… teasing him again on purpose?
Su Peng secretly glanced at her face, but he didn’t see any sign of pride or mischief. Instead, all he could see was pure shyness, which made his heart race even more.
His head felt a little dizzy, and his hands were slightly shaking.
“Since you saw it already… just treat it as compensation for helping me take the blame,” An Han reminded him softly. “Also, don’t ever bring this up again.”
“I know, I know,” Su Peng said, though he couldn’t help feeling like he was the one losing here.
At least he could enjoy the view…
Even though An Han sometimes teased him on purpose, it was rare to see her wear something this… attractive.
A cute girlfriend who can be this charming, amazing.
An Han couldn’t handle the embarrassment anymore. Her eyes turned away, looking at a corner of the bedroom, trying hard to ignore the heat on her skin.
She wanted to ask something to distract herself. “What kind of job are you thinking about looking for?”
“Programmer, maybe? It’s a job that pays well, and I’m pretty good at it.”
“Or maybe teaching kids martial arts? I’m not bad at that either.”
“Does it hurt? Should I be more gentle?” he asked.
An Han nodded slightly, face red. “It’s already much better…”
“You really don’t want to use your family’s money?” she asked.
“I’ll try not to. When I get married, I want to save up and buy a house on my own. If I don’t use their money, they won’t be able to control everything I do.”
Ah…
An Han originally thought that at least they wouldn’t need to worry about buying a house in the future.
But now they were back to this topic again.
“I know my parents. They like to control everything. They want to interfere in every little thing. And if I don’t listen, they get angry. They always say that because they raised me, I must listen to them.”
As Su Peng talked, he suddenly felt her foot pull back, so he let go.
When he looked up again, An Han had already pulled her legs in, and he could faintly see her white underclothes.
“…Come here.”
An Han could no longer stand the embarrassment. She wanted to finish the task as soon as possible.
Su Peng moved a little earlier, but then he saw An Han pat the bed beside her, telling him to sit down.
“You’re wearing so little. Aren’t you cold?” Su Peng said as he sat.
When he looked at her from the front, he only thought the dress was too short. But sitting at her side, he could clearly see her curves, her slim waist, and her smooth, bare back…
His breathing grew even heavier. Su Peng felt he was starting to lose control.
Almost without thinking, he placed his hand on the small of her waist.
The warmth of his palm made An Han tremble uncomfortably.
She suddenly felt nervous…
Even though the situation was exciting, her heart was beating fast, and her palms were sweaty, she still was not planning to “give in.”
She swallowed, leaned forward a bit, and moved closer to Su Peng.
Before she could say anything, Su Peng had already taken her movement as an invitation.
The next moment, their lips touched. An Han’s eyes widened instantly. The sudden, intense closeness made her whole body tense up, as if all the air around her had disappeared.
The hand on her lower back started to move around randomly, making her skin feel like it was burning everywhere it touched.
[Task completed…]
The moment she saw the system message pop up, An Han suddenly pushed Su Peng away.
Su Peng had no time to react. He was pushed straight onto the bed, stunned for a second, and when he looked up again, he saw An Han jump off the bed like a startled rabbit, quickly grabbing her jacket from the bedside table and putting it on.
“Huh? Why are you getting dressed…”
For a moment, he almost thought today’s “compensation” was going to level up.
“That’s enough! I’m hungry!”
An Han suddenly switched expressions, just a moment ago she was soft and shy, and now she was acting like someone who doesn’t even know him.
Su Peng’s face darkened. “Then what about me?”
“What’s that got to do with me? Handle it yourself!”
If things continued, the real problem wouldn’t be Su Peng, it would be her…
Right now he was barely holding back. If he couldn’t anymore, she might end up needing a hospital checkup.
Stupid system! Always pushing people into dangerous situations!
An Han instantly forgot that she herself enjoyed the thrill just moments ago, and complained at the system in her heart.
“Then help me a little?”
“It’s the middle of the day…”
An Han pretended not to care as she talked, but her eyes went to the system window.
[Task completed. Stamina +1]
Stamina? Nice!
As long as it wasn’t a “body” attribute again.
Her eyes lit up.
She wondered if this stamina was the same kind she understood, better endurance when running, more energy overall. Maybe after school this evening, she could go to the track and run a couple of laps. It had been a long time since she exercised.
Just as she was distracted thinking about this, she suddenly felt Su Peng grab her hand.
She turned her head and saw him looking at her pitifully, like a big golden retriever.
“You can’t start a fire and then walk away.”
The blush she’d managed to hold down now came back, even deeper. An Han’s face turned red again, her lips pressed together as she hesitated.
If she just helped him a little, it shouldn’t increase his affection score… right?
It wasn’t like this was the first time.
It was just… in broad daylight…
It felt scary to even think about.
An Han seriously doubted that when the day came she truly “gave in,” she would even be able to handle it.
