Chapter 359: Cross-dressing
“Roll call.”
An Han stared at the old professor taking out the attendance sheet, feeling a little confused.
Wow! Even a respected old professor was doing this!
She looked at the empty seats in the front row and suddenly burst into laughter.
“Brother Long and the others are done for!” She laughed with satisfaction and took out her phone to call Long Xing. “They just left not long ago, maybe they can still make it back.”
One reason was to warn Long Xing to hurry back, but mainly she wanted to hear the panicked yelling they would make when they learned the news.
Failing a class earlier in college might still be okay, but failing in the second semester of junior year would affect senior-year internships, no matter if they retook or made up the exam.
Su Peng looked around and asked in surprise, “Dongming ran away too?”
“He’s studying for the grad exam. He probably doesn’t have the mood to come to class.”
An Han hung up when the call didn’t go through. Long Xing was probably still celebrating his “successful skipping.”
Then her eyes lit up, and she called Wu Dongming instead.
On the podium, the professor had already started calling names. His speed wasn’t fast. He lowered his head while reading, occasionally drinking water, looking very calm. He didn’t care at all that some students who got the news rushed back into the classroom pretending they had been there the whole time.
Wu Dongming answered very quickly.
“Hello? The professor is taking attendance this period. Where are you?” An Han said with a smile in her voice.
“Taking attendance? It’s already the second period, he’s still calling names?!”
“Yeah, he’s calling right now.”
She heard hurried sounds on the other side, like chairs being pushed back. But a moment later, Wu Dongming screamed, “Sh*t! Help me answer for me! I’m in the library, I can’t make it!”
“Sure, but you have to wear girl clothes for me to see.”
She finally showed her hidden intention. Once he heard that, Wu Dongming immediately slowed down.
“Forget it. I’m studying for the grad exam. Failing doesn’t matter. I can retake it in senior year…”
“Really?”
An Han didn’t know much about the grad exam. Her big pretty eyes turned toward Su Peng.
Seeing her look, Su Peng explained, “The grad exam interview looks at your undergraduate grades. Failing a class doesn’t look good.”
“Exactly! Dongming, think again?”
“Are you crazy? Why do you want me to cross-dress so badly? Why don’t you make Su Peng wear girl clothes?!”
“Su Peng is too tall. I don’t have girl clothes that fit him.”
Besides, she had no system task about Su Peng wearing girl clothes.
The cross-dressing task for Wu Dongming still had no failure message.
There was a long silence from his side. The professor had already called Su Peng’s name on stage. “Su Peng.”
“Here!”
An Han smiled like a little devil, speaking sweetly into the phone, “He’s about to call your name. If you still don’t agree, you really will fail.”
“I don’t believe he will fail half the class!”
“He’s a professor in his sixties or seventies. You think he cares?”
Besides, all the students who heard the news had run back. Even Long Xing, who never answered the call, somehow found out and returned with the other two dormmates. They slipped in through the back door, all out of breath like they had run multiple sprints.
If Wu Dongming had gotten up the moment he answered the phone and run back, he probably could have made it too.
“I’d rather die than wear girl clothes! Never in my life!”
An Han instantly got angry. “You still have the nerve to say that?! You promised! We said if I cross-dressed, you would too! And you ran off with my clothes!”
Su Peng reminded softly beside her, “Don’t say dirty words.”
“I can’t help it when talking to him! He’s avoiding me on purpose so he doesn’t have to keep his promise! Is he even a man?!”
When she mentioned this, An Han glared angrily. If Wu Dongming had honestly worn women’s clothes back then, she could have owned a house at a young age. Maybe she also wouldn’t have become a girl and spent every day worrying about gynecology problems.
“You never do anything proper!”
“When Wu Dongming fails the class, I’m going to burn women’s clothes on his grave!”
Wu Dongming also became anxious. “That’s enough, can you stop already?!”
“You’re even yelling at me…”
Before, if someone yelled at her, An Han would definitely fight back. If things got serious, she might even fight with Wu Dongming. After all, they were both less than 1.7 meters tall, pretty much equal.
But now that she’s a girl, she needs to know her limits.
“Go to hell!”
An Han cursed as she moved her thumb toward the hang-up button. But at the last second, she heard Wu Dongming’s voice of giving up.
“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll do the women’s clothing.”
“Women’s clothing that I prepare. After you wear it, we’re even! And don’t bother me with this stupid thing again!”
“Tch, remember to answer the roll call for me.”
Right at that moment, the professor called Wu Dongming’s name.
“Wu Dongming.”
An Han lightly coughed and used a low, male voice: “Here!”
The professor didn’t even look up and continued reading the next name. An Han quickly lowered her head and said into the phone.
“Okay, remember to show me the women’s clothes!”
“Stop saying it, I know!”
After hanging up, An Han let out a hopeless sigh. There wasn’t any joy of finally “bullying” him successfully.
With Wu Dongming’s personality, there was a high chance he would try to cheat his way out of it.
And from his angry tone, it seemed she might have gone too far.
An Han lay on the desk, feeling a bit worried. She muttered, “Why do I feel like Dongming is actually angry… What if he really gives up and ignores me after wearing women’s clothes?”
Before, she would never have such thoughts. At that time, the two of them often tricked each other, and breaking promises was very normal. But after becoming a girl, the distance between her and Wu Dongming felt bigger and bigger.
“But he’s the one who tricked me into wearing women’s clothes first.” An Han tried to comfort herself. “This is just payback.”
Su Peng raised an eyebrow. “You’re getting more and more sensitive. Worrying about this and that, there’s no need.”
“Maybe…”
Is it because of the ‘sensitive’ attribute?
An Han quickly blamed the system for it.
“Wu Dongming isn’t that petty. He’s probably just pretending to be angry to scare you. He watches cross-dressing videos every day. He’s probably wanted to wear women’s clothes for a long time but is too shy.”
She looked at Su Peng. “Really?”
“Yeah.” Su Peng rested his cheek on his hand, looking at An Han’s face squished against the desk. “When I skip class to work later, will you help answer roll call for me too?”
“I’ve already been helping you these days, don’t worry.” An Han gave him a side-eye. “But I was caught twice. Some teachers don’t just call names, they actually check faces.”
The old professor had already started teaching, so An Han straightened up and focused again.
But her mind had already started imagining what Wu Dongming would look like in women’s clothing.
Should she put him in a super short skirt and crop top? Would that be too much? What if he really gets mad?
Then maybe let him wear long pants and long sleeves, but still women’s clothes?
That would complete the task… but it feels less fun.
A man cross-dressing, how many chances does that happen? Of course she should make it exciting!
An Han was completely distracted, staring blankly at the blackboard, her head full of strange thoughts.
“Number 21, An Han… please answer the question I just asked.”
“Huh?”
