Chapter 366: Where’s my reward?
“Hey, do you think Dongming will really start liking cross-dressing in the future?”
After lunch, An Han rested her cheeks on her hands and stared at the tightly closed guest-room door. She spoke with bad intentions as she guessed what Wu Dongming was doing inside for half an hour without coming out. “He’s not doing something weird in there, right?”
“Not very likely.”
“Hmm… later you should secretly check his phone. I’m sure he took a lot of selfies.”
“Oh, you mean that...”
Su Peng was cleaning the dishes and his expression froze awkwardly.
“What else could I mean?” An Han rolled her eyes at him. “Your head is full of dirty thoughts!”
“No, you misunderstood me. You’re the one thinking dirty.”
“Go wash the dishes!”
Since An Han already cooked, there was no way she would also wash the pot and dishes. Even though Su Peng used to have zero housework skills, after living with her for some time, he slowly became good at washing dishes and cleaning pots.
She felt that after a bit longer, this young master would be trained by her into a housework expert.
Back then, this young master didn’t even know how to pick vegetables, and washing dishes made him panic.
Her flat stomach had now turned into a small belly from eating. An Han rubbed it gently twice, stretched lazily, hummed a little tune, and walked toward the bedroom.
My house is going to be mine soon~
The property certificate should be in the wardrobe, right?
She happily walked into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and searched everywhere. But her cheerful smile slowly froze.
Where is my property certificate?!
She couldn’t find it…
Looks like receiving the reward will take more trouble.
An Han’s face instantly darkened. She hated this about the system the most. The tasks were already hard and embarrassing, and the rewards were always delivered slowly. Sometimes the system even twisted the meaning of the reward’s wording and hid strange side effects.
She immediately thought of a possibility about how the reward would be given.
Maybe the “house” mentioned was actually already hers.
For example, the house her father bought recently, even though there was still a loan, maybe in the future the owner’s name would be changed to hers. Or maybe when she marries Su Peng, his parents would add her name to one of their houses.
It couldn’t be something useless like a toy model house, right?
If it was that, then it would be way too stupid.
The more she thought about it, the darker her expression became. She cursed inside as she walked out of the bedroom, not even in the mood to tease Wu Dongming anymore.
Just as she stepped out, Wu Dongming also walked out of the guest room, already changed into male clothes, still wearing the pretty makeup.
Su Peng, sitting in the living room, heard the noise. He turned his head without thinking, got scared, and almost thought a female thief in men’s clothes had entered the house.
But after looking more carefully, he finally recognized the face. With that delicate makeup, he nearly didn’t recognize his classmate.
Didn’t An Han turn him into a ghost with her makeup?!
Su Peng looked at An Han beside the sofa with a confused face.
“You can change people’s faces too?”
“I already told you my makeup skills are amazing.”
Wu Dongming lowered his head and quickly ran into the bathroom. Soon the sound of running water came from inside.
“The makeup done by the disguise camera should be waterproof, right?”
An Han whispered as she walked to the bathroom door and peeked inside. Wu Dongming was lowering his head, scooping water with both hands, and splashing it nonstop on his face.
“You need makeup remover.” She casually pointed at the bottle sitting in the corner of the sink.
It had been sitting there for almost a month and was already gathering dust.
“Oh.”
“Are you staying for dinner?”
“No, I’ll eat on the way home.”
Wu Dongming lifted his head a little and used the corner of his eye to glance at An Han, who was standing at the door. His face was blank, without even a bit of the shyness he had earlier when he wore the women’s clothes. His tone was calm, just like when he normally talked to An Han.
“Your clothes… how do you plan to handle them later?”
“Throw—…”
An Han paused, then quickly reacted. She waved her hand with a disgusted face.
“You wore them. Put them in a bag and take them with you. And remember to transfer me the money. The whole set cost more than one hundred.”
“Oh.”
So scary~
An Han muttered in her heart. He was a normal straight guy, but after putting on women’s clothes and getting all dressed up, not only did he wear them once, it looked like he even planned to take them home to wear again someday.
She shivered, suddenly feeling very guilty, and asked, “You’re not planning to secretly wear them again in the future, right?”
“How is that possible?”
“Then why are you taking the women’s clothes with you?”
“……”
After a moment of silence, Wu Dongming finally showed some emotion. He gritted his teeth, his shoulders shaking. “I’m going to burn them!”
“Ehhh~ I don’t believe you.”
An Han’s eyebrow twitched. “Stop washing! Who uses half a bottle of water to remove makeup?! That stuff is expensive!”
“Then I’m leaving.”
Wu Dongming finally lifted his head. He wiped his wet face with tissues and walked past An Han with heavy and tired steps.
He found a bag, put the women’s clothes inside, and ignored the attempts from Su Peng and An Han to make him stay. With a face full of despair, he left the rental apartment.
“Poor guy.”
“Yeah~ so pitiful.”
An Han and Su Peng stood on the balcony, watching Wu Dongming’s figure slowly disappear. The afternoon sunlight stretched his shadow long behind him, as if showing the psychological shadow this crossdressing experience had left on him.
Su Peng glanced at An Han’s expression and finally felt relieved.
Being friends with An Han was really dangerous. Luckily he had already turned An Han into his girlfriend. That should mean she won’t force him to wear women’s clothes… right?
But soon, he noticed An Han frowning slightly.
“What’s wrong? You tricked Dongming but you’re still not happy?”
“No, my stomach just feels uncomfortable…”
An Han held her belly like she had period cramps. She turned her body and half-sat on the laundry sink, then asked, “Do you think your mom and dad would suddenly give me a house and tell me to break up with you or something?”
If it was only given after they got married, that would take at least two or three years, right? The system’s reward shouldn’t be delayed for that long.
“They wouldn’t, right? That’s way too stupid.”
“Hmm… then could it be my dad?” An Han pressed her finger lightly on her lower lip, confused.
The uncle and aunt, or her own parents giving her a house, made sense. It was also the method she could accept the most, and it matched the system’s usual style.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” An Han was too lazy to think so much. Her reward wouldn’t disappear anyway.
She stood up straight and casually started taking down the laundry from the balcony. Su Peng helped beside her, though he kept sneaking glances at her.
When they were almost done, Su Peng finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity.
“Why do you suddenly want a house?”
“I was just daydreaming… thinking maybe someone might give me one for free.”
“It’s fine. In two years we can earn money ourselves and buy one.”
“Huh?”
Your parents are super rich, and we still need to earn money ourselves to buy a house?
An Han froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Su Peng was currently arguing with his parents. It made sense he didn’t want to rely on them.
“Yeah, we’ll earn money ourselves and buy a house.”
She agreed without hesitation. After all, she didn’t choose Su Peng because of his family’s money.
