Chapter 367: Brother Long’s Confession
Sometimes the system also counts the reward as part of the task difficulty.
For example, when she once got an “unexpected money” reward, An Han suddenly received many scam phone calls. If she had not already been very careful about phone scams, she might have lost a few hundred yuan before the reward even arrived.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry…”
An Han tried hard to calm down her impatience, afraid she might fall into the system’s trap if she acted wrongly.
This stupid system never acts like a normal person. After being tricked many times, she had gained experience.
But even so, she still waited… all the way until the day before the May Day holiday.
The holiday was coming, and there were clearly fewer students in class. Chen Junjie had already run away early in the morning with his suitcase. Long Xing brought his luggage to class. Wang Sheng abandoned his dorm mates and sat sweetly with his girlfriend in the back corner, whispering about something.
With her chin resting on her hands, An Han had only one question in her head.
Where is my big, beautiful house?! Did it grow long legs and run away?!
“An Han, want to hang out together during the holiday?”
She glanced at the four girls from Lin Yi’s dorm room sitting beside her. She didn’t even know how it happened, but somehow she had become an unofficial member of their dorm. Now during class she always sat with these girls and she had even joined their dorm group chat.
Even though she didn’t really have many topics to talk about with girls, having a few chatty girls next to her during class kept things from feeling boring.
“I think I’m busy during May Day.”
“Going home?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s only three days, why go home…” Lin Yi mumbled. “You never come with us. We ask you to go somewhere and you always say no.”
A few days ago, her mother called and asked her to come home for two days, saying her little sister missed her.
She also felt that going home for just a three-day break was meaningless… but what if her mother planned to give her a house?
“You’re so unsociable!” Lin Yi knocked her lightly on the head.
An Han pulled her neck back from the pain, rubbed her head, and glared at her. “Don’t hit me.”
As class was about to end, the students grew restless, talking and moving around. The teacher tried several times to keep order but completely failed.
Meanwhile, An Han silently asked the system.
“What is Uncle and Auntie’s favorability toward me?”
【Su Guangyu: Favorability 15; Zhang Peiling: Favorability 23】
So low…
This was basically the level of normal friends, right? It seemed they didn’t see her as a future daughter-in-law at all.
With her current looks, charm stat, and favorability traits combined, even strangers who only brushed past her on the street should have had a higher favorability than this.
The bell rang.
Still feeling uneasy, An Han slowly walked out of the classroom, not expecting to see Su Peng waiting in the hallway.
She froze in place. She never imagined he would be here.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
“The company is giving a three-day holiday for May Day. They even let us leave early today.” Su Peng smiled and took her hand.
An Han was already used to showing affection in public. She naturally leaned closer and held onto his arm.
“Where do you want to go during the holiday?”
“Uh… my mom wants me to go home.”
Honestly, she preferred staying with Su Peng in the apartment. Even doing nothing and playing games together felt comfortable.
She paused, then added, “She said you should come too.”
“Me? But I won’t have a place to sleep at night, right?”
“You’ll sleep at my house.”
Su Peng suddenly became excited. All the tiredness from working these past days disappeared, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
“Okay!”
An Han could already guess what this guy was thinking. She secretly rolled her eyes and didn’t bother to comment.
“Then I’ll book the tickets now?”
“Mm, book the ones for tomorrow morning.”
Holding onto Su Peng’s arm, An Han still kept thinking about her house.
If it was a house her mother was giving her… then it was most likely the one bought after the New Year, the one originally meant to be her wedding home.
But now that she had become a girl, that wedding house wouldn’t be used as planned. Her parents seemed to plan on using that house for their retirement in the future.
Just as they walked out of the teaching building, An Han saw a crowd gathered in the distance.
“Want to go take a look?”
“Yeah.”
The crowd was packed three or four layers deep. An Han was short, and even when she stood on tiptoe, she could only see a bunch of the backs of people’s heads. Around them, excited cheers rose from the students. It sounded like someone was confessing their love before the May Day holiday.
“I can’t see anything~ What’s going on?”
“Someone bought a few hundred roses and arranged them into a heart shape on the ground. Looks like he’s waiting for a girl to come out.”
An Han tried harder to stand on tiptoe, with one hand on Su Peng’s shoulder. She hopped a little, trying to see what was happening inside.
Su Peng glanced at the eager An Han beside him.
“Should I lift you up?”
“Lift me up?”
“Or you can sit on my shoulders?”
“Eh? There are so many people here.”
She shook her head in embarrassment. But suddenly, the cheers got louder, several times louder. The teasing voices slowly merged into one loud chant.
“Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”
Now she was even more curious.
“Who is it? Is the girl pretty?”
To satisfy her curiosity, she didn’t care about her pride anymore. She pressed on Su Peng’s shoulder.
“Hurry hurry, lift me up so I can see.”
Su Peng squatted down and patted his broad shoulder. An Han didn’t hesitate, she lifted her leg and sat on top.
He wobbled slightly when he tried to stand, scaring An Han, who quickly grabbed his head. “Be careful!”
“It’s fine.”
Su Peng used his strength and barely managed to stand up straight.
Luckily, An Han weighed just a little over 50 kg. Heavy, yes, but still manageable for Su Peng.
Suddenly, An Han became the tallest person in the crowd. From her spot on Su Peng’s shoulders, she easily saw everything happening in the middle. She gasped in surprise.
“It’s actually Brother Long!”
“He really has the guts!”
Beside Long Xing stood Wang Sheng and Wang Yu, both wearing formal suits. They looked embarrassed and stiff, standing awkwardly at the side.
Facing Long Xing was a short-haired, glasses-wearing girl with a cute face and a completely flat chest. She was probably only about 150 cm tall. Standing in front of the tall and muscular Long Xing, she looked like a tiny little rabbit facing a big wolf.
“She’s so short, she must be a girl…”
An Han muttered, then suddenly realized many people were staring at her now.
Her face instantly turned red. She quickly tried to hide her excited expression, a wave of shame rising inside her.
But thanks to the system’s “training,” her shame level had become very flexible. After a moment of embarrassment, she adapted quickly.
“Su Peng, do you think that girl will accept Brother Long?” She asked, excited.
But Su Peng’s attention wasn’t on Long Xing at all. Instead, he was completely distracted. Her thighs, covered in stockings, were tightly holding his neck. His nose was filled with the sweet smell of a young girl. His hands were holding her soft, slim legs. His mind was full of nothing but dirty thoughts.
“Su Peng?” An Han looked down at his red face. “Brother Long is actually pretty romantic. I always thought he was just a gym meathead.”
“When I gave you flowers, you didn’t even want them…”
“That’s different!”
“Don’t move around. I’m scared you might fall.”
“Okay!”
An Han quickly held onto his head tightly and squeezed her legs together even more.
