“Ugh... what a headache.”

An Han had already rejected the friend request three times. At this point, he just set his phone aside. Out of sight, out of mind.

Behind him, Long Xing and Chen Junjie were openly discussing, right in front of the person involved, how they should keep harassing An Han.

“This won’t work. She’s completely ignoring me now.”

“How about I add her with my WeChat account?”

“Any other ideas?”

An Han felt that Long Xing had definitely been led astray. Sure, some girls were soft-hearted. Faced with repeated harassment from guys, they might reluctantly agree. But a relationship like that could never be that good.

Chen Junjie’s many breakups proved that well enough.

“Stop wasting your time. You don’t even know that girl’s name,” he said, turning around and crossing one leg over the other as he shot them down. “She obviously doesn’t like you. Why keep going over there just to make a fool of yourself?”

Long Xing let out a mournful sigh.

An Han pressed the advantage. “Can’t you just pick someone else? There are so many girls in the school. Do you really have to like that one?”

“She’s just... kind of special.” Long Xing propped his chin up with one hand. As he recalled the scenes of being with her, a faintly besotted smile appeared on his face without him noticing. “She’s not even that pretty, really. But the moment she talks, my heart starts racing. As long as I’m with her, I feel happy...”

“...”

An Han shivered. His scalp went numb with disgust.

He really couldn’t stay in this dorm any longer.

Better to make his girl-mode identity disappear completely. Anyway, Long Xing probably wouldn’t suspect him anymore. If he kept crossdressing, the more often he did it, the higher the chance he’d get exposed.

He started thinking about finding a time when none of his roommates were around and tossing the clothes straight into the trash.

“An Han!”

The door suddenly flew open. Wu Dongming rushed into the room in a panic, grabbed his hand, and dragged him outside.

“What are you doing?”

An Han was so stunned he didn’t even have time to resist. He was pulled all the way into the dorm hallway.

Wu Dongming first looked left and right like a guilty thief. Only then did he lower his voice and say, “Tomorrow night’s Friday! My parents are coming!”

“So let them come.”

An Han had practically forgotten what Wu Dongming’s issue even was.

“But you’ve gotta help me clear my name, okay?”

He immediately became alert. Shaking off Wu Dongming’s hand, he leaned an elbow on the railing and nodded hard. “Don’t worry! A brother’s problem is my problem!”

“When the time comes, I’ll explain it to your parents face-to-face. It was just a joke. Your sexual orientation is women. That works, right?”

“The hell it does! You need to crossdress and pretend to be my girlfriend!”

He shook his head violently. “No way! I’m never crossdressing again for the rest of my life!”

Before Wu Dongming could say anything, An Han narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down suspiciously. Then he hesitated and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re into my girl look too?”

“Get lost! I’m not some freak!”

“Spread the word! Wu Dongming says Brother Long’s a freak!” An Han turned and shouted into the dorm. Seeing that no one responded, he lowered his voice again and asked, “Then why are you so set on me crossdressing? Aren’t you worried I’ll slip up somewhere?”

Wu Dongming slung an arm around his shoulders and pressed his face over with a grin. “Brooo~ If I’m in a relationship, my parents will give me an extra two thousand a month~”

An Han craned his neck hard to keep some distance from him. “You’re scamming money out of your own parents now?”

“What do you mean scam? This is called reasonably improving my quality of life!”

“You really are a model son,” An Han said in a drippingly sarcastic tone.

[Option 1: Refuse Wu Dongming’s request and tell him to get lost. Reward: one-time Luck Coupon

Option 2: Accept his request and arrangement, and pretend to be his girlfriend to deceive his parents. Reward: full CD equipment set

Option 3: Find him a girlfriend within one day. Reward: random attribute point]

Wait a second! The system was here to stir things up too!

An Han glanced over the text on the mission screen and roughly made his judgment.

Compared to that whole apartment from before, the rewards this time weren’t outrageous. That clearly meant the mission itself probably wouldn’t be too hard.

If he refused, the consequences were obvious. Wu Dongming would probably make his crossdressing public. That was why the reward was the highest, and the difficulty... difficulty my ass. All he had to do was open his mouth and say no. The problem was the chain reaction afterward would be more than he could handle.

If he accepted, then he’d have to crossdress again, and help Wu Dongming deceive his parents.

That kind of thing went against An Han’s values. He really didn’t want to do it. And he couldn’t even make sense of that reward.

What the hell was CD equipment anyway? CDs, like discs? Laptops don’t even have disc drives anymore, okay?

“How about this? I help you find a girlfriend?” An Han didn’t accept the mission right away. He only asked tentatively.

Wu Dongming immediately grew suspicious. He took a step back, full of caution. “What are you trying to do?”

“Find you a girlfriend to fool your parents. That’s still better than me putting on women’s clothes and lying to them, right?”

“Are you dumb? There’s only one day left. Is that even enough time?”

So that was why this mission was actually the hardest, yet the reward was pitifully small.

An Han scratched his head in frustration. His already messy hair now looked even more like a bird’s nest.

He hadn’t even solved his own problems yet, and now he had to worry about Wu Dongming’s too.

“Hey, you smell kind of nice. Pretty sweet, actually.” Wu Dongming suddenly noticed a milky scent lingering around his nose.

“You smell too. Bad.”

After tossing out that casual comeback, An Han directly accepted the third mission. He rolled his eyes at Wu Dongming. “Fine. I’ll help you find a girlfriend. That settles it.”

“If you can’t find one, you’re going in yourself.” Clearly, Wu Dongming didn’t believe for a second that a girlfriend could be found within one day.

“Fine. I’ll go in myself.”

He agreed helplessly.

“An Han! A bag fell behind your desk! Is it yours?”

From the dorm behind them, Wang Sheng’s voice suddenly reached An Han’s ears.

!!!

An Han’s heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment. Cold sweat burst out of his pores in an instant. Both his palms and the backs of his hands were soaked.

My girl clothes!

The next second, he whipped around and charged into the dorm. The door slammed loudly from the impact, and everyone inside turned to look at him in surprise.

“What bag?”

He turned to Wang Sheng, only to see the guy had turned on his phone flashlight and was shining it into the narrow gap between the inside of the desk and the wall.

“I thought I saw a bag in there. My data cable fell inside.” Wang Sheng turned back and noticed sweat beading on An Han’s forehead. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. That’s my shoe bag.”

“Why’d you shove it in that deep...”

“Old shoes. I don’t wear them anymore.”

An Han enthusiastically crouched down and got under the desk first. “I’ll get it for you. Your cable, right?”

He rolled up his pant legs. Not caring that the floor was dirty, he lay flat on the ground and stuck his head and arm farther inside, butt raised in the air.

Good thing he reacted fast.

Otherwise, if Wang Sheng had taken that spot first, An Han could only have watched helplessly as Wang Sheng pulled out that bag... and then pulled that little dress out of the bag...
