Sure enough, Long Xing’s affection for me has already gone past eighty.

After National Day, I have to be extra careful around Long Xing. God knows what that guy might do to me.

And Su Peng... his affection wasn’t even at eighty yet, so that was still barely acceptable. But what was that Charmed status supposed to mean? And what was with that rising icon?

[Su Peng’s Affection +5]

The system prompt appeared in An Han’s vision again. Right after that, Su Peng’s affection jumped straight from 77 to 82.

His heart nearly stopped for a beat.

He still didn’t understand what affection above eighty really meant. But in his mind, it had to be something close to “liking.” Otherwise, the system wouldn’t have given an extra prompt.

He turned to look at Su Peng. Su Peng was staring straight at his face. His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were hazy.

Then An Han looked lower. That bulging tent in Su Peng’s pants made it instantly clear what was going on. Lust had gone to his head, and he was one step away from crossing the line of the law.

An Han truly couldn’t figure out where things had gone wrong.

But he knew one thing. If this kept up, he’d be taking a trip to the proctology department.

“An Han...” Su Peng’s voice was husky. He unconsciously leaned forward, moving closer to An Han.

An Han shot to his feet. In an especially serious tone, he said, “I just remembered I’ve got something to do. Why don’t you head back first?”

“What’s wrong?” Su Peng froze mid-motion, and his eyes cleared a little.

That only made An Han panic more. He hurried to open the door, grabbed Su Peng by the arm, and dragged him outside.

“It’s something urgent. Get out first!”

“I’ll call you back later to play games. Take your laptop with you too!”

He hurriedly shoved Su Peng out of the dorm. Then he ran over, picked up Su Peng’s laptop, stuffed it straight into his arms, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

But after the door let out that loud crash, it bounced right back and smacked An Han in the forehead.

“Ah!”

“You okay?” Su Peng pushed the door open and came in, full of concern.

“I’m fine! I’m fine!” His concern left An Han at a loss. One hand covered his head, while the other kept pushing Su Peng out. “Why are you jamming the door with your foot?!”

“Hurry up and get out!”

Su Peng looked completely baffled. “What the hell is wrong with you all of a sudden? Why are you so set on kicking me out?”

Just a moment ago, An Han had been so warm and enthusiastic. Now he’d suddenly turned hostile.

“Your forehead’s swollen. Let me see what happened.”

But the gentler and more caring Su Peng acted, the more frantic An Han became. He didn’t even care about the pain in his forehead anymore and kept pushing him out.

“It’s fine. I can handle it myself.”

“What exactly happened?”

An Han’s brain spun desperately, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.

No good! How am I supposed to come up with one?!

He could only plead earnestly, “It’s really urgent, Su Peng. Just wait a bit for me, okay? I’ll be done soon.”

“You can’t tell me?”

Those big eyes blinked with a watery shimmer. The pleading in his gaze, the softness in his voice, that weak and delicate look—it was too much for Su Peng to handle, and he took two steps back.

“Then I...”

He hadn’t even finished speaking. But those two steps had just happened to take him out of the dorm room. An Han seized the chance, slammed the door shut, and immediately locked it.

“Handled!” An Han let out a sigh of relief, but then his eyelid twitched again.

[Su Peng’s Affection +5]

Good thing I got Su Peng out. Otherwise, that affection would’ve really gone through the roof!

He still had no idea what would happen if affection broke a hundred. But no matter how you looked at it, it couldn’t be anything good!

So then why the hell did Su Peng have a Charmed status?

An Han panted heavily. With his back against the door, he weakly slid down and sat on the floor.

This is way too hard.

Su Peng’s footsteps in the hallway were clear. He was pacing back and forth without leaving. An Han listened carefully, and only after waiting a long while did he hear the sound of a door opening and closing in the next dorm over.

Irritated, he scratched at his hair, turning what had been a fairly neat hairstyle into a total mess. Then he started checking other people’s affection toward him.

“Wu Dongming’s affection for me is sixty-five... Chen Junjie is forty-three, Wang Sheng is fifty.”

So for now, he could basically confirm that anything below seventy was just normal friendship.

Anything above seventy might involve whether they were lusting after his body or not.

Aside from those few friends who were practically with him day and night, An Han also checked some classmates he didn’t interact with much.

For those classmates who were only acquaintances and had almost no real contact with him, their affection was basically around thirty.

“I think I get it now, but what’s going on with Su Peng...”

An Han muttered to himself. Then he suddenly reacted and looked down at his own flat chest.

“Could it be because of the chest binder?”

He hadn’t increased any stats these past two days, nor had he gained any trait that would seduce men. The only new thing on him was that binder.

“Can I check the item details?”

“Right. Guess not. It already explained that once.”

But An Han immediately stood up, tidied himself a little, then turned and walked out of the dorm.

This kind of thing just needed a quick test.

It was normal to go outside and chat with some random street vendor, right?

But if those vendors’ affection also started rising for no reason, then that definitely wouldn’t be normal.

With a dark expression, he hurried out of the dorm building and headed to the food street inside the campus.

Since it was National Day, there were clearly fewer stalls on the food street. The road that was usually lively between classes was now quiet and nearly empty of students.

An Han looked around, picked a snack stall owner with a friendly face, and walked over.

“Boss, how much is one serving of sushi?”

He tried hard to put on a sweet smile and stood there calmly in front of the stall.

The owner had been scrolling Douyin. Hearing someone call out, he looked up and said with a cheerful grin, “Eight yuan. Pretty lady, if you buy one, how about I throw in an extra sausage for you?”

Pretty lady?

An Han’s smile froze. His fists clenched.

If this had been someone he knew, he would’ve already smacked them across the face. At the very least, he’d be cursing them and their whole family out.

But he still kept that bright smile on his face.

“Then give me one.”

[Sushi Stall Owner’s Affection +20]

If the target for the system’s upgrade mission had been this owner, it would’ve been completed in a single encounter.

An Han folded his arms and waited off to the side for the sushi. Then he noticed that while the owner was making it, his eyes kept sneaking glances at him almost nonstop.

[Sushi Stall Owner’s Affection +10]

[+10]

[+10]

In less than a few minutes, the owner’s affection for him had already reached fifty. It had even surpassed that of his roommates, who saw him every day.

That was way too terrifying!

[Sushi Stall Owner’s Affection +5]

An Han’s eyelid twitched. Since he didn’t know the owner’s name, he couldn’t check his status in the system. But judging from this, his Charm was obviously affecting the owner too.

“Something urgent came up. Go ahead and make the sushi first. I’ll come back for it later.”

He made the call on the spot and turned to leave.

Back to the dorm. Take off the binder, then try again.

If the owner’s affection still shot up like a rocket after that, then An Han probably wouldn’t have a single peaceful day ever again.
