Chapter 229 – Disaster

After repeatedly promising that I would not hurt her, Gong CaiCai was able to take a breath of relief and talk normally.

“Rest assured…, I promised the class leader I won’t tell anyone. I promise I won’t say anything! If I tell anyone… then the flowers in my home will die…”

Gong CaiCai made a solemn vow as if there was a god watching her from the skies.

“We never did anything!” I scratched my head and said, “It was actually all a hallucination, no, it was an accident! The class leader only bumped lips with me because she wanted my hair and I didn’t want to give it to her!”

I said as I pointed to my head.

But Gong CaiCai did not have the guts to raise her head when she spoke to me. She was also short so she could not see my actions at all. Based on her line of sight, she should be looking at my abdomen or somewhere even lower.

Gong CaiCai revealed a pained expression when she heard the class leader wanted my hair.

“Is… that right? I don’t really understand, but I guess it’s not strange between couples?”

Who’s in a relationship with the class leader! How much did you misunderstand! I was talking about hair, the hair from my head! Don’t think about strange things!

Didn’t the class leader already explain it to you once during lunch? Did she not mention the hair situation? Was it because she was too embarrassed to let Gong CaiCai know how bad her OCD was, so she only guaranteed I would not harm her?

“Hey, why are your comprehension skills so low even though you’re the study committee member? Listen to what I’m saying!”

Gong CaiCai began to tremble and almost cried when I scared her.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry someone like me is the study committee member…”

She bent her body at a respectful 90–degree angle. It would be good if the Japs also sincerely apologized for the Nanjing massacre like her.

“Eh, I have no issues with you being the study committee member. The main problem is that you always misunderstand my intentions…”

Suddenly a volleyball came down from the sky. I only felt a slight brush of wind on the back of my head and I reflexively dodged it. Since I dodged, the volleyball headed straight towards Gong CaiCai’s face. She stood there helplessly and accepted her fate by closing her eyes.

I stuck out my hands without think and stopped the volleyball with a combination of basketball skills and Hua Jin from Yin Yang Sanshou. I was able to stop it 5cm away from her face.

Xiong YaoYue’s voice came from not far away: “Not bad!”

Right when I was feeling suspicious, Xiong YaoYue ran over in a flash and hid Gong CaiCai behind her. She said to me in a bad mood:

“So you’re trying to take advantage of Gong CaiCai right after you took advantage of me! Guys are the worst! It’s only because her boobs are large…”

Xiong YaoYue said as she reached out her claws and patted Gong CaiCai’s chest.

“…Are you bullying her because she has big breasts? I got the wrong perception of you! You still look cooler when you’re fighting upper years! Are you not ashamed of doing these things?”

Xiong YaoYue’s reprimand put me in a good mood.

“Huh? So according to you, it seems like you’re a good person while I’m a bad person? But it appears you bullied Gong CaiCai way more times than me! Who was the one who threatened to lift her skirt? Who was the one who was just feeling up her breasts? What right do you have to criticize me?”

Xiong YaoYue did not soften her tone, “Hmph! Don’t argue! I’m the only one who can bully Gong CaiCai! No one else is allowed to!”

Then she grabbed her chin as if she suddenly thought of something, “But based on my relationship with the class leader, I can let her in on the fun if she also wants to bully Gong CaiCai…”

Are you treating Gong CaiCai as a plush toy! The class leader would never waste her time by bullying Gong CaiCai!

“Anyway, move! Our relationship is not good to the point where I would share Gong CaiCai with you!”

Xiong YaoYue shooed me like I was a chicken, “Leave! —— You think I won’t kick you?!”

I felt I would not make any progress even if I stayed, so I headed towards the basketball courts.

“Hey! Wait!” Xiong YaoYue yelled from behind, “The volleyball! Don’t take the volleyball! What would I play with if you take the volleyball! Are you telling me to play with Gong CaiCai’s balls!”

After Xiong YaoYue mentioned her breasts multiple times, Gong CaiCai sadly lowered her head and her eyes turned bleak.

I was planning on spiking the volleyball to Xiong YaoYue to teach her a lesson, but I handed it back normally after I thought about Gong CaiCai who was right behind her.

When I passed by the old banyan tree, I coincidentally heard Little Smart cursing Niu ShiLi’s name.

Huh? How did Niu ShiLi upset Little Smart? Niu ShiLi is the vice-class leader and he always follows behind the class leader, what could he do to bother Little Smart?

It turns out it was because Captain Guo SongTao did independent training with Niu ShiLi after school yesterday, so it made Little Smart upset because she always imagined Guo SongTao to be Shen ShaoYi’s partner. She felt like Niu ShiLi was the third wheel who interfered with this relationship.

Ah, thank you Niu ShiLi. If you did not offer yourself, then Little Smart’s wrath would have been directed towards me!

The day ended uneventfully. On the way home, I wanted to ask Xiao Qin when she would return brother Optimus Prime, but I could not find her. I only found her waiting behind a telephone pole after I left the school gates.

Xiao Qin smiled and asked: “Ye Lin classmate, do you want to go home togetherrrrr?”

“Togethrrrrr my ass! Don’t try to make me forget by acting cute! Don’t forget to return brother Optimus Prime tonight! You promised!”

“(*^__^*) Hehe, Ye Lin classmate, let’s play a game of tag!”

Xiao Qin said as she began running away.

“Who wants to play such an immature game! You clearly don’t want to return brother Optimus Prime! I’ll denounce you as my girlfriend if you don’t return it!”

“Can’t help it, guess I’ll ride the subway home and get it… But can I write my homework at your home?”

I thought about it carefully. It would be a great day if I could get back Optimus Prime and be able to copy homework!

But I still had a bit of an inexplicable concern: “Won’t Auntie Ren ask if you leave without writing your homework?”

Xiao Qin shook her head.

“Mom is not coming home tonight… Um can I also eat dinner at your place? I won’t cause any trouble for you, I’ll even bring dinner tonight!”

“Uh… You don’t have to bring anything, I’ll order takeout.” I said with hesitation, “Just bring brother Optimus Prime… right, you can give me your bag so you don’t have to carry it back and forth.”

“It’s… alright.” Xiao Qin suspiciously declined, “I have my keys in there and it might get lost… I don’t mind carrying my bag back and forth if it means I can eat and write homework with Ye Lin classmate!”

Xiao Qin waved goodbye and walked towards the subway station.

I sat at home waiting for Xiao Qin with unease. I always feel as if things would not go as smoothly as I imagine. There’s no way Xiao Qin would simply return brother Optimus Prime to me.

I opened the door after I heard a series of hesitant knocks. As expected, it was Xiao Qin with an apologetic expression. Although she was carrying her bag, her hands were empty and I have no idea where Optimus Prime was hidden.

She immediately knelt down when she entered the door.

“I’m extremely sorry! Optimus Prime was snatched away from me!! They had a lot of people, I think they were from the mafia… Scold me! Punish me! You can do anything as long as I can stay as your girlfriend!”

Xiao Qin sat on the ground and acted pitiful, “It’s a pity Optimus Prime was snatched by the mafia! I hope they won’t torture him!”

Srew you! Why the hell would the mafia snatch a toy?! You clearly were not planning on returning brother Optimus Prime to me, so you told a clearly false lie! So it turns out you only came to get a free meal and write homework!
