Chapter 479 – A Typical Chance Encounter
I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl
I couldnât help but think of an overseas marriage. I felt like if anyone was going to have an overseas marriage with Xiong YaoYue, Hawaii would be the most suitable destination.
Ai Mi changed my thoughts, âI say a vacation, but itâs mainly to send you guys to learn. The School for Butlers & Hospitality in Brussels is about to start and you guys can get a crash course during your summer vacation. You can actually start working properly for me once you finish your education or are you guys going to keep being amateurs.â
A butler school? Isnât that just extra lessons over summer? Who would go and study more over summer break?
âThe registration fee is 7000 euros per person. I hope you and Winnie donât fail to live up to my expectations.â
7000 euros, isnât that equivalent to Â¥50,000? If both Xiong YaoYue and I go, then it would cost Â¥100,000. I donât think you can find any summer lessons that expensive in China.
âThatâs expensive?â Ai Mi shook her head, â7000 euros is only for one term. It takes 12 terms to finish the course.â
12 terms, then wouldnât that be Â¥1,200,000? If you had that much money, why would you be a butler when you can just hire one.
âThe training location is held at Hotel Le Plaza in Brussels. If you guys finish all the work for the day, then you can go sightseeing in Brussels. Itâs the place where the EU council is located and also known as the most beautiful city in Europe. Thereâs also the battlefield where the Battle of Waterloo was heldâ¦â
Sigh, Iâm slightly moved. I heard the famous Manneken Pis is also in Brussels. As the capital of Belgium, Brussels also holds the Belgian Comic Strip Center. Tintin and his dog stands at the entrance of the museum and it was also referenced in an information section in The Adventures of Tintin.
No, Xiong YaoYue might be eager to go if she learns she can travel abroad for free, but Iâm not falling for Ai Miâs tricks.
The butler title might sound better than manservant, but itâs not something a normal person can become! From the moment you become a butler, you can to throw away all your common sense. You can see from various anime that butlers have to run faster than bullets and be able to pierce tanks by throwing cutlery. If you canât drive a giant robot, then you have to be able to tear them apart with your bare hands!
Iâm not afraid of any challenge as a Spartan, but a studentâs break is sacred. Even if I like becoming stronger, I still wonât head to Brussels for hell training during my summer break!
Ai Mi clicked her tongue when she heard I was not going.
âIf thatâs the case, then Iâll ask if Winnie wants to go. Hmph, you can stay here and be a manservant forever.â
Donât look down on bodyguards, they have to remember things too! Like the time you forgot Gong CaiCai in the metal cabinet, if you made a mistake like that as a bodyguard, you would be told to pack your things and leave.
On Saturday night, I stared at the words my dad taped under the glass coffee table âImportant Matters Firstâ and decided to focus all my attention until next Wednesday on the basketball game.
I got up early on Sunday morning an planned to head to 28 Middle to practice basketball. I already heard the other members of class 2-3 would be there, but they didnât call me. Niu ShiLiâs injury was already healed, so he was leasing the training session. He prohibited the other team members from telling me.
But I still heard about it from Loud Mouth. Anything that happens in class 2-3 will pass by Loud Mouth.
I arrived at the school gates early in the morning and was thinking how I should pretend it was a coincidence, but then I saw Xiao Qin along with a girl wearing a pleated skirt.
Isnât the girl with the skirt He Ling? Sheâs supposed to be her senior, so why she is dressed younger?
âSis Qin, I did as you said and dressed like thisâ¦â He Ling was ashamed of the bow knot on her head and she tried to cover it with her hand.
âNot bad.â Xiao Qin was holding a manga book and compared the cover to He Ling, âThe cute type has the highest chance of succeeding. Iâve already arranged your chance encounter with Niu ShiLi, so all you have to do is follow my script.â
So she still didnât forget to force He Ling to be Niu ShiLiâs girlfriend? I hid behind a car and wanted to see what Xiao Qin wrote for her script.
Xiao Qin told He Ling to put on a red backpack, then she pulled out a slice of bread and put it in front of He Ling.
âOpen your mouth and bite onto it, but donât actually eat it, understand?â
He Ling followed along and her speech became muddled with a piece of bread in her mouth.
âThenâ¦. wut?â
Xiao Qin patted He Ling on the back and caused her to stagger, âNext is a classic scene in shoujo manga. You have to yell âIâm late, Iâm lateâ with a piece of bread in your mouth, then collide into Niu ShiLi to begin your romantic life.â
Late for what, itâs Sunday! And He Ling doesnât even go to our school! Also, how is she going to yell out sheâs late with bread in her mouth?
He Ling had a complicated expression, âSis Qin, do I really have to do it, it feels embarrassingâ¦â
Xiao Qin answered with a smile: âYou donât have to do it. As long as you can beat me, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.â
He Lingâs face darkened, âThen I guess Iâll go embarrass myselfâ¦â
At this time, Niu ShiLi came striding forwards towards the school gate wearing his sports goggles and carrying a clover basketball bag.
âHeâs Niu ShiLi?â He Ling was a bit astonished, âWhy is it someone even more buff than Ye Lin, I thought he would be a bookworm?â
âIs it love at first sight?â
He Lingâs face stiffened, âNo, heâs not my type. He looks too serious.â
âNo worries.â Xiao Qin said, âYou donât need to like him, itâs fine as long as he likes you.â
âWhy? Sis Qin, why do you have to force me to be his girlfriend?â
Xiao Qin still had an innocent smile on her face, âAs an apology! I once mistook Niu ShiLi for Ye Lin and gave him a beating. If I donât introduce him a girlfriend, Ye Lin classmate wonât forgive me.â
I never said that, donât try to push the blame to me. I only wanted you to apologize directly to Niu ShiLi.
âEven if thatâs the case, whatâs the rush. At least wait until summer breakâ¦â
He Ling wanted to delay time.
âSummer break would be too late.â Xiao Qin frowned, âYour main task is to make sure Niu ShiLi canât concentrate on basketball, otherwise Ye Lin classmate would be forced to drink Fu Yan Jie.â
So she wanted to sway the basketball team memberâs heart? Of course it lowers the chance I have to drink Fu Yan Jie, but it will also make class 2-3 lose miserably.
Then wouldnât my dream of getting free food at the class leaderâs home disappear?
I knew Xiao Qin wasnât trying to be a matchmaker, she only wanted to stop me from eating at the class leaderâs home.
Regardless if itâs to achieve victory or eat at the class leaderâs home, I have to stop Xiao Qinâs evil plan. Besides, He Ling doesnât even want to be Niu ShiLiâs girlfriend.
The automatic gate began to open after Niu ShiLi greeted the security guard. Xiao Qin patted He Lingâs backpack and said:
âNowâs the time. After you rush over and knock down Niu ShiLi, you have to fall backward. Donât forget to reveal your underwear or your first encounter would be ruined.â
He Ling had an awkward expression, âWith Niu ShiLiâs figure, even if itâs a surprise attack, it would be hard for me to knock him down. And you also want me to fall backwards after I knock him down, I think thatâs going against the laws of physicsâ¦â
âDamn it, I could only think about Fridayâs Physics homework I didnât know how to do at all when you mentioned laws of physics. Remember, as long as thereâs love, the laws of physics is irrelevant. Also, donât forget to show your underwear.â
He Ling was still a bit too cowardly to advance, âThe problem is I donât love him at all. The strange way of falling would tire me out and as for showing my underwear⦠unless I lift up my skirt, thereâs no way my underwear would be revealed.â
âIs that so?â Xiao Qin buried her face in a manga, âBut girls in manga can do itâ¦â
Based on He Lingâs expression, she must have wanted to say: âSis Qin, you just read too much manga.â But she was afraid of Xiao Qin and stayed silent.
âLittle strawberryâ¦â
Xiao Qin called He Ling with the nickname she gave her. He Ling doesnât like the nickname but was too afraid to say anything.
âI donât care if you kick him down with Taekwondo or sit on his face, but you have to let him see your underwear. Your mission is complete as long as you fill his head with thoughts of your underwear before next Wednesday.â
After Xiao Qin urged her again, He Ling didnât have a choice but to close her eyes and run at Niu ShiLi.
She was holding a slice of bread in her mouth as she tried to yell out âIâm lateâ with a muffled scream.
It was a matter of life and death, so I ran out from behind the car and stood between Niu ShiLi and He ling. I yelled: âStop, donât attack my teammate!â
He Ling was too excited. She wasnât able to stop in time and ended up colliding into me.
