Chapter 517: Magic Act

“What are you guys talking about?” Ai Mi, who found another bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, interjected, “The manservant will never marry the violent girl. He’s only temporarily acting as her girlfriend to play with her feelings.”

Everyone was shocked by her statement, excluding Xiao Qin who still hasn’t returned from the bathroom. The class leader, Xiong YaoYue, Loud Mouth, Little Smart, and Gong Cai Cai, all looked at me like I was trash.

Of course, the subtext in everyone’s gaze was different based on their personalities.

The class leader’s eyes said: didn’t you say she will be your stepsister in the future? What kind of trash plays with the feelings of their stepsister?

Xiong YaoYue’s eyes said: I thought only pretty boys can play with girls’ feelings, can Ye Lin even be a playboy with his appearance?

Loud Mouth and Little Smart: found trash….

Gong CaiCai: Ye Lin classmate told me before he was scum and likes to womanize, so it was true…

“Hey, you guys misunderstood, it’s all a child’s nonsense.” I hurriedly defended myself and kept sending glances at Ai Mi. Ai Mi clicked her tongue, then she turned her head to ignore me and focused on drinking her cola.

At this time, Xiao Qin returned to the living room and everyone tactfully ended the discussion.

“It’s my first time helping a classmate celebrate their birthday, I’m a bit nervous…”

Xiao Qin spoke to Gong CaiCai as friendly as possible which only made Gong CaiCai more uncomfortable and she couldn’t help but shiver.

“Speaking of which, apart from Cai Cai, when is everyone else’s birthday? How about we all spend it together in the future?”

Xiao Qin continued to ask with a smile on her face.

“My birthday passed in May.” Xiong YaoYue said grumpily, “At that time the Wasteland Wolf team celebrated my birthday at a internet cafe and the team captain personally played support for me. In the end, we were unlucky and lost seven times consecutively. I get mad just thinking about it…”

“Mine and Little Smart’s birthday are during winter break.” Loud Mouth said with a bit of regret, “We always celebrate it with family every time, so we don’t really have a chance to invite classmates, what a pity.”

Ai Mi, whose birthday was on April Fool’s, silently went to the balcony to look at the scenery, but soon came back because of her fear of heights.

“(^__^) Hehehe… since everyone finished, my birthday is on July 28. I really hope to receive a gift from Ye Lin classmate.”

Hey hey, the class leader and I still didn’t say our birthdays. Even if you know my birthday, you shouldn’t skip over the class leader. Do you not want me to know the class leader’s birthday that badly?

The date July 28 also sounds familiar. Didn’t we learn in history class that World War I started on the same day? So Xiao Qin was born on the outbreak of World War I, no wonder she’s always surrounded by carnage.

“I remember the class leader was born on New Year’s Eve, right?” Sure enough, someone brought up the class leader’s birthday. Loud Mouth laughed and said, “It’s because the class leader was in a rush to leave the womb, so she’s the only dragon in our class and all the other students are snakes.”

“I can’t control when I’m born…” the class leader wasn’t proud even though there was a saying that dragons rule snakes. It’s probably because the obsessive compulsive class leader wants to be a snake like everyone else.

As for me, I was born only a few hours later than the class leader, so I was born on the first day of the year of the snake. I lost the majestic “dragon” title, and I was younger than the class leader by a year based on the lunar calendar even though the difference is only a day.

Ai Mi suddenly asked, “Violent girl, what gift did you bring?”

Ai Mi used the question I was troubled with earlier to stump Xiao Qin. The two of them were always causing trouble for each other.

Gong CaiCai hastily came out to resolve the dispute, she waved her hand and said, “No need for gifts, I’m happy that everyone is here…”

“I’m sorry.” Xiao Qin sincerely bowed at Gong CaiCai, “I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring any gifts, I’m so sorry.”

“To show my apologies, I’ll perform a magic trick.”

Huh, I knew Xiao Qin knows martial arts, but I never heard she knows magic. Is she going to use her super fast hands to perform a slight of hand? I have to keep my eyes open to see if I can catch the trick.

“What magic trick are you going to perform?” The class leader was also curious.

“Hmph, at most she’s going to make some cutlery appear.” Ai Mi didn’t think much of Xiao Qin’s performance.

“I… I’m going to transform a person.”

Xiao Qin shouted confidently.

“Disappearing act.” Xiong YaoYue said excitedly, “That’s quite a difficult magic trick. Xiao Qin you can perform it without being on stage? I want to see it, I want to see it.”

“Uh huh~” Xiao Qin coughed, “I need a volunteer to participate…”

“Pick me, pick me.” Xiong YaoYue raised her right hand in excitement.

“Sorry, I’m not that skilled at this trick, so the volunteer must be Ye Lin classmate.”

Xiao Qin said and took a step closer to me, while Ai Mi made the threatening expression of a fierce dog protecting its food.

I’ll volunteer. I’d like to see Xiao Qin’s skills, and what she could do to make me disappear.

“In addition to Ye Lin classmate, I also need some other props.” Xiao Qin continued, “Cai Cai, do you have a blanket I can borrow.”

“A blanket?” Gong CaiCai was surprised, “Don’t they usually use red cloth?”

“Haha, my school is more traditional, we’re used to using blankets.”

How much arm strength would a magician need to use a blanket to make a person disappear? Is it actually tearing the blanket apart and stuffing the person inside? Please don’t destroy Gong CaiCai’s property and please don’t destroy the reputation of magicians!

After Xiong YaoYue enthusiastically carried over a blanket, Xiao Qin didn’t take it, but instead told Xiong YaoYue to spread it out in the middle of the living room.

It’s not the typical routine I’m familiar with.

Xiao Qin laid her hands out flat with her palms down, then mumbled a bunch of gibberish. If you listen carefully, you can hear her say something about the skies and the spirits.

I thought it was time for the volunteer to take the stage, but I didn’t expect Xiao Qin to take a step forward and naturally lie down on her back on top of the blanket.

Her eyes were closed and her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, both like a prayer and the posture of a mummy.

Everyone was baffled and held their breath, not knowing how Xiao Qin was going to perform her trick.

“Ye Lin classmate.” Xiao Qin called my name with her eyes closed.

“It’s your turn.”

“Eh, what should I do?” I walked next to the blanket and looked at Xiao Qin who was lying flat on her back.

“Just pounce.”

“What?”

“Just throw yourself on top of me.” Xiao Qin’s tone suddenly turned coy, she rubbed her two well-proportioned legs against each other, “Pounce on me like you wanted to do before. Hold me down under you and do what you love, then after ten months my magic trick…”

Magic trick my ass. First, there’s no way you can get pregnant while your on your menstrual period and there’s no way I would mate with you in front of others.

Xiao Qin closed her eyes and called out, “Come Ye Lin classmate, I can’t perform the trick without you…”

I hit Xiao Qin’s head with a knuckle and brought tears of pain to her eyes.

“Ah, Ye Lin classmate is bullying me, he said he would be a volunteer.”

I’m a magic volunteer, not a sperm donor volunteer, give me something a little more normal.

“Hahahahaha,.” Xiong YaoYue suddenly covered her stomach and laughed, she pointed at Xiao Qin and said, “This is too interesting, it’s not magic but a comedic skit. I have to write it down, it may come in handy later. Class leader, let’s let Xiao Qin perform this at the next New Years party.

“So it’s a skit.” Loud Mouth breathed a long sigh of relief, “I thought Xiao Qin was serious when I saw her expression earlier. You shouldn’t make these kinds of jokes even if you are childhood friends.”

No, Xiao Qin was serious. If I didn’t set the line right now, then Xiao Qin would have actually performed a real life AV video in front of everyone. She was using the gift as an excuse to show off her dominance to the class leader and Ai Mi.

“I’ll go check on the food.” The class leader’s words caused the conversation to turn in a normal direction. After Xiong YaoYue put away the blanket, everyone agreed the blanket event was now over.

As the girls resumed their conversation about cooking, I noticed the class leader hiding in the kitchen, trying desperately to wipe a plate.

Why wasn’t she using water, was she trying to be frugal? I went over to say something, but when I got closer, I noticed that she was wiping the plate with a piece of sandpaper and the plate she was holding was missing a piece.

“What are you doing class leader?” I was very puzzled, and the class leader was embarrassed she got caught.

“Nothing, just… recycling it…”

I suddenly realized: was class leader going to sand the plate smaller so the hole would disappear? I think that would be as difficult as grinding an iron pipe into a needle. It might appear to be frugal, but it’s incredibly stupid.

“Don’t bother.” I grabbed the plate and threw it into the trash, “No matter how many plates Gong CaiCai breaks in the future, someone will always buy them for her, so what are you doing?”

The class leader glared at me with discontent. At this moment, Xiao Qin walked in happily and took a deep breath.

“It smells delicious. Class leader, teach me how to cook.”
