Xing Xing ca just in ti, I chatted with him for a bit then asked if he could distract his aunt.
“My aunt? Oh, I just rembered! I thinks she’s a headteacher at your school! My damn brain, I forgot to remind you!”
Xing Xing made an apologetic expression.
“Uh, it’s fine don’t worry about it. Think of a way to distract her so I can leave.”
“What, does your school even care about where students eat?”
Xing Xing made a expression of righteous indignation, since he felt it was a violation of human rights.
“They don’t really care if you’re out eating by yourself, but it’s a different story for two people.”
The headteacher evidently did not know that I was acquainted with Xing Xing. When she saw that I was speaking to her nephew, she displayed expressions of alarm and surprise.
Xing Xing also realized that there were two sets of tableware on the table, and there was even a small folding umbrella placed on Shu Sha’s side.
“Eh? Brother Ye, you ca out to eat with a girl? Where is she?”
I wanted to point under the table, but felt that it was not appropriate.
“Don’t worry about it. Since the headteacher is monitoring us so closely, we can’t leave, so it’s your ti to shine!”
Xing Xing made a difficult expression.
“Brother Ye, my aunt has a pretty bad temper. Usually, even my dad would try to avoid her. Now you’re telling to distract her, that’s a bit...”
“What’s so difficult about it? Just tell her you saw a student from 28 Middle smoking in the bathroom!”
Xing Xing clasped his palms and said: “Good idea! Brother Ye, you’re really brave and smart! As your younger brother, the admiration I have for you is like the water of the Yellow River, unceasing...”
I don’t know why he was kissing my ass at a ti like this, it was just a waste of ti. I was planning on getting up and making a beating action, telling him to hurry up.
To my surprise, when I moved my foot, I don’t know if it was because I stepped on her hair, the class leader let out a shout.
I stood up halfway and imdiately sat back down.
Xing Xing had a puzzled expression: “Brother Ye, your companion crawled under the table? Is it...”
I panicked, afraid that he would say sothing shady, so I fiercely stared at him and scolded:
“There’s nothing to ask! You can’t even handle this small task! Do you still want to cut people down with !”
When he heard that I would bring him along to cut people down, his eyes lit up. He quickly nodded and ran back to the headteacher.
I don’t know what Xing Xing said to headteacher. Anyway, after listening to his words, the headteacher followed him in the direction of the n’s washroom. When he left, he glanced towards our direction.
As soon as the alarm was lifted, I lifted the tablecloth, grabbed the class leader’s hand, and pulled her out.
The class leader was like a diver who held their breath underwater for too long. Her face was deathly pale, and she gasped for air. It seed like she had a lot to say, but couldn’t talk.
I didn’t intend on listening to her complaints and started pulling her towards the exit.
“Umbrella! Umbrella!”
The class leader pointed to the umbrella on the table. I walked back and grabbed it and continued to pull the class leader towards the exit.
“Slow..., slower, my legs are numb! Every step hurts!”
I rarely hear the class leader plead. I really wanted to slow down, but if the headteacher ca back, it would have been a waste of effort.
So I scared the class leader:
“I don’t care! If you don’t go faster, I’ll carry you!”
The class leader seed to be very scared of this proposal. She frowned, her face had an obstinate expression, and her pace imdiately increased.
She would twitch her brows with every step, it seems to be really painful.
It was hard to get out of the revolving door of the cafe. There was still so light rain outside, but compared to earlier, it’s like a clear sky.
I saw that the class leader’s foot had pretty much recovered, so I released her hand and walked into the rain.
She stared blankly, but my hair and shoulders were already wet, even if she gave the umbrella to now, it would be of no use.
“I’m going, this kind of light rain is fine for , class leader, you can go ho yourself!”
I turned around and waved my left hand as farewell.
“Ye Lin!”
The class leader shouted at , but hesitated for a while and seed like she did not know what to say.
“You... are you really going to hack people?”
I almost couldn’t help but laugh, she actually took the joke I told Xing Xing seriously.
But it doesn’t make much sense to explain it here. Anyway, I’m a violent person beyond redemption and I don’t intend to change the class leader’s impression of .
So I replied with my usual hoodlum tone:
“Yeah, for people in this line of work, if we don’t hack people for three days, our skills would go to waste, so I have to work hard and learn hard! Tomorrow, I’m going to take my younger brother to to collect protection fees! If I don’t collect any fees, how would I treat people to als?”
The class leader’s voice trembled:
“It turns out that you used money that you stole to pay for the al...”
Her tone was full of complaints as if I had poisoned her food.
I didn’t bother to talk to her again, I didn’t answer her, and walked away in the rain.
After walking for around ten steps, I heard the class leader’s screaming with resentnt:
“You bastard! I don’t care about you anymore! You should just die under soone else’s machete!”
You won’t care about anymore? Thank the heavens, hopefully you would do as you said.
I humd a tune and walked back ho in the light rain.
On Sunday, I was supposed to go and watch Ai Mi’s acting, but Peng TouSi called to inform in the morning that the shooting was cancelled because the rain destroyed the set.
Because she felt that the heavens were against her, Ai Mi had a tantrum and threw her teddy bears across the room. When Peng TouSi called , she was already sprawled on top of her bed, fast asleep.
I felt a bit regretful that I couldn’t watch them film, but there would be tons of opportunities in the future.
For students, weekends always feel short, and in the blink of an eye it was already Monday.
Because there was a flag raising ceremony, I wore my school uniform. Xiao Qin should also learn and wear her school uniform.
Although she wore her uniform, she arrived even later than .
Her face was gray like ash, holding her abdon as if she was shot, she greeted dispiritedly:
“Y-Ye Lin classmate, I was able to see you before I died, I have no more regrets...”
After she said that, she plopped onto her desk and did not get up for the first two classes.
I was wary of traps, so I didn’t talk to her.
She started reviving in the third class.
“Ye Lin classmate, did you know it rained on Saturday?”
“...”
“There was a lot of thunder!”
“...”
“I was worried about you, I called your ho, but no one answered. Why did you go out in the rain?”
When Xiao Qin called, I was out eating with the class leader, but I can’t tell her, or there’s no telling what she would do.
“Ye Lin classmate, you don’t want to go out during rainstorms, you would get killed by lightning!!”
Xiao Qin warned very seriously.
“What are you talking about! Why would I be killed! I haven’t done anything wrong!” (TN: A belief that you would be struck by lightning if you did sothing wrong, or have a guilty conscience)
I only ate a al with the class leader, and you are not even my girlfriend. Why do I feel like I’ve wronged you? Besides, that al did not improve the relationship between and the class leader! She’s still cold towards !
Xiao Qin said while drawing circles on her desk with her finger:
“Lightning is really scary. A friend of my grandfather was killed by lightning!”
“Eh? What happened?”
I was a bit curious, Auntie Ren was born in a martial arts family. Since Xiao Qin’s grandfather is the father of Auntie, was he also a martial arts master?
“Well... I heard my mother say that my grandfather’s friend was also a martial artist. He once made a bet with my grandfather that he’s faster than lightning. He walked outside holding a steel rod during a thunderstorm, the result was that he was killed by lightning...”
Damn it to hell! What kind of martial artist is this! It’s terrible being uneducated! Why did your grandfather not stop this friend of his? Doesn’t he know that a person can’t be faster than lightning?
“Xiao Qin, what kind of bet did he make with your grandfather? Why was he so desperate?”
“Well, it seems that if he escaped the lightning, then he would marry my grandfather’s daughter, so my mother...”
It turns out that this martial artist wanted to be your grandfather’s son-in-law! I can’t believe he asked his good friend for his daughter’s hand in marriage! Is he a lolicon? There were already lolicons in Xiao Qin’s grandfather’s generation!
Fortunately, he was killed by lightning. I don’t know how moronic Xiao Qin would have been if she was the daughter of that geezer!
As we talked, Xiao Qin’s expression beca more and more odd. Sotis it was of fear, and other tis it was of pain. As if an invisible person had stabbed her with a knife.
She trembled and the table shook along with her, and she started groaning as if she was going to die.
I could only watch from the sidelines as I did not know if she was really uncomfortable or just pretending.
Finally, she took a deep breath, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and laid down on the table, facing .
I couldn’t read the expression on Xiao Qin’s face. There was happiness, there was modesty, like she was secretly celebrating, but also like an imminent disaster.
She blushed and said to :
“Ye Lin classmate... from now on, I’m a real woman...”
