Tencent’s viral marketing was really amazing. Even a remote hot pot restaurant in the suburbs had a sign “eat hot pot, get five kills” billboard. The image next to the text was the LOL game character Caitlyn Kiramman.
After recalling the unpleasant memory revolving around Ai Mi’s bronze game, Xiong YaoYue went back to playing her PSP.
“It was hard to get this from my cousin, so I have to play as much as I can.”
The cla.s.s leader jotted down some of her thoughts on her phone, then after checking the schedule, she spoke to everyone on the bus about some things to keep in mind:
“We’re going to stay in a hotel next to a special education school, so we may see some students with disabilities nearby. No one is allowed to make any discriminatory remarks about them, or I won’t let you off easily, understand?”
“No way, who do you think we are?”
A certain loyal dog responded.
When she saw Zhuang Ni was asleep at the last row, the cla.s.s leader yelled:
“Zhuang Ni, you remember this too. If you dare say anything to the special education school students like how you mock the other students, I will definitely teach you a lesson.”
Zhuang Ni’s eyes that were under her closed eyelids moved a bit, but she didn’t say anything. Once the cla.s.s leader thinks that what she’s doing is “righteous”, then even if you are blackmailing her, she won’t budge. She will directly apprehend and then punish you.
The most common punishment seems to be ear pulling, which Xiong YaoYue has deep feelings about. She mocks herself by saying the cla.s.s leader is going to pull her ears and turn her into a dark elf.
If you’re afraid of getting your ears pulled, then stop always lifting Gong CaiCai’s skirt.
“Also.” The cla.s.s leader continued to announce, “We are moving as a cla.s.s on the trip, you’re not allowed to move by yourself…”
Eunuch Cao raised his hands: “Do we have to move together when we go to the washroom? Do we all go together or is there a girl willing to partner up with me?”
Before he finished speaking, four or five of the cla.s.s leader’s loyal dogs had already lifted him up and was planning on throwing him out the window. Eunuch Cao yelled out loud:
“Please spare my life! Master Ye, please come save your worthless disciple!”
Cold sweat erupted from the driver’s head as he witnessed the scene while talking to teacher Yu, then he asked:
“What’s wrong with your cla.s.s? Why do people keep trying to jump out, you better not have an accident on my bus!”
“Not a problem, don’t worry, my students are easy to handle.” Teacher Yu said happily since Shu Sha was here.
“Also.” After Eunuch Cao shut his mouth, the cla.s.s leader continued to speak, “Since our main area of activity will be in the mountains where there aren’t a lot of visitors, everyone will be prohibited from dangerous activities. No chasing each other and playing around, no swimming…”
“Huh.” Xiong YaoYue abruptly looked up from her PSP, “Why can’t we swim, that means I brought my swimsuit for nothing.”
Eunuch Cao couldn’t help mutter two words out: “For nothing…” before he was immediately stepped on by the loyal dogs.
A portion of the girls began to whisper. It seems they heard there were clear brooks on Cui Song Mountain, so they all brought their swimsuits and wanted to cool off in the summer heat.
Xiao Qin also said:
“Ye Lin cla.s.smate, I… I also brought my swimsuit. You have to watch me when I enter the water, watch my body closely… if I drown, then you have to save me and perform CPR!”
Stop spouting nonsense. Between the two of us, I’m the one who needs to be saved. I can’t swim, but you were always a swimmer since you were a kid. I don’t think it would even be difficult for you to swim with a dumbbell strapped to your back.
The girl sitting in front of Xiong YaoYue couldn’t open her bottle of cola, so she pa.s.sed the bottle to Xiong YaoYue and used her eyes to beg her to open it.
Who knew Xiong YaoYue would misunderstand. She received the bottle and easily opened the cap, then she took a gulp.
“Haah, just when I was thirsty. Thanks for giving me a drink.”
Who gave it to you? They only wanted you to help them open it.
The girl in front of her wanted to cry.
“What, do you want some too?” Xiong YaoYue, who still didn’t realize her mistake, pa.s.sed over the cola that she had drank a third of, “Then I’ll give you some, don’t be so polite.”
I think you were being way too impolite. And how did you forget you were asking the cla.s.s leader about the swimming issue so fast?
“Cla.s.s leader, it’s not easy finding a place to swim with a great view, it would be disappointing not being able to swim.”
Loud Mouth, who was eating popcorn, said, “I looked it up online and the brooks are the mountain aren’t deep at all. There are no issues playing in the water and cooling ourselves down.”
The cla.s.s leader wasn’t convinced, “Water and fire are merciless. There have been people who drowned in their bathtubs, let alone the outdoors.”
Eunuch Cao, who was still being stepped on, interjected: “In j.a.pan, over fifty percent of bathtub drowning cases were caused by S&M rope play, so everyone should be careful!”
Niu ShiLi rolled up his pant sleeves and pointed to his socks. Eunuch Cao finally quieted down after being afraid of having his mouth stuffed with smelly socks.
“Isn’t it fine if we designate a lifeguard?” Xiong YaoYue raised up the cola and suggested, “I’ll be the lifeguard, I won’t stand idle if I see someone in danger.”
“I’ll be thankful if you don’t cause any dangerous situations.” The cla.s.s leader sighed.
“Then let Ye Lin be the lifeguard since he’s tall and strong.” Xiong YaoYue pointed to me. It looks like she was determined to swim on the mountains.
Hey, I can’t swim. Designating a hammer as a lifeguard is like designating someone with Parkinson’s to control a nuclear launch b.u.t.ton, super unreliable.
But I was embarra.s.sed to admit I couldn’t swim in front of the cla.s.s. Men shouldn’t reveal their weaknesses, that’s the reason why men in general don’t like to ask for directions.
“Cla.s.s leader.” Xiao Qin raised her hand and said, “Ye Lin cla.s.smate is great at the b.r.e.a.s.t.stroke, so please appoint him as my personal lifeguard.”
Who’s great at the b.r.e.a.s.t.stroke? I did practice the dog paddle at home on my bed because you used to kick me into rivers all the time. I didn’t learn to dog paddle, but I did rip my bed sheets.
“Really?” The cla.s.s leader looked at me with a questioning gaze, “If someone fell into the water, can you go save them? I mean you’re also the temporary safety member anyway…”
No, I want to say if I went to the deep end to save someone, then there will be two people drowning, but I really don’t want to admit I can’t swim.
“Um…” I didn’t want to directly reject it, so I asked back, “Cla.s.s leader, you’re just as athletic as Xiong YaoYue, so why can’t you be the lifeguard?”
The cla.s.s leader’s face turned red.
Loud Mouth laughed and said from the last row: “You guys don’t know, but the cla.s.s leader’s swimming skills are mediocre, there’s no way she could be a lifeguard.”
Loud Mouth and the cla.s.s leader went to the same elementary school and she happily began speaking about her dark past.
“When we were in the first grade, the cla.s.s leader’s hair wasn’t as long as it is now, but it was still fairly long. When we were in a swimming cla.s.s during summer, when the cla.s.s leader entered the water, her hair would float up and spread out like a black cloud. It scared all the other kids, they all cried while yelling: water monster!”
Xiong YaoYue sprayed the cola that was in her mouth onto the head of the girl in front of her, then she smacked her shoulder and said:
“Hahahaha, that’s hilarious. Even the cla.s.s leader has these stories.”
Loud Mouth continued to speak: “Because she scared the other kids and was called a water monster every time she entered the water, she stopped practicing swimming.”
“She wouldn’t sink in a swimming pool, but she can’t really swim in an open body of water. It would be even more difficult for her to be a lifeguard.”
“Shu Sha, you actually have something you’re not good at?” Teacher Yu commented in surprise.
Do you think the cla.s.s leader is a robot who could do everything? All humans have weaknesses. Even a Spartan like me has has acrophobia and can’t swim, but I wouldn’t easily let others know.
But I was now looking forward to seeing the cla.s.s leader swim after I heard she couldn’t swim well.
People become timid when doing something they are not good at. If the cla.s.s leader enters the water, she may turn timid then slip on a rock and call for help.
If the water isn’t that deep, I can go and save her, even if she needs CPR…
Zhuang Ni woke up suddenly and stared straight ahead.
“Cla.s.s leader, when you’re swimming, make sure to partner up with Loud Mouth or you will be in danger.”
Loud Mouth asked curiously: “My swimming skills aren’t any better, so why are you expecting me to protect the cla.s.s leader?”
“You don’t have to be good at swimming.” Zhuang Ni said without doubt, “Since you have so much fat on your body, you will definitely float. You can act as a lifebuoy… no, a hovercraft.”
“Cla.s.s leader, in case there’s a flash flood, make sure to grab onto Loud Mouth tightly and ride her to someplace safe. Even if I die, you have to live on!”
“You just want to start something with me, right?” Loud Mouth grabbed a handful of popcorn and shoved it into Zhuang Ni’s mouth.
“b.i.t.c.h, I don’t believe I won’t be able to shut you up.”
Zhuang Ni immediately began to cough violently like she was going to cough out her lungs.
Loud Mouth frowned and temporarily stopped her force feeding plan. Zhuang Ni instantly recuperated and closed her eyes again to rest.
d.a.m.n, it seems like Zhuang Ni’s sickness is an active skill. She’s only sick when she needs it, how convenient.
