“Master, you also came to sneak a peak?”
Someone said secretively from behind.
I looked around and who else could it be but Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao was behind me holding a micro camera. He had it facing outside of the thickets with a vulgar expression on his face.
“Are you trying to die?” I lowered my voice as much as possible and scolded him, “What do you think you will be able to catch on film by pointing the camera at the brook? Do you think girls will actually bathe here naked?”
I even thought the words coming out of my mouth were absurd. The cla.s.s leader was even against swimming outside, let alone bathing outside naked. The cla.s.s leader would have to be crazy to let someone bathe outside.
“Oh, as expected of Master who plans to bathe naked with all the girls in our cla.s.s. You’re in an entirely different realm than me, respect.”
Who wants to bathe with all the girls in the cla.s.s? Do you think we’re still in an autocratic monarchy and I’m the emperor or crown prince?
Eunuch Cao confessed:
“I’m hiding here because I realized when the girls squat down to wash their hands in the brook, they would occasionally reveal their waists… Confucius said: a beautiful person’s waist is better than the scenery. That’s why I’m here waiting to record those beautiful moments, so that I can let you, master, lay your dragon eyes on it…”
Are you talking about the Confucius that was acted by Donald Chow? Plus, my eyes are wolf eyes, not dragon eyes. If we’re going by the Chinese zodiac, it would be snake eyes, but the cla.s.s leader would have dragon eyes.
“Master, if you’re not interested in waists, I also have other options. Some girls wear their pants lower, so when they squat down, I got a shot of their b.u.t.tcrack…”
Whose b.u.t.tcrack did you get on film? Xiong YaoYue? She was just squatting here and drinking beer.
I wanted to seize Eunuch Cao’s camera, but I was afraid it would make too much noise and we would be heard.
The cla.s.s leader and Gong caiCai didn’t notice the conversation I had with Eunuch Cao due to the flowing water and the noise from the other students.
“Cai Cai, you don’t need to say anymore.”
The cla.s.s leader saw Gong CaiCai trembling with fear and struggling to say some secret about “Ye Lin and Winnie”. She thought she was pitiful and cute and instead started patting Gong CaiCai’s head to comfort her.
The short Gong CaiCai, standing in front of the tall Shu Sha, was like an elementary school student who lost her keys.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let Ye Lin or Winnie bully you. I think they were just trying to scare you with whatever they said, the two of them aren’t that bad…”
The two of us were never bad! What Gong CaiCai wants to say isn’t about me and Xiong YaoYue, but about the fact I was rubbing around with Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue kept it a secret.
Since Gong CaiCai saw the cla.s.s leader and me kiss (accident) first and saw me kiss Xiao Qin after, so that’s why she thinks I had a relationship with the cla.s.s leader first, then cheated on her with Xiao Qin.
In Gong Cai Cai’s conservative mind, although she wasn’t bad enough to think kissing leads to pregnancy, but the pure and innocent belief of “kissing → marriage → child birth” was deeply rooted in her mind.
If Gong CaiCai was accidentally kissed by a guy, she will think she can’t get married anymore from the bottom of her heart.
So, in essence, she believes it’s my fault the cla.s.s leader can’t get married anymore.
Of course, she saw me and Xiao Qin kiss, so she probably thinks Xiao Qin can’t get married either. But regardless, the cla.s.s leader was first and she always takes care of Gong CaiCai…
“Xiao Qin cla.s.smate always bullies me, so it’s her own fault she can’t get married…”
That’s how I imagine Gong CaiCai if she was evil. But Gong CaiCai is so innocent, so I don’t think she’s like that…
Although Gong CaiCai’s beliefs are wrong.
But it was a bit touching to see an innocent girl who would rather be killed than to keep the cla.s.s leader in the dark.
“It’s okay.” The cla.s.s leader continued to stroke Gong CaiCai’s hair, no different than how she would stroke a cat or a dog. It caused Obama to bark out of envy which almost caused Gong CaiCai to fall over from fright.
“The time when you saw me and Ye Lin in the cla.s.sroom…” the cla.s.s leader blushed when she thought back to the scene where we kissed, “It was an accident and didn’t mean anything. It’s fine if Ye Lin likes Xiong YaoYue or somebody else, it has nothing…”
She suddenly stopped and clenched on Obama’s leash tighter. After forcing herself to calm down, she continued to say: “Nothing to do with me…”
Even if she desperately tried to suppress her feelings, she just called Xiong YaoYue by her full name and not Winnie or Xiao Xiong. Which was something she would only do before when she was angry at Xiong YaoYue.
“Of course it has something to do with you!”
Gong CaiCai was stimulated by the cla.s.s leader’s heartbreaking expression and suddenly yelled out bravely:
“It’s Ye Lin’s fault you can’t get married anymore!”
The cla.s.s leader froze: “Why can’t I get married?”
“Because, because you…” Gong CaiCai pointed at her own mouth in a fl.u.s.ter, “Because he kissed you over here.”
“That happened?” Eunuch Cao’s ears perked up and he exhaled heavily from his nose, “Master, you sure move fast. You s.n.a.t.c.hed the cla.s.s leader’s first kiss so easily like taking candy from a baby. I hope you can be generous enough to teach your disciples a couple of your moves…”
I ignored Eunuch Cao and left him there rambling. But after the cla.s.s leader heard Gong CaiCai’s words, she wasn’t really sure how to react. She felt Gong CaiCai was making a big deal out of a small issue.
But after some more thought, maybe she thought about the time how I hugged her for a whole night, or when I mistook her for Shu Zhe and spanked her. She gradually became sadder then laughed at herself with a bitter smile and said:
“Perhaps, I really can’t get married anymore…”
“That’s right, so you have to make Ye Lin cla.s.smate take responsibility.”
Gong CaiCai had clenched her fists. Since she was nervous and riled up, her huge chests shook with her body.
“How would I make him take responsibility?”
Gong CaiCai’s childish suggestion made the cla.s.s leader want to laugh.
I’m not sure if it’s because of the Happy Science lessons, but Gong CaiCai brought out all her bravery today.
“If he did it, then he has to take responsibility… which of course means marrying you. If he doesn’t want to marry you, then he’s a bad guy. But he’s still a bad guy if he does marry you…”
It’s not because Gong CaiCai still has prejudices about me, but because she felt that if I married the cla.s.s leader, then I can’t marry Xiao Qin. That means in the end, it’s my fault a girl can’t get married, so I’m still a bad guy.
It looks like Gong CaiCai really doesn’t hold a grudge against Xiao Qin, she was actually feeling self-condemnation for not having the perfect solution to fix both problems.
“I… I’m not looking forward to that….”
The cla.s.s leader walked Obama a few steps closer to the brook. Her steps were getting larger (Gong CaiCai almost couldn’t keep up) and her voice was more emotional.
It was as if she had discovered an incredible whirlpool of emotions inside her. The whirlpool was devouring her confidence, courage, and principles. So much so that the cla.s.s leader became angry for no reason.
“He doesn’t really have any good qualities. He has meaning looking eyes and a bad temper, even my younger brother is better than him.”
“Although… he does help me wash the dishes after eating which is better than Xiao Zhe. He also won’t bully animals behind my back like Xiao Zhe…”
“But so what, that’s something any human can do.”
Hey, hey, cla.s.s leader, your logic is so messed up you’re say Shu Zhe isn’t a human! Not that I think there’s any wrong with that…
“He’s obviously not dumb, but he refuses to study properly. I told him to go to partic.i.p.ate in a Physics compet.i.tion and get a rank so it would help his grades, but he doesn’t listen at all.”
“I don’t care, I don’t care anymore. Why is it any of my business if he’s successful or not in the future. He says he likes doing physical labor, so let him do whatever he wants.”
“Woof.” It seems Obama was happy when she heard I was going to do physical labor.
Why are you so happy? If I’m actually going to do physical labor, I’ll borrow you from Ai Mi and make you pull the wheelbarrow to make you lose weight.
“Cla.s.s leader, cla.s.s leader, slow down, I can’t keep up.”
Gong CaiCai huffed and yelled out from behind.
The cla.s.s leader finally stopped and composed herself. She brushed her long hair behind her ears to organize her chaotic emotions.
Finally, she let out a long breath, and her tone was now serious as if she had become a uniformed policewoman.
“It’s not the time to be confused. It’s not the time to be hesitating. I have more important things to do in the future.”
She even used self-hypnosis.
“And… who would like that kind of person. Even if he kneels down and begs me, I…”
She bit her lips.
“… I still wouldn’t marry him.”
She said as she kicked a rock by her feet as hard as she could like it was my repulsive head.
The rock hit the water and bounced three times before it sank, creating small ripples on top of the brook.
Ripples of emotions also appeared inside me.
