The cla.s.s leader took a step back with embarra.s.sment after being accused by Ai Mi of molesting me and defended herself by saying, “I, I was only playing around with Ye Lin.”
Eh, cla.s.s leader, do you also play around when you’re so serious? You were playing around and deleted your confession text message, how about you play around and confess to me again?
“I won’t allow you to play around with the manservant.” Ai Mi rushed over because I was in front of her and the bodyguards were behind her, then she made a shooing motion like she was chasing a chicken away.
“Go away, you shameless vixen.” Ai Mi said a series difficult tenth level Chinese vocabulary. The cla.s.s leader felt wronged, but also thought that children’s words carried no harm, so she was not going to lower herself to Ai Mi’s level.
“Anyway, go back to the table.” The cla.s.s leader left after saying those words and returned first.
Nothing memorable really happened afterwards at the dinner table. Since it was summer, Eunuch Cao’s solar charger can also be charged indoors, so I charged my phone to over a third of its capacity and I also received a call from the five tigers checking up on me.
Captain Guo SongTao, who got the news from Shen ShaoYi, also asked how I was doing. After finding out that I was okay, he said I was bound to have good fortune since I was able to survive a catastrophe.
Bro Gang was at an amus.e.m.e.nt park with his girlfriend, but when he heard I was in an accident, he immediately gave me a call. He only sighed a breath of relief when he heard that I have already been rescued.
His girlfriend, who was listening from the side, misunderstood and thought bro Gang was still in touch with the bad friends he made in his past. She complained a bit in discontent and he actually yelled at her because of me.
“Please don’t fight.” I quickly persuaded bro Gang, “Your girlfriend told you to leave the underworld for your own good. Also, bro Gang, the first words you said were ‘who hurt you, I’ll get revenge for you’, so there’s no way she wouldn’t misunderstand and think I was injured in a fight.”
At the end of the celebration feast, everyone was full and drunk, even the cla.s.s leader ate more than usual.
On one hand, it was because the food was delicious. On the other hand, she was finally free from the burden of the “confession text message”, so she was reborn and her appet.i.te increased.
She also held a grudge against me for deliberately pretending to have read the text message and teasing her about it.
After helping me bandage the scratch on the back of my hand, she was indifferent towards me and even when she spoke to me, it was asking me about my recovery.
Next, the cla.s.s leader began to worry about how to send the rest of the students home. The route 23 bus only runs once every two hours. It was about noon, so if we wanted to take the route 23, we would have to wait until at least 1:30pm.
Peng TouSi said he could send everyone back to the city with the various cars they arrived in. The science fiction enthusiast, Niu ShiLi, had been curious about the Batmobile. He couldn’t control his excitement when he heard that he had the opportunity to ride it once in person and stopped arguing with Winnie.
“Tsk, you can’t win in an argument with me, so I win, right?” Winnie was so proud and held her nose high up in the sky.
After making arrangements for everyone, the cla.s.s leader told me she was a little worried about Shu Zhe, who had gone to live temporarily at his aunt’s house. She went back with the fleet of cars and she told me to pay attention to my health.
Of course, she tried to be as nonchalant as possible, as if she was deliberately unwilling to show too much concern.
Cla.s.s leader, are you trying to draw a line between us? Is it because you gave off the impression that you cared too much about me in the search and rescue process, so now you want to remedy the situation, right?
Anyway, the text messages were already deleted, so you already regained your freedom!
I didn’t leave with the cla.s.s leader and the others because Dr. Yu still had to give me a checkup, and my dad, Auntie Ren, and Xiao Qin were also still here.
Winnie didn’t leave with the cla.s.s leader either, she ran to the kitchen to chat with the French chef. I say chat, but she didn’t speak French, she was basically gesturing with her hands, trying to figure out when he would make the afternoon tea and snacks.
Ai Mi couldn’t stop hiccuping after drinking a large bottle of c.o.ke. I patted her back, but it had no effect, neither did scaring her. Obama came to join in on the fun and mimicked his owner’s hiccups with his barks and it was like they were having a hiccup duet.
I advised Ai Mi to not lie down on the waterbed or the hiccups would worsen. So five minutes later, Ai Mi took Obama and joined me for a walk in front of the attached hospital.
Not surprisingly, we ran into Xiao Qin.
“Ah, violent girl.” Ai Mi subconsciously tugged on the leash, “Obama, if she attacks us, hic, bite her.”
Obama shook his head desperately as if to indicate that such a command was beyond his ability.
“Oh, it’s Ye Lin cla.s.smate and Ai Mi.” We were greeted by Xiao Qin, who had tear marks at the corners of her eyes. She had just cried because of her mother.
“Hiccup…” Ai Mi tried to say something but only a hiccup came out.
“Hahhhwooo…” Obama imitated his master and made a sound similar to a hiccup.
Xiao Qin was amused by them, “What’s wrong with you two…”
I shrugged, “Ai Mi drank too much c.o.ke, Obama is imitating her.”
“If you have the hiccups, I’ve heard that a scare will do the trick.” Xiao Qin came up with an idea, “Why don’t we kill Obama and eat his meat…”
Obama immediately shut his mouth and stopped imitating hiccups, what a quick response.
The problem isn’t Obama, Ai Mi is the one who can’t stop hiccuping.
Hearing that Xiao Qin was going to kill her dog, Ai Mi glared at Xiao Qin angrily, but her hiccups still didn’t stop. The periodic sound of hiccups that appeared ruined the solemn atmosphere.
“I wanted to make peace with you for the time being because I heard that you saved the manservant, but in the end… hic.”
“I did not save Ye Lin cla.s.smate.” Xiao Qin looked up at the clouds in the sky, “If you think about it carefully, without me, Ye Lin cla.s.smate may have even been saved quicker. I was the one who almost harmed Ye Lin cla.s.smate, at best I only saved myself…”
These somewhat sad words made Ai Mi very uncomfortable.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you, you’re not acting like usual. Are you up to something? Hic.”
“It’s nothing.” Xiao Qin ruffled the bangs in front of her forehead and said somewhat miserably, “Anyway, I’m no longer Ye Lin’s…”
I suddenly made a connection and took a step forward to stop Xiao Qin from finishing the sentence.
What Xiao Qin wanted to say was, of course, “I’m not Ye Lin’s girlfriend anymore.”
How would Ai Mi react to this news?
It definitely would not be “I sympathize” or “I am sorry for your loss”, but rather “I am overjoyed”.
“I already told you that the manservant was playing around, right?”
“He’s only playing with your feelings by making you his girlfriend.”
“The manservant doesn’t like you, I’m enough.”
“Now, you’re not even his nominal girlfriend, so get lost.”
Ai Mi, who was extremely inconsiderate of others’ feelings, might say something along those lines.
Xiao Qin was already blaming herself and feeling sad, so she wouldn’t be able to stand it if Ai Mi humiliated her.
So I stood next to Xiao Qin, then faced Ai Mi and Obama.
“I have a good relationship with Xiao Qin, she… she may become your relative sometime, so show her some respect.”
What I mean is: Auntie Ren might marry my dad, then Xiao Qin will become my step-sister. Thus, Xiao Qin will also become Ai Mi’s step-sister.
But that’s not what Xiao Qin and Ai Mi were thinking.
The fact that I stopped her from revealing that she was no longer my girlfriend in front of my sister, and that I was going to make her “Ai Mi’s relative”, transformed Xiao Qin’s expression from disbelief to ecstasy.
She must have mistakenly thought that I was going to turn her into Ai Mi’s “sister-in-law” ah.
Although I demoted her back to a childhood friend, I also promised to give her a second chance, so Xiao Qin probably feels there’s a good chance of her making a comeback.
Ai Mi, was of course very angry, why can she be my sister-in-law? What sister-in-law? I could be my own sister-in-law.
“I won’t acknowledge her.” Ai Mi gasped, “I won’t allow you to bring this kind of woman into our home, hic.”
Hey, you sound like my mother. It’s fine if you’re just my sister, why do you have to mind your brother’s business.
“Um… lil sis Ai Mi, I will be good to you.” Xiao Qin could not suppress the sweet smile that appeared on her face. She bowed to Ai Mi, which seems to indicate “please take care of me in the future”.
“Who are you calling sis?” Ai Mi said fiercely, “Stay away from my brother, hic.”
Ai Mi tried to pounce on me to grab one of my arms, but I felt that the advantages of having Xiao Qin continue to act as my girlfriend in front of Ai Mi outweighed the disadvantages. I went ahead and put my arm in a position that was convenient for Xiao Qin to hug, and gave her a wink.
Xiao Qin had a look of distress but after a second of hesitation, she put her arm around me. We played the role of a loving couple in front of Ai Mi and it made her mad.
“You, you…” Ai Mi stomped her feet and cursed, “You cheaters.”
“Who dares to scold my granddaughter.”
An old but ample voice came from behind.
Eh, what a familiar voice, I turned around and looked.
A dark purple kung fu shirt, a long white beard, shining shining, and his hands behind his back.
Isn’t that gramps Ren, who taught me Yin Yang Sanshou. Also, Auntie Ren’s father, or Xiao Qin’s grandfather.
He knew my name and my dad’s relationship with Auntie Ren, but he doesn’t know about my relationship with Xiao Qin.
Now that Xiao Qin was holding my arm, we would look like a couple to anyone.
