Chapter 105 – Extension of the Duel
I don’t know what Xiao Qin and the class leader were talking about, but it was probably something along the lines of “You must set up a correct mindset, proper values, and a proper worldview” or other useless lines. It’s useless lines that the head teacher always spouts when disciplining students.
Although it would sound more convincing coming from the class leader’s mouth, but for Xiao Qin, who peeked at H manga, it’s probably a waste of words.
However, after the class leader walked out of the bedroom, Xiao Qin followed obediently with an expression that showed she knew she was wrong.
Was it a success? Did the class leader use her exquisite sense of emotional control and integrity to correct Xiao Qin? No, if I thought about it carefully, even if America had no more shootings, or if India had no more rape cases, or if China had no more embezzlement, or if North Koreans had food to eat, Xiao Qin probably still wouldn’t turn over a new leaf and admit defeat.
The only possibility was that Xiao Qin remembered her ‘I’m an innocent and foolish girl’ plan. She probably realized that she came on too strong today in front of the class leader, so in order to prevent from becoming the antagonist, she decided to temporarily retreat from the plan.
It’s too late! You first broke the class leader’s shoe, then forced her to expose her breasts, and finally you even fabricated a super melodramatic story to earn the class leader’s sympathy… You did everything that an antagonist would do!
“Class leader, class leader! Will you force us to study tonight too? I’m tired (gt;_lt;)~~~~let us rest for a bit! Can we play some video games after Ye Lin classmate finishes watching the game?”
Acting spoiled and trying to be cute were methods that Xiao Qin learned from shoujo manga. It’s not only effective on me, it’s also effective on the class leader. After all, Shu Sha is quick to sympathize.
I wasn’t that interested in watching the China National Team lose again, I also wanted to play Xbox 360, so I started playing ‘Street Fighter 4’ with Xiao Qin.
The reason why I chose this game was because ‘Street Fighter 4’ also had a PC version. I have played it before in net cafes, so I’m not a complete beginner.
I never would have ever guessed that a girl could be this good at a fighting game.
Was it because of her natural talents as a martial artists, or was it because she’s been a boy for multiple years, or was it a bit of both?
I picked my usual character ‘Fei-Long‘, who was based on Bruce Lee, Xiao Qin chose her usual, ‘Cammy’, as my opponent.
The long legged girl with golden twin tails left the king of Jeet Kun Do completely helpless.
I lost 2-0 in 5 consecutive rounds.
I couldn’t endure my anger.
Don’t tell me that I can’t beat the Little Tyrant in real life, but I can’t even beat her in a fictional game?
When Xiao Qin saw my mood turn gloomy, she started to shake exaggeratedly.
“Not good! Ye Lin classmate is angry! I have to lose the next round!”
Don’t say what you’re thinking out loud! Are you trying to mock me or be considerate!
Since the class leader said she doesn’t really like playing games, she sat on the sofa behinds us while we sat cross-legged on the carpet mashing the controllers.
Perhaps it was boring, she took out a pack of seaweed from the bag of snacks I bought.
“This game is pretty violent…”
The class leader assessed while frowning after she saw my character launch three consecutive fireballs at Xiao Qin’s character.
Based on that statement, I know that the class leader doesn’t play much games, and she definitely doesn’t let her younger brother play games at home.
If you thought ‘Street Fighter 4’ was violent, how would you evaluate ‘Resident Evil’, ‘Grand Theft Auto’, ‘Prototype’, or ‘God of War’?
I sneaked a peek at the class leader. She had a proper sitting posture, her black eyes contained the reflection of the LCD screen. She seemed more like our guardian than our classmate.
But the seaweed crumbs that stuck to her lips ruined that illusion.
After all, she’s only 14. Regardless of how mature she tried to be, she can’t act the same as an adult.
It appears she likes seaweed, since she ate them one after another.
In this period of time, I was still beat down by Xiao Qin, I occasionally won a round because of luck.
Moreover, my attention was gradually distracted by the class leader.
Shu Sha probably thought that we wouldn’t notice her since she was sitting behind us. Her posture gradually started to loosen up and sometimes she would even lick the seaweed crumbs that stuck to her fingers.
There was a slightly big piece of seaweed that was stuck to the corner of her mouth.
She didn’t realize yet and she continued to watch us play with the piece stuck on her mouth.
I observed the class leader with my peripheral vision, I was a bit curious on when she would realize the seaweed was stuck on her face and what would she do? Based on her principles of not wasting food, she would probably lick it off and eat it.
But there’s a bit of distance! If she wants to lick it off, she has to extend her tongue straight out.
The school nurse, Chen YingRan, always does those kinds of crazy actions and my hairs would stand straight off my body every time I see. But it should be different if the pure class leader does it, right? Will it have a different feeling?
I realized that my desire to watch the class leader lick off the piece of seaweed already exceeded the desire to win in the game.
The result of dividing my attention was that I already lost to Xiao Qin for 10 rounds and the seaweed on the class leader’s mouth disappeared without a trace when I wasn’t paying attention.
I decided to focus all my attention on the game and finish a final match with Xiao Qin. Under my vicious attacks, I finally succeeded and won 1 round 2 – 1.
When ‘Fei-Long’ did his signature move next to ‘Cammy’, Xiao Qin threw down her controllers and rubbed her eyes while crying:
“Boohoo ~~~~(gt;_lt;)~~~~ I was defeated by Ye Lin classmate!”
When I looked through her bangs, I could see there wasn’t even a single drop of tears in her eyes, she had a crafty shimmer in her eye.
Did you deliberately lose to me? Damn you! I’m a man, I don’t need your sympathy!
I got fired up, I had to beat Xiao Qin in a few rounds, fair and square.
Later on, I had some wins and some losses, but I felt that Xiao Qin wasn’t using her full strength.
Occasionally, she would ask if the class leader wanted to play, but the class leader said she didn’t really know how to play and it was pretty interesting watching them play while eating snacks.
It became 9 o’clock without us realizing. Xiao Qin asked everyone if it was time to sleep, but I still had a lot of fighting spirit and didn’t let her go.
The class leader awkwardly said to Xiao Qin:
“Umm… I can’t sleep at night if I’m not wearing pajamas, do you have an extra pair? Can I borrow it?”
“Sure” Xiao Qin replied straightforwardly, “I have tons of pajamas that my mom bought for me sitting in my cabinet. I haven’t worn any of them, you can take which ever one you want!”
The class leader was puzzled, “Why haven’t you worn any?”
“Haha!” Xiao Qin used her finishing move to end my chance of victory, then replied:
“I’m the opposite of you. I can’t sleep if I’m wearing extra clothes, it’s a habit from childhood that I can’t change!”
The class leader seemed like she had something to say, but she considered my presence, then she awkwardly went to Xiao Qin’s bedroom to get a pair of pajamas.
I was suddenly aware of what Xiao Qin’s words meant. Xiao Qin said that she couldn’t sleep wearing clothes, doesn’t that mean she usually sleeps naked!?
Let’s say that she only wore underwear, but didn’t wear a bra, since it was a ‘habit from childhood’.
After she’s acted as a boy for multiple years, there’s probably no way she wears a bra when sleeping.
I can’t help but imagine Xiao Qin wearing nothing but a pair of underwear, sprawled out across her bed, then she kicks off her blankets in her dreams.
After borrowing the pajamas, the class leader washed up, said goodnight, and went to Auntie Ren’s room to rest.
I lowered the volume and planned to head to bed after one more round.
After the class leader left, Xiao Qin’s sleepy eyes immediately widened.
Like a cat that becomes a predator at night.
I knew something was wrong, so I hurriedly asked:
“Hey, you calculatingly asked the class leader to stay overnight, what do you want to do with her?”
Xiao Qin slightly tilted her head and laughed coldly.
“Actually, I want the class leader’s eyes…”
“You want to dig out the class leader’s eyes? You’re too cruel! Which shoujo manga taught you this! I’ll definitely break all relations with you if you did that!”
After seeing that I was this stirred up, a drop of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
“Who said I wanted to dig out the class leader’s eyes? How can the heroine do this kind of thing? It’s not a horror manga… I just want the class leader to personally confirm our relationship with her own eyes.”
“Confirm? How would she confirm that?”
After I asked, Xiao Qin only laughed. Her laugh made my blood run cold.
She continued to laugh, staring at me when I entered the bathroom to wash up, continued to stare at me when I walked back into the living room and until I walked into the room and locked the door. There was an obvious lock sound, then she closed the game and returned to her own room.
In order to prevent emergencies, I was lying with my clothes on and extremely careful.
I wasn’t sure if it was intentional, but there were two pillows prepared on the guest bed.
It was perfect for me, one was for sleeping, one for hugging.
Did Xiao Qin do some investigation beforehand? My sleep habits have probably long been recorded into her intelligence reports.
With the pillow as a companion, I became very relaxed and soon slipped into the land of dreams.
I don’t know how much time passed, I suddenly felt the mattress tremble slightly.
There was weight being added on other than mines.
By the faint moonlight that came in through the curtains, I saw a white hand touch my pillow.
What happened? I clearly locked the door! I even checked it three times!
Ah —— I’m so stupid, this is Xiao Qin’s home, there’s no way she won’t have the key.
This was premeditated.
I want to avoid, but the short-haired girl is blowing in my ear like a blue, this feeling of dampness is like an evil body-fixing technique, which makes me unable to move, and the heart jumps out uncontrollably.
“You… what do you want?”
I struggled to ask, but she sealed my mouth with one finger.
Her finger was much softer and cooler than my rough and scalding hot lips.
I look up her smooth arms and discovered her upper body was mostly bare, that slightly undulating bump was immoral and seductive.
As expected, Xiao Qin who never sleeps in pajamas, was only wearing a pair of aqua blue underwear.
The one that Shu Zhe stole from the class leader which was later snatched by Xiao Qin from my hands.
She looked more mature and more beautiful than usual bathed under the moonlight.
She smiled, lifted up my blankets, crawled in like a cat, and immediately hugged onto one of my arms.
The sensation on my arm was like feeling high quality silk.
“Hehe, I’m a bit nervous… but I don’t regret it.”
Her smiling voice spurred my fervent mind like ants.
“This underwear was the first gift that Ye Lin classmate gave me. I like it very much, but when I thought about it, I don’t have anything to give back. I could only use it as a gift wrap and offer myself…”
“Do you like it? You can do anything you want…”
“In any case, tomorrow morning, the class leader will know about our relationship…”
