Chapter 113 – The Injured Help Seeker
I won’t be tricked by Xiao Qin.
Even if I was your boyfriend, you don’t have to show me every single piece of new clothing you buy, right? Especially your underwear.
Ever since I had that nightmare of being caught in the act by Auntie Ren, I’ve been especially scared of going to Xiao Qin’s house alone.
That residential area hidden in the depths of the lilac bushes is now nothing other than a tiger’s den to me.
No matter how you think about it, someone’s life would be in danger by sending Xiao Qin home.
So I rejected her without any discussion and threw her bag to her.
Xiao Qin carried a shopping bag and her backpack in the other hand and lowered her head dejectedly.
But she hasn’t completely given up yet, she looked at me with a pleading gaze.
“Stop looking! I was forced to accompany you to buy things! We should be even now, right? You won’t bother me later about you having the same model of underwear as the class leader, right?”
Xiao Qin blinked, then suddenly nodded her head vigorously as if she understood something.
“I won’t mention the stuff about the underwear again. Even if the class leader’s underwear was a gift from Ye Lin classmate, I won’t mention it. I’ve already said that I won’t interfere with Ye Lin classmate’s freedom in interacting with others, but I just can’t help myself…”
Her apology was sincere, so I crossed my arms in front of my chest and reluctantly grunted to express my acknowledgment.
“B-but…” Xiao Qin said as she shook her head, “We’re not even!”
I frowned and waited for her to continue.
“Today was all my fault! I knew that Ye Lin classmate was accommodating me! Is it because I was sick a few days ago? When you came to my house on the weekend, I noticed that Ye Lin classmate’s attitude towards me was gentler than usual…”
Gentle your sister! Is my attitude towards you usually gentle? Which country’s dictionary is your definition of “gentleness” from?
“I was wrapped up by Ye Lin classmates kindness without warning, ended up intoxicated in it, and got carried away… In order to enjoy a little more of that gentleness, I can\t believe I actually coerced you, I really deserve to die…”
“In the underwear store as well… I just wanted to be Ye Lin classmate’s girlfriend, even if it was just the salesperson who knew, even just for an hour… So, if I made Ye Lin classmate feel uncomfortable, please forgive me!”
She immediately lowered her head deeply and apologized to me again.
“Forget about it.” I waved my hand to show her not to worry about it. I did indeed treat her unreasonable requests more leniently because of her menstrual pains.
“Ye Lin classmate…” Xiao Qin stammered, “You feel uncomfortable with the relationship between us, right?”
Speaking of uncomfortable, it is a bit uncomfortable.
“Ye Lin classmate doesn’t like aggressive girls, right?”
Eh? Where did that come from?
“Because, when I was bullying you when we were young, you never ever said that you liked me…”
Xiao Qin said as she squirmed around, her face was like a ripe apple, she probably wouldn’t even be as embarrassed if she was asked to streak naked in public.
Eh? Is this period of history so embarrassing for you? Was it a young girl’s shameful memory that you can’t bear to recollect? Is it like standing in the first row of the campus choir and having your underwear exposed to everybody because your skirt fell off.
As for me, that period of time was when I dragged my tattered body home every dusk, lied to my old man that I fell, and then hid in my room full of hate!
How could I say that I liked you under those circumstances?
The most important thing was: During that time, whether in gesture or appearances, you were 100% a, boy!
If I shamelessly told a boy that gave me a big fat beating that I liked him, am I a pervert!
Seeing my complexion becoming more unsightly, Xiao Qin’s body trembled.
“I-I’m sorry, I made Ye Lin classmate remember unpleasant things. I won’t be aggressive anymore in the future. If Ye Lin classmate is still angry, please continue to bully me…”
Having said that, she seems to have regained her confidence.
“Anything, as long as Ye Lin classmate can think of it, please don’t hold back, please impose it on me!”
“Please don’t worry about my menstrual pains, when that time comes, I won’t come to class, so that a time where Ye Lin classmate can see me yet can’t bully me won’t happen, how uncomfortable must that be!”
Her tone was in complete consideration for me, she completely disregarded herself as a living thing with human rights.
“Hey, do you think it’s fun getting bullied? Under normal circumstances, isn’t the normal reaction to ask someone not to bully you?”
After listening to what I said, it felt like Xiao Qin was about to cry.
“But, but… Ye Lin classmate doesn’t like me, if you don’t even do things like bullying me, won’t we have nothing left?”
“No matter what the future holds, the only thing I don’t want is to become someone who has nothing to do with Ye Lin classmate, so it doesn’t matter even if you always bully me, just please don’t drive me away and let me stay by your side!”
Those words were strangely pitiful, but I was still skeptical.
“For real?”
Xiao Qin forcefully nodded her head.
“When you say bullying, does that also mean you’ll listen to my orders?”
“Yes, I will unflinchingly execute Ye Lin classmate’s orders, just as if I was part of Ye Lin classmate’s body! Otherwise, I’ll go to a tattoo shop right now and get Ye Lin classmate’s name tattooed on my back!”
“W-why tattoo my name?”
“Of course it’s for me to declare that I’m Ye Lin classmate’s possession! Ye Lin classmate can do whatever he likes to me, but others can’t! In case I get lost and get found by a good-hearted person, they can rely on this tattoo, and return me to Ye Lin classmate!”
Do you think that you are a wallet! Moreover, 28 Middle’s School Regulations expressly stipulates that tattoos are not allowed! Do you also want me to get admonished?
“That, if Ye Lin classmate does not like a girl with tattoos, I won’t do it… but for Ye Lin classmate, don’t even mention school rules, I’m not even afraid of breaking the law!”
“If Ye Lin classmate asked me to go rob a bank, I will immediately wear my mother’s stockings on my head and go rob the bank with the most money!”
Hey, can you not talk about stuff like robbing a bank with such a serious expression, even the security guard is watching us!
Also, do you not have any stockings? Why do you have to wear Auntie Ren’s stockings to rob a bank? With a daughter like you, Auntie Ren’s reputation was destroyed in an instant!
I took a breath and just as I was about to speak, Xiao Qin hurried and said:
“T-these several days Ye Lin classmate has been so accommodating to me, I’m already content! Please bully me as usual! Please don’t be merciful! No matter how cruel and tyrannical, as long as Ye Lin classmate wishes so, I will endure it… No, I will gladly accept it!”
She looked at my eyes, sweetness within distress, expectation within fear, it was like she was devoting her pain to make me feel happy which would, in turn, make her feel happy.
I don’t know what kind of delusions she was having, but her expression was strange and the corner of her lips was lifted up. Even if I didn’t reach out to touch her forehead, I knew that her entire face was hot.
“Ye, Ye Lin, classmate, how about today…”
“No!” No matter what she was going to say, I interrupted her immediately.
“Didn’t you just say that you’ll listen to my orders? Then I’ll order you now: Go home immediately! You’re not allowed to let your imaginations run! You’re not allowed to ask someone to accompany you! You’re not allowed to ask questions!”
Xiao Qin made a sorrowful whimper sound, reluctantly turned around and walked towards the subway station.
After parting with Xiao Qin, I, of course, walked home alone.
I walked very slowly. When I saw someone selling an egg sandwich, I thought about whether I should buy some for my dad. Even if they were selling flashlights, I squatted down to have a look.
I didn’t even get to the end of the street after 10 minutes.
It was probably because I had something on my mind.
Since even Xiao Qin herself told me not to hold back and bully her, I should be able to implement the “womanizer” plan that I formulated earlier.
If I don’t steel myself and use a fiendish method, I will never be able to get rid of her.
As I was thinking about that, I suddenly saw the people on the street separate to two sides, and a person with a bloodstained face was wailing while running towards me.
“Brother Ye! Thaht’s great, you haben’t gone far yet! Shomething tewwible happeendth!”
Eh? Isn’t this the boss of the Five Tiger Punishment Squad, Xing Xing? I just haven’t seen you for 10 minutes. How did you end up in this miserable state?
One eye was swollen to the point where he couldn’t even open it, making half of his face higher than the other half, even more ugly than usual. The brand-name clothes on his body also became dirty and tattered, as if he was tied to the rear bumper of a car and dragged for a kilometer. He spoke with whistling sounds because the incisor he mended was knocked out again. His mouth was full of blood, tears, and snot running all over, no need to mention how pitiful he looked.
“What happened? Did you meet an enemy? Why are you the only one here? How many people are there?”
I supported him into a small alley so people wouldn’t surround us and asked in succession.
“Brother Ye…” Xing Xing couldn’t speak, his eyes flipped and he almost passed out. I wrinkled my brows and smacked him as gently as possible to wake him up and then passed over the mineral water I bought earlier for him to moisten his throat.”
“Brother, Ye, we really are sorry. They all say that there are no weak soldiers under a good general, but we brothers, we’re really finished this time!”
Xing Xing started crying after he drank the water.
“Stop wasting time! How many people are there on the other side! What about the rest of the brothers?”
I looked down upon the Five Tiger Punishment Squad’s criminal-like behavior, but I couldn’t leave them alone.
Xing Xing looked up at me with a sullen face, “Brother Ye, the opponent is alone, and it’s a woman…”
“Ah? Are you guys really this rubbish? Even a woman…”
After speaking halfway, I had a bad feeling.
“I say, don’t tell me you guys provoked my classmate, Ren XiaoQin?”
It was like he was stabbed in his hurt spot, and revealed a regretful expression.
“Big Brother Ye, I, we saw you and that Ren girl through the revolving door of the department store. Although we couldn’t hear what you said, you looked very annoyed, so I thought that Ren XiaoQin was pestering you…”
He wasn’t wrong to think that, Xiao Qin has been pestering me, and I have been troubled by it.
“At the time I told my brothers: Did you see that! When Brother Ye was chasing her, she wasn’t willing. Now that Brother Ye has that international level Miss Ai Mi’er, she becomes annoying! We have to teach her a lesson!”
Who has that kind of relationship with Ai Mi! Also, just based on you guys, aren’t you just courting death by troubling Xiao Qin?
“A-actually we had no plans to do anything to Xiao Qin, we wanted to bring her somewhere alone to scare her and to stop bothering you. But, but… at first, it seemed like she was kind of scared of us, but after that, she suddenly transformed!”
“Hey, hey, can you use words I can understand, what do you mean by transformed?”
“I, I don’t have a better way of describing it, it’s like she became a different person! Before I even got a good look, all of us were beat down! I was only luckily able to escape and come find you for help because they held onto her legs.”
“Anyways, please hurry and save us! Brother Ye, our brothers would be finished by Xiao Qin if we go any later! Her eyes were so scary! Thank god I used the bathroom earlier, if not I would have pissed my pants!”
