Chapter 126 – Competitor
When Eunuch Cao heard that I was going to make an order of banning the PS photos, he looked as if I wanted his life.
“Master, I could stop making photos of the class leader, but the other girls…”
I did a throat slice action on my neck.
“Why, master? Why are you depriving me of my only pleasure!”
Eunuch Cao disregarded the eyes of onlookers, he kneeled down in the playground and hugged my thighs.
I did not budge, my expression meant it was nonnegotiable.
Eunuch Cao’s face expressed that he felt wronged:
“Master, if you have to do this, I cannot disobey the master’s orders, but… you should at least let me marry your daughter?”
Who the fuck has a daughter!
“Master, if you don’t promise me, I won’t get up! Hurry up and promise to let me marry your daughter!”
I snorted: “I look fierce, even if I had a daughter, there’s a good chance she would be a dinosaur (TN: slang for ugly), are you not afraid of being a dragon knight?”
Eunuch Cao raised his head and looked at me while kowtowing. Between layers of his oily fat, he had two unyielding beady eyes.
“No! Last time, when Uncle Ye came to my house to attend the secret meeting, I’ve seen a picture of you from your childhood —— there’s nothing wrong with your genes! As long as the mother is also a beautiful woman, the daughter would definitely be an exceeding beauty. Father-in-law, please accept me!”
Really dad, why would you bring a photo of me as a child when going to the HHH club? In addition, when you guys collectively watched AV films, Eunuch Cao was actually present… Involving minors in obscene activities, if you were caught by the police it would be a heavy sentence!
I ignored Eunuch Cao’s request and forced my thigh to move forward one step.
Eunuch Cao was like a dog, he did not loosen his grip on my thighs and was dragged a couple of centimeters against the floor of the concrete field.
A few busybodies started to quietly chatter from off in the distance:
“There were rumors that Ye Lin was gay. Is it true?”
“Not completely, I heard that last week he was still standing in the hallway and staring at the girls going past! My guess is that he is bisexual, he takes both men and women!”
“Shhh, lower your voices! What if he hears you, he might come over and burst your chrysanthemums!”
Fuck, who was the one who spread that rumor! It must have been that peaked cap guy! A bunch of hoodlums whose boss started stealing underwear after retiring, and you accuse me of being gay! At least being gay is not against the law!
I can’t let Eunuch Cao be on my feet, it will cause more rumors.
So I pretended to accept: “Well, if I have a daughter, and she has no boyfriend at 18. If you are not married, I will introduce her to you.”
“Really!?” Eunuch Cao was excited to the point his voice shook.
His shocked and tearful stupid look was laughable.
“Well, I’m not lying, you can let go now.”
That being said, this possibility was extremely small! I’m so Spartan, I don’t have any plans to get married at all. If I do get married, I will have a son! In the event of a daughter, I will find an acceptable person for her before she is 18 years old. Who in the world would marry their daughter to a big loss like Cao JingShen!
Eunuch Cao wiped his tears, stood up from the ground and patted the dirt off his clothes.
“So, you’re not making a photo to trick Li ErLeng either, right?”
I nodded. If Li ErLeng comes looking for me in a week, I will meet him on the battlefield. It would save more troubles in the long run.
As for the photos currently in circulation, I asked Eunuch Cao to tell his customers: If you are willing to return the photos, then I will buy them back at the original price. If they don’t want to, they have to keep it hidden at home. If they accidentally let the photos be exposed, I will beat them into a photo!
In the afternoon, 14 photos were returned, about half of them were Shu Sha.
I burned these photos in the boiler room behind the school.
However, in terms of pure art, I have reviewed each of them, and the PS skills are not bad. It might be able to almost pass the entrance exam of Lanxiang Technical School.
I gave Eunuch Cao all the money I had on me, and let him use the money to buy back the photos. If it was not enough, I would take care of it tomorrow.
Eunuch Cao firmly refused to accept: “How can I accept the money of my father-in-law? Originally, my PS photos were for my own interests. If they were willing to pay for it, it was a nod to my technical skills. Now I’m only returning the money I accepted!”
I forced the money to him and told him that money was not a problem. The most important thing was to try to get all the photos that were sold.
In fact, I don’t have much of an allowance. If it was absolutely necessary, I can only use Ai Mi’s credit card, but I would return it in the future.
No, after thinking about it, I don’t want to owe Ai Mi anything. If I had to choose, I would rather owe Xiao Qin.
So the next lesson I said to Xiao Qin: “Can you lend me 3,900 dollars?” (TN: Approx ~$580 USD)
Xiao Qin initially had a happy expression on her face, but later she felt a bit awkward.
“Uhmm… Ye Lin classmate, I don’t have that much money, but I can try to ask my mother for it! If I act coquettishly, my mother might give it to me! But… why not $4,000, but $3,900?”
Nonsense! It’s because it’s the salary that I should have gave you for helping Ai Mi copy the Bible! Since I used 100 dollars to buy underwear for you, there’s only $3,900 left!
“No, Xiao Qin, you can’t tell Auntie Ren, as long as you nod your head, the money will be considered as lent to me.”
“Huh? Ye Lin classmate’s words makes no sense…”
“You just need to nod your head. I will return it to you later. Don’t ask for specific details!”
Xiao Qin was baffled by my words, and finally nodded.
I was a little relieved, this way, I would have enough funds to buy back the photos.
Although it was more convenient to use violence, but firstly my arm was injured. Secondly, dissatisfied customers might have privately left copies and start distributing copies. Although it does not necessarily eliminate the hidden dangers, it’s currently the best choice.
During the break between classes, Xiao Qin said that it was time to change the medicine for my arm. She took gauze and ointment from her bag and moved the stool next to me, then she skillfully removed the splint.
The sky was a bit dark outside, so there were not many activities you could do outside. Most of the students were sitting in the classroom chatting.
They were surprised to see Xiao Qin giving me medical treatment in public.
“Hey, why doesn’t Ye Lin let the doctor do that, why does he let Xiao Qin do it?”
“Do you still have to ask? To show his stuff! He usually bullies her, but even when he’s injured he still makes her take care of him, outrageous!”
“Is that right? I heard that Xiao Qin is Ye Lin’s childhood friend. If one of them is sick, isn’t it normal to take care of the other?”
“Huh? Speaking of sick, if someone in the class is sick. Shouldn’t the life skills committee member help get the medicine?”
“Who is the life skills committee member of our class? Ah, Gong CaiCai! Isn’t this something you should do?”
The busybody smirked while patting the back of Gong Caicai.
Gong Caicai was originally concentrating on writing homework, when she suddenly heard that she had to change medicine for a demon, her face lost all its color and it seemed she was going to cry.
“I… I can’t cure a fracture! If I hurt him, I’m dead! I, I don’t want to be a life skills committee member anymore~~~~”
The class leader passed by her at the right time, spoke a few words and finally calmed her down.
The class leader walked over from the front row and watched Xiao Qin help me change the medicine.
Xiao Qin concentrated on her mind and seemed to rule out all the distracting thoughts. Her hands were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it felt just right, and it didn’t hurt at all. It felt so comfortable I almost fell asleep.
It seems that my left arm was the only thing left in her world, I could also calm down and observe Xiao Qin’s face from a very close distance.
Her gentle gaze lowered, rosy cheeks like an apple under the sun, and a slight smile as if working for me was a kind of reward.
Those who don’t know the inside story would think that Xiao Qin was a nurse and that she has always been caring for patients since she was born.
The class leader was surprised that Xiao Qin was so skilled.
“I wanted to give you a hand, but now it seems that I would just be giving you trouble.”
The class leader promised Gong CaiCai to take care of me for her, so she would not cry? The class leader is basically a big nanny! No wonder the classmates can’t even remember who is the life skills committee member!
This week passed peacefully.
On the weekend, Xiao Qin proposed to come to my house to take care of me. I did not agree.
“Why don’t you agree! It’s very inconvenient with only one arm! Don’t you want someone to help you scrub your back when you’re in the shower?”
“Hey, can’t you be a little more self-aware? My dad is home!”
“Uhh… what about shampooing? Washing your hair is also very inconvenient! Uncle Ye is not good at shampooing! Let me help you wash it!”
Xiao Qin wasn’t wrong, since I was a child, I often saw my father with crow’s nest hair. He washed my head pretty seriously these two days.
“No! How would I introduce you to my father! How can I let a female classmate come home to wash my hair!”
Xiao Qin put a finger on her mouth and thought for a while.
“If Ye Lin classmate is shy, don’t say that I’m a female classmate, just say that you paid a shampoo girl to wash your hair!”
Screw shampoo girl! Do you really not know or are you faking? That name has been ruined by illegally operated massage houses and shampoo rooms! If I said that to my father, he would think that I hired a prostitute!
For students, the weekend was always so short.
It felt like nothing happened and it was Monday again.
Although my arm has improved, I still couldn’t use force.
If Li ErLeng came looking for me, I can only fight with one arm.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Cao came to see me during lunch break. His face looked serious almost as if he wasn’t the same person.
“Master, I encountered something strange, I have to tell you in advance.”
“Eh? How strange? Were you abducted by aliens?”
“It’s stranger than that… Master, after I’ve finished, someone else started selling the class leader’s photos!”
I was shocked.
Did Shu Zhe already give medicine to his sister and violated the human code of conducts?
After a bit of shock, I asked Eunuch Cao where this news came from.
