Chapter 224 – Hair Problem
Through the mouths of Loud Mouth and Little Smart, the class leader quickly found out about my bet with Niu ShiLi.
“Ye Lin, I heard you were competing with Niu ShiLi and whoever scores the least points has to drink Fu Yan Jie?”
The class leader came over during the afternoon break and asked with an unimaginable expression.
“Hmph, I’m not competing with only Niu ShiLi.” I corrected, “I’m competing with everyone else on the team too!”
My snort was actually forcefully faked. The more Niu ShiLi and the others practice the less I want to laugh.
“One person against four?” The class leader flashed her bright black eyes, “Are you that confident? What happens if you lose?”
“Wahahahaha, how can I lose?”
Am I the only one with an unnatural expression in the classroom right now?
“An ordinary person can never surpass a genius regardless of how hard they work! Furthermore, I’m already past the point of genius! I… I’m basically a god! Those mortals will realize their foolishness as they hit a wall on their path to try and surpass a god! Then they will have to receive the wrath of the heavens and drink Fu Yan Jie!”
My arrogant words burst out from my chest with a rhythmic tone, it can even make a beast change their attitude. The class leader trembled before my mighty power and quickly kowtowed: “Mr. Ye Lin, I can’t believe I had the impertinence to question your ability as a mortal, it was presumptuous of me, please forgive me!”
You could probably already guess, the previous scene was only a part of my imagination. In reality, the class leader slightly closed her eyes and said as she looked down on me:
“Did you eat the wrong medicine?”
Huh? What’s with your attitude? Even if you don’t kneel and beg for mercy, you could at least say a few words of encouragement! I’m risking the chance of drinking Fu Yan Jie for the glory of class 2-3!
After hearing how I called myself a god and the other players as mortals, Niu ShiLi brought the other players to go and practice basketball and they discussed how they would make me lose as they walked out to the hallway.
“Ye Lin, you… have a white hair…”
I do not know why the class leader changed the topic, but it seemed she suddenly became uncomfortable.
So what if I have one strand of white hair? I originally already have oily hair and a lot of dandruff, and I usually don’t take care of it so it’s not strange to have white hairs from malnutrition. So what even if I got white hair from recent stressful events? A real man like me won’t bow down to anything. I’m the type who would tell the executioner a joke on top of the scaffold. Don’t expect me to show a miserable face even if the whole world decides to band together against a god like me.
The class leader did not care how my hair turned white, it seemed like the single white hair among a mass of black made her uncomfortable.
“You should pull out the white hair.”
The class leader said.
“Huh? Why would I pull it out just cause you told me to?”
“It’s only one hair, isn’t it fine if you pull it out!”
The class leader’s voice became more rushed and her face was slightly red.
At the start, I did not understand why the class leader was so focused on a single strand of hair, but to be honest, I liked seeing her anxious so I started to spout more nonsense:
“Do you not know the story from the Three Kingdoms? All parts of your body were passed down from your parents, you should not easily throw anything away! Even if it’s only a single strand of hair, you can’t just pull it out!”
“You’re just making excuses!” The class leader shouted, “It’s not like you’re from ancient times, do you not get your hair cut? Do you usually eat your fallen hair every time you get a haircut?”
The class leader was still staring at the white hair on my head as she spoke. It was as if it was a needle piercing into her skin.
I suddenly had a realization.
It’s the class leader’s OCD!
One of the main manifestations of OCD is to demand that things around you remain intact, in balance, and in symmetry. It must be because my white hair destroyed the overall balance, so the class leader cannot stand it!
Is it fine if I have two white hairs? If I had one strand of white hair on each side which kept the symmetry, the class leader would probably be satisfied even if others would think I look like a cricket. What kind of twisted sense of aesthetics do you have!
Also, why do I have to conform to your sense of aesthetics?
Thus I raised my left hand to check my watch. It was to signify to her that other than my white hair, there were many other places that were not symmetrical, for example, my right hand did not have a watch.
“Hmph, since the hair is growing on my head, I’m free to decide whether or not I want to pull it out. You have no right to decide it for me!”
“Why are you so narrow-minded!”
“Hey, why are you such a control freak? This is my hair, not yours. You can pull out your own hair whenever you want!”
The class leader stared at me with hate, “You can’t even pull out one hair yet you call yourself a god!”
Huh? What does pulling a hair have to do with anything?! I’ve never heard of Jesus pulling out his hair for his 12 disciples? Did Judas betray Jesus because he did not get his hair! According to your logic, Sun Wu Kong also became a god on his journey to the west?
“In any case, I’m not pulling it. Haven’t you heard the saying you can’t pull yourself out?”
“That’s not even an idiom.” The class leader looked at me with shining eyes after she corrected me and said: “If you’re not willing to pull it out yourself, then I could help you…”
Xiao Qin and Loud Mouth walked into the classroom right at this time. The class retracted her hand in embarrassment when she realized there were people behind her.
Then I heard Xiong YaoYue complain in a loud voice: The class leader did badly during our volleyball practice. She made a lot of mistakes she should not have and I had no idea what her mind was preoccupied with.
Many females students randomly guessed: “It must be love! Her mind is in a frenzy because she doesn’t know how to confess to the one she likes!”
The topic piqued the interests of nosy people, three to five female students gathered together and began to discuss quietly. Xiong YaoYue stood to the side impatiently and tossed a volleyball into the air.
“Hey, if you guys figure who the class leader likes, remember to tell me! I could help her send the love letter, and if he doesn’t agree, I’ll beat him until he does. I just want the class leader to return to her normal state as quickly as possible!”
Afterward, we were able to find an available music room so everyone ran there. I stayed back in the classroom to sleep since I was tone-deaf. Then I sat up and thought about if it would be better to spend my time managing the online store or practicing basketball.
It looks as if I was asleep but I was still awake. From the corners of my eyes, I could see a girl with long black hair quietly coming near me as if she was an assassin.
Isn’t this the class leader! Your current appearance is completely different than that of an honorable policewoman! Music class already started, why did you come back to class, what do you plan to do to me?
I was curious so I continued to pretend to be asleep. The class leader got closer and closer, then she looked around to see if anyone was around. Finally, she reached out her hand and wanted to pull out my white hair.
So she came for my white hair!
