Chapter 462 – Leave It For Later
Chapter 462 – Leave It For Later
I was torn up from not getting a reply for my confession from the class leader, then I saw Gong CaiCai wearing her backpack and walking towards the school entrance in small strides.
It was like the class leader saw her savior as she ran to Gong CaiCai and said:
“Cai Cai, there were two parts in the English comprehension homework I didn’t understand, can you help me.”
Gong CaiCai said with astonishment: “Class leader, your English grades are better than mines. I was the one who always asked you for help before.”
The class leader said awkwardly: “Well… I suddenly don’t get it today, help me out. We could just chat too.”
Unbeknownst to me, the class leader and Gong CaiCai had already walked 5 meters away from me.
Gong CaiCai noticed there was something strange between me and the class leader. She couldn’t help but sneak a glance at me with timidity and curiosity, but quickly withdrew her gaze and trembled with her head lowered when I noticed her.
In the classroom, I saw Xiao Qin intently reading a book.
Of course, it wasn’t a textbook but an outside book. It seemed to be called ‘Dating Classics’ and it was a book to teach people on how to make romantic dates. Xiao Qin hid the book behind a cover with the title ‘Moral Education’ to hide what she was reading.
It’s ironic because Xiao Qin was studying from a book that had no morals. I looked at a random line from the book and it said “Girls will take off their clothes easier when they are drunk”, that’s clearly a guide for men.
“Confiscated.” I took the dating book out of Xiao Qin’s hand, but she didn’t do anything else other than a slight voice of protest.
She extended her arm and showed me the children’s watch that was on her left wrist. It was what I gave her yesterday from Wu Sheng’s bequest.
Xiao Qin was determined to keep the watch on her wrist even when the strap was too tight and constricted her blood flow. Every time I raised my hand to check the time, she would also copy my actions like it was interesting.
“Ye Lin classmate gave me this watch.” Xiao Qin said happily, “I’ll treat it as a family heirloom and pass it down to my descendants.”
“It’s a children’s watch. It’s supposed to be for my kids and not for you.”
Xiao Qin widened her eyes and looked at me in shock, then she blushed.
“Is Ye Lin classmate saying that this watch is for, is for our kid?”
No, after thinking about it, it’s more suitable to leave it for Auntie Ren’s child, which would be our younger brother or sister.
Xiao Qin gazed out at the blue sky outside the window and began to use her imagination.
“Will the first child between Ye Lin classmate and I be a boy or a girl?”
How many kids do you plan to have? I’m more concerned about whether Auntie Ren’s child will be a boy or girl right now.
“I hope the first child will be a boy. Once he could talk and walk, I’ll purposely let him get lost outside the police station. Then I would run in while crying, hug him and say ‘Your dad and I were really worried!’, that would be interesting.”
Interesting my ass, are you purposely trying to anger the class leader that way since the class leader said she would be a police officer.
Gong CaiCai came to collect homework at this time. Xiao Qin stared with hatred at the mountains in front of her.
“Return it to me, return it to me, return it to me…”
Xiao Qin cursed from behind. Gong CaiCai shivered and carried the stack of homework further away.
After class, our class basketball team was practicing their shooting skills. Only Niu ShiLi, who had an injured foot, was gloomily sitting near the base of the basketball stand. I remembered about the fact Xiao Qin forced He Ling to go on a date with Niu ShiLi this weekend.
He Ling didn’t like it, and she asked me what kid of girls Niu ShiLi hates so she could screw up the date.
If I think about it, the reason why I was able to get in touch with Tang Jiang and get the class leader out of safety was because of He Ling.
That’s why I should help He Ling get out of dating someone she doesn’t want to date.
Thus I walked slowly next to Niu ShiLi with an ulterior motive in mind. I casually started a conversation:
“Uh, how’s your foot, can you still participate in Wednesday’s game?”
“I can’t, are you happy now?” Niu ShiLi snorted.
I felt a bit awkward. “How can you say that? You’re one of strongest players! You have to get enough rest and try to participate in the finals.”
Niu ShiLi furrowed his brows and stayed silent.
It might be too direct to ask Niu ShiLi what type of girls he hates, so I beat around the bush and said:
“Class 6’s cheerleaders from our last game were pretty annoying.”
Niu ShiLi still kept silent.
“Actually, girls are pretty annoying in general. Are there any parts about girls that you can’t stand?”
I felt I would get the answer that He Ling wanted.
I never expected Niu ShiLi to subconsciously cover his butt and say to me in a loud voice:
“I won’t turn gay no matter how annoying girls are. Stay away from me and stop trying to test me or I’ll call the cops.”
Who’s testing you, I don’t have those kinds of tastes. Even if I was gay, Shen ShaoYi suits my tastes more, and I still have Shu Zhe…
I felt a bit disgusted when I thought of Shu Zhe.
During break, I ran into Shu Zhe on the playground, and the strange feeling I had earlier was still lingering around.
Shu Zhe didn’t know what I was thinking at all. He was chewing gum and seemed to have something to show off.
“Bro Ye Lin, I sneaked a peek at my sister’s diary again.”
I asked impatiently: “What did she write?”, then I remembered I should be criticizing his actions, so I feigned anger and said: “Didn’t I say you shouldn’t peek at her diary anymore?”
Shu Zhe laughed, “Bro Ye Lin, you’re so dishonest, you clearly really want to know my sister’s thoughts, right?”
He stuck out his hands towards me: “Information fee is ¥100, hand it over.”
“How about 50?” I tried to bargain with him.
Shu Zhe looked up at the sky, “50 is fine, but then I can’t guarantee the validity of the information…”
It couldn’t be helped, I really wanted to know what the class leader wrote, so I gave Shu Zhe 100 dollars, but I kept in mind there was a day I would make him earn it back for me.
Shu Zhe checked the watermark of the bill out of habit, then said slowly:
“Although my sister switched back to a regular lock instead of a password lock, I still have an opportunity to peek at the contents with a bit of risk.”
“Based on a long period of observation, my sister will always write in her journal at night at 10pm. That’s why I purposely went to my sister’s room that time at night to ask for help with my homework. I then intentionally dropped my pen on the ground. When my sister bent down to help me pick it up, I took that chance to sneak a peek.”
That really sounds like a plot from a spy drama, no wonder Shu Zhe asked me for an ‘information fee’.
“Since I was really nervous, I could only read the page she was currently writing on. Bro Ye Lin, do you know what my sister wrote?”
“I don’t know, that’s why I asked you. Hurry up and tell me, stop making me wait.”
“Hmph. My sister only wrote one sentence: I want to go to the same high school.”
“That’s it?”
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping the class leader would write ‘Ye Lin will be a good husband’ or ‘I want to have kids with Ye Lin’.
But what she wrote is so vague. ‘I want to go to the same high school’, with who? And what happens after you go to the same school? I had even more questions now than before I knew what she wrote.
Shu Zhe looked at me with contempt and said: “Bro Ye Lin, why are you so dumb? My sister said she wants to go to the same high school, it’s obvious she’s talking about with you! My sister is exceptionally shy around these matters, so she doesn’t plan to give you a response in middle school. Once she attends the same high school as you, she will agree to date you.”
Regardless if Shu Zhe’s interpretation was correct or not, it seems difficult to accomplish.
There’s absolutely no way I could attend the same high school as the class leader with my grades, so this must be her way of rejecting me.
Seeing my frustration, Shu Zhe gave his idea:
“Bro Ye Lin, it’s actually not that hard to attend the same high school as my sister.”
Huh, was it possible he had some tricks to make me quickly raise my grades?
“Bro Ye Lin, you could reverse your way of thinking. There’s no way you could catch up to my sister’s grades, so you should think of a way to make my sister’s grades drop.”
“What, why does Shu Sha have such an awful brother who would even come up with this idea?”
Shu Zhe patted the wallet in his pocket, “That’s a free add on to the information fee, you should take my advice. My sister left a possibility that she may date you in high school, so that means she’s not invulnerable right now. If you go on the offensive, then you might make more progress.”
“Although there are cases where a relationship would increase your grades, but that doesn’t apply to my sister. She would only have the desire of going to the same high school, so she would unknowingly match your grades to guarantee you guys could stay together. That way everyone will be happy.”
“Everyone will be happy? Your sister is someone who could make it to a top high school, but if she goes to a regular school with me, it might affect her dream of becoming a criminal police officer.”
“What’s so good about being a police officer? It’s dangerous and you don’t make a lot of money, I’m actually happy if she doesn’t become one. In my opinion, my sister should competitions like Super Girl or school beauty pageants. She might become popular and you can also bask in her glory.”
Keep dreaming, are you planning for the both of us to live off your sister?
I gave Shu Zhe a smack on the head in response to his preposterous suggestion, he then left while grumbling complaints.
I was planning on giving the 50 condoms to Eunuch Cao.
But Eunuch Cao wasn’t at school today because he had the runs.
Luckily, he lived close to school. I could only personally head to his house during lunch break.
