Chapter 613: Five Tigers Blade
Chapter 613: Five Tigers Blade
“Clap clap clap.”
“Clap clap clap.”
“Clap clap clap clap clap clap.”
Xiong YaoYue and I happily started to exercise on top of the mountain.
We shed youthful sweat as our bodies collided against each other. Our cheeks were also flushed red as we were out for breath.
And it was all in front of the other classmates.
Um, if anyone of you thought of something dirty, go take a timeout. We’re just clapping mosquitoes.
It’s really tiring chasing mosquitoes around on a hot summer’s day. And our bodies colliding was only referring to our hands hitting each other.
The idiot Xiong YaoYue thought there were too few mosquitoes, so after she killed all the ones around Xiao Qin’s head, she purposely kicked at the tall grass and lured out a bunch more of them.
All of the mosquitoes focused their attention on three targets: Xiao Qin, the class leader, and Gong CaiCai (especially Gong CaiCai). They all viciously pounced towards the three of them.
Xiao Qin used her straw hat as a shield and hid behind the class leader. The class leader remained calm while Gong CaiCai squatted down and covered her head while mumbling “I feel sorry for my parents”.
So of course I had to step in and try to kill as many mosquitoes as the enthusiastic Xiong YaoYue.
A conservative estimate would be that Xiong YaoYue and I killed at least forty to fifty mosquitoes that day.
Xiong YaoYue got to into clapping the mosquitoes to the point where it looked like she wanted to wipe them all out. That’s when she ran into a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a white shirt and the two ended up colliding.
“Ow, be careful, be careful.” He covered his glasses and said repeatedly.
It turns out it was the principal of the special education school.
“I was afraid you guys aren’t familiar with the facilities on Cui Song Mountain, so I came up here to see what I could do to help…”
He said while vigilantly observing the various sources of fire we set up. It was clear that he was worried about us causing a fire.
But the fire conscious class leader had set up the barbecue grills as far away as possible from flammable materials. She also had plastic basins full of of water placed nearby, just in case.
The principal looked around, but didn’t see any fire hazards. In order to avoid embarrassment, he looked towards Xiong YaoYue and I, who went in front of him to clap mosquitoes, and said:
“Um… your couple’s outfits suit you guys well.”
Why did you have to mention that, are you working for Zhuang Ni or something? I just explained to the class leader there was nothing going on between me and Xiong YaoYue.
Do you think we look like a couple because we both seem athletic? Wear your glasses properly and take a closer look, we aren’t wearing a matching shirt for couples, but a class uniform!
As I was about to deny it, Xiong YaoYue beat me to it, she waved her hands and said, “No, no, Uncle, you’re mistaken. Ye Le is indeed in a relationship, but it’s with someone else.”
Although I appreciate her explaining it, can she lower her voice a bit? She only needs to use her normal voice, but it sounds like she’s speaking through a megaphone. That’s why the class leader and the others, who weren’t standing very far away, was able to hear her words.
Xiong YaoYue looked towards Xiao Qin while she said I was in a relationship with someone else.
But Xiao Qin was currently standing behind the class leader to avoid the mosquitoes. From the class leader’s perspective, it looked like Xiong YaoYue was referring to her.
The class leader’s face instantly reddened and she randomly flipped around the meat skewers that Loud Mouth placed on the racks to suppress the fluctuations in her heart.
“Can you still eat more?” The class leader asked Loud Mouth.
“Probably.” Loud Mouth rubbed her stomach, “I think I still have a bit left in me, I can’t lose to Winnie.”
“You won’t lose.” The class leader said as if she was implying something else. She stood even taller than before and looked a little proud of herself.
When she looked at me and Xiong YaoYue, she no longer looked bitter at all. She treated our relationship like we were a bunch of boys.
Although the class leader misunderstood again, it looks like the result is pretty good…
The special education school’s principal praised our fire prevention efforts after a tour of the camp, fully exposing the real purpose of his trip.
“Teacher Yu, you really led your students well.”
He found teacher Yu who was eating tofu skins behind a rock and gave him a thumbs up.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a camp so neatly planned and with such perfect fire prevention. Even college students are rarely able to organize it so well.”
“No, no. My students are all very independent, it’s all their own work.”
I guess that’s true, if you clarify further: Everything was organized by Shu Sha and you didn’t do anything, then it would be even more accurate.
The principal, however, thought that Mr. Yu was being modest, so he said with heartfelt admiration for the veteran educator:
“The students are the result of your hard work.”
His words were music to teacher Yu’s ears and he had a face full of joy. He patted the principal’s shoulders (the special education principal was young and looked to be teacher Yu’s junior).
“If you put your heart into it and believe in your students, the students will definitely work twice as hard to repay their teachers.”
Don’t teach other people fake educational tips! You were lucky to meet Shu Sha the ‘substitute teacher’, so that’s why you can believe in her and get repaid, but what do you think would happen if you believed in Eunuch Cao? He would have photoshopped a nude calendar with all the pretty girls in 28 Middle and sold it around the city.
Even if it’s not Eunuch Cao, Shu Zhe wouldn’t work either! If by any chance you let Shu Zhe become the class leader simply because he seems like a good student and that he’s Shu Sha’s brother… then you’re going to be in a world of hurt.
Like starting a business by organizing students to write homework for elementary school students, or creating fake expense reports, or embezzling class funds… if you let someone like Shu Zhe be the class leader, the class will be in disarray and be unable to cooperate with each other.
The young principal of the special education school headed down the mountain with satisfaction after ‘learning’ from teacher Yu.
I sincerely hope he won’t run into a dishonest student like Shu Zhe. Fortunately, although many students in special education schools are physically and mentally disabled, they are still a hundred times better than the heartless Shu Zhe.
Although many boys labeled themselves as ‘carnivores’, many of them were in the same state as Eunuch Cao and couldn’t eat another bite.
Since we saved a lot of money on buses and tickets to attractions on this trip, the class leader allocated more of the funds to food. Even Loud Mouth continuously hiccuped and said she couldn’t eat anymore.
Xiao Qin, who had stuffed herself with seafood, laid down on the picnic mat in a position similar to that of Zhuang Ni, who refused to eat from the beginning.
“What a shame, there are still some very large shrimps being grilled…”
Xiong YaoYue was the only one who was still eating.
Loud Mouth angrily glared at Xiong YaoYue, because she ate way more than her and didn’t get fat.
It’s because Xiong YaoYue exercised a lot.
If both Loud Mouth and Xiong YaoYue were fixed in their seats and only focused on eating, then it should be Loud Mouth who could eat a bit more.
But when it comes to a buffet, especially in an outdoor setting, Xiong YaoYue who keeps running and jumping around, will eat while digesting in an infinite cycle.
I suddenly thought, whoever marries this tomboy in the future will have to spend a lot of money just on food.
The best way is to tie Xiong YaoYue to the table, so that she can’t move around during the meal and consume more energy.
But if a visitor found out, they will definitely think Xiong YaoYue is being abused by her husband and call the police on their way out.
I swear to god, I can guarantee that her husband is just trying to cut costs, otherwise all their living expenses would be eaten up by Xiong YaoYue.
“Don’t eat any more meat.” The class leader suggested, “We should eat some fruits after the meal, it’s also good for your health.”
Thus the charcoal fire was extinguished and foldable cutting boards were laid out on top of coolers and flat rocks to prepare and distribute fruits for everyone to eat.
The watermelon was very popular. After Xiong YaoYue got some, she spat out her seeds to attack the beetles near Xiao Qin and she actually struck one.
“Stomp it to death, stomp on it!” Xiao Qin hid behind Xiong YaoYue and shrieked.
“Ah, class leader, it turns out the muskmelon is in this bag.” Loud Mouth shouted, “I thought I forgot it at home.”
“Then let’s cut it and split it. Ye Lin, come and cut it, pay attention to your safety.”
I had just made a pact with the class leader to “be useful to society”, so I felt that I should first become “useful to the class”.
So I put down my half-eaten piece of watermelon and went behind the chopping board that the class leader had prepared for me. I then picked up the chopping knife that Loud Mouth handed me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Xiao Qin steal my half-eaten piece of watermelon.
“First, don’t cut your hand.” The class leader stuck out a finger and warned, “Second, don’t let Winnie close to you.”
As if she was afraid I would misunderstand, she added: “I meant don’t let her get close to your knife.”
Of course I understand. It seems lately Xiong YaoYue has been playing some mobile game called Five Tigers Door Smasher Blade or something. In case she’s actually crazy enough to show off the blade moves for the game, then someone’s going to get injured.
Class leader, are you worried that I would think the reason you don’t want Winnie close is because you’re still jealous of us?
The class leader’s fears were right, Xiong YaoYue really had ambitions for the knife in my hands. She came running up to me with two muskmelons, one in each hand.
She also called a bunch of other girls to get muskmelons and threatened she would lift their skirts if they didn’t deliver the melons.
Was she trying to distract me and try to achieve her goals amongst the chaos?
How can I let you get your way? If you took the knife away from me, then I would be embarrassed to call myself the safety committee member.
