Chapter 69 – Sudden Unannounced Inspection
Isn’t that Xiao Qin? It seems like you have not been abducted by aliens!
She held a small brown paper bag in her hands, which obviously contained roasted sweet potatoes. It seems like she has successfully completed her mission.
Although the bag was carried for a while, the roasted sweet potato was still hot, Xiao Qin was holding it in her hands like a hot water bottle for warmth.
She is pretty capable, I took a deep breath.
Xiao Qin saw that the automatic gates were closed, but she stood at the gates without moving an inch.
It was odd, it’s not like this was the first class of the day, as long as you say something to the guard, he would let you in.
Looking more carefully, I found out why Xiao Qin had stopped.
The guard on duty today was the nephew of the usual security guard, the young security guard.
Last time when Xiao Qin was late with me, she was afraid of speaking to him.
Since he was younger, he was labeled as “opposite sex of the same age” and triggered her androphobia.
What’s even worse was that the guard actually fell asleep, otherwise even if Xiao Qin made some gestures, he would have helped her open the gates.
After much hardships of buying the elusive roasted sweet potato. Xiao Qin was stumped with no solution at the school gate.
It appears to be pretty windy today, Xiao Qin held her arms while shivering.
She started jogging on the spot, hoping to slightly increase her body temperature.
Sure enough, she was afraid of the cold. I found out a while back that Xiao Qin was deathly afraid of the cold.
It’s weird, I don’t remember the Little Tyrant being afraid of the cold. When we had snowball fights during winter, he would bury me headfirst in the snow and planned to use me as the base for a snowman.
How come you lost your resistance to the cold once you became a girl? I guess this would be considered a side effect of changing classes.
I looked at her from the window and was starting to feel anxious.
If you are afraid of cold, then just knock on the window of the guard room! You don’t even need to talk to him, he will see how pitiful you look and definitely will let you in!
Xiao Qin continued to hop while holding her arms, but suddenly she stopped, as if she had realized something extraordinary.
She touched the bag of roasted sweet potatoes and revealed a bad expression.
Eh? Did something happen to the roasted sweet potato? Is it because you stood outside too long, so the roasted sweet potato is getting colder? Don’t worry about the the sweet potato! Getting inside the school should be your number one priority!
Right now in Xiao Qin’s mind, the temperature of the roasted sweet potato seems to be more important than entering the school.
She looked around to make sure the coast was clear, then she stealthily unzipped her uniform, and quickly inserted the roasted sweet potato into her bosom.
Ah! Your expression revealed that you were obviously burned! Although it felt a bit cool to the touch, but if feeling with your chest, it was definitely hot!
What are you doing! Were you worried that I wouldn’t like to eat cooled roasted sweet potato, so you wanted to keep it warm by keeping it in your bosom!
Who wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes that was kept in your bosom?!
Watching Xiao Qin hopping around to keep warm against the cold, while being burned by the roasted sweet potato in her bosom to the point of releasing tears, I coudn’t stand it anymore.
What kind of punishment is this? One minute it’s hot, one minute it’s cold! Dual punishment of ice and fire!
“Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom!”
I raised my hand and said to the teacher.
Everyone in the class turned around and looked at me. I rarely spoke in English class, so the eight words I said this time might have set a new record.
When I raised my hand, the teacher consciously moved. He probably thought that I had thrown a hidden weapon. Once he heard that I just wanted to go to the bathroom, he quickly agreed.
When I passed by the class leader’s seat as I left the classroom, she didn’t look at me.
So cold, has she completely given up on me?
I speedily ran to the school gate, and Xiao Qin spotted me from the other side of the automatic door. Her expression was like seeing the savior at the end of the world.
I knocked on the glass and woke up the guard. He was still sleepy and didn’t ask anything. He just pressed the button and let Xiao Qin in.
“boo hoo~~~~ I thought I would never see Ye Lin classmate again (´;︵;`)”
Xiao Qin always exaggerated, this time was no exception.
I felt a bit guilty and didn’t know what to say.
“Oh right, Ye Lin classmate’s food, I properly kept it warm!”
Xiao Qin said while unzipping her uniform.
She wasn’t shy towards me at all! She even used me as cover to avoid being seen by other students who were in gym class! Can’t you learn a bit more shame?!
Of course, there wasn’t anything particularly worthwhile seeing, only a small section of her white chest below the neck was exposed.
There was no need for censorship, the protrusions were not obvious, people would believe you even if you said it was a boy’s chest.
Xiao Qin didn’t know what I was thinking. After she took out the roasted sweet potato, she had a proud expression on her face.
“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, I got the roasted auntie… No, I bought the roasted sweet potato! Please enjoy!”
I hesitated slightly, Xiao Qin may have misunderstood, thinking that I was angry and immediately bowed to apologize:
“I… I’m sorry! I’m so useless, I still had to have Ye Lin classmate personally come out to pick me up! Please forgive me!”
It was an indescribable feeling. When I took the bag from her hands and touched her ice cold fingertips.
It seems that in order to help me buy roasted sweet potatoes that are usually only available in winter, she really ran around to find some.
In the face of such hard work put in by Xiao Qin, I suddenly didn’t know what to say.
If we went back to class together, it would be suspicious. God knows what kind of gossip will be spread around by Loud Mouth, or how the class leader will speculate.
“Would you like to skip this class with me?”
I asked in an inquiring tone.
Xiao Qin said “ok”, and started following me, like a faithful servant.
If I don’t eat the roasted sweet potato, it would definitely get cold.
To be honest, I wasn’t that hungry. The sweet potato was quite big, it would be a waste since I might not be able to finish the entire one.
I divided the sweet potato in half and gave half to Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin’s face could not be described with words. She shakily received it, but did not immediately put it in her mouth.
When I started to eat, Xiao Qin followed and also started to eat. While eating she showed an expression of extreme bliss.
Is it that delicious? People say that this auntie often slightly burns the sweet potatoes!
It might be all in my head. For some reason I feel like the sweet potato that had been in Xiao Qin’s bosom tasted of milk.
We walked around the exercise field while eating the sweet potato, neither of us spoke.
Xiao Qin was probably afraid of the cold, as she walked we eventually were side by side, and she leaned directly on me.
Usually, this would be embarrassing, and I would push her away immediately.
However, today was a special case. Since you were frozen cold, and couldn’t say anything. I’ll let you rest a bit for today
Anyway, I have nothing to lose.
The white clouds on the blue sky looked soft, like marshmallows, and my mood also softened.
If Xiao Qin could always be this quiet.
When we walked to the back fields, we saw two first year classes in physical education class.
Some people were doing triple jumps in the sand pit, and others were doing short distance sprints. It was probably the task assigned by the teacher.
I saw Shu Zhe hiding behind a group of people so he was not easily seen by the teacher. He was just lazing-off and leaning against the horizontal bars.
A teenager who doesn’t like exercising. No wonder when he was being bullied, he would only prostrate and apologize.
He saw that I was walking together with Xiao Qin. He had a stunned expression like he was Zhou Yu in the Battle of Red Cliffs, who was planning to use fire to attack. Until the day it was time for the assault, he suddenly realized that he miscalculated the wind direction.
Does he think that Xiao Qin is my girlfriend? He realized that his plan of selling out his sister already failed. Now he needs to re-select his target?
I don’t have time to worry about him, I already have enough troubles on my plate.
At noon, Xiao Qin asked for a sick leave from the class teacher because she wasn’t feeling well.
Because the class leader was unable to leave, Loud Mouth and Little Smart sent Xiao Qin to the subway station.
Actually, if Xiao Qin asked me, I might have escorted her back home.
But she probably didn’t want me to miss class, so she only said one line as she left, “How regrettable, I’ll have to wait until Monday to see Ye Lin classmate again.”
Since Xiao Qin wasn’t next to me in the three afternoon classes, I felt a bit lonely.
It’s like sleeping in the same room with a person who always snores. You usually think that he is annoying, but if one day you can’t hear his snoring anymore, you can’t fall asleep anymore.
Maybe I am the one who got Stockholm Syndrome.
Today was Friday. During the last self-study class, nobody could hold back anymore.
Regardless of boys or girls, they were all whispering to each other about their plans for the weekend.
There was no one near me I can communicate with, so I used a look of disdain to gaze at these plebeians.
This is why you don’t celebrate too soon, the music was extremely sad. 20 minutes before class ended, the Headteacher and a few students union members barged into our classroom, saying that it was a surprise inspection.
Most of my classmates’ faces were wailing, and there were a few who were like a cat on a hot tin roof since they secretly brought their mobile phones to school.
I was extremely happy, because there were no contraband in my bag, I can sit still and gloat.
I suddenly thought: Eunuch Cao’s bag was bulging, don’t tell me he brought PS nude photos of the class leader?
If it was found by the headteacher, even if he was given a warning, or had to write self-reflections, even if he deserves it, but the class leader will also lose face.
I am a bit worried.
