“Don’t look at me, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t have a hobby of teasing girl delinquents.”
I cleared myself before the class leader could suspect me.
I actually wasn’t extremely confident because according to the Five Tiger Punishment Squad’s intelligence reports, the leader of the rose group hates someone with the Ye surname. I don’t know why she resents our family, but if I did accidentally beat up her boyfriend before, then she’s come to the right place.
The volleyball girl has seen Xiong YaoYue always hanging around with me, so she wasn’t as afraid of me anymore, and she spoke to the class leader:
“It has nothing to do with Ye Lin. The leader said one of the girls from class 2-3 who stayed behind for class duties stole her boyfriend…”
That was close, luckily Xiong YaoYue wasn’t here, otherwise she would pat my shoulder and say: “Good job, you could even steal men from girls. I hope you find happiness in your new relationship.”
The class leader came to a sudden realization and looked at Gong CaiCai.
Since Gong CaiCai had a small body, large breasts, good personality, and comes from a good family, a lot of boys consider her their number one choice as a girlfriend. Even students from other schools have come here trying to ask out Gong CaiCai to be their girlfriend.
Of course, even though Gong CaiCai is weak, she didn’t accept all their request otherwise she would already have 100 boyfriends. As for the people who ask her out, she would usually use her parents as an excuse to refuse them. If they were still bothering her, then the class leader or Xiong YaoYue would be there to help her out. Usually Xiong YaoYue would be more effective because her tomboy characteristics can turn off the guys who like gentle girls. But when the class leader leader helps out, her face might be serious, but there’s a high chance she becomes the new target of those suitors.
It’s not the first time Gong CaiCai has been wrongly accused of stealing someone else’s boyfriend. Just last semester, there was some hoodlum’s girlfriend who came looking for trouble. It was the class leader who asked for her boyfriend’s number and confronted him before he admitted he had a crush on Gong CaiCai and wanted to breakup, but it had nothing to do with Gong CaiCai.
“Cai Cai, don’t be afraid.” The class leader comforted the trembling Gong CaiCai, “It must be a misunderstanding like last time. Let’s go out from the front since there’s security at the gates and they won’t act rashly. We don’t need to hide, we should try to get the problem solved today.”
“Shu Sha…” The volleyball girl tugged on the class leader’s clothes from behind, “Can you come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you in private…”
“Is it something personal, why can’t you say it here?”
“Well, not really, but it might affect your reputation.”
The class leader laughed, “I care more about the reputation of my class. If it’s me, just point it out when I make mistakes.” The class leader took a drink from her bottle of water, perhaps it was in preparation for her argument later with the girls outside.
The volleyball girl was a bit hesitant, but said: “Shu Sha, actually their leader said the girl who stole their boyfriend wasn’t Gong CaiCai, but… it seems to be you…”
“Pffft”, the class leader spat out all the water from her mouth. As one of the people standing next to her, my face, hair, shirt were all drenched in water.
Xiao Qin who saw my drenched face, handed over some napkins, “Hurry and wipe it off, there’s poison, there’s poison.”
As I was wiping my face, I could hear the class leader speaking while trying to suppress her anger:
“I never stole anyone’s boyfriend, it must be a misunderstanding.”
Gong CaiCai breathed a sigh in relief when she heard she wasn’t the focus this time, but the uniform was still restricting her breath.
After wiping my face with a couple of napkins, the class leader remembered about me and apologized:
“Are you alright, it wasn’t on purpose.”
“He’s already been poisoned.” Xiao Qin interrupted.
“I’m alright. Class leader, whose boyfriend did you steal?”
“I said I never stole anyone.” Her face turned red from shame and her hair shook violently. If there weren’t this many people around, she would have already kicked me.
“Shu Sha, are you going to try and reason with them?” The volleyball girl asked cautiously.
“Why wouldn’t I go?” The class leader pressed forward, “It’s still a misunderstanding and I never did anything wrong, so I’m not afraid…”
Then she glanced at me and she seemed to be saying with her eyes: “Are you sure you have nothing to do with them?”
I stepped forward and took the lead to leave the classroom, “Class leader, I’ll go with you. Our class leader can’t be bullied or that would damage our class’ reputation.”
The class leader was a bit moved and seemed slightly gratified.
“But, wait until the cleaning is done…” the class leader was uncomfortable seeing a half cleaned classroom.
“Why care about cleaning now?” The volleyball girl said, “Since Ye Lin’s still here to protect you, we can go now and scare them off if we can’t reason with them.”
“I… I’m not going…” Gong CaiCai said feebly, “I’ll stay behind to clean…”
“I’ll do a good thing and help Gong CaiCai clean together.” The volleyball girl rolled up her sleeves, “I could only play volleyball and can’t fight, so I won’t accompany you guys… huh, what’s this scissor for?”
Since Gong CaiCai was still stuck, the class leader briefly summarized the situation for volleyball girl.
“Hahaha, I can’t believe that actually happened. Okay, I’ll save Gong CaiCai, you guys be careful too, they look like difficult opponents.”
Xiao Qin leaned over and said to me: “It’s all because of the female antagonists fickle nature, you should open your eyes and see the truth.”
I grabbed onto her hand, “You come too.”
“Ye Lin classmate, not here… there’s people watching…”
“What do you think I’m bringing you for, I want you to help with the fight.”
“Eh, but I can’t help since I have a weak body.”
“Stop with the act in front of me. The opponents are girls, so if we actually get into a fight, I want you to hit them for me.”
Even if they are delinquents, I can’t really take care of them myself. So, Xiao Qin would be perfect since she’s also a girl.
“Why do I have to help the class leader?”
“do you even have a conscience? Who was the one who helped you out when you first transferred here?”
Xiao Qin pouted and rolled her eyes to the top left.
“Did you forget when the class leader came to visit and cook for you when you had menstrual pains?”
Now Xiao Qin rolled her eyes in the other direction.
“No matter what happened, the class leader was the first to help you. Look at how many times the class leader brought seafood fried rice for you during lunch when you didn’t want to go to the cafeteria.”
Xiao Qin’s eyes moistened a bit when I mentioned the seafood rice.
“I don’t want to be the bad guy. If the class leader wasn’t trying to steal Ye Lin classmate away from me, I would probably be good friends with her.”
“The class leader already thinks of you as a good friend. Are you not going to help a friend out when you see them in trouble? Is that fair for the class leader? You say you’re a cat who can play pranks all the time… but as you’ve said before, the number one criteria for the female protagonist is a kind heart. If you’re not kind at all, then as the male protagonist, I would have no reason to like you…”
Xiao Qin suffered a shock and was about to cry.
“Please… I tried so hard…. it’s much more difficult being a girl… much harder than fighting…”
I grabbed her shoulders, “That’s why you can simply fight today. If we need to resort to violent, you can hit them and I’ll like you more.”
“Really? But if the class leader sees, then I wouldn’t be able to pretend to be weak anymore…”
“Well, that trait has never suited you anyway. You can keep pretending or end up being disliked by me, choose one.”
“I would rather die than have you dislike me.” Xiao Qin clenched her fists, “Even if it’s giving up my weak body characteristic, or using my ugly martial arts…”
No one called your martial arts ugly. Even when you entered your darkened state, I thought your moves made it seem like a beautiful dance. Your moves made you look really cool, so stop trying to be a manga cat.
The class leader asked when she heard Xiao Qin was coming along:
“Isn’t it better if you stay behind with Gong CaiCai?”
Gong CaiCai shook her head from behind volleyball girl.
