“A bad ending because he wanted to force a kiss.” A certain nearby elderly woman explained to the others around her.
Xiong YaoYue’s reactions was completely out of my expectations.
I’ve always treated her as a tomboy, so I felt it wasn’t a big deal even if I kissed her once.
But now that I think about it, she’s still a teenage girl! She might be usually carefree and casual, but not to the point where you can muddle in a kiss!
She let me kiss her because she firmly believed I was homosexual and wouldn’t actually do it. Now she must be dubious of the claims that ‘I like woman’ since my actions were out of her expectations.
If that’s the case, then all those previous incidents where I saw her body bubbled to her mind.
First time was when she played basketball with us and I grabbed her breast when we fell; then it was when Peng TouSi was driving and she changed in the backseat because she thought we were both gay; the worst one was when I had intimate bodily contact with her in the alleyway. If it was Gong CaiCai who did something like that with me, then she would think she can’t get married anymore.
“Damn bastard, how dare you lie to me.” Xiong YaoYue stepped on my feet again.
There were a lot of people around watching us and this scene which looked like a couple’s fight made me feel embarrassed. I grabbed both of Xiong YaoYue’s wrists and told her to calm down and move to a place with nobody around to talk.
Xiong YaoYue glared at me and wanted to break out of my grip, but she realized she couldn’t move at all even if she used all her strength. It was the first time she felt powerlessness as a woman and felt even more humiliated.
“Winnie, listen to me.” I took the opportunity to explain myself, “I’ve never once admitted I was homosexual in front of you, it was you who kept on misunderstanding. You said it was a shame our class didn’t have someone who was gay cause you thought gays were cool. Maybe you were hoping I was gay and that’s why you didn’t listen to me.”
Xiong YaoYue’s pupils shrank as if I hit the nail on the head, but her anger didn’t subside.
Both her hands were under my control, so she wanted to raise her leg to kick me, then I warned: “You’re wearing a miniskirt, so I’ll see your underwear if you raise your leg.”
She then retracted her legs.
Ah, I’m now finally treated as a man. It’s always been my goal, but why does it feel a tad melancholic.
I never expected a mediator to come right at this time. A sound caught our attention:
“Woof, woof.”
It was Peng TouSi walking Obama.
“Lin, Winnie, why are you guys fighting?”
Peng TouSi asked amicably.
I let go of Xiong YaoYue’s hands and she instantly sat down on the bench and crossed her arms and legs in a bad mood.
“Peng Peng, so Ye Lin isn’t gay?”
“I’ve never once said Lin was gay.” Peng TouSi replied.
Xiong YaoYue thought about it for a while, “It seems you really haven’t…”
I added on: “That’s right, even Tang Jiang said I was a gay due to a misunderstanding. Peng TouSi, do you still remember when you helped me deal with the peaked cap hoodlum with Ai Mi on your shoulders?”
Peng TouSi laughed and said: “They did mistake you as a homosexual like me and was afraid of getting AIDS, how laughable.”
Speaking of that, it seems Tang Jiang wasn’t afraid of getting AIDS from me anymore since he talked with me about Xiao Hong. Is it the power of love or did he just google it and learn you can’t get AIDS through normal means.
Peng TouSi’s large and sturdy body, in addition to his gentle tone, had a calming effect.
Xiong YaoYue still had her arms crossed in front of her chest, but she already uncrossed her legs.
“Does this mean Ye Lin wasn’t intentionally lying to me?”
Peng TouSi was baffled, “Why would he intentionally pretend to be gay in front of you?”
“To take advantage of me! He already felt my breasts and saw my underwear. Should I be mad he pretended to be gay to take advantage of me?”
Peng TouSi looked at me for answers, but I could only shrug helplessly while acquiescing Xiong YaoYue’s words.
Peng TouSi cleared his throat and said:
“It’s a serious problem, so Ye Lin has to take responsibility.”
Hey, what do you mean? If it was Gong CaiCai, then it was be a serious problem, but it’s not really a big deal for Xiong YaoYue.
“Res-, responsibility?” Xiong YaoYue also didn’t expect it, “I’m only a bit mad. It’s not like Ye Lin knocked me up, he doesn’t need to take responsibility.”
“No, Lin has to take responsibility” Peng TouSi said decisively as if he suddenly became one of Xiong YaoYue’s relatives. As I was doubting his words, Peng TouSi whispered something to me and I understood.
Peng TouSi told me there was a Häagen-Dazs store in the plaza and his job other walking the dog was to buy an ice cream for Ai Mi. There was nothing better than Häagen-Dazs ice cream to help cool Xiong YaoYue’s temper.
Thus I took over Peng TouSi’s job and while buying Ai Mi a low calorie ice cream cone, I also bought Xiong YaoYue’s favorite three scoops.
Xiong YaoYue’s eyes lit up when she saw me holding the three scoops, but she felt a bit embarrassed to take it since she just hit me.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you, but you didn’t really treat me as a man and I can’t really control my eyes…”
Xiong YaoYue turned her face to the side and pretended to be unswayed, but she was actually using her peripheral vision to check if the ice cream had melted yet.
Due to Obama’s recent diet, he was starving for food. When he saw me holding the ice cream at a reachable height, he couldn’t control himself and leaped up with his tongue out trying to lick it.
My attention was focused on Xiong YaoYue, so my reaction was a bit slow. Right when the ¥65 ice cream was about to enter the dog’s mouth, Xiong YaoYue suddenly yelled out and caught onto Obama’s throat.
“Bastard, that’s my ice cream!”
All the spectators had ran away when they saw Peng TouSi come over, but they began to look back once they saw a girl in a miniskirt fighting with a Husky.
Obama’s wails coupled with Xiong YaoYue’s cursing was really noisy.
Xiong YaoYue was finally able to defeat Obama with her stubbornness. Obama pretended to be dead and seemed like a weakling.
Xiong YaoYue wasn’t watching her appearance at all as she finally stood up after squatting down and wrestling with Obama. She then snatched the three scoops from my hands.
She was bold and confident like the three scoops was her trophy.
Peng TouSi said he had to bring the ice cream back to Ai Mi before it melted. After Obama was dragged a couple steps, he rolled around and revived.
“Woof, woof!” Obama barked furiously at Xiong YaoYue as if he had just beat her.
Xiong YaoYue actually got serious with a dog and barked back: “Woof woof woof.” Her voice was even louder than Obama. Obama could only return home with his tail tucked between his legs.
Xiong YaoYue’s face was brimming with joy after she finished her three scoops, I don’t think she was mad anymore. It’s so easy to deal with a glutton.
“Ye Lin, let me copy your Physics homework starting from tomorrow.”
“Huh, I always do it right before it gets collected, so I don’t think there’s enough time.”
Xiong YaoYue patted her leg, “Don’t make me mad. Physics is so hard, but you can actually finish the work before Gong CaiCai collects all the homework, and you scored number one in our class on the midterms. You’re clearly a Physics genius, so do homework earlier and let me copy it, then I won’t be mad at you anymore.”
“Then… we’ll still be good friends?”
“As long as you let me copy your Physics homework, we will be great friends. It’s a shame we can’t be close female friends anymore, but we can still be brothers.”
It looks like I finally fixed Xiong YaoYue’s misunderstanding about my sexual orientation. I might have to do my Physics homework on time as a cost, but it’s worth it if I can be treated as a man.
On Thursday, as per our agreement, Eunuch Cao returned 20 condoms to me. I was planning on Shu Zhe blowing them up for me, but I didn’t bring lipstick to school nor did I have any way to bring the finished product home, so I could only leave my plans at a standstill for now.
Xiao Qin saw me as I was putting the condoms into my backpack.
