I noticed the cla.s.s leader and Shu Zhe were pretty much wearing matching couples outfits.


They had a plain white shirt on top, paired with a pair of navy blue skinny jeans.


The white shirt looked very similar to our school’s summer uniform, and you could not tell the difference if you did not look carefully. Under the contrast of the white shirt, the cla.s.s leader’s long hair seemed even darker and softer. The treatments to to the edges of her aged jeans gave her a seldom seen wild aura, but as soon as the feminine pearl chained bag she was carrying was revealed, that wild aura was completely neutralized.


After seeing the resolute cla.s.s leader carrying a bag even more feminine than Xiao Qin’s Mickey Mouse bag, I could not hold back and laughed.


“What’s so funny!” The cla.s.s leader was originally embarra.s.sed about the bag, so she raised her voice to hide her awkwardness, “I need a bag to carry things, right? The backpack I use for school is too big, so I could only use this… I got it as a gift from my mom, so it would be a waste if I didn’t use it…”


Xiao Qin, who was reclined against me, was initially not happy when she saw the cla.s.s leader because she knew her 5 minutes was up. But she remembered her plan to act dumb in front of the cla.s.s leader, so she walked next to her and gave an enthusiastic greeting while complimenting her bag.


“It clearly suits the cla.s.s leader! If you wore a skirt and high heels, we would be an even better match!”


I had suspicions about Xiao Qin’s intentions. It was as if she wanted the cla.s.s leader to dress like those rich and unruly ojousan from shoujo manga.


Keep dreaming! Compared to the hardworking cla.s.s leader, you are the one who is closer to an ojousan since you treat cutting sea cuc.u.mbers as cutting tofu.


Xiao Qin only said a few lines with the cla.s.s leader. When Shu Zhe came following from behind unwillingly while playing his phone, Xiao Qin immediately closed her mouth and hid behind my back nervously.


“Are you even afraid of the cla.s.s leader’s brother?” I took Xiao Qin a bit further away and asked, “Look, don’t you think he looks a bit effeminate? Is that okay?”


Xiao Qin nodded a bit and said quietly: “Actually, I would tremble even if I stared at Li YuChun or Zeng YiKe for too long….” (TN: Female celebrities who looks like dudes…)


It made me realize: So you distinguish between genders by face? No wonder when you went berserk last time against the five tiger punishment squad, you were not able to recognize me. You were probably scared to the point where the facial recognition part of your brain was shut off, and you only woke up after I called your name.


Although Shu Zhe and the cla.s.s leader were wearing the same uniform, Shu Zhe did not have any heroic spirit. He was squinting because of the intense afternoon sun, and he was only focused on playing with his white touchscreen phone.


“We should stay home on a day like this…” Shu Zhe complained to his sister. He raised his head and saw me talking with Xiao Qin, then he furrowed his brows and reflexively used one of his hand to cover half his b.u.t.t.


“Okay, okay, can you just think of it as accompanying your sister?” There were many people walking to and from the theater, so the cla.s.s leader involuntarily went to hold her brother’s hand as if she was afraid he would get lost in the crowd. But Shu Zhe avoided her hand.


“I’m not a kid anymore! It’s embarra.s.sing enough that I came out dressed in this unfashionable outfit with you! If you like holding hands, then go find a boyfriend!”


The cla.s.s leader looked a bit disappointed, but she did not fight and just silently withdrew her hand.


I was dissatisfied with the way Shu Zhe treats his sister. Seeing he was only interested in using his phone, I asked: “Did your parents buy that cellphone for you?”


Shu Zhe was still a bit afraid of me, “No… no, I bought it myself.”


“You bought it yourself? Where did you get the money? Did you sister approve of you buying a phone?”


Shu Zhe started to get impatient after I asked so many questions, “Brother Ye Lin, why do you care! I had to live frugally for a while to save my allowance! I know our school’s rules, that’s why I don’t bring it to school and use it outside, is there anything wrong with that! Also, since I have a cellphone, my sister is happy that she could contact me anytime!”


I looked at the cla.s.s leader’s expression and she was still affected by Shu Zhe’s rejection. She was not in the mood to speak, and she only nodded in agreement.


Shu Zhe, you make it sound dignified, but you probably only use the phone to flirt with your girlfriend, right? When your sister actually looks for you, you might shut off your phone because you don’t want your sister nagging you!


Also, you know how to live frugally? How come I don’t believe you can live frugally? Although you get more allowance than me, don’t you spend it like water on your girlfriend?


I keep thinking the money was not earned properly.


I left Xiao Qin with the cla.s.s leader and took Shu Zhe to the side. I asked him if he was selling his sister’s underwear again, and he looked at me with disdain and said proudly:


“I’m a person who keeps their word! You’re the one who took her underwear without paying! Since my sister already raised my allowance, and I’ve made a promise to not profit off of her, I will never do it again! As for the way I’m making money now… I’m not going to lie, I’ve found a better way! It doesn’t take advantage of my sister, and I only need to sit in front of the computer every day and send a couple of messages —— aren’t I great?”


Because they occasionally had video chats with their parents who were far away, they had a computer that could go online. I heard the cla.s.s leader gives Shu Zhe one hour of free time on the internet every day after he finishes his homework.


“Earning money online?” I expressed my suspicions, “Are you an internet commentator, like Sister Feng’s hype team where they pay you ¥0.50 for every post?”


“How would I earn enough money to buy a cellphone if I did that! Just don’t ask anymore. If I teach someone else the method, then I won’t be able to make anymore money!”


It was almost time to enter the theater, and the sweaty Eunuch Cao was finally able to catch his breath after we walked into the cool theater. He kept on complaining that people are not supposed to ride the subway on weekends.


I laughed: “Who told you to bring such a large bag? Even the cla.s.s leader dressed lightly with a small mini-bag.” The cla.s.s leader raised her fist like she wanted to hit me, but I was not afraid since her fighting power was significantly lower when compared to even Loud Mouth.


“Disciple, what’s inside that big bag of yours? Food? Loud Mouth is going to regret that she didn’t come!”


Eunuch Cao quickly hid the bag behind his back after it looked like I was going to inspect it, then he said: “It’s nothing important, I’ll let you see later, but now’s not the time.”


It’s not the time? Is it because there are girls here!


I don’t even need to ask, it’s definitely not something good. Maybe he brought a fake mouse after I told him the cla.s.s leader is afraid of mice. Then he would record her scream so he can take it home and use it to daydream!
