“Not yet, I still have to grab the box…”


Halfway through, I was involuntarily pulled out of the bedroom by Xiao Qin.


What is this sorcery? Why does it feel like Xiao Qin was not using brute force to take me away, but subtly making me lose my balance so that I had to take a step myself?


Every time I took a step, every change that took place in my posture was exploited by Xiao Qin. She guided me like flowing water, as if I was dreaming and led me to the entrance hall step by step.


Thankfully, I was only wearing socks, the bathroom was filled with the sounds of running water, so Auntie Ren was not able to hear any movement outside.


But even if I was wearing thick-soled boots, I think that Xiao Qin had the ability to remove the force I would exert on the floor, and thus not make any noise.


Is this also martial arts? It’s so strange! It’s giving me gooseb.u.mps!


I heard that Auntie Ren came from an influential martial arts family, she was ridiculed by her seniors when she went to do MMA. They said that she did not learn the exquisite martial art handed down through her family, but went to learn the mishmash MMA, it really shamed their ancestors.


Later, Auntie Ren became the MMA world champion, but those seniors were still dissatisfied. They said Auntie Ren only won because she learned some superficial knowledge pa.s.sed down through the family and the MMA world champion was still a long way gone from becoming number one.


As for the senior that said this, no one knows what exactly number one is.


Having said that, what Xiao Qin used earlier definitely was not a move in MMA. Was this the martial art that was pa.s.sed down in the family? Just the superficial knowledge was already so chilling? Why didn’t she use it on me when she was the Little Tyrant?


It wasn’t that difficult to understand just by thinking for a bit. At that time, I was below her in terms of both height and strength. She did not need to use this advanced skill to deal with me.


I immediately fell into a deep sense of inferiority.


I don’t know if I can use the Berserker mode to win against the current Xiao Qin.


Although I had no reason to fight with her… even if I did want to fight, Xiao Qin would not get serious.


Bullying a girl that’ll throw the match, I haven’t fallen that far yet.


Xiao Qin pulled me away while whispering in my ear:


“You go wear your shoes first, I’ll bring the box out to you.”


I was worried and said that I’ll go in to get it myself.


“Stop being obstinate, Ye Lin cla.s.smate, time is tight!”


You knew that time was tight and yet you still asked for a toll? It felt good having my tongue stuffed in, huh? Serves you right!


It was an inappropriate time to reflect on the taste of Xiao Qin’s lips.


I found my shoes on the carpet of the foyer, I don’t know when Xiao Qin found the time to bring it here.


I was still a bit hesitant, I didn’t know whether I should go back to get the box or not.


Seeing the expression on my face, Xiao Qin half swore and half-threatened me:


“I’ll be responsible for bringing the box out! I’m telling you now, since my mom thinks that I’m the only one here, she doesn’t wear clothes right after taking a shower! Ye Lin cla.s.smate if you dilly-dally so much, do you actually want to see my mom naked?”


Who wants to see Auntie Ren naked! You’re treating me as too much of a pervert! I was already embarra.s.sed by hearing Auntie Ren taking a shower!


I could only crouch down and tie my laces with a red face.


Xiao Qin went back into the bedroom to get the box as she promised. Maybe because I was anxious and nervous that it felt like she took quite some time in there.


Finally, Xiao Qin wobbled out hugging the box.


She was walking very slowly while making heavy breathing sounds like that box was heavy or something.


Stop acting! Give me that d.a.m.n box!


“Ahh!”


It seemed the box blocked Xiao Qin’s view, she was tripped by the sofa leg. She fell onto the sofa and dropped the box.


My heart almost jumped out.


A fake trip! A real-life fake trip! It was even faker than Rooney’s and Ronaldo’s! Where’s the referee, quickly blow the whistle and give the red card! (TN: What about Neymar Jr.)


“Xiao Qin, what’s wrong?”


Auntie Ren’s voice came from the bathroom.


“Wuu~~nothing, I just tripped…”


Xiao Qin lifted her face and answered her mom’s question while spitting out her tongue at me and acting cute.


I couldn’t help but want to choke her to death.


I’ll ruthlessly strangle you, at that time you can stick out your tongue as long as you want!


Fortunately, the box was sealed tight, so the toys in the box didn’t spill out.


Xiao Qin climbed up from the sofa, hugged the box, and wobbled towards me again.


“Hah, hah~”


Could you not make so many sounds, the box isn’t even heavy! Stop pretending to be a porter! Even if you were a porter you would be the Popeye type!


Xiao Qin finally slowly walked in front of me and reluctantly handed the box over.


“Ye Lin cla.s.smate, can I go see them later?”


She was speaking like the box was filled with her children.


“No! Bad people like you don’t have visitation rights! Stop dreaming!”


Xiao Qin whimpered like a kitten or puppy that was bullied.


Because I was shouldering a bag and was holding the box with both my hands, it was difficult to open the door. I was afraid that I would make too much noise because I wasn’t familiar with Auntie Ren’s door lock.


So I ordered Xiao Qin to help me open the door.


Although she was reluctant, she still opened the security door, allowing me to safely leave.


After I closed the door, Auntie Ren seemed to have said something to Xiao Qin, but I couldn’t hear it.


I had no need to hear it.


I left the dragon’s den and rescued the hostages that have been kidnapped or many years, I finally realized.


As I walked in the middle of some lilac tree, I thought that Xiao Qin’s behavior wasn’t too bad today. At least she gave brother Optimus Prime back to me.


But this meant that she was useless now, I won’t be blackmailed by her anymore.


I couldn’t help but hum the moving opening from “Fist of Legend”.


The sky was getting dark, I really wasted a lot of time at Xiao Qin’s place.


I suddenly thought of something, Xiao Qin wouldn’t have done something to the box when getting it for me, right? Like taking Optimus Prime out or something?


I shook my head, although Xiao Qin took some time, it wasn’t long enough to the point where she could unseal the box then reseal it again.


Also, if she ripped the tape off the box, it would have made a large sound and I would’ve heard it.


Besides, I remembered the weight of the box, it didn’t change. When I shook it, the sound of the robots and the foam rubbing was the exact same.


Time to take the subway!


I tried my best to suppress the joy in my heart. I haven’t liked robot toys since I was 14 years old.


When I entered the subway for security screening, the security inspector scanned my box and made a strange expression.


What’s so strange! Is it strange for a person of my age to carry a box of robot toys? I’m going to give it to my little brother or nephew!


The people on the subway platform were also very rude and kept looking at my box.


I hugged the box tighter in order to prevent someone from s.n.a.t.c.hing brother Optimus Prime.


Thinking of it, when I was younger, I directed a seven-part play “The Liberation of Cybertron” on the chessboard at home, though I’ve only got up to the third part.


Should I let brother Optimus Prime make a comeback and finish this seven-part play?


But it’s a bit childish, right? Although I still remember the plot…


After sitting on the subway, many people looked at my box as well. A male-female pair pointed at me and snickered from afar.


What’s so funny! After your children watch the “Cybertron Seven-part Play” I directed and see the degree I imitated the plot, you’ll regret laughing at me!


I went home puzzled.


Dad was eating noodles, judging by his appearance, he probably thought that I wouldn’t come back for dinner today.


Speaking truthfully, after getting this box of toys, I don’t feel like eating. I was only thinking about how to finish the “Cybertron Seven Part Play”.


My dad must have seen through me.


He put down his chopsticks, swallowed the noodles, raised his eyebrows and asked:


“Xiao Lin? Why are you holding a box of tampons so happily?”


T-tampons!?


I turned the box around and saw that the front of the box really said “extra-large, leak-proof, scientific, sleep well”, there was also a huge picture of a tampon as if they were afraid that no one knew what was inside.


No wonder everyone was looking at me!


No, no! The box that Xiao Qin first gave me didn’t have a tampon on it, it was a picture of instant noodles!


Did Xiao Qin pull a switcheroo on me?


I didn’t answer my dad and rushed into my room, I didn’t even use a knife and ripped open the box with my bare hands.


The box was filled with foam.


But brother Optimus Prime wasn’t inside, let alone him, none of the robot toys were there.


The box was filled with photos of Xiao Qin, at least 20.


Every single photo had a wooden frame, the type that was convenient to be placed on a desk.


It seems like the photos were taken this month, every single one was full of smiles, eyes full of expectation for a happy life.


My heart dropped.


Ah, what purpose do I have for living!


Xiao Qin, what are you trying to pull? Just because you had a photo of me on your dressing table, did you also want me to pick a photo and put it in my room?


If I placed these 20 photos in my room, I would have 40 eyes like this staring at me and I could say goodbye to sleep.


I was tricked again.


Not only did I not rescue brother Optimus Prime, I was forcibly given 20 of Xiao Qin’s photos.


I wouldn’t even know how to explain it if my dad discovered them.


I could only reseal it with tape and stuff it into the farthest place under the bed.


That d.a.m.n Xiao Qin!


I’m definitely going to continue bullying her at school! I’m going to bully her until she cries!
