Chapter 725: Drink Black Tea Every Day
The pale Zhuang Ni was wearing a rather vintage-style black dress and, of course, black stockings that were almost always on her legs. She stood in front of the cla.s.s leader’s house holding a gift box.
When she looked past the cla.s.s leader, the first things she saw was me sitting on the sofa.
“That guy… what’s he doing here.”
The cla.s.s leader was probably displeased with Zhuang Ni calling me “that guy” as she blocked the door and had no intention of letting Zhuang Ni enter.
“I invited Ye Lin to try out some new recipe that Cai Cai learned.” The cla.s.s leader crossed her arms together in front of her chest with an att.i.tude of refusal, which would have been more effective if she wasn’t wearing an ap.r.o.n.
When the cla.s.s leader mentioned my name, Zhuang Ni’s brow twitched, as if hearing a man’s name would dirty her ears.
The obvious disgust certainly did not escape the eyes of the cla.s.s leader, who continued to block the doorway. She frowned and said:
“Instead of asking why Ye Lin is here, you should be asking yourself why are you here?”
Zhuang Ni was not shocked at all by the cla.s.s leader’s indifference, but replied naturally in a calm tone, “I came to be a guest.”
The cla.s.s leader was still hostile to Zhuang Ni: “But I didn’t invite you.”
Zhuang Ni was the arts committee member, but ever since she stopped attending school from the second year, she caused a lot of trouble for everyone, mainly in the form of pestering the cla.s.s leader.
If the cla.s.s leader was criticized by the head teacher because of the increased tardiness of cla.s.s 2-3 students and they lack discipline, Zhuang Ni would mail utility knife pieces to threaten the head teacher. Although she used an anonymous letter, the head teacher immediately guessed that it was her doing, and in the end the whole cla.s.s had points deducted, so the cla.s.s leader was still unlucky.
In addition, Zhuang Ni also swindled Gong CaiCai, saying that ma.s.saging the chest can play a role in weight loss and breast reduction. She tricked Gong CaiCai to a hotel opened by her own relatives, then shamelessly had her fun.
Not to mention that at the Cui Song Mountain picnic, Zhuang Ni, in order to achieve personal goals, instigated Xiao Qin to climb through the window and tied up the cla.s.s leader. Zhuang Ni is also to blame for the series of events that happened afterward.
The most unforgivable part for the cla.s.s leader was when Zhuang Ni rejoiced over my disappearance. Before returning to the city, she probably said “my curse is in effect” and other vicious words.
The relationship between the two of them is now a bit stiff, especially since Gong CaiCai was still in the kitchen watching the stove. Zhuang Ni did not only want to be a lesbian couple with the cla.s.s leader, but also wanted to be a lesbian couple with Gong CaiCai. The cla.s.s leader blocked the door to keep Zhuang Ni from coming in partially to protect Gong CaiCai.
“But I brought a gift.” Zhuang Ni used a lot of effort to raise the gift box in her hand for the cla.s.s leader to see clearly, “So you should forgive me for coming uninvited because of the gift.”
Both the cla.s.s leader and I saw that it was an exquisite European-style tea set containing a teapot and four teacups. It was made out of porcelain and had a gold trim, it was elegant and n.o.ble and exuded an aura of n.o.bility.
The cla.s.s leader, as a veteran chef, was very fond of kitchen equipment. At the barbecue at the top of Cui Song Mountain, she was very interested in the foldable chopping board brought by Loud Mouth. Tea sets were the same to the cla.s.s leader as kitchen utensils and it would be a great gift to the cla.s.s leader, it’s clear that Zhuang Ni put a lot of thought into the gift.
But when the cla.s.s leader saw this very expensive gift, her face became very unpleasant: “Cai Cai is in my house, but you’re actually giving me porcelain…”
Are you worried about Gong CaiCai breaking the tea set? Gong CaiCai, in the eyes of a careful and frugal person, only has the ident.i.ty of a “porcelain destroyer”?
Zhuang Ni lifted the gift tea set up high place for about 15 seconds, then lowered it because of a lack of strength. She also wobbled as if she couldn’t stand steadily, so the cla.s.s leader was very worried about the tea set in Zhuang Ni’s hands falling and breaking.
“I have to drink black tea every afternoon, so I can’t go to a place that doesn’t have a tea set.” Zhuang Ni explained, “I’ll give you a tea set, cla.s.s leader, so I can come as a guest more often in the future.”
“Nonsense.” The cla.s.s leader refuted Zhuang Ni while she could no longer maintain the cold posture of crossing her arms, because she had to be ready to help Zhuang Ni at any time, so that the expensive tea set would not fall to pieces in front of her house.
“When you went to Cui Song Mountain, I didn’t see you bring a tea set. I thought you were quite good since you were able to instigate Xiao Qin and also curse Ye Lin.”
“Black tea is red.” Zhuang Ni said randomly.
“What?” The cla.s.s leader naturally did not understand.
“It’s because it looks like blood, so I drink it every day.” Zhuang Ni, who had a thick layer of dark circles under her eyes due to lack of sleep, said in a flat tone, “When there is no black tea, you can use a knife to make a small cut on your wrist and drink some of your own blood instead.”
Her left wrist was speckled with tiny, unhealed scars that seemed to indicate that her words were not a lie.
“Even if you wanted to drink black tea, there was no need to bring such an expensive tea set.” The cla.s.s leader looked sheepishly in the direction of the kitchen, as if she was afraid that Gong CaiCai, who heard the noise, would come out, and that any porcelain less than two meters away from Gong CaiCai would be in danger.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not, I just picked a tea set with a very unique pattern so that it’s easy to distinguish from other tea sets.” Zhuang Ni said very solemnly, “I hope that this tea set will be placed in the cla.s.s leader’s home and not used by any man. If it’s you and Gong CaiCai, then please use them as much as possible.”
“From a hygienic point of view, your request is unjustified.” The cla.s.s leader looked at another bamboo tea set placed on the small table in the corner, “All the non-disposable dining utensils in my house are repeatedly wiped and disinfected by me after each use, so there is no way that any dirt or germs are left behind.”
“What is contaminated by men can never be washed away.” Zhuang Ni didn’t care that I was still sitting on the couch and made her usual point, “If you entertain any man with this new tea set, including that disgusting brother of yours…”
“Take back your words.” The cla.s.s leader immediately glared at Zhuang Ni, “If you say that about Xiao Zhe again, I’ll really lock you out.”
“Okay…” the corner of Zhuang Ni’s mouth rose into a sarcastic smile, “I can stop talking about your baby brother, only if you don’t let him use our tea set.”
“Otherwise, if this tea set has been used by a man…” Zhuang Ni’s eyes seemed to burn with a fire, “It can’t fool me. I will find out when I drink tea, that would make me immediately break the tea cup, then every time I come to visit, I’ll bring a new tea set for you.”
“Where do you get so much money to buy tea sets.” The cla.s.s leader said angrily, “Wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on something more meaningful.”
Zhuang Ni’s voice was gloomy, like the sound of a river flowing in the underworld.
“If a person is not even afraid to die, then getting a tea set is easy…”
Hey, hey, don’t tell me you put a knife on the neck of the tea set store owner and forced them to give you the tea set, right?
Considering the cla.s.s leader’s future plans to be a police officer, she will never accept stolen goods, so the more likely scenario is that you enter the tea store and cut open your arm, then you threatened to die in their store if they didn’t give you a satisfactory tea set.
That is the same as stolen goods, okay? If you keep it up, you can go around the world without money, since you have no money, but you do have your life to give up. However, before someone even wants to take your life, you would take the initiative to take your own life.
What are you waiting for, cla.s.s leader, as a future police officer, hurry up and search Zhuang Ni! Don’t let a dangerous person with a knife inside! What if there’s something wrong with her brain and she suddenly takes out a knife to mutilate herself? Who will be responsible if I get a heart attack and get scared to death!
“Hey, Zhuang Ni cla.s.smate also came.” Gong CaiCai came out from the kitchen to get a drink of water and saw Zhuang Ni standing at the doorway.
The cla.s.s leader should know that it was not realistic to drive away Zhuang Ni once Gong CaiCai saw her. In the first year, Gong Cai Cai, who was good at calligraphy, and Zhuang Ni, who was good at drawing, were in charge of the cla.s.s blackboard together and cooperated for a long time, so the two have always had a good relationship. Even when Gong CaiCai found out later Zhuang Ni tricked her to the hotel to feel her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, she didn’t really get mad.
If the cla.s.s leader drove away Zhuang Ni, whom Gong CaiCai regarded as a good friend, it would hurt Gong CaiCai’s feelings.
“Come in.” The cla.s.s leader said somewhat nonchalantly, “But if you have a utility knife with you, hand it over to me right now.”
Zhuang Ni glanced at me, who was on the sofa, with overflowing disgust, then turned to the cla.s.s leader and said, “I originally did not know that Ye Lin was here, I only came for you and Cai Cai, so how could I bring a knife? If you don’t believe me, I can go to your bedroom and strip naked for you to check.”
The cla.s.s leader blushed, “What the h.e.l.l are you talking about, stand still, I’ll search you now.”
Zhuang Ni saw the cla.s.s leader reach over to search herself through his clothes, but did not panic, instead she handed the tea set in her hand to Gong CaiCai.
Gong CaiCai was wearing gla.s.ses and her lenses were fogged up by the steam. She did not see what Zhuang Ni handed over was fragile porcelain and subconsciously reached out to take it.
“Careful.”
The cla.s.s leader panicked and grabbed the tea set into her hand first, so as to avoid Gong CaiCai’s “porcelain destroyer” pa.s.sive skill to instantly activate and reduce the valuable tea set into a pile of broken pieces.
Zhuang Ni took advantage of the time while the cla.s.s leader was holding the tea set and thinking about a safe location to hide it to run into the room. She quickly changed into slippers and she did not look like a person who claims to have leukemia.
Gong CaiCai also saw clearly that just now Zhuang Ni wanted to hand her a ceramic tea set, so she couldn’t help but tremble and have some lingering fears.
“Zhuang Ni, how can you let me touch those things, what if I break it…”
Zhuang Ni did not answer Gong CaiCai’s question, but without warning covered her forehead with her right hand and pretended to be dizzy.
“Ah… suddenly a little dizzy…”
She stumbled a bit and pretended to fall forward, but her left hand touched the side side of one of Gong CaiCai’s peaks which she used as support to stabilize herself.
“Luckily I have Cai Cai to help me.” Zhuang Ni said to Gong CaiCai after she grabbed onto her b.r.e.a.s.t.s without any restraints.
