I was not used to the overflowing sympathy the class leader had for me. I stared at the TV to watch the weather forecast after the news broadcast, while reaching into the fruit platter to find something to eat.
The dates were used to make white fungus and red date soup. I don't really like bananas, and I can't even look at peaches right now. There were still a lot of lychees left, but they needed to be peeled.
I suddenly remembered what the class leader said to me on the way to Xiao Qin's house.
I crossed my legs and acted like a rich young master. "If you really want to comfort me, then peel some lychees for me!"
Normally, the class leader would throw lychees at my nose, but now that she heard about my sad past, she felt that I was enduring the pain and pretending to be strong, so she uncharacteristically accommodated me. She really picked up a lychee from the platter and started peeling it.
Her nimble fingers cut open the hard shell of the lychee and she was very careful not to let the juice spill onto the outside of the platter. It didn't take long before the first white and tender lychee was peeled.
The class leader held the lychee with two fingers and signaled me with her eyes to go get it.
"I don't want to move, feed me!"
The reason why I teased the class leader to this extent was mainly to get revenge for her pretending to be my sister.
I have to let you know that it's not easy to be the sister of a Metal Blood Lone Wolf!
A sullen expression appeared on Shu Sha's face for a split second, but it was quickly dispelled by her gentle motherly nature. She sighed helplessly, raised the lychee in her hand, and tried not to touch me as she put it in my mouth.
I held the TV remote in one hand and placed the other on the sofa cushion. I didn't move at all, I only ate the fruit with my tongue and teeth.
"I'm done, I want to spit out the core!"
I said vaguely with the core in my mouth.
The class leader reached out her dazzling white hand and caught the core I spat out. Then she carefully threw it into a trash can that she folded out of old magazines.
She didn't need me to urge her and she started to peel another lychee.
I felt a surge of emotions as I peeked at her busy figure.
Did you provide this kind of service to your brother at home? I was just being willful and wanted to test the limits of your tolerance, but did you treat me like your brother?
Finally, it was the city's weather report. A female forecaster wearing a red suit announced with a face full of regret: From tonight until noon tomorrow, the air quality will be abnormally bad. The concentration of 'breathable particulate matter' will exceed 40 times the international standard. It is recommended that everyone wear masks when going out, and it's best not to exercise outdoors.
Maybe it's because the haze from Beijing blew over? The Emperor's grace is truly vast and boundless. Even a small city like ours is getting leftovers.
Xiao Qin had always thought that inhalable particles were harmless particles that could be inhaled, until the biology teacher told us that after these particles are inhaled into the lungs, they can't be excreted through normal metabolism. Over time, they can cause cancer.
Xiao Qin cried after she heard about it. She bought two masks at the pharmacy right after class and asked me to wear them. and asked me to wear them. I thought I looked too stupid, so I didn't wear my mask even when I faced the yellow sand that blew after school. Seeing that I didn't wear my mask, she also took off her mask.
"Did you say you are to to. Why are you taking off your mask? "
"If you don't wear it, then I won't wear it either. I don't want to live longer than you. If you die, what's the point of living alone …"
When another gust of dust blew over, she opened her mouth and inhaled as much as she could. She wanted to inhale more harmful particles so she could die before me.
I didn't have a choice but to put on the mask. Xiao Qin stopped sucking on the particles and happily formed a mask duo with me.
"It looks like a couple's outfit!"
Xiao Qin made a muffled sound through her white mask and giggled foolishly.
Since the air will be polluted tomorrow and it's quite far from DongShan Lake, it looks like I have to pause my routine run.
Would the old man in the kung fu shirt feel lonely if he couldn't see me tomorrow morning?
But air pollution is more harmful to the elderly, so gramps' morning exercise would probably be paused as well.
Whatever, let's not think about it for now.
I unknowingly ate three lychees the class leader peeled.
Humans are really lazy animals. I was a bit happy that I didn't have to run tomorrow. Now that the class leader was peeling lychees for me to enjoy, I knew it wasn't right to take advantage of her sympathy, but it was too comfortable and I couldn't stop.
Just one more, just one more … After I finished the fourth lychee the class leader was peeling, I didn't want to eat anymore …
I was a bit anxious when I bit the last lychee and almost bit the class leader's hand. Right when I was chewing on the flesh and greedily sucking in the sweet juice, Xiao Qin's gloomy face suddenly appeared from behind the sofa.
"I only let you guys be alone for a while and you're already feeding each other! I'm afraid you'll have to feed each other mouth to mouth in a bit! "
She was full of resentment, as if she was a ghost that crawled up from the depths of hell.
The class leader jumped up from the sofa. Her face turned green as if she saw Sadako. It took her a while to realize that the short-haired girl with both hands on the back of the sofa was Xiao Qin, so she steadied herself.
"Ah — — you scared me, when did you come out of the bedroom? Didn't you say you wanted to be alone for a while because you were reminiscing about your sad past? "
I was even more miserable than the class leader. I almost swallowed the lychee I was halfway through and got stuck in the core.
I beat my chest and coughed for a while before I spat out the core and escaped.
Xiao Qin was still clinging to the sofa like a resentful ghost and shot a resentful gaze at the class leader:
"Class leader, didn't you say that puppy love is harmful? Why did you start whispering sweet nothings with Ye Lin classmate when I wasn't here? "
"I …"
I'm not sure if she was scared by Xiao Qin's Sadako form, but the class leader was speechless for a while.
"You were the one who wanted to drive Ye Lin classmate home, and now you're also the one who's feeding him lychees … class leader, why are you so fickle!"
Shu Sha took a deep breath and finally calmed down a bit.
"Peeling lychees was only a way to comfort him! There was no other meaning! And I wasn't the one who peeled them for him, he was the one who requested it! "
"Huh? You did it just because Ye Lin classmate requested it? Then if he asked you to comfort him in other ways, would you also do it? "
"How is that possible …"
Ah, I can almost see the class leader's white fighting spirit being completely suppressed by Xiao Qin's black fighting spirit. On one side, there's no way to explain herself, and on the other side, there's jealousy and hatred … It seems like the class leader's attribute as a Justice Devil is getting weaker and weaker recently. Does she lose her footing in battle once her actions are in the wrong?
Are you a Holy Samurai in the DND setting? Do you lose God's blessing if you do bad things and you can't even use Evil Vanquishing Slash?
But what bad things did you do? I'm not an evil demon king, why do you have to suffer divine punishment for peeling lychees for me?
Xiao Qin was still unrelenting:
"Class leader, you were clearly moved when you heard about my tragic past … Why do you have to take Ye Lin classmate away from me?"
Ah, you still have the face to say that. I still haven't settled the score with you for making up a brother!
Speaking up to this point, I suddenly noticed the class leader's white fighting spirit suddenly surged and her body was even straighter than before.
There was no longer any hesitation between her brows and her black eyes emitted a gaze that could cut through steel.
"Xiao Qin, your abnormal love for Ye Lin is wrong!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Qin was not used to the class leader's sudden toughness.
"I don't care if you want to hear it or not, I'm going to say it: the person you like isn't Ye Lin! You can't make a stupid promise to repay him with your entire life because of guilt! You'll harm yourself and Ye Lin won't feel happy! "
"Huh?"
"You still don't understand? You still have a picture of his brother on your bed, not Ye Lin's! You clearly like his brother, why are you using Ye Lin as a substitute!? "
This righteous scolding made Xiao Qin speechless.
The black fighting spirit that was originally wrapped around Xiao Qin's body and was filled with all the negative emotions in the world gradually disappeared.
After a while, Xiao Qin raised her hand while trembling and asked to speak.
"Speak!"
The class leader ordered with her hands on her hips.
"Class leader … That photo isn't of Ye Lin's brother …"
"Huh? Now you're saying it isn't? Then who do you think the photo is? "
"It's … it's Ye Lin's photo! The stories I told you were all lies! Ye Lin never had a brother! "
Xiao Qin finally realized the consequences of her lies and tearfully begged the class leader to believe her.
The class leader glanced at me and made a gesture to show that she didn't need to refute it.
That's right! Only a ghost would believe Xiao Qin now that you're saying it's my photo! I don't look like the shota in the photo at all. The class leader also heard your story and had a preconceived impression, so she must think you're trying to deny the truth!
"It's true! Class leader! Ye Lin classmate was really cute when he was a kid! I've always liked him! "
"Then how do you explain his attitude towards you?"
"Huh?"
"If his brother didn't go missing, why would he treat you so badly?"
"That's because …"
Xiao Qin opened her mouth wide and couldn't finish her sentence. She always used the Little Tyrant's Iron Fist to bully me and it was something she wanted to forget. She couldn't tell anyone, especially not the class leader.
"Come with me! Let's go to your bedroom and have a good chat! "
Once she was shrouded in the light of justice, the class leader's vigor and stamina were greatly increased. She grabbed Xiao Qin's collar with both hands and dragged her into the bedroom. Then she used her waist to close the door.
"Don't eavesdrop!"
The class leader ordered me through the door.
Although the class leader couldn't see, I still subconsciously lowered my head and made an obedient action.
I was shocked when I realized this. Since when did the class leader evolve me into her loyal dog through carrots and threats?
In order to counteract the bad influence the class leader had on me, I switched to the sports channel and watched the replay of the China men's soccer team's loss.
Look, look at the expressions of defeat on these men's faces! It's not scary to lose once, it's scary to keep losing! I'll definitely win next time!
Deep down, I don't really understand why I lost and I don't know how to win back in the future.
I just hope there won't be any more trouble tonight.
