"Class leader, don't you want to practice your spoken English? Class leader, let's go to the gardener's hut for some happy English time! "
Xiao Qin ran to room 222 to find the class leader before Shu Zhe even finished showering. Of course, she was wearing Qing Zi High School's uniform. She had already hidden Diary Hero's hoodie.
Even though Xiao Qin's identity as a Diary Hero was no longer a secret to the class leader, it seems like Xiao Qin didn't plan on being honest with the class leader. She still wanted to play dumb.
Xiao Qin proposed to spend the night with the class leader in the gardener's hut. She wanted to use this opportunity to pry out the class leader's secrets, otherwise Xiao Qin felt it would be unfair to her.
Whether it was because she wanted to improve her spoken English or to thank Xiao Qin for helping her out at the park, the class leader had no reason to reject Xiao Qin's invitation.
"Alright then. As for the bedding, I've already dried it yesterday just in case. You only need to bring some personal toiletries."
"Hehe (̄ ▽ ̄) ̄" Xiao Qin laughed innocently, "When it's just the two of us in the gardener's hut, we have to go into strict English time. All daily conversations can only be in English, do you have any objections?"
"No objections, of course not! That's how I can improve! "
It seems like the class leader was quite confident in her English vocabulary. If it was me, I would probably become a mute and rely on hand gestures to get by.
I originally thought Xiao Qin's so-called prying for secrets would at most be a roundabout way, similar to how aunties pry into their privacy. I never expected Xiao Qin to be so upfront. She openly asked the class leader questions in English and even called it 'practicing spoken English'.
When I came to class the next day, both Xiao Qin and the class leader were a bit dispirited. Under my questioning, Xiao Qin explained to me:
Last night, after the two girls settled down in the gardener's hut, Xiao Qin told the class leader to sit across from her and asked her questions in English.
“What’s your name？”
(What's your name?) “My name is ShuSha.”
(My name is Shu Sha.) This was the simplest English conversation, even I could handle it. At most, it was just a warm-up. Xiao Qin gradually increased the difficulty. The class leader would occasionally pause, but she gradually got into the groove. The immediate results made the class leader happy.
Then Xiao Qin slightly lowered the difficulty of the vocabulary, but increased the speed of the question and answer.
Although this wasn't the class leader's daily English training, there was no need to stop since it was a rare opportunity, so he continued to follow Xiao Qin's questions and answers.
"Do you have any shameful secrets?"
When the speed of their conversation reached its peak, Xiao Qin suddenly asked this question in English.
“No！” The class leader blinked in surprise and replied, "I don't have a skeleton in my closet!"
"What? You hid the skeleton in your wardrobe!? " Xiao Qin immediately jumped up to check the wardrobe in the gardener's bedroom. In the end, there were only a few emergency changes of clothes the class leader used. There was nothing suspicious.
The class leader sat on the bed and said awkwardly: "Um, isn't 'I don't have skeletons in my closet' slang for 'I don't have any secrets'? Don't tell me you don't know? If I remember correctly, you seem to use even more obscure slang when you talk to foreigners, right? "
"Hmm, not bad." Xiao Qin took the opportunity to check the class leader's wardrobe and sat down in front of the class leader again, "I was just joking, let's continue our English conversation! You have to be as fast as possible and don't give yourself time to think, that way your fluency in a foreign language can be comparable to your mother tongue! "
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Qin's encouraging words infected the class leader. The class leader clenched her fists on her knees and prepared herself.
"What's the shape of the sun?"
"It's round."
"What's the color of the setting sun?"
"It's red."
"Isn't it green?"
"It's not green, I've never seen a green sun."
(Hmph, that's because you've never been a professional appraiser! Tang Maru, a professional appraiser, only sees a green sun, he's never seen a red sun!) Xiao Qin continuously used simple and irrelevant questions to distract the class leader. After the class leader became used to answering questions, she immediately asked a sensitive and private question:
"Class leader, do you have a secret ancestral method for your breasts to be so big?"
"I, I really don't …"
"Perverted Ye Lin classmate must have been very proud when he aimed at your breasts in class!"
"How could that be! … Did Ye Lin really do that? "
(Who would stare at the class leader's breasts in class! Xiao Qin, don't use speaking as an excuse. You're purposely trying to lower my reputation with the class leader!) "Don't get distracted and continue speaking in English! Foreigners will also ask a lot of embarrassing questions! You have to be prepared! Where did you hide your double-barreled shotgun? Can it still fire normally? "
"It's temporarily at my uncle's. Both of us pay attention to maintaining our guns, so it should be able to fire normally …"
"Are you going to kill me with that gun?"
"Of course not! Xiao Qin, why would you ask such a question? "
"Even if you're going to steal it from me, you won't kill me?"
"I, I didn't say I'm going to steal it from you … and no matter what, I won't use violence …"
Although the class leader made a solemn promise, Xiao Qin crossed her legs and placed her hands on her knees with a face full of disbelief.
"What do you want your first child's last name?"
It was still a question full of traps.
"I, I don't know." The class leader blushed, "I didn't think that much …"
"Is a hippopotamus amphibian?"
"No!"
"Who said the saying 'knowledge is power'?"
"It was said by French bacon!"
"Eh? There really is someone called Bacon! Don't tell me the bacon in the 'bacon ham and eggs' is to commemorate this guy? "
"I don't think so." The class leader was a bit tired under Xiao Qin's bombardment of illogical questions.
"Last question for today: class leader, do you like Ye Lin?"
The class leader did not meekly answer this time, instead, she asked back: "What about you, Xiao Qin? Do you like Ye Lin? "
Since the two girls used a language other than their mother tongue to converse, it actually made it easier to say the words that were normally difficult to say.
"Of course I like Ye Lin classmate!" Xiao Qin raised her head and replied proudly in Chinese, "Ye Lin classmate is the most important person to me in this world! I would die without Ye Lin classmate! Class leader, would you die without Ye Lin classmate? "
Seeing that Xiao Qin started speaking in Chinese, the class leader also stopped answering in English.
"I, I haven't reached that point, Xiao Qin, you're …"
"Hmph, you clearly know I would die without Ye Lin classmate, yet you still want to take him away from me!"
Xiao Qin probably forgot her original goal and became more and more agitated.
Facing Xiao Qin's questioning tone and piercing gaze, the class leader was speechless. After a while, she finally replied: "I know you two are childhood friends, it would be a very romantic thing if you two could be together … I still have my own family and career, I won't take away what you only have …"
Xiao Qin was originally prepared to argue with the class leader, but seeing how easily the class leader backed down, she lost her temper.
"Eh? Class leader, you're saying it like I don't have a family or a career — — I clearly care about my mom and dad, and I also put in a lot of effort to raise my manga level to the master level! "
"Cough, my throat is a bit dry, I'll go get some water." The class leader wanted to change the topic, "Xiao Qin, do you want some?"
"Well, I'll have some, too."
When the class leader walked over with two glasses, Xiao Qin refused the one the class leader handed to her and instead insisted on exchanging with the one the class leader brought to her mouth.
"But this is the cup I usually use." The OCD class leader said awkwardly, "The cup I gave you is for guests, I already sterilized it …"
"No!" Xiao Qin yelled as she slapped the bed, "What if you poisoned me? What if you said you wouldn't steal Ye Lin classmate from me, but you actually poisoned me with arsenic + Crane's Crown + Intestine Severing Powder. I would bleed from all seven orifices after drinking it, how pitiful would that be! "
"Why would I have poison?" The class leader didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only endure the torment of her OCD and exchange the cup with Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin held the cup in her hand but didn't drink it. She waited until the class leader finished half of the other cup before gulping down the one in her hand.
"No matter what, thank you for helping me and Xiao Zhe today."
The class leader said to Xiao Qin after she put away the cup.
"What does it have to do with me!" Xiao Qin played dumb, "Didn't the Diarist hero save you? It seems like he's interested in you, so why don't you guys just stay together forever! That way you won't be alone when I get married with Ye Lin classmate … "
The class leader burst out laughing when she heard Xiao Qin say that.
"Xiao Qin, do you think I should marry the Diarist hero? Isn't he afraid of committing bigamy? "
Xiao Qin blushed and looked away, "Anyway, as long as you don't steal Ye Lin classmate from me, I won't treat you too badly. I'll at least let you have a man who isn't inferior to the Diarist hero … "
"It's getting late, why don't we sleep now?" The class leader seemed a bit tired after Xiao Qin's series of sharp questions.
So Xiao Qin and the class leader went to bed at 10: 20 last night, even earlier than us.
"Huh? If you guys sleep so early, why are you still so tired today? Could it be that you're not used to the bed in the gardener's hut, so you tossed and turned to keep the class leader awake? "
"What are you talking about!" Xiao Qin immediately pouted, "The class leader says she won't steal Ye Lin classmate from me and pretends to be a good person, but her body isn't honest. Last night, after I fell asleep, she attacked me with a deadly scissor kick! I had a hard time breathing because of her! As expected, she's a bad second female character! I shouldn't have believed her at all! "
