"Didn't I say it before? There's no point in celebrating my birthday. Why do I have to celebrate the day that brought me to this cursed world? "
Zhuang Ni stood in the lobby in a rather dispirited manner as she spoke to the class leader.
"You're doing all this for me because you want me to become normal, but who decided what is normal and what is not? I feel like I'm fine right now and I don't want to change. "
Gong CaiCai, who was a greeter, was standing nearby. She was hit by Zhuang Ni's heartless words and hung her head in sadness. Her white fingers continuously rubbed the maid dress that she wore after overcoming a huge amount of shame.
"Why is this person so unreasonable?" He Ling muttered to Xiao Qin. "Everyone is busy tonight. Isn't it mainly because of her? Even as an outsider, I can't stand it anymore. "
Su Qiao, who once helped Xiao Yin imprison Zhuang Ni, had a bitter smile on her face. She knew how eccentric Zhuang Ni's temper was and how stubborn she was.
Zhuang Ni's sudden intrusion caused the atmosphere in the cafe to turn cold. For a moment, only Xiong YaoYue was skating back and forth to deliver food.
The class leader bit her lower lip for a long time and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Zhuang Ni, I'm not only working as a waitress here for you, but also for the owner who once took care of me. It's fine if you think I'm a busybody, but other people — — especially Gong CaiCai, work so hard for you, yet you can say such cold-blooded words, you really …"
"I know Cai Cai works hard." Zhuang Ni reached out and caressed Gong CaiCai's teary face, "I just don't think she needs to work hard in this direction. You and Cai Cai only need to come to my house, or I can rent a place and the three of us can have a happy night together. "
"Three people?" The class leader's tone was mixed with a lot of questions, "Let's not talk about He Ling and Su Qiao for now. Aren't Xiong YaoYue and Xiao Qin working for your birthday? Why exclude the two of them? "
"Because I don't treat them as friends." Zhuang Ni answered without hesitation, "I don't get along with either of them. They only came because of the class leader's call. I bet they didn't really want to celebrate my birthday. "
These words were quite offensive. Xiong YaoYue crossed her arms in front of her chest and slowly slid past Zhuang Ni. She stared unkindly at the main character whose birthday was going to be celebrated in an hour.
Xiao Qin also pouted unhappily (it could be seen through the ninja mask). "What! Even if it was me, if there were a lot of people willing to celebrate my birthday with me, I wouldn't put on that ugly face! "
"Haha, hahahahaha …"
The person who let out this series of untimely laughter was actually the class leader.
Starting from six in the afternoon, the class leader was busy in the coffee shop, coordinating all kinds of conflicts and eliminating all kinds of hidden dangers. She was overly responsible and had OCD, so she always rushed to wipe the tables and the floor. She basically didn't give herself any time to rest.
Fatigue and mental pressure combined with Zhuang Ni's sarcastic words made it hard for the class leader to maintain her poise. She tilted her head and put one hand on her waist like a policewoman who chased a suspect for thousands of miles and finally forced him to the edge of a cliff. She squinted her eyes and raised the corner of her mouth into a tired and almost 'broken' smile.
"Are you crazy when people come? It was the same on November 1st last year. Whenever you appear in a party with more than three people, you say weird things to ruin everyone's mood. Looks like I've been spoiling you too much, I should give you some punishment from time to time … "
"Punishment?" The class leader's unusual expression made Zhuang Ni shrink back a bit, but she didn't really take it seriously. "Class leader, your tricks don't work on me. Since you're too soft-hearted, you can only accept it in front of me …"
The class leader suddenly walked towards Zhuang Ni. Before Zhuang Ni could figure out what was going on, she was already restrained by the class leader's police grappling technique from behind. She had to lean forward like a criminal and was at the mercy of the class leader.
"How rare." Zhuang Ni taunted with a pale face, "Class leader, I can't believe you're using violence. Unfortunately, you're not wearing a policewoman's costume but a maid's costume. Then again, even if you're wearing a policewoman's costume, the men around you will only fantasize about you in their minds. They won't feel any deterrence from you … "
"Cut the crap." The class leader held onto Zhuang Ni and pushed her onto the bar counter. She used a lot of strength, so I'm afraid she could've crushed Zhuang Ni's chest — — I heard Zhuang Ni let out a moan.
"Apologize to Xiong YaoYue and Xiao Qin." The class leader ordered, "And promise you'll never say those hurtful words again."
Zhuang Ni kept her mouth shut and gave the class leader a silent rejection.
The class leader furrowed her brows and changed the topic: "You said this world is cursed, so the day you came to this world isn't worth celebrating. If that's the case, why are you still alive?"
Zhuang Ni blinked her eyes in surprise, "That's a sensitive topic, it's not something a normal class leader would ask … I haven't been killing myself as often as before, but the reason is probably because there are other people I want to kill before I kill myself."
Zhuang Ni looked at me and her grey eyes gave me goosebumps.
"The most important reason is that I plan on marrying you and Cai Cai in the future. It can probably offset the pain this world brings me … that's basically it."
"Which means you still have hope." The class leader maintained her posture as if she was escorting a criminal, "Since you still have hope, then this world shouldn't be cursed and your birthday shouldn't be cursed. Have you not thought about it, if you weren't born in this world, you wouldn't have met me and Cai Cai? You delayed leaving this world because of our relationship, which means your hope triumphed over despair. You shouldn't have a pessimistic attitude towards this world anymore. In my opinion, what you said earlier was just because you were afraid of losing. "
"Afraid of losing?" Zhuang Ni's expression was as if she heard the funniest joke in the world, "I have over a dozen cuts on my wrists, and you're saying I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? "
"You're afraid of losing your friends." The class leader pushed Zhuang Ni back down again, "Me, Cai Cai, Geng YuHong, Xiong YaoYue, Xiao Qin … at least these people are your friends! Even if you don't admit it, even if the other person doesn't admit it, you guys have already spent happy times together and left behind happy memories. You mock Geng YuHong every day for being fat, but everyone knows you care about her the most. The sporty Xiong YaoYue doesn't fit your aesthetic standards, but every time you eat at the buffet, you push your untouched food to her. Xiao Qin used you for a period of time, then broke up, but every time Xiao Qin has menstrual cramps, you take extra care of her — — I saw everything! "
Zhuang Ni avoided the class leader's gaze and quibbled: "I pushed the high calorie food to Xiong YaoYue because I wanted Loud Mouth to eat less! As for pouring hot water for Xiao Qin when she has menstrual cramps, it was purely out of humanitarianism! I don't care about them at all! "
"Idiot." The class leader's gaze softened, "When you were in a hurry to deny it, you already cared about them. It's not shameful to admit someone is your friend. It's because you're our friend that November 1st isn't just Halloween to us, it's also your birthday! "
The class leader's tone was sincere and full of emotions. Zhuang Ni was stunned and didn't know how to refute. She began to think about what these old classmates meant to her.
The class leader's words also applied to Xiao Qin, who was listening on the side. Xiao Qin used the metal tray to block half of her face and carefully listened to every word the class leader said. From the way she raised and lowered her eyebrows, it could be seen that the class leader's words had a profound meaning to her.
"So it's not just Winnie, I also have a lot of friends without realizing it?" Xiao Qin muttered to herself, "I think of Winnie and Loud Mouth when I see good food, I think of Gong CaiCai when I see plants and rabbits, I think of the class leader when I see cats and dogs, I think of the class leader when I see the police, and I think of Zhuang Ni when I see witchcraft items and black dresses … does this count as unknowingly caring for everyone?"
"What should I do, what should I do?" Xiao Qin suddenly asked anxiously, "If I have more than one friend in the future and they're all hanging from a cliff asking for help, which one should I save? I would regret it no matter who I choose. "
"There won't be such a coincidence." I laughed, "First of all, Xiong YaoYue doesn't need your help since she can climb barehanded. Also, if you have a lot of friends, you can call other friends to help you! Could it be that you were influenced by the early shoujo manga, where the heroine was often bullied by the whole class and only had one friend that she could confide in, so you foolishly believed that you could only have one friend in your lifetime!? "
Xiao Qin stood still in front of me for a few seconds as if she had stopped thinking, then I knew I guessed correctly.
"I understand." At this point, Zhuang Ni was finally convinced by the class leader. She shook her head and closed the eye that wasn't covered by her bangs, then opened it again, "Although I don't plan on completely accepting it, what you said makes sense. In order to express my apologies, I'll take over your work from now until we close. "
"Take over my work?" The class leader was shocked, "You're actually willing to wear a maid outfit and serve male customers?"
Zhuang Ni laughed, "Class leader, you must be exhausted after working for a few hours straight, otherwise you wouldn't have used violence on me on my birthday. If I take over your work, then you can rest for a bit."
"Also …" Zhuang Ni's gaze swept over the male customers in the coffee shop, and she said in a low voice, "It's almost midnight, and they still refuse to leave. If I don't rely on me, how can I drive them away?"
