"Master, I've been studying literature recently, and I feel like the word 'compulsive' has a deeper meaning …"
During the break after the language class, Eunuch Cao was reading a high school algebra book with a cover that was unbearably happy.
I ignored him and stood in front of the classroom window, looking at the lush campus in the distance.
Suddenly, I felt someone calling my name downstairs. I looked down and saw the class leader waving at me.
"Ye Lin, do you know how to climb trees?" The class leader looked up and asked anxiously.
I have a fear of heights. If I knew how to climb trees, I wouldn't have been the one stealing peaches with the Little Tyrant as a child.
"Um, I haven't climbed for a long time, so I don't know how to … class leader, why do you need to climb trees?" I replied to the class leader while holding onto the windowsill.
"Cat! There's a cat stuck at the top of the tree and can't get down! Who else is in our classroom? Does anyone know how to climb trees? "
I turned my head and scanned the classroom. The first people I saw were the fat Eunuch Cao, the fat Loud Mouth, the weak Zhuang Ni, the weak Gong CaiCai, as well as Jiang Qian and her three would-be boyfriends.
No, these people don't look like they know how to climb trees. It would be great if Xiong YaoYue and Xiao Qin were here.
"Class leader, don't worry! I'll go see if I can borrow a ladder and mattress! "
Loud Mouth heard our conversation and walked over, "Did another dumb cat climb up to the top of the old elm tree and can't get down? The class leader has good eyesight, so she's always the first to notice these things … I'll go help! Zhuang Ni, are you coming? "
"I don't want to climb trees like a monkey." Zhuang Ni raised her eyebrows, "But I can go watch someone climb trees like a monkey — — Cai Cai, let's go together!"
Thus, Loud Mouth, Zhuang Ni, and Gong CaiCai filed out of the classroom and met the Five Tiger Punishment Squad on the way. After Xing Xing heard the whole story, he volunteered to help us get a ladder and mattress. Thus, we first met up with the class leader under the elm tree.
"Is it Ai Mi's pet, our school cat Meba?"
Loud Mouth walked under the elm tree and the worried class leader looked up.
"It's not Miba. It's an even smaller cat."
The class leader stretched out her fingers to show us. Among the layers of yellow autumn leaves, we finally saw a little kitten with white flowers on a black background.
"It's so pitiful." Gong CaiCai was even more worried than the class leader, "We have to think of a way to save it or it'll get hurt if it falls."
"Not necessarily." Zhuang Ni was the coldest among them. "The saying that cats have nine lives is not for nothing. Their body's balance is far better than that of humans. From a height of about 10 meters, they might be able to land on all fours if they directly jump down."
"But this cat is too small!" The class leader's eyes flashed with motherly light, "We can't take the risk! It cried out anxiously on the branch. It's obvious that it can't get down! "
"Don't worry," I said. "Maybe the Five Tigers of the Ministry of Punishment will bring the ladder and mattress here soon …"
Halfway through, I suddenly received a call from Xing Xing. He apologized to me as if he wanted to commit suicide:
"Big Brother Ye, bad news! The gym warehouse's door lock was broken by a student last class. The gym teacher couldn't open it no matter how he tried, so he's about to contact a locksmith! He probably won't be able to get the ladder and mattress for a while! "
Damn it! What kind of person is so annoying, what's so fun about door locks? As if it's not enough to have two girlfriends, he still wants to play with door locks!
After hearing this unfortunate news, the class leader and Gong CaiCai became even more anxious. Zhuang Ni suggested: "Can't Loud Mouth replace the mattress by lying on the ground with her belly facing up?"
Before Loud Mouth could react, the class leader vetoed it with a deadpan expression: "It's thick enough, but it's not big enough …"
"Class leader, you can't be like this!" Loud Mouth said angrily, "It's fine if Zhuang Ni ridicules me, but if you also ridicule me, I'll … I'll go on a hunger strike!"
"Hunger strike?" Zhuang Ni had a smile that wasn't a smile, "You're changing from eating six meals a day to eating five meals a day?"
Loud Mouth flashed the lobster pincers and was about to get even with Zhuang Ni, but she saw Xiao Qin walking over with a bottle of yogurt.
"Eh? Why is everyone here? Is there anything fun on the tree? "
The class leader excitedly rushed forward and hugged Xiao Qin's shoulders.
"Xiao Qin, you're the only one here who can climb trees, can you climb to the top of the tree and save the cat? I'm counting on you! "
Xiao Qin, who suddenly became the center of attention, blinked her eyes, "Aiyaya, I'm a weak girl, how could I have a barbaric skill like climbing trees? Class leader, where did you hear that rumor … "
"I saw you climb trees and pick coconuts with my own eyes on Angel Island." The class leader pointed out with a serious expression.
Xiao Qin's face darkened, "That, that was an illusion caused by the low pressure …"
"Stop pretending, Xiao Qin." Loud Mouth stood next to the class leader, "Now everyone knows you're a martial arts master, and you were crazy like a boy when you were a kid! Don't you also like cats? If you can save the cat, everyone will thank you! "
"Yeah, stop pretending." Zhuang Ni, who has been in contact with Xiao Qin recently, also said, "You must have climbed trees like a monkey when you were a kid, right?"
"Stop pretending …" Gong CaiCai immediately covered her mouth in fear after she said those three words. Not sure if she was used to going along with others, or if she accidentally said her true opinion of Xiao Qin.
"What did you say?" Xiao Qin tilted her head and walked closer to Gong CaiCai with a smile, but the yogurt bottle in her hand made a creaking sound.
"It's my fault! Xiao Qin classmate, please forgive me! " Gong CaiCai hugged her little head and helplessly squatted on the ground, "I shouldn't have mocked Xiao Qin classmate! I don't know what happened, those words just slipped out of my mouth … "
Maybe it was because she had been holding it in for too long and had to say it?
Under Loud Mouth and the class leader's pleas, Xiao Qin magnanimously forgave Gong CaiCai, but she still didn't agree to climb the tree to save the cat.
"What a joke! Didn't you guys notice I'm wearing a skirt? If I climb that high, my butt will be exposed like a monkey! "
"I know it's not very elegant to wear a skirt to climb." The class leader said while looking at the trembling cat on the top of the tree, "But it's good that it's autumn, so skirts usually have thick stockings …"
"That's easy for you to say!" Xiao Qin crossed her arms in front of her chest and held the yogurt bottle in the middle like Ling Huchong holding a sword, "Since there's no danger of being exposed, why don't you climb the tree yourself? You want to be a criminal police officer in the future, and you learned how to survive in the wild in the forest when you were a kid. You should know how to climb trees, right? "
The class leader bit her lips and finally admitted: "Yes, I can climb trees …"
"Hey!" Xiao Qin pointed at the class leader as if she found a swindler, "You clearly know how to climb trees, but you didn't help me and waited for me to climb up and embarrass myself. You're too evil!"
"How come I didn't know you could climb trees?" Zhuang Ni was surprised.
"I, I know how to climb trees." The class leader had a look of shame on her face, "When I was in third grade, I climbed up a small tree to save a cat, but the cat was very afraid of me. I tore my clothes and climbed up the tree with great difficulty, but it jumped down by itself. Luckily, it wasn't injured. But because my hair was too long, it got tangled in the branches and I couldn't get down no matter what. In the end, the fire department had to come and save me …"
"I remember now!" Loud Mouth, who went to the same elementary school as the class leader, clapped her fists together and said, "That did happen, everyone even spread rumors that you climbed up the tree to pick fruits to eat!"
The class leader definitely didn't pick any fruits at the time, but her face was as red as an apple.
"Xiao Qin, I'm really not good at climbing trees, and I might get tangled in the branches halfway … Also, normal cats and dogs are afraid of me. What if the kitten jumped down after I climbed up? Please, just help me! "
The class leader clasped her hands together and sincerely asked Xiao Qin for help.
"Okay then." Xiao Qin pouted, "Since I'm also a cat, I'll go change into a pair of sweatpants and come back to climb the tree!"
"But …" The class leader said anxiously, "Wouldn't that be too late? Actually, there's no difference between our school's pantyhose and leggings. Also, when you climb the tree, we'll surround the tree and won't let anyone get close … "
"No!" Xiao Qin insisted, "It doesn't matter if it's pantyhose or pantyhose, a girl can't let anyone see under her skirt! This is a public area, I'll definitely be seen by boys other than Ah Lin! Unless you're willing to take off your clothes and run around the school naked, then all the boys' attention will be attracted to you, and I can take the opportunity to climb the tree to save the cat! "
What a terrible idea! Even if you want to divert the boys' attention, the class leader doesn't have to pay such a huge price! It's more worth it to let Eunuch Cao run naked! Even if the damn fatty ran naked, most of the students would still gather to watch!
"The class leader will never agree." Zhuang Ni said coldly, "She's not even willing to be our mannequin in private, let alone running naked in public."
I suddenly realized one of the main reasons why Zhuang Ni taught Xiao Qin how to draw and focus on female sketches was to find an excuse for the class leader to take off her clothes and be a mannequin.
"It's not for myself, it's for Xiao Qin to improve her drawing skills." Zhuang Ni probably used these kinds of righteous words to persuade the class leader.
"Nude, nude running is absolutely not allowed!" The class leader was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, "Um, Xiao Qin, if you're willing to climb the tree to save the cat, I'll … I'll be a mannequin for you and Zhuang Ni in private!"
Zhuang Ni's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"
For the sake of the kitten's safety, the class leader gritted her teeth and nodded, "As long as you guys don't draw my face and don't let the drawing be made public, I can give it a try …"
Zhuang Ni pointed at Gong CaiCai, "If CaiCai also becomes a mannequin, then we have a deal!"
"Wha, what?" When Gong CaiCai saw that she was about to take off her clothes in front of Zhuang Ni and Xiao Qin, her vision darkened and she almost fell.
Xiao Qin pouted, "I'm not really looking forward to seeing them naked! Zhuang Ni, you're happy, but what's in it for me? "
Zhuang Ni lowered her voice, "I'll help you draw six pages of backgrounds in the next issue of Detective Doggy Li! I'll even help you draw a few female characters! "
Seeing as she was about to convince the class leader and Gong CaiCai to strip naked and let her sketch, Zhuang Ni revealed a love-struck expression, "Xiao Qin, I won't forget you this time! Hurry up and save this damn cat! "
