The day after the fight, when my mind was still filled with thoughts of getting revenge for brother Gang, the class leader came to my seat after class and said:
"Give me your clothes."
What? Clothes? Which clothes? Class leader, you're amazing! I know you've always advocated for gender equality, but you can't brazenly ask for a boy's clothes just because there was a panty thief who stole girls' underwear.
Later, I realized the class leader was referring to the Qing Zi Academy uniform I was wearing last night.
The class leader narrated without emotion: "You lost a lot of buttons during the fight, I picked them up from the ground. Give me your clothes, I'll help you sew the buttons back on. "
Eh? When I was fighting with those people, you actually had the leisure to pick up buttons on the ground? What kind of mentality do you have! Or are you thrifty and have obsessive-compulsive disorder? Whenever you think of my torn suit that's missing buttons, you're so upset that you can't sleep?
"Bring it back when you have time." The class leader moved her feet at the right time and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window. She skillfully avoided Loud Mouth's line of sight, as if it was an indispensable anti-stalking skill for police officers and she had already been training hard.
"But I'm also very busy. Don't expect me to sew it on the same day you bring it back, it might take a few more days."
"If you can't wait, I'll return the buttons and you can go find a sewing shop."
Who would go find a sewing shop? If someone mends my buttons for free, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it! I was feeling uneasy because I spent the money in Ai Mi's credit card! I would save whenever I could, only then would I envy Shu Zhe for having an omnipotent sister.
During those few days, Xiao Qin was on sick leave due to menstrual pain. Other than waiting for brother Gang's information, the only thing I did was to ask the class leader to mend the buttons on my suit.
It was completely different from when the class leader said I would have to wait two more days. On the second day after I handed the suit to the class leader, I found it lying in my desk when I arrived at school.
The class leader was quietly reviewing her homework as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Not only did the buttons seamlessly return to their original positions, but the bloodstains on my collar were also washed away by the class leader using some unknown method.
Didn't you say you were busy? If you're very busy, don't prioritize my matter! Discipline your unlucky brother who thinks he's smart, or simply go to the pet hospital and indulge in hugging cats and dogs for a while. Which of these things is more important than mending a button?
But no matter what, my heart still felt very warm.
One is marked by the company one keeps, and one is blackened by the company one keeps. Recently, I have become more and more aware of the important influence one's environment exerts on a person.
That night, in the cold alley, when I faced the vicious criminals, the world seemed to have lost its order, or rather, violence became the only order. I was ruled by chaos, and I felt like I was stepping on a prehistoric desert where human civilization had yet to sprout, where the strong preyed on the weak. I valued my life and the life of my enemies as nothing.
But now, sitting in class, watching my classmates reading, talking normally, and playing normally, I feel like the world has returned to order.
Especially the sunlight that shone through the window and sprinkled on the table, it made me feel like there are still beautiful things in this world.
Of course, this does not include Xiao Qin, who was holding two movie tickets with a spring smile on her face, hoping to go watch a movie with me on the weekend.
"When we talk about what we should do after we become a couple, the first thing that comes to mind is watching a movie together!"
I covered her mouth and she could only let out muffled sounds. She was still waving the two beautifully printed colored tickets in her hand.
The ticket impressively wrote: Our city's first 4D full-function theater, elegant environment, complete equipment, domestic high-definition blockbuster, a martial arts masterpiece that transcends time — — "Tang Bo Hu Zhan Chu Liu Xiang".
What kind of fucking title is this! Shouldn't it be "Tang Bo Hu Zhan Chu Liu Xiang"! Chu Liu Xiang, why are you joining in the fun! Is it just because you're both dissolute scholars that you have to compete on the silver screen to pick up girls? In my opinion, this movie not only transcends time, but it also transcends the moral integrity of filmmakers!
"How can you say that about my mom's movie!" Xiao Qin struggled to break free from my hand, "Although the script is a bit ridiculous, my mom is still very attentive as a martial arts director! Even if you don't watch the script, you won't be disappointed just by watching the martial arts movements! "
Huh? Auntie Ren also participated in the filming of this movie? It was a bit out of my expectations, but it's not that strange. Martial arts directors are only responsible for making martial arts movements look good, they don't have much say in the script.
As a single mother, especially with a troublesome child like Xiao Qin at home, Auntie Ren probably doesn't have much time to nitpick the script.
"Did Auntie Ren give you the movie tickets?" I asked.
"Yeah, as a martial arts director, my mom will definitely receive a lot of free tickets when the movie is released. I can go watch it with Ye Lin classmate, hehe?"
Xiao Qin's smile was as bright as spring. She still didn't know that I already saw through her listening device plan and was thinking about how to get revenge.
Since the matter with brother Gang had already come to an end, I lost my life goals. Since I was bored, I thought it would be a good entertainment to watch Auntie Ren's martial arts movie.
But I'm not so kind that I'll go with Xiao Qin alone.
Thus I asked with ill intentions: "Are there more than two free tickets? Are there any that aren't useful? "
Xiao Qin didn't realize my scheme and said with a smile: "Of course there are a lot more! If Ye Lin classmate needs them, I'll bring them all for you and you can give them to your friends and relatives! "
"Okay." I said as I snatched the two tickets from Xiao Qin's hands and walked over to the class leader's side without looking back.
The class leader was just discussing something with the teacher in the hallway when she came back. She was stunned when she saw me walking over with the two tickets.
"Class leader, do you like watching movies?" I asked casually.
"What … are you doing!" The class monitor said angrily, "This is a school. How can you do that in front of so many people …"
Halfway through her sentence, she felt like she said the wrong thing and her face immediately turned red. Loud Mouth and Little Smart looked at the class leader from not too far away and whispered with malicious intentions.
"I don't like watching movies." In order to get rid of the awkwardness, the class leader quickly returned to her seat and picked up an extracurricular book. It seemed to be Robinson Crusoe.
"You can watch it with whoever you want, I'm not going … why didn't you invite Xiao Qin?"
"I never said I wouldn't bring Xiao Qin! I just thought it would be more fun with more people! "
The class leader let out a sigh of relief after hearing what I said, but at the same time, she had a slightly disappointed expression.
"I still have things to do on the weekend. Since Xiao Qin already agreed to go with you, then you two can go. Be careful on the road, and don't bully Xiao Qin because I'm not here, otherwise I won't forgive you! "
It was as if there were knives hidden behind her black pupils. Is it really necessary to take Xiao Qin to the movies?
It's fine if you don't want to go, my goal is to not sit alone with Xiao Qin in the cinema. I have other people I can invite even if you don't want to go.
Thus I walked over to Loud Mouth and Little Smart and asked if they were interested.
Loud Mouth initially said that someone was treating her to a meal and she was sad and regretful that she couldn't watch a domestic blockbuster. But when she heard that not only did I invite the class leader, but Xiao Qin was also going, she revealed a disappointed expression and said:
"So we're going to watch a movie together? I can't believe I was trying to avoid being a third wheel! Saturday afternoon at 2pm, right? Okay, okay, we'll both go, but you have to at least treat us to popcorn! "
I nodded in agreement. The more people go, the more disappointed Xiao Qin will be. As long as I can dampen her enthusiasm, I don't mind spending a bit.
I suddenly thought that running errands like buying popcorn should be done by the lackeys, I shouldn't do it myself as a man.
Thus I ran behind Eunuch Cao who was secretly reading H manga and gave him a scare by patting him on the shoulder. Then I invited him to watch a movie together on Saturday and help the girls buy snacks.
Eunuch Cao didn't even dare to talk to me when he saw me with a dark face because of brother Gang. Now that I was in a good mood, he hurriedly promised to come on time.
After inviting the few people in the class who dared to talk to me, I returned to the class leader's seat. She still hadn't flipped a single page of 'Robinson Crusoe' in her hands.
"How is it, there are already 5 people going to the cinema on Saturday. Didn't you advocate participating in group activities? The tickets were given to Xiao Qin's mother for free, it would be a waste if no one uses them. "
The class leader was most afraid of the word 'waste', and she was a bit tempted when she found out it wasn't just me and Xiao Qin.
"But … it's rare that Xiao Zhe doesn't go out this Saturday. I originally wanted to accompany him at home, and if I go out in the afternoon, his dinner …"
I really can't stand how the class leader thinks of her brother first. Does he need you to accompany him? Will he starve to death if you don't cook for him? Don't you advocate for gender equality, why are you making so many sacrifices for your brother? Or is your creed actually "gender equality, but older sisters are excluded"?
"Hey, hey, hey, he's not a kitten or puppy, he can't always rely on you to feed him."
After hearing me talk about her brother, the class leader glared at me with murderous intent.
"Okay, I won't say he's a dog, he's actually not as loyal as a dog … How about this, I said we have plenty of tickets. Since he has nothing to do at home, why don't you bring him along. We'll go watch a movie with … a total of 7 people, what do you think?"
This suggestion seemed to erase the last bit of the class leader's guilt.
"Okay, I'll bring Xiao Zhe along. I don't even remember the last time I went to a movie with him."
I thought in my heart: No shit! Why would he go watch a movie with you if he already has a girlfriend! You look like a mother who feels lonely and disappointed because her son has grown up and is no longer as attached to her as he used to be!
When I returned to my seat, I unexpectedly found Xiao Qin lying on my desk, motionless as if she was dead.
