When I brought the steaming hot egg noodles to the table, the class leader, who had been quietly waiting, felt a bit embarrassed. It was as if she felt it was too abrupt for me to bring her home and cook for her.
Regardless, the tear stains on the class leader's face were already gone after she washed her face. Although there was still sadness in her eyes, it would take time to wash away.
"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself." I told the class leader. I wasn't confident enough to cook for the class leader. I was afraid the noodles I made wouldn't be to the class leader's liking.
Whether it was out of courtesy or because she was really hungry, the class leader didn't nitpick. She ate the egg first, then picked up the noodles and put them in her mouth.
I felt proud that the super chef of class 2-3 was satisfied with my cooking, even though I knew it was mostly because the class leader was hungry.
Since I wasn't hungry at all, I sat across from the class leader, which is where Shu Zhe usually sits. I watched the class leader eat and I felt like I was feeding a cat or dog, but I couldn't tell the class leader about it.
The class leader also felt a bit awkward after being stared at for a while.
"Ye Lin, your noodles are pretty good, but can you stop staring at me? Why don't you go watch TV? "
When I was watching the NBA shooting highlights on TV, the class leader quickly finished the battle. It felt like the class leader ate her noodles at three times the normal speed when I couldn't see her. The starving class leader ate really quickly.
"Thanks, I'm full."
It felt strange for the host, the class leader, to thank me, the guest.
Then the class leader asked if I wanted to stay a bit longer and even invited me to her bedroom. I've never been to her bedroom before, but I suppressed my curiosity and said to the class leader:
"I won't bother you anymore today. I heard that you've finished your homework during the self-study class in order to go straight to the pet hospital after school. You didn't even bring your bag home, so you can go to bed after washing up, right?"
The class leader nodded silently.
"Then you should rest early. I'm still waiting for you to cheer for me in the basketball game tomorrow morning. I also need you to show your power in the volleyball game in the afternoon. If you don't rest early, you will fail tomorrow!"
I looked at the clean bowl of soup on the table, picked it up, walked to the kitchen and washed it in the sink.
"Ye Lin, what are you doing? Leave the bowl to me, I'll wash it myself. Stop! "
The class leader hurriedly stopped me. She was already embarrassed to eat the noodles I made for her.
"It doesn't matter. I often do the dishes at home." I said as I squeezed the detergent, "A girl like you who cares about hygiene and has OCD definitely wouldn't leave the dishes until tomorrow, right? Shu Zhe is naturally lazy and won't help you. I'll help you wash the dishes so you can go to bed! "
The class leader leaned against the sliding door of the kitchen and wanted to say something.
The class leader subconsciously combed her ink-like hair with her fingers as she watched me, who was different from her brother and was willing to share her worries in the kitchen.
"I'll go to bed immediately after I leave. Don't think about anything while lying in bed, okay?"
Although I told her that, it was impossible to make the class leader happy under these circumstances. As long as she doesn't cry herself to sleep, it would be good enough.
I put the washed dishes into the cupboard and went to the washroom to wash my hands. When I came out, I saw the class leader opening the cupboard and carefully straightening the bowls that I placed a bit crooked. She blushed and seemed a bit uncomfortable when she saw me noticing her OCD actions.
If it was a normal day, I might have joked about it, but I didn't do that today. Instead, I silently changed my shoes and told the class leader that I was going home.
"Be careful on the road." The class leader said goodbye to me. After a pause, she said in a low voice: "Thank you for enlightening me today. I'm not as sad as before."
Although the class leader said that her situation was fine, what was surprising was that she didn't come to class the next day.
The class leader was absent from the first class on Wednesday morning. For someone like the class leader who strictly abides by the concept of time, it was a rare occurrence.
The students were all discussing.
"What's going on? I didn't hear the class leader ask for a day off from teacher Yu! Why would she suddenly skip class! "
"No, the class leader would never skip class. At most, she would be late. But even being late is abnormal — is today the end of the world?"
I thought to myself: Is the class leader sick?
After crying, the body's resistance is very weak, not to mention it rained yesterday.
Although I brought a big umbrella from home and tried my best not to let the class leader get wet, it's still possible for her to catch a cold if she gets exposed to the cold wind.
To be honest, when I woke up this morning, I also had a slight headache. It was probably because I got wet last night. But the physique of a Spartan isn't for show. I clenched my teeth and completely endured it. Right now, I'm in a good state of thirst for battle.
The class leader also didn't come to the second class. Just when I was worried that the class leader would miss the finals of the basketball tournament and wouldn't be able to cheer for me off the court, the class leader arrived late after the second class ended and walked to her seat from the back door.
The classroom, which had been noisy after class, suddenly became incomparably quiet.
Everyone turned around to look at the class leader. They were all stunned for five or six seconds before bursting into loud laughter.
Xiong YaoYue laughed especially intensely, she pointed at the class leader's face and laughed loudly:
"Haha … that's too funny! What's wrong with the class leader, how did you become a pirate captain! "
I have to say, Xiong YaoYue's comparison was very appropriate.
Because the class leader was wearing a uniform and sweatpants, there was a change on her face that couldn't be ignored.
Her left eye was covered with a blindfold.
It was a normal medical blindfold, the kind that kids often wear on the streets. It was a blue and white square blindfold that was attached to the skin near the eye with medical tape.
If it was a friend who watched anime, the first thing they would think of when they saw the class leader's current appearance was the female lead in "Chuunibyou Still Date".
Teacher Yu, who was attracted by the laughter from the hallway, saw the class leader's appearance, he held back his laughter and asked curiously:
"Shu Sha, what's wrong with your eye?"
The class leader replied embarrassedly: "It's a bit of a bacterial infection. I went to the neighborhood clinic to get it treated, but I was late."
It's completely different from what I imagined! Even though we're both sick, I never thought the class leader would have an eye disease! I told you not to use your hands that are covered in dust to wipe your eyes!
The girls who didn't know the inside story surrounded the class leader and asked her all sorts of questions.
"Class leader, is your eye okay? Does it hurt? "
"It was a bit serious when I woke up this morning, but it's a lot better after I applied some medicine." The class leader replied.
"Class leader, do you want a parrot?" Xiong YaoYue asked, "It's rare for you to become a pirate captain, so I'll borrow my uncle's parrot so you can cosplay a bit more!"
"You only know how to joke around, you're not serious at all." Loud Mouth said, "The class leader's eye disease is painful, don't be too happy, or you might get infected yourself — — this is a bacterial infection."
"I'm not afraid." Xiong YaoYue laughed, "I've never worn an blindfold before, I'm quite envious!"
Xiong YaoYue said as she leaned over and rubbed her face against the class leader's. The wheat color and snow-white color reflected off each other and gave onlookers a unique aesthetic enjoyment.
A lot of boys were like me watching this lively scene. Eunuch Cao was especially salivating — — not metaphorically, he was actually drooling.
The class leader forcefully pushed Xiong YaoYue away from her and said seriously:
"Winnie, you still have time to play with me? Did you know our class is in big trouble during the volleyball finals this afternoon! "
Xiong YaoYue shook her head and looked around: "Where's the trouble?"
The class leader pointed angrily at her blindfold, "The trouble is here! I can't open this eye. Although it doesn't affect me going on stage, if I only have one eye, the three-dimensional sense and the sense of distance will be affected. I can't guarantee that I can perform as well as I have in the past. Please save your energy for jokes and think about how you can perform better than usual. Make up for all the shortcomings I've caused! "
After the class leader's reminder, Xiong YaoYue realized she was already a victim of the class leader's eye disease. She covered her head and knelt down on the floor and let out a cry of despair similar to a movie protagonist: "NO ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
You don't have to show off your English! Your English is clearly about the same as mine, we're both at a level that Chinese and foreigners can't understand!
Xiao Qin felt like she was facing a great enemy when the class leader wore an eyepatch to school.
"The, the class leader also knows how to act cute!?"
"According to my many years of research on manga, wearing an eyepatch is one of the cute points that can't be ignored! You can trace back to the Eva Rinbori! Damn the class leader! Does she want to go the moe route! "
Hey, how are you going the moe route! You're the black-bellied route! I still haven't gotten even with you for forcing He Ling to distract Niu ShiLi on Sunday! But as soon as I brought it up, you brought it up to me touching He Ling's chest. That was an accident! You make it seem like I'm a super pervert!
Even though there were all sorts of accidents, the class leader still made it to the basketball finals in time to cheer me on in her uniform. I felt touched when I thought the class leader might have endured the pain in her eyes to rush to school at this time.
Since the volleyball match was going to be held in the afternoon and the basketball match was going to be held here, almost everyone from class 2-3 was present. Of course, some of the girls were here to see our opponent, the school hunk Shen ShaoYi.
But that definitely didn't include Xiong YaoYue. She was also wearing the same uniform and had her chest puffed out. She formed a trumpet shape with her hands and cheered me on.
"Ye Lin, don't go easy. You have to get revenge for last year and get rid of Shen ShaoYi and the others!"
Shen ShaoYi, who had a red captain's badge on his arm, heard Xiong YaoYue's cheering. He didn't say a word and stood on the basketball court symmetrically with me. The fanaticism in his eyes could tear me to pieces.
The match began after the PE teacher, Li DaYong, blew his whistle.
