"Where did Zhuang Ni go? Could it be that he lost the bet and didn't want to admit it, so he slipped away in advance?
"That's not her style. Even if she lost, she would still seize every opportunity to mock her opponent. I'll try calling her phone."
The class leader dialed Zhuang Ni's number. Almost at the same time, a gloomy gothic music started playing downstairs.
"Zhuang Ni hasn't left the hotel yet!" The class leader said as she ran towards the stairs. I followed closely behind her.
The morning sun shone through the lush leaves and scattered in the hotel lobby. At this time, there was no one else in the lobby other than the class leader and me. I also don't know where the front desk guy in charge of registering guests went.
"The sun is so blinding … it would be great if nuclear winter came."
Zhuang Ni sat on the front desk guy's seat and yawned in boredom.
"Why are you sitting here!?" The class leader was shocked and angry, "Middle school students can't work, let alone this …"
"I'm not working." Zhuang Ni said calmly, "No one pays me, I'm just experiencing life for the summer."
"Experiencing life!? What kind of life would you experience in a place like this!? " The class leader was still brooding over the hotel's peachy decorations. She must think this is a place to teach bad things.
"If you're here, I can help you see through a man's nature. It can also be considered a type of cultivation."
Zhuang Ni replied with a faint smile and looked at me with an unfathomable gaze.
"The biggest reason men and women date is to get a room. I can understand everything just by sitting here and looking at a man's eyes …"
"Also, even if their female companion is right next to them, they still won't give up looking for other prey. Some even secretly asked for my phone number, it's really ugly …"
"Wait." The class leader interrupted Zhuang Ni, "From what you're saying, you've been working here for more than a day or two? Do your parents know? If you have the strength to work, why don't you go to school? "
"Because I have an illness that will kill me as soon as I go to school." Zhuang Ni said with a straight face.
"Also, like I said, it's not a job, it's just cultivation. It's a necessary step to enter society in the future."
A necessary step? Is familiarity with the process as important as Zhuang Ni said? The class leader clearly couldn't understand.
"You … This hotel employs minors, I want to report them!"
Zhuang Ni let out a deep sigh and waved her hand at the class leader. "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, my grandpa has shares in this hotel. I'm just looking after my cousin for a while when he goes to the washroom."
"Huh?" I said in surprise, "You mean, this hotel belongs to your grandpa?"
"No, it's your grandpa's!" Zhuang Ni didn't want to lose out at all, and greeted me in annoyance.
The class leader had a look of realization, "So, the receptionist with the dark circles under his eyes is your cousin? No wonder he's always protecting you. You don't even need an ID card to get a room … "
"Yes," Zhuang Ni admitted. "My cousin doesn't have much ability. After graduating from high school, he was assigned to be a receptionist here."
I should have realized it earlier! That fellow's lack of sleep was quite similar to Zhuang Ni's!
"So, from the moment we entered the hotel to the moment we lost control of the electronic door, it was all a trap set by you and your cousin?"
The class leader crossed her arms in front of her chest and her expression was similar to when Detective Conan was about to solve a case.
"Yeah, although I really wanted to use my superpowers to do it, I realized I don't have any superpowers after I checked my settings, so I could only trouble my cousin."
Zhuang Ni said without any remorse.
"Okay, okay, I was tricked by you again." The class leader sighed and said, "But you still lost a bet with me! Ye Lin didn't … reveal his true colors, so you can't trick Gong CaiCai to do strange things in the future! "
"How can you prove that Ye Lin didn't reveal his true colors?" Zhuang Ni said in a challenging tone, "At most, it's just that you didn't call me for help. You guys were playing the TV so loudly, I couldn't hear anything through the wall."
"You … you've been trying to eavesdrop on us!?" The class leader's face turned red with anger.
"If the US government can eavesdrop on citizens, why can't I eavesdrop on you guys? Or do you have a guilty conscience? "
"Nonsense, nonsense! We're clearly innocent! "
Zhuang Ni propped up her sharp chin and appeared to be in deep thought, "Hmph, all criminal suspects say they're innocent. If you want me to admit defeat, then you have to show me convincing evidence!"
I suddenly remembered that Auntie Ren suspected me of tasting the forbidden fruit, so she took her to the hospital to get a gynecologist to examine her, so I blurted out:
"It's not hard to get evidence, as long as the class leader is willing to lie in the gynecologist chair …"
Halfway through my sentence, I was met with two cold and sharp gazes. I couldn't help but stop talking.
"Zhuang Ni." The class leader said seriously, "I won't provide you with any evidence, you know I never lie."
Zhuang Ni pondered for a bit, "The class leader is indeed the most righteous person I know, so there's nothing wrong with believing your words. But — — Ye Lin could have violated you without you knowing!"
"Hey hey hey, even if we know each other, I'll sue you for slander!"
I couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhuang Ni looked me in the eye without fear, "As far as I know, there are at least three types of chemicals that can cause the class leader to lose her memories after being violated …"
Where did you learn all this disharmonious knowledge! Why would a girl like you know this? Don't tell me you had a backup plan of using drugs to achieve your goal of being a lesbian with the class leader?
At this time, the front desk guy — — Zhuang Ni's cousin — — came back from the washroom. Zhuang Ni moved out of the way and let me sit on the sofa in the lobby. She sat next to me like a police officer interrogating a criminal.
"Class leader, don't come over first. I want to interrogate Ye Lin alone. If he did that, he'll definitely give himself away."
"Ask away!" I was not afraid of the shadow, so I straightened my back on the sofa.
"Ye Lin, first I have to say, I really hate you."
"Huh? That has nothing to do with the interrogation, right? "
"It has nothing to do with it, but every time I see your parallelogram eyes and corgi like short legs, I instinctively feel a sense of disgust."
That's enough! My eyes are indeed long and narrow, but not to the extent of parallelograms. As for corgi's short legs — — even Wu Dalang's legs aren't that short!
"Okay, the interrogation officially begins. Please don't think and quickly answer my questions. Can you do that?"
"What's so difficult about it, you name the question!"
"Red or black, which color do you like?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? "
"Don't interrupt me, answer my question!"
"Then … black."
"Apples or oranges, which fruit do you like to eat more?"
"Apples."
Zhuang Ni spoke faster and faster.
"Swimming or running, which type of exercise do you like more?"
"Of course running!" I don't even know how to swim!
"Language or politics, which subject do you like more?"
"I don't like either."
"No, you have to choose one of the two!"
"Then … language."
"K powder or ecstasy, which type of drug do you like to use more?"
"K powder …" I answered subconsciously.
"Guilty!" Zhuang Ni suddenly yelled and turned around to call out to the class leader, "Ye Lin used K powder to poison you, that's the true nature of a man! How disgusting! "
Damn, it's a scam! This type of quick questioning is a complete trap! I only chose K powder because I think K looks cooler!
"Zhuang Ni, stop struggling." The class leader pointed out, "Ye Lin might not be smart, but he didn't do anything. You won't be able to find any loopholes."
Zhuang Ni did not give up. She used the class leader as an excuse to push the class leader to the side, then she continued to speak to me:
"Ye Lin, confess. If you confess, you'll be lenient. If you resist, you'll be strict."
Confess my ass! I'm innocent, okay?!
"If you say you're innocent, then what did you do with the class leader in the room yesterday?"
"Hey, I heard you say I'm a short-legged pervert."
"That's not important, I just like to call you that."
"You tricked Gong CaiCai into touching her breasts, Zhuang Ni, you're the real pervert."
"It doesn't matter, you can call me a pervert if you want, but please confess what you did to the class leader last night — — did you guys sleep on the same bed?"
I thought about it for a bit, the most noteworthy event last night was the black cat 'Mimi', the class leader probably played with it for most of the night.
Thus I nodded, "Even though we slept on the same bed, but …"
Zhuang Ni immediately made a murderous expression, "How dare you sleep on the same bed as the class leader! Even I don't have that opportunity! "
Then she asked: "You bastard, did you do everything you should have done?"
"I didn't!" I felt a bit nervous under Zhuang Ni's gaze and said with a slight stutter: "After you called me to the bed, the class leader didn't do anything, she just played with Mimi …"
"Played … played with Mimi?!" Zhuang Ni's eyes widened and she had a face of indescribable shock.
I didn't react for a moment and continued: "Yeah, but I didn't really play with it. The class leader played by herself, I just watched from the side."
"You … you just watched from the side!?"
"That's right." I complained, "The class leader played by herself for most of the night, I got bored, so I went to sleep first."
"You … felt bored!?"
"Of course it was boring!" I said disinterestedly as I recalled the scene from last night.
The shocked Zhuang Ni rolled her eyes, then she rolled them back and shouted at the class leader and me: "You guys are perverts!"
"What?"
I wasn't the only one, the class leader was also confused.
Zhuang Ni stood up from the sofa and swayed as if her blood pressure was on the low side. She held her forehead to calm herself down and said to us resentfully:
"You just called me a pervert … I think you two are the real perverts!"
"Class leader, I was wrong about you!" Zhuang Ni trembled with excitement, "I can't believe you didn't have any self-respect and played with your own Mimi in front of Ye Lin! So the reason nothing happened between the two of you wasn't because you had self-control, but because Ye Lin is cold! "
"You didn't even react when the class leader was playing with Mimi, are you even a man!"
The class leader and I were both speechless.
"Um, Mimi is referring to a cat." I kindly reminded her.
