"Oh, brother Ye Lin, you came at the right time. Help me take care of my sister, I'm going to order some takeout."
Shu Zhe said after opening the door for me.
Shu Zhe needed someone else to cook instant noodles for him, so he could only order takeout to solve his and his sister's food problem.
"How's your sister?" I placed a bag of oranges I bought on the table, "Does she still have a fever?"
"Her temperature has gone down, it's around 38 degrees, but she still has a bit of a headache, so she's lying in her bedroom."
Shu Zhe sat next to the phone in the living room and prepared to order takeout.
"Right, brother Ye Lin, you haven't eaten yet, right? Then I'll order three portions, but you'll have to pay, is that okay? "
"Hey! You're really obsessed with money! You want to take advantage of this? Then you can order the pot of incense downstairs, it's better than hard pizza for a sick person — — "
I took out a hundred dollars from my wallet and handed it to Shu Zhe, "Give the money to the delivery guy later, and don't forget to give me the change!"
"Got it!" Shu Zhe quickly took the money from Chairman Mao, "But brother Ye Lin, you're really stingy, you even want that bit of change? Your family is super rich! You shouldn't care about a hundred dollars, right? "
I felt like there was something wrong with his words, but at this time, a weak voice came from the class leader's bedroom:
"Ye Lin? Is that you? It should be night study time right now, right? Don't always play truant … "
"Class leader, can I come in?" I knocked on the door.
I walked in after getting the class leader's permission, then I saw the class leader wearing blue pajamas with a thick quilt on the bed. She weakly turned her head on the pillow and her gaze drifted towards me.
The class leader's face was paler than usual, but her long hair was not messy like someone who lazed around all day. That means the class leader got up today, but she went back to bed because of her body.
Although the class leader was weak, she still sat up and leaned against the headboard to talk to me.
"I'm sorry." The first thing the class leader said after I closed the door was an apology, "I got home really late last night, Xiao Zhe asked me what happened, so I told him about you and Gong CaiCai being kidnapped …"
"That's nothing, right?" I dragged the chair next to the bed and sat down, "It's not like it's a secret …"
"But …" the class leader bit her lower lip, "I already had a fever at the time, but I didn't know. Xiao Zhe asked me why I sent out a helicopter to save her. In my daze, I actually told him that you and Ai Mi are biological siblings …"
No wonder Shu Zhe said his family was super rich! As expected, he wasn't referring to my adult goods store. Shu Zhe's attitude towards me was also better than before … He's probably trying to get some benefits from me! This money-grubber!
Although it would be a bit troublesome if Shu Zhe found out, but the class leader was tricked by her brother into revealing it when she was sick. Shu Zhe is such a jerk, can't he tell when your sister is sick? Instead of helping her sister find a doctor, she took advantage of the situation and made the class leader's illness even worse. If it was just a common cold, the class leader wouldn't ask for leave.
"It's fine, he'll know when he finds out." I comforted the class leader, "You must have told him not to tell anyone, right?"
The class monitor nodded, "After I woke up a little, I immediately made him promise that he wouldn't say anything. And from the looks of it, he didn't want more people to know about it."
That's natural! Shu Zhe thinks I'm a tycoon who hides his abilities. Of course, he would feel better if he could monopolize such a rare creature.
I asked about the class leader's condition and chatted with her for a while. The crock pot Shu Zhe ordered arrived, but the class leader said she didn't have an appetite and told us to eat first.
"Let Shu Zhe eat outside," I said. "I'm not that hungry anyway. Fast food like the crockpot can be heated up over a fire. It doesn't matter if he eats it later."
"Then I'll eat." Shu Zhe replied from the living room, "I'm still growing, so you guys can chat … Oh right, my sister might not be able to eat because she doesn't have the strength. Do you want to feed my sister?"
"No … no need." The class leader hurriedly refused as if she heard something serious.
"Are you guys embarrassed?" Shu Zhe said maliciously, "I'll be back in my room soon anyway, so I won't be able to hear anything you guys do. Brother Ye Lin, you should take advantage of this opportunity."
His words made the class leader blush. She seemed to have a worse fever and started coughing from excitement.
After Shu Zhe found out Ai Mi and I were biological siblings, he clearly worked even harder to promote my relationship with his sister. He's treating me like a tycoon. He can't wait to have a tycoon brother-in-law.
The class leader saw through the disdain I inadvertently revealed on my face.
"Sigh, Xiao Zhe always wants to reap without sowing, and he likes to compare himself to others. It's my fault for not educating him well."
"Let's not talk about it." I remembered the pistol in my pocket, so I said to the class leader mysteriously: "I came today to visit you, and also to give you a present. You should like it …"
"A present?" The class leader was clearly not mentally prepared. She had her hands crossed on her abdomen and seemed nervous, "Why, why would you give me a present?"
I reached into my pocket with one hand to pull out the gun, "After I saw it, I felt you were the most suitable owner. Even though it's not legal, it's fine …"
"What do you mean it's not legal?" The class leader seemed to be afraid I would take it out, "Is it because of our age or …"
"Does it have anything to do with age?" I pouted angrily, "Class leader, you'll definitely get it in the future. If I give it to you now, it'll only be a few years in advance. You'll feel more at ease if you leave it at home."
Since the class leader's future goal is to become a criminal police or special forces officer, she will have to carry a gun.
But the class leader seems to have misunderstood me. She probably never thought I would give her a real gun and thought it was something else.
"Why, why would I feel at ease after I get it?" The class leader asked unconfidently, "Why do you think something would make me feel at ease?"
"Because it's something special." I lowered my voice in order to not let Shu Zhe hear, "It's a rare gift, so I can probably only give it once in my lifetime …"
"I want to drink water." The class leader pointed at the cold cup on the desk and ordered me to pour water for her as if it could relieve her tension.
After gulping down a large cup of water, the class leader slowly handed the empty cup to me. Then, she stared at my pocket as if there was a terrifying man-eating monster inside.
The class leader furrowed her eyebrows and seemed to have understood something.
"Ye Lin, I heard that when people are in a life or death situation, they will do some impulsive and irrational things. Did you think too much when you were kidnapped yesterday …"
"Huh?" Even though I was kidnapped, I didn't feel like my life was in danger. Since I've been outnumbered many times in the past, and I was poisoned when I swallowed a Blue Flash Butterfly, I've become more and more patient. I don't feel like I escaped death yesterday.
The class leader was still trying to persuade me: "It's best if we don't see these kinds of TV dramas … cough … we're still too young …"
"Hey! Class leader, you definitely won't be able to guess what I'm going to give you! Don't make it sound like you already guessed it! " I held the pistol in my hand, "Normally, you'll only be able to get your hands on this thing after ten years, but it's good to enjoy it first …"
"I'd rather wait ten years." The class leader moved a few inches away from me and curled up her legs under the blankets, "If you take it out now, I definitely won't accept it … No, I'll definitely reject it! It's not legal or reasonable! "
"Hey! Class leader, you must have guessed wrong! " I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's indeed not legal, but it depends on whose reasoning it is … How about I give you a hint? Aiming at the heart will cause fatal damage … "
"You're exaggerating! It's not that powerful! "I don't know why the class leader would deny the power of the gun.
"Class leader, keep guessing, the next hint is the number six …"
"Isn't it just a hexagon?" Seeing the class leader's offended expression, it was as if I underestimated her intelligence.
Hexagon? I'm talking about a police revolver with a capacity of six rounds! Do you think the cross section of a revolver's magazine looks like a hexagon? I didn't pay much attention to it and always thought it was round …
"It doesn't really look like a hexagon, it's close to a circle." I said.
The class leader remained silent and looked at the gradually setting sun outside the window as if she was thinking about something serious.
"Do you have to take it out?" She spoke again after a while. I'm not sure if it was because she had a cold, but her voice sounded a bit hoarse.
"Um, I brought it from home and I was already super nervous. If I bring it back, it would be a bit …"
I'm telling the truth. It's not good for your heart to carry a gun around in China.
The class leader sighed. She had a different kind of lovable beauty when she was sick.
"Do you really think you understand me well enough? Did you already think of doing this when you were kidnapped yesterday? "
I scratched my head in confusion, "It does have something to do with me being kidnapped. Although I didn't think about it at the time, I felt like it had to belong to you …"
"It … has to belong to me …" The class leader repeated the words as if she was chewing on the meaning behind it. I'm not sure if the blush on her cheeks was caused by the lesion.
"That's right! It would only have value in your hands! "I added. This sentence made the class leader's body tremble.
"I know you participated in some film productions, but … shouldn't you use your pay on more meaningful things?"
"Pay?" I paused, "It has nothing to do with the pay! It's something you can only find by chance. Even if you want to buy it, there's nowhere to buy it! "
"How come there's nowhere to buy it?" The class leader was puzzled, "Not every large shopping mall has it …"
"Hey! Class leader, do you live in the same dimension as me in China? It's not something you can buy just because you want to … it was a coincidence that I was able to obtain it … "
"Is it passed down in your family?" The class leader began to make strange guesses, "Although I've heard that foreigners have this tradition, but for Chinese people …"
"Class leader, what are you talking about! Although it's the same system as your family heirloom … "
"I don't want it!" The class leader blushed again, "Ye Lin, you're too presumptuous! Why do you have to do it when I'm sick … cough cough … "
