ED: Hey guys, for some reason I completely missed Wednesday’s chapter? It was like Wednesday disappeared from my brain lol. Sorry about that. I’m posting both chapters today. Happy Holidays!

  The class leader’s overwhelming sympathy made me uncomfortable. I was watching the weather report on TV while reaching over to get some fruits to eat.

  The dates were used to make soup, I don’t really like bananas, I can’t look at peaches, there were quite a few lychees remaining, but unfortunately you have to peel it.

  I suddenly remembered what the class leader said to me on the way to Xiao Qin’s home.

  I crossed my legs and acted self important, “If you really want to comfort me, peel some lychees for me!”


  If it was her usual self, the class leader would have thrown the lychee skin at my face. But after listening to Xiao Qin’s sob story, she felt that I was trying to endure the pain, so she accommodated me and started to peel the lychees.

  She used her nimble fingers to cut into the peel, carefully peeling it to prevent any juices from spraying out. In no time, the first white and plump lychee was peeled.

  The class leader held the lychee between two fingers telling me to take it.

  “I don’t want to move, feed it to me!”


  The reason why I played with her to this extent was because I wanted to get revenge for acting like my older sister earlier.

  I’ll have you know, it’s not easy becoming the Metal Blood Lone Wolf’s sister!

  Shu Sha’s forehead displayed an angry expression for a split second, but it was quickly defused into a gentle expression. She helplessly sighed, raised the lychee, and put it into my mouth trying her best to avoid touching me.

  I was holding the remote control in one hand, with one hand rested on the sofa. I finished eating the lychee without moving a hand.

  “I’m done, I need to spit the seed out!”


  The class leader stuck out one of her blindingly white hands and caught the seed that I spat out. She then threw it into a makeshift trash can she made from an old magazine.

  She didn’t even need me to ask and already started peeling the next lychee.

  Is this the kind of service you provide for your younger brother at home? I just wanted to test your tolerance levels, but you treat me like your younger brother?

  It was finally time for our city’s weather report. A female reporter dressed in a red suit regretfully announced: From today evening to tomorrow noon, the air quality will be abnormally terrible, the ‘breathable particulate matter’ concentrates has exceeded the international standards by 40 times. We recommend everyone to wear a face mask while outdoors and try not to exercise outdoors.

  Maybe it’s a dust storm blown from Beijing? How benevolent of them, they’re even sharing it with a small city like ours.

  By the way, Xiao Qin used to think that ‘breathable particulate matter’ meant that you could breathe in as much as you want and it wouldn’t bring you any harm. Until our biology teacher told us that once we breathe some of this particulates into our lungs, it’s difficult to expel through normal means and years of accumulation can lead to cancer.

  After Xiao Qin learnt about the particulates, she cried that she was fooled.The first thing she did was head to the pharmacy to buy two face masks, she wanted me to wear one with her. I felt it looked dumb, so after school even when there were sand particles flying around, I didn’t put on my mask. Xiao Qin saw that I didn’t wear my mask, so she removed her own too.

  “Aren’t you afraid of getting cancer? Why did you take off your mask?”


  “If Ye Lin classmate doesn’t wear one, then I won’t wear one either. I don’t want to live longer than Ye Lin classmate. If you died of illness, why would I continue on living alone……”


  When a gust of wind blew more dust towards us, she opened her mouth wide and tried to breathe in as much particulates as possible, so she would die before me.

  I had no choice but to put on my face mask. Xiao Qin stopped breathing in the particulate matter and happily wore her mask.

  “We’re like matching couples!”


  Xiao Qin giggled all the way home.

  Since the air pollution is pretty bad and DongShan Lake is pretty far, I’ll have to cancel my routine morning run.

  Will the kungfu grandpa be lonely when he doesn’t see me tomorrow morning?

  But air pollution is even more dangerous for seniors, so I’m guessing the grandpa will cancel his morning practice.

  Whatever, let’s not think about that for now.

  I unknowingly already ate the third lychee that the class leader peeled for me.

  Humans are really lazy creatures. I know that there’s a justifiable reason why I don’t need to run tomorrow morning and I’m a bit happy. Now that the class leader is feeding me lychee, even when I know it’s wrong to take advantage of her sympathy, it feels too good and I can’t stop.

  Another one, just let me eat one more…… After eating the fourth lychee that she’s peeling right now, I won’t eat anymore……

  I was a bit rushed when I bit the final lychee and almost bit the class leader’s fingers. Just when I was enjoying the sweet nectar of the lychee, Xiao Qin’s gloomy face suddenly appeared from behind the sofa.

  “I only left you two alone for a while and you’re already feeding each other! If I left you guys alone any longer, it would have turned into mouth to mouth feeding!”


  Her words were filled with resentment like a soul that came from hell.

  The class leader leapt from the sofa with a scream as if she just saw Sadako. It took a while for her to realize that the long haired girl with two hands perched on top of the sofa was Xiao Qin, only then was she able to stand firmly.

  “Ah——you scared me, when did you leave your room? Didn’t you say you wanted some time alone to think about the past?”


  It was even worse for me, I half-swallowed the half-eaten lychee and almost choked to death.

  It took a while of pounding my chest while coughing before I finally spat out the lychee.

  Xiao Qin was still like a hateful soul gripping onto the sofa while hatefully staring at the class leader:

  “Class leader, didn’t you say that early romantic relationships are harmful? Why did you start flirting with Ye Lin classmate when I wasn’t here?”


  “I……”


  I’m not sure if she scared by Xiao Qin’s Sadako appearance, but the class leader was momentarily left speechless.

  “You were the one who wanted Ye Lin classmate to go home ,but now you’re feeding him lychee…… How can you be so fickle!”


  Shu Sha took a deep breath and finally settled down.

  “Peeling lychees for him was just to comfort him! There’s no other meaning! Also, I wasn’t the one who volunteered to peel it for him, he asked me to do it!”


  “Eh? So you did it because he asked you to? So if he asked you to use other methods to comfort him, would you do it too?”


  “No way……”


  Ah, I can almost see it, the class leader’s white fighting spirit was almost completely engulfed by Xiao Qin’s black fighting spirit. One side is having troubles explaining and one side is full of hatred…… On top of that, recently the class leader’s justice devil fighting power seems to be getting weaker. Does she lose fighting power every time she goes against her principles?

  Are you a holy warrior from D&D or something? Do you lose god’s blessing when you do something bad and you can’t even use smite anymore?

  But what did you do that’s bad? I’m not the demon lord, why should you receive divine punishment when you only helped me peel some lychees?

  Xiao Qin was still unwilling to forgive:

  “Class leader, you just heard about my tragic past, it was clearly touching, why are you trying to steal Ye Lin classmate away from me?”


  Ah, she even had the audacity to mention that story. I still haven’t got you back for fabricating a brother for me!

  When she mentioned this point,the class leader’s white fighting spirit rose dramatically in an instant and she even stood more firmly than before.

  She had no signs of hesitation and she had a firm and unyielding gaze.

  “Xiao Qin, the abnormal love you have for Ye Lin is wrong!”


  “Eh?”


  Xiao Qin wasn’t prepared for the class leader to suddenly toughen up.

  “Whether you want to hear it or not, I have to something to say: the one you love isn’t Ye Lin! You can’t make foolish statements like ‘use my life to repay you’ simply because of guilt! You’ll only harm yourself and Ye Lin won’t be happy either!”


  “Eh?”


  “Do you still not understand? The photo you keep on your dresser is a picture of the younger brother, not of Ye Lin! You clearly like the younger brother, why are you using Ye Lin as a substitute?”


  Xiao Qin was at a loss for words after the class leader’s righteous statements.

  Xiao Qin’s black fighting spirit started to slowly recede.

  After a while, Xiao Qin sheepishly raised her hand to request to speak.

  “Speak!”


  The class leader commanded with her hands placed at her hips.

  “Class leader…… the boy in the picture isn’t Ye Lin’s younger brother……”


  “Ah? Now you’re saying it’s not him? Then who’s the one in that photo?”


  “It’s…… a photo of Ye Lin! I just made up that previous story! Ye Lin doesn’t even have a younger brother!”


  Xiao Qin realized the consequences of lying and she tearfully pleaded the class leader to believe her.

  The class leader glanced at me, I laughed sarcastically while gesturing that I had no need to retort.

  That’s right! Xiao Qin was talking about my photo! Only ghosts would actually believe you! I don’t look anything like the shota in the picture. Since the class leader heard your story first, she would definitely think you’re trying to deny the truth!

  “It’s true! Ye Lin classmate was really cute as a child! I’ve always liked him!”


  “Then how do you explain his attitude towards you?”


  “Eh?”


  “If his younger brother didn’t go missing, why does he treat you so badly?”


  “That’s because……”


  Xiao Qin started to speak but couldn’t finish her sentence. She wants to forget her dark history as the Little Tyrant, so she can’t tell anyone, especially not the class leader.

  “Come with me! Let’s chat in your room!”


  Once she was shrouded in the light of justice, the class leader received a substantial increase in both vigor and strength. She grabbed Xiao Qin by her collar with both hands and dragged her into her room, then she tightly shut the door with her hips.

  “Don’t eavesdrop!”


  The class leader ordered through the door.

  Even though I couldn’t see her, I still slightly lowered my head in compliance.

  After I realized this, I was astonished. When did I start evolving into her loyal dog?

  In order to offset the class leader’s bad influence, I switched to the sports channel. I’m watching a replay of the Chinese National Football Team’s loss.

  Look, take a good look at the expression of defeat on these men’s faces! It’s not scary losing once, it’s scary to constantly lose! Next time, I’ll definitely win!

  But, deep down, I don’t quite understand where I lost and I don’t really know how to win in the future.

  I only hope there’s no more trouble for the remainder of the night.
