I’m Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

I suddenly remembered I forgot something important after I put the bikini and the uniform in the bag.

The class leader never said she would sew my buttons for free! It’s not like my buttons fell off because I was protecting her, so I should use the Taekwondo coupons as an exchange.

I flipped through the drawers and pulled out twenty something coupons and stuffed it into the Qing Zi Academy uniform’s pockets.

This way the class leader would be surprised when sewing the buttons Akin to hiding a wedding ring inside the cake, this way of giving presents is much more romantic.

On Thursday, everyone watched the receding flood with disappointment as they had to return to school.

“Did Ye Lin classmate think of me yesterday?” Xiao Qin laughed foolishly and greeted me.

“I didn’t have the time to think of you.” I answered rudely.

“Ye Lin classmate must have heard something from a bad person, so you’re suddenly treating me worse. Did the class leader say something bad about me?”

I didn’t even meet the class leader yesterday, and why would she say anything bad about you? Yesterday, I acted crazy with Ai Mi.

Xiao Qin placed her hand on her chest and sighed in relief.

“Oh, so you were with your sister, as long as it’s not the class leader…”

“But in modern times, it’s not like there aren’t any perverts who want to push down their own sisters….”

“But there’s no way Ye Lin classmate is that perverted to the point where he would want to marry his own sister, right?”

“No shit.” I said sternly, “How could I marry my own sister? I only like her as a brother.”

Xiao Qin bit her finger with unease, “Then… do you swear?”

“I swear.”

“Swear to your girlfriend that you won’t develop any abnormal relationship with your sister and it will always be pure sibling love.”

“That’s easy.” I raised my right hand, “I swear in the name of the martyrs: My sister will always be my sister. I will never look at her as a woman and will never develop a taboo relationship with her.”

“Why are you swearing on the name of martyrs?” Xiao Qin said with dissatisfaction, “Don’t people usually swear in the name of powerful entities like God or Mother Mary?”

I scoffed at her.

“Fine, I’ll do another vow if you want me to swear in the name of God.”

“…I promise to uphold my previous promise in the name of the Monkey King.”

“Why is it a monkey? Can you be a bit more serious?”

“Fine, fine.” I stopped the argument, “Basically, it doesn’t matter if it’s my current sister or any other sisters who appear later on, I will always maintain a proper distance as siblings.”

After seeing my resolution, Xiao Qin swallowed her doubts, but then she asked with suspicions:

“What do you mean by other sisters? Is Uncle Ye going to remarry? Even if that’s the case, you won’t necessarily get a younger sister!”

Hehehe, I chuckled inside. The sister I’m referring to is you. Even though I’m disturbed about the fact my dad and Auntie Ren hooked up, but I would have to make the best of it if it ended in the worst possible outcome. I’ll make sure you also get a taste of my pure brotherly love.

During our conversation, Xiao Qin also kept staring at the paper bag I was carrying.

“What’s in there, is it a gift for me?”

Xiao Qin closed her eyes.

I ignored her. She opened her eyes after a minute, but her awaited gift wasn’t in front of her.

“Did I open my eyes too early?”

Xiao Qin said as she closed her eyes again.

You won’t get a present even if you close your eyes for a thousand years.

I still didn’t feel at ease even after repeatedly telling Xiao Qin she would no longer be my girlfriend if she looked in the bag. That’s why after the first class, I told Xiao Qin to buy me a bottle of water so I could secretly bring the bag to the class leader.

The class leader was sitting at her desk writing something. I felt she purposely stayed at her spot to wait for me.

I put the bag on her desk and said: “I’ve brought the stuff, sorry to trouble you.”

“No need to be sorry.” The class leader didn’t stop writing, but she used her other hand to quickly stuff the bag into her desk as if she was afraid of being spotted.

I used a common tactic boys use to act cute and scratched the back of my head.

“Since the class leader has a lot of work every day, you have to manage the class, do homework, cook for your brother, volunteer at the pet hospital… and now you have to help me sew on buttons, I feel a bit bad…”

The class leader had a slightly sorrowed expression when I mentioned the pet hospital, but she quickly livened up and stuck out her hands:

“Give me the taekwondo coupons.”

“Huh?”

“What are you standing there for? Did you think I’m helping you sew buttons because I care about you? Please don’t misunderstand, I’m doing it in exchange for the coupons.”

Why do you have to be so frank? You already know I would have given you the coupons even if you didn’t help me fix the uniform.

Thus I said to her:

“Well, as for the coupons… I put it somewhere safe. Take another look when you get home and you should find it easily.”

The class leader looked at me suspiciously, I wasn’t sure if she already guessed I put it in the pockets.

Xiao Qin’s leg strength was indeed impressive as she returned shortly holding a bottle of water. A girl who’s usually so sickly ran back to the classroom all of a sudden left Niu ShiLi in a daze.

The class leader immediately straightened her back, then she looked away to pretend we didn’t just have an exchange.

Xiao Qin brought the bottle of water to me while panting heavily.

“Phew… phew… since it’s hot today, this was the last bottle of water left. Even the third year school beauty had her eyes on it, but she gave it to me after some friendly persuasion, what a good person.”

I’m not sure what Xiao Qin meant by ‘friendly persuasion’, but later on the school beauty would always avoid Xiao Qin every time she saw her.

“Hehe….” Xiao Qin looked at the class leader with a crafty gaze, “What are you guys talking about, it looks like you guys are having fun…”

“We, we’re talking about the basketball tournament.” The class leader replied with a rare lie.

“Hmph, your nose will grow longer if you lie.” Xiao Qin placed the chilled bottle of water on the class leader’s neck without warning. Even if her hair was on top, it still made the class leader shriek in surprise.

“It’s cold, Xiao Qin, what are you doing?”

“I’m helping you cool down. I’m a slightly better person than the school beauty.”

The class leader got up and wanted to tickle Xiao Qin as payback, but she sat back down when she considered the fact someone might see the bag in her desk.

The bell finally rang and I was able to get out of the awkward situation.

I don’t even know why I was so nervous because I want Xiao Qin to hate me.

After another class, the class leader actually came looking for me when Xiao Qin and Loud Mouth went to the washroom.

I was watching Niu ShiLi practice basketball from afar while keeping cool under a bayan tree.

The class leader walked right up to me angrily.

She was carrying the bag I gave her in class.

“Ye Lin, what are you trying to say with the thing you put with your uniform”

Oh, did you find the coupons? Of course, it’s for you and Shu Zhe to use. Did she think I gave her too much, it was free anyway.

Thus I signaled with my hands that it wasn’t a big deal.

“It’s a gift for you. You can try it out when you have time.”

The class leader’s face was flushed red with anger.

“You, you want me to use this?”

“That’s right.” I was curious about the class leader’s reaction, “If you don’t have time on weekdays because of school, you can try it out on the weekends.”

“You… do you always fantasize about me wearing these shameful clothes?”

Huh, why would it be shameful wearing a martial arts uniform? Even though the collars and sleeves might be a bit wide, nothing would be revealed if you wear underwear properly.

But I guess I’ve actually imagined the class leader in a uniform. She should look much cooler than He Ling.

I’m assuming I showed a lecherous appearance as I was thinking about the class leader in an uniform and she became angrier.

“Do you think I would be happy getting this as a present?”

“Well, you don’t have to get this upset. If you don’t like it, you can give it to Shu Zhe…”

“What? You want my brother to wear it?”

Shu Zhe wouldn’t seem formidable even if he puts on a taekwondo uniform. Why is the class leader staring daggers at me, the coupons are a sign of my good intentions!

“Hey, class leader, didn’t we already discuss previously that it’s mainly for your brother? I mean with your body, it doesn’t really matter if you use it or not…”

“What’s wrong with my body? Are you saying Xiao Zhe is more suited for it?”

The class leader had a look of disbelief and her long black hair began trembling from anger.

I added another sentence: “Haha, don’t forget to show it off to me once you guys make some progress.
