I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 853: Calorie Exchange

Chapter 853: Calorie Exchange

“Die.”

Ai Mi was wearing professional Olympic level table tennis shoes, but her paddle movements were like that of an elementary school student.

The mechanical robot arm installed on the table tennis table by Dr. Yu had intelligence and was B-2’s close relative.

Compared to Ai Mi’s ‘ferocious’ smashes, the robot easily moved horizontally along the table to where it predicted the ball would land, then it gently lifted the ball and let it bounce back and land in a spot that was within Ai Mi’s reach.

It was obvious the robot arm was conceding points. Instead of calling the robot arm a ‘training partner’, it would be better to call it a playmate. Ai Mi’s table tennis skills aren’t going to improve at all even if she plays for over a thousand years with this of partner.

However, Ai Mi was still enjoying herself. If she was playing against the bodyguards, she could feel when they were letting her win on purpose. She would also get really irritated when she can’t receive the ball even when they give her an easy ball, but it would never happen against a robot.

“It’s rare that you would take the initiative to exercise.”

I praised Ai Mi after I closed the door to the fitness room.

Ai Mi, who was swinging her paddle, swept a glance at me.

“Hmph, who told you to bring maid Qin? I’m pretty sure I only invited you.”

Xiao Qin instantly embraced my arm. She was still able to act as my girlfriend in front of Ai Mi.

“I belonged to Ye Lin classmate since I was born and I’ll still belong to Ye Lin classmate after I die. I’ll go wherever Ye Lin classmate goes.”

Xiao Qin announced and it didn’t seem like she was joking.

Ai Mi’s bouncing ponytail blocked her vision, so she almost missed the ball and she took out her anger on Xiao Qin.

“Why are you so proud? The damn manservant will dump you eventually.”

Xiao Qin trembled when she heard and she hugged onto my arms tighter as if she was afraid that I would run away.

“Hey, Xiao Qin knows about us, so you can call me brother in front of her.”

I suggested to Ai Mi.

“No.” Ai Mi loudly refused while smashing the ball back to the other side, “If you’re with maid Qin, then you’re the manservant.”

“Damn manservant, pass me the towel that’s hanging on the wall.”

Xiao Qin wanted to go grab the towel for me, but Ai Mi shouted:

“I don’t want a towel that anyone else gets for me, I’ll throw it on the ground and step on it. Maid Qin, go grab a coke from the fridge for me, the password is 9527.”

Hey, the gym did indeed have a large three-door refrigerator next to a row of sofa chairs for people to rest, but why did you need a password to get a Coke? Also, wouldn’t it be more dangerous to put Ai Mi with a refrigerator full of Coke than locking up a cat with a goldfish?

I followed Xiao Qin to enter the password, only to discover: The bottom level of the fridge had a cabinet that was like a vending machine except there was only coke inside. It didn’t accept cash, only a password which will give you an aluminum can of coke.

It turns out that after Ai Mi sent B-2 out to buy coke multiple times, Peng TouSi and Dr. Yu decided: if Ai Mi wanted to drink coke, then it might as well be better to keep coke in the VIP building and give it to her as a reward for exercising.

All the equipment in the gym had high tech sensors that could approximate the amount of calories Ai Mi expends. Once she expends enough calories to equal a can of coke, a 4 digit password would be sent to Ai Mi’s phone, which could be used to redeem a can of coke.

Although she could exercise longer each day to receive more passwords, she can only redeem a max of one can per day. So if she receives a lot of passwords, she would have to save them for another day.

That’s why Ai Mi, someone who hates exercise and always tries to slack off, was playing table tennis in the fitness room.

It’s a good idea, Peng TouSi and Dr. Yu did a good job. It was basically a different version of the sister discipline plan. Ai Mi will work harder in areas she dislikes for the sake of coke and chips.

I brought the towel while Xiao Qin brought the coke. The two of us served Ai Mi from both sides after she had finished playing table tennis. Beads of sweat occasionally dripped off her face onto the floor as if she was a boxing champion who had just finished a match.

“Hmph, I was originally angry at Peng TouSi and Dr. Yu’s presumptuousness.”

After Ai Mi wiped the sweat off her face, she wrapped the white towel around her neck and gulped down the coke.

“Ahhh.” Ai Mi, who looked satisfied, continued to say, “I never expected coke to taste even better after exercise. That’s why I reluctantly forgave them.”

She was clearly trained like a monkey with a banana, but she still spoke as if she was dignified.

“It’s a shame I could only exchange chips once a week.”

Ai Mi finished over half the can of coke in an instant. She slowed down a bit so she wouldn’t finish it all at once.

“It would be nice if I could exchange burned calories for beer…” Ai Mi looked at the fridge with a longing expression, “How refreshing would it be to have a chilled beer after a workout.”

Ai Mi imagined it while licking her lips.

“You definitely can’t drink.” Xiao Qin suddenly said, “Drinking will harm your body and will turn into into… another person.”

Did Xiao Qin have that reaction because of what happened that night on Cui Song Mountain? I don’t think it turned you into another person, I think the alcohol simply released the beast that was hidden inside you.

“That only happens for inferior beer that inferior people drink.” Ai Mi, who had never drunk before, assumed, “The highest quality beer that high quality people drink definitely helps your body and mind. It will aid digestion and make you live longer.”

Ai Mi accidentally finished her coke while she was speaking. Her expression changed when she found and and she clenched the empty can as if it had just insulted her.

“Damn it, I worked so hard but my happiness ended so quickly.”

Ai Mi angrily threw the can on the ground. At the same time, the robot arm on the ping pong table made the same electronic voice as B-2.

“Beep. Your throw expended 15 calories. It has been added to your total calories expended, please continue to work hard.”

“What’s the point of working hard.” Ai Mi yelled at the robot arm, “I can only exchange one can of coke a day.”

Ai Mi then pointed at the fridge and ordered me:

“Manservant, smash it until coke comes out.”

“Beep. The refrigerator’s coke storage room is as safe as a Swiss bank, even C4 bombs can’t destroy it. If it is opened by force, it will trigger the self-destruct program and all the Coke will be mixed with an Isatis root solution…”

What is this joke? Americans spread rumors that Coke can cure colds and the Chinese spread rumor that Isatis root can prevent SARS. If Ai Mi, who is half Chinese and half American, drinks it, then wouldn’t it make her invulnerable to all poisons?

The robot hand seemed to understand most of our conversation like B-2, but it had no ability to learn and wasn’t as talkative as B-2. It would only make explanatory comments when it came to gym equipment.

“Damn, everyone’s against me.”

Ai Mi bent down to pick up the empty Coke can she threw on the floor to make sure there wasn’t any liquid left in it.

It goes without saying that it was completely empty. If she didn’t throw the can, then maybe there might have been a few drops left, but now…

“Damn it.” Ai Mi angrily threw the can down again.

“Beep. Your throw this time expended 20 calories. There’s visible improvement compared to last time, please continue to work hard.”

The robot arm reminded in an untimely manner.

“Don’t be angry.” I persuaded, “I’ve already done as you asked and tricked… no, invited the class leader here this Sunday.”

“Is that so.” Ai Mi’s anger turned into joy, “I didn’t expect you to be quite capable. As expected, you also want to see Katyusha in a maid’s outfit, right?”

“The class leader in a maid outfit?” Xiao Qin frowned, “The class leader promised you she would wear a maid outfit for you on Sunday? It seems like she would use any means necessary to snatch Ye Lin classmate away from me.”

I’ve said before that Xiao Qin could act as my girlfriend in front of Ai Mi, so she went back to her old train of thoughts. Should I say it’s her acting skills or her original thoughts?

“It’s not that complicated.” I explained, “Ai Mi wanted to get her revenge and it would let the class leader play with Obama longer. Don’t you feel like Obama is much cuter with his swollen mouth?”

“Then I’ll also come Sunday.” I wasn’t able to trick Xiao Qin.

“I’ll also wear a maid outfit and I won’t lose to the nasty supporting female.”

“Keep dreaming.” Ai Mi said, “If you want to get cuter, go look for the bamboo viper that Dr. Yu is raising. Also, I haven’t prepared a maid outfit that fits you…”

“Then go prepare it now.” Xiao Qin clenched her fists and said, “With Miss Ai Mi’s financial power, it could be done easily. Also, there’s still more than 30 hours away from Sunday.”

“Tsk.” Ai Mi still looked like she didn’t care, “Both you and Katyusha are enemies, why would I help you?”

“It’s because I’m ‘Maid Qin’.” Xiao Qin said, “Wouldn’t it be pathetic to be ‘Maid Qin’ and not even have a maid’s outfit?”

Ai Mi, who was reminded of this point, seriously thought about it, “That’s true…”

“Also, the principal of Qing Zi Academy is my uncle.” Xiao Qin threw out her trump card, “Although the beginning of the term exams have passed, there are still midterm exams and final exams.”

Ai Mi’s white face became even whiter. I’m afraid the sweat running down her cheeks wasn’t all due to exercise.

“I know, I’ll prepare a maid outfit for you as well when the time comes, but don’t ever think that it’s because I’m afraid of you, it’s just a uniform that I’m issuing to you.”
