I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 270 – Ice Cold Handcuffs

Every time Auntie Ren went to get food, Xiao Qin would give me some crab and shrimp meat with the shells removed. She rested her head against her hand while giggling and watched me with the expectation that I would eat it all.

“I don’t really like seafood.” I said to her, “You should leave it for yourself.”

Xiao Qin showed an exceptionally disappointed expression.

“But, but seafood has a lot of nutrition. You should grab a few oysters for yourself, I heard from Sis Ying Ran it boosts testosterone.”

Why do I need more testosterone? Didn’t you run away from my nuclear mushroom last time? If I ate it and need a place to vent, will you take responsibility?

Auntie Ren came back and heard me say ‘take responsibility’ and frowned:

“What are you saying you damn brat. Why does my daughter have to take responsibility? Even if someone has to take responsibility, it’s you. Even if Xiao Qin did do something wrong, you can’t bully her, I’ll take responsibility for her.”

After being berated by Auntie Ren, I lowered my head in shame, but I thought in my mind:

Auntie Ren, you can’t take responsibility. If I had too much lust from eating oysters and I went to you, it would be a tragedy.

When I went to get some roast suckling pig (while helping Xiao Qin get some more seafood), I noticed Su Qiao who was wearing a green veil dress.

She was like a completely new person compared to two weeks ago.

An oval-shaped face, the yellow and skinny body caused by wearing heavy armor and being exposed to the sun was gone. It was replaced by radiating health and vigor. Although her hair was not as black as the class leader’s, her long ponytail was braided carefully. In addition, she had a small body type and acts docile when speaking, so she gives off the airs of a traditional beauty.

The light green veil dress suited her. Now she doesn’t have to worry about having nothing to wear like last time when she wore a sweater on a hot day.

I also noticed she had a delicate and exquisite cellphone strapped on her right wrist like a watch. It would be more accurate to call it a decoration instead of a cellphone.

As expected, minor characters are treated completely differently than actual actors. If my evil monk role had an actual line, I might have earned more money.

Every time Su Qiao met me, she would thank me.

“Mr. Ye, the only reason I’m here today is all thanks to you...”

I can’t stand it, you’re older by three years, you should be ‘Mr’. I’m not used to a young lady speaking to me respectfully.

“It’s a shame Mr. Ye’s scenes came to an end today. Will you still come here in the future?”

Will I still come in the future... it’s something I need to think more about. Although I can see Ai Mi perform while keeping an eye on Kyle, I also have to face Auntie Ren’s and Xiao Qin’s harassment.

At this time, Su Qiao’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and listened for a while and her originally cheery expression turned dark and gloomy.

“I... I’m sorry.” She apologized, “Something came up, I have to go.”

The person on the other end of the phone could have been a very important person as Su Qiao looked like a servant talking to the queen.

It might have been a misconception, but it felt like Su Qiao furtively glanced at me a few times before she hung up. Her gaze even carried a bit of pity.

Are you joking? It’s only that my time as an actor is over, it’s not like my life is over. Why do I need your pity, I’m someone who can demolish five steaks, and six plates of fried chicken.

I realized Xiao Qin and Auntie Ren were gone when I returned to my seat.

According to the testimony of the scene artist who sat next to us: Xiao Qin got a stomachache after eating too much sashimi her mom brought. Then when her stomach was in terrible pain, she still screamed out loud:

“I’m waiting for Ye Lin classmate to come back and take me to the washroom!”

Auntie Ren dragged Xiao Qin to the washroom in a fit of rage.

Thus I was able to enjoy a 4-person table by myself for the time being. It’s actually better this way since I can eat freely without feeling stressed.

I quickly devoured the plate of roast meat and drank a glass of apple juice, but Xiao Qin and her mom still did not return.

Did they go to a washroom outside of this area because the line was too long? Since I had nothing to do, I got up to get more food.

I didn’t have anything valuable at my seat, only a bag I brought to carry a sports drink.

So, I left my bag on my seat and carefully chose another plate from the buffet.

When I returned with a heaping plate of meats, I bumped into Su Qiao.

She seemed to be startled and took a step back. She placed her slender hands over her chest and for some unknown reasons it was trembling non-stop.

“Eh, didn’t you say you had to leave?” I asked.

Su Qiao couldn’t look me straight in the eyes, the tears in the corners of her eyes made her seem in distress.

“Mr. Ye, I came back to get something...”

She hid her right hand behind her back, but I already knew she had nothing in her hands other than her novel cellphone.

Su Qiao’s peculiarities didn’t really draw my attention. Who knows why women change attitudes in a split second. Maybe she had an unplanned period and she forgot to bring tampons.

I subconsciously glanced at her lower body, but there were no red bloodstains on her semi-translucent dress.

“Mr. Ye, I...” Su Qiao began to speak but hesitated.

Huh, there’s something wrong with her gaze. What’s with the anguish and remorse in her eyes? Is she in love, does she want to confess to me? Please don’t, my inner Spartan just climbed back up the cliff, don’t make my life even more chaotic.

After a brief session of inner turmoil, Su Qiao turned away apologetically without even saying goodbye.

Why bother? Love is boring, you might as well value your career and don’t fall in love with the wrong people.

When I returned to my seat, Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin were both still gone, and the neighboring table of art staff were all drunk.

I reminisced on Su Qiao’s attitude. I couldn’t help but gain the misperception that I was becoming more popular with the ladies.

They all say girls get prettier as they get older, perhaps I also became more handsome.

I pulled out my cellphone and took a selfie to admire.

Not bad. Sharp edges and contours, the evil atmosphere of the corners of my eyes and eyebrows have the style of the male protagonist of anime, of course, it’s the male protagonist of a H anime.

If I didn’t become more handsome, why did it feel like Su Qiao was interested in me. It’s not like she was Xiao Qin and bullied me for multiple years until she developed a reliance...

I suddenly realized that on the floor, under my shabby backpack, there was a group of flecks similar to tea leaves.

I was a bit baffled but left it alone and thought it came from the table next to mine.

Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin still were not back when my stomach ballooned up, but I received a text from Xiao Qin:

“Go home. Xiao Qin got a stomachache from the seafood, so I took her home.”

It looks like Auntie Ren sent me a text with Xiao Qin’s phone.

After stuffing my belly, I picked up my bag and looked around the set one last time. I had complicated emotions and I walked out of the dining room and towards the subway station.

10 minutes before I reached the subway station, I opened the Taobao app on my phone out of boredom. I walked while checking the news on the store, afraid ‘Cilantro Buns’ would leave a bad review.

When I was about to enter the subway station, I saw two plain-clothed officers on guard. I knew they were from the counter-narcotics team, specifically tasked to prevent suspicious people from bringing drugs from film city.

They were different from the anti-pornography brigade and I held some respect for them. They can be said to be fighting on the front line against the most vicious drug traffickers.

Thus I raised my hand and did a military salute to show my goodwill.

Who knew the two of them would glance at each other, then walk over with serious faces and block my way.

“Young man, can you please open your backpack, we need to do an inspection.”

Huh, is it a crime to salute. Even if my form was wrong, you can’t arrest me because of it.

Or is it because I look like a bad guy. Even if counter-narcotics police are under a lot of pressure, you can’t wrongly accuse me based on my appearance.

I hid my bag behind me, straightened my back and said:

“Hey, I’m a law-abiding citizen. What will happen if you damage my innocent and pure heart by suspecting me? I’ll admit defeat if you find something, but will you apologize if you don’t find anything?”

Perhaps it was because they never encountered an unreasonable target before, but one of the police officers made everything clear as he said without emotions:

“We received an anonymous report that someone who looks like you is carrying drugs. Please cooperate with us.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“I can’t believe you guys believe pranks. Let alone drugs, I don’t even smoke.”

In order to prove my innocence, I pulled open the zipper and showed them my bag.

“Look, where’s the drugs. There’s only a half bottle of sports drink...”

Ehhhhhhhhhhh...???

What is this tightly sealed package that looks like tea leaves? I don’t remember carrying this...

Isn’t this fucking weed....!
