Chapter 39 – Lobster Alien
Chapter 39 – Lobster Alien
When I was wandering in the hallway, I heard Loud Mouth and Little Smart quietly talking about the class leader.
“What’s wrong with the class leader today? Not only was she sleeping in class, she also had gotten so angry... it doesn’t really seem like her usual self?”
“I heard that the class leader and her brother quarreled last night, so she was restraining her anger and didn’t sleep at all.”
“A quarrel? Doesn’t her little brother listen to her?”
“Eh, that was in elementary school, he got more and more disobedient when he started middle school. I heard that last night, her brother went out to fight with someone! As for what exactly happened, the class leader wouldn’t say no matter how you asked.”
Noticing that I was not far behind them, the gossiping duo lowered their voice and Loud Mouth gave me a “scram” scowl.
Eh? Class leader here, you’re wrong. Why are you getting angry at me when your brother gets into a fight with someone. Is it because it’s not just your younger brother disappointing you, do you also think that there are no good men in this world?
When the bell was about to ring, I didn’t dare to walk into the classroom through the back door. I was afraid to meet the class leader who was sitting next to the back door.
Let’s go in from the front door.
As soon as I opened the front door, I saw the class leader holding a broom and was sweeping near the lectern with her head lowered.
Because she threw a blackboard eraser and a triangle ruler and messed up important teaching tools, I guess you have to take responsibility to clean it up yourself?
Gong CaiCai whispered something to the class leader, it seemed she wanted to go help, but did not get her consent.
“I’ll do it myself, it was my fault.”
She regained her usual cool-headed voice, but it included a bit of sadness.
The class leader’s desolate silhouette was quite self-punishing.
Because she was bending her waist and sweeping the floor, her long hair flowed down, blocking her nose and mouth, and I could only see the class leader’s eyes from where I stood.
What a sad pair of eyes!
The dark circles under her eyes due to a lack of sleep and the depths of her eyes were filled with self-criticism and blame for her violent behavior. Under the morning sun shining through the front windows, there is a shiny drop of unidentified material in the corner of her eyes.
Did she cry? No way, right? Aren’t you the justice devil that goes around upholding fairness. If you also cry, what are you going to use to protect the weak? What’s more, didn’t you say you were going to become a detective and bring bad people like me to justice? A female detective’s tears won’t be a deterrent to criminals!
I carefully stepped over the threshold of the classroom door.
The class leader couldn’t have not seen me, but unexpectedly she didn’t say anything to me.
It seems that what I do has nothing to do with her anymore.
The following math class clearly only lasts 45 minutes, but for me it felt like 45 days.
The class leader didn’t lie on her desk and sleep. She held her head with one hand and squinted at the blackboard in the distance with her panda eyes. Her brow was furrowed as if linear functions were confusing for her.
Xiao Qin also stared at the blackboard, like she was fascinated by linear functions.
I say, can you guys not look at linear functions like this? The math teacher is already feeling uneasy getting stared at by you two! Especially Xiao Qin, if you get a headache because of factorization, can you even understand this blackboard filled with linear functions? You actually don’t understand, right? Not even a bit, right?
If you don’t understand, why the hell do you have such a happy expression!
A blackboard full of knowledge that you don’t understand, if you were just a little studious, shouldn’t you be crying already?
Girls are too scary, you can’t guess what they are thinking whatsoever.
It’s quiet, the classroom is so quiet.
It seems like the oppressive atmosphere affected the entire class. Every once in a while, someone will look back at the last row. I don’t know if they’re looking at me or the class leader.
The math teacher is probably also puzzled. Today’s classroom discipline is surprisingly good, making him embarrassed to ask about it.
It cost me half my life to endure until the end of class.
The most frightening thing was that the class was clearly already over, and the student on duty has already erased the chalk on the blackboard, yet Xiao Qin was still staring in the direction of the blackboard.
Holy crap! She’s still holding her pen and copying something into her book? What are you copying! What do you see on a blackboard with no words? Do you want to scare me to death!
The class leader walked out of the classroom with her head down as soon as class ended as if she had something important to do.
I also crept out of the back door.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to follow the class leader. I’m not interested at all in where she’s going or what she’s going to do.
Even if she really cried, it wasn’t me that made her cry.
Who told these girls to not properly listen to me.
I clearly just wanted to introduce them to a job that could make money easily, but they made it seem like I was openly buying sexual favors in the classroom.
Why is it so difficult to be a good person these days!
After the end of the second class, there’s a break between classes. If you escape the radio exercise, you will have 30 minutes of free time.
I flipped over the back wall and prepared to look around the nearby small bookstores to see if there were any simplified version of the Bible.
Although the plan to get a student committee member to help copy is definitely ruined, but I’ll come up with an idea. I’ll think about it after I buy the simplified version of the bible.
I don’t want to mess up what Ai Mi requested me to do.
It’s not that Ai Mi has a high position in my mind, but I feel that if I failed the mission, Ai Mi’s ridicule will definitely make me lose face.
At the end of the snack street, there is a bookstore in a semi-basement, which mainly sells teaching reference books. It is said that H Manga and adult films can also be bought in the secret compartment.
Thinking about it, they’re halfway in the same trade as my family.
The music of the tenth set of radio exercises came from far away. Seeing that I entered the store at this time, the boss sized me up, and reckoned that I couldn’t have come to buy a reference book.
“What kind of films do you want? I have all kinds of films.”
The store owner was very confident about his store’s inventory.
Do I look that much like someone that’s buying an adult film? I’m not bragging, but I have loads of adult film and H Manga at home!
“I came to buy a book, is there a simplified version of the Old Testament?”
“Eh?”
The owner was astonished.
“The full name is the Holy Bible, Old Testament, which is equivalent to the upper part of the Bible. Do you have it here?”
The owner took a breath.
“I have a “Darkness Bible”, and it’s the full series, unofficial biography, special works... Eh? Young man, don’t leave!”
I must be going crazy to come to this degenerate place to buy the old testament.
Finally, I bought 10 checkered squared books in an another stationery store.
After returning to the sports field, there was still 10 minutes before class. I didn’t know what to do for a while, so I put my hands in my pockets and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
“Stop dazing out and go apologize!”
I was very flabbergasted that someone dared to talk to me like this. I looked down and realized it was the overbearing Loud Mouth.
“You’re quite gutsy, huh? Who do you want me to apologize to?”
I made a hoodlum expression, but it seemsed to be completely ineffective for Loud Mouth.
“Of course it’s apologizing to the class leader! Look at how you angered her!”
“I’m not going! It’s not like I did anything wrong!”
I wasn’t willing to show any weakness.
Loud Mouth squeezed her nose and eyes together.
“Do you know? After class, the class leader went to look for teacher Yu.”
“Ah? Why was she looking for the teacher in charge of the class? Even if she was going to tattletale on me, I’m not afraid of her!”
Loud Mouth sighed.
“It wasn’t to complain, the class leader went to resign...”
Resignation? Is she not going to be the class leader anymore? Was it because she took the lead in breaking classroom discipline, hit her classmate, so she feels that she’s not qualified to be the class leader? But if you’re not the class leader, who else will stand to uphold justice? Nobody has been bullied in the second grade class 3. Isn’t that all thanks to you?
Is this related to what happened last night? Because your brother didn’t listen to you and went out to fight, so you felt that you had completely failed both as a sister and as a class leader. Was it to the extent that you wanted to renounce yourself and give up your spot?
Stop joking! There’s no one more suitable in our class to be the class leader than you! If you are not the class leader, I wouldn’t even know what to call you! No matter how many difficulties you encounter, clench your teeth and endure it!
“So... did the teacher in charge of our class agree?”
I tried to not let myself show my worried expression.
“How could teacher Yu agree?”
Loud Mouth laughed out loud.
“If Shu Sha wasn’t the class leader, teacher Yu wouldn’t even be able to control the students in our class! So the expression on teacher Yu’s face at the time was even more anxious than your current expression”
“Who’s anxious! Stop speaking drivel...”
Hearing that Shu Sha will continue to be the class leader in the future, I felt slightly more settled.
“Go apologize!”
Loud Mouth steadily harassed me.
“Why should I apologize? It’s not like she actually resigned as the class leader!”
“Hmph, it’ll be too late to apologize when she actually resigns!”
Loud Mouth earnestly lectured me:
“I’m telling you, this time Shu Sha really wanted to resign. If was only because of teacher Yu’s persuasions that she agreed to continue working for a while longer.”
“If she wants to resign, then resign. Would she not resign just because I apologized? It’s not like it’s my fault...Ow, What are you doing!”
Loud Mouth actually pinched my arm. You actually dared to get handsy, are you not afraid of me hitting you! It really hurts!
“Ye Lin, why are you so childish? You can’t even go and comfort a girl you angered to tears?”
When she said this, she still hasn’t let go of her hand that was pinching me, as if she would exert more strength if i didn’t agree.
“Stop joking! I don’t think of Shu Sha as a girl!”
“Eh? Then what do you think of her as?”
Loud Mouth asked curiously and at the same time threateningly tightened her hand on the flesh under my clothes.
“What else? The class leader!”
Loud Mouth exerted even more strength.
Stop pinching! Stop fucking pinching! Stop pinching you future Judo athlete! If you pinch anymore, my flesh is going to fall off!
“I don’t care how you see the class leader, just go apologize.”
“I won’t! I’ve never apologized to anyone before!”
“Stop putting on an act, is it harder than fighting against five people alone? Just help her a bit the next time the class leader is holding teaching aids, you can help, or simply treat the class leader to some fast food. Don’t you have a lot of money?”
A lot of money, your mom! The money I have to hire someone to copy the Bible is all Ai Mi’s money! Of course, I don’t feel bad about spending that American brat’s money! My allowance isn’t as much as you think! Although our online store is very shameful, all the money we earn is the hard work of honest labor!
However, listening to this, the misunderstandings that occurred in the classroom with Gong CaiCai seems to have been solved. I didn’t really say anything vulgar, but it’s because of loyal dog bro’s embellishments that the class leader is so angry, right?
It seems like until I halfheartedly say that I might find an opportunity to apologize, Loud Mouth wont release my hand.
“It’s already Friday, I’ll give you another week. If I still haven’t heard that you apologized to the class leader by next Friday...”
She stared at me while moving her right hand like a lobster.
Tsk, what of it! At best, I’ll find a chance to help Shu Sha to move some stuff and murmur, “Don’t be angry.” Who cares if she hears it or not, it’s fine as long as I apologize!
In contrast, Xiao Qin’s state is more worrying...
