Today was one of the rare occurrences where gym class was right after the break, so we ended up having an extra hour of free time.
The weather became clear after the rain. There were some uneven ground on the field where you could see small puddles of water.
The sun wasn’t very bright and a cool breeze would blow by once in a while. It was a perfect day for exercise.
I played a bit of 3v3 with our class’ basketball team. I was shocked by Niu ShiLi’s improvement, he was almost able to do a layup over me.
Sun Yu had the worst performance out of all the team members. I have suspicions that he’s wasting all his energy playing taboo games with the school doctor.
Xiao Qin stood next to the basketball court throughout the entire game. She was standing cautiously with her hands on her thighs while looking at me with affection.
Due to intense movements when I was trying to grab the rebound, my shirt lifted a bit and exposed a portion of my abs. Xiao Qin was like a beast who caught a whiff of some wild game and she had ?!?!?!?!?! in her eyes.
Stop acting love-struck near me, you’re distracting me. That’s why Niu ShiLi was able to take the ball away from me!
I also noticed Xiao Qin cherished her running shoes and she avoided all of the puddles. Every time someone would run by spraying flecks of mud towards her, she would move slower and carefully evade it.
That’s why her running shoes still looked brand new even after wearing it for an hour after it rained.
That’s enough, are you trying to advertise those running shoes? The point of running shoes is for exercise, it will start crying in its sleep if you only wear it for display.
I wasn’t able to concentrate when Xiao Qin was a spectator, so I stopped after playing a few rounds.
I left the basketball court to stroll around leisurely and Xiao Qin followed behind me like she was my tail, something I couldn’t shake off no matter how hard I tried.
“Hey, didn’t I say you can’t let anyone know you’re my girlfriend at school?”
“Um… I’m a fragile girl trying to ask the strongest boy in our class how to improve my physical health….”
I’m not the strongest in our class, that’s Niu ShiLi. Besides, calling yourself fragile is the furthest from the truth since you can run, jump, and even fly.
When we passed by a puddle, I wanted to mess around with her so I stamped in the puddle sending dirty water flying everywhere.
Hahaha, now it looks like your running shoes will get dirty.
Xiao Qin immediately recognized the danger. In order to protect the running shoes I gave her, she rushed forward to catch all the mud with her jacket and hair.
Are… you dumb? Shoes will always get dirty. Even if you were able to preserve it indefinitely in its current state, you will grow out of it one day because of puberty. Or are you saying you don’t mind staying at your current height for the rest of your life as long as your chest can get a little bigger?
Xiao Qin smiled even though she had specks of mud on her face:
“It’s a good thing the running shoes Ye Lin classmate gave me are fine…”
“Did you bring napkins?” I asked.
“Yup.” Xiao Qin quickly took out her pack of napkins and handed it to me.
I looked out to see if anyone was paying attention to us, then I pulled out two napkins to wipe the mud off on Xiao Qin’s face.
Xiao Qin was well-behaved and stood still like she was in front of a dentist.
But her face gradually turned red. She placed her hands coyly in front of her and pointed the tips of her feet towards each other.
“It seems Ye Lin classmate is treating me better because you discovered my talents.”
“What? I was only taking responsibility for my actions. What talents do you even have?”
“The talent for manga! As expected, do you like talented girls?”
Damn, how are you not embarrassed? I think it’s more accurate to say you have the talent to piss off manga editors instead of talent for drawing manga. Besides, how are you a ‘talented’ girl? Recently, the girls have been playing a ‘Chambers of Imperial Concubines QQ Group Game’. There’s an announcement in the group which states all new palace maids must display their talents such as poetry writing, or singing, but they don’t want any girls who know martial arts.
Did you hear that? You’re the type even concubine groups don’t want. They will worry you would assassinate the emperor if they let you join!
There was a piece of mud stuck on the bridge of Xiao Qin’s nose that was hard to remove. Even though Xiao Qin had already shut her eyes so I could use some force, I feel like I would damage her skin if I rubbed too hard.
Ah, I’m so kind. I still remember the past when the Little Tyrant would constantly injure my skin and I would always return home riddled in scars and bruises. The worst part was when she would sometimes catch me in excitement and tell me she wanted to ‘treat’ my injuries.
She would directly put things like orange juice, hot spicy soup, and leftover Popsicle sticks straight onto my wounds. It’s a miracle I haven’t died from an infection. The worst time was when she used superglue to close a wound I had on my eyebrow. *You shouldn’t use superglue on living things, please don’t imitate this at home.* It hurt like hell. I remember when I was rolling on the ground in pain and she actually told me to endure it because ‘good medicine tastes bitter’.
I suddenly recalled recent news about failed plastic surgeries where they would inject silica gel into people’s faces… did I turn from a cute shota into my current state because of the superglue Xiao Qin put on me? Damn it, you ruined my face, how are you going to repay me? What if I can’t find a wife?
Ah, wait, it seems Xiao Qin was ready to offer herself as an apology, so it’s not like I can say her apology isn’t sincere.
I should make it clear: the reason why I didn’t want to use too much strength was not because I was worried about damaging my future wife’s skin, but because I know girts protect their own skin like how boys protect their balls. (Sorry for the vulgar comparison, but I feel it’s accurate) That’s why even if it’s the Little Tyrant, I won’t hit her face in retaliation for the things she did to me in the past.
Right when I was worried about how to remove the mud, Xiao Qin opened her eyes and made a suggestion:
“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, if the mud is too dry, all you have to do is add some spit onto the napkin…”
She said as the corners of her lips lifted into an uncontrollable smile and her shoulders also began to tremble in excitement.
Do I have to rub my spit on your face? Keep dreaming. There’s no need for us to play around with indirect kisses when we’ve already had a French kiss before.
I said in a sour mood: “My spit is too valuable, so you should use your own.”
Then I pulled out a new napkin and moved it next to Xiao Qin’s lips.
My intention was for her to lick the napkin, so I can use the wet napkin to wipe away the mud on her face.
I didn’t expect her to completely ignore the napkin. She suddenly clamped onto my index finger and held it in her mouth.
She began sucking on it while looking at me with large innocent eyes.
Please don’t make my imagination go wild. I was wearing thin and loose shorts in order to play basketball. If there were any changes at all inside, it would stick out!
We were in the middle of the playground in a public place. There were a couple of girls playing badminton near us, but if they saw us, I would never be able to clear my guilt.
However, I didn’t immediately pull my finger out because as my finger met her tongue in her warm and wet mouth, it reminded me of a cat’s tongue and gave me an illusion of playing with a small animal.
Xiao Qin’s goal was to give me the illusion that she was cute and not dangerous at all, that I could spend the day petting her head… keep dreaming, felines are all hidden killers. I’ve personally seen the cat in my grandparent’s house kill a bunch of sparrows. Who knows when your sharp claws will attack certain parts of my body when I turn my back on you…
Thus I pulled my finger from out between Xiao Qin’s lips with a pop.
It seems as if she still wanted to continue.
“Ye Lin classmate tastes a bit salty…”
No shit, of course I’m salty. I’m covered in sweat since I just finished playing basketball.
In any case, I finally had some spit, so I rubbed it on her nose and used the napkin to wipe away the mud.
I also wiped away the mud on her hair. I left the mud on her clothes because most of them were on her chest.
Even if Xiao Qin had a pathetically flat chest, I still didn’t want to rub a girl’s chest in public.
I was still dissatisfied with how Xiao Qin’s running shoes were like new. I had to think of a different way to make them dirty.
I looked around and noticed the two girls was tried of playing badminton and they were planning on returning it.
Wait, isn’t that Loud Mouth and Little Smart? One’s way too fat and the other’s way too skinny, you guys should get more exercise.
I suddenly had a bright idea and took their rackets and planned to play with Xiao Qin.
Loud Mouth wanted to tease us a bit, but she was panting like crazy, so she went to rest by the flower gardens with Little Smart supporting her.
I handed one of the rackets to Xiao Qin, then I told her to back up and purposely told her to stop near a puddle.
“Hmph, you should play some badminton to exercise because you’re fragile. Get ready to receive my hit.”
I threw the birdie high in the air and took a deep breath. I exerted all my strength and smashed it towards Xiao Qin.
