Chapter 607: Hide From The Class Leader
The class leader held onto the leash tightly as if I was about to snatch away her treasure.
“You and Xiao Qin… and Winnie, seem to be having a lot of fun. Why can’t you let me have the puppy for a while?”
The class leader unexpectedly used a headstrong tone as she said to me.
Not only did she call the fat Obama a puppy, she also implied that I should pity her.
I only thought it was difficult for the class leader to maintain order while watching a dog, so I wanted to help, but now I look like the bad guy.
“Then take good care of him.” I said, “Obama will belong to you from now until tomorrow when we get back to the city, but…”
“But what?” The class leader thought I had some sort of condition.
“But you have to let me take a picture of you in your swimsuit as a souvenir, jie jie jie jie…”
I didn’t actually say that or I would have become Eunuch Cao.
“But you are staying in the same room as Gong CaiCai. Where are you going to keep the dog when you sleep because it seems Gong CaiCai is really afraid of large dogs…”
“I’ll think of a solution.” The class leader, who originally thought I would make an unreasonable demand, breathed a sigh of relief.
I walked back towards Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue, but when I was walking back, I spotted Xu LiJun hiding behind a tree and drinking a can of beer.
“You’re quite bold. You’re only in middle but already drinking and smoking, are you not afraid of getting caught by the class leader.”
“Shhh. It’s wasteful not drinking a beer with barbecue in the summer. It was really hard for me to sneak this here, now the class leader is distracted by the dog, so there’s no better time to drink it.”
“That’s true… but after you finish, make sure to deal with the empty can properly, because if the class leader finds it…”
“Don’t worry, I already thought about it. I’ll stuff it in my bag and take it down the mountain with me.”
I nodded to affirm his disposal method, Xu LiJun then said: “I have another can, you want it?”
It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’m actually weak against alcohol.
And once drunk, I’ll become a people pleaser and try to fulfill anyone’s request.
That’s how Xiao Qin took advantage of me once while I was drunk and asked me to hug her the whole night. I actually agreed to it, but I can’t remember the details now.
So I rejected Xu LiJun’s offer, “I’m good, I don’t want the class leader to sic a dog on me…”
“Ye Lin, you’re slowly becoming one of the class’ core officers, eh.” Xu LiJun said while sipping on some beer.
“Huh, what do you mean?”
“You’re already starting to follow the class leader’s rules! In a few more days, I might not even be able to smoke in front of you anymore in the washroom.”
“No way.” I quickly denied it, “I’m still me. Also, try to lay off on the smokes and alcohol. I’ll keep you sidelined in the next tournament if your ball skills drop.”
“Yes, Mr. PE committee member…” Xu LiJun mocked as he hid into a more hidden area.
“Hand it over, give it!”
A thunderous voice suddenly appeared from behind, I was almost startled to death and Xu LiJun almost choked on his beer.
I looked back and saw Xiong YaoYue with a smug face.
She had her hands on her hips, then laughed and stuck out her hand.
“Share a can with me.”
“Damn, why’s a girl trying to get in here?” I pushed her back and tried to get her to quiet down so we wouldn’t attract the class leader’s attention.
Xiao Qin was afraid of speaking to boys, so she was still at the same spot eating seafood. Since neither Xiong YaoYue and I were there to act as her cover, she slowed down her face.
But every time she had shrimp shells or fish bones, she would throw them into Xiong YaoYue or my trash can. Then every time girls passed by her, she would sigh and say something like:
“There’s so much trash, Ye Lin classmate and Winnie sure are gluttons.”
“Why would you drink beer?” Xu LiJun guarded his half can, “It’s not like you know how to enjoy it.”
“Tsk, you looking down on me?” Xiong YaoYue raised one of her brows, “Do you think you’re the only one who knows barbecue goes good with beer? I’ve drank at least ten different brands behind the class leader’s back. Compare to me, you’re still a late bloomer.”
I could even imagine when Xiong YaoYue was playing basketball with the boys in the commercial district or when she was acting as a member of the “Wasteland Wolves” team and won a match, she probably ate barbecue and drank beer with the boys many times.
Based on her personality, she would want to try anything she sees others eating or drinking. The others can’t really change her mind, so they don’t really care if she’s a minor anymore.
As more China’s ban on underage drinking, it’s not nearly as strict as America. A lot of family members don’t really care about it, there are even some grandparents who let their grandchildren taste vodka.
“You’ve drank ten different brands?” Xu LiJun was skeptical, then counted with his fingers and it seems he hasn’t drunk over ten brands.
“That’s right.” Xiong YaoYue proudly pointed to herself with her thumb, “I’m awesome, right? You can bow down and call me Sis Winnie, also I can drink over 20 cans in one party.”
If I drank that much at once, I’ll either die from alcohol poisoning or turn into a super people pleaser.
If Xiao Qin comes and says: “Ye Lin classmate, let’s get married.” Then I will drunkenly apply for a marriage certificate with her.
If the class leader says: “Want to register for the police academy together?” I will also fill out the application form.
If Ai Mi says: “Brother, make love with me.” I…
No, I can’t keep thinking about it. It will be messy if I get drunk, especially someone who gets easily drunk like me, so I can’t drink.
When Xu LiJun saw Xiong YaoYue keep bragging, he couldn’t help but spit out: “You’re drinking with other boys outside of the school, right? You should be careful of getting drunk then getting gang raped.”
Xiong YaoYue usually jokes around with the boys like “Your balls hurt? Did you jerk off too much last night?”. These words weren’t taboo, so boys didn’t really hold back when speaking to her.
“They dare?” Xiong YaoYue made a ferocious feline expression, “And those weaklings can’t even handle their alcohol as well as me. They would hide under the tables before I’m even drunk. To this day, I still don’t know what it feels like to be drunk.”
I think it’s fair to say she has a black hole in her stomach?
“Well, if you’re not going to give me any beer, I’ll tell the class leader.” Xiong YaoYue threatened.
Xu LiJun got scared and could only say: “Fine, go get it from my bag yourself, but don’t say I gave it to you if the class leader catches you…”
Xiong YaoYue went happily to get the can of beer and hid by the brook to drink alone.
“Actually… it’s not that good…” she muttered to herself by the brook.
If it’s not good, then don’t drink it! Can you not control yourself just because you see someone else drinking it?
“Give me the empty can when you’re done.” I said to Xiong YaoYue while cautiously looking in the class leader’s direction.
“Why? Are you selling scraps?”
“Where would I find a recycling station in the middle of nowhere? I want to properly dispose of the can, otherwise if the class leader finds out, she will do a thorough investigation on who was drinking.”
“That’s true, here.” Xiong YaoYue finished the rest of the beer in a flash and handed me the empty can.
“I’m going to head back and have Xiao Qin continue feeding me skewers. Yosh, back to being the emperor’s father.”
Didn’t you just call yourself the emperor, so why are you now the emperor’s father? Are you aging, so in a bit you will be the late emperor?
I crushed the empty beer can in my hands and looked around but couldn’t find any good hiding spots for the time being.
Hiding it in the backpack and carrying down the mountain might not be the best plan, it could cause more trouble in the long run.
Throwing it in the brook will cause trouble for the people downstream. I think Xiao Qin’s worthless message in a bottle was enough trouble for them.
As i was hesitating, I suddenly heard two barks. It seems the class leader was coming this way while walking the dog.
I didn’t have much time to think, so I quickly hid behind some nearby thickets. If I was caught with the can, I would get another interrogation.
“Would… it really not bite me?”
First was Gong CaiCai’s voice. She was following behind the class leader and keeping a certain distance away from Obama.
“No, if you’re really afraid, I’ll let you… I’ll let you feed him.”
It seems the class leader made a painful decision since it’s a huge sacrifice to the class leader to share feeding rights with Gong CaiCai.
“For-, forget it… I think my hands will also get bitten with such a large mouth…”
“Cai Cai, so what did you want to tell me?” the class leader asked.
“Um… it’s… actually…” Gong CaiCai hesitated for a while like she was drumming up courage.
“Class class class class class class class class class class leader.”
Gong CaiCai suddenly raised her voice and began stuttering which caused the class leader to freeze a bit, “What is it?”
“Actu- actu- actu- actu- actu- actu- actually… I shouldn’t speak badly about Winnie and Ye Lin classmate since they carried me up the mountain…”
Gong CaiCai lowered her head as if she had become an evil person who should be put to death.
“But… I can’t hold it in anymore when I see them banding together to trick you.”
“Trick me about what?” The class leader had a calm expression like she already knew what Gong CaiCai was about to say.
Gong CaiCai suddenly trembled violently. If I exaggerated a bit, she was like a bad-quality washing machine. Obama stared at her vigilantly like she was about to explode.
“No, I… I still don’t have the courage.” Gong CaiCai apologized, “I can’t say it. Ye Lin, he… he and… Winnie won’t let me.”
Class leader’s eyes showed a moment of loneliness. After biting her lips, she tilted her head to look into the distance and said indifferently:
“Winnie and Ye Lin’s matter, has nothing to do with me…”
