Chapter 27 – The Prearranged Lunch

n

n

nI handed the “Colorful Classroom” over to Cao JingShen before the class bell rang. He received it delightfully and didn’t ask me anything else.

nWho cares if he reads it during class or not, better him getting caught than me.

n“You can bring me the one you want to return some other day.”

n“This disciple sincerely complies with master’s orders!” Cao JingShen responded mischievously.

nI’ve handed over the H manga, the photo was confiscated by Shu Sha, my heart was finally able to relax.

nAlthough I was puzzled by Shu Sha’s final actions, I’m just satisfied that she’s not annoying me anymore.

nThe 3 morning classes passed by very quickly and I remembered that I promised Xiao Qin I would eat lunch with her today.

nSince I made a commitment, I have to honor it. Even if I don’t, Xiao Qin wouldn’t let me off that easily.

n“Ye Lin classmate, today’s our lunch …”

nI was afraid she was going to say lunch date, so I hurriedly said: “I’ll eat lunch with you! But I’ll only go with you to the cafeteria and not anywhere else!”

n“I’m already satisfied with the cafeteria, hehe…”

nAt 12 o’clock sharp, the crowded cafeteria is torture to the average person.

nAs soon as I walked in, the crowd naturally split, it was like how Moses split the Red Sea in the animation “The Prince of Egypt”. Many students that were lined up took the initiative to let me cut in line.

nI can understand not wanting to stand next to me, and I’m also happy to have my own Red Sea passage.

nHowever, I personally don’t like people who cut in lines, I even once warned a girl that let me cut.

nIn the end, when I opened my mouth, before I even started speaking, that glasses wearing girl almost started to cry. She even incessantly apologized to me saying: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was wrong!”

nHow were you wrong? If you’re this cowardly, you’re going to encourage evil! I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to let me cut, just let me line up behind you!

nThere were even some short first-year students that tried to pacify on the side: “Big brother Ye Lin, this is our class’s committee member, she’s an honest student, please spare her!”

nWho the hell do I look like to you! I persevere with my daily training to one day beat ‘Little Tyrant’, not to bully helpless committee members!

nAfterward, I didn’t even feel like explaining to them anymore.

nXiao Qin followed me happily, she didn’t have to be crowded and didn’t need to line up.

n“Ye Lin classmate is awesome!” Xiao Qin said with a face full of envy.

nAwesome my ass! I really don’t like being treated like this by others! When I played dungeons & dragons with my dad, when I tested my alignment, it turns out I was lawful good!

nYou’re the one that people should be afraid of!

nThe cafeteria lady still had a stiff face.

nI don’t know why, even if the students and some of the teachers are afraid of me, the cafeteria ladies are unaffected.

nI heard from Cao JingShen that if someone offends someone from the cafeteria, they’ll blow their nose and throw earwax into the food.

nThat is to say, in order to retaliate against one person, they’ll sacrifice everyone.

nThinking of this possibility made me shiver.

nBecause no one dared to line up in front of me, we got our food very quickly.

nXiao Qin also moved very quickly.

nI sat down by a spot near the window. I knew that people sitting at the neighboring tables will have a lot of apprehensions so I might as well pick a spot with few neighboring tables.

n

n

nXiao Qin sat across from me.

n“Ye Lin classmate, are you not getting a coke today?” she asked with a different purpose.

n“What? Do you want to wash your hair?” I fired back.

n“No, no need! I’ll get all sticky, it’s very uncomfortable!” Xiao Qin put both her hand on her head and made a defensive gesture.

nAfter seeing that Xiao Qin and I started to eat, the people in the cafeteria got back into regular lines.

nIt was like sheep resuming to eat grass after the wolf left.

nIt was at this time that the class leader Shu Sha, Loud Mouth, and Little Smart entered the cafeteria.

nAt a place somewhat behind them, number one loyal dog glasses bro was there with 4 or 5 other guys.

nThey lined up at the back of the line, talking and laughing together. However, the class leader didn’t look very talkative today.

nIf they were the ones in front of us, they probably wouldn’t have let us cut.

nThe class leader definitely wouldn’t, number one loyal dog glasses bro also has a lot of backbone (I’ll talk more about him later, he’s actually very ferocious). Since Loud Mouth heard a lot of gossip about me from Xiao Qin, she’s already not as afraid of me. As for the freckle-faced Little Smart, although she’s skinny enough for people to think she’s anorexic (It just so happens that she matches with Loud Mouth, one fat one skinny), she’s probably daring enough to do anything that her best friend Loud Mouth would do.

nAs for the other loyal dogs, even though they might not try to go against me one on one, if someone leads them, they wouldn’t be too scared.

nYou should know that it’s a happy thing to find out that there are people not scared of you.

nThese people saw me eating lunch together with Xiao Qin.

nLoud Mouth smirked and started talking secretively with Little Smart.

nNumber one loyal dog glasses bro said something to the leader and it seemed like he was about to come this way, but he ended up being stopped by the class leader.

nWas he worried that I was going to pour coke over Xiao Qin again and wanted to stop me?

nBut I didn’t even buy coke today! Did you think that I’ll get even more aggressive today and pour YuXiang stir-fried meat over her? (TN: YuXiang literally means fish fragrance, but it’s just a seasoning that’s usually made up of garlic, scallions, ginger, sugar, salt, chili peppers etc, but no actual fish)

nWouldn’t that be too brutish of me!

nEven though Little Tyrant once put a live crab down my shirt, and allowed me to be ravaged by those two claws.

nI still have a chunk of flesh missing on my back.

nAh! I’m getting angry just thinking about it!

nHowever, even if she’s wearing a school uniform not much different than a male’s, shes now obviously a female.

nShe kept on peeking at me while eating, it was as if my uncivilized way of eating was worth watching.

nContrary to what I expected, Xiao Qin didn’t talk much. She quietly sat in front of me and finished her lunch.

nShe didn’t get much food and finished her battle one step ahead of me.

nAfterward, she propped her elbows on the table, leaned forward, supported her rosy face and watched me eat silently.

nShe watched to a point where she was obsessed.

nI don’t know why, but I was scared!

nHer expression was as if she wouldn’t get tired even after looking at me for a lifetime, it will give me nightmares!

nAlthough I have a big appetite, I eat pretty slowly because I like to chew carefully.

nIf I ate too quickly and got a stomach illness, then it’ll impact my body, and if my body’s impacted then my training won’t bring forth as big of an effect.

nThat’s why diet was always a part of exercising and martial arts.

nIf a boxer controlled their daily intake, jogged often, then one day they’ll become a nimble and ferocious cheetah.

nBecause sumo wrestlers ate Chankonabe every day, they can only end up being big fat pigs. (TN: I mean, that’s their goal)

nBut because Xiao Qin’s expression was too scary, I finished my food 3 times faster than usual and I almost choked.

nXiao Qin hurried over to buy a glass of coke and hastily handed it over to me.

nWhen I raised the glass of coke, number one loyal dog glasses bro, the class leader and their group watched my actions vigilantly.

n

n

nAre they worried that I’ll reenact what happened the day before yesterday? Do they think that I ordered Xiao Qin to buy the coke and then come back obediently to let me pour it over her head?

nI think that’s thinking of me in a too perverted way.

nBut judging based on the previous series of actions, if I insistently requested Xiao Qin to do this, she might really agree.

n“If Ye Lin classmate would like, even if I get sticky all over, I’ll endure it!”

nShe would definitely say something like that.

nAs I thought this, I raised the cup to drink half of the coke and washed down the food stuck in my throat.

nAfter seeing that I wasn’t planning to do anything with the coke, the class leader and others sighed in relief.

n“Is the coke good?” Xiao Qin asked while beaming.

n“I don’t really like coke that much, but it seems like Ye Lin classmate drinks it often.”

n“It’s okay, I wouldn’t say I really like it. Also, regardless if its Coke or Pepsi, they taste pretty much the same.”

nMy sense of taste isn’t very developed, even the short-lived FenHuang Coke didn’t taste much different compared to American coke.

nThey even spent 150 million to hire Jackie Chan for a commercial, but because they couldn’t follow up with online sales, they had to miserably leave the market.

nGetting off topic, but Ai Mi, an authentic American who can’t drink coke even if she wants to would probably happily chug the concentrated knock-off FenHuang coke.

nI suddenly had a wicked thought, if I poured coke all over Xiao Qin, Ai Mi might even come and lick up the coke on Xiao Qin’s body.

nThat’s not good! Because I had to deal with a lot of H manga’s recently, my thoughts are already becoming less pure.

nAfter lunch, I thought that Xiao Qin would ask me to accompany her to go for a walk on the school fields, but she held her stomach like it was hurting a lot.

n“What’s wrong? Do you get a stomachache from the food?”

nThe cafeteria’s ingredients are usually not that fresh, Xiao Qin’s body doesn’t have enough antibodies, she’ll get accustomed to eating it after a few months.

n“No, I don’t think so, I don’t know what’s going on… Ye Lin classmate, sorry, I’m going back to class first.”

nHer situation didn’t seem very serious so I waved my hand and let her leave.

nThere’s still half an hour until afternoon classes. I ran over near the basketball hoop in the back field and prepared to play some basketball.

nUnlike others, the school basketball team captain Guo SongTao is always willing to play with me.
