I had a guilty conscience because my dad did ‘that’ to Auntie Ren, so I let Xiao Qin play with my phone. She happily started to play Angry Granny from her last save.

To be fair, my dad really didn’t do anything. Auntie Ren was the one who attacked, so why should I feel guilty?

“Huh, why is there a crack on the top right corner?”

Xiao Qin asked.

I took a closer look and there was indeed a slight crack on the top right corner of the screen. It doesn’t really affect usage other than a bit of light leakage.

It was probably broken during the fight with Xu TianMing. Even though Xu JinSheng would compensate me, it would make me seem annoying when I make a fuss over minor matters. Besides, he already gave me a lot of coupons and vouchers.

After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to forgo asking for compensation. I didn’t really care a lot about aesthetics anyway.

Soon, the flag-raising ceremony ended, and the class leader and PE committee member led everyone back to class. The class leader looked furious when she saw me sitting next to Xiao Qin and teaching her how to get more points.

“Ye Lin.” She walked straight towards me, “Why didn’t you come to the flag-raising ceremony?”

Our class probably lost points again, but I didn’t skip on purpose…

The class leader would never believe me if I said I was late because I was practicing with a master in martial arts.

Thus I lied: “I went to the recreation center near Daning River… to practice basketball. It’s easier getting a spot in the mornings.”

Niu ShiLi was chatting with You Chen in the row in front of me, but he instantly retorted my remark.

“You Chen, Xu LiJun, and I all went to the recreation center this morning, but how come we didn’t see you?”

“That’s… that’s because I was moving to fast, so you couldn’t see me with your naked eyes. Haven’t you guys watched Dragon Ball before?”

My nonsensical explanation made the class leader look at me even more coldly.

“Ye Lin, the first class is Physics, so come with me to help the teacher move his tools.”

“Huh, isn’t Niu ShiLi the Physics class representative, why doesn’t he go?”

“He sprained his ankle this morning while playing basketball, but he still went to the ceremony this morning. Don’t you feel ashamed as the PE committee member?”

Then, the class leader saw Xiao Qin who was engrossed in the mobile game.

“Xiao Qin, class is about to start. Put away your phone, wait… that’s not your phone?”

“That’s right.” Xiao Qin admitted happily, “It’s Ye Lin classmate’s cellphone. He lent it to me because we have a good relationship.”

The class leader glanced around and noticed a crack on the top right corner.

“Why don’t you get it repaired when the screen is cracked this badly?”

Please, how is it even cracked? It’s a crack smaller than a fingernail, please stop bringing your OCD everywhere.

Anyway, Xiao Qin obediently returned my phone, and I also obediently followed the class leader to pickup equipment and tools from the Physics room.

Shit, why is this toy electric motor so damn heavy? Why is it even called a toy when it’s so heavy, is it a toy for Hulk’s son?

Usually, it would be fine if I carry some heavy things. But in the past couple of days, I’ve been hit by Xu TianMing, hit by He Ling, and hit by gramps. It hurts with every step I take.

As we got closer to the classroom, we bumped into Xiong YaoYue who came to help out. The class leader lowered her head suddenly in embarrassment as if she was afraid Xiong YaoYue would rebuke her. But then she furled her brows in confusion when she saw Xiong YaoYue intimately help me carry the things.

Xiong YaoYue was awesome, maybe it has to do with the fact she felt guilty for ditching Ai Mi and me on Sunday, but she helped me carry the heavy motor back after class ended.

The class leader was always beside us and seemed upset Xiong YaoYue was joking around with me.

After another class passed, I saw Xiong YaoYue sighing and leaning against the window sill during the break.

You rarely see Xiong YaoYue with such a sad expression. Did she get scolded by the class leader because she helped me?

I got closer to her and asked:

“What’s wrong? Is it because of the class leader?”

“Oh, it’s you.” Xiong YaoYue seemed unenergetic, “The class leader didn’t say anything, but she did ask me some strange questions. She said something about how you already had someone you liked, so I shouldn’t act so intimately. ~~~ But the class leader doesn’t know you’re gay and have no interest in me… I can’t believe she would get mad over that…”

Who’s gay? Who said I had no interest in you?

Xiong YaoYue held her cheeks and sighed again.

“Compared to the class leader, what happened yesterday was worse…”

I wanted to ask, but she said:

“I got my ass raped yesterday…”

What, don’t tell me that stuff even if you consider me as a good friend! Didn’t you say you had no experience, but the first thing you do is ass play? Are you discussing this with me because you want to share experiences?

I don’t really want to be someone who’s considered an expert in this field! Also, if he forced you in any way, you should hurry up and report him to the police.

After seeing my strange expression, Xiong YaoYue changed her previous statement:

“Oh, it’s more accurate to say that ‘we’ got our ass raped…”

You guys? Who else was there? Other girls from our class? Who’s the piece of ** who brought middle school girls to hotels so he could burst their chrysanthemums!
