Chapter 392 – Emperor’s Robe

nThe mole guy was still reluctant to admit his mistakes, but since Shu Sha had a voice recording, he eventually still admitted defeat.
n“Don’t… let my classmates hear the voice recording, I won’t try to take a profit on the uniforms…”
n“I’ll still be keeping an eye on you.” Shu Sha coldly ended their conversation.
nAfter the matter with the senior student was completed, Shu Sha began discussing about our uniform with the vice-director.
nThe vice-director of the factory still had some lingering fears due to the fact we almost began a fight earlier, so he desperately advertised his product to shift our attention.
n“Class 2-3, I’ve already prepared the samples last night. Look, the male version is loose and relaxed while the female version is a slim fit around the waist. It uses the most modern printing process, guaranteed the colors will last and won’t…”
n“Uncle.” I said impatiently, “You can just let us try it on.”
n“That’s true.” the vice-director smiled and brought us to the employee change rooms since they didn’t have dedicated rooms for clients.
nI took of my shirt and looked at the pattern on the tshirt for a bit. It was the number 3 with a crown, then I put it on over my head.
nThe quality was better than I imagined for only ¥35 a piece. I also smelled the design and it didn’t have any strange smells.
nThe male change room was right across from the female change room. I had to wait 8 minutes after exiting the change room until Shu Sha came out from the female change room.
nHow slow. The guys and girls pretty much have the same school uniform for the summer. I only took two minutes to change, why did it take her ten minutes?
nBut after I saw the slim fit Tshirt and the curves on her upper body, it would still be worth it even if I had to wait another ten minutes.
nGood job Tshirt! Shu Sha usually intentionally hides her breasts, but now they’re off the charts!
nDid she take so long because she was embarrassed about being wrapped so tightly?
n“It looks good, right?” the vice-director stuck up his thumb in praise.
nShu Sha frowned while inspecting the cuffs and said:
n“I don’t think I’ve specified that the girl’s shirt have to be a slim fit? It would be nice if it was loose like the boys….”
nI’m against it! If the girl’s shirts were also loose, where would I go to find this stunning scenery? It would also raise the morale of our class when you wear the shirt!
n“But girls these days all want to look good. I thought you guys would be happy with slim fits…” the vice-director said anxiously, “Would I have to change them…”
nThe clothing plant who rents the building in our school has always had bleak business and was barely holding on. They had to make 28 Middle’s summer and winter uniforms for free because they owe the school rent (but of course the school still charged the students for the uniforms). Although the materials might be plain compared to Qing Zi Academy uniforms, ours are exceptionally sturdy. I once got hit three times with a brick while wearing the winter uniform and it still didn’t rip.
nThis business is one of the few remaining businesses who actually have a good conscience. Other than the female workers looking appalling, there are no other areas to criticize. They also used to let the cat society use a corner of their storeroom, so it shows both the factory director and vice-director are loving people.
nAlthough she was critical about the fact the uniform tightens around her breast, she didn’t want them to bear the cost of redoing the shirt, so she nodded:
n
n
n“It’s fine, I’ve tried it a bit in the change room and it doesn’t inhibit my movements. If I could comfortably move my body, then our classmates should…”
nShe stopped halfway through her sentence with a slightly blushed face.
nShe was basically admitting herself that among the girls in class 2-3, not only is she number one in height, she also places in the top ranks for breast size.
n“It’s good we don’t have to change it.” the vice-director breathed a sigh in relief, “My wife wouldn’t forgive me if she found out I wasted materials.”
n“When can you finish the 45 uniforms for our class?” Shu Sha asked.
n“If we work through the night, we can deliver them the day after tomorrow.”
n“Okay, then I’ll pay you then.”
nI suddenly had a question, “Class leader, are we ordering 45 uniforms? Are you ordering one for Zhuang Ni even if she never comes to class?”
n“She’s still one of us.” Shu Sha sighed, “I’ll ask Geng YuHong to deliver the uniform for me.”
nGeng YuHong is Loud Mouth. Shu Sha never calls people by their nicknames, unless it’s someone like Xiong YaoYue who clearly expresses they hate it when people call her by her real name.
n“Did you help pay for Zhuang Ni’s uniform?”
nShu Sha didn’t answer, but her expression confirmed it.
n“I don’t think you have a good relationship with Zhuang Ni, right?” I said, “I remember the time when she wanted to draw portrait of you in first year. She drew everything perfectly but left your eyes completely blank, I think you even had nightmares because of it.”
nShu Sha’s face turned as white as the T-shirt as she recollected the strange picture.
n“Zhuang Ni… is a little strange, but I have nothing against her personally.” Shu Sha pulled herself together and said, “I’m buying her a shirt so she can quickly become a part of the group again, besides you can’t buy a lot with ¥35…”
nLiar, the last time we were at the supermarket, you hesitated whether you should buy the discoutned containers and they were only ¥25 each!
nAnd Zhuang Ni isn’t a little strange, she’s super strange. Which normal person would slit their wrists in art class with an utility knife, then proceed to paint a maple tree with their own blood? Teacher Yu has vasovagal syncope and was the first to faint when he saw blood.
n“You guys can also take a look at the design on the back of the shirt.” The vice-director reminded us.
nThere’s actually no design on the back, but only words, it wrote: “We were together that year”. I turned around to let Shu Sha take a look and she said the words were still pretty clear. But when she turned around, I could only see a waterfall of long black hair.
n“Class leader, your hair is blocking the words.”
n“How about now?” Shu Sha tilted her head to the left and her hair flowed towards a different direction.
n“I could only see the words ‘that year’.”
n“How about now?” Shu Sha tilted her head even more.
n“Still can’t see ‘We were’.”
n“Forget it.” the class leader returned to her normal posture, “I’ll just pretend those words don’t exist for me.”
nThe vice-director brought us two bags, “If it’s a good fit, you can take these shirts first and show them to your classmates.”
nThe class leader took the bags, passed me one, and headed back into the female change room.
n“We don’t need to change.” I suggested, “We can go back and show how it looks on us.”
n“You can wear it back yourself.” The class leader’s voice came from inside the change room, “I’m used to washing new clothes before wearing them. And it feels a bit weird if we’re the only two wearing the class uniform…”
nHow is it weird? Is it because it would seem like a matching couples outfit? When did you start caring about what others think?
nAfter we returned to class, the class leader too the shirt out of the bag and laid it on the table for everyone to see.
n
n
n“Hey, it’s a slim fit. The class leader is pretty fashionable, I thought she would get those rectangular straight cuts.”
n“Class leader, have you worn it, how does it feel on the skin?”
nShu Sha patiently responded to everyone’s questions.
n“Good thing it’s a slim fit.” Little Smart commented, “Our class uniform only has a T-shirt and no bottom, so if we were wearing skirts, it would look awful with those rectangular shirts.”
nAs for me who wore the shirt back for display, none of the boys crowded around but remained in their seats and whispered to each other.
n“It doesn’t seem bad, it looks better than what you could buy at night markets.”
n“It shows off your figure quite well. That vice-director who’s afraid of his wife has some good skills!”
n“It shows off the figure because Ye Lin has muscles. You wouldn’t look good wearing anything with that gut of yours.”
nXiao Qin looked at me from the side.
n“Ye Lin classmate looks good wearing clothes too.”
nIt sounds as if you’ve seen me without clothes…
nWait, I think she has seen me nude before. Once when she lied about brother Optimus Prime being stolen by triads, and she kept teasing me as I had a towel wrapped around me. I got worked up and dropped the towel and revealed everything to Xiao Qin.
nIt seems dirty when I think back on it, no wonder she ran away screaming.
n“There’s no use trying to kiss up to me. I’m already disfigured because of your fists, so I wouldn’t look good no matter what I wear.”
n“Ye Lin classmate will always be the most handsome in my eyes.” Xiao Qin clenched her two fists and said, “If other girls can’t discover Ye Lin classmate’s inner beauty, then they have no right to fight for you.”
n“Ha, then tell me what inner beauty do I have?”
n“…. your muscles are beautiful.”
n“Are muscles considered inner beauty? Other girls can also find my muscles beautiful if I take off my clothes.”
n“Ahhhhhhhh, Ye Lin classmate is going to undress in front of other girls. I’m the only one who can admire what’s on the inside.”
nSo whatever is on the inside is considered inner beauty for you? If that’s the case, I also really admire the class leader’s inner beauty.
nEunuch Cao walked towards me without me noticing.
nHe walked towards me as if he was a minister meeting the emperor, then he knelt down in front of me without any warning.
n“Long live master, may he conquer the world!” Eunuch Cao cheered, “The emperor’s robe is really fitting on you, master.”
nAll the classmates, including me, all looked at him with disdain. Only Xiao Qin had a look of approval.
n“It’s only a class uniform, how is it anything similar to an emperor’s robe?”
n“You can’t say it like that. The first one to wear the class uniform is the king of class 2-3!”
n“What kind of king? The type who’s king when the tiger isn’t home?”
n“Master, don’t undervalue yourself. Although we do have tigers in our class, it doesn’t mean you can’t outdo them! Look, the picture on the front is a 3 with a crown which means the first one to wear this is the king of class 2-3!”
nAlthough he was spewing nonsense, it was still enjoyable.
n“Ummm… actually my dad wanted to ask master for help…”
nSo, you had a request? Is Director Cao willing to let his son beg me simply to achieve his goals? But since they have no morals, they can’t be asking me for anything decent.
nThe bell to get prepared for the next class rang. I told Eunuch Cao to head back to his seat and we can talk about his dad’s request later.
nBefore we left school, Xiao Qin mentioned she wanted to borrow my phone for the night to play games. In return, she would leave her phone with me.
n“Why are you so addicted to games?” I mocked, “Didn’t you say you want to focus on being a girl? Have you seen a shojou protagonist that’s addicted to games?”
nXiao Qin pouted, “It’s because I have a file that’s I’ve only played halfway through. I have OCD, so I don’t feel good if I don’t complete the game…”
n“You don’t have OCD, the class leader does.”
n“Stop~ it. In order to make Ye Lin classmate, I’m trying to give myself an OCD personality trait. Why did you have to expose me so soon?”
n“Do you think you’re playing a game where you can give your own character any trait you want?”
n“Anyway, I hope you could lend me your phone. It’s best if you can give me a call at night to remind me to not play too long…”
nIt was a normal conversation but Xiao Qin was embarrassed and twiddled her thumbs together.
n“It’s best if you can call me at 8:20 at night. Please don’t get mad if might be busy and don’t pick up right away…”
nWho are trying to trick by telling me to call at a specific time but saying you might be busy? Your expression has already sold you out!
nSince Xiong YaoYue got vibrated by my phone today, you probably felt jealous because even if it’s my cellphone, you don’t want anyone else having intimate contact with it.
nSo if I lend you my phone, you’ll definitely put it somewhere bad at 8:20 and wait for you to call me.
nI would be screwed if Auntie Ren hears strange sounds from your room and finds my phone.
