“Ah, I think sis Ying Ran taught me that posture before…” Xiao Qin stood still while muttering to herself, “She even said only those who have knee injuries have actually loved…”
“How sly, I’m the one who loves Ye Lin classmate the most.”
Xiao Qin suddenly began to sprint before she finished her sentence, then she bent her knees and directly kneeled on the road without reducing her speed.
It was basically like footballers who would slide on the grass as celebration after they score a goal.
But grass is grass, this is a mother fucking asphalt road! Xiao Qin was wearing a dress today, so her legs was bare. Her legs were about to have intimate contact with the road.
Xiao Qin’s knees were covered with fresh blood before I could even react. The blood stained the edge of her skirt, but she had a splendid smile.
“Hehe~~~ now I expressed my greater love for Ye Lin classmate. The people who are harboring bad thoughts will definitely fail.”
My first reaction was extreme anger.
I clutched Xiao Qin’s collar to raise her off the ground, then I yelled at her:
“Are you retarded? Why can’t you walk on the ground properly? Do you think you have an iron body or something?”
At this point in time, the pain was slowly creeping up on Xiao Qin, and she said with a bitter smile:
“This… is how I show love for Ye Lin classmate. I feel at ease now that I’m also injured…”
I said in a quiet voice only Xiao Qin would hear:
“Don’t think I would like you because you keep injuring yourself…”
I accidentally let the truth slip out in the heat of the moment. I practically admitted I was only leading her on and she would always be a secret girlfriend.
Xiao Qin didn’t seem to be surprised. She shifted her slightly dark gaze and said in a similarly quiet voice:
“Because I’ve also hurt Ye Lin classmate many times, you probably won’t feel at ease if I don’t experience the same amount of pain. I don’t care how you treat me in the future…”
“You… at least don’t hurt yourself.” I hissed, “If you keep hurting yourself, I’ll… remove you as my girlfriend.”
“Is it because you want to give that spot to the class leader?”
“You….”
I suddenly felt someone kicking my calf. I turned around to take a look, isn’t this the class leader? Why are you kicking me angrily, does your knees not hurt anymore?
“Why are you being so mean to Xiao Qin.” The class leader took Xiao Qin in her arms and angrily rebuked me, “Xiao Qin tripped by accident, you don’t have to comfort her, but why are you yelling at her. So, do you still have a grudge against her?”
Huh, how did you know I have a grudge against her? I’ve never even told my dad I was bullied by Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin was snatched over by the class leader, she had no idea how to react when suddenly embraced with motherly love.
The class leader gently patted Xiao Qin, then continued to scold me:
“It’s because your little brother got lost when playing hide-and-seek with Xiao Qin when you were young… even if Xiao Qin was at fault, you can’t hate her for life.”
Oh, I thought you were going to say something else. You still haven’t forgotten the lie Xiao Qin told you? Even I almost forgot about it.
“I don’t have a little brother.” I said, “Xiao Qin was lying, didn’t I already explain it to you?”
The class leader ignored me. She bent down to check on Xiao Qin’s injuries while ignoring her own.
“How pitiful, there’s so much blood…”
I took a glance and my chest did throb a bit.
It was indeed more serious than the class leader’s injury. After all, asphalt is not the same as synthetic track. Those two streaks of red were horrible to look at.
But she has many years of fundamentals in martial arts, so even if she wanted to injure herself, she would have subconsciously lessened the impact. So instead of badly mangles knees, she only had some serious scrapes.
The class leader carefully blew away the dirt on Xiao Qin’s injury, then she took out some napkins to soak up some of the blood. When Xiao Qin made a pained expression, the class leader stopped and asked: “Did I hurt you?”
“It’s okay… it’s okay…” Xiao Qin could only respond with those words.
“I have a medical kit at home, it’s 5 minutes away. Shall we go there to take care of the rest?” The class leader inquired.
Xiao Qin nodded.
The class leader turned to me and gave me an order.
“It’s time for you to carry Xiao Qin.”
“Hah?” I widened my eyes.
“What’s wrong?” The class leader cast glances at me, “Aren’t you strong? Now that Xiao Qin is hurt. You should at least be able to carry her to my house.”
I stammered, “But there’s a lot of people on the streets.”
The class leader became even more upset, “Today at school… there was also a lot of people.”
I could only carry Xiao Qin after being intimidated by the class leader. Xiao Qin was naturally overjoyed.
But… it’s a bit heavy. I’m not comparing Xiao Qin’s weight and the class leader’s weight, but I’m currently hungry and Xiao Qin and I are both carrying backpacks.
I wanted to change a posture because Xiao Qin’s bag was in an uncomfortable position. Then the class leader took off her backpack and hung it around my neck without even asking.
Damn, that hurts. I can’t catch my breath, how heavy is your backpack? How many Chinese-English dictionaries are you carrying inside of here? I clearly offered to help hold your bag before we left school and you refused, but are you regretting it now?
What are girls even thinking about? Why are they sometimes gentle, but sometimes worse than a demon? I’m carrying a person and three bags, do you want to kill me?
This time, two men who looked like otakus were walking in our direction. One of them saw us then paused and pushed up his glasses.
“Damn, what’s going on? Both of the girls have injured knees, did he do this by himself?”
“Shhhh.” His companion lowered his voice, “Quiet down, also it’s not easy getting two at once, look how tired he is.”
Damn right I’m tired. But I never did anything, I only got mad at my childhood friend and somehow ended up in this predicament.
Many other people of all ages pointed at laughed at me when they saw me. Why are they not afraid of me? Do you not see my appearance? Is it because I don’t qualify as a human anymore as a human tool?
I felt like I was a pack mule instead of a person.
