Chapter 814: Respective Escort Duties

Wont the cla.s.s leader be unhappy if you dont have a single Chinese word on it?

I questioned.

If the cla.s.s leader isnt satisfied, then she can supervise me tomorrow as I redraw it. It seems Zhuang Ni already had a contingency plan, Also, this is the fruits of our labor between me and Cai Cai, you have no right to criticize it.

Hey, why cant you say its the results of your hard work? Why do you have to use the word fruit? Both you and Gong CaiCai are girls, so you wont produce any fruits no matter how hard you work.

Gong CaiCais sprained ankle from the morning was still hurting. She had to support herself on the wall or use something to take the stress off her ankle every time she stood up.

Please dont please dont fight. Gong CaiCai said, Zhuang Ni cla.s.smate is good, Ye Lin cla.s.smate is also good. Both of you have protected me before and I know the two of you are good people. Can you please stop fighting because of some misunderstandings that happened in the past

Her pitiful appearance made it seem like we would be bullying her if we didnt agree to her request.

But Zhuang Ni had no intention of reconciling with me. When Gong CaiCai wasnt paying attention, she slid her index finger across her neck and made a threatening throat cutting gesture.

Zhuang Nis actions wasnt able to escape from Xiao Qins eyes. Xiao Qin looked unhappy and pressed her right fist against her cheek as if she was saying to Zhuang Ni that she would beat her up if she touched me.

After Xiong YaoYue ate a lot of dried fish snacks and drank a lot of water, she made a unladylike burp.

Burp~ by the way, what do those English words mean?

Huh, doesnt it just mean new semester, there is still hope? Xiao Qin asked, Winnie, didnt you hear them earlier?

Um, I wasnt paying attention. Xiong YaoYue flattened a lock of hair behind her head that was sticking out and continued to say, Xiao Qin, you probably heard what I was talking about with the cla.s.s leader. Whenever Zhuang Ni is present, call me Yue Yue instead of Winnie. I dont want to get mixed up with Zhuang Ni.

But dont you really like the nickname Winnie? Xiao Qin furrowed her brows, Its a shame to not use a nickname you really like simply because of Zhuang Nis existence.

Theres no other way. Xiong YaoYue shrugged, Once we graduate, I wont be at the same place as Zhuang Ni anymore, so I would be able to use Winnie whenever I want.

Theres no need to wait that long. Xiao Qin said in an encouraging tone, I could help you so that you nickname wouldnt get mixed up with Zhuang Nis name.

She said as she glanced at me as if she was reminding me she was doing a good deed by helping her friend.

How will you help me? Xiong YaoYue was curious.

Its simple. Xiao Qin wagged her finger in front of her, The problem will be solved as long as Zhuang Ni picks a nickname for herself that doesnt end in the Ni sound.

I wont waste any time by giving myself a nickname. Zhuang Ni pointed out coldly.

No problem, I could help you! Xiao Qin said enthusiastically, Im great at giving other people nicknames. I dont have any inspirations right now, but I could let you use some names with good meanings behind them.

I asked, What kind of names with good meanings behind them?

Dont Chinese people love names with happiness, wealth, and longevity? Xiao Qin racked her brains, then said: Why dont we call you w.a.n.g Cai.

Zhuang Nis face instantly darkened. In order for her friend to use her Winnie nickname, Xiao Qin wanted Zhuang Ni to stop using her full name. She even gave Zhuang Ni a nickname that Chinese farmers often gave to dogs.

Its fine that you gave me a nickname of Ye Lu, its fine you gave Gong CaiCai the nickname of Gong Cai Cow, its fine you gave He Ling the nickname Little Strawberry, and its fine you gave Kyle the nickname of hemorrhoid warrior (good job). At least those nicknames have some similarity with the person you gave it to!

In comparison, what does w.a.n.g Cai have to do with Zhuang Ni? Zhuang Ni had a gothic vampire style, what does w.a.n.g Cai, a name for dogs, have to do with her? Xiao Qin, are you trying to make her mad on purpose?

After making an outrageous statement, it looked like Xiao Qin still had no self-awareness and applauded herself by saying:

Now, Winnie can continue to use her favorite nickname and Zhuang Ni will have a new start in the new semester, so everyones happy, congratulations!

Zhuang Ni raised her brows and clenched her teeth. It seems like she was really angry, but she used her strong self-control to suppress her anger. She narrowed her eyes as if she was thinking about what Xiao Qin said and planning a counter-attack.

When we were at Cui Song mountain, Xiao Qin once crushed a pine-cone with her bare hands in front of Zhuang Ni, so she knew Xiao Qin had unparalleled strength. It wasnt smart to go against Xiao Qin face to face, so it was better to hold it in then wait for the perfect opportunity to get vengeance.

Seeing Zhuang Nis indignant expression, Gong CaiCai timidly said: Everyone can we get along? If Zhuang Ni doesnt like being called with a nickname, then lets not force her

Its temporary. Xiao Qin added, If you dont like w.a.n.g Cai, we can also call you Sang Biao.

Xiao Qin, forget it. Xiong YaoYue noticed Zhuang Nis bad complexion and told Xiao Qin to stop.

Zhuang Ni is her actual name. We would be bullying her if we didnt let her use her real name so I could use my nickname Xiao Qin, just call me Yue Yue or Winnie. It doesnt matter if you get it mixed up a bit.

Alright then. Xiao Qin sighed, It was hard to do a good deed and get a star

What? Xiong YaoYue didnt understand.

Xiao Qin, keep dreaming. How is forcing Zhuang Ni to change her name to w.a.n.g Cai a good deed? Winnie wouldnt even be happy with your help. Ill have to scold you in private later. After all, its only considered discipline if theres a reward and a punishment.

After the nickname fiasco was averted, Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue began to evaluate Zhuang Nis chalkboard art.

What a shame. If it was me, I would have drawn a gigantic Cthulhu evil deity to make everyone understand whats so frightening about the third year.

Xiao Qin opened her arms wide as she said gigantic.

Thats a good idea. Xiong YaoYue clapped, Then in the middle we can write attack on start of school, we can even write start of school in red to express that its going to be a b.l.o.o.d.y new year.

Evil deity? Gong CaiCai said blankly, Whats that?

Its just an evil G.o.d. Zhuang Ni said with ridicule, Although I like the original Cthulhu, what Xiao Qin drew cant express its scariness at all, at most its her art skills thats scary.

Gong CaiCai s.h.i.+vered, Why are there evil G.o.ds, arent all G.o.ds supposed to be kind?

Zhuang Ni was filled with a burst of inexplicable joy, she faced Gong CaiCai and whispered, I really look forward to seeing when that innocence of yours will be broken, stay with me

After dilly-dallying, it was soon 7:00 pm, and everyone decided to lock the cla.s.sroom door and leave.

Before that, it seems Xiao Qin received a phone call from Auntie Ren.

Auntie Ren went straight to work today from the hotel. After she returned home, she realized Xiao Qins bag was at home but she wasnt, so she quickly gave her daughter a call.

After confirming that Xiao Qin was at school, Auntie Ren still wasnt relieved and had to come pick up Xiao Qin, no matter how Xiao Qin tried to decline.

The five of us had just left the school when we saw Auntie Rens b.u.mblebee drive over. Auntie Ren stopped the car and walked towards Xiao Qin with a very unpleasant look on her face. She took Xiao Qin by her hand and dragged her towards the car.

Mom, why are you so angry? Xiao Qin complained as she was being dragged, At least take Ye Lin cla.s.smate home along with us, okay?

Who cares about him. Auntie Ren grunted, Anyone with the surname of Ye isnt a good person. Where did you sleep last night, why didnt you take your bag to school today?

I forgot to take it Xiao Qin intended to get away with it by pouting, but Auntie Ren forced her into the car and was going to interrogate her on the way home.

The b.u.mblebee soon drove away and Xiao Qin could only wave goodbye to me and Winnie from inside the car reluctantly.

Huh, its the beginning of the school year, but 28 Middles third years already started their nightly study sessions?

A few pa.s.sing high school students said in astonishment. They seemed to be students from Dong Shan First High School and were all male and just came back from drinking.

Hey, looks like the girls of 28 Middle seem to be of pretty high quality on average. A slightly fat boy, who was being supported by his companion, said drunkenly.

Come on, its none of your business even if they are. Lets go, if we dont go, theyll think were hoodlums.

His companion was quite reasonable and dragged the drunken fat boy away and the group soon disappeared into the darkness.

After Xiao Qin was caught by Auntie Ren, only four of us were left. Gong CaiCais father had just called and told her to wait for him at the school gate, he was stuck in a traffic jam and would soon arrive.

Zhuang Ni suggested she would wait with Gong CaiCai, then head home herself once Gong CaiCais car arrives.

The reason why she refused to ride with Gong CaiCai was simple: Gong CaiCais father is a man.

Zhuang Nis home wasnt particularly close to the school, but she insisted on walking home when there were bus and subway options available. She insisted on walking home simply because she wanted to avoid sharing a ride with a man.

Zhuang Ni wouldnt even use a cab, because cab drivers were mostly men.

Zhuang Ni cla.s.smate, if you really dont want to get into my dads car, then please go home first.

Gong CaiCai softly pleaded under the street light in front of the school.

Its getting darker, so if you insist on walking home, its better to leave early. Otherwise, what if you run into bad guys.

Although those drunken high school students from earlier didnt make a move on the girls, it still made Gong CaiCai unsettled.

Xiong YaoYue, who had been silent for a while since Xiao Qin was taken away by Auntie Ren, suddenly said:

Ye Lin, you stay with Gong CaiCai to wait for her ride. Ill walk home and Ill take Zhuang Ni with me.

Zhuang Ni immediately refused, I dont need you to come with me.

I want to follow you. Xiong YaoYue said, Otherwise, what if youre unlucky and get raped by bad people, then Ill also have to suffer with you.

Zhuang Nis face darkened: I have the ability to protect myself, also why would I affect you?

Of course you would. Xiong YaoYue grumpily crossed her arms and said, If people arent able to distinguish between Zhuang Ni and Winnie, then it would be humiliating if people spread a rumor that I was the one who was raped.
