Chapter 408 – Shodaime

Red Rose’s knee took a hit from the class leader’s flying rock and she knelt down in pain. Yellow Rose once again hurtled towards me from behind with her jiggly mountain of fat.

All I had to do was step to the side and evade it and give her a light push on her back, then she immediately went tumbling into her leader.

To sum up the fight: I was at the front acting as a meat shield while the class leader supported from behind. But Yellow Rose was the one who ended the fight, she was practically a bowling ball specialized in knocking down her allies.

Red Rose stood up, but because of the rain, she slipped right and fell after she stood up straight.

“Leader, you rest first.” Yellow Rose had taken multiple hits, but she still didn’t seem to be injured or tired, “He’s not hard to deal with, as long as I can hit him once….”

Red Rose waved her hand: “Forget it, you’ll probably kill us before you’re even able to land a hit on him. I’m probably really unlucky today because I didn’t check the weather forecast before I left.”

Black Rose got up with assistance from the wall. Even though she was still a bit dizzy, she agreed with the leader: “You’re right.”

Red Rose said: “A rainy day is bad luck for the Rose group. If I knew it was going to rain today, we would have came looking for the man stealing Shu Sha some other day.”

“Hey, what are you saying?” I shouted, “Our class leader never stole your boyfriend. I won’t be polite anymore if you keep making those false remarks.”

“It’s alright.” The class leader blocked me with her arm, “They already learned their lesson.”

Yellow Rose squinted and had sad eyes when she heard the leader wanted to retreat.

“Leader, we can’t admit defeat, especially not to a man! I consider you as a role model!”

“What role model? If the Rose Group’s actual leader and role model, sister Qin, was here, she would be able to easily defeat the Ye man….”

Black Rose seemed sad when sister Qin was brought up, “Sister Qin was invincible among all the other schools, if only she stayed…”

The three of them sighed and it sounded even more miserable in the rain.

Why are you guys pretending to be a tragic heroine. Just because you can’t beat us, there’s no reason to bring up ‘Sister Qin’ to try and scare us. If she’s actually as strong as you say, then let me see.

Red Rose controlled her emotions and said:

“Shu Sha and Ye… Ye Lin. It’s not over, we’ll come back on another day when it’s not raining.”

I mocked them: “It’s fine if you can’t beat us, don’t use the weather as an excuse.”

Black Rose shrieked: “What do you know? The Rose group never attacks on rainy days. It’s a rule established three years ago.”

Red Rose explained: “The reason we don’t fight on rainy days is in memory of sister Qin. It’s useless to say more, or what, are you guys not going to let us leave?”

The class leader moved to the side to show she was not going to stop them.

As the bodyguard, I could only stand next to the class leader and make way for the three of them.

The three of them left with their heads hung down while occasionally muttering curses. They never noticed Xiao Qin hiding around the corner as they walked passed her.

I reminded the class leader: “If you just let them go, they will come back again.”

The class leader tidied up her messy hair that was blown by the wind, “We won’t be in a disadvantage as long as we don’t meet them in a tight space. Let’s hurry and check on Xiao Qin first…”

As the class leader and I returned to the corner to check on Xiao Qin, we found her squatting on the ground with bangs covering her eyes while muttering:

“I can’t believe they changed the name into something that bad…”

“What?” I couldn’t hear clearly.

Xiao Qin frantically played dumb as she saw us: “Oh, nothing, the weather is great today.”

What do you mean great weather, it’s raining. You didn’t get soaked because you were hiding against the wind. The shoulder and chest area of the class leader’s uniform were soaked and almost see through.

Of course, if Xiao Qin stood in the rain, only her shoulders would be wet…

“Are you okay?” The class leader used one hand to block her chest and questioned Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin jumped up off the ground, “I’m fine. Let’s hurry and return back to class, it would be bad if the enemies came back.”

I was shocked by her recovery speed, then Xiao Qin said to me: “Since it’s a good day, Ye Lin classmate should buy me some ice cream.”

I couldn’t hold it in, “Don’t you have menstrual pain, how can you still eat ice cream?”

It was like Xiao Qin just remembered and she paused, then stuck out her tongue and tried to act cute:

“Oops, I forgot, meow~ Let’s head back to class first.”

Now, I knew she was definitely faking her pain. It looks like she would do anything to hide her true skills from the class leader.

When we returned to class, Gong CaiCai had escaped from the clothes with help from the volleyball girl. And the two of them also finished cleaning up the classroom.

The class leader expressed her gratitude after we summarized the events for her. The volleyball girl then laughed and said: “If you really want to thank me, then you should join the volleyball team. Since I wasn’t able to persuade Xiong YaoYue, you would also be a good choice.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t accept.” The class leader refused apologetically, “In terms of time…”

“Don’t worry, don’t panic.” the volleyball girl laughed, “I know you have to cook for your brother everyday and you also have a lot of matters to deal with for your class. If I worked you too hard then someone would begin to worry. I’ll see you later.”

For some reason the volleyball girl winked at me before she left.

The sound of the rain drops against the windows resounded in the empty classroom.

The class leader checked her bag then asked Gong CaiCai and Xiao Qin:

“Did you two bring an umbrella?”

Gong CaiCai said faintly: “My mom reminded me, but I forgot…”

Xiao Qin turned to me: “Ye Lin classmate, did you bring one?”

“No.” I felt a bit of regret for not checking the weather report.

“I thought I would be able to share an umbrella with Ye Lin classmate…” Xiao Qin muttered, “Forgetting to bring an umbrella on purpose backfired…”

“That’s bad.” The class leader was worried, “I only brought a rain jacket and one umbrella, but it’s not enough to split between four people.”

“Let’s search through the desks of our classmates.” Xiao Qin suggested, “Maybe someone left an umbrella in their desk.”

“That won’t work.” The class leader denied it, “We don’t have the right to search our classmate’s desk.”

“Class, class leader…”, Gong CaiCai raised her hand like she was in the middle of a class, “If I give my aunt a call, then she will pick up us at school and can give you guys a ride…”

Gong CaiCai’s family may be wealthy, but her parents wanted to raise her as an ordinary citizen. It was her aunt who pampered her a bit more.

“Cai Cai.” The class leader asked seriously, “If you trouble your aunt, wouldn’t your parents scold you if they found out?”

“It’s no problem…” Gong CaiCai stammered, “As long as we won’t get soaked, it’s fine if I get scolded a bit.”

“How about this.” The class leader said after thinking for a while, “Xiao Qin and you have weaker bodies and Xiao Qin is on her period. So, I’ll give you the umbrella and give the rain coat to Xiao Qin.”

“Then… what about you?” Gong CaiCai asked.

“I’m fine. I get home pretty quick on my bike. Since I’m already wet from earlier, it’s fine if I get a bit more wet. As for Ye Lin…”

I thought the class leader had special arrangments for me and felt a bit moved, but she said:

“Ye Lin can run home.”

This is sexism! Although I don’t have any intention on fighting with girls for the rainwear, you can’t just tell me to run home!

But at this time Xiao Qin said: “Class leader, you can take the raincoat. I’m not on my period, I think I just had some slight belly aches.”

“Even if that’s the case, your body is weaker, so….”

“Why are you so anoying!” Xiao Qin suddenly burst out in anger and screamed, shocking both the class leader and Gong CaiCai.

“Why… why do you have to care about me…” Xiao Qin clenched her hands to fists and repeated in a quiet voice with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“What’s wrong? So you are on your period. My mood also turns sour when I’m on my period…”

Xiao Qin pushed away the class leader with tears in her eyes, “I don’t need your raincoat or your umbrella. You guys leave first and let me cool down by myself.”

“What’s going on?” The class leader sent me a look to request assistance.

“Class leader, Gong CaiCai, you guys can leave first. I grew up with Xiao Qin and sometimes she throws tantrums but calms down after a while. I’ll make sure to lock the doors.”

Xiao Qin held the doors open for them and they could only leave.

The two of us were the only ones left in the classroom. I had a bad premonition as I looked at Xiao Qin’s back.

Xiao Qin put on a serious face after she carefully closed the classroom. She didn’t say anything to me and pulled out her phone from her bag.

After calling three numbers that didn’t connect, the fourth number finally went through. Xiao Qin talked with them a bit before writing down a phone number and calling it.

Xiao Qin still had traces of tears on her face as she paced back and forth in the classroom waiting for the other side to pick up. She gave off a strange yet familiar feeling.

She was no longer the foolish Xiao Qin, but she felt like the Little Tyrant.

I sat on my desk staring at Xiao Qin blankly.

After a while, the call finally connected.

“Who is it?” A woman answered in a bad mood, “Hang up if you’re trying to sell insurance.”

Xiao Qin hesitated before she asked quietly, “What was wrong with the name Overlord Flower, why did you change it?”

“Sister Qin, is that you? You finally contacted us.”

I almost fell off from my desk.

If I listened closely, that women is clearly the leader of the rose group, Red Rose!

So the invincible Sister Qin was Xiao Qin!

How did I forget about the face Xiao Qin also went to an all girls school. I overheard a conversation between you and Auntie Ren where the last time you attended a prep class for all girls school, but you came home crying after only a few months. Then you never went back to school and stayed at home for three years… what happened in that period of time?

Did you already become the boss of the school in only a few months?

No wonder you didn’t want to meet with the three of them, it’s because you were their old boss. Based on Naruto’s naming sense, you would be the shodai leader while Red Rose is the nidaime leader. So, the group was called Overlord Flower? That sounds like something you would like.

Red Rose sobbed and said a bunch of trivial things to Xiao Qin like “I miss you”, “Why did you leave”, or “Where are you now?”

As for the last question, Xiao Qin responded: “I’m currently studying at 28 Middle.”

“Ah.” Red Rose was surprised, “We were just there, if we knew you were also there…”

“I was there, I even saw you guys.” Xiao Qin said coldly, “But you guys didn’t see me. But even if you did see me, you might not even recognize me…”

“Impossible.” Red Rose shouted, “I’ll recognize sister Qin no matter how you look!”

Xiao Qin sighed: “I’m not your sister Qin anymore. I’m just a normal girl at a normal school with normal classmates… don’t cause trouble for Shu Sha anymore.”

“Eh. Is Shu Sha…. one of your new friends?”

“We’re not really friends, it might be more accurate to say we’re enemies.” Xiao Qin laughed at herself, “But I can guarantee she would never steal your boyfriend. Even if she was going to steal someone’s boyfriend, it would be mines….”

“What?” Red Rose was angered, “She has the guts to steal your boyfriend? I’ll kill her.”

“No, don’t touch her.” Xiao Qin’s voice wasn’t loud, but you could feel an imposing aura, “It’s my battle and violence is useless. The main problem is she considers me as a friend even though I’ve harmed her numerous times.”

The weather is unpredictable. We were just worried about the rain, but it suddenly cleared up outside. A beam of rainbow sunlight shot into the classroom. The bitter smile that was on Xiao Qin’s face was even more pronounced under the sunlight.

I thought Xiao Qin’s current smile was beautiful like she was in a painting.
