Chapter 410 – You’re The One

Xiao Qin was strangely gentle and quiet as if she was like an ordinary girl. I couldn’t help but be attracted to her and sat down next to her.

Xiao Qin’s wooden bed was really sturdy since it didn’t creak even when the two of us sat on it. It looks like Auntie Ren carefully picked one out to help her daughter rest.

“Let me tell a joke first.” Xiao Qin sat on the edge of the bed and rocked her legs back and forth, “According to my mom, Americans used to be extremely conservative. Male and female actors weren’t even allowed to sit on the same bed in a scene or it would be treated as porn…”

I’ve also heard something similar. According to my dad, early Americans were essentially puritans. They thought Europeans were too lascivious, so they said I don’t want to be neighbors with them anymore and sailed to the Americas. Before they almost starved to death, the Natives gave them turkey while in return they gave them smallpox infested blankets and it almost wiped out the Natives.

Xiao Qin shifted her ample behind and moved towards my legs. I felt it was a bit erotic with a boy and a girl sitting on a bed.

“I don’t need to hear the joke. Just tell me why you shut yourself at home for three years.”

“I stayed at home for three years to become more girlish so Ye Lin classmate would like me.”

“But why do you have to become more girlish, and why do you want me to like you?”

Xiao Qin was silent for a while.

“Do you really want to know?”

“Didn’t you say you would tell me if I took you home, or are you going back on your words?”

“I won’t go back on my words. My mom isn’t home, it’s only me and you. If I don’t satisfy Ye Lin classmate, then I would be violated.”

Stop using weird words and speak normally! Just say I won’t forgive you if you don’t keep your promise.

“I have a small request first…”

“There’s still more?”

“No, it’s not a big request. I just want Ye Lin classmate to hold my arms and to not laugh at me when I’m telling my story.”

I’m not sure if it was because of the lack of light in the room, but there was this ambiguous romantic atmosphere in the room. I didn’t reject Xiao Qin’s request and simply wrapped my thick arm around Xiao Qin’s slender shoulders from behind.

Three years of staying at home really degraded Xiao Qin’s muscles. I still remember the snowy day where we parted and she seemed to be even muscular than now.

Xiao Qin naturally leaned towards me as I held onto her shoulders.

“You can tell me now.” I ordered before I entered a trance.

Xiao Qin was hesitant to speak. A pale blue fluorescent light reflected off her lips.

“I thought I could live without Ye Lin classmate…”

“You already could.” I couldn’t hold back my rebuttal.

Xiao Qin smiled bitterly, “After my mom finished her divorce, her career gradually moved on the right track. Then, our living complex was demolished so we moved to this house…”

“I already knew that.”

“My mom thought I was only a bit naught, but she realized I still wasn’t like a girl at 12 years old. So, she discussed it with a friend and sent me to an all girls school.”

That’s true. Ai Mi is also 12, but she can already make numerous otaku fap to her. At the same age, Xiao Qin was still rolling around in the mud and fighting with me.

“At the girls school, I didn’t really find anything good about girls, so I still dressed as a boy everyday. I only felt slightly lonely without Ye Lin classmate beside me, so… I began to look for a replacement, someone I could bully….”

As expected, you’re a major sadist. Will you die if you don’t bully someone?

“As the leader of the delinquent girls, I could bully as many girls as I want. But it doesn’t really give me a sense of accomplishment, all they would do is cry and beg for mercy… no matter how much I hit Ye Lin classmate before, he would never cry or beg for mercy…”

A real man would never beg their enemy for mercy, nor would they cry. Even though I did cry a lot of times behind your back, I would never let you see! Even my dad has never seen it.

“Later on, there were a bunch of female students who got cheated on by their boyfriends. So, I did the right thing and took care of a bunch of scum who played with their feelings. It felt satisfying when I broke their noses, as if I got back some of the fun I felt from back then when I was playing with Ye Lin classmate…”

Does breaking noses count as playing? I’m not going to accompany you with your ruthless games.

“But.” Xiao Qin’s voice became more hoarse, “Even with everyone’s respect, and the satisfaction from beating up all those cheaters, I still felt like I was missing something…”

“Until one rainy day when I found out a girl was dumped by her boyfriend. She couldn’t speak clearly because she was crying the whole time, but I was able to find out his surname was Ye and he often strolls around in the cultural park in the west district…”

“We all rushed over to the park with killing intent and waited at the bench he appears at. Time slowly ticked away and everyone gradually became more and more impatient. I became more nervous for some reason. I began to hope that the person was you in one corner of my mind…”

It’s not me! I had finally escaped from your clutches and was undergoing hell training everyday! Where would I have the time to go and pick up girls! I found it pretty funny, but I promised I wouldn’t laugh.

“The rain got heavier and I took everyone under a nearby pavilion to avoid the rain. Everyone said the man with the Ye surname wouldn’t come today. Usually, I don’t have a lot of patience, so I would have already left. But I was really stubborn that day and didn’t want to give up the chance of meeting you.”

“In my mind, I’ve already began imagining how I would…. take care of you.” At this time, Xiao Qin looked up afraid I would be upset, but she continued to speak when she realized I was still listening intently:

“I comforted myself by saying the only reason I desired for you was because we haven’t fought in a while… once I land some punches and kicks on you, my desires would be satisfied… I even planned on questioning you: ‘Why did you abandon your girlfriend’, ‘Are all pretty boys unreliable’. I would laugh to myself every time I thought about those words and it baffled the people around me.”

I’m sorry, but ever since we parted, every day I lost a bit of right to be called a pretty boy. The proof was because I got fewer candy from Auntie Ren, fewer people asked me for directions, until those all completely stopped.

“It was almost dinner time before a boy walked over with a black umbrella. I couldn’t see his face, only his feet, but it did seem similar to yours.”

I don’t think anyone has the ability to recognize someone by their feet. It’s because that’s the outcome you were hoping for.

“I braved the rain and ran in front of the boy. I had an unsuppressible amount of joy as I smacked the umbrella out of his hands. The words Ye Lin was about to slip out of my mouth… but I realized it wasn’t you. It was someone wearing a thick pair of glasses and reading an English novel with a picture of a rocket on the cover…”

Xiao Qin sighed, “The disappointment I felt at the time is indescribable, I felt… it was all Ye Lin classmate’s fault. Why did you send a fake, why didn’t you come personally? The thoughts drove me mad and I gave that person a ferocious beating. If everyone didn’t hold me back, I would have broken his bones…”

Based on your description, he seems like a sci-fi fan who loves to read. He doesn’t seem like a guy who would abandon his girlfriend. Are you sure your classmate didn’t lie?

“Oh, I found out late that boy’s surname wasn’t Ye, he was just passing by. It’s because he had a similar body to Ye Lin classmate, and he ended up getting beat up…”

Wow, now that’s an unjust attack. He must have some trauma after getting randomly attacked at a park. He must have turned into a mad scientist and is current building the iron man to get revenge.

“I stood there on the spot in the rain after my companions dragged the boy away. I couldn’t hear anything they said to me, but tears began to fall uncontrollably from my eyes…”

“That was when I realized Ye Lin classmate was special, no one could replace Ye Lin classmate’s existence. I realized since that guy whose surname is Ye could get a girlfriend, then Ye Lin classmate could also get a girlfriend. I suddenly became envious of the girl who was Ye Lin classmate’s girlfriend, the one who would get married to Ye Lin classmate. I even wanted to disrupt your wedding ceremony and ask why you didn’t choose me…”

I think you’re thinking way too far into the future. I was still desperately training myself while swearing to myself I would get brother Optimus Prime back.

“I looked at my weird clothing, my vulgar subordinates, and the glasses boys blood stained on my fists. I realized the reason you didn’t choose me is because I’m nothing like a girl, regardless of appearance or personality… as I thought about the person who would one day marry you and become the most important person in your heart, I knelt down in the rain and began to weep…”

I could definitely imagine the scene where the Rose trio tries to help her while Xiao Qin swats them away. That scene must have been quite comical.

But I was left speechless as Xiao Qin was sincerely exposing her feelings to me and I unconsciously held her tighter.

Xiao Qin moved her upper body closer to me and closed her eyes. I could hear her heart beating faster through her clothes.

“At the time, I knew it was over, I couldn’t be separated from Ye Lin classmate. I wanted to accompany Ye Lin classmate everyday even if I had to turn into a cat or a hamster…”

Two tears rolled down along her lashes, but it seems she was more happy than sad because I was next to her.

“Cats and hamsters both have short lives.” I reminded her at a loss of words.

“It doesn’t matter.” Xiao Qin shook her head with a slight smile, “That would actually be better for me. I’m satisfied as long as long as I can be with Ye Lin classmate for as long as I’m alive. One of my top ten wishes is that Ye Lin classmate will live longer than me. It’s because I’m selfish and I want to see Ye Lin classmate worried and cry for me. If I even think about Ye Lin classmate missing me after my death, I feel like I would be willing to pay anything to achieve it…”

I unconsciously teared up a bit at her forlorn words. I looked to the side, so I wouldn’t be seen by Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin didn’t really need to say what happened next. Because she really wanted to see me, she was still worried about my reaction since she bulled me a lot as the Little Tyrant. So she dropped out of school, cut off all connections, and used a mountain of shoujo manga to drown herself. She learned a bunch of stupid techniques for girls, prohibited herself from practising martial arts, and let her muscles degrade, so she could wipe away her past history as the Little Tyrant.

Even though Auntie Ren was pained at Xiao Qin’s decision, but she couldn’t do anything about her stubborn daughter.

Three years passed by until Xiao Qin saw some results and her chest even grew out a bit. That’s when she received my challenge letter.

She took that as a sign and came to confess to me, but was rejected.

And that’s how the story began.

“Ye Lin classmate. From a certain perspective, I’m happy we split apart and I was able to realized my true feelings. But now, I don’t want to be apart from you anymore. As long as you’re happy, I’ll work hard to change into whatever you like…”

“I like you’re original self.” I blurted, but in order to declare I wasn’t a homosexual who was in love with the Little Tyrant, I said: “It’s fine to just be yourself.”

“Thank you.” Xiao Qin smiled sweetly and brought her delicate body closer to me, “I feel like Ye Lin classmate is much gentler than usual…”

She looked at me with determined eyes and requested: “Can you hug me tighter?”
