I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl Chapter 97 – Poisonous Tea

When I walked into the kitchen, the cla.s.s leader was staring blankly at the teaset placed ontop of the marble counter.

Was she missing something she needed to make tea? But then shouldn’t she ask Xiao Qin, and not me?

Following along the direction of where the cla.s.s leader was pointing towards, I realized what went wrong.

Xiao Qin’s house had a large variety of tea leaves. Listing them off in order: Pi Lo Chun, West Lake Dragon Well, Xinyang Maojian…. But amongst all the cans of tea leaves, there was a reagent bottle placed conspicuously. Large, eye-catching words were written with a marker on the label —— “Croton“.

Isn’t that a d.a.m.n laxative!

Through the gla.s.s reagent bottle, you can clearly see it was filled with a yellowish powder. You could even faintly smell the bitter medicinal properties through the bottle, it was efinitely authentic.

Even if you weren’t a diligent student, you should know from the innumerable period dramas that Croton is a traditional Chinese medicine that cuases diarrhea. If you intake too much, it would result in dehydration, b.l.o.o.d.y stool, and in some severe cases, death.

Why did Xiao Qin put something so dangerous next to the tea leaves! What’s her motive!

She definitely wanted the cla.s.s leader to poison her! It can’t be any more obvious! In Xiao Qin’s mind, she probably thought the cla.s.s leader would see the Croton and get seduced by her inner demon. After the cla.s.s leader poisons her tea, Xiao Qin would run embarra.s.singly to the washroom while the cla.s.s leader would laugh!

Stop dreaming! Even if you stood on the streets with a machete next to you with a banner that says ‘Feel free to decapitate’, it would be way too suspicious! Too suspicious, it’s definitely a trap! Even if the cla.s.s leader actually wanted to harm you, she wouldn’t fall for that trap.

I awkwardly explained to the cla.s.s leader:

“This is one of Xiao Qin’s pranks, don’t take it to heart. Although she always seems sickly at school, she actually loves playing pranks and always tells a bunch of incomprehensible corny jokes.”

The cla.s.s leader knitted her brows to express disbelief.

“It’s… it’s just that her brains short-circuited, she’s brainless! Do you understand? Later, if she says anything strange to you, don’t take it seriously!”

I have to take some protective measures. Who knows how much Xiao Qin will spout off later and what kinds of stories she’ll make up.

The cla.s.s leader sighed disappointedly, “Who knew, even Ye Lin would bad mouth others behind their backs.”

Eh? How did it become me bad mouthing Xiao Qin? How did it turn into me instigating problems between the girls’ relations.h.i.+ps! This doesn’t match my Metal Blood Lone Wolf style! This is only something the Eunuchs from period dramas do!

When the cla.s.s leader finished making tea and brought it into the living room, Xiao Qin deliberately waited until everyone picked up a cup and she took the reminaing one. She took a sip with a serious expression.

“Becareful, it’s hot!” the cla.s.s leader warned.

It was better if she didn’t warn her, since after her warning, Xiao Qin raised her head and drank the scalding tea in one go.

Was it so the cla.s.s leader didn’t have a chance to renege? She probably thought the cla.s.s leader’s warning was a signal fromher conscience. Regardless if it’s a shojo or a shounen manga, as longs as the antagonist finds their conscience, they have they chance to wash away their sins and obtain a happy ending. Xiao Qin didn’t want to give the cla.s.s leader a chance to wash her sins, so she probably had to drink the poisoned tea.

“Hothothothothothothothothothothothothothothot——it burns!!!”

It was so hot that Xiao Qin lept off the sofa to hop around while sticking out her swollen tongue. She only produced intelligible wails, with a expression of seeking death. She ran around the sofa twice, until she tripped on hr skirt and landed face first in front the cla.s.s leader and my feet.

The cla.s.s leader was shocked and speechless, she ever forgot to put down the teacup she was holding. It took awhile befre the cla.s.s leader helped Xiao Qin up, as if she was askwenign from a dream.

“Xiao Qin, you’re too impatient. Don’t move, I’ll blow it for oyu.”

When she saw that Xiao Qin was lying on the ground, unlikely to get up, she crouched down. She held up her face and gently blew on her swollen tongue to help lessen her pain.

Eh? Their faces are really close together! As if they’re going to kiss! I sat on the sofa cross legged while sipping tea, it’s like I was a special audience!

One reason was because her tongue hurt too much, and another was because she idn’t not expect the cla.s.s leader to treat her so well. So, Xiao Qin could only sit there and let the cla.s.s leader do whatever she wants.

“Does it still hurt?” the cla.s.s leader asked sincerely while holding Xiao Qin’s hands.

Xiao Qin cautiously pulled back her tongue and tried moving it a bit in her mouth, it seems she felt much better.

But she still couldn’t speak, so she nodded her head. Later, she felt that was incorrect, so she shook her head.

Regardless of how chaotic the response was, the cla.s.s leader could tell that Xiao Qin’s pain had subsided a bit based on her expression.

The cla.s.s leader poured a cup of warm water for Xiao Qin to keep in her mouth, then she told me to come to the kitchen to help her wash the fruits.

In reality she didn’t even need my help. She started was.h.i.+ng the fruits like an expert, while she was a bit puzzled and asked me:

“Usually at school, Xiao Qin is pretty normal, other than being a bit shy. Why was she so absent-minded today and directly drank the scalding tea?”

I couldn’t tell the truth, so I could only half-heartedly say: “Who knows? She’s braindead!”

The cla.s.s leader closed her eyes halfway and gazed at me with suspicion.

“Is it because you’re here? Everytime you’re here, Xiao Qin doesn’t act normally. What kind of secrets do you have on her?”

“Hey, cla.s.s leader, explain! What kind of secret would make her this scared?”

“I don’t know… but under normal circ.u.mstances, the wicked would always use photos or videos to threaten girls…”

I’m threatening Xiao Qin? More like she’s threatening me! She forcibly gave me 20 ofher photos because she wanted to give me nightmares every night! As for videos… the Little Tyrant recorded the times when she bullied me to keep as a souvenir. She’s the true evil!

As I thought of how I suffered under the Little Tyrant, my face expressed signs of anguish.

The cla.s.s leader misunderstood and thought that she exposed the truth.

“Go surrender.”

“Eh?”

“If you surrender now, you might even get some leniency.”

The cla.s.s leader said while sorting the washed fruits into a different basket. She used the back of her hand to rub her eyes and she turned away so I couldn’t see her expression.

What did I do that needs me to surrender! Am I using Xiao Qin’s nude photos or videos to threaten her? Also why do you sound sad? Is it because one of your cla.s.smates is about to be locked up and you won’t see them for a while?

I don’t need your sympathy! I don’t even have any nude photos of Xiao Qin, but as for you, I can get a whole pile of your nude photos! Althought currently they are all photoshopped, who knows when your borther might get his hands on the real thing! Future victims have no right to sympathize with me!

The more I thought about.i.t, the more upset I became. The more upset I became, the hotter the room felt, so I started to unb.u.t.ton my sleeves.

The cla.s.s leader was shocked by my actions.

“You, what are you doing?”

“Taking off my clothes! If I’m going to be locked up anyway, I should do anything I want so I won’t have any regrets!”

I laughed evilly, expecting the cla.s.s leader to scream.

The cla.s.s leader took a deep breath, opened the drawer behind her, and took a 9 inch blade. She held it in her hands while staring at me coldly.

I felt that if I pounced, she would stab me without a moment of hesitation.

“You can’t even take a joke!” I shrugged my shoulders, “I was taking off my clothes cause it’s too hot, didn’t you also roll up your sleeves?”

The cla.s.s leader lowered the blade in doubt, she didn’t completely relax yet.

How superfluous! If I actually wanted to harm you, would I be afraid of that knife? Tons of hoodlums with knives have been defeated by me. With your half-a.s.sed knife skills, it’s like an amateur facing an expert!
