I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 369 – Bigger Misunderstanding

After we finished our class meeting, Xiao Qin showed me the class outfit she designed.

Of course, it was another potato. This time, it was a smooth potato with the number 3 written on top of it.

“It’s too simplistic.” I gave my opinions, “The crown should stand out more...”

Xiao Qin added a few scribbles and drew a crude crown on top of the potato with my advice.

“Now it stands out more.” Xiao Qin awaited my approval with expectancy.

“Tsk, if you had a lot of ideas, why didn’t you mention them in the meeting?”

“It’s because there are too many boys in our class. I can’t walk to the front of the class and write it on the board in front of all the boys, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to understand the deep implications behind my design if I pass it up with a slip of paper...”

What deep implications? Besides, the idea of the 3 with the crown was someone else’s idea. The only original aspect you added is the potato!

During lunch break, I wanted to have a chat alone with Gong CaiCai and tell her not to tell the class leader about how I kissed Xiao Qin. But she was always with other girls and became afraid whenever I got close, so I could only put my plans on hold.

Since I can’t complete this task, then I would have to focus on my other task.

Which was to let Xiong YaoYue know that the most handsome guy in the school, Shen ShaoYi, wants to date you.

I don’t think Xiao Xiong would mind if I get straight to the point.

I found her rinsing her foot in the sink near the exercise fields because she had sand in her shoes.

“The water’s pretty damn cold.” Xiong YaoYue muttered to herself.

“It’s because Dong Shan city uses deep groundwater.” I followed up on her words.

“Oh, it’s you. You scared me.” Xiong YaoYue said, “I thought it was the head teacher, if I got caught by her rinsing my feet in the sink, she would send a warning and scold me again.”

“I mean it’s not a big deal, but the class leader would be furious if our class dropped points and my ears would have to suffer.”

So you were trying to get back at her by calling her Xiao Ban Ban behind her back? If you’re afraid of getting your ears pulled, then stop rinsing your feet here! This is where all the dudes usually come to wash their feet, so a girl being here by herself is really graceless.

After taking a closer look, even though her skin was tanned golden brown, her feet was still their original color. Her skin might not be as white as Gong CaiCai, the class leader, Xiao Qin, but it’s definitely whiter than mines.

There was a clear line of distinction separating the two colors. So Xiong YaoYue wasn’t naturally dark-skinned.

“Did you need me for something?”

Xiong YaoYue didn’t mind it when I stared at her feet for quite a while.

Of course, I wanted to let you know Shen ShaoYi wanted to go on a date with you, or did you think I came here to watch you wash your feet?

“Xiao Xiong, did you know, Shen ShaoYi, he....”

Xiong YaoYue laughed out loud before I finished my sentence.

“I know, hahaha it’s already been spread between all the girls. One of them even posted it in our school’s newspaper and named it ‘Uncovering the secret of Shen ShaoYi’s relationship, he loved someone he shouldn’t love’. It was hilarious.”

Huh, did it get leaked? Did his female fans hear because I was speaking too loudly with him? But, why are you laughing, the person he likes is you! Even if you don’t have any intentions of getting into a relationship, you will still be a target for over half of the girls in 28 Middle.

“Xiao Xiong, be serious. He’s planning on having a serious relationship.”

At this time, Xiong YaoYue had already washed the sand off her feet. She wore her shoes and socks and hopped in place a bit before saying:

“Let’s not waste time. I’m going to run a few laps around the track, we can talk while running.”

I could only run along with her at a medium pace bracing the winds:

“Xiao Xiong, if you already know about it, then you should give him a reply.”

Xiong YaoYue seemed to be happy while exercising. She picked up her pace while yelling into the wind:

“You, should, call me Winnie.”

“What?”

“Because Winnie sounds fashionable and high end. I want everyone to call me by that name.”

Another evasive answer? I can kind of understand how the class leader felt on the lectern now. I was asking if you agree to go on a date with Shen ShaoYi.

“Okay, I’ll call you Winne. But you have to honestly answer my question.” I surrendered to her and said: “What do you plan to do about Shen ShaoYi?”

“Eh, what does Shen ShaoYi have to do with me?”

Xiong YaoYue exclaimed.

“Are... you trying to piss me off? Didn’t you say you already knew everything? If you already know everything, then you should give a reply.”

“Why do I have to give him a reply?”

Are you going to ignore him and give him some neglect play? I never knew Xiong YaoYue would know this tactic.

Shen ShaoYi was still one of the members of the basketball team, so I decided to put in some more effort.

“Winnie, Shen ShaoYi already expressed his feelings, so you should at least...”

“Ye Lin, what’s going on? Why are you making it as if I have some sort of relationship with Shen ShaoYi...”

“Well, you guys don’t have one right now, but we can’t say anything for the future...”

“We won’t have a relationship in the future either. I hate it when he flicks his hair and I have no interest in pretty boys. Besides, doesn’t he belong to you?”

“Wait, what did you say?”

Xiong YaoYue stopped by the sand pits and looked back at me strangely.

“Ye Lin, you’re really dishonest. I mean even the school news people know about it, but you’re still trying to keep it a secret. We’re supposed to be brothers.”

I stood there blankly as she criticized me because I had no clue what she was talking about.

After seeing my face full of grievances, Xiong YaoYue ran back and patted my shoulder to comfort me.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m assuming you’re a bit embarrassed, so your older sister Winnie will forgive you.”

Who’s my sister? Let me repeat myself, I’m older than you.

“I was only guessing before that your lover was from our school... but I never expected it to be Shen ShaoYi. No wonder Shen ShaoYi ignores all the girls who show him affection, it’s because he’s your partner. I see you guys quarrelling on the basketball courts, but I guess you were actually flirting.”

My god I’m pissed. What are you talking about? The one Shen ShaoYi likes is you! Even if he was actually gay, his partner would be captain Guo SongTao, not me! Did you hear that rumor from Little Smart? I can’t believe it already spread across the entire school in one morning.

Xiong YaoYue did some stretches while asking:

“But according to them, it seems you were on the attacking side. I thought you were on the receiving side before, or are you alright with being both?”

Who’s the one spreading these baseless rumors?!! I mean it can’t be Little Smart because she always supports captain Guo SongTao with Shen ShaoYi.

I tried to calm down a bit before speaking to her again:

“You... can’t be more wrong. Shen ShaoYi likes you, so he asked me help him pull some strings with you.”

Xiong YaoYue burst out laughing as if she heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Ahahaha, why would that pretty boy like me, I don’t even know him.”

He only likes you because he doesn’t know you. Haven’t you heard the phrase ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’? Xiao Qin and I are too familiar with each other that we’ve even used the washroom together. I would never fall in love with someone who would crawl into my cubicle after he’s done using the washroom and snatch the toilet paper.

I kept retelling her Shen ShaoYi’s words until she felt I wasn’t joking anymore.

“Isn’t he your lover, why would he ask you to speak with me?”

“I’m not gay, how many times do I have to tell you that?”

“I understand.” Xiong YaoYue clasped her hands together, “Is Shen ShaoYi dumping you?”

What did you understand? What kind of twisted logic is that?

“Isn’t it obvious? He wants his own lover to play the matchmaker, you must be so hurt to be forced to play as the matchmaker.”

Nope, you’re overthinking it. I’m not hurt at all, but I already gave up on your intelligence level.

Xiong YaoYue clenched her fists and cursed:

“Shen ShaoYi is awful. He clearly likes me, but he would use me as an excuse to dump you. As expected, all pretty boys lacks a good conscience.”

“I mean I don’t even like him, but even if I did, I would never betray my best friend. Tell Shen ShaoYi that I would never steal my best friend’s lover.”

She once again patted my shoulders to comfort me.

“Don’t be down. Even if you were unlucky and ran into scum, you will still meet your true love in the future. I’ll always be there to support you.”

“Um... actually my captain for our game team is a pretty elegant man, should I introduce him to you?”

No, but thanks for your good intentions. I feel like I’m too tired right now to ever love again.

I returned in low spirits to pass on the bad message to Shen ShaoYi.

“Why.” Shen ShaoYi clenched his fists, “Why won’t she even give me a chance?”

“Accept your fate...” I advised, “Actually Winnie might be misunderstanding something about you...”

“Winnie, who’s Winnie?”

“Ah, it’s Xiao Xiong, it’s a new nickname she likes... the reason she rejected is because she thinks you like men....”

Shen YaoYi’s face distorted and he kicked a basketball rack, “I don’t like men, it’s all baseless rumors. There’s nothing going on between me and the captain.”

No, actually the recent rumors already paired us together, but I’m too ashamed to tell you.

“Anyway, Winnie will ignore until you clear up the misunderstanding... so the priority is to prove you’re not gay...”

“How would I prove it?”

“Um... I don’t know either... how about you accept one of the female’s who’s chasing you and get together in front of Winnie...”

“How could you even think of that? She might not think I’m gay, but she would definitely think I’m a playboy.”

We had a lengthy debate on the basketball court on how to prove we weren’t gay and it troubled us for the entire afternoon.
