I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 734: Clothes Blackmail

After I left the class leader’s bedroom, I found out that Gong CaiCai had broken her glasses and had to switch back to contact lenses.

As for exactly when she broke her glasses, it should have been around the time the class leader told Zhuang Ni sternly to get out and her voice scared Gong CaiCai to the extent her glasses died on the spot.

It seems that Gong CaiCai has worn contact lenses longer than actual frame glasses, which makes sense: frame glasses have a rather alarming wear and tear rate on Gong CaiCai’s nose.

The right side of Zhuang Ni’s face, which was swollen because of me, was treated by Gong CaiCai using cotton gauze and tape from the medical kit for emergencies. At this point, it looked like she has the mumps, which looked a bit silly.

Compared to her cheeks, which wasn’t very serious, Zhuang Ni’s neck was more frightening. A purple-reddish color had settled beneath her pale skin for a while now.

Gong CaiCai, who was a member of the school committee and a member of the day-to-day committee, manages the hygiene corner and occasionally provides medicines and bandages for other students. After having dealt with Zhuang Ni’s injury at close range, the gaze she cast at me clearly contained an unconcealable fear.

“Men are all the same.”

When I walked back into the living room with the class leader, I heard Zhuang Ni’s words to Gong CaiCai coming from the kitchen with the half-opened glass door.

The class leader glared at Zhuang Ni through the glass door and she immediately stopped talking, but who knows what she instilled in Gong CaiCai during the time they prepared lunch together.

I’m afraid it’s all about how savage, how mean, how nasty men are and how they will definitely treat you this way in the future, or something like that.

What a joke! The only reason Zhuang Ni was beaten today was entirely because of her loose mouth. She also never admitted her mistakes and even mocked me while I was choking her, so it was partially her own fault.

How would Gong CaiCai ever receive the same treatment? Let’s put aside the fact Zhuang Ni maliciously uses curses, but Gong CaiCai is too kind to even hurt a rabbit slipper. How inhumane would you have to be to slap or choke Gong CaiCai?

Even if Gong CaiCai accidentally broke an invaluable Ming Dynasty vase. If you were the owner of the vase, would you be willing to use violence against her her as she begs you in tears while successively saying “I’m sorry” or “I was wrong”? If you were a bit soft-hearted, you might not even be able to say bad words at her.

Anyway, since Gong CaiCai is rich, it doesn’t matter if the vase is broken, she can ask her parents to pay for it.

“Jie Jie Jie, little girl, you broke my family’s vase that’s worth billions. If you don’t want to startle your parents, use your body to pay for it.”

Maybe there are guys like Eunuch Cao who would say the above, but if they abuse Gong CaiCai like how I abused Zhuang Ni today, then they would absolutely be a heartless cold-blooded murderer. They absolutely would not meet the standard of an ordinary person.

To sum it up, Gong CaiCai is afraid of me because Zhuang Ni was beaten by me, but it was unfounded fear. It’s only because her judgment abilities is too easily influenced by others.

“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, you and the class leader came out…”

Gong CaiCai, who brought out a plate of salad from the kitchen, had an unnatural expression when she spoke to me.

“Ah… ah ah ah ah.”

If the class leader hadn’t reached out and caught it in the nick of time, Gong CaiCai would have sent the plate of salad all over the floor.

“Sorry…” Gong CaiCai, who got help, felt that she had caused trouble for the class leader.

The class leader said it didn’t deserve an apology, but Gong CaiCai, who was very imaginative when it came to self-examination, was stubborn and said everything was her own fault.

“If I hadn’t requested to learn how to cook from the class leader…”

Gong CaiCai sighed with self pity.

“Then there wouldn’t have been a lot of dishes to eat, and Ye Lin and Zhuang Ni might not have run into each other…”

“If Ye Lin and Zhuang Ni didn’t run into each other, Zhuang Ni wouldn’t have been beaten up by Ye Lin for badmouthing Xiao Qin, and…”

Gong CaiCai looked at the red and purple marks on Zhuang Ni’s neck with trepidation.

It seems that Zhuang Ni’s explanation to Gong CaiCai was that she was beaten by me because she said bad things about Xiao Qin. She purposely concealed facts related to Auntie Ren’s miscarriage to Gong CaiCai and I didn’t know her intentions.

“So… so everything is my fault.” Gong CaiCai did a self-reflection with a sobbing voice, “It’s all because of me that Zhuang Ni was beaten, that Ye Lin would explode with anger, and that the class leader would get so angry…”

“If only I hadn’t come to the class leader’s house, if only I hadn’t been born in this world.”

That’s enough. Why are you putting all the blame on yourself? Is it also your fault that humanity still hasn’t achieved world peace?

The class leader had to console Gong CaiCai, while bringing completed dishes from the kitchen to the table. She was surprised to find that with Zhuang Ni’s guidance and help, those dishes that were originally half-completed, were completed perfectly. Such as the ginkgo salad, the vegetarian rolls, the steamed luffa stuffed with meat, each of them looked like they came out of the hands of a veteran chef.

The salad was a vegetarian dish, the vegetarian rolls was also obviously a vegetarian dish (main ingredients were cabbage, mushrooms, carrots). Even if those two vegetarian dishes were made by Gong CaiCai after spending a lot of time after the class leader laid the foundations, the steamed luffa stuffed with meat required a knife to peel the loofah, then cut it into 5cm long sections, make it into a tube, and then stuff the meat inside.

The class leader had explicitly forbidden Gong CaiCai to use the knife without supervision today, plus Gong CaiCai wasn’t going to learn how to cook with meat, so it was unlikely that the steamed luffa stuffed with meat was made by Gong CaiCai.

“Zhuang Ni, you actually know how to cook?”

The class leader expressed her surprise.

The plate of steamed luffa stuffed with meat showed extraordinary knife work, and I guess even the class leader felt inferior.

It does look like it was made by Zhuang Ni, who was skilled at using knives.

“I don’t know how to cook.” Zhuang Ni replied spirirtlessly, “But I have studied magical potions for a long time, and I’m also very good at handling the corpses of small animals…”

Magic potions, is she referring to the magic potions that were popular among witches in the European Middle Ages? Are you talking about the potions that was a mandatory subject for students below the fifth grade in “Harry Potter” in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the teacher was Professor Snape?

As for dealing with the corpses of small animal or something, don’t mention it at dinner time! One of the dishes here happens to have meat filling, so when you mention a small animal corpse, I immediately suspect that the meat filling is not beef, lamb, or pork, but the meat of a small animal of unknown origin.

Basically, it was very unexpected. With the help of Zhuang Ni, Gong CaiCai inherited the fruits of the class leader’s labor, and finally served the food on the table safe and sound for me to enjoy.

Zhuang Ni did not eat at the table.

It’s not because there weren’t enough seats at the table (exactly four people can be seated), nor was I being fussy and wanted Zhuang Ni to eat on the floor like a cat or dog.

The only reason Zhuang Ni did not eat at the table was because she insisted she wouldn’t eat with men at the same table, so the class leader gave her a separate chair in the kitchen, so she ate in the kitchen by herself.

So, with just me, the class leader, and Gong CaiCai at the table, we followed our original arrangements and talked mostly about food.

“This bamboo shoot and tofu is good, did you make it, Gong CaiCai?”

I put a piece of bamboo shoot in my mouth with my chopsticks and asked as amicably as possible while I pretended to be interested in vegetables as well.

Actually, all my attention was focused on the small bowl of beef stew with potatoes that the class leader had made specially for me.

“I, only, only washed the bamboo shoots…” Gong CaiCai said with shame.

“Then… which dish did you cook yourself?” I asked, “The main reason the class leader told me to come today was to taste your food, so you shouldn’t hide it from me.”

“Um, this five color vegetarian mince was made under the class leader’s guidance…” Gong CaiCai pointed to the one closer to herself, a plate including corn, cucumber, and other ingredients, a colorful dish.

I used a spoon to scoop some into my own bowl. I carefully tasted it and realized it didn’t taste bad. I don’t know if it was because of the class leader’s supervision, but Gong CaiCai’s cooking wasn’t disastrous. If she didn’t drop the plates too much, or spill the food, she might become a good cook in the future.

“It tastes pretty good.” I said partially because it was true and partially to encourage Gong CaiCai. I praised Gong CaiCai’s cooking skills, and it brought a delighted smile to her face.

“You also helped with this dish, didn’t you?” I poked my chopsticks toward the steamed luffa stuffed with meat, which interested me a little more than the other dishes because it had meat in it.

“I only washed the luffa…” Gong CaiCai said weakly, then the class leader said to me, “Try it, I just had a few bites and didn’t find anything unusual.”

Huh, class leader, are you testing it for poison for me? Since the dish was mainly made by Zhuang Ni, were you worried that she put poison in it, so you grabbed a few bites before me?

I think she is meticulously considerate. I can’t believe I actually thought about touching her thighs when she treats me so well.

Although Zhuang Ni helped make lunch, she didn’t have a large appetite and only ate a little bit.

The reason why she stayed at the class leader’s house and refused to leave was because she insisted on drinking the black tea the class leader makes for her.

After drinking black tea, she also asked to use the class leader’s bathroom, so she could “wash away all the traces left by men”, the class leader saw her insistence and had to agree.

Hmph, when she was talking about tea sets, didn’t she say “something touched by a man can never be washed clean”. Let’s see you not wash your body and just smash your body into pieces onto the ground.

It’s not even bad enough she borrowed the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower, Zhuang Ni took her black dress, along with her bra, panties, pantyhose, and cut it all up with scissors and thrown them into the garbage can, saying that clothes touched by men can no longer be worn, hoping that the class leader would lend a set of her own clothes to her.

The class leader expressed indignation at Zhuang Ni’s blackmailing behavior. At first, she did not intend to compromise, but Zhuang Ni came out of the bathroom and walked around completely naked in the class leader’s bedroom, living room, and she didn’t even care when the curtains were not drawn.

Of course, all these things, I later heard from the class leader. When Zhuang Ni was cruising around the class leader’s house naked, I had already been called to Xiao Qin’s house.

Because Xiao Qin inadvertently relayed the nonsense I made up, that my dad was going to marry Auntie Xiao Juan, who had waited 14 years for him, resulting in Auntie Ren getting angry with my dad after just being discharged from the hospital as he escorted her home.
