I thought the ss leader would order me to give the head teacher and the four student council members a beating to save the kitten’s life. Then, she would have to give up her position as the ss leader and be a problem student like me (why do I feel slightly expectant).


    Who knew she took an action I never would have expected.


    She calmed down in an instant, quickly ran up to the window sill, grabbed the kitten, and... covered it under her skirt.


    Damn, you exposed yourself! You didn’t even expose yourself during radio calisthenics, but you did in front of me. I was able to see your pure white legs!


    At this point, the head teacher and the others have already caught up. They were puzzled because they couldn’t find the cat after ncing around.


    “I clearly heard a cat...”


    The ss leader held down the hems of her skirt and made an unconcerned expression. She looked like some of those literature and art girls while gazing out the window.


    Actually, she was monitoring the head teacher’s group’s movements in the window’s reflection.


    The ss leader wanted to clench her legs together, but she was afraid of hurting the kitten. But it would also feel awkward if she didn’t clench her legs.


    The ss leader sat down in the most rational method to hide the kitten that was under her skirt; she crossed her legs.


    The advantages are clear, since she can hide the kitten in the triangr space between her legs.


    But the disadvantage when a girl takes this posture is that it makes them seems as if they don’t want to talk to anyone. It’s also extremely disrespectful in front of the head teacher.


    “Huh, aren’t you ss 2-3’s ss leader, Shu Sha?” The head teacher pushed up her circr oversized sses.


    The ss leader used one hand to hold down her skirt and scratched her neck with the other, “Sorry, my throat’s a bit hoarse today, so I can’t speak loudly.”


    Even though the head teacher saw me standing nearby, she believes I was only passing by and she continued to question Shu Sha:


    “Have you seen a kitten pass by?”


    “No...”


    A faint meow could be heard from under her skirt before she even finished speaking.


    You’re definitely going to get caught! I mean, you stuffed a kitten into a hot and unventted area on a hot summer’s day, there’s no way it wouldn’t meow! Even if it has resistance against your hunter’s aura, it would still panic after being embraced by a hunter!


    The head teacher was like a fly attracted to the smell of shit and she shifted her gaze towards the ss leader’s skirt.


    The other four student council members, three guys and one girl, all looked at the ss leader’s skirt.


    “Why do I hear meowinging from your body?” The head teacher asked coldly.


    “It’s not a cat.” The ss leader denied it in a hurry, “I said my throat was a bit hoarse, my words just kind of sound like a meow... if you don’t believe me, I’ll say it again.”


    “N~oo, me~ow, me~ow~~~~”


    The ss leader wasn’t great at telling lies, but she tried her best to imitate a cat with an innocent expression.


    It’s too cute. If she raised one hand towards the ceiling, then she would look really simr to a lucky cat! The three male student council members all blushed while the female student council member was going crazy with envy.


    The head teacher snorted, “You think you can fool me? Everyone already knows you like cats. The ‘cat club’ I cracked down on had records of you being a previous member.”


    The ss leader tightened her grip on the skirt as she was exposed, but she still refused to admit the truth:


    “I, I didn’t join the cat club because I like cats, it was because I... I like to abuse cats, so I was kicked out of the club. I’m really not hiding the cat.”


    All of a sudden, the ss leader groaned with a painedplexion, but she was able to remainposed after she clenched her teeth.


    Did the cat scratch her? Did the kitten unleash its weapons at the ss leader’s thighs because it’s being trapped in a tight and hot space?


    What an ungrateful beast. It should be happy hiding under a ce where many people would line up to take its ce.


    “Shu Sha, stand up.” The head teachermanded.


    The ss leader shook her head, “I can’t, my leg is injured.”


    The head teacher sneered.


    “How strange. Why is a student who is usually serious and honest keep telling lies? Didn’t you say earlier you had a hoarse throat? Then, why are you speaking louder.”


    The ss leader bit her lips in frustration.


    Unfortunately, the cat didn’t stay still and began to w randomly under her skirt. Because the ss leader pressed down on the sides of her skirt, it kept trying different ways to escape. No, you can’t go there!


    The ss leader gasped in surprise and arched her body forward. Her body was as red as a pomegranate.


    In order to hide the cat’s sounds, she also forced herself to meow periodically.


    I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I walked between the ss leader and the group of five and I stared at the head teacher.


    The four students each took a step back and left the head teacher at the frontier.


    “Ye Lin, what... are you doing?” The head teacher asked nervously.


    “Yeah, what am I doing?” I scratched behind my ear and replied sloppily.


    “I’m trying to have a conversation with Shu Sha, it has nothing to do with you.”


    “Ah, what a coincidence, I also have to talk to Shu Sha. Can you let me talk to her first?”


    “Hmph, Shu Sha is a top student, why would you need to talk to her.” The head teacher became a bit upset.


    “That’s not true.” I blew off the earwax I picked off my pinkie, “She might have been a top student for too long, so she’s looking for me to do some bad things. Actually, when Shu Sha crosses her legs, she really gives off the impression of a female gang leader, what do you think?”


    Shu Sha was angry I made fun of her in this situation, but the kitten was more important and she couldn’t move.


    We stood in a deadlock for a while, then the head teacher nced at the four pieces of trash who were backing up and she finally gave up.


    She warned me before she left:


    “Ye Lin, I’m not afraid of you, I’m letting you go because you’re acquainted with Xing Xing.”


    Stop lying, who are you even trying to scare? I’m the one who held back; if you weren’t Xing Xing’s aunt, I would have already punched you.


    The ss leader nced at me after the cat catching squad left.


    “Turn around.”


    “Why?”


    “Do... you even have to ask? I have to take the kitten out.”


    Now you know how to be embarrassed? I’ve already seen it when you hid the kitten, it’s a shame I couldn’t clearly see the color...


    I turned around, then the ss leader held the kitten in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Kitty, you dodged a bullet.”


    The ss leader spoke to the puzzled kitten.


    “Stop ying around.” I said, “Hurry and release the cat outside the school before the head teacher returns. There’s a hole in the chain-link fence behind the school, that’s probably where it crawled in from.”


    The ss leader reluctantly nodded.


    “Why didn’t you just grab the cat and run earlier?” I asked.


    “Because you can’t run in the halls.” The ss leader answered with a matter-of-fact tone.


    So, it was to abide by school rules? I can’t believe you even had the time to think about rules in that situation! It’s a good thing the school doesn’t prohibit hiding cats under your skirt.


    I walked in front, while the ss leader walked behind me using my body as a cover. She was able to carefully deliver the cat to the chain-link fence, and she nearly wept when they had to part ways.


    “Kitty, do you live nearby? I’lle and visit, and be careful of bad guys!”


    The kitten immediately jumped into the fields behind the hole in the fence after it was free from the ss leader’s clutches.


    The ss leader waved at the back figure of the kitten hoping it would look back once.


    The cat raised its tail pridefully and left while ignoring the ss leader.


    The ss leader and I were both squatting in front of the chain-link fence. I was observing the ants cause I had nothing to do while she was frustrated.


    “Why are you calling it kitty.” I asked, “It might not like being called that.”


    The ss leader gazed sentimentally at the spot where the cat disappeared.


    “Because there were five cats at my grandparents’ ce and each one was called kitty.”


    Ah, what a coincidence, my grandmother’s cats were all called tiggy, even their names sound cooler than cats at the ss leader’s house. (TN: LOL, I don’t think there’s a cute word for tigers)


    The ss leader had a pained expression as she pressed her hands against her thighs when she stood up.


    “So you were scratched by the cat.” I asked, “Do you want to go to the infirmary to get treated?”


    “No.” The ss leader tided up the creases on her skirt, “There’s something wrong with the school’s doctor. I think she’s done something really bad to the students. I’m going to report her to the police once I have any concrete evidence.”


    I shrugged and didn’t make ament.


    I saw the ss leader reach into her pockets to look for a napkin with no luck, so I took out my own and handed it to her: “Use mines.”


    I identally pulled out the lipstick along with it, but I quickly stuffed it back in.


    Of course, it didn’t escape the ss leader’s eyes, she hesitated a bit and asked:


    “It’s still in its packaging... did you buy it as a gift for Xiao Qin?”


    It’s actually for your brother, but I can’t say the truth. If I told you, you would burst my head open, turn me into jerky and feed me to the kitty.


    I could only acquiesce the ss leader’s statement.


    The ss leader seemed to be as disappointed as when the kitty jumped away into the fields.


    “Middle schoolers shouldn’t use makeup.” The ss leader said faintly, “But I’ll let you off this once.”


    Why does the figure of the ss leader’s back when she’s leaving seem even more lonely?
