<h4>Chapter 405 – Attack Preparations</h4>


    The ss leader looked around the empty ssroom when she heard there were delinquents looking for trouble. There were only four students left, so she couldn’t help but look at me.


    “Don’t look at me, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t have a hobby of teasing girl delinquents.”


    I cleared myself before the ss leader could suspect me.


    I actually wasn’t extremely confident because ording to the Five Tiger Punishment Squad’s intelligence reports, the leader of the rose group hates someone with the Ye surname. I don’t know why she resents our family, but if I did identally beat up her boyfriend before, then she’se to the right ce.


    The volleyball girl has seen Xiong YaoYue always hanging around with me, so she wasn’t as afraid of me anymore, and she spoke to the ss leader:


    “It has nothing to do with Ye Lin. The leader said one of the girls from ss 2-3 who stayed behind for ss duties stole her boyfriend...”


    That was close, luckily Xiong YaoYue wasn’t here, otherwise she would pat my shoulder and say: “Good job, you could even steal men from girls. I hope you find happiness in your new rtionship.”


    The ss leader came to a sudden realization and looked at Gong CaiCai.


    Since Gong CaiCai had a small body,rge breasts, good personality, andes from a good family, a lot of boys consider her their number one choice as a girlfriend. Even students from other schools havee here trying to ask out Gong CaiCai to be their girlfriend.


    Of course, even though Gong CaiCai is weak, she didn’t ept all their request otherwise she would already have 100 boyfriends. As for the people who ask her out, she would usually use her parents as an excuse to refuse them. If they were still bothering her, then the ss leader or Xiong YaoYue would be there to help her out. Usually Xiong YaoYue would be more effective because her tomboy characteristics can turn off the guys who like gentle girls. But when the ss leader leader helps out, her face might be serious, but there’s a high chance she bes the new target of those suitors.


    It’s not the first time Gong CaiCai has been wrongly used of stealing someone else’s boyfriend. Justst semester, there was some hoodlum’s girlfriend who came looking for trouble. It was the ss leader who asked for her boyfriend’s number and confronted him before he admitted he had a crush on Gong CaiCai and wanted to breakup, but it had nothing to do with Gong CaiCai.


    “Cai Cai, don’t be afraid.” The ss leaderforted the trembling Gong CaiCai, “It must be a misunderstanding likest time. Let’s go out from the front since there’s security at the gates and they won’t act rashly. We don’t need to hide, we should try to get the problem solved today.”


    When she mentioned there was security at the gates, she nced at me, hoping I would go with them as a bodyguard. I nodded and the corner’s of the ss leader mouth curved up after reaching a mutual agreement.


    “Shu Sha...” The volleyball girl tugged on the ss leader’s clothes from behind, “Can youe with me for a moment, I have something to tell you in private...”


    “Is it something personal, why can’t you say it here?”


    “Well, not really, but it might affect your reputation.”


    The ss leaderughed, “I care more about the reputation of my ss. If it’s me, just point it out when I make mistakes.” The ss leader took a drink from her bottle of water, perhaps it was in preparation for her argumentter with the girls outside.


    The volleyball girl was a bit hesitant, but said: “Shu Sha, actually their leader said the girl who stole their boyfriend wasn’t Gong CaiCai, but... it seems to be you...”


    “Pffft”, the ss leader spat out all the water from her mouth. As one of the people standing next to her, my face, hair, shirt were all drenched in water.


    Xiao Qin who saw my drenched face, handed over some napkins, “Hurry and wipe it off, there’s poison, there’s poison.”


    As I was wiping my face, I could hear the ss leader speaking while trying to suppress her anger:


    “I never stole anyone’s boyfriend, it must be a misunderstanding.”


    Gong CaiCai breathed a sigh in relief when she heard she wasn’t the focus this time, but the uniform was still restricting her breath.


    After wiping my face with a couple of napkins, the ss leader remembered about me and apologized:


    “Are you alright, it wasn’t on purpose.”


    “He’s already been poisoned.” Xiao Qin interrupted.


    “I’m alright. ss leader, whose boyfriend did you steal?”


    “I said I never stole anyone.” Her face turned red from shame and her hair shook violently. If there weren’t this many people around, she would have already kicked me.


    “Shu Sha, are you going to try and reason with them?” The volleyball girl asked cautiously.


    “Why wouldn’t I go?” The ss leader pressed forward, “It’s still a misunderstanding and I never did anything wrong, so I’m not afraid...”


    Then she nced at me and she seemed to be saying with her eyes: “Are you sure you have nothing to do with them?”


    I stepped forward and took the lead to leave the ssroom, “ss leader, I’ll go with you. Our ss leader can’t be bullied or that would damage our ss’ reputation.”


    The ss leader was a bit moved and seemed slightly gratified.


    “But, wait until the cleaning is done...” the ss leader was ufortable seeing a half cleaned ssroom.


    “Why care about cleaning now?” The volleyball girl said, “Since Ye Lin’s still here to protect you, we can go now and scare them off if we can’t reason with them.”


    “I... I’m not going...” Gong CaiCai said feebly, “I’ll stay behind to clean...”


    “I’ll do a good thing and help Gong CaiCai clean together.” The volleyball girl rolled up her sleeves, “I could only y volleyball and can’t fight, so I won’t apany you guys... huh, what’s this scissor for?”


    Since Gong CaiCai was still stuck, the ss leader briefly summarized the situation for volleyball girl.


    “Hahaha, I can’t believe that actually happened. Okay, I’ll save Gong CaiCai, you guys be careful too, they look like difficult opponents.”


    Xiao Qin leaned over and said to me: “It’s all because of the female antagonists fickle nature, you should open your eyes and see the truth.”


    I grabbed onto her hand, “Youe too.”


    “Ye Lin ssmate, not here... there’s people watching...”


    “What do you think I’m bringing you for, I want you to help with the fight.”


    “Eh, but I can’t help since I have a weak body.”


    “Stop with the act in front of me. The opponents are girls, so if we actually get into a fight, I want you to hit them for me.”


    Even if they are delinquents, I can’t really take care of them myself. So, Xiao Qin would be perfect since she’s also a girl.


    “Why do I have to help the ss leader?”


    “do you even have a conscience? Who was the one who helped you out when you first transferred here?”


    Xiao Qin pouted and rolled her eyes to the top left.


    “Did you forget when the ss leader came to visit and cook for you when you had menstrual pains?”


    Now Xiao Qin rolled her eyes in the other direction.


    “No matter what happened, the ss leader was the first to help you. Look at how many times the ss leader brought seafood fried rice for you during lunch when you didn’t want to go to the cafeteria.”


    Xiao Qin’s eyes moistened a bit when I mentioned the seafood rice.


    “I don’t want to be the bad guy. If the ss leader wasn’t trying to steal Ye Lin ssmate away from me, I would probably be good friends with her.”


    “The ss leader already thinks of you as a good friend. Are you not going to help a friend out when you see them in trouble? Is that fair for the ss leader? You say you’re a cat who can y pranks all the time... but as you’ve said before, the number one criteria for the female protagonist is a kind heart. If you’re not kind at all, then as the male protagonist, I would have no reason to like you...”


    Xiao Qin suffered a shock and was about to cry.


    “Please... I tried so hard.... it’s much more difficult being a girl... much harder than fighting...”


    I grabbed her shoulders, “That’s why you can simply fight today. If we need to resort to violent, you can hit them and I’ll like you more.”


    “Really? But if the ss leader sees, then I wouldn’t be able to pretend to be weak anymore...”


    “Well, that trait has never suited you anyway. You can keep pretending or end up being disliked by me, choose one.”


    “I would rather die than have you dislike me.” Xiao Qin clenched her fists, “Even if it’s giving up my weak body characteristic, or using my ugly martial arts...”


    No one called your martial arts ugly. Even when you entered your darkened state, I thought your moves made it seem like a beautiful dance. Your moves made you look really cool, so stop trying to be a manga cat.


    The ss leader asked when she heard Xiao Qin wasing along:


    “Isn’t it better if you stay behind with Gong CaiCai?”


    Gong CaiCai shook her head from behind volleyball girl.


    “No, let mee along.” Xiao Qin got prepared for battle, “In order to make Ye Lin ssmate like me, I will properly reason with them.... with my fists and feet.”
