Volume 4, Chapter 70: Why are you such an expert
TL: flarewk
"Zhang Jian! Let's have lunch together!"
"Mm, a luncheon huh, I have the same thinking as well."
"Same thinking as well? I somehow feel that today, you gave off a sort of.......formally polite kind of sensation..."
Due to that name-calling early in the morning, Ma Qing Xue was delighted until she over-lapsed many of my abnormal behavior, and Yè Zǐ being a person from ancient times, wanting her to say out modern-day language within a short period of time was still rather difficult, but luckily I normally wouldn't speak my hometown's dialect in front of them, if not Yè Zǐ would have a harder time acting.
"Don't tell me that you didn't like my this look of being rather knowledgeable?"
Yè Zǐ confusedly looked towards Ma Qing Xue, and blinked her eyes, I know about her way of thinking, in ancient times, a woman normally would either like smart scholars or manly-oozing rugged heroes.
"Nope, no matter what type you are, I always liked it all."
Ma Qing Xue gave off a smile, and grasped my hands as we went towards the exclusive canteen for the Student Council members.
This kind of situation right now, no matter how you view it me and Ma Qing Xue looked like a loving couple, and Yè Zǐ wasn't shy at all, just like that flirted around casually with Ma Qing Xue all the way.....my god......
How am I supposed to explain today's events to Ma Qing Xue tomorrow.....although I indeed had confessed to her, but I still hoped to be a little conservative in our relationship.
If it wasn't for my old veteran's status, just my behavior today would warrant me being immolated by the school's male body for an improbable amount of times repeatedly already.
"Zhang Jian.....when you're drinking water, why must you use your hand to cover your mouth....."
"About this.....please don't mind me....."
The habits from ancient times still resided within Yè Zǐ's body, and if this goes on I have no idea how much more of a fool I'm going to display, so it's best that I'd hurry up on returning home then......
For the afternoon classes, under my stern warning, it ended with Yè Zǐ not doing anything outrageous at all, and from the moment that the after-school bell rang, I deeply gave off a sigh of relief within my heart.
"Yè Zǐ, go back immediately, don't hesitate.....through the back door!"
"Can I play outside for a little while...."
"No way, it's not that you can't feel what I'm feeling right now too!"
"Mm....."
I've endured the entire day of not going to the toilet.....and as for the reason, of course it's because I'm quite shy! So, I don't want to do anything else right now, only just wanting to hurry on home to let Yè Zǐ come out and allowing me to properly use the toilet.
Hastily rushing back home, right now my endurance was up to the point where I had to temporarily forget off my shame and ask Yè Zǐ to clutch it, but it so deliberately happens that.....my house door entrance stood an extremely big trouble.
"Yo, Jian ge, want to come over and eat......"
"Xia meimei, please hold on for a moment, I have something urgent, allow me to first enter here before saying....."
"Jian ge, today your brain's been clipped by the door.....no, there's not a day where your brain wasn't being clipped by the door before, so today you must have been clipped especially badly, why did you start calling me Xia meimei....."
"Let's.....let's first leave it at that, I'll go in first and explain to you later when I come out......."
I can't already hold it in any longer, I'm extremely uncomfortable right now, and Yè Zǐ's feelings probably were the same as me too, there's no need for me to tell her anything, she herself was very anxious as well.
"Why are you clutching over there? Is it because you're hiding some kind of thing....show me and I'll let you in!"
Xiao Ling pointed at me who was clutching onto my pants, to be more accurately....it's Yè Zǐ, if it wasn't being clutched I had the feeling that it would be disastrous.....
"There's nothing at all......."
"There must be, let me see!"
"There's indeed nothing at all!"
"Then just let your hands go."
"No, if I let go...."
"Not letting go, right? Take a look on what's this?"
Xiao Ling didn't continue on bullshitting, and straightaway took out a taser that she always carried around, and if I was to be tasered by it, my entire body would be paralyzed....once my tightly suppressed concentration is relaxed, the outcome would be.....a fountain, a waterfall!
"What's this thing......"
Yè Zǐ evidently didn't know what a taser is used for at all, I'd better quickly explain to her, if not Xiao Ling would really go on and taser me.
"Yè Zǐ, this is a modern weapon that can make me instantly lose my ability to retaliate!"
I rapidly explained to her within my mind.
"Xia meimei.....I'm begging you, please let me go in first, I'll agree to anything you say later!"
"Yè Zǐ! What are you saying, quickly renege it! I'd rather leak out than to agree to Xiao Ling's conditions, my life's at stake here!"
Tch, Yè Zǐ spouted out nonsense once again, Xiao Ling's conditions, there's never a single good one from it!
"Jian ge, this was what you promised! Go in then....."
Xiao Ling expertly took out my house's keys, and actually helped me to open my door; where's my privacy?! I remembered that Ma Qing Xue also had my house's keys, looks like I'll need to change my door lock already!!
The instant I entered the door, I flew towards the balcony, and my hands went to touch the Han clothing according to what Yè Zǐ had explained earlier; what followed next was a lightening of my body, and I hastily dashed towards the toilet.
"Ahhhhh........"
A satisfied sound oozed out from my lips, this kind of feeling was as relaxing as being reborn once again, and I felt my entirety almost floating up to heaven in the process.
Finally resolving the big problem within my heart, I walked out of the toilet to discover Xiao Ling already sitting onto the sofa of the living room waiting for me. I guess that she probably wants to negotiate conditions with me......damn it, hopefully it's not a condition where I would really have to lose my life.
"Jian ge, when will you accompany me to visit my lao bà for a trip, he says that he wants to see you."
"Eeh....your lao bà wants to see me for what....."
"He says that any person who had the audacity to hit on his daughter must die."
"Then aren't you just letting me go there to die!!!"
"No, I said that you're a very outstanding person, so.....lao bà said that he wants to give you a short test, since it's possible that you may become the organization's head in the future."
"May I ask.....if I reject this......"
"Bang! Boom! Ka thunk! Ka chak! Ting dong!"
Xiao Ling only imitated a few sound expressions, and I already thought as much of ten ways to die......
"Xiao Ling..., um....what kind of person is your father like....."
