I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl Chapter 782: Always Be Grateful

Chapter 782: Always Be Grateful

I followed Xiao Qin to Auntie Ren’s room and saw a round sparrow locked inside a square bird cage on the windowsill.

“Ye Lin cla.s.smate, do you see it?” Xiao Qin pointed to the sparrow and said, “My mom came into the room this morning to look for something and it was also very windy outside. A sparrow was blown by the wind and crashed against the window. It fainted and landed on the AC unit outside, then…”

“Ta-dah~~~ I saved it.” Xiao Qin held up a victory sign with her fingers as she showed it off to me, “I’m very caring since I protected the sparrow from the winds. Am I cuter than before because of my compa.s.sion?”

“(*^__^*) Hehe… I hope it’s windy every day. Then sparrows would hit the windows and I could cherish them everyday and became a gentle animal protectionist…”

What kind of animal protectionist is that? What kind of animal protectionist looks forward to animals having bad luck?

The chubby sparrow in the birdcage looked at me with pleading eyes as if it wanted to say: My injuries are better, but she’s still not letting me go.

“Xiao Qin, did you feed the sparrow?”

“Of course, I specially fed it ice cream, but it seemed like it didn’t really like it.” Xiao Qin frowned, “Is it because the ice cream was Nestle and sparrows don’t eat their own nests?”

Who in their right minds feeds sparrows ice cream? Did you feed the sparrow ice cream because your stomach hurts and you can’t eat it? I can’t believe you fed it ice cream when it’s already so fat. If it can’t find a boy (girl) friend, then you have to take responsibility.

“Ice cream won’t work. If it’s a bird, it should like to eat caterpillars or beetles…”

“Stop it!” Xiao Qin protested, “Why are you bringing that up when you know I’m afraid of bugs. You’ve always loved to scare me with bugs since we were kids. You should learn from me and become a caring person who loves animals…”

“How could you be so shameless.” I said angrily, “When we were kids, you were the one who dropped caterpillars and stag beetles down my shirt.”

Xiao Qin paused for a while as if she was lost in the memories of the past.

“I think I have done it before, but how’s that possible? I’m so afraid of bugs right now, I don’t even want to say its name… you must have remembered wrong.”

“You’re the one who’s denying your dark past! The reason why you’re afraid of bugs right now is because you read too many shoujo manga. You saw a lot of the female protagonists were afraid of bugs, so you’ve hypnotized yourself that you’re also afraid of bugs. Don’t tell me you’ve also hypnotized yourself to believe you’ve never bullied me when we were kids?”

Xiao Qin lowered her head and apologized: “It’s wrong to hypnotize yourself to forget the past. I’ve done many wrong things to Ye Lin cla.s.smate in the past. I’m sorry for always performing harmless pranks on you in the past…”

You’ve already began to forget the past! Is kicking me into a river considered harmless when I can’t swim? My clothes were all wet when I woke up on the sh.o.r.e, my entire body was freezing… wait, were you the one who saved me? I always thought it was a courageous pa.s.serby who saved me, but I don’t think there were many people by the river at the time…

“Hey, were you the one who saved me after you kicked me into the river?”

Xiao Qin lowered her head: “No need for thanks, it’s what I should have done.”

“Who was going to thank you? A life would have been lost if you didn’t save me! I’m saying don’t forget your evil past and do some self-reflection and repent at least once a day.”

Xiao Qin pinched the lace hem of her blouse, raised her eyes upward, then said with unease and expectation:

“If you’re willing to listen to me repent every day, then I don’t mind even repenting multiple times a day. I’ll keep saying I’m sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, until you’re satisfied.”

If Auntie Ren found out I forced her daughter to repent daily, she would send me to the hospital.

“Forget it. As long as you don’t bring up your dark past as the Little Tyrant, then I won’t mention it anymore either. The sparrow already looks fine and it’s not windy outside, so let’s let it go.”

As if to affirm my words, the sparrow chirped and jumped around in the bird cage, expressing it was in excellent condition.

“But I haven’t finished giving it my love yet.” Xiao Qin held the bird cage in her arms with some reluctance as if it was a valuable jewelry box.

“If you keep giving it your love, the sparrow will be fed to death with ice cream. Open the window now and let the sparrow go, or I won’t think you’re cute anymore.”

“Okay then…” Xiao Qin pouted and tried to open the window. I don’t know if she was affected by menstrual cramps or deliberately pretended to be weak, but she struggled to open the window and I ended up opening it for her.

Xiao Qin opened the cage and pointed the cage door towards the window. The plump sparrow had already grown impatient and flew out without an ounce of hesitance.

At that moment, Xiao Qin’s body moved slightly, as if she was prepared to chase after it, but she endured it in front of me.

She finally cleared her throat and opened her mouth to shout at the sparrow that was flying away.

I thought she was going to say something like “don’t hit the window next time”, but I didn’t expect Xiao Qin to shout:

“Remember to come back to repay the favor.”

I’m not sure if it was because she was too loud and scared the sparrow, or if the sparrow had a high IQ and understood her shocking words. It wasn’t able to fly properly and fell headfirst towards the ground. Fortunately, it was able to control itself at around the 2nd floor and it fluttered away.

“How would a sparrow repay the favor?” I asked Xiao Qin after I shut the window.

“j.a.pan has the crane returns the favor, China has the snail girl, so I don’t think it’s impossible for a sparrow to return the favor…”

I thought it was childish for the 14 year old Xiao Qin to still believe these stories, but I didn’t really say much. It’s not like I can instantly make her as mature as me.

It was lunchtime and I found out Xiao Qin’s home has a lot of frozen dumplings. I helped Xiao Qin boil a pot and we both ate them for lunch.

Xiao Qin didn’t have much of an appet.i.te, so I ate over two-thirds of the dumplings, I hope Auntie Ren won’t realize it. To be honest, I feel a bit guilty secretly visiting Xiao Qin behind Auntie Ren’s back. Although I only came to take care of Xiao Qin, I wasn’t planning on taking anything important from her…

Although Xiao Qin has been protecting what was important to her, I have ownership right. It might not belong to me now, but it will eventually belong to me.

Don’t get the wrong idea, of course I’m talking about Optimus Prime. I admit I have thought about searching for where Xiao Qin hid Optimus Prime, but I soon let it go once I remembered how much Xiao Qin cried the last time I asked her to return him to me.

I didn’t come to take care of Xiao Qin because she had Optimus Prime. I cam to take responsibility as the cause of her pain along with my responsibility as her future brother-in-law. If our parents got married, then we would have to live together. Xiao Qin’s home would be my home, so it would be simple to get Optimus Prime back when the time comes.

Xiao Qin asked if I could play Xbox with her after dinner. I would never refuse such a masculine form of entertainment.

We were going to play more rounds of Street Fighter IV. Xiao Qin wasn’t as good today and lose to me right away. I suspected she was purposely losing to me to show she was a girl and not good at fighting games.

“Try a bit more. What’s the point if I win when you’re not even trying.”

“I’m sorry…” Xiao Qin apologized, “My stomach hurts, so I can’t try too hard. It can’t be helped if Ye Lin cla.s.smate doesn’t feel any pleasure from ravaging me…”

Stop, Auntie Ren is going to break my legs if she heard that! I’m ravaging your character, not you!

Later, it feels like Xiao Qin got a bit better and we both had wins, but it feels like she wasn’t giving it her best.

In order to make Xiao Qin go all out, I stepped up my attack. I comboed the character controlled by Xiao Qin, “Cammy”, who still had most of her HP left, to death to show that I didn’t need Xiao Qin to go easy on me.

I learned this combo from Winnie at the mall and finally put it to use today.

Xiao Qin realized that I wouldn’t be satisfied with her letting me win, so she changed a character and her attacks became stronger. I also went all out and the screen was filled with punches and kicks. Xiao Qin and I were both shouting and absorbed into the match just like a pair of good gaming friends.

I was having a blast until Xiao Qin suddenly put the controller down and her character was instantly killed by me.

“Hey, why aren’t you moving? The defense you put up earlier was impressive. I think you might even be better than Winnie…”

Xiao Qin lowered her head and whispered: “Sorry, I pressed the controls too hard earlier and my own defenses got broken through…”

“What, what do you mean your own defenses?”

“Um, I mean I need to change my menstrual pad…”

I was shocked and didn’t realize it would happen. I was too careless, there was a reason Xiao Qin couldn’t go all out.

I suddenly received a text from Director Cao while Xiao Qin was in the washroom.

“Xiao Ye Zi, we’re golden! The reputation of b.l.o.o.d.y Battle of Jin Lin is slowly going up and Jin Ling Young Thug even became the figurehead for the stop the cars to save the dogs event.”

He’s a villain who would set fires and murder people in cold blood, so how could he become the figurehead? Are the volunteers becoming more extreme and plan to set fires and kill people?
