Chapter 526 – What’s Yours Is Mines
“You said you brought the knife with you?”
The class leader’s dark pupils flashed with suspicion.
“(@﹏@)~It’s true, believe me. I took it out of my mother’s cabinet, if it was confiscated, I wouldn’t be able to explain to my mother.”
The class leader thought about it, since she knew Xiao Qin’s mother was an MMA champion, it wasn’t odd for Xiao Qin to like martial arts, so she believed it.
“Let’s not talk about how it’s a prohibited item at school, but how can a girl carry a knife around with her.”
Sometimes I felt like Shu Sha was the teacher in charge of class 2-3.
“Um...” Xiao Qin hesitated, “I have to defend myself since it’s so chaotic outside. What if the principal called me to go with him to a hotel or something...”
The class leader felt awkward hearing Xiao Qin talk about this topic, especially in front of me.
“Our principal won’t do that.”
Theoretically, the class leader is correct. The old principal who’s nearing retirement is always muddled and occasionally likes to joke around, but will never overstep his bounds with students. The vice principal was bent on getting to the top and was extremely rigid. He would love if every student in 28 Middle turned into monks. Basically, neither of them are deranged enough to book a hotel room with a middle school student.
“Class leave, even if it’s safe at school, I can still meet scum, bullies, or gangsters on my way home from school, so I need something to protect myself.”
The class leader half narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice.
“If you want to defend yourself, you don’t need a knife at all, right?”
“Yeah... hehehe...” Xiao Qin, who was seen by the class leader using martial arts, could only laugh foolishly.
“Since I was exposed, I have to tell the truth, actually...”
Xiao Qin gave me a weird look.
“Actually, I stole the Swiss army knife as a gift for Ye Lin classmate, because he has always liked knives...”
That statement was obviously more credible, because the class leader nodded along while listening.
“But it was like Ye Lin classmate was possessed once he got the knife. He began cutting the desk and I couldn’t stop him.”
Xiao Qin made an expression as if to say “I was worried about him”.
“Not only did Ye Lin classmate scratch the desks, he also threatened he would stab anyone who doesn’t listen to him. He would also cut the face of any girl who doesn’t accept his requests...”
According to you, I would be the scum or hooligan you need to guard against, right?
“I was kind enough to give him a gift, but didn’t think he would us it that way. I was worrying about how to take it back, but it’s a good thing you came over. Class leader, please help me get my knife back, so he wouldn’t use the knife to do anything bad anymore.”
Xiao Qin’s words were earnest and her expression was lively which made the class leader feel very sympathetic towards her.
“Ye Lin, have you heard that saying before.”
“Which saying?”
“Money doesn’t change a person’s nature, but only makes a person’s strengths and weaknesses become more apparent.”
“Who said that, but I don’t think it has anything to do with my knife.”
“Class leader, class leader.” Xiao Qin interjected, “Look at how Ye Lin classmate always say it’s his knife, he must not want to return it to me.”
The class leader continued, “There’s also an old saying that goes ‘a person with a weapon will have thoughts of killing’. Ye Lin, you already had a tendency towards violence, so you’re not fit to have the knife.”
The class leader ordered with a non-negotiable tone, “Return the knife back to Xiao Qin and tell her to hurry up and take it home, and there better not be a next time.”
I wanted to defend myself, but on second thought, I realized Xiao Qin only told so many lies to help me prevent the Swiss Army knife from being confiscated.
So I retracted the blade dejectedly and reluctantly handed it to Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin took the blade happily and put it into her own bag.
“Make sure to put the knife away properly and don’t take it out at school. Bring it home quickly after school, okay?”
“Mm, mm.” Xiao Qin nodded her head at the class leader’s instructions.
The class leader returned to her seat when the bell rang.
I waited for half the class until I felt it was safe. While the biology teacher was talking about the “racist” customs of the kangaroo colony, I said to Xiao Qin:
“Hey, can I have my knife back now?”
“What?” Xiao Qin held her textbook in a disciplined manner and pretended she didn’t hear me well.
“Knife, give me back my Swiss Army knife.” I repeated a little impatiently.
“Ye Lin classmate’s words are so strange.” Xiao Qin muttered, “It’s obviously my knife.”
“The class leader isn’t here, so you don’t have to act anymore.”
“I wasn’t acting, it was originally my knife. I wanted to give it to Ye Lin classmate as a gift, but you used it to do bad things, so I had to take it back. Let me think... I’ll put it together with brother Optimus Prime.”
So that’s your plan! You always take the things I like away from me. Do you think you can have my heart just because you have my treasures?
I couldn’t make too much of a move during class, so I endured until the end of class, before continuing to ask Xiao Qin for my knife.
“Give my knife...” Xiao Qin jumped up and ran towards the back of the classroom before I even finished my sentence.
Huh, I thought she would have stopped me, but she gave up so easily. Did she rush to the washroom because of her menstrual pain?
So I bluntly sat down on Xiao Qin’s chair and began to go through her bag. I remembered that the knife was hidden at the bottom of the bag.
“Ye Lin, what are you doing?”
The class leader’s angry voice rang by my ears.
I raised my head and saw the class leader’s angry face. Next to her was Xiao Qin, who was putting on an act.
So Xiao Qin didn’t run out of the classroom, she went to tell on me. She had a “the class leader will back me up” look on her face.
“Going through a girl’s bag, do you have any shame?” The class leader had an acerbic tone, probably because she thought that Xiao Qin, who was still in her menstrual period, might have some private items in her bag.
“I, I just want my knife back.” I explained with a red face.
“Class leader, I’m not wrong, right? Ye Lin classmate still says that the knife is his.” Xiao Qin pouted and slandered me from behind the class president.
I was furious, “It was mines originally.”
“Is that so?” The class leader said coldly, “I was only lenient because the knife was Xiao Qin’s. If it’s yours, then I have to confiscate it now.”
She said as she stuck her hand out, “Give it to me.”
Give it my ass, I didn’t even find it yet. I thought Xiao Qqin was covering for me out of good intentions, but I didn’t think it was to embezzle my personal property. She managed to trick the class leader and put me in a difficult position.
“I, I’m not looking for the knife. I wanted to go to the bathroom and I’m just checking if Xiao Qin had any tissues in her bag.”
I said a sentence in embarrassment and headed to the washroom.
“If Ye Lin comes to you again and asks for the knife, come tell me and I’ll help you.”
I heard the voice of the class leader and Xiao Qin from behind me.
“Thank you, I knew the class leader is the best. I was willing to give the knife to Ye Lin classmate, but he went crazy when he got the knife...”
Don’t pretend to be a good person, you’re the one who’s crazy! You’re trying to take away the things I like just like with brother Optimus Prime. You’re a demon, a fiend!
In the next few classes, I found a slot where both Xiao Qin and the class leader were away and went through Xiao Qin’s bag inside and out. I didn’t find anything but a few ultra-thin sanitary napkins, the Swiss army knife must have been hidden somewhere or she was carrying it with her.
When school was over, I couldn’t resist and asked her directly.
“Where did you hide the army knife.”
“Hey, it’s a~ secret.” Xiao Qin replied joyfully.
“You’re carrying it with you, aren’t you?” I looked Xiao Qin up and down and tried to guess her hiding place.
“Stop~ looking at me with those lecherous eyes~~~” Xiao Qin giggled, “If you want to know where the knife is hidden, why don’t you just search me? Hint: it’s hidden in an unexpected place.”
Hmph, do you think I’m afraid to do a body search? Compared to almost crossing the line with you before, a body search is simple. Let’s see first if it’s on your waist...
I never expected Xiao Qin to scream out ‘Yah’ in the middle of a self study session right when I touched her waist.
The whole class turned in shock to look towards Xiao Qin and me, and they all saw me withdraw my hands.
“It looks like Ye Lin still didn’t chance. My impression of him got slightly better after he led the basketball team to victory, but didn’t expect so soon...”
“Touching a female classmate during class, I think that’s going overboard even if you’re childhood friends...”
I was inevitably glared at again by the class leader.
I had to wait until the end of the school day, but the class leader protected Xiao Qin from me as if I would rob Xiao Qin of her knife when I got a chance.
If there really was a chance... of course I would grab it, otherwise it will disappear like brother Optimus Prime with no hopes of returning!
After watching the class leader head to the bike shed, I waited a while before running towards the same subway station Xiao Qin was heading to.
Give me back my army knife! I’m not going to allow you to increase your collection. I must intercept you before you reach the subway station and take back what’s mines!
