Chapter 482 – Pirate Captain

The class leader was waiting patiently the entire time as I set the steaming bowl of noodles down on the dinner table. She felt embarrassed by sitting there the whole time since I accompanied her home and also cooked for her.

But the traces of tears on the class leader’s face had disappeared after she washed her face. There was still a bit of grief in her eyes, but that would take time to deal with.

“Eat slowly, don’t get burned.” I said to the class leader while feeling a bit lacking in confidence of the taste of the noodles.

I’m not sure if the class leader was being polite or if she was really hungry, but she wasn’t picky about the noodles. She first ate the egg, then began slurping up the noodles.

I felt proud the chef of class 2-3 was satisfied with my cooking even if I knew the main reason was because she was hungry.

I wasn’t hungry at all and I sat across from the class leader, where Shu Zhe usually sits. I watched the class leader eat and it kind of felt like I was feeding a dog or a cat, but I couldn’t say that out loud.

The class leader felt awkward after being stared at.

“Ye Lin, you’re noodles are pretty good, but can you stop staring at me? Can you go watch TV?”

As I was watching an NBA shooting compilation on TV, the class leader quickly finished her meal. It felt like the class leader ate three times faster when I wasn’t watching her.

“Thanks. I’m full.”

It felt odd having the owner of the house showing gratitude to a house guest.

The class leader asked if I wanted to stay a bit longer, she invited me into her bedroom. I’ve never been inside her room, but I suppressed my curiosity and said:

“I’m not going to bother you anymore today. I heard you finished all your homework during self-study time and headed straight to the pet hospital after school. Does that mean you can wash up and head straight to bed?”

The class leader nodded.

“Then get some rest. I’m waiting for you to cheer me on in tomorrow morning’s basketball match, and the volleyball game in the afternoon is also depending on you. You might drop the ball tomorrow if you don’t get enough rest.”

I picked up the leftover dishes, carried it to the kitchen and began washing it in the sink.

“Ye Lin, what are you doing? I can wash my own bowls.”

The class leader tried to stop me since she was already embarrassed I had to cook for her.

“It’s no problem, I frequently wash the dishes at home.” I said as I squeezed out some dish soap, “A girl like you who has OCD definitely won’t leave the bowls for tomorrow. Shu Zhe is too lazy, so he wouldn’t help you. I’ll wash the bowls so you can get some rest earlier.”

The class leader stood by the kitchen sliding doors silently.

“Go to sleep right after I leave and don’t think about anything else in bed, okay?”

Of course, it wasn’t possible to have the class leader cheer up right away. It would be best if she could fall asleep without crying.

I put the washed bowls back in the cupboards and went to the washroom to clean up. After I came out, I realized the class leader was adjusting the bowls I had put into the cupboard as it was slightly slanted. She blushed when she noticed I saw her OCD actions and was a bit uncomfortable.

If it was like usual, I would have used it to joker around, but not today. I silently changed into my shoes and told the class leader I was heading home.

“Be careful on the way back.” The class leader then paused a bit and said quietly, “Thank you for talking with me today, I’m not as sad anymore.”

The class leader might have said it wasn’t a big deal anymore, but unexpectedly, she didn’t come to class the next morning.

The class leader was absent for the first class of the day. It was an extremely strange occurrence for someone like the class leader who always followed time.

All our classmates began discussing it among themselves.

“What happened? I never heard her ask the teacher for a break, why did she suddenly skip class?”

“No, the class leader would never skip class, at most she would be late. Actually, even being late is out of the ordinary, is today the end of the world?”

I was thinking the class leader might be sick.

Her body was weak after crying and it also rained yesterday.

I might have been holding a large umbrella and tried to cover the class leader as much as possible, but she still could have gotten sick from the cold winds.

To be honest, I also had a bit of a headache when I woke up today morning, maybe it’s because I got soaked yesterday. But a Spartan’s body isn’t just for show, I was able to endure it and I’m already at my top state.

The class leader didn’t come for the second class either. As I was worried if the class leader would miss the basketball match, the class leader leisurely walked in the classroom from the back entrance and sat in her seat at the end of the second class.

The noisy classroom instantly turned silent.

Everyone turned around to look at the class leader. It was quiet for 5 or 6 seconds before a laughter erupted through the class.

Xiong YaoYue was laughing especially loud. She pointed at the class leader’s face and said:

“Haha…. that’s hilarious. What are doing, when did you become a pirate captain?”

Xiong YaoYue’s comparison was quite appropriate.

The class leader was wearing the school uniform on the top and the school sports shorts on the bottom, but there was something on her face that couldn’t be ignored.

She had an eye patch covering her left eye.

It was a normal medical eye patch, the white and blue ones that kids would wear.

If it was someone who watched anime, the first thing they would think of would be the protagonist of ‘Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!’.

Teacher Yu, who was attracted by the laughter, also laughed a bit when he saw the class leader’s appearance. He asked:

“Shu Sha, what’s wrong with your eye?”

The class leader answered in embarrassment, “I had a slight bacterial infection. I was late because I went to the clinic to get it treated this morning.”

It was different than what I thought. The class leader was sick, but I never thought it would be an eye sickness. That’s why you shouldn’t have used your dust covered fingers to rub your eyes.

The girls who didn’t know the truth surrounded the class leader and all began a conversation with her.

“Class leader, does your eye hurt?”

“It was a bit more serious when I woke up, but much better after I applied some medicine.” The class leader replied.

“Class leader, do you want a parrot?” Xiong YaoYue asked, “Since you’re a pirate captain now, I can borrow my uncle’s parrot and make your cosplay a bit more realistic.”

“You only know how to joke around.” Loud Mouth said, “The class leader’s eye sickness hurts a lot. Be careful of karma and getting infected yourself.”

“I’m not afraid.” Xiong YaoYue joked, “I’m envious since I’ve never worn an eye patch.”

Xiong YaoYue said as she rubbed her face against the class leader’s face. Light brown with snow white skin coming into contact with each other created an enjoyable scene for the viewers.

A lot of guys all watched the scene, Eunuch Cao literally even drooled at the scene.

The class leader pushed Xiong YaoYue away and said seriously:

“Winnie, you still have time to fool around? Don’t you realize we’re in serious trouble for today afternoon’s volleyball match?”

Xiong YaoYue shifted her head and looked around: “What trouble?”

The class leader angrily pointed at her eye patch, “The trouble is right here, since I can’t open one eye anymore. It doesn’t affect me being able to play, but it would affect my senses and measuring distance. I can’t guarantee I would be able to play at my best today, so please stop joking around and try to think of a way we could make up for our shortcomings.”

Xiong YaoYue finally realized she was one of the victims of the class leader’s eye disease. She covered her head and knelt down on the ground and let out a shriek of despair: “NO~~~~~~~~”.

Xiao Qin acted as if the class leader was her nemesis.

“The… the class leader also knows how to act cute.”

“Based on my many years of experience of manga, wearing an eye patch is one of the top ways to sell your cuteness. Damn, does the class leader also want to act cute like me?”

Hey, how are you cute? It’s better to call you two-faced, and I still haven’t gotten you back for the time on Sunday when you forced He Ling to distract Niu ShiLi. Every time I mentioned it, Xiao Qin would change the topic to how I touched He Ling’s breasts. It was a complete accident, but you’re making me look like a pervert.

All kinds of accidents happened, but the class leader was still able to wear our class uniform and cheer for me during the basketball match. I felt moved every time I thought the class leader endured her eye pains and made sure to arrive on time for the match.

The volleyball match was in the afternoon, so our entire class was present at the basketball match. Of course, some of the girls was only there to watch Shen ShaoYi.

But Xiong YaoYue was not one of those girls. She was wearing the class uniform and cheered me on. She cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled:

“Ye Lin, don’t lose! You have to get revenge for last year and get rid of Shen ShaoYi.”

Shen ShaoYi, who had a red captain’s band around his arm, heard Xiong YaoYue cheer me on. He stayed silent as he stood across from me, but from his eyes it looked like he wanted to tear me apart.

The match began after the PE teacher, Li DaYong, blew the whistle.
