Chapter 497 – Can’t Hold My Liquor

Xiao Qin pondered over whether to have the date on Saturday or Sunday and whether we should go to an amusement park or the zoo. She weighed the pros and cons and I sat next to her everyday watching her bittersweet expression.

On Thursday, after the girl’s friendly volleyball match ended, the boys also beat the first grade champions. We didn’t want to bully our juniors too much, so I didn’t play, but we still won by a large margin.

The next day was the friendly basketball match between class 3-1 and our class. It was captain Guo SongTao’s class, so it’s not a joke and I have to reserve my strength.

I’ve already imagined before that if I beat their class, then I would ask the class leader to take a picture with me in her volleyball uniform. But I was too embarrassed to ask for it after I hugged the class leader for an entire night.

June was coming to an end. When I thought about the school beauty almost graduating and her wanting to have a final battle with the class leader, I realized: brother Tao was going to graduate too.

The melancholy enveloped my mind.

I was called on by the language teacher again since I was lost in thought.

“The saying ‘shaving to firm your convictions’ means to cut off all your hair as a lesson to remember your failures, thus a strong determination to succeed…. Ye Lin, tell me a equivalent expression for ‘shaving to firm your convictions’.”

I paused for a bit, then answered subconsciously: “Castration to practice the sword”.

The whole class laughed while old man Zhang scolded me with a smile: “Seeing as you have the determination to castrate yourself, you may sit down.”

Xiao Qin said with discontent: “Ye Lin classmate can’t castrate himself. He still has to have a lot of babies with me.”

I was still a bit distracted: June 25th ~ 27th was the high school entrance exams, all the third years including brother Tao will graduate… once the summer break is over, we will be the new third years…

Something that seemed to be far away was suddenly right in front of us.

The second half of my second year was the longest half I’ve experienced and I thought it would never end.

The friendly basketball match with class 3-1 was given other meanings, it might be a farewell game with brother Tao.

Not sure how I should describe the friendly match, but it was an empty game for me.

I didn’t have any thoughts of winning or losing. I only checked the score when the whistle blew to signify the end of the match.

60:42, we lost terribly but it was within expectations.

I was simply engrossed in the game and played for pure fun. It was my way of saying farewell.

I noticed Shen ShaoYi watching our game from the sidelines with a complex expression in his eyes.

That day after school, Liu HuaiShui came looking for me. He said brother Tao was about to graduate so the entire basketball team was hosting a farewell ceremony for brother Tao and two other third year students.

“What do you mean by farewell ceremony? You make it sound like it’s a funeral, but it’s just a farewell dinner party.”

“Only for the ones who are graduating, we’re not all separating. So are you coming or not?”

Of course I had to go.

Shen ShaoYi was also there, but he was seated far away from me and closer to brother Tao.

The atmosphere was warm at the dinner table, there might have been a bit of sorrow from parting ways, but that’s why we had to enjoy our time to the fullest to drown out the sorrow.

Oh, brother Tao also secretly ordered some beer for everyone. ‘No wine, no banquet’ was already a consensus among men.

When a lot of people started getting tipsy, brother Tao stood up and toasted everyone and thanked us for our support over the years. I couldn’t drink a lot and my legs already felt weak, so I toasted him while seated.

“Ye Lin, are you still not joining the basketball team in your third year?”

Brother Tao asked when we were both using the washroom

“No, I’m unorganized and undisciplined, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a good team member. Besides, if you’re not going to be the captain anymore…”

“The next captain is Shen ShaoYi.”

Brother Tao interrupted me.

I hesitated for a bit, “I think he’s probably the best choice.”

“Do you support him?” Brother Tao stared into my eyes.

I smiled unnaturally, “I’m not a team member, so he doesn’t need my support…”

“What, you’re not going to help the team practice anymore after I graduate?”

“Of course not, it’s just I’m worried Shen ShaoYi might not want to see me…”

After we left the washroom, Brother Tao patted my shoulder and said in a serious tone.

“Ye Lin, there’s an old saying: brothers are like your limbs, while women are like clothes…”

I made a bitter face to Brother Tao, “Didn’t Liu Bei say that?Aren’t you just trying to persuade me and Shen ShaoYi to reconcile? To be honest, everything that happened between us was a misunderstanding.”

Brother Tao was skeptical and said, “I also spoke to Shen ShaoYi: I told him there’s plenty of fish in the sea, but unfortunately he’s too stubborn and won’t listen. You’re birthday is earlier than his, so treat him as a younger brother, okay?”

I nodded in agreement, knowing full well that brother Tao was worried Shen ShaoYi and I will continue to clash because of Xiong YaoYue even after he graduates. So, he took used the farewell reception as an excuse to deliberately try and mediate between the two of us.

“I’m tired.”

Everyone around us forced Shen ShaoYi and I to drink, so Shen ShaoYi couldn’t refuse and drank a glass with me, then we both said the above line simultaneously.

I didn’t particularly understand what he meant, but looking at his tired eyes, he was probably feeling that teenage love was torture. Did you just realize? Girls are super troublesome, and trying to date them is about as hard as trying to form a friendship with aliens.

Brother Tao was about to graduate and the relationship between Shen ShaoYi and me was still uncertain. I still felt a bit sad even if I wasn’t gay, and I ended up drinking a few more glasses.

Then I got drunk.

I vaguely remember many people offered to take me home, but I was too proud and refused to let anyone take me home, so I said I was fine on my own.

So I staggered and stumbled back home.

It seems that I bumped into someone on the way, but I was drunk and only laughed. I was too tired and just wanted to go home and sleep.

I felt a bit more refreshed when I woke up. I looked up at the stains on the ceiling and wondered if they were the mosquitoes I killed two days ago.

I wanted to get up, but realized my left arm was really heavy, and it was completely numb.

I was shocked: did half my body suddenly become paralyzed at such an young age? I never would have drank if I knew earlier. I’m worried the restaurant sold us fake alcohol yesterday. How about the others, did they all get poisoned? It’s a shocking tragedy, the 28 Middle basketball team was completely wiped out.

Upon closer look, I breathed a long sigh of relief. My arm wasn’t numb because I was paralyzed, but because there was a girl sleeping on my arm in her underwear.

Scared me to death, I thought I had alcohol poisoning, but it turned out to be just…

Ehhhhhh, the situation is all wrong. I was clearly living home alone these days, so where did the girl come from?

I mustered up my courage and took a look at her face. Wait, isn’t this Xiao Qin? Her eyelashes was slightly quivering as she had a sweet expression and was sleeping soundly on my arm.

She was wearing a training bra on the upper half of her body. Her lower half was covered by a blanket, but I assume she was only wearing a pair of underwear.

The first thought that actually came to mind was to lift up the blankets and see what kind of underwear Xiao Qin was wearing. Damn, I’m a pervert, if I spend too much time with perverts, my mind also gets corrupted.

The most important thing was to remember how I get into bed with Xiao Qin.

Was Xiao Qin the one I bumped into last night, but why did I let her in? Why did I let her sleep in the same bed as me? Was Auntie Ren not worried when Xiao Qin didn’t ho home? Or did Xiao Qin already tell her mom she wasn’t going home for the night?

The sleeping Xiao Qin, was like a small animal that needs to be petted.

Xiao Qin’s hair was making me itch but I endured it.

No, I still can’t remember what happened last night.

My alcohol tolerance sucks, it’s even worse than my dads! I can’t even remember what I did after I got drunk!

The good thing is that according to other people, I seem to only laugh when I’m drunk and become a super nice guy, so I don’t think I did anything bad to Xiao Qin.

Last night, Xiao Qin who came to see me for some reason, saw me drunk and came up to talk to me. I must have talked to her with a smile and Xiao Qin must have found out I was particularly prone to agree to people’s requests when I was drunk, so she refused to let go of this perfect opportunity and asked me to let her spend the night at my house, and I agreed while drunk?

That’s the only request Xiao Qin made, right? I don’t think I could have violated Xiao Qin while I was drunk, at most, I would have hugged her for an entire night like what I did to the class leader.

Damn it, she took advantage of me while I was drunk! I’m in my underwear, did I take my own clothes off last night or did Xiao Qin do it?

Suddenly, my body stiffened and I was covered in cold sweat.

I found a really scary problem.

My ass hurts.

A lot of people have told jokes about a group of guys drinking then waking up the next day with unbearable pain in their ass.

I was definitely drunk last night and can’t remember what happened.

But I slept on he same bed as Xiao Qin! Even if I mistook her for a boy when I was a child, I’ve already confirmed through various methods Xiao Qin was indeed a girl!

Why does my ass hurt if I slept with a girl?

Can someone please tell me why?
