Chapter 564: Philanthropy

“My ear, what’s wrong with my ears?” The class leader didn’t understand.

She touched her two human ears and didn’t feel any differences from usual.

It wasn’t until she looked in the small mirror above the shoe cabinet that she noticed two additional things on her head that humans shouldn’t have.

“What… is this?”

The class leader turned pale as she thought of the previous group of employees who were gazing at her. She was so ashamed and angry that she ripped the cat ears off her and threw it on the ground which caused it to snap in half.

Shu Zhe and I looked at each other. I felt regretful that the class leader’s cat ears were gone, but Shu Zhe was probably in pain because of the money he spent to buy the cat ears.

She was angry, but the class leader couldn’t bear to see the headpiece, that was now garbage, lying on the floor of her own home, so she bent down to pick up the remains and toss it into the trash.

When she returned, she was twice as angry as before.

“Tell me.” The class leader slapped the dining table, “Who put these cat ears on me?”

I pointed at Shu Zhe: “Your brother bought them. They were already on you when I arrived.”

Shu Zhe pointed at me at the same time: “It was brother Ye Lin who did it. He said something about ‘better flavor with cat ears’, what a pervert.”

Seeing the two of us accuse each other, the class leader narrowed her eyes and first gazed at me, then at her brother.

Suddenly there was another knock on the front door.

“Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.”

“I’m here to check the water meter…”

The squad leader was furious and twirled her body around like a female god of war. Her eyes were spewing fire as she shouted outside.

“Someone just came by yesterday to check the water meter, there’s nothing to check here!”

The crestfallen inspector (male) then quietly left.

He must have heard about it from the other employees and also wanted to check out the cat-ear beauty. I believe in the near future, the class leader will get constant visits from gas, water, or community inspectors, using any means possible to get a look at her in cat ears.

The class leader isn’t an idiot. I might be able to trick her for a while, but not forever, so I decided to admit my mistake and confess.

I raised my hand as if I was in class and replied, “Class leader, I did it, I put the cat ears that Shu Zhe bought on your head. I just couldn’t resist playing a prank on you…”

Shu Zhe was not mentally prepared when I suddenly confessed. He had a momentary loss for words because he was originally planning to keep wrangling with me.

“Why, why did you make me wear cat ears?” The class leader looked at me with suspicion. The class leader was also quite concerned about the fact that Shu Zhe didn’t deny he was the one who bought the cat ears.

I said honestly: “I was just curious and thought you would look cute with cat ears~~”

The word “cute” seemed to hit a soft spot in the class leader’s heart. Although she seemed both embarrassed and angry, her embarrassment had overtaken her anger.

If I was stubborn to the end and kept pushing the blame to Shu Zhe, the class leader never would have forgave me. Now that I admitted it, the class leader couldn’t really think of a way to reprimand me.

“Xiao Zhe.” In order to cover up her embarrassment, the class leader turned to her brother and asked, “Did Ye Lin force you to buy those cat ears?”

I smiled frankly and said, “I don’t need to force him to buy it, my family sells it. Shu Zhe purchased it elsewhere out of his own interest.”

Shu Zhe didn’t even have time to refute and could only stare me.

He certainly won’t expect my next words to help him/

“But it can’t all be blamed on Shu Zhe. The reason why Shu Zhe started all this was for charity.”

“Charity?”

The class leader widened her eyes in disbelief.

“Yeah.” I patted my thigh and said, “Shu Zhe acted as a rope… model where a portion of him payments gets donated to children in need. If you don’t believe me, you can go to my family’s online store and check one of the goods, the kiss mark balloons, in the product description it states that one-fifth of the profits will go to charity.”

Shu Zhe caught on quickly as he immediately understood my intentions. He was much more clever than Gong CaiCai in this aspect.

“I… got addicted to doing good things and only wanted to donate more money…”

How shameless. I remember when I told you I was taking a bit of the profits to donate to a school and you acted like I was going to cut off your flesh.

“Stop trying to trick me.”

The class leader walked into Shu Zhe’s bedroom, the laptop on the desk was in sleep mode. After she booted up the computer, the class leader looked up my family’s online store and began to search for the item I mentioned.

My dad was more diligent these days, the home page was updated with a lot of special discounted products. It was full of a large variety of male and female toys, which made the class leader’s cheeks turn scarlet.

In a short time, the class leader quickly found the balloons at the bottom of the store. The product photo was Shu Zhe dressed as a female and blowing a red balloon seductively. In the product description, there was indeed a line that said something like “part of the profits of this product will be donated to charity”.

“So what?” The class leader knocked the table and asked, “How do I know if you actually donated it to a charity? How much is a ‘part of the profit’, a cent?”

I was thankful that the class leader didn’t continue to look at the customer comments at the bottom of the page. It probably included ones like “the taste of her mouth is so sweet taste” or “I’m having an indirect kiss with the model”.

I expected the class leader would not be easily convinced, so I had already entered another URL into the browser. It was to a site that Peng TouSi had told me about, the donation page of the Dong Shan Special Education School. The page listed the details of how the donation were used along with a list of names of the donors.

Needless to say, the one at the top was Peng Peng, a nickname habitually used by Peng TouSi, who donated half of his salary every month and had accumulated a remarkable amount.

At the bottom of the first page were donations from me, Xiong YaoYue, and Shu Zhe, respectively.

Xiong YaoYue’s donation were the “small favors” she got from Ai Mi. She felt she would be a bad person if she didn’t donate some money after earning it so easily. Apparently she got seven consecutive deaths in LOL or something, so she entrusted me to donate most of the money for her.

Shu Zhe and I had very close donation amounts since they were taken out of the profits of the same products.

“What, even Xiao Xiong donated this much?”

The class leader still wasn’t used to calling Xiong YaoYue, Winnie.

“Yeah.” I dragged out my voice, “Winnie has a rich friend and got a lot of money. She didn’t feel good with that much money, so she entrusted me to help her donate a large part of… about 95% of it.”

The class leader was still skeptical, “It’s easy to make a fake website, I have to give Xiao Xiong a call to verify.”

“Go ahead.” I generously lent my phone to the class leader to use.

I watched the class leader dial Xiong YaoYue’s number and then put the phone next to her ear. I suddenly remembered in an untimely manner: the phone was once in Xiong YaoYue’s underwear and it was stained with an unknown liquid.

“Hello, is this Xiao Xiong?” The class leader asked quickly, not knowing if she was trying to help me save phone bill costs.

“I said don’t call me Xiao Xiong, call me Winnie.” Xiong YaoYue shouted, “Huh, class leader, why are you using Ye Lin’s phone, are you guys together right now?”

“If you want to be called Winnie, then I’ll call you Winnie.” The class leader sighed, “I have something to ask you, please answer me honestly…”

“Not good!” Xiong YaoYue shouted in the midst of a barrage of keyboard taps, “We’re being attacked, this is bad. Class leader, call back later, I can’t be distracted right now…”

Then she hung up. When the class leader called again, no one picked up.

Damn, Xiong YaoYue, don’t get too addicted to LOL. I heard she had already organized a team, so was she doing training with them? I only needed her to verify with the class leader and then she would believe me.

The class leader returned the phone to me and didn’t say anything, as if she was waiting for me to provide proof.

“Fine.” I waved my hand, “Since you refuse to believe us, I’ll simply take you on a trip to the special education school. I mean they even encourage donors to visit, then you should know that we didn’t fake it.”

Shu Zhe also nodded, but when he went to the bathroom, he quietly asked me.

“Brother Ye Lin, the school actually exists? I thought it was something you made up to embezzle my share of the money.”

“Hmph, a knave thinks of others in terms of his own desires. It’s noon now, so you should order some take-out for everyone to eat, then I’ll contact the special education school to see what’s a convenient way to reach there.”

Shu Zhe subconsciously held out his hand to me: “Then, the money for the take-out…”

I slapped the back of his hand and made him grimace in pain.

“Stop always thinking about money. Now’s the time for you to put on a good performance, since your sister’s still angry.”

In the end, the lunch still wasn’t paid by Shu Zhe.

Rather, although the class leader was still angry, she still warmed up the leftovers from breakfast for us to eat.

Ah, I was in tears, the shredded pork stir fry was a hundred times better than what my dad made last night.

After the meal, I contacted the young principal of the special education school. He had a very good memory, even though I had only been there once with Peng TouSi, he actually managed to remember my voice.

“You’re welcome to bring your classmates over for a visit. It just so happens that I have another guest here. You can take the route 23 bus and get off at Cui Song Shan stop, it’s easy to find our school from there.”
