“That’s right, Lianbing, wait for me here for a moment. I’m going to find a handkerchief and use the restroom.”
Upon reaching the restroom door, I withdrew my hand from Lianbing’s chest. Lianbing tilted her head innocently and asked, “Do you really not need me to accompany you?”
I frowned and asked her, completely bewildered, “What do you want to come in for?”
“To accompany you to the toilet! Don’t you need someone to hold it for you when you pee, Juncheng? I feel it’s my duty as your girlfriend to take on that task.”
“I don’t have that kind of perverted habit, okay!”
“But that photo… Ah, could it be that your sister-in-law really does that for you? I thought it was just a malicious edit by the maid, I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Shut up! Don’t mention that photo again!”
Being photographed like that was simply the biggest dark history of my life! Especially now that this dark history was in the hands of the worst kind of person, forcing me to yield to her humiliatingly…
It was so frustrating! So frustrating that I felt uncomfortable all over!
I just hope I don’t catch you in the act! Otherwise, I will definitely toy with you inside and out!
Perhaps seeing that I was about to explode, Lianbing stopped and no longer provoked me.
“Heh heh heh, then I’ll go back and wait for you.”
Looking at her innocent expression, I felt drained, with nowhere to vent my frustration, and felt extremely depressed.
“Why did you follow me here…”
“I was afraid you’d be lonely~”
Lianbing blinked and didn’t answer my question, but suddenly hugged me from the front, rubbing her cheek against my chest.
“Come back quickly, every second you’re away from me, I feel like my heart is being pricked by a needle~”
Oh, your heart must be riddled with holes by now.
I pressed her shoulders, pulled her away, and replied “Got it” before entering the restroom. Lianbing waved at me and turned back to the classroom.
“Haaaa…”
Looking in the mirror at the sink, I couldn’t help but sigh again.
It seemed like the number of times I sighed had noticeably increased recently. It must be because I have pent-up frustration that I can’t vent.
Every time, the initiative in the conversation is on her side. Every time, she finds new ways to tease me. If this continues, she’ll toy with me until I don’t even know how I died.
It seems I need to be a bit more assertive starting next time.
It’s all my fault for being naturally passive and having little experience interacting with girls before. I always lowered my stance when dealing with my younger sisters… That’s why I’ve become so weak now!
Yes, that’s right!
I need to become more assertive!
Take the initiative in conversations!
I splashed cold water on my cheeks, making a firm resolution. Starting next time, I can’t be so passive anymore. I need to start making changes!
I looked around the sink but couldn’t find my handkerchief. It seemed someone had already taken it.
Ah… it’s really gone. Two classes have already passed, so it’s normal for someone to have picked it up and for it to be unrecoverable.
But it still had Lianbing’s saliva on it… The thought of someone using it to wipe their hands…
I felt uncomfortable.
Hmm? Why am I having this feeling?
Could it be that I’ve actually fallen for her?
Am I the one whose heart has been turned into a sieve?
My mood became complicated…
I was already depressed, and realizing this made me even more so… I felt like if I admitted I liked Ji Lianbing, I would have lost to that guy in every aspect.
I shook my head, clearing my jumbled thoughts, and walked into the toilet, unbuckling my belt in front of the urinal.
Just then, my shoulder was grabbed by someone. A voice with ill intentions came from behind me:
“You’re Juncheng An, right?”
The person forcefully pulled my shoulder, making me turn around. However, this was precisely when I was about to release the liquid in my bladder, and as a result…
“Damn it!!! What did you do! My pants! Ahhhh! They’re so dirty!”
I awkwardly twisted my body, quickly finished what I had to do, and said to him while pulling up my pants.
“Uh… sorry… no, it’s not my fault. Who asked you to grab me while I was peeing.”
“You bastard! You’ve got some nerve… Huh?!”
“…”
This guy is really unreasonable… Wait, looking closely, isn’t this Meng Fa from our class?
His hair was dyed brown, with a punk-like hairstyle. He was adorned with earrings, necklaces, and rings, giving him a frivolous and untrustworthy impression.
“What’s with that look! Are you looking down on me!”
Uh… even if you glare at me, I won’t immediately tremble in fear. I’m not a small animal, how can I be frightened by a threatening look.
Besides, this feigned intimidating expression is nothing compared to Lianbing’s naturally displayed ‘killing smile’.
Having this comparison, I realized that I’m usually in such a dangerous situation, aren’t I?
“What are you spacing out for, kid! Look over here!”
“Oh, sorry.”
Being called out, I came back to my senses and looked at the punk youth blankly.
I remember his title was [Magic Master]. Could he really use magic?
“In any case, what do you want with me?”
He raised an eyebrow and asked me.
“I’m talking about Ji Lianbing. You must understand, right?”
“Haa…”
Although I had anticipated this plotline, I didn’t expect it to happen in the restroom, and in such a melodramatic situation…
“What do you mean, you brat!”
He probably thought my sigh meant I was looking down on him.
I thought these cliché plotlines only appeared in manga, but I didn’t expect there to be people like this in reality.
The next development should be him threatening me, saying something like ‘Leave Ji Lianbing,’ ‘Someone like you shouldn’t be by her side,’ ‘If you know what’s good for you, get lost immediately.’
However, the development was completely different from what I imagined.
“Don’t think you’ve become a winner in life just because you have a girlfriend! You bastard! I’m telling you, you’ll be dumped sooner or later!”
“Ah…?”
I frowned deeply, not understanding why this person suddenly blurted that out.
“I originally wanted to politely ask for your advice, but now you’ve peed all over me… you have to compensate me!”
“Excuse me, but you peed on me because of your own doing.”
“I don’t care! You have to compensate me anyway!”
Are you a child!
“I’m a magnanimous person and won’t ask for any compensation, just tell me the secret to attracting women!”
So that’s what it is…
It seems the title “Magic Master” was just mocking him for being a virgin. This guy just saw that I’m dating Ji Lianbing and mistakenly thought I possessed some skill to attract women.
However, I don’t have those skills that typical H-game protagonists have.
“I don’t know any secret to being popular.”
Meng Fa excitedly shook my collar, spraying saliva on my face.
“Stop lying! I’ve been observing you since last Friday. Since Ji Lianbing confessed to you, you’ve received attention from several girls. You clearly have the protagonist’s halo of a harem protagonist! You suddenly became so popular, there must be a secret! Tell me quickly, did you make some unspeakable deal? Or did you use some forbidden method?”
What is all this… Attention from several girls? I didn’t notice anything at all?
Did I suddenly become popular?
Ah, right. It must be that magic circle that entered my head working.
He shouldn’t be looking for me, he should go find Lily.
“I think Teacher Yang at the library can help you.”
“Don’t try to dismiss me so easily. What can that woman help me with!”
I turned my head to the side, wiped the saliva off my face, and replied helplessly.
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do… I really don’t know anything.”
“This is not magic! Then how did you become popular! I’m clearly much more handsome than you, yet you, an unremarkable kid, are more popular than me. Why!”
This guy is quite narcissistic! Speaking of which, you actually think you’re handsome? I think your style already drags you down to barely passing. There are no girls nowadays who like the punk style, unless they’re also crazy.
“Forget it. Since you won’t tell me, I’ll check it myself! Don’t move!”
“Uh?”
Meng Fa suddenly reached out his large palm and pressed it on the top of my head. Then…
Fine, nothing happened.
“What are you doing.”
“Eh? You…”
Meng Fa, who was being rowdy a moment ago, suddenly quieted down and looked at me with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing. I just think you’re… well, you’re quite charismatic.”
Hearing a grown man say that, my face contorted. A nauseating feeling rose from my stomach.
“No matter how unpopular you are, don’t get interested in men… Let me make it clear in advance, I have zero interest in men.”
Meng Fa coughed a few times, choked by my words, and gave me the middle finger, saying, “Cough! Who’s interested in men! Even if you cross-dressed, I wouldn’t be interested in you!”
“Then what’s the meaning of the middle finger…”
Should I believe your words or your gesture that seems like you want to X me?
“Cough cough cough! It means I despise you!”
“Heh heh…”
This guy is really interesting.
I think I might understand why Lianbing likes to tease me so much. Teasing others is really fun.
“Geez, you’re confusing me! I am the great Ma… Cough, Oracle Master! I just did a divination for you and found that you’re destined for romantic luck.”
Divination and fortune-telling are not the same thing, are they? No, even if it’s fortune-telling, I’ve never heard of touching someone’s head… He’s obviously just trying to placate me.
“I’ve heard that everyone has three peak periods of romantic luck in their life. You must be experiencing your first peak!”
“Romantic luck, huh…”
I think it’s a romantic disaster, not luck. I don’t think my recent luck has been good. Ever since I met Lianbing, it’s been one catastrophe after another.
“Damn, I’m so envious! I wish I could be intimate with beautiful girls too!”
“…”
This guy really doesn’t hide his desires at all. All in all, he’s a straightforward good person. Although he looks fierce, he doesn’t seem to have any malicious intent.
“Ah, forget it. I’ve gained something, so I won’t hold it against you. By the way, my name is Meng Fa. We’re in the same class.”
“Oh, my name is Juncheng An…”
“I know. That’s all then. If we dawdle any longer, there won’t be time for lunch. Bye. Be sure to tell me the secret to being popular next time!”
After saying that, Meng Fa waved at me and walked out of the restroom. He’s really a guy who comes and goes like the wind.
Just as he turned to leave the restroom, I suddenly noticed that his pants were dry.
Oh hoo… Magic Master, huh…
