Chapter 518 – World Peace
Of the 6 girls not including the class leader, Xiong YaoYue and Ai Mi were cooking disasters, Loud Mouth only knows hot to eat, and Little Smart was more inclined towards vegetarianism, so none of them had good cooking skills. If we remove Gong CaiCai who always destroys plates and ingredients, then Xiao Qin will be the second best option.
“Just in time, you can help me out. Since you still have menstrual pains, I’ll wash the vegetables, okay?”
“Alright.” Xiao Qin nodded at the class leader and put on the kitchen slippers.
“By the way, help me block the kitchen door.” The class leader laughed lightly and said, “Don’t let Winnie and Ai Mi come in, or our dinner will be ruined.”
Although I was no longer worried Xiao Qin would secretly attack the class leader, I was still a little worried Xiao Qin would commit mischief (such as deliberately making the class leader’s cooking awful, so that she would be embarrassed in front of the others) but it turned out that my worries were unnecessary. Xiao Qin was very serious about learning cooking with the class leader, and seemed to have made up her mind to learn from her enemy.
The average person might think that spending a birthday with so many girls is great, but in fact it’s quite the opposite.
If it was a boy’s birthday and there was only one girl attending, then she would be treated like a star.
The reverse is not true. In this birthday party, as the only boy among 7 girls, I became the target of bullying and teasing.
“Ye Lin, I heard you were working as a substitute actor inside that show “Bloody Battle of Jin Ling”, is that true?”
Loud Mouth was the first to launch an attack.
“Occasionally, a few scenes here and there...” I replied sheepishly.
“So will you be an actor in the future?”
“No way...” I laughed to cover it up the past. It would be nice if I can act as a hero like Bruce Lee or Jet Li, but if I always have to play the villain...
“What about kiss scenes? Have you ever done a kiss scene as a substitute actor, it must be very exciting.”
“Loud Mouth, do you get dumber when you’re hungry? Why would you need a substitute actor for a kiss scene? Unless the female lead is too ugly, it would always be the male lead acting in the kiss scene.”
“That’s boring. That means you’re only responsible for the somersaults, jumping around, and getting beat up?”
It’s not wrong to say that, but it sounds a bit embarrassing...
“Who says you don’t need a substitute for kiss scenes?” Ai Mi suddenly spoke, “I always have a substitute shoot my kiss scenes.”
Kiss... kiss scene? Did Ai Mi already progress to kiss scenes? With who, that bastard Kyle?
Everyone’s heard about Ai Mi’s “singer-actor”reputation, but Ai Mi’s hasn’t really talked much about it so everyone thought she was only a regular child actor. But the class leader was very interested in Ai Mi’s performance, so she asked Xiong YaoYue to give her some records and some recordings of Ai Mi’s performances to her.
“I always use a substitute for my kiss scenes.” Ai Mi said like she was an industry expert, “Rather than a substitute, it’s more accurate to say doll. In “Life of Pi”, whenever the male lead interacts with the tiger, the tiger is just a doll. That means all film and television are all tricks, fortunately there are still brain dead people who are willing to watch it.”
Ai Mi suddenly stared straight at Gong CaiCai as if she had discovered something new about her.
“Hey, dairy cow, do you want to be on TV? If you’re willing to take off, I’ll can offer you a bath scene in our show.”
Gong CaiCai was terrified, “No, please forgive me, showing my body in front of a camera, I... I will faint.”
“What does it matter, everything below your shoulders will be under water.... but forget it if you don’t like it, how boring.”
The topic soon turned into the hard and interesting parts of working at Film City. Ai Mi, spoke about mostly hard work, while Xiao Qin, a bystander, spoke about a lot of interesting things.
“The day before yesterday the crew hired two elephants from the circus for filming. Who would have expected the elephants to steal beer, they ended up destroying several studios and they incurred heavy losses.”
“Hmph, what’s so funny, only people who knows martial arts like the violent girl and her mom could look at it as a joke. Ordinary people like us were in danger at the time, but thanks to the elephants, I could rest for two days...”
I finally had a use at dinner time as I helped serve the dishes. The result of the class leader and Xiao Qin’s efforts was a table of sumptuous food.
Pineapple sweet and sour pork, fresh salad, sweet and sour fish (remade after being trashed by Xiong YaoYue), stirfry eggplants, candied sweet potatoes...
The meat and veggies were well-matched and seasoned with care. I haven’t eaten her cooking ever since I hugged her and now I feel so nostalgic.
Actually a birthday banquet wasn’t much different from an ordinary dinner party, but on top of the eating and drinking, there were also blessings made to the birthday girl.
“May Cai Cai grow more and more beautiful.” That was an blessing made by ordinary girls like the class leader, Loud Mouth, and Xiao Qin.
“May Cai Cai’s life be more diverse.” That was a blessing made by literary girls like Little Smart.
“May Cai Cai’s breasts get bigger and bigger.” That was a blessing made by stupid girls like Xiong YaoYue.
“The last one, doesn’t count.” Gong CaiCai quickly denied it, as if there was a fairy who could make the blessings come true listening in, “I would sometimes use my stockings to wrap up my chest when I sleep hoping it would get smaller...”
Ai Mi and I were the only ones left who didn’t say a blessing. After Ai Mi finished her cola, she hung one arm on the table with boredom.
After listening to the previous conversations, Ai Mi said in a strange tone, “So, would you be happy if I wished your breasts to get smaller?”
“Yeah.” Gong CaiCai agreed quickly, “I am working towards that goal, thank you.”
I carelessly noticed Xiao Qin who was sitting on my left secretly clench her fist. She must have thought that Gong CaiCai’s trouble was detestable. But it’s her birthday, so I won’t ignore it if you cause a scene.
I breathed a sigh of relief after Xiao Qin worked hard to suppress her jealousy. I raised my glass that was filled with fruit juice and wished Gong CaiCai to get better grades. It was probably the best blessing for a student and Gong CaiCai was also satisfied.
After the blessing, it was time to blow out the candles and cut the cake. When the lights were turned off, I suddenly found a small, tender hand on my thigh.
I don’t even need to say that it must be Xiao Qin’s hand. You actually have the nerve to sexually harass me in front of so many people?
I acted without thinking and hit towards her hand. But before I hit her, Ai Mi had noticed Xiao Qin was assaulting her manservant, so she reached over and tried to swat Xiao Qin’s hand away.
As a result, I struck the back of Xiao Qin’s and Ai Mi’s hands simultaneously. The two of them both shrieked simultaneously, which made the class leader towards us suspiciously.
Don’t misunderstand, they did scream because of me, but it wasn’t because I took advantage of the darkness to touch them. It’s more correct to say they were the ones who touched me, of course, the credibility of the statement was low... but at least believe me that I won’t molest my own sister.
“Ye Lin classmate is so rough...” Xiao Qin murmured.
“The manservant actually hit the master? I guess you don’t want to get your monthly wages anymore.”
Hey, I don’t even get paid or are you talking about that unlimited American Express card? That card was wasted a long time ago, your information is too delayed. I’m basically working for free as your brother, so you should at least be a bit grateful.
Gong CaiCai puffed up her cheeks and blew out 14 candles in one breath, then closed her eyes and made a wish.
Loud Mouth meddled and asked, “What did you wish for, was it to find a good husband?”
“Ignore Geng YuHong.” The class leader said, “The wish won’t come true if you tell us.”
“There’s nothing to hide...” Gong CaiCai said shyly, “My wish is world peace. It’s what I wish for every birthday...”
“Why is it world peace?” Loud Mouth questioned, “World peace isn’t even something the UN can control and your wish doesn’t really benefit yourself either.”
“Well... it’s actually good for me.” Gong CaiCai explained, “My elementary school teacher once taught us the saying ‘It’s better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period’, if a war started...”
“I see.” Xiong YaoYue suddenly realized, “Cai Cai is really far-sighted. If there’s a third world war, I, the class leader, Xiao Qin and Ye Lin can join the army to serve the country. Loud Mouth and Little Smart can go work in the propaganda department. Only Cai Cai can’t work or cook, so when the time comes, she may be forced to become a comfort woman... sob sob... what a sad fate.”
As a result, the class leader grabbed her ears and taught her a lesson. After Xiong YaoYue came to her senses, she repeatedly apologized to Gong CaiCai. It’s not always good to be straightforward.
“It’s true I would be useless in a war.” Gong CaiCai admitted, “But I pray for world peace mainly for the weak animals to survive. Otherwise, when even humans can’t survive, the animals will suffer even more...”
Perhaps Gong CaiCai was really an animal protectionist, she did eat very little meat which was a stark contrast to me who only ate meat dishes.
I thought the day would end on a peaceful note, but then I suddenly received an anonymous text message.
“Ye YuanFeng has been arrested for carrying a large amount of drugs. If you don’t want to drag down your father, you should come and surrender.”
The message was signed off with ‘Ma’.
Damn Constable Ma. It’s likely if you caught my father when you’re doing a porn sweep, but there’s no way he touched drugs, who framed him?
