Chapter 912: Electric Eel Cat
Chapter 912: Electric Eel Cat
I didn’t do anything on Sunday other than perform tests on my heart.
I made sure to close my curtains first so other people wouldn’t think that I had ADHD.
I aimed at the sandbag hanging in my bedroom and first hit it with 50 jabs, and then followed up with 50 uppercuts! And kicks! High kicks! Die, you scumbag!
“Xiao Lin, do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with me?”
My dad heard my cries through the door and thought I was venting my anger.
“No need! I’m fine!”
After hitting the sandbag, I did another 100 squats and 100 push-ups until I was sweating profusely and laid on the bed while being unable to move anymore.
It’s okay. The reduction in exercise over the past few months didn’t seem to negatively affect my physical fitness. The most important aspect is that after my stress test, I can confirm that my heart problems has been completely cured!
Of course, strictly speaking, although I was cured, the virus was still in my blood, but it would no longer have an adverse effect on me.
When I went to school on Monday, I couldn’t hide my excitement and smiled all morning.
“Did something good happen?” Xiao Qin, who was sitting next to me, asked.
Of course! It’s because my heart problems was cured! But I never told you I had heart problems, so I can’t tell you that it’s cured. I could share the good news with the class leader, but in that case, she won’t be so accommodating to me anymore, right? Should I hide it from the class leader for a while longer?
Everybody gets in high spirits when they’re happy. Today, I helped Niu ShiLi carry the physics class equipment and also helped the first-year students retrieve a basketball that was stuck between the basket and the backboard. I even competed against Xiong YaoYue on who would reach the cafeteria first.
“What are you doing?” The class leader finally noticed my abnormality. She lowered her voice and said to me, “Aren’t you afraid of getting a heart attack? It was hard for me to suspend your duties as a sports committee member…”
“Oh right! My heart!”
I was completely fine when the class leader didn’t remind me, but as soon as she reminded me, I immediately clutched my chest with a pained expression:
“I accidentally exercised too much and my body feels so uncomfortable…”
I said as I leaned towards the class leader, which was exactly what Ai Mi did to me on Halloween.
Surprisingly, the class leader actually avoided it! She avoided me instead of catching me!
Why! Even if she was afraid that rumors would spread if she caught me with her body, she should at least catch me with her hand! Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise my head would have hit the wall.
“Your heart problems were cured, right?” The class leader had turned to the side to evade me and her long hair gradually settled back to its normal state, “When I saw you enter the classroom this morning, you seemed very energetic, so I had this suspicion… it looks like I was right.”
“Huh? How did you know?” I was confused, “I guess I did run and jump a lot today, but that doesn’t prove that I my mental illness… no, that my heart problems has been cured!”
The class leader crossed her arms and tilted her head back so she could look down on me.
“For a detective, the truth is simply a puzzle composed of multiple clues. The heart attack you just faked was the final piece of the puzzle.”
“Did it look too fake?” I had twisted my shirt into a swirl pattern from clutching my chest.
“Hmph, other than the fact that your lips didn’t turn blue at all when you pretended to have a heart attack. the main problem is that your heart should be on the left side! It’s too obvious it’s fake if you grab the right side of your chest!?”
Damn! I really grabbed the wrong side! It’s because I consumed a lot of oxygen racing with Xiong YaoYue, so I was out of breath and my lungs were being worked harder. That’s why when I pretended to have a heart attack, I subconsciously grabbed the right side of my chest!
What a failure! My IQ drops drastically when I get carried away. I guess that’s a weakness that might never get corrected in my lifetime!
“Well, my heart is cured…”
Since she already had her suspicions, I can only tell her the truth.
Of course, I didn’t tell her anything unnecessary. I only said that Dr. Yu finally found a specific medicine to cure me after painstaking research, and that he happily cured me.
“Are you completely fine?” The class leader, who kept her distance from me, seemed a little indifferent from her stance, but she had a caring tone.
“I’m completely fine! I tested it myself at home yesterday, and I could even participate in a triathlon right away! Hahahahaha!!”
I probably looked like an idiot when I tried my best to show off in front of the class leader.
“It’s better to be cautious.” the class leader calmly advised, “It’s best to keep your duties suspended for a while and wait until your physical condition is stable before making any more arrangements.”
The bell rang and the class leader couldn’t say anymore, but I saw her hand on her chest when she walked away as if she had breathed a long sigh of relief.
At noon, I led Xiao Qin to eat at the food stall street, but we saw the class leader and Gong CaiCai in front of an ATM. The class leader was withdrawing money from the ATM as Gong CaiCai looked around nervously.
Did she stop by to pick up some money after their meal? Maybe the class leader was planning to cook a banquet to celebrate my recovery, so she was withdrawing money to buy some food? There’s no need to spend any money! If you really want to cook for me, you can go to Ai Mi’s VIP building. There will be all kinds of high-end ingredients at your disposal!
“It would be great if we ran into a mugger.” Xiao Qin said without any malice, “In that case, if I subdue the mugger, Ye Lin classmate would give me a star!”
“Don’t jinx it! You haven’t seen a mugger after watching the ATM for more than a month. Why would there be a mugger right when the class leader’s turn to withdraw money…”
“Help! Someone’s robbing me!”
A middle aged woman’s voice suddenly rang out from within the crowd.
Really? Speak of the devil! A robbery took place in broad daylight at an ATM area near the class leader and Gong CaiCai.
A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes had withdrawn a thick stack of money and put it in her bag. She was walking around slowly, but unexpectedly, a pale and extremely malnourished robber rushed out and snatched the bag away. He then proceeded to heard towards an alley.
He must be a drug addict! He probably took the risk because he didn’t have any more money to buy drugs. He didn’t even care if it was crowded, he just grabbed the money once he saw it so he could go buy drugs!
Whenever I hear news about young people with great prospects whose lives have been ruined by drugs, I always feel that Officer Ma and his colleagues’ work is very valuable. So even if Officer Ma isn’t really friendly towards me, I simply let it go because I’m the bigger person.
“It’s a robbery! Someone call the police! My phone is also in that bag!”
The frustrated middle-aged woman pointed at the drug addict’s fleeing figure and shouted to the crowd of onlookers.
Her gaze fell on Gong CaiCai since she was the closest person. She must have seen the phone in Gong CaiCai’s hand, so she used her meaty double chin to signal Gong CaiCai to call the police. However, Gong CaiCai was already scared witless after she had just witnessed the robbery. She was trembling and didn’t know what to do.
“Class, class leader…”
The class leader had her back facing the outside, so when she turned around after withdrawing the money, the robber had already run far away.
“Yes, the location is the food stall street behind 28 Middle. The suspect is average height, wearing dark blue clothes, and has a very pale complexion. I don’t know if he is carrying weapon.”
The class leader immediately helped call the police. She didn’t bother chasing after the drug-addled robber who might have jumped over a wall. After all, she wasn’t a police officer yet and didn’t have any tools.
Xiao Qin laughed out loud behind me, “(≧▽≦) Yippee! It’s finally my turn to shine!”
“Don’t do anything stupid!” I wanted to stop Xiao Qin, but she already ran towards the alley where the robber disappeared, so I had no choice but to follow her.
“Ye Lin? What are you and Xiao Qin going to do?”
The class leader also noticed us and didn’t approve of our reckless behavior.
“Yes, yes, yes! Get my bag back!” the middle-aged woman shouted from behind, “I don’t need what’s inside, the bag is more valuable! I’ll reward you if you bring the bag back!”
Huh? Could it be the legendary LV brand bag? It seems that there are quite a few wealthy women in Dong Shan City!
I followed Xiao Qin into the alley and went through multiple twists and turns, but didn’t see any signs of Xiao Qin. Instead, I saw the LV bag discarded on the ground.
I guess the robber didn’t know its value! I can’t believe he took the cash but left the more valuable LV bag behind. However, it’s also possible that he didn’t have a channel to sell stolen goods and was in a hurry to buy drugs, so it didn’t matter if it was an LV bag, a phone, or cosmetics, but he threw them all on the ground.
I was worried that something might happen to Xiao Qin, so I picked up the LV bag and continued to chase after her. It wasn’t that I wanted to get a reward from the rich woman, but if the robber used a weapon, then I could use this expensive bag as a shield.
I was a step too late.
When I spotted the robber around the corner, he had already fallen to the ground. His shirt was ripped and his sleeves was used as a rope to bind his hands behind his back —— I don’t know if it was because he had a taste of Xiao Qin’s iron fist or if it was because of his drug addiction, but he was foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.
Xiao Qin was sitting on a short wall next to her, dangling her legs, as if taking down the robber was an easy and enjoyable routine. The pile of stolen money was also placed on the wall.
“(^__^) Hee hee… As the saying goes: A good person protects three villages, a good dog protects three neighborhoods. Although I’m a cat, I still feel good about punishing evil. More importantly, Ye Lin classmate will reward me with stars!”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly covered her neck and screamed ‘Ah!’
“What’s wrong?!” I was shocked, “Did you get injured in the fight?”
However, Xiao Qin’s expression quickly returned to normal.
“Hehe, it’s not an injury～ it’s autumn so I’m wearing more clothes now. I had static build up on my body and I accidentally shocked myself!”
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue at me and said cutely: “Every autumn, I turn into an electric eel cat, which is really troublesome! Ye Lin classmate won’t avoid me because you’re afraid of being shocked by me, right?”
