Chapter 914: Denying Reality
Chapter 914: Denying Reality
I didn’t take the drunk Xiao Qin seriously. I planned to casually subdue her and force her to go home.
Should it be considered arrogance or just getting carried away after being cured of my heart problems? In any case, I thought that I would be a match against Xiao Qin in Yin Yang Sanshou because I had the physical advantage and my heart was no longer holding me back.
However, reality was brutally harsh. The hand I extended towards Xiao Qin, half out of goodwill and half as a show of force, was blocked by Xiao Qin with a lightning-fast counter and she clamped down on my wrist.
“Ah, ah, ah —— that hurts! You’re serious, aren’t you!”
The bad memories resurfaced and it was like every childhood injury the Little Tyrant inflicted on me began to throb.
Xiao Qin’s action of holding onto my wrist was similar to a joint lock; if I didn’t want my wrist to get injured, I had no choice but to kneel before Xiao Qin.
No way! A a man does not easily kneel in front of others! I will never let you succeed!
I made a quick decisions to do a side back-flip to counter Xiao Qin’s joint lock. Although it was an eye-catching and clumsy method, it did free me from Xiao Qin’s grip and I regained my freedom.
“Phew, suddenly doing a flip felt a bit uncomfortable after not having done strenuous physical activity for a while!”
However, my side flip attracted the attention of bystanders, who started to circle around us and watch the commotion.
“What’s going on? Is it a street dance performance?”
“I don’t know, the boy and girl are wearing school uniforms. She looks like a middle school student while he seems to be a high school student. Are they even from the same school?”
“Who cares, as long as there’s something exciting to watch!”
Usually, I don’t mind being watched by others when fighting, but it’s different with Xiao Qin because it’s very private. If the crowd realizes we’re not street dancing but actually sparring, it would be embarrassing if I make Xiao Qin cry!
Let me make it clear: it’s not because I’m worried about being beaten by Xiao Qin that I don’t want onlookers!
“Go away! No spectating!” I glared fiercely at them to intimidate the audience, “This is a family matter, I’m just teaching my disobedient younger sister a lesson. What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
My face that looked like the face of a murderer, added a particularly intimidating effect to my words, and caused many of the more timid spectators to disperse. Yet, there were a few bold ones who refused to leave and wanted to see how the ‘brother’ was going to discipline his ‘sister’.
“What did you just say?” Xiao Qin, who had completely turned into the Little Tyrant, had her hands in her pockets as she kicked the pebbles by her feet and said, “Who did you call your younger sister? You’ve got some nerve! You know I’m your older brother, right?”
Xiao Qin’s appearance completely contradicted her tone and posture, it even sparked some laughter among some of the onlookers. Xiao Qin frowned, stamped her foot and kicked up a cloud of dust and blind the eyes of those in front of her.
“No way! The girl is as fierce as the guy; maybe they really are siblings!”
“Ah, my suit is all dirty!”
The few brave ones lost interest and also left. However, some still stood to watch from far away.
A thin layer of sand and soil that was beneath Xiao Qin and me was left behind from recent construction near the subway station. I nearly fell when I landed from my side flip, but fortunately, my well-trained stability saved me.
“Stop talking nonsense about being my older brother! Come home with me! Auntie Ren will be heartbroken if she sees you like this!”
Xiao Qin raised her eyebrow, “Since when do I need your supervision to go home! A mere wild donkey…”
“Alright then, don’t blame me for being barbaric then!”
I charged straight at Xiao Qin to give her a bear hug, I planned to subdue her purely with brute force.
I had assumed that Xiao Qin’s memory had reverted to her childhood self, back when she was very confident in her own strength as the Little Tyrant, so she would likely confront me head-on. However, reality was different. Xiao Qin half-turned her body and deftly dodged my charge.
“Hmph, it’s been a long time, so I see you’ve gained some skills, huh! But you’re still just as weak!”
Xiao Qin mercilessly mocked me and then sent a lightning-fast side kick at me!
Damn it! Even though her pivot leg didn’t leave the ground, it was clear that this move was derived from Auntie Ren’s flying bone-breaking kick. It looks like Xiao Qin was really drunk since she used a killer move right off the bat, it turns out her gender dysphoria gets worse when she’s drunk!
No good! It’s too fast to dodge!
I activated Yin Yang Sanshou and used the outer side of the back of my hand and wrist to form an arc. I blocked Xiao Qin’s foot and tried to deflect the force as much as possible.
The sandy soil under my foot reduced the friction and my body was actually moved sideways by Xiao Qin’s kick.
I had no choice, but in order to maintain balance, I had to squat down to lower my center of gravity and barely neutralized Xiao Qin’s strike.
However, Xiao Qin showed an expression as if it was interesting, but she didn’t give me a chance to grab her ankle. She retracted her attack before it was fully extended, then she aimed at me with her infamous Little Tyrant’s iron fist.
So you’re heading straight for my nose, huh? Are you trying to give me a face full of bruises?
It was also an opportunity! I pretended to be a beat too slow and let Xiao Qin’s strike come close to my face, but at the last moment, I swiftly reached out and grabbed Xiao Qin’s wrist and elbow with my left and right hands respectively. I then pulled her into my embrace and planned to end the fight with a grappling move.
Xiao Qin let out a surprised exclamation as it seemed she was impressed by my combat strategy, but she didn’t hesitate at all. She swept her left leg directly towards my groin and wanted to force me to release her right hand by targeting a vulnerable area.
It won’t be that easy! I suddenly stood up and caused Xiao Qin’s kick to miss and also lifted her right hand higher which left her front wide open. If it were anyone else, I could have easily struck at their chest or abdomen.
But this was Xiao Qin! If I hit her chest, especially when she’s already lacking in that department, it would be too harsh and what if I flattened her completely? Also, her abdomen is absolutely off-limits; the reason she suffers from menstrual cramps was my fault to begin with. I certainly didn’t want to exacerbate her condition.
Xiao Qin noticed my moment of hesitation.
“Why are you hesitating? I’ve already figured out how to defend against your attacks, but you didn’t even make a move, how disappointing!”
“Are you really asking me why?” I said with a grin, “Ever since you became a girl, hitting you anywhere could be considered harassment. The two of us pulling on each other like this has already attracted a lot of onlookers! Let’s stop, I’ll take you home…”
“Oof!”
Xiao Qin punched me on the chest with her left fist. It made me take a step back and she freed herself from my grasp.
Xiao Qin looked at me with a puzzled and angry expression.
“Why do you keep spouting nonsense and saying that I’m a girl, do you have any proof?”
“You are the proof! I’ve never seen anyone deny reality to the extent you do!”
Coincidentally, a high school boy who had just come out of the subway, was watching the commotion while standing behind Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin, who was drunk and cured of her androphobia, grabbed him and asked, “Do you think I’m a boy or a girl?”
The boy, who was skinny and smaller than Xiao Qin, answered shakily under her intimidating gaze, “Of course you’re a girl! A very cute one…”
“Cute my ass!”
Xiao Qin was furious. She slammed the high school boy against the wall outside the subway station, and knocked him out cold.
“Lies! Everyone’s trying to trick me…”
Xiao Qin clenched her fists tightly. Her face was redder than ever as she faced a major self-identity crisis.
Suddenly her eyes lit up as she saw someone behind me, and she waved her hands as she shouted, “Class leader, do you think I’m a boy or a girl?”
I turned around and saw that the class leader had came on her bicycle, probably because she was worried about us. She came to check on us an hour before the evening self-study session to see if we had encountered any trouble.
Speaking of which, Xiao Qin’s memory really was a jumbled mess! She knows the class leader but doesn’t know if she herself is a boy or a girl?
The class leader had only just arrived on her bicycle and it didn’t seem like she witnessed our scuffle from earlier. She judged from Xiao Qin’s flushed face that Xiao Qin might have gotten drunk from eating the chocolate liqueur.
“Sorry, I didn’t realize they contained alcohol.” the class leader apologized to Xiao Qin.
“Forget about that!” Xiao Qin urged impatiently, “Just tell me, am I a boy or a girl?”
The class leader blinked in confusion: “Of course you’re a girl!”
“Liar!”
Xiao Qin looked extremely angry and I was afraid she would deal with the class leader the same way she did with the high school boy earlier, but instead, she threw herself onto the class leader and, completely unexpectedly, kissed her on the lips.
“How about that! I could kiss you! I must be a man, right?”
The class leader, who was pushing her bicycle, was suddenly kissed by Xiao Qin, who was half a head shorter than her. She didn’t know how to react and looked like she short-circuited as she stood there dumbfounded.
Xiao Qin, who seemed eager to prove her masculinity, unscrupulously wrapped her arms around the class leader’s waist from the side (she didn’t hug her shoulders because she wasn’t tall enough). She triumphantly said to me:
“See that? She’s going to be my girl from now on! As for you, you can only be my underling, got it! Also, I won’t allow you two to hang out behind my back!”
The class leader’s face turned a shade of crimson due to the crowd watching from a distance, and I was infuriated by Xiao Qin that I felt like coughing up blood.
“Stop joking around! How can you be a man with breasts?”
Xiao Qin actually lifted the collar of her uniform to look inside in front of everyone, .
“It’s just… I got a bit fatter, that’s all!”
Xiao Qin, who didn’t notice the training bra she was wearing after looking down her collar, suddenly began to roughly grope the class leader’s chest, with a perverted expression on her face.
“This is what real breasts are like! Only then will your children have milk to drink!”
The class leader was stunned when she was molested by someone of the same sex in broad daylight, and it wasn’t even the person she had been constantly wary of, Zhuang Ni. She tried to break free from Xiao Qin’s embrace, but Xiao Qin, who was possessed by a domineering spirit, had the advantage in strength, and the class leader didn’t have a way to escape.
“What’s wrong with you, Xiao Qin? Even if you can’t hold your alcohol, you shouldn’t get drunk from only two chocolates…”
“Mind your own business!” Xiao Qin snapped at the class leader like an abusive boyfriend, “Just focus on making yourself look pretty! Don’t meddle in my affairs!”
