The Buggiest System

66 - Assertiveness

Zhou Zhenya followed her brother as he walked to the bus stop. Soon enough, both of them arrived.

Zhou Lei sat down on the bench as he waited for a bus to come. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhenya hid behind the the signpost as she spied on her brother.

After a while, the bus arrived, and Zhou Lei stood up and got on. Zhou Zhenya was thinking.

I can't get on the same bus as him, otherwise, he would spot me in a breath. Let's just wait for the next bus.

Fortunately, another bus arrived as soon as the last one left. She got on that one as she laughed silently.

Huhuhu, I feel somewhat luckier today.

.....

Zhou Lei felt that someone was following him. He shuddered at the thought, however, he quickly brushed it off afterwards.

Soon enough, he arrived at his school. He took a deep breath, readying himself should he meet Wen Hui right away.

...Nope, I can't do this!

He went through the other, obscure entrance, quickly making paces towards his classroom. He wanted to take a nap on his desk as soon as possible.

Zhou Lei didn't think that Wen Hui should already be there. After all, he arrived unusually early today. Normally, Zhou Lei would wait for the last possible second to start readying for school.

Sure enough, when he opened the classroom, his teacher wasn't there yet. He let out a sigh of relief. Walking to his seat, he quickly sat down and put his head on the desk.

He didn't expect to fall into deep sleep, just enough so that it would give him enough energy for later... ahem, enough talking about that.

Seeing his arrival, almost all of his classmates stared at him as he lied his head down on his desk. All of them were still pretty much infatuated by his face.

One actually stood up and brought out a pillow from her backpack! Why did she have a pillow in her backpack, you ask?

Because she was the well-known student, the Sleeping Princess! Her name was Ma Xiaoli, and she always slept during classes. However, even though this was the case, her teachers never reprimanded her, even when she was seated at the front of the classroom. This was because she was also well-known by another name. She was the number one ranking student in the whole school. She was also very beautiful, the reason why the students call her the "Sleeping Princess".

Ma Xiaoli stood up, bringing a pillow with her. She walked to where Zhou Lei was resting and spoke, albeit timidly. "Do... you want a pilow?"

Zhou Lei, however, didn't budge at all. Almost as if... he was asleep! Seeing that Zhou Lei didn't react in the slightest to her offer, Ma Xiaoli was filled with sadness.

In reality, Zhou Lei was in a deep sleep already. He was snoring, but it was not too loud. Soon enough, the sleeping expert, Ma Xiaoli, heard his snores, and her sadness dissipated quickly. It turns out that he was not ignoring me, but rather, he was already asleep!

In the perspective of others, however, Zhou Lei had just silently rejected Ma Xiaoli.

"Damn, he's so fierce!", said one male student as he observed from the back. He was one of the only ones that weren't infatuated by Zhou Lei. Although, he wanted to befriend this hot guy. This would get him lots of girls... probably.

Beside him, a girl was also observing the situation. "It seems... that he has high standards! It's only natural. He has such a nice appearance."

Everyone watched on as to how Ma Xiaoli would react to this blatant rejection. Some predicted that Ma Xiaoli would be dismayed and would lash out at Zhou Lei. Others said that she would just walk back to her seat with a frown on her face.

The result was out of everyone's expectations.

Zhou Lei's head was raised up, and a pillow was slipped under it. His head was gently put down afterwards.

Ma Xiaoli let go of Zhou Lei's head as she walked back to her seat in glee. She didn't feel like sleeping today - her pillow was being used by the most handsome guy in school!

"What?!" Everyone looked at what Ma Xiaoli did with wide eyes. Never did they expect this usually quiet honors student to be so... assertive!

The other girls who watched the whole scene unfold before them made up their minds. They each took a thing from their bag and walked towards Zhou Lei.

It doesn't matter if he accepts it or not. We will be "assertive" today!

Some of the guys were all dumbfounded at the sight that was happening in front of them. The girls... were all servicing Zhou Lei, one way or another!

One took off his shoes and started to polish them.

One grabbed his hands and put some nail cuticles on.

One grabbed his foot and quickly let go because it was too smelly!

A male student talked to his seatmate as he looked at Zhou Lei. "This is crazy! Makes you jealous, no?" He slowly turned his head to look at his seatmate.

To his surprise, his seatmate was not there anymore... He looked back at Zhou Lei, and there he saw his seatmate, joining the group...

His eyes were filled with jealousy. I want all of this attention as well! Later, I will complain to my mom about this, she will surely understand me.
