Chapter 625: Past Lives

“500 thousand usd is flying away, chase after it!” I cried tears of blood as I exasperatedly yelled out at Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin didn’t seem to be very concerned, “Um, I guess it’s good if it flies away. It’s because my dad had too much money, so he became a womanizer. It might actually be better if Ye Lin classmate and I live a bit poor…”

“Hey, you’re fine being poor, but Ai Mi isn’t! Do you want our family to be in the red every month?”

The phrase ‘our family’ made Xiao Qin widen her eyes. She may have misunderstood that I implied I would marry her in the future.

But she still wasn’t too interested in the blue morpho. It seems like she learned from Huo ZhenBang’s mistakes and seems to think it’s not a good thing for a man to have too much money.

“No, it’s too high for me to reach it (gt;_lt;)!”

Xiao Qin hopped a few times towards the blue morpho that flew up into the air, clumsily making a gesture of trying to catch it.

Can you stop trying to imitate Gong CaiCai, did you even jump over a centimeter off the ground? Even if you can’t jump 30 feet, then at least climb a tree to catch the butterfly! I have a fear of heights, so I can’t climb trees.

However, the blue morpho only stayed on the tree for less than three seconds, then it swayed and flew in towards the foot of the mountain.

When the two entomologists realized the blue morpho had left Xiao Qin’s straw hat, they immediately stopped fighting and scrambled to grab their insect net. They chased after the blue morpho for dozens of meters, but it was futile.

“Come back, my sports car, my down payment!” The young scholar shouted until he was hoarse.

Damn, $500,000USD is only enough for a down payment? Are you trying to buy a home at the center of Beijing?

Seeing the butterfly fly further and further away, the teacher and student who had already completely destroyed their relationship, began to pull out their cell phones to contact their acquaintances.

“It’s me, don’t ask, just hurry up and bring insect trapping tools to Cui Song Mountain, I finally saw that treasure.”

“Dear, call our son, we can’t let this brat steal the show.”

“Who are you calling a brat?”

“Whoever answered.”

“You old lecher.”

“Better than you who can’t even find a partner.”

Damn, he admitted it! The old teacher with gray hair admitted he was an old lecher. I think he was calling his wife and he didn’t even hang up yet. Would this call lead to a family tragedy?

“Anyway, don’t leak any information, just tell our son. Make sure to keep it a secret.”

“Lao San, don’t tell anyone else or there will be people coming to mess things up.”

“The buyer requested the butterfly must be alive. If it’s dead, the buy price will be ten times less!”

“More people would only make it more complicated, so Lao San, just call Lao Si. We’ll prevent the old beast from getting it, so we will definitely catch it first.”

“Who are you calling an old beast?”

“Whoever answered.”

The teacher and student kept cursing at each other and it looked like they were going to fight for a second round. Anyway, they had already spread the news there was a rare blue morpho on Cui Song Mountain and it would be sold for $500,000 if caught alive…

$500,000 had flown away even though it was almost in my hands. My current feelings was probably the same as Hitler when the Soviets occupied Berlin.

I grabbed Xiao Qin’s straw hat and put it on my own head to try and attract the butterfly.

But my head was too large and the hat didn’t fit.

I could only return the hat back to Xiao Qin. Wait, if I think about it, it’s better if Xiao Qin wears the hat and I can watch for when the butterfly comes back.

But after I had taken Xiao Qin’s hat, she trembled and said:

“Ye Lin classmate, do, do you want it now?”

“Huh?” I didn’t know how to react.

“Earlier, I asked Ye Lin classmate to help hold my straw hat, so I can help you… playplayplayplayplay the flute. Now that Ye Lin classmate took the hat away, are you hoping that I…”

Who wants you to do that in the middle of a mountain road? Also, there’s still two entomologists right there. I only wanted to try and attract the butterfly, maybe there’s some special chemical compound on your hat!

After I returned the straw hat to Xiao Qin, she didn’t wear the hat, but held it in front of her chest and blocked her chin and mouth.

“Does Ye Lin classmate really want $500,000? If you order me, then I’ll help you catch it…”

Her voice that was muffled by the straw hat sounded a bit funny.

With your lightning reflexes, it would have been simple for you to catch it earlier. Now, who knows where it flew to, so where would you go to catch it? What happens if you get into an accident?

I only wanted to catch it so I can give my sisters good living conditions. You are considered as one of my sisters, so why would I put you in danger?

“Forget it.” I shrugged, “We have the straw hat, so it might come back, we might as well wait.”

“But… I heard about the story of the Butterfly Lovers. If the butterfly gets caught, wouldn’t its lover be sad if it never goes home?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll catch it along with its lover.”

That’s how I planned to respond, but seeing Xiao Qin’s watery eyes, I changed it:

“Insects don’t have such complex emotions, also didn’t you tell me to step on the black beetle earlier, why are you not worried about its lover?”

“That’s not the same~~~” Xiao Qin hid behind the straw hat and shook her head, “The Butterfly Lovers turned into a butterfly and not a black beetle! I think we’re the same as the story, Liang ShanBo didn’t know Zhu YingTai was a girl at the start too…”

“It might even be our past lives. I think it’s unlucky catching a butterfly that we turned into in our past lives…”

My past life is definitely not a weak scholar like Liang ShanBo. As for you, you’re even less likely to be Zhu YingTai, you’re more like Zhang Fei.

But if I think about it, it’s more likely Xiong YaoYue’s past life was Zhang Fei. Since Xiao Qin has a dark personality, perhaps her past life was Zhang Fei’s mother?

As for why Zhang Fei’s mother has a dark personality, that’s because she gave birth to Zhang Fei, so her insides are all black.

At this point, the class leader called me and asked why it took so long to go to the washroom with Xiao Qin and that there was still a lot of work waiting for me at camp.

“It’s nothing, we got delayed a bit catching butterflies.” I said, “We’ll be right back.”

“It was only Ye Lin classmate who wanted to catch butterflies…” Xiao Qin looked as if she was slightly dissatisfied with me using her as an excuse.

“Your dirty t-shirt…” The class leader wanted to mention helping me wash my clothes again.

“I’ll do it, we’re a family, so of course I’ll do it.” Xiao Qin shouted at the phone.

“Then… I’ll let Xiao Qin wash it, you guys remember to be careful around the stream.” The class leader immediately backed off.

But she didn’t seem jealous like before with Xiong YaoYue, it seems she was rather happy to concede.

Did she misunderstood when Xiao Qin said that we’re a “family”? Did she think Xiao Qin already knew about parents and openly accepted her identity as my sister?

You’ve both misunderstood!

Xiao Qin kept pestering me, so in the end, I still sat half naked by the stream and let her wash my t-shirt.

We didn’t have any soap (I bet the class leader would have some), so it wasn’t very clean, but I won’t be so fastidious to my sister.

Coincidentally, there was a round stone by the stream which was very hot due to the sun. After washing the t-shirt, we laid it out over the stone and it dried very quickly.

I immediately put the t-shirt on, because Xiao Qin kept stealing glances at my upper body and “raping” me with her eyes when she was washing my clothes.

“Ye Lin classmate is so stingy, you let me see it when we were kids…”

“Shut up, when we were fighting when we were 11 years old, I even ripped off your shirt and saw yours, but are you going to let me see it now?”

“If Ye Lin classmate wants to see it…” Xiao Qin went to lift up her clothes.

“Who wants to see it when you’re so flat!” I yelled to stop her with a red face, then I pulled her hand, “Let’s go back to camp.”

Xiao Qin didn’t say anything, she let me hold her hand and she followed me.

Her small hands which were just soaked in the cool water felt a bit cold as she sucked the heat from my palms.

“Can we hold hands forever? Even if we go to a fairy tale world…”

Who wants to go to a fairy tale world with you? I’m a strong person who’s ready to go to hell to train. Besides, didn’t you say that in a fairy tale world you will be a kitten while I’m a dinosaur?

According to my character, it must be Tyrannosaurus Rex. A Tyrannosaurus Rex who roars while chasing other dinosaurs. Don’t you know that the Tyrannosaurus Rex has small front claws, so how would we hold hands?

That said, we already went to a fairy tale world, so how come I still can’t escape the fate of having short legs!

After returning back to camp while holding Xiao Qin’s hand, the class leader didn’t seem unhappy even when she saw. It was as if she felt me holding Xiao Qin’s hand was as natural as her holding Shu Zhe’s hand.

The rumors about me recognizing Xiao Qin as my god sister began to spread among the students. The source probably wasn’t the class leader but Loud Mouth.

“They are already childhood friends, so it isn’t strange for them to recognize each others as siblings.”

“Xiao Qin used to say that she wouldn’t marry anyone but Ye Lin. I always thought Ye Lin didn’t really treat her like a girlfriend, as I expected…”

“Ye Lin recognized Xiao Qin as a god-sister, so that she doesn’t hinder his pursuit of Gong CaiCai, how cruel…”

“Hmph, who knows what’s the truth?”

Shut up, why are you saying the same thing as that young entomologist!
