Gu Li lowered her voice, "I drank lemon water this morning, and it's the second time it's been sour."

Jiang Xu said, "I didn't drink it." He shook his head and continued, "Trendy people like us just eat it raw."

Gu Li said with a smile, “Tsk, I’m starting to feel jealous.” He turned to look at Jiang Xu, “She glanced at me and then at you, it was obvious she was looking at us, I don’t believe you didn’t notice.”

Jiang Xu said seriously, "I didn't see that, really? Is that really the case?"

Gu Li couldn't help but push Jiang Xu's arm. "I want to give you the Oscar that was given to Lü Chao. You acted much better than him."

Lü Chao: I really will thank you.

Jiang Xu frowned as he looked at him. "You actually sent Lu Chao a little golden statue." His tone was overly sincere, which startled Gu Li.

Gu Li, "Are you serious? You're really going to do this?"

Jiang Xu's expression remained unchanged. The two stared intently at each other. The next moment, Jiang Xu burst out laughing, "Give me my little golden statue."

Gu Li was taken aback. "That's great! I'll order one right away. You deserve it."

Jiang Xu said, "You're making me blush with all the praise."

Gu Li said, "I really believe your lies. Xu Lang is even going to become your apprentice."

Jiang Xu: "I don't just take on disciples casually, but why does he want to become my disciple?"

Gu Li leaned close to Jiang Xu's ear and said, "Want to know?" He didn't say anything more for a while, letting his breath hit Jiang Xu's earlobe. Only after he felt that he had aroused Jiang Xu's curiosity did he say, "Because it's wild enough."

Jiang Xu thought Gu Li was the real flirt; her voice was so captivating, and each time it was more provocative than the last.

Jiang Xu said, "You should prepare your apprenticeship ceremony. I've taken a liking to you as a promising talent."

Gu Li, "Huh?"

Jiang Xu said vaguely, “You don’t need to be taught, you already know how to do it. You’re the one who’s being reckless, Gu Li.”

Half-true, half-false, it's the hardest to figure out and impossible to ask. Gu Li replied, "A rebound."

Jiang Xu and Gu Li stopped talking there, but the girl who had just turned back turned around again, and asked with some anticipation, "Have you signed up for any clubs?"

Jiang Xu: "Clubs? Aren't those things for freshmen?"

Lu Lianlian: "No, you can join every year, and you even get academic credits."

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Wait a minute," he turned to look at Gu Li, "Did you join a club before?"

Gu Li said uncertainly, "No, I don't really remember." He had been in a state of confusion for a year, and some minor details had been overlooked.

Jiang Xu: "Why don't we go together?"

Gu Li hesitated for a moment, "I might not have time, but let's go take a look together."

Jiang Xu said, "Yes," he looked back at the girl in the front row, "Could you tell us the time and place?"

Lu Lianlian asked, "It's tomorrow afternoon, during our day off, at the fountain near the main gate! What clubs are you planning to join?" Her desire to join a club and go ship couples was burning brightly.

Gu Li said, "It's not confirmed yet," and then pointed ahead, "Class is about to start, let's turn back."

Lu nodded repeatedly and turned around.

Jiang Xu: "So you drank lemon water this morning. No wonder you asked me earlier."

Gu Li said, "I drank some to soothe my throat. You even know that? You care about me a lot." He knew that his tone was a little impatient just now, but he was indeed a little annoyed, an annoyance that he couldn't stand.

“Yes, I’m always watching what you do,” Jiang Xu joked, handing Gu Li a pen. “I suddenly think pen spinning is quite fun, how about you teach me?”

Gu Li: "Won't that corrupt good students? I won't teach them."

Jiang Xu said, "I pay the tuition, and at most it's just a matter of students helping each other."

Gu Li took the pen. "I don't need the money."

Jiang Xu: "I know."

The pen danced between Gu Li's fingers. "What's that?"

Jiang Xu: "I'm not ready yet, can I buy it on credit first, Teacher Gu?"

Gu Li's pen slipped from his fingers and fell onto the table. "It's just a bad check," he said, picking up the pen with feigned composure. "How about paying a deposit first?"

Jiang Xu: "Okay, go ahead."

Gu Li wanted to speak, but when he met Jiang Xu's gaze, he saw a hint of indulgence in the other's eyes, and swallowed his words. "Never mind, I'll give the first student a discount. The discount is that your deposit will be waived."

Jiang Xu: "Okay, thanks, Brother Li."

Gu Li said, "You really knew what I wanted to bring up, didn't you? You really are..." He couldn't think of a better way to describe it, "I'm really impressed by you."

Jiang Xu: "It's not entirely certain, but why don't you mention it anymore?"

Gu Li said, "You're being too lenient. I'm too embarrassed to take advantage of you." He picked up the pen on the table and said, "Come on, let's start class."

On Tuesday, as soon as the morning bell rang, a group of students poured out of the classroom. Gu Li stood up and said to Jiang Xu, "I have something to do. See you at the recruitment meeting this afternoon."

Jiang Xu nodded. "Okay."

In the afternoon, Jiang Xu arrived at the club recruitment site. His first thought was that it was very lively, with many freshmen and seniors, and various introductions were being made.

Each club had set up a small shed for shade, with the sheds close together, and a banner hanging at the top identified which club it belonged to.

Jiang Xu wandered around a row of clubs and was handed a bunch of club introduction papers. Many people wanted to add his contact information, but Jiang Xu just took the papers, refused to add his contact information, and moved on to the next one.

A girl rushed past him. Jiang Xu instinctively tried to avoid her, but she either lost her balance or something else and bumped into his shoulder, then fell to the ground.

Jiang Xu frowned as he looked at the girl on the ground, then squatted down and asked, "Are you alright?"

Hu Bingbing, wearing a rather inconvenient short skirt, was sitting on the ground in an unusual position. She looked up at Jiang Xu and said, "I'm fine. I was in such a hurry that I bumped into you. But it's a little inconvenient for me to get up. Could you help me block people?"

Jiang Xu nodded and stood behind the girl.

Hu Bingbing saw Jiang Xu unexpectedly. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, so she could only get to know him in an unplanned way.

She knew Jiang Xu was a sophomore these days, and she thought he wouldn't come to recruit new members. She planned to audit his classes first, get to know him, and then recruit Jiang Xu into the club.

Of course, she also learned that the red-haired man was Gu Li. Gu Li was a difficult fish to catch, but based on the connections she had seen at the supermarket that day, once she had won over Jiang Xu, Gu Li would slowly take the bait.

Even if it wasn't Jiang Xu, her main goal was still him. Hu Bingbing firmly believed that this moment marked the beginning of her connection with Jiang Xu.

She slowly got up from the ground. "Okay, classmate, I'm up."

After hearing this, Jiang Xu simply hummed in response and continued walking forward without even turning his head.

Hu Bingbing knew this wouldn't do, so she immediately pretended her legs went weak and cried out, "Ouch!" as she reached for Jiang Xu's hand.

Jiang Xu turned around, and in the process, he used his hand to slap away Hu Bingbing's outstretched hand.
