Chapter 010 Club Members
Not long after Higashino Higashi got up, he received a call from Shirabu Kenjiro.
"You called me so early in the morning, is there something wrong?" Dong Yexi asked.
Shirabu Kenjiro asked straight to the point, "What's going on between you and your junior from the law school?"
Dong Yexi was stunned: "What?" He thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about Hatori Yuiichi? What happened to him?" He had only seen this junior yesterday.
Shirabu Kenjiro: "It's not what happened to him, it's what happened to you! The gossip about you two has exploded on the school forum. I sent it to you, take a look for yourself."
Higashino Xi opened the chat app with a confused look on his face. Shirabu Kenjiro had sent him several messages. He quickly browsed through them and was speechless.
He commented: "It's amazing that these people can make up so many stories with just a few photos."
Shirabu Kenjiro asked, "Aren't you going to clarify this?"
Dong Yexi raised an eyebrow, thinking: This rumor came at the perfect time, giving him free publicity. He couldn't be happier. But he felt a little sorry for his junior.
But he said, "The best way to deal with rumors is to turn a blind eye. After a while, the heat will naturally fade away."
Shirabu Kenjiro saw that he wasn't affected at all and expressed his admiration for his attitude. "Just keep it in mind."
However, Dong Yexi was still very grateful to Bai Bu for calling to remind him. He thought that he should maintain good relationships with his classmates, otherwise no one would tell him about what happened in school.
So, when he passed by a snack shop on his way to school, he went in to buy some snacks and brought them to his junior and Shirabu Kenjiro.
Although Mr. Baotian teaches classes, he does not personally teach many students, and his seniors are all out for internships, so only he and two other junior students stay in the laboratory.
Shirabu Kenjiro, a sports medicine major, worked in the lab next door. When he visited with snacks, he attracted a lot of attention.
Shirabu Kenjiro glanced at the contents of the bag and was speechless. "Why do you think I like these snacks?"
Dong Yexi looked at him in surprise: "Huh? You don't like it?"
A senior student nearby looked over and said, "These snacks are too high in calories and are not recommended for people who are in the fitness phase."
"It's not recommended during the recovery period," said another senior. "It's too troublesome to analyze the ingredient list when eating snacks. Let's just ban them altogether."
Higashino Hi: ...
Shirabu Kenjiro glanced at him and said, "Look. This is the current state of our profession."
Dong Yexi looked at the obvious muscle contours on their arms and was about to speak, but stopped talking.
Are all students in the Department of Sports Medicine so competitive?
Shirabu Kenjiro pushed the food into his hands and said, "So, you should share it with others. No one will eat it if you leave it here."
Dong Yexi had no choice but to take the snacks with him. However, he already had some in the lab, so he took the bag of snacks to the club room.
There are people in the club today.
As soon as Dong Yexi opened the door, he saw a girl with long pink hair cleaning.
"Good morning, President~"
Higashino Xi recalled the list of members he had written down yesterday. She was the secretary, Toyama Mima.
"Good morning." He touched his nose and said, "Can you please stop calling me president? It feels weird."
"If not President, what should we call you?" A cheerful male voice came from behind Dong Yexi, teasing, "If Yuanshan only calls you Senior, how can you distinguish yourself from ordinary members like us?"
Higashino Xi turned around and looked at him and said, "You are not an ordinary member either." Anda Shizuku, vice president.
Toyama Mima said, "Good morning, Vice President."
When Anda Shizuku heard this, she shuddered all over and waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't call me that, it sounds disgusting."
Dong Yexi glanced at him and said, "Hehe."
Adachi Shizuku's cheeks flushed slightly: "I didn't expect this name to be so embarrassing."
Dong Yexi said coldly: "Do you feel the pain when an arrow pierces your body?"
Adachi Shizuku touched his nose awkwardly. He looked down and noticed what Higashino Hi was holding. He said in surprise, "Oh, there's something delicious! Is it for us?"
Dong Yexi handed him the bag: "Yes, it's for everyone. Take whatever you want to eat."
Anda Shizuku put the bag on the table and asked Toyama Mima to help her choose.
"By the way, have you finished your application to join the club?" Anda Shizuku opened a bag of snacks and said while eating.
"There are still a few more, and they can be done in the morning." Higashino Hiroshi sat in his seat, took out the processed application form, and handed it to Anda Shizuku.
"As long as you're sure." Anda Shizuku said incoherently, biting a squid tentacles in her mouth.
"How is the interview arranged?" Dong Yexi asked again.
Adachi Shizuku: "It's up to you to decide."
Higashino Hi: ...
He reached out and pinched Anda Shizuku's puffy cheeks, saying viciously, "I make all the decisions, so what's the point of having you as the vice president?"
Anda Shizuku said incoherently: "If you don't like it, you can just remove me~"
Higashino Hi: ...
Toyama Mima said, "Senior Adachi, please stop saying that. There are many members applying to join the club this year. If you want to give up your position, someone will be here to take your place soon!"
Anda Shizuku said nonchalantly, "Then just give it to him. I don't care about this title."
Anda Shizuku is a student majoring in archival studies. She joined the club to learn how to organize archives and has no interest in managing the club.
Dong Yexi felt that the place he should join most was the library.
Anda Shizuku refused: No, there is too much work in the library, he can't slack off!
"Then you give up your position to Matsuzaki? You're about to graduate anyway, so it's okay for you to give up your position early~" Toyama Mima teased.
Anda Shizuku immediately retorted: "No way! I can't let that kid get ahead of me!" He was already a senior, his last year.
Matsuzaki Tetsu is the club accountant and a junior in the Finance Department. He and Adachi Shizuku are not sworn enemies, but they just don't mesh well.
By the way, Yuanshan Meizhen is a secretarial major and is also a junior.
The three of them, plus Higashino Hiroshi, are the managers of the entire Criminal Psychology Research Society. There are also a few old members who don't care about anything and don't show up for a week.
"By the way, why are there so many people applying to join the club this year?" Anda Shizuku flipped through the application forms and asked in confusion, "This must exceed the total number of members in the past, right?" It is considered good if the research club can recruit three to five people each year, but this year there are more than fifty application forms.
"Don't you know?" Seeing their puzzled expressions, Toyama Mima explained, "When former president Kaneda was recruiting new members, he said, 'This is my last time as president. This time, we must do a good job of promoting and lay a solid foundation for Tono.' Then he printed Tono-san's photo on the club's flyers."
The two looked at her in surprise.
Dong Yexi asked in confusion, "But I don't see my photo on the recruitment notice."
Toyama Mima: "It's only printed on flyers. Recruitment announcements on bulletin boards should be more formal."
Dong Yexi asked with a troubled look on his face: "Does anyone want this?"
Yuanshan Meizhen nodded: "Of course not, we printed 500 copies and sent them all out!"
Dong Yexi's expression froze, and he asked in disbelief, "How much did you say?"
"Five hundred. That's not even enough! Many freshmen come to us specifically to ask for them!" Toyama Meizhen said regretfully, "It would be better if we printed more. But President Kaneda said that this is just the right amount now, and if we print more, they'll be worthless."
Dong Yexi was struck by lightning.
He didn't expect that the former president would actually trick him like this and use him to recruit new members!
"Hahaha! That means that Higashino's photo may have passed through the hands of five hundred or even more freshmen?" Anda Shizuku laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Sure, sure, I'll help you with free publicity. This class of freshmen will definitely remember you! Hahaha~" He said while patting Higashino Xi's shoulder.
Dong Yexi held his forehead speechlessly.
He said: "No wonder I saw many people writing in their applications, 'I came for the handsome guys', 'I want to see the handsome little brothers'... I was wondering who is so popular?"
Anda Shizuku covered her mouth: "Pfft! It's you!"
Dong Yexi rolled his eyes and said, "I refuse this kind of thing."
Adachi Shizuku wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, "Huh? Why?"
"It's obvious that these people don't really want to join the club; they're just there for the fun. This has a bad influence on students who want to seriously study criminal psychology."
Toyama Mima weakly raised her hand and said, "But, few of us old members are doing serious research..."
Higashino Hi: ...
He coughed lightly and said, "Don't say such things in front of the freshmen in the future."
Adachi Shizuku nodded: "I understand. I have to act serious and professional!"
Higashino glanced at him and couldn't help but feel worried for Hatori Yui. The nature of this club was evident from this group of unreliable people. He wondered if his junior would be able to learn anything here.
When the three of them were chatting happily, a girl suddenly walked in from outside the door.
She was wearing a red halter dress, with big wavy flax-brown hair and fiery red lips. She looked very imposing and looked like someone who was not to be messed with.
In fact, she does have a bad temper.
After entering the room, Hoshimoto Kana glanced around and said, "Just the three of you?"
Toyama Mima said, "No one else has arrived today. What's the matter?"
Hoshimoto Kana rolled her eyes: "Can't I come if I have nothing to do? I'm also a member of this club."
"That's not what I meant..." Toyama Meizhen said weakly.
Hoshimoto Kana rolled her eyes again, raised her hand impatiently, and said, "Alright, stop pretending in front of me. I won't fall for it. I'm here to inform you that there will be a farewell party for the president at the Beido Hot Spring Hotel on Friday night. Remember to be there."
Anda Shizuku raised an eyebrow and asked, "Farewell party? Didn't we decide to go to a hot spring resort? Why did we change the location?"
Hoshimoto Kana said disdainfully, "What's so good about that little place? What kind of hot springs can you expect in the wilderness? I don't even know if the water is clean. What if you get a skin disease from soaking in it? If you want to soak in a hot spring, why not just go to the Beido Hot Spring Hotel?" She flicked her long hair, tilted her neck, and said, "I'm paying for it, so I'll just take you out to see the world."
"Oh, and the new members should come too. I don't mind the money~"
After saying that, she walked away twisting her feet in her high heels.
Three people: ...
Adachi Shizuku smacked her lips and said, "Even though I know she's rich, I still want to beat her up!"
Toyama Meima suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't be like that. Although Xingben's words were harsh, he really spent a lot of money."
Adachi Shizuku scratched her head: "I really don't know why this young lady insisted on joining our club."
Mima Toyama: "Is it because of the former president?"
Higashino didn't participate in the gossip between the two. He was just thinking that in the scientific world, Kana Hoshimoto seemed to be a character in the death reserve, and there was a high probability that she would be killed by her "best friend"!
I don’t know who would be more dangerous if both of them were present at the same time.
