Chapter 71 Chapter 71 I have always liked
During their freshman year, everyone in Kan Zhao's dorm joined the anime club. Lü Daichun was drawn in by the other three because he was interested.
Kan Zhao didn't care which one to sign up for. He was busy chasing people and originally planned to go to the one with less trouble. It was well known that the animation club only had occasional sign-ins.
In fact, the club is just as quiet as rumored, but the people in the group are quite noisy, chatting about everything from a certain cat girl to a certain dimensional princess, from early morning to late at night, without stopping.
It’s no big deal, just don’t disturb me.
But since the previous president stepped down and Lu Dai, who was popular with the people, took office, Kan Zhao has been harassed by him from time to time.
Or, "Dad, please help me with the roster next time."
Or, “Dad, please scan the QR code for them when we sign in tonight.”
Although most of the time the result is just a "get lost", the frequency is high. 90 out of 100 times I get rejected, but at least 10 times I get annoyed by the pestering and agree.
As for why we must find Kan Zhao to do the job.
First, I'd like to commend President Lu Dai for his dedication and commitment. Anime isn't a popular hobby among the entire school population, so compared to other clubs like hip-hop, calligraphy, skateboarding, and anime, the number of applicants is extremely low, especially for girls. The gender ratio is seriously imbalanced.
When handing over the position, Lu Dai heard from the former president that there were many more girls signing up for their class than usual, and most of them seemed to have come because they heard that a handsome guy had joined the club.
For the sake of unity, friendship, and maintaining relationships among the members of the society, Kan Zhao was harassed by Lu Dai time and time again.
Lu Dai did not clearly express his true intentions. If that were the case, he would have been ruthlessly rejected by Kan Zhao.
It was just to let Kan Zhao participate in more activities, but it was nothing more than using tricks like coaxing and pestering, and asking him to call him daddy.
*
For this team building activity, Lu Dai booked a large private room in the KTV.
Kan Zhao initially thought it was just an ordinary gathering, but when he approached, he saw a group of people carrying gifts and decorating the private room with lights and decorations. After asking, he learned that this team-building event was purely for the birthday of a girl in the club.
The girl was a bit of a celebrity in the cosplay world, and she was quite popular in Lü Dai's club, with both boys and girls liking her. Beforehand, Lü Dai had secretly created a group and added everyone except the birthday girl, including Kan Zhao. The group was buzzing for days, discussing the details of the surprise.
However, Kan Zhao turned on the Do Not Disturb mode and didn't pay any attention, which led to a misunderstanding.
Since he was here, he joined everyone in making the arrangements. After finishing the work quickly, Kan Zhao wanted to go back early.
When it was almost done, the heroine would appear, just at the time Lu Dai informed her.
Le Yao pushed the door open and several people rushed out from behind it, firing streamers. Someone turned off the lights and sang birthday songs. A girl pushed a cake over, the candlelight flickering. Le Yao was surprised and happy, tears welling up in her eyes.
Afterwards, the cake was cut and photos were taken. Once the ceremony was over, the crowd dispersed into groups, singing karaoke, playing board games, and teaming up for five-person team games to rank up...
Le Yao was quite popular. After everyone took their group photos, they flocked to give her gifts, which quickly piled up on the coffee table.
Kan Zhao hadn't thought of offering to send her off. It wasn't that they were unfamiliar with each other, but rather that they didn't know each other at all. He was also too lazy to socialize.
Kan Zhao lowered his head to clean up the pictures on his phone, most of which were screenshots, including some supporting materials about the recent comprehensive assessment.
Then he discovered that every few pictures, there were photos of Lin Qingxu mixed in. These were all secretly taken by him when she wasn't paying attention.
The angles are all mixed, and I guess if she finds out, she’ll order it to be deleted.
Thinking of this, Kan Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
"Senior."
A soft voice came from above his head. Kan Zhao looked up and saw Le Yao standing in front of him at some point.
The woman clasped her hands nervously in front of her, her fingertips turning slightly white from the strain, her cheeks flushed, and even her neck was covered in a thin layer of pink.
The birthday boy came to see him on his own initiative, so it would be unreasonable for Kan Zhao not to give him a gift.
A decent person after all.
However, there was nothing on his body that could be used as a gift, except for the wishful string on his wrist that Lin Qing had promised him during the college entrance examination. Naturally, he couldn't give that to him.
You can't say that I didn't want to celebrate your birthday before, so I didn't prepare a gift.
A decent person after all.
Kan Zhao said happy birthday to her and made the excuse that he forgot to bring a gift, saying, "I'll give you a red envelope."
Le Yao's face turned even redder, thinking Kan Zhao had misunderstood her as someone who came specifically to ask for a gift. She stumbled and hurriedly explained, "No."
But she felt that since Kan Zhao hadn't said it directly, her explanation was simply a cover-up. She could only whisper, "We've added each other as friends before..." Regarding the word "sweep" in the latter sentence.
Kan Zhao didn't remember there was such a person among his friends, nor did he care much about it.
It might be that Lu Dai had assigned him something to do before, so the two of them added him.
"Besides..." Le Yao mustered up the courage to look at him, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "Senior, wishing me a happy birthday is already the best gift I can give you."
Kan Zhao had experienced this before. He realized something and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Dai interrupted him and dragged him to play a card game, including the birthday boy.
It's the King's Game.
Kan Zhao was already adept at this. However, he was uninterested throughout the entire process, sitting comfortably in the safe zone. Occasionally, he'd get the King, and he'd just randomly pick a couple of numbers and ask bland questions like, "What did you have for lunch?" and "What did you have for dinner?" The big dare was to have someone sing a song.
But as the hours wore on, his patience wore thin. He'd originally hoped to finish quickly, end things quickly, and return home quickly. But he hadn't expected this group of people to have even more energy. With his patience exhausted, he became more casual in his moves. He had bad luck and was called out a few times.
The questioner was clearly well prepared, and the question was direct and pointed: "Senior Kan Zhao, do you have someone you like?"
Kan Zhao glanced at Lu Dai and Zhang You at the table. He thought they were big mouths, but it turned out that they didn't let any of the news out?
Kan Zhao didn't hesitate and answered frankly, "Yes."
A single, clear word stirred up ripples. Low gasps and whispers erupted from the crowd.
The questioner struck while the iron was hot and followed up with a follow-up question: "How long have you liked her?"
Kan Zhao suddenly thought of the photos he had just backed up, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Le Yao looked carefully and saw that his expression had become softer than before.
Then listen.
"I always have."
"Wow!" The whole audience erupted in laughter and speculation. This was too much information.
Originally, this was Kan Zhao's private matter, so after Lu Daizhangyou and others knew about it and met the real person, they still did not spread it.
Seeing Kan Zhao like this, he knew a little bit about it. After all, they used to live in the same dormitory, so someone asked Lu Dai if they knew about this. Lu Dai no longer concealed it and even described Lin Qingxu's appearance vividly. I still remember the first glimpse of her when I first met her.
…
Different from the cheerful noises of teasing and cheering around him, Le Yao's expression became gloomy after hearing that Kan Zhao had someone he liked, especially the last sentence. The joy of celebrating his birthday just now was gone.
Kan Zhao ignored the noise around him. He looked at the time and it was almost dawn.
After all, Lin Qingxu was still alone at home, and after what happened to Wang Shu a while ago, Kan Zhao felt uneasy at the moment.
The game continues.
When they were having fun, Kan Zhao sent a message to Lu Dai, asking him when it would end.
Lu Dai replied in a while.
Obviously an invalid answer.
At this time, No. 6 Kan Zhao had been called by the king to his number plate.
The king was a girl who was roommates with Le Yao and they had a good relationship. At that moment, she had a sly smile on her face and her eyes flickered between Kan Zhao and Le Yao.
Kan Zhao, as usual, wanted to use the truth to get by, and said three words lightly: "The truth."
"No, no!" the king objected immediately, his voice rising with deliberate exaggeration. "Senior Kan Zhao, how many times have you chosen truth or dare? There's nothing new about it. We have to try something different! Don't you agree?"
The crowd, eager to watch the fun, immediately chimed in, filling the box with boos. Lu Dai, even more eager to watch the fun, fanned the flames, "That's right! If you're a man, choose the big adventure!"
Kan Zhao was getting a headache from the noise. Seeing the excited faces around him, he curled his lips and said, "Let's take a big risk."
He thought it was just a song or something. After all, he had just said that he had someone he liked. Those big adventures used to deliberately create ambiguity were obviously not appropriate for him now.
But I never thought that the other party would actually do such a thing.
The King girl laughed and said, "Senior No. 6 Kan Zhao and student No. 10, please have a deep, loving gaze. It must last for a full minute! Not even a second less!"
Who is number 10?
Under everyone's gaze, Le Yao raised her hand slightly, her cheeks flushed red under the changing lights, almost bleeding. She obviously hadn't expected it to be her, her eyes full of panic and helplessness, but also expectation.
