Chapter 39
After National Day, the recruitment of new members for clubs and the student union was carried out simultaneously, and the school became much more lively.
Small stalls set up by various clubs can be seen everywhere around the cafeteria. Of course, these are some of the less popular scattered clubs. In order to recruit new members, they have to find new ways to choose places with the largest flow of people.
Most of the clubs set up a stall in the school’s largest central square. Each club is closely connected, forming a spectacular red landscape, attracting many freshmen to come forward for consultation.
The club recruitment lasts for two days, from day to night, so the freshmen have plenty of time to think before making a decision.
It's October, and the temperature hasn't dropped yet. The midday sun is scorching, and there's very little shade in the central square. Going there is like stepping into a steamer: you enter feeling refreshed and leave drenched in sweat.
So, after lunch, Zhou Jingmeng suggested going to the Central Square to see the situation, but Lin Jiu decisively refused and went straight back to the dormitory.
With the air conditioner on and sitting comfortably on a stool, Lin Jiu saw the message Wen Min sent her.
Beautiful lady: There are so many clubs, I’m dazzled.
Jiubujiu: Don’t you know how to play the pipa? Join a club.
Beautiful woman: Oh, no! What's the point?! You won't learn anything!
Jiubujiu: [waving hands helplessly].
Jiubujiu: I can’t help you.
Beautiful Woman: Okay, I guess you are confused too... How about I go ask Ji Xin?
Jiubujiu: Yes, that’s good.
After a minute, Lin Jiu felt that he needed to talk about Ji Xin's problem again.
Jiubujiu: By the way...you're not ready to pursue Ji Xin yet, are you?
-
As soon as they entered high school, Lin Jiu felt that Wen Min and Ji Xin were a perfect match in every aspect. They were childhood sweethearts, so she was very optimistic about them.
Later, after becoming friends with Wen Min, it was like being a spectator in disguise.
Moreover, Wen Min vowed that he would pursue Ji Xin in college.
Lin Jiu kept this in mind and secretly looked forward to when they would be together.
During the military training, Lin Jiu and Wen Min were extremely exhausted. So, they tacitly shared the hardship of the daily military training, complained to each other, and did not talk about these things.
After the military training, the two chatted and accidentally touched on this topic. Wen Min said that he was exhausted and needed to take a break, so the two talked about roommates and daily life at school.
After more than ten days of recovery, Wen Min found another excuse and said: National Day is approaching, I need to concentrate on having fun, and I will make plans after the holiday.
So, during the National Day holiday, Wen Min went home and returned to school with Ji Xin without any burden, and spent the seven-day holiday carefree.
Lin Jiu is a person who takes action immediately when he has an idea, and he can't stand others procrastinating the most.
If Wen Min was not far away in Jinghe City, she would have stared at her with a deathly gaze for at least an hour.
-
After a few minutes, Wen Min seemed to have finally made up his mind and decided not to delay any longer.
Beautiful woman: [rolling].
Beautiful lady: Although I am mentally prepared and have made a little determination, I don’t know how to pursue her!
Lin Jiu looked at the message for a few seconds, and she immediately thought of the video she had recorded when Liu Qing was confessed to.
Jiubujiu: [Video].
Jiubujiu: Don’t chase her anymore, just confess your feelings like in this video.
After a few seconds, Wen Min replied: No way! Is it so simple and crude?
Jiubujiu: Use this method to deal with Ji Xin, otherwise what if he doesn’t even know what you are doing?
Beautiful lady: You are right, he is sometimes really a little bit stupid.
Beautiful woman: [crying].
Beautiful lady: What if I fail?
Jiubujiu: I failed. Just see if there are any other handsome guys in your school. Don’t waste your time on Ji Xin.
Although she thinks Wen Min and Ji Xin are a good match, if Ji Xin really doesn't make up her mind, maybe Wen Min can be replaced by someone better.
Beautiful girl: No, I want Ji Xin.
Jiubujiu: Let’s talk about it after we fail, and then we can think of a solution.
Beautiful woman: Okay, I've made up my mind! I won't back down this time!
Beautiful woman: [clenching fist].
Jiubujiu: Contact us anytime.
As soon as I turned off my phone, Zhou Jingmeng and Liu Qing came back together.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Jingmeng stretched out his hands to greet the cold air and exclaimed, "It's really cool in the dormitory. It's really not a place for people to stay outside!"
Liu Qing lowered his head and walked around Zhou Jingmeng, "Lin Jiu, you are still smart. You didn't go to the Central Square."
Lin Jiu turned his head to look at them and found that both of them were holding a few flyers in their hands. He stretched out his hand to Liu Qing who was approaching, "Let me see."
Liu Qing put all the flyers in his hand into her hands, "Look, there's actually nothing valuable in it." Then he walked to the table and sat down.
There are three leaflets in total.
Lin Jiu finished reading it in less than a minute. They were recruitment promotions for mathematical modeling, dance club, and chess club.
Looking at the flyer, Lin Jiu asked without turning around, "Are you two holding the same one?"
Stopping at the door and washing his face, Zhou Jingmeng, who had finally cooled down, walked towards her and said, "It's the same."
Lin Jiu looked up at Zhou Jingmeng who was moving: "Have you signed up?"
"No," Liu Qing said, "We looked at it for a while and decided to think about it again and go back to see it in the evening."
Lin Jiu: "Call me in the evening and I'll go with you."
Zhou Jingmeng turned around and gave her an OK gesture, "I'll definitely call you. By the way, I'll also invite Tang Yazhi along."
Lin Jiu nodded, it was nice to live with four people in the dormitory.
-
"I'm so tired." Zhou Jingmeng sat down on the chair.
As for the other three people who came back from the central square, they were too lazy to say a word and just leaned back in their chairs to rest.
Zhou Jingmeng couldn't help but complain to the three of them, "There's not a single handsome guy in the square?! It's okay during the day, but at night when the atmosphere is at its peak, there are barely any decent looking ones. Come on, if there aren't even a few handsome guys for enrollment, who would want to join the club?"
Lin Jiu tilted his head and looked at her: "Even though you didn't see any handsome guys, you still signed up, and you signed up for three!"
Tang Yazhi added, "That's right, someone signed up for a club that sounded like it had more boys in it."
Liu Qing opened her mouth, then closed it again. She wanted to save face for Zhou Jingmeng, but she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Jingmeng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth, "I definitely have to join a club with more boys. Otherwise, with the few boys in my class, I'll be single for four years of college. I'm helpless too. I can only hope that there's a handsome guy among the freshmen. At least now it seems that this is a wise choice."
It is indeed a wise choice.
Basketball club, Taekwondo club and Street Dance club sound like they are likely to produce handsome guys, but I don’t know if there are any.
Lin Jiu glanced at her and said, "I hope good luck will come to you."
Tang Yazhi: "I second the motion."
Liu Qing: "I second the motion."
Zhou Jingmeng wanted to cry but had no tears. "You are so perfunctory!" After saying that, she lay on the table and sobbed.
Liu Qing immediately came to her side and patted her gently, "Don't cry, it's okay if you can't find a partner."
Hearing this, Zhou Jingmeng looked up at her and said with a pout, "You already have a boyfriend, is it appropriate to say that?"
Tang Yazhi glanced at Liu Qing and said, "Go back to your seat and ignore her."
Liu Qing glanced at Zhou Jingmeng's expression and found that she was not really angry. He replied softly, "Okay."
The dormitory immediately returned to silence.
They have all chosen their clubs today and joined groups, so they actually all have things to do.
Lin Jiu looked at the 99+ messages in the three groups, and for a moment he didn't know which group to click into.
She really didn't know where these people got so much to say.
This time she directly chose three clubs, namely the dance club, volunteer association and Go club.
She had no chance to learn any special skills since she was a child.
After a brief stroll, I decided to start learning dance. The volunteer association sounded like a place where I could do something meaningful and also earn some Su Tuo points.
As for the Go club, Chen Miao mentioned it when she was chatting with him during the afternoon break.
He said that he used to play chess with Chen Ze often and he really enjoyed the pleasure of swallowing up other people's chess pieces.
After listening to Chen Miao's brief introduction to the rules of Go, she became interested and thought this club was good.
Later, seeing that she was very interested, Chen Miao decided to join the club with her and give her a first introduction.
-
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiu simply read the group messages one by one in the order of joining the club to avoid missing any useful information.
While browsing the messages in the Volunteer Association group, she suddenly received a message from Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng: Are you interested in joining the school student union?
Coming to the Student Union, this statement...
Lin Jiu felt that Qin Zheng should be in the school student union.
Thinking about the fact that she had joined three clubs, she felt too busy to handle it.
Just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly remembered that Liu Qing had said he wanted to join the Publicity Department of the Student Union. She turned to Liu Qing and asked, "Are you thinking of joining the Publicity Department? I've added a junior, maybe I can get some information for you."
Liu Qing nodded. "My boyfriend is the head of the Propaganda Department. No need to trouble you."
Lin Jiu: "So you went there for him?"
Liu Qing slowly shook his head. "No, I just thought that with him there, it would be easier for me to get in. After all, there will be a lot of competitors. I heard that joining the student union requires two rounds of interviews."
Lin Jiu: "Okay, I understand."
Just as she was about to type a refusal, Zhou Jingmeng suddenly called her over, looking excited: "You also know a senior from the junior year?"
Lin Jiu turned around and said, "I wouldn't say I know you, I've only met you a few times. What's wrong?"
"I want to give it a try," said Zhou Jingmeng.
Lin Jiu carefully looked at Zhou Jingmeng's expression, which seemed to be true. "Can you handle it?"
"I'm busy enough."
Liu Qing looked at Zhou Jingmeng enthusiastically and said, "I can send you the information that Tan Tian gave me, and we can prepare it together."
Zhou Jingmeng: "That's fine too."
Lin Jiu: "That's great. This way I don't have to owe anyone a favor."
So she immediately edited the message to reject the offer: Thank you, senior, but I have no intention of doing so.
Before the message was sent out, Qin Zheng sent another message.
Qin Zheng: How about we add each other on WeChat? I use WeChat more often now, so you can contact me if you have any questions in the future.
After seeing this sentence, Lin Jiu deleted the message in the dialog box and hesitated, not knowing what to reply.
She felt that it would be inappropriate to refuse directly.
After all, even though we weren’t very familiar with each other, we were from the same hometown, and maybe we’d meet again in school in the future.
After thinking for a few seconds, she replied: OK.
Qin Zheng: I’ll add you.
Lin Jiu took a screenshot of the QR code on WeChat and sent it to her. Not long after, she received a verification message and clicked on it.
Qin Zheng’s profile picture is a bamboo forest, and his nickname is Qin Zheng, so there is no need to change it at all.
After passing, Qin Zheng directly switched to WeChat.
Qin Zheng: Don’t you really want to join the student union?
Jiubudujiu: I have signed up for too many clubs and don’t have much time.
Qin Zheng: Okay.
