Chapter 116, Kong Xiyan! You tricked me again!
"Eh~"
Kong Xiyan shivered for no reason, frowned, and rubbed the goose bumps that suddenly appeared on her arms.
"What's wrong, sister?" Zhong Yangyang looked at Kong Xiyan: "Is the air conditioning in the cafeteria too cold?"
"It's okay." Kong Xiyan shook her head: "Can you lend me the divination cup I gave you before?"
"Okay." Zhong Yangyang immediately took out the divination cup she was carrying from a small and exquisite purse with hanging beads and tassels and handed it to Kong Xiyan.
Kong Xiyan took the divination cup and threw it onto the table.
"This..." Zhong Yangyang stared at the divination cup on the table with wide eyes. "This is a Yin cup. The gods and Buddhas won't allow it. It's more likely to cause disaster than good."
Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that the person behind the plot against the Zhong family had finally set his sights on her.
But how powerful is the person behind the scenes? Even the gods and Buddhas don't allow her to confront him head-on, and say that she will be in great danger?
If that’s the case… then we need to use our brains.
So annoying, so tiring to use my brain...
Thinking of this, Kong Xiyan ate another bowl of rice during the meal.
Time passed little by little, and soon the military training for freshmen came to an end, while the recruitment of new members for various university clubs began in full swing.
At noon that day, when Zhong Yangyang met up with Kong Xiyan, she encountered a thick stack of club recruitment flyers stuffed into her hands by her seniors.
"I didn't know Jingcheng University had so many clubs before." Zhong Yangyang propped up his chin with one hand, flipping through the brochures and muttering to Kong Xiyan: "One of my roommates decided to join the drama club, another one is going to join the Go club and the comics club, and the last one is going to join the student union."
"What about you?" Kong Xiyan took a sip of the corn and pork rib soup and looked up at Zhong Yangyang: "Which club do you want to join? Or the student union?"
"I don't know either. I'm not particularly interested in anything." Zhong Yangyang thought for a moment. "I hope to join a club that can improve my personal value, maximize the effect of my time, and make up for my personal shortcomings..."
Kong Xiyan pushed Zhong Yangyang's promotional pages aside and said, "I'll help you choose your club. You can eat first."
Hearing Kong Xiyan's words, Zhong Yangyang's beautiful eyes turned, and she immediately smiled as if she thought of something: "Okay~"
"Hello, are you also a freshman this year?" A boy in military uniform approached Zhong Yangyang and said, "Me too. How about adding me so we can get together later?"
As the boy spoke, he winked and smiled at the boys at the table not far behind him, acting as if he was doing very well.
The boy's companions were also very considerate and gave him a thumbs-up with a playful smile.
"Uh..." Zhong Yangyang was stunned when he heard the voice, and immediately looked at Kong Xiyan for help.
Kong Xiyan received Zhong Yangyang's pleading gaze and glared at the boy: "She doesn't have time, get lost."
"This is a senior, right? Which department are you from? How about we add each other's contact information? I can ask you if you have any questions later." The boy looked at Kong Xiyan and said with a smile, "What should I call you, senior?"
"Me?" Kong Xiyan smiled. "I'm a student at Bo Yi, Kong Xiyan."
"First year doctoral student? Senior, you look about the same age as us, yet you're already a first year doctoral student? Wow...you..." The boy's smile froze on his face as he was halfway through his words: "You said your name is...Kong, Kong Xiyan?"
Kong Xiyan nodded slowly.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Senior Kong, for disturbing you..." The boy seemed to have remembered Kong Xiyan's speech at the freshman assembly. He immediately bowed, turned around and slipped back to the other boys.
I don’t know what the boy whispered to his companions, but all of a sudden, everyone at the table became completely quiet. They quickly finished their meal and left.
"You're so timid, and you're trying to strike up a conversation with someone. How funny." Kong Xiyan sneered, shook her head, and looked at Zhong Yangyang: "And you, hurry up and eat."
"Okay~" Zhong Yangyang pursed her lips, smiling shyly and happily.
Look, how good it is to have a sister. She has her sister to help her with everything, which saves her a lot of worries!
However, this happiness only lasted until the first club meeting. It came to an abrupt end when Zhong Yangyang received a call and went to report to the club meeting room.
After Zhong Yangyang entered, the senior student in charge of meeting sign-in verified her identity and name with her and immediately widened her eyes: "You are Zhong Yangyang!"
As the senior student finished her words, the large conference room that was originally filled with laughter suddenly became quiet.
"Um...it's me." Zhong Yangyang looked around and saw everyone's eyes on her, and she felt a slight tingling sensation on her scalp.
No, is there anything strange about her being Zhong Yangyang?
Why does everyone look at her like this?
At this time, a boy about 1.82 meters tall, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and sports shorts, walked over and extended his hand. "Hello, Zhong Yangyang, my last name is Du, Du Zhong, and I'm the president of our club."
"Hello." Zhong Yangyang recovered and immediately shook hands with Du Zhong.
"Please come and sit here." Du Zhong brought Zhong Yangyang to the front of the conference room. "Have you participated in any competitions before? Have you participated in any national-level competitions?"
"Yes," Zhong Yangyang nodded. She had previously represented No. 1 Middle School in a national English competition and won a gold medal.
When Zhong Yangyang heard what he said, there was a sound of people gasping for breath nearby.
The quiet meeting room immediately became noisy with whispers.
"That's great! Welcome to our big family." Du Zhong smiled and shook hands with Zhong Yangyang again. "I was a little surprised when I saw your application, but I didn't expect you to be a top contender who has won a national gold medal! I'm completely relieved now!"
Zhong Yangyang vaguely felt as if something was amiss. The image of Kong Xiyan's unreliable face immediately surfaced in her mind. She gave a dry laugh and asked, "President Du, my sister actually filled out my application for me. Could you please tell me what she applied for on my behalf?"
"Nothing much," Du Zhong replied with a smile. "It's just seven sports training events in our track and field club, including long-distance running, short-distance running, shuttle runs, triple jumps, and the extreme sport of parkour."
"Huh?" Zhong Yangyang was stunned for a moment when she heard Du Zhong's words.
Du Zhong was clearly speaking the Chinese language she was most familiar with, but why did it sound so niche and unfamiliar?
"Before, I was worried that so many projects would be too much for you, but hearing you say that puts me at ease!" Du Zhong patted Zhong Yangyang's shoulder and smiled generously, "I'm looking forward to your performance! Zhong Yangyang!"
"Um, that, it's not..." Zhong Yangyang was about to explain when someone called Du Zhong away.
Zhong Yangyang stayed where she was, her mind blank. The voices of those around her praising her as a sports prodigy reached her ears, making her feel even more uneasy.
Afterwards, Zhong Yangyang wanted to explain things clearly to everyone, but was accidentally diverted. Until the end of the meeting, Du Zhong even praised Zhong Yangyang in public and said that the entire track and field team was very welcome to Zhong Yangyang's joining.
There was thunderous applause, and Zhong Yangyang froze in his seat, unable to utter a word.
As soon as the meeting ended, Zhong Yangyang rushed to Kong Xiyan, grabbed her collar and shook her vigorously.
"Kong Xiyan! You're tricking me again!"
