Chapter 765: 748, which club should I go to show off? (1)
In the afternoon, the sun was fierce outside, and inside the room was a stifling heat, suggesting that it might rain in the next two days.
The current temperature changes with the rain. After a shower, the temperature would drop a few degrees, gradually moving into autumn, into winter...
Because of the weather, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng didn’t want to move, nor did they want to go anywhere. They spent the entire afternoon just lying on Ye Xi’s bed, resting.
Of course, they didn’t use Ye Xi’s quilt casually. The quilt was still nicely folded to one side, and they were just lying on the bed sheet, enjoying the electric fan while comfortably chatting and playing with their phones.
Pu Sangzhi’s head rested on one of Huo Feng’s arms, and the comfortable room temperature and atmosphere made her feel drowsy.
As her eyelids grew heavier and were about to close, Huo Feng, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly asked her, "Sangzhi, we have to sign up for clubs next weekend. Have you decided what club you want to join?"
Narrowing her sleepy eyes, Sangzhi weakly replied due to her drowsiness, "I’ll see when the time comes."
Huo Feng asked her again, "Then, do you have any particular clubs in mind? I’ll sign up for the same ones as you."
Sangzhi shook her head and promptly dozed off, droning, "I don’t have any particular club I want to join. I’ll see when the time comes..."
"Our counselor sent a general list of clubs. Take a look, let’s discuss it..." Huo Feng suggested.
But just after he spoke, he turned his head to see her dozing off, a sleep-heavy expression on her face.
Huo Feng then pursed his lips, quietly closed his mouth and silently perused the list of clubs by himself.
Tsinghua’s student clubs are incredibly diverse!
Far richer than in high school, they practically cover every industry project imaginable.
The clubs are broadly categorised into six types: sports, arts, culture, scientific innovation, quality development, and public welfare.
Within these six categories, there are very detailed divisions for each type of club.
For example, under sports, the branches include: Swimming Enthusiasts Association, Tai Chi Association, Chinese Chess Association, Ping Pong Association, Inline Skating Enthusiasts Association, Martial Arts Association, Purple Light International Chess Association, Volleyball Association, Tennis Association, Bodybuilding Association, Aerobics Association, Billiards Association, Bridge Association, Wilderness Association, Orienteering Association, Go Association, Green Field Association, Marathon Enthusiasts Association, Baseball and Softball Enthusiasts Association, Taekwondo Association, Bowling Association, Fencing Association, Basketball Association, Shuttlecock Association, Cycling Enthusiasts Association, Cricket Association, Karate Association, Badminton Association, Aquatic Sports Association, Four-Nation Chess Association, Waist Flag Football Association, Diving Association, Skiing Association, Triathlon Association, Wu-Style Tai Chi Association, Golf Association, Frisbee Enthusiasts Association... and so on!
Beyond that, the other major categories have similarly detailed branches.
Huo Feng found it challenging to choose as he looked over the list, overwhelmed by the options!
There were many clubs that Huo Feng was interested in just by looking at them...
For example, from the sports category, he was very interested in golf, martial arts, and inline skating!
And from arts, there were street dance, next-gen anime, and drama society...
Even in the culture category, which he was least interested in, there were clubs he liked, such as: Magic Enthusiasts Association...
It was a real smorgasbord!
After careful and thorough review of the club list, Huo Feng still found so many clubs he wanted to join!
But he had set a rule for himself, at most, at most! He would join three clubs! Two would be the best!
Joining too many clubs would be a burden on his university life...
Sigh...
It was the fault of these damn tempting clubs, each one more thrilling than the last! It really made things difficult for someone as proactive as him!
"Sigh..."
Huo Feng sighed with some frustration.
Afterward, the indecisive Huo Feng opened WeChat, found the ’chip-in group’ he created last time, and typed a message in the group: "Sons and daughters, what clubs are you planning to join?"
Sons: Refers to the three single guys in his dorm.
Daughters: Refers to the three single girls in Pu Sangzhi’s dorm.
The purpose of this group was for Huo Feng to foster good relationships between the two dorms and, incidentally, to show off his love life in front of these single dogs.
Not long after, Yong Mu was the first to respond in the WeChat group: "Bro Feng, what are you joining? I don’t have any targets yet."
Soon after, Gu Erhao also chimed in: "Dad Feng, help me look, which clubs have a lot of girls and don’t seem too effeminate to join?"
Gu Yihao then sent a message to Gu Erhao: "Hehe, don’t you already have that waitress chick? What, not satisfied yet?"
Gu Erhao replied to Gu Yihao: "Isn’t the chase still on? Don’t I need to cast a wide net? You got a problem with that?"
The two brothers had recently had some friction because of Gu Erhao pursuing that waitress. Lately, there had been a bit of a charged atmosphere between them, ready to clash at any moment.
Huo Feng didn’t understand why such a trivial matter could escalate into an argument between the two of them. Huo Feng also didn’t want to wade into these muddy waters...
So Huo Feng simply talked about his own topic, "I’ve picked a few clubs, see if any interest you guys. My eyes are going blurry looking at them all, so I’m planning to keep three, and then sign up for two."
Yong Mu: "Ok."
Afterward, Huo Feng sent a bunch of clubs he was particularly interested in joining: "Golf, martial arts, rollerblading, Wilderness Association, next-gen anime, and drama."
Six to choose from, then narrowed down to three, and finally to two.
Originally, Huo Feng had been quite intent on throwing down a challenge at the Street Dance Club. But now with so many club options, he ended up quietly removing the Street Dance Club from his list.
After all, with so many choices, trying out new skills seemed more exciting and motivating for him.
After reviewing the six clubs Huo Feng mentioned, Yong Mu in the chat remarked, "None of these seem to be my cup of tea."
Gu Erhao also commented, "I don’t find any of them particularly interesting either. Are you sure there are more girls in these clubs?"
Gu Yihao added, "Why do they all look so exhausting... However, the anime club does look pretty good. I recommend this one!"
Huo Feng expressed his opinion, "Life is about staying active. Don’t you guys always envy the eight-pack on my stomach? My advice is, sign up for one sports club and one arts club. That’s what club activities are all about, training the body and cultivating the temperament! Stick with it for a few years, and you’re bound to become a charming man!"
Seeing Huo Feng analyze it this way, the guys in the dorm were swayed.
The gullible Gu Erhao was the first to fall for it, "What you’re saying makes so much sense! Though it might be tiring, if I can get abs like yours, it’ll be worth it!"
Huo Feng replied, "Exactly! You need an opportunity for change!"
In reality, Huo Feng was thinking: Hoping to get abs just by joining a club, he’s still too young. I’ll teach him a lesson later.
Gu Yihao also expressed his view, "That said, getting in shape is a good thing. I think the anime club isn’t bad, Feng bro, can we go with the anime club?"
The indecisive Yong Mu was easily swayed by Huo Feng, "So that’s what you think, Feng bro. I like your idea, let’s go with that."
"Humph humph..."
Seeing each one in the chat persuaded by his words, Huo Feng felt incredibly smug.
So for the next half-hour, there was a heated discussion among everyone regarding the six clubs Huo Feng had chosen.
Choosing three out of six wasn’t supposed to be that difficult.
But then, the three girls from Pu Sangzhi’s dorm joined the conversation and just had to offer even more club options...
And then, the six choices instantly turned into twelve choices, which immediately became something of an open casting call...
It left Huo Feng and the entire dorm in the throes of decision paralysis! They just couldn’t make up their minds!
In the end, after much discussion, the girls in the chat started talking about makeup and skincare instead, and the guys silently left the chat...
The discussion on clubs led nowhere!
After putting away his phone, a bewildered Huo Feng let out a deep sigh while staring into the open sky...
The Pu Sangzhi sleeping beside him was totally unaware of his melancholy, deep in slumber.
Huo Feng then turned his head and quietly observed her peaceful sleeping face.
"Oh dear..."
Huo Feng sighed deeply, turned over, and wrapped his arms around Pu Sangzhi’s petite body.
The Pu Sangzhi in his arms snuggled into his chest in a daze, burying her face deeply into the warmth of his torso, finding that coziest spot before finally staying still, continuing to sleep soundly.
Huo Feng liked her pliant and cat-like nature; he curled his lips in a particularly pleased smile...
In that moment, Huo Feng had an epiphany.
He thought that it didn’t matter what anyone else chose, as long as he knew what she was choosing.
No matter the club, he’d just go with her choice!
It was mainly about her, after all!
But...
At that time, Huo Feng didn’t know that when the club selection day came the next weekend, Pu Sangzhi would not let him choose the same club she was joining!
