Chapter 766: 749, the club is recruiting new members! (1)
Pu Sangzhi slept all afternoon, snuggled up in Huo Feng’s arms, feeling very content and satisfied.
They left Ye Xi’s dormitory around 7:00 p.m., and before leaving, they cooked another postpartum meal for the chubby orange cat.
The chubby orange cat was very comfortable staying there, whether it was eating or caring for its kittens. However, the orange cat didn’t know that Pu Sangzhi and the others were planning how to rehome its kittens.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng rode their bikes back, and on the way, the two discussed how to distribute the other four kittens.
In the end, Huo Feng still insisted on taking all four!
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t out-argue him, so she let him have his way.
But, deep down, Pu Sangzhi was scheming that once he got tired of caring for them or didn’t want to take responsibility, she’d have to rehome the kittens...
Because she didn’t trust him.
...
After returning to the dormitory in the evening, her roommates also discussed which clubs they wanted to sign up for at next week’s society recruitment.
Pu Sangzhi wasn’t very interested in societies; she hadn’t joined a single one during high school.
However, with Huo Feng and her dorm mates showing such strong interest, Pu Sangzhi decided to join a society, if only to enrich her spare time.
The societies girls liked differed quite a bit from those that boys were interested in.
Minal wanted to join the photography society, dance society, and film appreciation and critique society, among others...
Wei Zixuan wanted to join the tea culture society, mystery society, and Sino-French exchange society, among others...
Mu Mu was more reserved, and she only wanted to join the classical music society.
When it came to choosing a society, there were significant divisions among the girls in the dormitory.
Therefore, after Pu Sangzhi came back in the evening, they all engaged in a heated discussion about this topic, which had been going on for an hour or so.
The more they discussed, the more everyone stuck to their own preferences, with no one willing to back down, each trying to convince the others to join them.
Listening to their ongoing discussions, Pu Sangzhi decisively said, "Then let’s not stick together, let’s each choose our own. We’re all adults, we don’t need to be constrained like that, developing our own interests is the main point of joining clubs."
After all, Pu Sangzhi was the soul of the dormitory!
With just one sentence, she caused the three girls to fall silent. In the following few seconds, all three looked at each other, unsure of what would be appropriate to say...
Dressed in pajamas, Pu Sangzhi picked up her phone and walked to her bed. Once she was seated, she looked at the three girls with awkward expressions and asked, "Is there a problem with what I said?"
"No."
Minal shook her head.
But Minal quickly continued the conversation, saying, "Sangzhi, are you sure we should all sign up for different clubs? What if I want to join the same ones as you all?"
"The purpose of club activities is to cultivate personal interests. Everyone has different preferences, so of course it’s best not to be bound by others, to not force oneself."
Pu Sangzhi explained to Minal, "For example, if you want to learn to dance, but I’m stiff and terrible at it, I can’t join a club I’m really not able to learn, just for your sake, can I?"
"Ah..."
Minal sounded regretful, "Okay then, what club do you want to join?"
After thinking it through, Pu Sangzhi nodded affirmatively and said, "On the way, I discussed it with Huo Feng. I’ll join the Wilderness Association with him, so I can go out into the wild with him, see different places, which is also good for health. Besides that, I want to join a public welfare society. Huo Feng probably won’t be interested in that, and I won’t force him to be involved."
Wei Zixuan, on the opposite bed, was surprised, "A public welfare club, huh? Have you really thought it through, Sangzhi? I don’t think many people are interested in public welfare clubs!"
Minal also said, "Right, you’ll probably be volunteering, right? It’s a thankless job!"
In fact, earlier that afternoon, the counselor had sent a list of all the clubs to the group for everyone to preview...
There really weren’t many students interested in the public welfare clubs. One might even say there were none!
Everyone was discussing which interests to pursue, which clubs would be beneficial for them, which clubs had lots of girls...
But no one was discussing public welfare clubs.
Which societies fall under public welfare? There’s the National Flag Guard, Public Security Service Team, Loving Heart Society, International Exchange Society, Sign Language Club, Psychology Association, Small Animal Protection Association, Vegetarian Culture Society, Educational Poverty Alleviation Society, and more...
In this area, the clubs really had no takers!
Not a single person mentioned wanting to join a public welfare club!
Pu Sangzhi was the only one.
At least, for the time being in this dorm, she was the only one!
Pu Sangzhi herself was very clear about this goal and said, "I just took a look, I might choose between the Small Animal Protection Association and the Sign Language Club. Either to serve special groups of people or to take care of stray animals. Although these things have no benefits, they can bring me joy, and that’s the reason..."
As a child, Pu Sangzhi’s father taught her that to be human is to remain kind.
No one chooses public welfare societies. That’s the best...
Pu Sangzhi was both after some peace and quiet and wanted to do a daily good deed.
Whether it was tiring was secondary, she just hoped to do something that made her happy.
After Pu Sangzhi finished speaking, the girls in the dorm looked at her with new respect.
At this moment, Mu Mu, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up, "The Small Animal Protection Association seems pretty good, let’s sign up together?"
"Sure."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "It’s just that we can’t keep a cat in the dorm now. You can also have the chance to be in contact with more small animals through another channel."
When Pu Sangzhi mentioned ’we can’t keep a cat in our dorm’, Minal beside her bunk bed couldn’t help but snickered shyly...
Suddenly!
As if struck by a thought, Minal jumped over two beds, grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s arm, and with wide eyes said, "Hey! Sangzhi! Your that... Brother Ye Xi, did he join any societies? Help me find out!"
It seemed Minal wanted to join the same society as Ye Xi to have more chances to interact with him.
However, Pu Sangzhi regretfully answered her: "Brother Ye Xi is already doing his PhD, he is not in any societies, and has also stepped down from the student council. Now you can only catch a glimpse of him in the Youth League Committee. But he’s also very busy, apart from attending meetings, he hardly partakes in any Youth League activities."
"Ah..."
Minal sighed with disappointment, "Just my luck, I start university and he’s already doing his PhD, how did this happen..."
Seeing Minal’s disappointed look, Pu Sangzhi replied with a smile: "Brother Ye Xi just started his direct PhD program this year; he still has several years to go. However, I would still advise you to think it over, as Brother Ye Xi’s personality doesn’t really suit you. Sun Yifeng’s personality is the one that truly fits you."
"I don’t want to be with Sun Yifeng!"
Minal waved her hand dismissively, "Sun Yifeng can only be a bro, always a bro! Your Brother Ye Xi is different, I fell in love with him at first sight~ I still remember his handsome face... Oh my..."
As she said "Oh my," Minal shyly cupped her cheeks, the sprouts of a young girl’s thoughts blossoming in her chest. Her world was in the season of spring...
Wei Zixuan couldn’t bear to watch any further, she pointed directly at Minal, then spoke to Pu Sangzhi: "This girl, as soon as she returned to the dorm today, she kept prattling on and on about how handsome ’Brother Ye Xi’ is! She’s been saying it all afternoon, as if she were bewitched!"
Mu Mu also chimed in to Pu Sangzhi: "She says she’s going to chase after your Brother Ye Xi, he’d better be on his guard."
"Exactly..."
Minal nodded without denying it, "I must chase Brother Ye Xi. I have to catch him! I want to take him back to the grasslands to marry~"
Pu Sangzhi watched Minal with speechlessness, thinking to herself: She’s thinking way too much!
Given Brother Ye Xi’s personality and temper, he’s likely to leave her heartbroken...
Pu Sangzhi knew that although Brother Ye Xi was usually a gentle person, he did not spare any feelings when rejecting his suitors.
Minal was probably going to get hurt...
Pu Sangzhi didn’t feel right stopping her.
...
Soon, a week passed by in study.
Come weekend, the student society recruitment activities officially began...
In front of the gates of Taoli Garden and Zijing Garden, as well as along the main thoroughfare of Zijing District, a unified recruitment event for the societies called "Green Recruitment" was being held.
A total of more than 130 societies joined this recruitment event, each society had set up a big red canopy, and the senior students displayed the characteristics of their respective clubs on tables, or flaunted their banners, actively recruiting new members.
On the recruitment corridor spanning over 200 meters, the crowd was bustling and lively.
There were about ten thousand students present!
Pu Sangzhi walked with several girls from her dorm, a few boys from Huo Feng’s dorm, and Sun Yifeng’s crowd amidst the dense throng of people...
The scenes brimming with enthusiasm and the clamorous sounds of recruitment calls warmed the blood of all the new students.
