Chapter 355 I have someone I like

The literature club's activity room was already packed with people.

Although theoretically, students will automatically withdraw from the club in their third year of high school.

But in fact, if you are no longer interested in the club, it is completely fine to not participate in club activities from the first year of high school.

Therefore, the total number of club members in the first and second year of high school is about seventy, but in fact, there are only about forty people who showed up to participate in the first club activity at the beginning of the school year.

With Xu Youyu's entry, the originally bustling classroom suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the senior schoolmate who was sitting on the podium with great authority, Li Luo couldn't help but look a little dazed.

Turning his head to look at the students below, they quickly stopped whispering under Xu Youyu's gaze and all their eyes were focused on him.

It has to be said that Xu Youyu was quite prestigious when he was in school.

These classmates probably would never have imagined that Xu Youyu was like this at school, but another like this at home, and when he was in Li Luo's bedroom, he had a third unknown face that even Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng had never seen.

When thinking of this, Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu who was sitting on the podium, and some strange emotions rose in his heart.

It makes people feel itchy for some reason.

At this time, Xu Youyu looked at the time on the podium. He was not as serious as he was at the student meeting. Instead, he propped up his chin and smiled: "This is not a place for class, and I'm not a teacher. You can chat or do whatever you want. There are still ten minutes before we start. Why are you so quiet?"

After Xu Youyu finished speaking, the whispers from the audience gradually began to rise again.

However, most of the discussion focused on the president Xu Youyu. In addition, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, who followed Xu Youyu in, also received a certain amount of attention.

Especially those club members who were invited by Li Luo and Ying Chanxi in the past few days, now they all knew their identities as the two vice presidents of the literature club.

The sophomores knew clearly that after National Day, Senior Sister Xu would step down and one of them would be elected president and take over the banner of the literature club.

"Our president is the president of the Student Union, right?" Ai Ke Si, who was sitting in the third row by the window, asked Jiang Liuxian in a low voice.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"So beautiful." Ai Ke Si glanced at Xu Youyu again, then placed his hands on his ordinary chest and couldn't help but sigh, "And it's so big! Much bigger than yours."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Liuxian blushed immediately after hearing what she said, and quickly covered her mouth, "You are so rude, how can you say such things."

"Um... wuwu..." Aikos struggled for a moment, and after breaking free, he immediately said, "I'm just telling the truth, can't you even praise me?"

"But I saw that senior named Li Luo and senior sister Ying Chanxi came in with senior sister Xu."

"Are they vice presidents?"

"Yes." Jiang Liuxian nodded. "After the last registration was over, they came to see me again and confirmed that I would join the company before leaving."

"That means you are indeed the talent that the literature club is looking for." Ai Ke Si said with a smile.

"No way." Jiang Liuxian shook his head and said, "I just got full marks in the Chinese composition in the high school entrance examination. I was just lucky."

"You're just too modest."

The people below were chatting happily. Xu Youyu on the stage looked at the time. When it was one o'clock in the afternoon, he knocked on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, it's already one o'clock, so let's officially start today's activities."

"Today is our first literature club meeting of the new semester, and it is also the first time for our new faces to join our big family."

"I'm glad that you have chosen the Literature Club as the club where you will leave wonderful memories during your high school career."

"The rules of our club are very loose. Apart from the fact that you need to submit a piece of your own work every month, everything else is fine. You can come and go as you please."

"Of course, one article per month is just the bottom line. If you have a strong desire to create, it's fine to submit 100 articles."

“There are no restrictions on genres, poetry, prose, or fiction are all acceptable.”

"After the works are submitted each month, they will be reviewed by Mr. Kong from our literature club. The outstanding works will be selected and published in the monthly magazine of the literature club and distributed to each class for circulation."

“At the end of each semester, there will be a vote on the works in the monthly magazine to select the most popular works of the semester.”

“The top three will also have their names posted on the school bulletin board and receive a small reward.”

At this point, Xu Youyu paused, turned his head and looked at Li Luo who was sitting at a separate desk on the left side of the podium, then smiled and said, "Next, it's the self-introduction session, hosted by our future president Li Luo."

Li Luo coughed twice to clear his throat, but he had nothing to be nervous about.

He didn't take out any list, nor did he follow the traditional way of introducing himself, calling out names one by one and asking them to stand up and speak. Instead, he stood up casually, looked at the boy sitting by the window on the right and said, "Wu Yihang, huh? The top student in Class 1, Grade 1?"

"…Hello, senior." The boy named Wu Yihang was suddenly called by his name. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and nodded, "I am Wu Yihang."

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Li Luo walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and motioned him to sit down. "We just want to chat and get to know each other. There's no need to stand up."

"You like poetry, especially the style of Song Dynasty poetry. You like it very much. When you were in junior high school, you participated in a poetry competition held by the Municipal Writers Association and won the first prize."

"Let's not talk about something too difficult. Which of the poems you learned in junior high school do you like best?"

It was the first time for Wu Yihang to face this way of introducing himself. After a moment's thought, he said, "Qingyu'an, Xin Qiji's Qingyu'an, I like it very much."

"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, there he was, in the dimly lit place?" said Li Luo.

"Yes." Wu Yihang nodded, "But I prefer the line 'The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragons dance all night'. It's very beautifully written."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, and did not continue chatting with him in detail. Instead, he looked at the girl on the other side of the classroom.

The girl happened to also like poetry, so Li Luo smoothly invited her to chat for a while.

This information about each person's literary interests was written when they filled out the application form.

Li Luo read it once and wrote it all down. It was just in time to use it now, so there was no need for everyone to stand up one by one and introduce themselves dryly like in previous years.

Moreover, when you introduce yourself, others may not listen carefully, and even if they do, they may not remember what you say.

But with Li Luo's chatty introduction, no one knew who Li Luo would mention next, so they couldn't help but listen carefully.

The topics that Li Luo talked about were all what the students had filled in on their application forms. They were the topics they thought they liked best, so they talked about them naturally without any obstacles.

So before we knew it, more than thirty freshmen had finished chatting like this.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that they seemed to have formed a preliminary impression of the members around them.

Although I can't call out everyone's name, at least I can remember the names of those classmates who have similar interests as me.

This kind of self-introduction is less tense and more interesting, and the atmosphere seems relaxed and comfortable.

After Li Luo finished talking, everyone looked at him with more admiration.

The future president, who was originally chosen by Xu Youyu with just a word, was finally settled after this self-introduction, and everyone was convinced.

"Okay, I've finished introducing myself." Xu Youyu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Now we've gotten to know each other. Next, we'll move on to the traditional part of our literature club, which is also a special project of our literature club."

As he spoke, Xu Youyu turned his gaze to Ying Chanxi on the right.

Ying Chanxi understood what he meant, and took out a large stack of envelopes and letter paper from the drawer, handed them to Li Luo to distribute, and said to everyone:
"We have a tradition in the literary club, which is writing pen pal letters."

"Whether you want to make friends, talk, or complain and rant."

“We usually have a lot of things we want to say, but there are always people who are unable to speak, or there are things we can’t say, or there is no one around us to share with.”

"So the members of our literature club can write pen pal letters to each other to express their thoughts that they cannot normally share with others."

"For new students in the first year of high school, writing a pen pal letter for the first time, you can choose the pen pal you want to make based on your self-introduction just now."

“There’s no limit to the number of pen pal letters you can write. You can write as many as you want.”

"If you receive a pen pal letter from someone else, you can choose to reply or not. If you reply, you must state whether you accept to be the other person's pen pal."

"If two people agree to exchange pen pal letters, they can write to each other frequently in the future."

"Of course, if the other party refuses the invitation of a pen pal, don't force it. Respecting each other's choice is the most important thing."

After receiving the envelope and letter paper sent by Li Luo, Jiang Liuxian's eyes were quite moved. She looked at her best friend Aikosi beside her, then looked at Li Luo on the stage, pursed her lips, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Ai Kesi next to her glanced at her, then immediately raised his hand and asked, "Senior, can a freshman write a pen pal letter to a sophomore?"

"Sure." Ying Chanxi smiled, then pointed at Xu Youyu, "Seniors from the third year of high school can also do that."

"I won't reply even if I write to you." Xu Youyu held up his chin and laughed, "Don't waste your time on me. I already have a pen pal, I don't need another one."

Offstage, after receiving a positive response, Ai Ke Si whispered to Jiang Liuxian, "Senior sister said yes, are you planning to write to Senior Li Luo?"

"Don't, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Liuxian's fingers tightly grasped the letter paper, and her cheeks blushed as she said, "I didn't say I was going to write to him, why are you making such a wild guess?"

Aikesi curled his lips and said, "We have known each other for many years. I can tell what's written on your face at a glance. Besides, he is indeed a good person."

"Hmm?" Jiang Liuxian blinked, not quite reacting. "Didn't you say a few days ago that he wasn't a good person?"

"Ahem..." Aikos coughed, "When I introduced myself just now, he was quite handsome."

"Really? Sisi thinks so too?"

"Also? Humph, it's finally exposed."

"Um... stop talking."

After the envelopes and stationery were distributed, Li Luo said, "If you need more after you finish writing, just come up to the stage and get them. We have plenty of envelopes and stationery, so you don't have to worry about running out."

After he finished speaking, the classroom fell silent, leaving only the sound of the letter paper rubbing against the table and the pen tip moving across the letter paper.

Li Luo also took out two pieces of letter paper, turned the pen and thought for a moment, then glanced at Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi.

Ying Chanxi was already concentrating on writing a letter. Xu Youyu smiled and leaned his head to look at him. When he saw Li Luo looking at him, he moved to Li Luo's side, leaned on the podium and looked down, and whispered, "I guess you will receive a lot of letters today, at least ten."

"Senior, you are so childish."

"Guess what, isn't it good that you're so popular?"

"If Senior Sister hadn't said that just now, I guess there wouldn't be any less."

"I just want the letter from you and Xixi."

"So do you think I need letters from other girls?"

"I didn't say that the letters were definitely sent by girls. Why did you assume that it was always girls?" Xu Youyu laughed, "You are discriminating against boys. Boys think that you are a great future president, so you can't make friends with them?"

Li Luo: “…”

What Xu Youyu said was not wrong.

In the next half hour, some people finished writing their letters and began to send them to their desired pen pals.

Li Luo soon received letters from three girls, but in addition to them, including Wu Yihang, the first person he named, two boys also wrote pen pal letters to him.

Looking at the five letters on the table, Li Luo was amazed and thought that his charm was really popular with both men and women.

As time passed, by three o'clock in the afternoon, the members of the literature club had finished writing their pen pal letters one after another.

Sitting in the third row by the window, Jiang Liuxian first wrote a letter to Aikos, and then buried his head in writing another one.

But after writing the letter, she did not send it out immediately. She looked troubled for a long time and then wrote another one.

Until some people finished writing their letters and left the classroom one after another, and the number of people was decreasing, Jiang Liuxian finally plucked up the courage and walked to the podium holding the two letters.

"Senior Ying... this, this... is for you." Jiang Liuxian blinked shyly and handed the letter in her hand to Ying Chanxi.

After she accepted it, she walked to Li Luo and handed him another letter, "Senior Li Luo, this, this... um... it's written to you."

"Oh, thank you." Li Luo glanced at Jiang Liuxian, then reached out to take it.

Jiang Liuxian had already used up all her strength after delivering the letter. After seeing Li Luo accept it, she immediately floated back to her seat like a deflated balloon.

"You finally gave it to me, even though you were still being stubborn just now." Ai Ke Si laughed.

"I, I mainly want to thank the seniors for their help over the past two days." Jiang Liuxian said in a low voice, "They helped me a lot with the student union."

"I know, I know." Ecos waved his hand and said, "We can leave after delivering the letter. Shall we leave too?"

"Well... let's go."

Watching people leave the classroom one after another until only the three of them were left, Li Luo finally stretched, handed the two letters he had just written to Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi, and then took the letters written to themselves from them.

"Hmph." Ying Chanxi stuffed all the letters he had received, except for Li Luo's, into his schoolbag, and then put Li Luo's letter into the interlayer of the schoolbag. He stood up and looked at the pile of envelopes on Li Luo's desk, and snorted, "You are really popular, President."

"Why are you being so sarcastic to me?" Li Luo rolled his eyes. "You have collected a lot of them yourself, haven't you? They are all the appreciation of your junior classmates in the first year of high school."

"I also have a girl who sends me letters, okay?" Ying Chanxi pouted.

"Among my fourteen letters, three are from boys." Li Luo put away the letters from Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi separately, and stuffed the rest into his schoolbag. "I won't reply anyway, so I'll just take a look and put them away."

"Well, this is the trouble of being too popular." Xu Youyu shook the three letters in his hand except for Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, and said helplessly, "I just said that, but there are still people who insist on writing to me. It's really a headache."

The three of them put away the letters. Xu Youyu yawned and asked Li Luo, "Are you still going to the Rock Club?"

"correct."

"Then I'll go home first." Xu Youyu looked at Ying Chanxi, "Where's Xixi? Will you go back with me?"

"I want to go to the Rock Club, too." Ying Chanxi said quickly, "Senior, you go back first. Li Luo and I will go over there for a while."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."

The three of them left the activity room together. After seeing Xu Youyu off at the gymnasium entrance, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi walked towards the rock club activity room on the second floor.

At this time, in the activity room.

Niu Qingling warmly welcomed the seven new high school freshmen who had joined the club, and also mentioned Yan Zhusheng as the new president.

As per past years’ practice, the rock club’s first performance was at a parents’ meeting, where they performed for all parents of freshmen.

Then there are the sports meet and the New Year’s Eve party.

After briefly explaining Yan Zhusheng's schedule for this semester, Niu Qingling handed the task of selecting songs to Yan Zhusheng.

Yan Zhusheng had no intention of discussing with the other members and directly decided on the two songs "Under the Flying Clouds" and "The Sky Has No Limits" as the main songs of the rock club this year and started preliminary practice.

However, today is the first gathering of the rock club this semester, and everyone's main focus is to get to know each other.

Moreover, there are many new people joining this time. If we put them together, while Niu Qingling is still here, we can even form the configuration of two bands. This lineup can be called luxurious.

However, Lin Suifeng was obviously a little absent-minded at this time. He glanced at Yan Zhusheng from time to time and was in a very good mood.

He now knew that the senior sister's name was Yan Zhusheng. Niu Qingling had explained it very clearly when she introduced her just now. Lin Suifeng even remembered exactly what the three characters meant.

It's just that Yan Zhusheng didn't seem to be good at speaking. It was basically Niu Qingling who did the talking, and Yan Zhusheng would occasionally agree. After finalizing the performance repertoire, he just asked everyone to familiarize themselves with the score first, without saying too much.

In the entire activity room, apart from Niu Qingling, Xie Shuchen was the only one left to maintain the atmosphere.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Niu Qingling also had a headache.

She actually wanted Li Luo to be the president of the rock club.

After all, with Li Luo's personality and ability, if he could become the president, Niu Qingling would be able to completely relax and entrust Rock Social to others.

But Li Luo had refused before, and Niu Qingling didn't want to force him.

As for Xie Shuchen, he is actually the second choice.

But Xie Shuchen knew his own limitations and felt that Yan Zhusheng was a more suitable candidate.

After all, after a year of performances last year, Yan Zhusheng is the most dazzling one in the rock club in terms of both strength and popularity.

So, under Xie Shuchen's refusal, Niu Qingling had to hand over the important task of president to Yan Zhusheng.

It’s not that Niu Qingling looks down on Yan Zhusheng and is unwilling to choose her.

I just think her personality is not suitable...

For example, now, unless Niu Qingling speaks, Yan Zhusheng will ignore the group of freshmen next to him and is completely in his own state.

This is quite a headache.

If Li Luo was present, it would probably be much better.

Niu Qingling sighed and just hoped that the literature club could hurry up and release Li Luo as soon as possible.

While Niu Qingling was worrying about these things, Lin Suifeng beside her also mustered up the courage to come close to Yan Zhusheng, coughed twice, and greeted her: "Senior Yan, hello, I am Lin Suifeng. I used to meet you on the playground every morning when I was jogging. Do you remember me?"

Yan Zhusheng was humming a song at this time, looking towards the door from time to time, hoping that someone would appear.

After being interrupted by Lin Suifeng, she turned her head to look at him, but did not respond to the other party's greeting. Instead, she tilted her head suddenly and asked, "Do you like me?"

This straight shot made Lin Suifeng stunned on the spot. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say: "This...that..."

"I don't like you." Yan Zhusheng didn't look at him again. He saw two familiar figures outside the window, and his eyes suddenly curved into a happy arc, "And I have someone I like."

"If this is why you joined the club, please leave."

"The rock club doesn't need people like this."

After saying that, Yan Zhusheng couldn't wait to run to the door of the activity room, pushed it open and trotted out.

Only Lin Suifeng was left standing there in a daze, and his back was sweating from the series of attacks from Yan Zhusheng.

His whole face looked a little pale.

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Songhe noticed that something was wrong with him, so he came over and asked with concern, "What did you say to the senior sister?"

"I...I didn't say anything..." Lin Suifeng was confused, with a bit of bitterness and grievance on his face.

"You're not going to confess directly, are you?"

"I am sick. I confessed directly! I just said hello casually." Lin Suifeng gritted his teeth and whispered, "This Senior Sister Yan is too weird. She is so direct. I don't know what to say."

"So that's what I mean." Jiang Songhe nodded, "They may not think highly of you."

"You fucking bastard..." Lin Suifeng grabbed his good brother's neck angrily, "I'm already very hurt, okay, and you're still hurting my heart!"

The two of them were playing around in the activity room.

Yan Zhusheng had already run to the corridor entrance to greet Li Luo and Ying Chanxi who were walking up from downstairs.

"Why are you waiting here?"

"I saw you guys coming from the window." Yan Zhusheng took Li Luo's hand and led him to the activity room. "Acting president, I'll take you to meet the new members of the club. You can get to know them well."

Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, widened his eyes upon seeing this and hurriedly followed. Seeing Yan Zhusheng grabbing Li Luo's wrist, he swallowed and wanted to say something, but Yan Zhusheng had already pulled Li Luo to the door of the activity room and let go of her hand without giving her a chance to speak.

Looking at this scene, Ying Chanxi immediately puffed up his lips and followed him in with a slightly depressed look.
