Chapter 74 Xu Youyu’s personal invitation (asking for monthly tickets!)

In an empty classroom on the sixth floor of the Grade 12 teaching building.

Duan Qintian, president of the Literature Society, glanced at today's club recruitment list.

Generally speaking, most students in the first year of high school will choose a subject they are interested in, join a competition club, and then choose a favorite interest club.

If you are not the kind of literary youth who has a certain filter for literature and likes to read and create, generally few people will sign up for a literary club.

Therefore, the literature club is neither like the math club or the physics club, where there are competition teachers giving individual lessons every day, nor is it like a large club like the basketball club or the animation club, with a large number of members.

Similar to last year, there were only about fifty students who joined the literature club, and more than half of them were students who had won major essay awards or had scored full marks in the high school entrance examination essay.

The number this year is similar, also more than 50, but there is an exception this year. A classmate who scored full marks in the high school entrance examination composition not only did not participate in the recruitment, but also rejected the vice-president's invitation.

"This guy called Li Luo has a bad attitude." Qin Yawei couldn't help but complain as soon as she entered the classroom, "I didn't even say anything, but he just rejected me directly."

"I clearly told you that you only need to submit one manuscript every month, and you don't have to do anything else."

"Our literature club is not like those competition clubs. They have to attend classes all day and have small tests on weekends. He refused to join such an easy club."

"Okay, okay." Duan Qintian waved his hand. "It's not like this hasn't happened before. Maybe they're just not interested."

That being said, the teacher gave a list of 37 people, and Duan Qintian and Xu Youyu had both included the students they were responsible for into the club. Only Qin Yawei missed Li Luo, and she must have felt uncomfortable.

"You just said, what was the name of the person who refused to join the club?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Li Luo, what's wrong?"

"The monitor of Class 8, Grade 1?"

"I don't know if he is the class monitor, but he is definitely from Class 8."

"Oh, so that's it." Xu Youyu chuckled twice, finding it quite interesting.

But she didn't expect that Li Luo would directly refuse.

"Do you know this classmate?" Duan Qintian couldn't help but ask when he saw her reaction.

"So we know each other."

"Then I'd like to trouble you to go and ask for Qin Yawei tomorrow." Duan Qintian was still very confident in Xu Youyu's charm.

As long as Xu Youyu is willing to take action and the other party is a boy, it is basically certain.

When Qin Yawei next to her heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and wanted to say something.

But when she caught a glimpse of Xu Youyu's plump chest and delicate profile, she snorted and stopped talking.

The guy called Li Luo better hold on.

If Xu Youyu had invited him in, Qin Yawei would have definitely looked down on him, thinking he was just an ordinary and vulgar boy.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "But I can't guarantee it will work."

"It's okay. If you really don't want to join, we won't force you." Duan Qintian said, "Then if there's nothing else to do, let's end it. Xu Youyu still has to go home, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Youyu stood up and stretched, already thinking about Li Luo's fried noodles, "Then I'll leave first, bye."

……

Xu Youyu was walking on the way home, breathing the fresh night air, thinking about Li Luo's fried noodles, and his steps were brisk.

In fact, if she wanted, she could move back to the Qianjiang University staff dormitory next door, and her mother would make her midnight snacks.

But compared to the comfort of home, Xu Youyu yearns for the feeling of freedom more.

Her family is a typical scholarly family. She received strict family education since childhood and was influenced by traditional literature for a long time. She was a very good girl when she was young.

But later, I came across online literature by chance and discovered another side of literature that I had never known before, and my personality gradually changed.

Then Xu Youyu discovered that traditional classics are good. The characters and sufferings in those books can make people think and feel melancholy every time they read them.

But reading online articles can bring you absolute and pure happiness.

If traditional literature is the sword that pierces through the hazy veil of reality, then online literature is the wings that fulfill unreal dreams.

But in her father's eyes, the so-called online literature is ultimately just some kind of inferior literary garbage.

If he knew that his daughter was writing this kind of thing, Xu Youyu couldn't dare to imagine that scene.

In order to sign the contract, Xu Youyu secretly took the household registration booklet from his home to make a copy, played two roles to deceive the editor, and then signed the contract using the copy of the household registration booklet.

In order to avoid being discovered while typing, she started laying the groundwork as early as her first year of high school, saying that she would learn to be independent in high school, so she applied to rent a house.

Anyway, the rented house was just opposite Qianjiang University, so his parents agreed.

As for the school's literature club, Xu Youyu had always participated seriously just to meet her parents' needs. Thinking of this, Xu Youyu also found it funny, and knew very well why Li Luo didn't want to join the literature club.

After all, if you have the time, you might as well write a few more chapters.

"Hmm...it smells good." Xu Youyu returned to 1502. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of fried noodles wafting from the kitchen. He couldn't wait to put on his slippers and walked over.

She looked into the kitchen and saw Li Luo stir-frying, so she asked, "Where's Xixi?"

"She went to take a shower." Li Luo responded, "The fried noodles will be ready soon."

"Okay." Xu Youyu responded, went back to the bedroom to put his schoolbag away, turned on the computer, then went back to the kitchen, took out a bag of fruit powder from the refrigerator, and made three cups of juice.

At this time, Li Luo's fried noodles were already out of the pot.

He served a bowl for himself and Xu Youyu, and left Ying Chanxi's portion in the pot, covered with a lid to keep it steamed, to prevent her from taking too long in the bath and letting it cool down.

Xu Youyu, who was standing by, put the juice on the table. Seeing Li Luo coming out with a plate, he smiled and asked, "Today the club is recruiting new members. Which one did you choose in the end?"

"Basketball club." Li Luo sat down and pushed Xu Youyu's fried noodles in front of her. "Follow Principal Wang's teachings and exercise more."

"Have you considered those competition clubs?" Xu Youyu asked curiously, "Xixi seems to have joined the Mathematics Club? Aren't you going to join her?"

"She went to the Math Club to explore the world of knowledge." Li Luo shook his head and said, "If I go in, I will just be tortured. Why should I ask for trouble?"

"Your high school entrance exam results were pretty good, weren't they? Are they really that exaggerated?"

"I scored 110 in the high school entrance exam, but that was the limit of my ability. Others scored 120 because that was the limit of their paper scores. I am very self-aware."

"In that case." Xu Youyu smiled and suggested while eating fried noodles, "Why not join the literature club?"

"Oh? So you're waiting here." Li Luo raised his eyebrows, finally understanding Xu Youyu's foreshadowing, "Senior is also from the literature club?"

"I'm the vice president."

“I thought it was the president.”

"If you can join the company," Xu Youyu said with a smile, "I might be the president soon."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment. "You and the other vice president, are you planning something? Whoever can get me involved will become the president?"

"You think that's pretty nice." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "I'm just being polite to you."

"Forget it, the literature club is too troublesome. As for the basketball club, you can join if you want to. There are no hard and fast requirements."

"There aren't any hard and fast requirements for the literature club."

"Didn't you say you have to submit a manuscript every month?"

"Guess who collects the manuscripts?" Xu Youyu laughed, "I recruited you to join the publishing house, so you are under my control. If you don't want to write, then don't write."

"Is it possible?" Li Luo was surprised. "Then what's the difference between me joining and not joining?"

"What if you want to write something at that time?" Xu Youyu said, "Besides, the literature club is not only about writing, there are also club activities on weekdays, it depends on whether you want to participate."

"for example?"

"For example..." Xu Youyu said for example and fell silent for a moment.

It seems that the literature club really doesn't have any interesting activities.

Clubs like the Mathematics Club and the Physics Club are purely competition clubs. The club activities in the evening are equivalent to the eighth class every day, and the competition teachers will prepare lessons specifically for them.

Clubs like basketball clubs, table tennis clubs, and anime clubs are relatively loose, and members can play basketball and watch anime together.

As for the literature club, during the evening club activities, we actually gather in a fixed activity classroom, chat and share the good books and articles we have read recently.

At the pen pal meeting on Saturday afternoon, we would comment on each other’s recent works.

Besides this, there is another interesting thing.

"The literature club doesn't really have any interesting activities, but there is one thing I find quite fun." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "In the literature club, you can choose one or two pen pals."

"The two of them agreed to communicate with each other through letters, just like the literati in the past."

"Some things may not be suitable for face-to-face conversations between friends, but they can be conveyed through written letters."

Li Luo blinked and asked, "But can we do this without joining the literature club?"

"You may not be able to find someone willing to exchange letters with you. There are more people willing to do so in the literature club." Xu Youyu coaxed, "Come on, come on. When I become the president, I will appoint you as the vice president!"

"Haha, if you want to order me around, just tell me. Forget about being the vice president." Li Luo pouted, "It would be better if you could just wash my clothes for a month."

Xu Youyu: "...I think you are itching for trouble."
