Chapter 238 Club (Two in One)
When Fang Wei saw Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi, the two girls came down from upstairs together.
It may not be appropriate to describe it as "a short separation is better than a new marriage", but for Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi, they are always very happy when they see him, because they can finally talk to him about what they have been holding back for the whole afternoon.
"Have you elected class leaders yet~!"
When there were only two steps left on the stairs, Xu Cailing jumped down in one stride, stood in front of him like a gust of wind, stretched out her little hand to pat his shoulder, her long ponytail swaying behind her head.
Then, the ladylike Liu Zhiyi walked down the stairs one step at a time, looking at him with her big eyes and a smile on her lips.
"Yes, has your class chosen?"
"Our class has chosen too! The Zhiyi class has chosen too!"
Seeing Xu Cailing so relaxed and happy, Fang Wei knew without a doubt that she must have become the sports committee member as she wished, but he still asked knowingly:
"Then the competition for the sports committee member in your class must be very fierce, right? With so many outstanding athletes, if you want to convince everyone to become a sports committee member, you must be a very capable person, right?"
"Hee hee hee……"
"Could it be...?! You're the sports commissioner again?!"
"Hahaha, it's okay. It's not as difficult as you said. I got selected easily~"
Fang Wei's emotional value was maximized, and Xu Cailing was so happy that she almost flew up. It was worth it that she ran down in a hurry just to tell him about this.
"That's amazing! The sports committee members in our class are all men, and girls don't dare to run for it. If you were in our class, you would probably be the sports committee member!"
"Hate it, stop flattering me, I'm shy!"
Xu Cailing stepped lightly on his foot as a warning, but her beautiful mood was not affected at all.
"Then guess who is the monitor of our class?" Xu Cailing kept the question in suspense again.
Fang Wei didn't indulge her this time and gave her the answer directly: "Is it Pepe?"
"How did you know!"
"...Besides you, I only know Pepe in your class. You can't ask me to guess a classmate I don't know."
"Well, you're as smart as me."
"..."
If you were smart, you wouldn't ask this!
It is not surprising that Pepe became the class monitor. After all, it is a special class. Pepe's professional course performance is good, and his cultural score is also very high. He ranks second in Class 6. In addition, he has a good personality, so his success rate in running for class monitor is still very high.
"Then guess who is the monitor of our class?" Liu Zhiyi asked with a blink.
How come you are as dumb as Cai Ling! In your class 5, besides you and Wang Yushan, who else do I know? !
Fang Wei subconsciously wanted to answer that it was Wang Yushan, but suddenly he reacted and saw a hint of cunning flash in the girl's eyes.
Wait! You evil-minded idiot are trying to trick me!
Thinking of this, Fang Wei laughed and said, "It shouldn't be Yushan, right?"
Unexpectedly, the two girls looked at each other, then burst into laughter, as if they had achieved some final victory, and said proudly: "Idiot! You guessed wrong! It's Yushan!"
"??"
"Besides Zhiyi and Yushan, who else do you know in Class 5?"
"No... Is it really Yushan who is the monitor?"
"Yeah~! You guessed it all wrong, idiot! Pig!"
Liu Zhiyi and Xu Cailing were laughing happily, but they were on the third floor! I’m just trying to trick you, a smart-assed idiot!
Fang Wei was also convinced. This taciturn man and this straightforward man were playing a double act together and actually tricked him. They were really sinister!
But seeing the two girls were so amused that they were shaking with laughter, who could say... this wasn't the fifth level?
Thinking of this, Fang Wei felt relieved and admitted defeat and submitted.
Wang Yushan's successful election as monitor of Class Five surprised Fang Wei a little, but it was also reasonable. After all, although Wang Yushan's previous grades were not as good as his and Liu Zhiyi, she had always been ranked third. Even in No. 1 Middle School, which was full of top students, her entrance score could rank ninth in Class Five.
She may not be as capable as Fang Wei, but among her peers, Wang Yushan is still very capable, efficient and reliable.
Because of Fang Wei's interference in this life, Wang Yushan was unable to sit at the same table with Liu Zhiyi in junior high school, nor could she become the class monitor. However, she did not expect that these two things would come true after she entered high school.
When the three of them were about to walk towards the track and field while chatting, Zhao Yueting from Class 1 came out from the back door.
When Zhao Yueting saw Fang Wei and the other two standing at the stairs, she was stunned.
"Hey! Aren't you guys going to eat yet?"
"Let's eat later. We're going to go to the track and field to run a few laps. Do you want to come?" Fang Wei asked her.
If only Fang Wei was there, Zhao Yueting would probably run a few laps, but now Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were also there, and it seemed that the two girls were running with him.
Seeing the two girls' indifferent expressions, Zhao Yueting also said tactfully: "I won't run away. I'll have a meal in the cafeteria and go back to the dormitory to take a shower."
"That's fine."
"By the way, I just heard from them that our school has some clubs and they are recruiting new members now that school has started. Are you interested in signing up?"
"Club? Does our school have such a thing?"
Fang Wei didn't know about this. It seemed that Zhao Yueting just found out about it as well. She was probably talking about this with a few girls after class.
"Yes, there are badminton clubs, basketball clubs, guitar clubs, street dance clubs, drama clubs and the like. They are considered a feature of our school. I heard that they were all organized by teachers in the past, and then developed into a student-led form."
Seeing that Fang Wei didn't know, Zhao Yueting told him what she knew.
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi, who were standing by, were also curious as they didn't know this.
Fang Wei had never been to college in his previous life, so naturally he had never joined any clubs. There were no so-called clubs in the No. 3 Middle School where he studied before.
After all, high schools in China are not as relaxed as those in the neighboring island country. Especially these days, things like hobbies and interests are ignored. I didn't expect that No. 1 Middle School has such an interest club.
Before, Fang Wei thought that the afternoon school time was quite long. Classes ended at 5:30 and evening self-study started at 7:10, a total of one hour and forty minutes. It seemed that this was to allow some students who participated in clubs to do extracurricular activities.
But obviously, the school does not highly recommend this, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many freshmen who don’t know about the school’s interest clubs.
I have heard from colleagues who have been to college before that when college clubs recruited new members, it was always very lively and there were tents everywhere on campus. But there is none of that in No. 1 Middle School, and I don’t know where these clubs go to recruit new members.
"So, you want to join a club?" Fang Wei asked her.
"No, after listening to them, it seems that there aren't any particularly interesting clubs."
Fang Wei and the other two were walking slowly towards the track and field stadium, and Zhao Yueting followed them along the way: "Rather than joining a club, if possible, I would rather form a new club myself!"
"...Detective Agency?"
"how do you know!"
"Anyone who isn't stupid can guess that."
"That's what I thought, don't you think it's interesting?"
Zhao Yueting seemed very interested and described the vision of her detective agency: "For example, our detective agency can organize some reasoning treasure hunt activities, or play some case simulations, allowing everyone to play the roles of detectives, suspects, witnesses, etc., isn't it interesting?"
Although Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were not very fond of Zhao Yueting, the two girls found the detective agency she described quite interesting.
"...Isn't this just a script-based killing?" Fang Wei was stunned for a moment and laughed.
"Script killing? What is that..." Zhao Yueting was unfamiliar with the term.
"…It's the role-playing game you mentioned. Players first choose a character, read the corresponding script, and then collect clues to find the real murderer hidden in the event."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what I mean!"
What Fang Wei said matched her idea perfectly. Zhao Yueting said with satisfaction, "When I set up a detective agency in the future, would you like to join? You should be able to barely become a member of our detective agency."
"..."
Fang Wei almost laughed at her and said speechlessly: "Wait until you are established first. I am not trying to discourage you, but the school will definitely not approve it."
"How will you know if you don't try."
Seeing Fang Wei wanted to join her so-called detective agency, the two girls couldn't sit still anymore and asked hurriedly, "If you really set up a detective agency, can we join it too?"
"Well...this is getting interesting."
Zhao Yueting didn't say yes or no. Just thinking about these three people with complicated relationships joining her detective agency made her feel that club life would be very exciting...
"Anyway, let's wait until my club is organized! Let's go, bye."
Fang Wei and the other two were already standing on the track. Zhao Yueting did not run with them, but walked along the school road towards the cafeteria.
Watching the girl's departing back, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi turned around and asked Fang Wei:
"You really want to join her detective agency..."
"How is that possible? Let's not even talk about whether she can join or not. There's no way she can form this club. The school won't agree to it."
After all, high school is not a university and does not have that much flexibility. As mentioned before, all the clubs in No. 1 Middle School were organized by former teachers. The school will definitely not agree to a self-organized club that has nothing to do with study and is a niche detective agency that relies on reasoning.
Zhao Yueting is not stupid, she can also think of this, but she still wants to give it a try. This mentality of not giving up as long as there is a chance makes Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi admire her very much.
Different from the first meeting yesterday when they were as nervous as if facing a formidable enemy, after Fang Wei's assurance that he would "never fall in love too early", when they met Zhao Yueting again today, both girls were much calmer.
Objectively and rationally speaking, Zhao Yueting is actually a woman with a pretty good personality. If she were in their class, they might be able to become good friends.
But she happened to be in the same class with Fang Wei, and girls are very emotional creatures. It is impossible for them to become friends with someone they dislike at first sight.
As girls, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi could see that, perhaps Zhao Yueting was not really attracted to their Fang Wei, but the admiration and special feeling towards him in her eyes were still very obvious.
Anyway, don’t relax!!
Unfortunately, they are just Mr. Fang's two maids and have no control over what he does or who he associates with. They can only find ways to win his heart back and make him focus on... studying!
"By the way, I've never seen you two interested in reasoning or detective work before. Zhao Yueting is setting up a detective agency, and you two are joining in the fun. What do you want to do?"
"Because, because...to prevent you from falling in love too early!" Cai Ling said hesitantly.
"Yeah!" Zhiyi nodded.
"What the hell..."
"What if she really sets up a detective agency? Your club is so small, so by then there will only be you and her in the club. A club with only two people sounds frivolous, and she will definitely go on a date under the guise of club activities!" clever Cai Ling reasoned.
"Yeah!" Zhiyi nodded.
Fang Wei found it funny: "There is no such thing as a club of two people. If there really is one, I would think that this club is definitely messing around without you telling me."
"Yeah, you think so too!"
"Okay, okay, let's warm up and run."
Because they had to go to eat soon and go back to the classroom for evening self-study, the three of them did not bring their schoolbags with them.
Du Peipei and Wang Yushan did not run. After class, they went to eat and then returned to the dormitory to wash up.
The one and a half hours after class is free time for the three of them, which is like two consecutive physical education classes, so there is still plenty of time.
Songs are played on the radio in the school, and there is plenty of time in the evening so students don’t have to crowd into the cafeteria.
Some went to play ball, some took a walk, and some participated in club activities. Of course, there were also many diligent students who finished their meals and took a shower early, and then returned to the classroom to study and read.
The light of setting sun dyes the huge campus golden. This is the most leisurely time of the day in school.
After a simple warm-up, Fang Wei and the other two started jogging along the 400-meter plastic track.
"Oh, right! I haven't asked you yet! How is the election of class leaders going for your class?"
"Just like you guys, I've made my choice."
"What about you? Are you now the monitor?"
"You all asked me to be the boss, so I will be the boss."
"whee……"
Fang Wei became the class monitor, and the two girls were happy for him; he stated the reasons why he became the class monitor in this way, which made the two girls happy again. It was a double happiness.
"What about Zhao Yueting? Didn't she run for class leader?"
"…Why do I feel like you two care about her more than me?"
"curious!"
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi cursed in their hearts, if it weren’t for you, who would care about that woman!
"She's also running for class monitor."
"…You defeated her!"
"Well, after being defeated by me, she can only be the deputy class."
Even though it's just the word "deputy", the difference is huge. When the two girls heard that Fang Wei became the class monitor after defeating Zhao Yueting, they were even happier. This was triple happiness.
"Then you are too harsh. You have no mercy on me at all."
"...Then I'll give her the position of squad leader later."
"No! Can't!" Fang Wei's words caused the two girls to slap him again.
I don't know when it started, but Fang Wei also fell in love with this kind of evil taste of teasing young girls, sometimes he made them happy, sometimes he made them angry, and sometimes he made them shy. Their every frown and smile would always linger in his heart for a long time. Perhaps this is what youth is.
"As expected, everyone who graduated from Baitan Middle School is a talent. Look at us, we have all become class leaders." Cailing said.
"Huh, I don't, huh," Zhiyi objected.
"Then Zhiyi, you should go and take the position too. You will definitely be able to take the position if you go."
"I don't want it, huh."
"Okay, stop talking while running, Zhiyi will die soon."
"Huh, we, huh, need to run a few laps, huh..."
Liu Zhiyi's forehead was already covered with sweat, and her face was flushed from running, but she still kept close to Fang Wei and Cai Ling's pace.
Of course Fang Wei and Cai Ling did not run at full speed, otherwise they would have outrun her long ago.
"One lap is 400 meters. Running five laps will complete the mission."
"...So now, which round are we in? Huh..."
"It's the fourth lap."
"..."
Although he usually runs for exercise, and runs about two kilometers, Liu Zhiyi feels that running in circles is much more tiring than running outdoors, mainly because of the visual fatigue caused by the single track.
Although he was a little tired, the physical strength he had gained from his usual exercise was still there. Following Fang Wei and Xu Cailing, Liu Zhiyi successfully ran five laps in one breath.
When they reached the sixth lap, the three stopped running and walked to the outer circle of the track together. So as not to block the runners in the inner circle, they took a slow stroll along the track to restore their strength.
Compared to Liu Zhiyi who was almost drained of energy, Fang Wei and Xu Cailing seemed much more at ease, not even breathing hard.
"Our physical education teacher Lin said that starting tomorrow, we will officially take special classes and begin training."
“How many classes are there in a week?”
"Well, six classes, the last two on Tuesday, the last two on Wednesday, and the last two on Thursday. Then he told me that after the military training and the National Day holiday, he would take me to the city team for training."
Although they are not in the same class now, Cailing still tells him everything as before.
I'm afraid even her parents don't understand Cailing half as well as Fang Wei does.
"The city team training? The city track and field team training base near the school?"
"Yes, do you want to come with me?"
Hearing the girl's childish invitation, Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh: "I can't go even if I want to. Not everyone is as good as you and can go to the city team for training. Who else is there in your class besides you?"
"Hey, it's just me."
"Awesome, awesome!"
Xu Cailing felt elated when she heard Fang Wei's praise, but she felt a little bored when she thought about training herself.
"It's not far anyway. It only takes about ten minutes to walk to the school. So when do you usually train? Will it interfere with your classes during the day?"
"Well, that won't happen, because I still have classes during the day, so Teacher Lin asked me to go to the city team for training after class in the afternoon. They will also train in the evening, and will practice until about 9:30 in the evening."
"You won't be attending evening self-study classes at school?"
"Yes, Teacher Lin said that the school specially approved it."
"Nine thirty... That's perfect. Our evening study session ends at nine fifty. When class is over, I can pick you up at the training base and we can go back together."
This was also what made Xu Cailing sad. She had been thinking that she would not be able to go home with Fang Wei and Zhiyi at night and would have to walk back alone. When she heard that Fang Wei was coming to pick her up, she became happy.
"I, I'm not a child, and the place is not far away, why do I need you to pick me up..."
"Then I'll go?"
The girl was anxious and said hurriedly, "Come, come, come! Come and pick me up no matter if it's windy or rainy!"
As she said this, she pinched him. This bad guy didn't understand the modesty of a young girl at all.
Liu Zhiyi, who was breathing heavily on the side, listened with her big eyes rolling around. It was only then that she heard Cai Ling talk about it that she knew that she would go to the city team for training starting next month.
In this way...wouldn't it be just her and Fang Wei running and eating together in the evening from now on?
Woo! Cailing, don't worry! When you're not around, I'll take good care of Fang Wei for you! I won't let him fall in love too early!
……
After running and walking two laps, Fang Wei looked at the time and it was just after six o'clock.
"Are you going to eat so early?"
"Let's walk a little longer. We're not hungry now after running!"
"I'm not hungry either..."
"Then let's walk some more."
After class, everyone was free to move around on campus. Seeing people playing basketball and badminton, Xu Cailing realized, "I still have table tennis rackets and badminton rackets at home! Remember to remind me to bring them over next time you go back. We can play together after running!"
"sure."
"Then wait until next month, when I go to training, you can use my racket to play, and I can also have a sense of participation..."
“…What the hell!”
Although Fang Wei has good academic performance, he is different from most top students. Apart from the planned study time, he does not spend all his time reading like a nerd.
In fact, arranging study and rest time reasonably like this makes him more efficient.
Seeing that the basketball court nearby was quite lively, Fang Wei and the other two went over to take a look.
"Hello, classmate. You are so tall, you must play basketball regularly, right? Do you want to join our basketball club?"
A senior student in a sports jersey came over with a simply printed club recruitment flyer and handed it to Fang Wei.
"Basketball club...recruiting new members..."
Fang Wei took the paper and looked at it. He didn't know if the recruitment of clubs in universities was also done this way, but buddy, your basketball club's flyer is too simple! There's not even a picture on it. If you stick it on a telephone pole, an advertisement for psoriasis treatment would be more attractive than your flyer!
It looks like this is the basketball club's recruitment site. Not to mention a tent, there isn't even a chair.
I guess other clubs are the same. The so-called recruitment is probably that members take such crude flyers and distribute them to each class or dormitory.
As if seeing what Fang was thinking, the senior smiled and said, "These are just formalities. Don't take them too seriously. Our main goal is to bring together people with similar interests. Do you like playing basketball? I see that you have a great physique and are definitely a basketball expert! Are you still worried about not being able to play with your teammates? Come and join our basketball game. We organize games every day. This court is exclusively for our basketball club! You can come anytime you want to play!"
"So awesome? And even a dedicated stadium?"
"Of course not. We have a lot of people in our club. Whichever member is closest to here or happens to be in PE class can take over the place in a minute!"
"..."
Depend on!
Fang Wei couldn't imagine that it would be so 'exclusive'? !
I thought the school had granted you a special playground, but it turns out you just relied on your numbers to dominate the playground?!
However, from the perspective of results, there seems to be no difference. After all, there are many people in the school, and it is not easy to get a place to play ball.
Although there are not too many formal things, Fang Wei is still quite interested in such a club where people gather together purely because of their interests and hobbies.
"How do I sign up?"
"Just find the president to sign up!"
"The president is..."
"Hey, that's me."
"..."
People who love sports generally have more cheerful personalities. The senior in front of him, who was wearing a sports uniform and about the same height as Fang Wei, patted his chest and introduced himself: "I'm from Class 20 of Senior High School. Just call me Zhang Bo! You look a little unfamiliar to me, are you a freshman in Senior High School?"
It’s not like it’s easy to tell the grade of high school students at a glance like it is with junior high school students. Especially since Fang Wei is wearing a school uniform, it’s even harder to recognize him.
"Yes, I'm from Class 1, Grade 1. Just call me Fang Wei."
"That's perfect! We mainly recruit freshmen! I will step down next year when they are in their third year. The future of the club depends on you!"
"..."
It's really funny. It's such a waste of talent for this guy to be the president of a basketball club.
"How do I sign up? Is it even a sign up now?"
"Yes! Let me register you first... Jian, where are my paper and pen?"
"Brother Bo, here it is."
Another member picked up a small notebook and pen from the cement floor of the basketball hoop and handed them to him. Zhang Bo took the paper and pen, used the basketball hoop next to him as a table, and registered Fang Wei.
"square……"
“Fang means direction, Wei means for people… It’s not about being a great man, it’s about being a human being!”
"Okay! OK!"
After registering Fang Wei's class name, Zhang Bo put the notebook away.
Fang Wei was so quick that he didn't even react. He said uncertainly, "...Is this considered as signing up? Am I a member of the basketball club?"
"That's right! You will be a member of our basketball club from now on. We will hold activities in this court every afternoon after school. Come as long as you are free. I guarantee you will never lack friends to play with!"
"……what?"
Without realizing it, I have become a member of the basketball club?!
Fang Wei couldn't tell whether this could be considered 'not caring about form' or 'taking it as a joke'. No wonder the topic of clubs in school was so vague. So this is how it was done?
But Fang Wei still quite likes such relaxed conditions and the atmosphere of gathering together purely because of interests and hobbies. If there were too many restrictions, he would not want to join in the fun.
Seeing Fang Wei join the basketball club immediately, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were a little confused.
"Can we join the basketball club together?"
"Um...it's not that you can't, it's just that there are no other girls in our club. You can't form a team even if you want to play basketball. How about this, do you want to join our cheerleading team?"
"That's it."
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi thought, what's the difference between joining your cheerleading team and watching you play by myself? Instead of cheering for so many people, it would be better to cheer for Fang Wei!
Zhang Bo picked up the basketball on the ground, patted it, called Fang Wei, and then passed the ball to him.
Fang Wei has always been good at playing basketball. He can play back and forth with Asheng, who was admitted to No. 2 Middle School as a basketball specialty student. He is considered a little expert among the students.
"Every new member who joins the club will have a simple assessment, which is mainly to assess everyone's strength and then match them with suitable teammates and opponents."
"Fang Wei, show us your skills! Shoot a two-pointer, a three-pointer, then a layup, and finally play one-on-one with me!"
"Okay, my skills are average, so please don't laugh at me."
"Of course not! Many people in our club didn't know how to play basketball when they first joined. It's just a hobby! It's a hobby! Start your performance!"
Fang Wei walked into the venue, and other members made room for him so that they could watch the new talent show in a lively atmosphere.
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi naturally stood by and watched, cheering for Fang Wei together, which attracted the envious glances of the other members!
Who is this new guy? It's fine that he plays basketball, but he also has his own cheerleading team, and they are two beautiful girls?!
With a swish, Fang Wei accurately made a two-point shot.
With another swish, Fang Wei made an accurate three-pointer.
Bang, bang, bang. The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was accompanied by his footsteps. Fang Wei rushed over quickly and made a beautiful layup.
"Not bad! I knew you were good at basketball. You can almost dunk now, right?! Your physique is so good?!"
The members who were watching the new talent show also applauded.
Zhang Bo was jealous, so he stretched his wrists and ankles, walked into the court, and hooked his finger at Fang Wei who was dribbling the ball:
"Come on! If you can pass this level, you will be an S-level player in our basketball club!"
"Then I'm welcome?"
"Come on!"
"Come on Fang Wei--!"
The two girls on the sidelines looked at him with sparkling eyes and cheered for him.
The flying basketball drew an arc in the air.
Under the brilliant sunset is the fiery youth.
