Cheerleading (Second Update)

Aside from choosing courses too late and not being able to get into other courses, very few male students who were assigned to the aerobics class actively chose this course.

Some people might think that with so few male students and classes filled with girls, they'd be a sight to behold, perhaps even enjoying the attention of the center of attention and finding a girlfriend out of the way.

In fact, male students who hold this idea often only attend one or two classes before giving up, because it's really embarrassing, and only male students with strong willpower or a genuine interest in the subject can stick to it.

Because they became outcasts.

Outcasts often attract all sorts of attention, with emotional glances, tone of voice, and subtle, unintentional provocations. Girls often wonder if he's snuck in for some lewd reason, unless he's exceptionally good-looking.

At this point, they would think, "He's so handsome, there's no need for him to sneak in and get close to girls. He must love aerobics."

Liu Chang'an sat in the stands of the gymnasium. Six male students wearing sports pants and sneakers arrived first and then started cleaning the venue with mops. Obviously, no matter why they chose this course, they did not enjoy the treatment of being the center of attention. Instead, they had to come early to do hard labor.

Liu Chang'an smiled and flipped through the book in his hand.

After a while, the female students arrived one after another. For aerobics performances and competitions, female athletes often dress more elegantly, but in university classes, everyone wears only casual, loose-fitting clothes and shoes suitable for exercise.

An Nuan still dressed with youthful energy and sunshine, wearing white athletic shorts and a short-sleeved t-shirt, and a pair of flat running shoes. Her slender figure resembled an elegant white crane strolling leisurely.

An Nuan walked into the gymnasium, touched her neck, and casually twisted it as if she was a little uncomfortable. This action concealed her looking around for someone. Out of the corner of her eye, she quickly caught sight of someone in the stands, then immediately turned around, revealing a nonchalant attitude, and shuffled to the assembly area.

I absolutely... not at all... don't want to see him.

But if he doesn't come to see her today, if he doesn't show up here, then it will take at least ten more days... maybe five more days... or three more days would be more appropriate. Just ignore him.

Of course, even if he comes to see her today, she still won't pay him any attention.

What does he want with An Nuan? Isn't there a woman at school who has a key to his house and looks like she's planning to move in?

An Nuan turned her back to Liu Chang'an in the stands and began to prepare. Didn't he say he liked her because she was pretty? She's so pretty, but he won't even let her see her face.

As An Nuan was thinking this, she took advantage of the bending over motion to look between her legs and found that Liu Chang'an was not looking at her with sincere, guilty, and apologetic eyes. Instead, he was reading a book!

When he comes to talk to me later, I will continue reading and ignore him. He has no sincerity at all.

"Nuan Nuan, Liu Chang'an is still the same as he was in high school!" Zhang Taole, who only had PE class with An Nuan, ran over and said to An Nuan with a grin.

Back in high school... that figure who used to sit in the stands when I practiced volleyball, now seems to be my boyfriend... An Nuan couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart, but she immediately realized her current situation and quickly straightened her face and snorted, "He sat there watching me in high school, now he's reading a book!"

"You... were you... by him...?" Zhang Taole made a lewd gesture.

"No!" An Nuan's face turned bright red. "You're going to die! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"How could that be... I've heard that men usually only become less intense after having sex with their girlfriends." Zhang Taole frowned and pondered for a while.

"Okay, stop gossiping about me... Bi Wanwan is in this class too, but she didn't come last class. Did you see that girl in the tight top and pants? She's also in our class, her name is Zhao Xiaotong... Hehe..." An Nuan smiled, "Isn't she incredibly beautiful and has a great figure?"

"Her outfit is so revealing, and we're not professionals, we're not even going to a competition... She's really slutty." Zhang Taole wrinkled her nose. "What's so great about her figure, shorty?"

Zhang Taole is 1.68 meters tall, which is actually considered tall for a girl. However, she often spent time with An Nuan in high school, and compared to her, she always unconsciously felt that she wasn't that tall. Girls around 1.6 meters tall would naturally be considered short, objectively speaking.

"She even said she wanted to get to know Liu Chang'an!" This alone was enough to An Nuan brooding over it since the start of the semester. She immediately told Zhang Taole, who was still unaware of the situation, with an incredulous expression.

"Holy crap, trying to steal my wife's boyfriend?" Zhang Taole exclaimed indignantly. "How can you be so shameless?!"

Zhang Taole has already taken two more wives in the dormitory, but he hasn't divorced An Nuan and still gives her an An Nuan title.

"Keep your voice down." An Nuan noticed a few girls looking over and tugged at Zhang Taole. "Class is starting, class is starting... I'm going to take attendance."

An Nuan is the class's sports representative. After taking attendance, the class began.

The lessons on footwork and hand gestures were over, and today's lesson was on level one Volkswagen aerobics with movement combinations. After class started, Liu Chang'an stopped reading the book and observed the group of beginners. Zhang Taole and Bi Wanwan had a dance background, so they were learning aerobics faster. Although An Nuan didn't have a background in dance, as a girl who had won the Outstanding Athlete Medal of Xiangtan University Affiliated High School, she had excellent athletic ability. Moreover, her face and figure were too much of an advantage, making her more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Taole Bi Wanwan, whose movements were more standardized and precise.

The boys standing in the last row spent most of their time looking at the girls, their movements lazy and unfocused, clearly not taking it seriously. Some of the girls, on the other hand, seemed to be scratching their heads and trying to imitate Zhou Dongdong's exercises, twisting and turning haphazardly, needing the teacher to teach them the movements step by step.

Looking at her, Liu Chang'an thought An Nuan was the prettiest. He gazed at her slender waist, her volleyball-shaped hips, and her bouncy, bamboo shoot-like legs. The youthful energy and athleticism she exuded were a delight to behold.

Besides Liu Chang'an, there was a man and a woman standing at the edge of the field watching, occasionally whispering to each other and nodding with appreciation as they pointed at the freshmen who were studying.

The man was probably a student at Xiangtan University, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a pair of brightly colored KD6 SUPREME Nike shoes that were quite unique.

The woman was wearing the cheerleading uniform of the School of Business Administration. She wasn't very tall, about 1.65 meters, but the cheerleading training clearly allowed her to maintain a youthful and energetic figure, giving her a rather athletic look.

During the break, An Nuan took Zhang Taole and Bi Wanwan to the restroom. When they returned, the cheerleader girl beckoned An Nuan over.

"An Nuan, I've heard so much about you. I'm Liu Heyang, the captain of our college's cheerleading team, and this is Zhang Shilong, the head of the sports department of our college's student union," Liu Heyang introduced.

"Hello." An Nuan wasn't surprised that they knew her name, because she really was a super beautiful girl, and even Liu Chang'an liked her.

"Hello, you have a great talent for dancing." Zhang Shilong nodded appreciatively in praise.

"Thank you." Not wanting to offend someone who's smiling, An Nuan couldn't help but glance at Liu Chang'an in the stands. Finding him smiling at her, she quickly turned away, thinking that if Liu Chang'an were standing there, he'd probably ask with great suspicion, "What do you, a member of the sports department, know about dance talent?"

"Would you be interested in joining our college's cheerleading team?" Liu Heyang hesitated for a moment, but still asked enthusiastically.

Hesitation was just a last resort, after all, he had already agreed to Zhang Shilong to recruit people. Although Liu Heyang was selected for the school cheerleading team because of his solid skills, if a super beautiful girl like An Nuan was brought into the team, there would be no doubt that a large part of the shouts, audience attention and applause during future performances would be diverted to An Nuan.

"Me?" An Nuan guessed the other party's intention, but was still somewhat surprised. After a brief consideration, she shook her head with a slightly dimmed look in her eyes.

She used to be a volleyball player who came on after the cheerleaders warmed up the crowd; she was an athlete who sweated it out, jumped, ran, and focused intently throughout the entire match... Now, can she only appear on the much more competitive sports field again as a cheerleader?

"Why? You're a very good catch," Zhang Shilong quickly said.

"You're not interested, are you?" An Nuan didn't want to reveal the real reason; there was no need to share this helpless feeling with outsiders.

"Our college's cheerleading team is very popular throughout the entire school; you could say they're a celebrity team. Their official Weibo account has over 30,000 followers." Zhang Shilong smiled and glanced at Liu Heyang beside him. "Do you have a bad impression of cheerleading? Many people have this prejudice, thinking that cheerleading girls are too lively and outgoing. In fact, people like United States President Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, former President George W. Bush, celebrities Kirk Douglas, Cameron Diaz, and Sandra Brooke all joined cheerleading teams during their studies."

"Over 30,000 followers?" An Nuan touched her long hair a little awkwardly. It seemed they didn't know much about her, and perhaps they had some misunderstanding about the term "internet celebrity," or maybe they were just used to overusing it.

"It's still growing rapidly. There will be a cheerleading competition at school soon, and our college's cheerleading team ranks very high, so our popularity should increase a lot more." Liu Heyang was actually a bit conflicted. She personally didn't want An Nuan to join the cheerleading team, but in the long run, once An Nuan had trained well, it would be very beneficial for the college's cheerleading team. If she were even selected for the school team, Liu Heyang would have another partner on the school team.

It's a natural and objective phenomenon that groups composed of girls often exhibit various forms of factionalism and infighting.

"Sorry, I'm really not interested." An Nuan shook her head. "I'm sorry, you should find someone else."

Just as An Nuan was about to leave, Zhang Shilong was about to say something when suddenly the sound of a volleyball hitting the floor came from the quiet venue. Then, a volleyball flew with a whistling sound towards An Nuan, Zhang Shilong, and Liu Heyang.

The girl jumped high almost instinctively, just as she always had. She had jumped to that height countless times before, and countless times, amidst the brunt of her teammates' and opponents' attacks, she would slam the ball back, return to her position, and prepare for the next attack or defense.

An Nuan landed steadily, looked at her palm, and then at the volleyball in front of her. Liu Chang'an had caught the volleyball she had slapped back, was holding it in his hand and spinning it around, and was smiling at her.

"I only like volleyball, I have absolutely no interest in cheerleading," An Nuan said to Zhang Shilong, walking closer to Liu Chang'an with her hands in her pockets.

Liu Chang'an slapped the ball over.

An Nuan clasped her hands together and pushed the ball back.

Liu Chang'an passed the ball back and started playing with An Nuan.

After halftime, class started. An Nuan gave Liu Chang'an a still angry glare and forcefully slammed the volleyball at Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an caught the ball and was about to return it when Zhang Shilong and Liu Heyang came over and stopped Liu Chang'an.

"I have no interest in joining the cheerleading squad," Liu Chang'an said.

Zhang Shilong's cheek muscles twitched. Actually, the proportion of boys in university cheerleading teams was even lower than that in aerobics classes, but... who cares!

"Hey classmate, you must be An Nuan's friend, right? Could you help persuade An Nuan? She's a good fit, and we really need someone like her." Liu Heyang actually knew Zhang Shilong's true intentions. She had heard Zhang Shilong jokingly say that "cheerleading" was like the sports department's harem.

"When we watch American TV shows or movies, we often see the star player of the team and the cheerleading captain as the two most popular people in school, and they're often a couple... But the cultural environment is different. Even if An Nuan joins the cheerleading team, you won't have a chance." Liu Chang'an had no interest in beating around the bush or waiting for someone to actually provoke him before responding. He said directly, "I'm her boyfriend, don't bother."

Zhang Shilong's expression changed. He was certain that he hadn't made any gestures or said anything that implied this meaning. This was the first time he had ever met someone who didn't use any tact or subtlety and just came up to be confrontational.

"Classmate, I didn't mean that, you've misunderstood," Zhang Shilong said coldly.

"I have no misunderstanding."

"Heh, whether I meant it or not, is it up to you to decide?"

"Certainly."

Liu Heyang stared in surprise at the man in front of him, whose eyebrows and eyes had narrowed slightly. Just moments ago, when he was interacting with An Nuan, he had been as warm as a forest bathed in sunlight, but now he seemed like a thorn in her side.

Zhang Shilong laughed in anger. He had indeed miscalculated; he hadn't given much thought to whether An Nuan had a boyfriend or not. But if he could win over a girl like her, that would be great; if not, it wouldn't be a loss.

"Don't look like you want to fight me. I'm just telling you this so you don't go astray." Liu Chang'an was a reasonable person. Why would he beat someone up just because they only meant it but didn't actually do it? That would be too much. So he patted Zhang Shilong on the shoulder and turned to go to the equipment room to return the ball.

Zhang Shilong exchanged a glance with Liu Heyang and chuckled, "An Nuan's boyfriend, he must be a freshman too, right? Goodness, this year's freshmen are so arrogant!"

"I'll find another opportunity to talk to her," Liu Heyang said dismissively to Zhang Shilong.

Zhang Shilong glanced at An Nuan's retreating figure from afar and nodded... This beautiful girl truly exuded a charm that made one irresistibly want to possess her.
