Clubs

Duan Xu quickly scanned the code and added him. "I added you. I'll pull you into our dorm group later."

"Mm." Shen Yanlang accepted the request.

He looked at Duan Xu's profile picture. It was a white cat curled up on a tatami mat, and his username was Shh, Don't Talk.

[Heh... kind of cute.]

Duan Xu blinked. What was cute? The profile picture? It was pretty cute.

He was also looking at Shen Yanlang's profile picture and username. Shen Yanlang's username was simple, just the letter S, while his profile picture was a starry sky.

When he checked Shen Yanlang's Moments, they were set to visible for three days. Since Shen Yanlang had not posted anything in those three days, there was nothing to see. Duan Xu backed out and pulled Shen Yanlang into the dorm group.

Shen Yanlang was also looking through Duan Xu's Moments. They had the same settings, and Duan Xu rarely posted anything, so there was nothing there either.

[Tsk!]

Duan Xu secretly glanced at Shen Yanlang. What was with that tone? Why did he sound a little unhappy? It was not because of him, right?

Then Shen Yanlang suddenly turned his head. "Send me your class schedule. Let me take a look."

"Huh? Oh." Duan Xu's heart thumped uneasily. He had no idea why Shen Yanlang wanted his schedule, but he did whatever Shen Yanlang said. "Sent."

Shen Yanlang casually changed Duan Xu's contact note to his name, then sent Duan Xu his own schedule before opening Duan Xu's to look at it.

After a moment, Shen Yanlang said, "Our class times overlap quite a bit, and most of them are in the same building. We can go together from now on?"

Duan Xu quietly drew in a breath and smiled. "Sure."

Wasn't this heaven helping him?

Shen Yanlang froze for a moment. Duan Xu's smile was infectious; when he smiled, his brows and eyes curved beautifully, making others want to smile too.

[His smile is pretty nice.]

[He feels a little different from this morning.]

Duan Xu: "..."

Thanks for the compliment. Of course the morning me was not the same as the current me!

After adding each other as friends, the two did not have much to say. Shen Yanlang opened his computer and worked on something, while Duan Xu, having nothing to do, played a little game.

At around eleven thirty, Shen Yanlang and Duan Xu left together for lunch at the cafeteria. On the way there and while they ate, Shen Yanlang still drew the attention of many people.

After lunch, Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang went to Club Culture Street. Recruitment booths lined both sides, some with standing signs set up beside them.

"Recruiting, recruiting! The Martial Arts Club is recruiting!"

"The Anime Club is recruiting! As long as you're an anime fan, we welcome everyone!"

"Hey, classmate, want to check out the Basketball Club?"

"Is there any club you want to join?" Shen Yanlang asked Duan Xu as he looked around.

Duan Xu was looking around too. He was somewhat interested in clubs, but he did not know what to join. "What about you? Is there anything you want to join?"

Shen Yanlang's gaze swept over the booths before settling on one with a mountain bike on display. "The Cycling Club," he said flatly.

Hearing that, Duan Xu looked over. There were not many people at the Cycling Club booth, only a few interested freshmen asking questions, while only one senior was there to answer them.

"I'll go take a look." Shen Yanlang intended to ask about it.

Duan Xu followed him. "I'll take a look too."

If Shen Yanlang joined the Cycling Club, then he would join too. That would give him even more chances to build a good relationship with him.

After weaving through the crowd, the two arrived at the Cycling Club booth just as those few people finished asking their questions and left. Shen Yanlang stepped forward and asked, "Senior, I'd like to learn more. Could you tell me about it in detail?"

"Of course!" Huang Yonghe was the president of the Cycling Club. Though he was a beta, he was from the sports academy, and his muscles could not be hidden. "Our Cycling Club is a group of like-minded people who get together and go cycling."

"Don't worry, we don't have many club activities—twice a semester at most." Huang Yonghe introduced it enthusiastically. "We mainly go to nearby parks and scenic spots. You get to ride, have some fun, and it won't take up too much of your free time."

After hearing the introduction, Shen Yanlang thought it sounded pretty good and asked directly, "How do we sign up?"

Huang Yonghe beamed and handed over a registration form. "Come on, fill out your basic information here. I'll add each of you tonight, then pull you into the club group."

"I'm joining too!" Duan Xu had only wanted to follow Shen Yanlang, but after hearing the club president's introduction, he had become interested as well.

Huang Yonghe nodded with a smile. "Sure. Fill one out after he's done."

"Okay, Senior."

Huang Yonghe looked at the two of them. When his gaze met Shen Yanlang's flawless profile, he could not help saying, "Junior, let me tell you, if you join our club, you'll definitely attract a whole bunch of omegas and betas."

After saying that, he asked, "Do you have someone already, Junior?"

Shen Yanlang finished filling out the form and straightened up. "No," he said flatly.

"Heh, with looks like yours, you're definitely not short of admirers." Huang Yonghe smiled. "You have to cherish your university years. If you meet someone suitable, you should give dating a try."

Shen Yanlang gave a noncommittal hum and said nothing more.

[Not interested. Don't want to date. Too troublesome.]

Duan Xu secretly laughed as he filled out his form. People were always so committed to setting flags, only to knock them down themselves.

Duan Xu was bent over, exposing a section of his neck—slender, fair, and delicate. Shen Yanlang looked at it twice more.

[Pretty fair.]

What was fair?

"Senior, I'm done." Duan Xu straightened and handed over the registration form.

"Alright. Accept my request when I add you tonight." Huang Yonghe took it and checked it over. After confirming there were no issues, he set it down again.

After the two left, they wandered around for another round. When they found no other clubs that interested them, they returned to the dorm together.

By the time they got back, Zhou Zhou and Xiao Xu had already returned. Seeing them, Zhou Zhou asked, "Did you guys go to Culture Street? Lots of clubs are recruiting there."

"We did." Duan Xu answered with a smile. "Yan-ge and I signed up for the Cycling Club."

"Heh! Xu-ge and I signed up too!" Zhou Zhou looked delighted.

Xiao Xu chuckled foolishly. "That's great! Then everyone in our dorm can go together. How awesome is that?"

"Mm." Shen Yanlang responded and glanced at Duan Xu beside him.

[I want to hear that a few more times.]

Duan Xu was full of question marks again.

Then Shen Yanlang's phone chimed. He sat down and took it out. It was a message from Xue Jingshu.

Xue Jingshu: [The Student Council is recruiting. Just come directly; you don't need an interview.]

Shen Yanlang replied without hesitation: [Not coming. Not interested.]

Xue Jingshu: [With your abilities, if you join the Student Council, you'll definitely become the next Student Council president. You can take over for me.]

Shen Yanlang: [Not interested. Find someone else.]

Xue Jingshu: [...Fine.]

Xue Jingshu: [Let's have a meal together when you're free.]

Shen Yanlang: [Mm.]

[There are only a few years of university. There's no need to waste them all on the Student Council. Have fun while you can; later, you might not get the chance even if you want to.]

Duan Xu turned his head and glanced at Shen Yanlang. The Student Council?

Then he remembered that Shen Yanlang came from an elite family and did not need to worry about finding work after graduation. In that case, he really should enjoy university life more.

What was more, Shen Yanlang had not joined the family company after graduation. Instead, he started his own software company.

Tsk, as expected of the male lead. There really were not many people who could compare to those circumstances.

Duan Xu shook his head slightly. He was not jealous. He only wanted to change his cannon-fodder ending and live his own little life.
