Cheng Che looked at the reply on his phone screen and cursed himself inwardly.
He's still being narcissistic.
Does he really think he's so handsome everyone loves him?
He typed a reply.
[ Cheng Che: Yes, is there something you need?]
At the other end of the Peking University cafeteria, Su Miaoyin was eating with two roommates.
Her phone vibrated. She glanced down at it, her lips twitched slightly, and then she started typing.
Lin Lin, her roommate, leaned over and asked, "Who is it?"
Su Miaoyin pulled her hand back, trying to pull the screen closer to her chest. But she was a beat too slow; Lin Lin had already seen the name at the top of the chat box.
Cheng Che
Lin Lin's eyes widened instantly.
"You... you're in a relationship?"
My roommate Zhao Xiaoman across from me also looked up, her face full of surprise:
"It's not that junior you went to deliver water to today, is it? Wow, you really like him? I thought you lost a bet."
Lin Lin slammed her hand on the table. "Do you know what that junior looks like?"
Zhao Xiaoman looked completely bewildered.
She only returned to school today, so of course she doesn't know what Cheng Che has recently become a sensation on Tieba, looks like.
Lin Lin took out the photos on her phone and handed them to her.
Zhao Xiaoman glanced down.
There was a two-second silence.
Then she looked up, staring at Su Miaoyin with a serious expression. "You deserve to die. How could you make a move on a god of this caliber so quickly?"
Speechless, Su Miaoyin put her phone away. "I just need to talk to him about something."
She shook her head and continued typing.
[ Su Miaoyin: No, I just want to get to know her. I'm a musician, and Sister Ning is a talented singer-songwriter, and she's also my idol...]
Cheng Che saw the message, leaned back in his chair, and thought for a moment.
Yan Ruanning is a singer-songwriter with excellent singing skills.
Su Miaoyin is the president of the music club.
She wanted to get to know Yan Ruanning because she was her "idol".
That reason makes sense.
But he had just been embarrassed by his own presumptuousness.
You can't speak politely just because the person opposite you is beautiful.
You made me feel narcissistic and embarrassed.
We must retaliate.
Cheng Che: She hasn't returned to the Capital City yet. Besides... why should I introduce her to you?
Su Miaoyin was stunned when she saw this reply.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never lacked people who fawn over her.
She's rich, beautiful, and always gets fawned over wherever she goes.
This was the first time anyone had spoken to her in this tone.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing the inexplicable grievance in her heart.
[ Su Miaoyin: What do I have to do for you to agree?]
Cheng Che smiled when he saw this.
[ Cheng Che: Aren't you the president of the music club? You must be very knowledgeable about music. How about you give me free lessons in music? I want to learn songwriting.]
Su Miaoyin stared at the message for several seconds, then let out a cold laugh.
So it turns out he was just trying to pick me up.
He also writes songs.
That's quite a roundabout excuse.
However, she didn't refuse... What's a little price to pay for getting to know Sister Ning?
[ Su Miaoyin: Sure. Come find me in the music club classroom when you're free.]
Cheng Che saw the reply and put down his phone with satisfaction.
Get a free teaching tool for free.
good.
Three days of military training have passed.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, we rested.
Cheng Che woke up from his afternoon nap, picked up the book " Music Theory Basics," packed two newly bought advanced textbooks, and prepared to go out.
Wang Zheng was playing a game on his computer when he heard the noise. He turned his head and glanced at him. "Where are you going?"
"Go study." Cheng Che waved the book in his hand.
Wang Zheng glanced at the books, then at Cheng Che, and said nothing.
After Cheng Che left, Wang Zheng played the game for a while longer, then pushed the mouse away and leaned back in his chair.
"To be honest, it's a bit boring. How about we check out the various clubs? They're recruiting tomorrow, and there aren't many people here today, so it's a good opportunity to get a feel for things."
Zhou Hao jumped out of bed. "Let's go see the music club!"
Wang Zheng glanced at him. "You want to see Su Miaoyin, don't you?"
" Brother Che isn't interested in Su Miaoyin," Zhou Hao said matter-of-factly. "Besides, I think Su Miaoyin only brought water that day because she lost a bet. You see, she didn't come again for the next few days. Isn't that obvious?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense."
Wang Zheng also stood up. "Okay, let's go check out the other clubs first."
The three of them left the dormitory and, following the information on the flyer, walked around the teaching building.
The first thing we passed was the anime club.
A huge poster was pasted on the classroom door, depicting a character from a popular anime series, and it was very brightly colored.
The door was ajar, and inside, several senior students were gathered around a table cutting cardboard, with paints and brushes piled on the table.
A female senior with pigtails saw them peeking in and waved with a smile:
"Come sign up tomorrow! We have dance, cosplay, and hand-drawn art—there's something for everyone!"
Zhou Hao politely said "I'll come tomorrow" and quickened his pace.
Next up is the photography club.
A tripod was set up at the entrance, with a telephoto lens mounted on it, pointed at the ginkgo tree outside the window.
A senior student wearing glasses was squatting on the ground adjusting parameters, while two freshmen watched from the side.
The walls were covered with members' artwork, including landscapes, portraits, and a few photos that looked like they were taken in Tibet.
Li Yuan glanced at it a couple more times before Wang Zheng pulled him away.
The cycling club is next door.
A mountain bike was parked in the classroom, its rear wheel removed and leaning against the wall, with wrenches and Allen wrenches scattered around it.
A senior student wearing cycling gear was squatting on the ground patching a tire, while another senior student handed him glue.
The blackboard at the entrance read, "Weekend training exercise, 80 kilometers in total."
The drama club was the most lively.
Several chairs were set up in the classroom as props, and two female students were rehearsing their lines, speaking with great enthusiasm and gesturing wildly.
A senior student nearby was taking notes with a script. When he saw the three of them peeking out, he immediately rushed out.
Hey there! Do you like performing? We have a welcome show next week, come check it out!
In the classrooms of the anime club, photography club, cycling club, and drama club, upperclassmen were setting up the venue.
There aren't many people, since the official recruitment isn't until tomorrow.
After wandering around for a while, the three of them arrived at the floor where the music club was located.
Wang Zheng yawned. "There's definitely no one here. Su Miaoyin is probably not here either."
Zhou Hao was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. Li Yuan checked the time and said, "Let's go back then."
Just as the three were about to turn around, they suddenly heard a voice.
It was coming from the classroom at the end of the corridor.
A woman's voice, very clear.
"You have a strong learning ability. You've basically mastered this ' Music Theory Basics ' book, but if you want to write songs, you still need to study more advanced topics."
The three of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Zhou Hao's eyes widened.
Wang Zheng and Li Yuan exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
They crept closer to the classroom and pushed open the door a crack.
In the classroom, Su Miaoyin stood beside Cheng Che, her head slightly lowered.
She held one of Cheng Che's textbooks in her hand, her fingertip pointing to a line of words on the page.
Cheng Che sat in the chair, tilting his head to look at the spot she was pointing to; the two were very close.
From this angle, it looks like the two of them are kissing.
Zhou Hao's mouth opened into an "O" shape.
Wang Zheng covered his mouth, but his eyes were wide open, bigger than saucers.
Li Yuan expressionlessly took out his phone and snapped a photo.
The three of them simultaneously shouted in their hearts--
Holy crap, godfather, you're amazing!
