"Youjie... let's go participate in club activities!"

As you can see, the more you interact with He Yuqing, the more obvious his flaws become. Aside from his enthusiasm for his position, he is also very interested in school club activities. As someone who used to be a homebody, I still stick to my old ways and refuse to participate in club activities.

"Sorry, not interested."

"Club activities are said to be a microcosm of society. If we don't experience it, we won't gain the necessary experience."

"Whether I gain it or not is irrelevant to me."

"Youjie, what you're saying is completely wrong. If we don't experience it, we will miss out on a crucial aspect of the system, leading to its collapse."

That's an exaggeration. All I know is that without a strong foundation in studying, it's easy to fail.

"Let it collapse then."

"Youjie, out of the twenty of us, you're the only one who refuses to participate in club activities. Everyone else is eager to join."

"Is that so? Then tell me."

"From what I know, some have joined the Literature Club, others have joined the Baseball Club, and some have joined the eSports Club."

He Yuqing spoke with great enthusiasm. The eSports Club does seem interesting, but even if I'm interested, I won't join. After all, I'm not good at any games and I don't want to embarrass myself if I join.

So, for my own comfort, it's better not to join any club.

"What club are you planning to join?"

"The Tea Ceremony Club."

"Huh? Just for drinking tea?"

"You're completely wrong if you think that. Besides drinking tea, the Tea Ceremony Club also trains your sensitivity to tea. For example, being able to identify the type of tea just by tasting it."

"I think that's pretty impressive."

"Right? So, Youjie, do you want to consider joining the Tea Ceremony Club?"

"I am slightly interested in drinking tea."

"Well?"

"Never mind..."

"Why not!?" He Yuqing seemed disappointed.

"As a male protagonist, why would I join a Tea Ceremony Club? Aren't you afraid of people making fun of you?"

"What does it matter? It's still a club activity."

He Yuqing pouted, and that expression made me feel a little disgusted. He's too feminine.

"I recommend that you join the Wrestling or Track and Field Club instead."

"Those... don't suit me. They involve running or getting thrown around, which would be tiring."

"...Fine, then just join the Tea Ceremony Club." I was completely out of ideas with this hopeless guy.

"Youjie, come with me."

"Sorry, I refuse. I don't want to accompany a guy to join club activities. Don't lead me into a pit."

"I heard that the president of the Tea Ceremony Club is a gentle beauty who makes amazing tea. It's highly praised, and she doesn't have a boyfriend yet."

"If you want to pursue her, go ahead."

"I'm recommending her to you, you know?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Don't try to tempt me with a beautiful woman. I'm not falling for it.

"Just go, just go. It wouldn't hurt to visit and get to know the situation before deciding whether to join."

"Do you think you can easily leave a wolf's den? You can go by yourself."

"I feel embarrassed to go alone."

"Are you not man enough!?"

"Just this once, please."

He Yuqing pushed me forward,

"Where can I find someone like you?" I was really speechless,

"Hehe,"

From that moment on, I had a inexplicable dislike for people like He Yuqing,

Should I really accompany him? He must be wanting to hit on the girls in the tea ceremony club, that's why he's so excited. I can't fall for his trick,

Just when I didn't know what to do, Zhiye appeared,

"Sis..."

"Ah... Zhiye,"

"What are you doing here?"

Zhiye's expression was kind of scary. She had previously told me to stay away from He Yuqing, but it's not that I don't want to, I just can't,

"Is Zhiye planning to join a club? Youjie and I are planning to join the tea ceremony club. Does Zhiye want to join too?"

This is an attempt to pull Zhiye into the mix, but you don't know that Zhiye has some issues with you,

"Sis, can you come over?"

Zhiye suddenly switched to big sister mode. Now I'm the little brother in her eyes who wants to play with other kids and ignores her,

"What are you doing? Youjie is going to accompany me to the tea ceremony club,"

He Yuqing grabbed my shoulder and wouldn't let me go,

"Sis, don't you want to come?"

I do want to, but this guy won't let me go,

"In that case, I'll just have to kill both of you,"

Zhiye, always talking about killing,

"I said let go of me already,"

"Why should I let go? Are you so afraid of Zhiye?"

"You haven't experienced it, that's why you don't know how terrifying it is,"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

"If you don't let go, it'll be too late for everything,"

Zhiye's dark purple aura became even stronger, and it seemed like I could even hear crackling electric sounds,

"It might have been a joke before, but it's not a joke anymore. If you really want to die, I won't stop you, but at least I still want to live,"

"Is it that extreme? Zhiye isn't that scary, right?"

"Unforgivable, unforgivable,"

"Ah, ah!"

"What's your name!?" He Yuqing suddenly shouted, scaring me,

"It's nothing, it's nothing." This guy's face was all sweaty,

"Why are you afraid now?"

"I'm not afraid at all, haha..."

"You look ridiculous now,"

"Youjie, weren't you scared to death too?"

"Being scared to death is a normal reaction, you know,"

"Then this is also a normal reaction,"

He Yuqing and I were on the same page in this matter,

"Um, Zhiye, Youjie is giving you back," He Yuqing pushed me and then threw himself into Zhiye's arms. He Yuqing ran away while I was sold out.

"Okay, I've mentally prepared myself for death,"

"Jie, uh..."

"Hmm? Why do I hear an irritating sound?"

"Stop pushing me around, I can't control myself."

"Ah ah ah! Sorry."

I immediately left Zhiye's embrace. No wonder I felt like my face was buried in something, a little suffocating but comfortable. I didn't expect...

Zhiye blushed,

"As long as Jie is okay," if it were anyone else, they would have punched him already. But Zhiye was gentle to the point of intoxication, except for when he became dark,

"Jie, didn't I say not to get too close to him?" Zhiye reproachfully said,

"I don't want to either, but he's very clingy,"

I said with helplessness,

"Jie is too soft-hearted in this regard. You can't indulge him like this,"

"Zhiye is right. This guy takes advantage and never stops," to be honest, I'm really not good at dealing with people like He Yuqing, especially when he acts like a girl even though he's a man,

"Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

"A lesson?"

"Yes... Give him a taste of his medicine so that he won't cling to you anymore,"

I was surprised to hear that Zhiye was willing to stand up for me,

"But how should we teach him a lesson? Beat him up?"

"With a knife..."

"A knife?!"

"Yes..."

"But your knife was confiscated when you entered school,"

"Oh right, that is a problem without a knife,"

Zhiye habitually touched his waist and found that he indeed didn't have a knife, and he looked troubled. I, on the other hand, was even more troubled. If Zhiye really brought a knife to teach He Yuqing a lesson, that wouldn't be good at all. Someone could get killed,

"So let's forget about it. There's no loss anyway,"

"No, that won't do. If we don't do something, he will keep clinging to you and getting close to you. Absolutely not allowed,"

Zhiye said seriously,

"But... he's a guy," even though I've said it hundreds of times, it seems that Zhiye still hasn't taken it to heart, so I have to mention it again,

"Even if he's a guy, but he looks like a girl. Jie might be deceived by him. I can't allow Jie to have any contact with him,"

"Even if you say that, I think the chances of this happening are almost zero,"

"A lot of things have a certain probability. What if Jie gets swayed? As Jie's fiancée, I would be at fault. So I must protect Jie and ensure that Jie has a normal sexual orientation,"

"This won't happen no matter what. I have confidence in myself,"

"Human beings are creatures prone to infidelity. Even if Jie says confidently that it won't, there's no telling what might happen the next second. Jie could end up with He Yuqing,"

Ah... I can't even imagine that scene,

"Well, since Zhiye said it like that, I'll leave it to you,"

"Just trust me, Jie," Zhiye smiled slightly and went to chase after He Yuqing. I don't know what the outcome will be, but I just hope it won't end up in tragedy.

Now there's only me left, and it's still early. I plan to wander around the school. Standing at the bulletin board, there are many club leaders loudly promoting their clubs to recruit members. I'm really not interested and decide to avoid them, but somehow I still get targeted.

"Hey, classmate, do you want to join the Literature Club?"

"Hey, young man, do you want to join the Big Brother Club?"

Big Brother? Oh no, those muscles are making me dizzy.

"The Knitting Club still needs one more member, please help us out."

"The Supernatural Research Society still needs one more member."

Naturally, there are also these strange clubs. It looks like they're newly established and lack enough members. The popular clubs don't need to promote themselves like this; you just join on your own. Among them, the Tea Ceremony Club, Dance Club, and Art Club only have one flyer and I haven't seen any club leaders.

"Wow, there's even a Cosplay Club here."

Suddenly, it reminds me of something sentimental.

"Do you want to join the Cosplay Club? We have unique costumes that we make ourselves."

"Uh, I'm just here to take a look."

"Oh, I see. Well, if you're interested, you're welcome to join us."

"Hey, classmate, why don't you learn about our Judo Club?"

Okay, enough is enough. I shouldn't have come to this place. But I also got caught up in this field without paying attention. Just when I was getting a headache, a short-haired girl suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me out of this crowd.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

"Senpai... Don't talk. Just follow me."

She just keeps running with me. Then we turn a corner and enter the school building.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Senpai, those guys won't bother us here."

"Where is this?"

"It's the school's academic building. Those guys are really desperate. They might chase after us. You go hide in there for now." After she finished, she pushed open a door. Before I could figure out what was going on, I was already inside, and then I heard a click sound. It sounds like the door was locked.
