"Put it here and it'll be fine."

Take the stack of sorted workbooks (

And put them on Teacher Meiya's desk,

The task is considered complete, and there shouldn't be anything else to do, should just quietly leave,

But a sentence from Teacher Meiya almost made me leave in embarrassment.

"I think you can be a class monitor."

"Huh?"

I was surprised, or rather, I didn't even think about it. Teacher Meiya actually wanted to assign me a position.

Adhering to the principles of the Homecoming Department has always been my motto. Although it is now a boarding school, I still do not want to pursue an official position. Isn't it an eternal truth that being light without official ranks is a good thing?

"I don't think I'm suitable."

"Teacher thinks you can do it well in this aspect."

Arranging other classmates, like being in charge of hygiene duty in the class, always feels like a thankless job for the class monitor.

I don't even want to do it even if you give me money.

"Maybe you'll even get a certificate at the end of the semester."

No, I'm not in elementary school. Getting a certificate can make me happy for half a day, but it doesn't mean I'll become a devoted fool just because I got a certificate.

No...definitely not.

"Well...I really don't think I'm suitable."

"Oh...if you don't want to be the class monitor, I won't force you."

I'm really grateful that Teacher Meiya didn't insist. In any case, having a conversation with a teacher always ends up with a lot of trouble. It's better to leave as soon as possible.

"By the way, have you participated in any club activities, Youjie?"

I was about to leave the office, but I had to turn back because of this question.

"Ah, club activities."

"Yeah, tell me quickly which clubs you joined."

What a busybody teacher.

"Club of Joy." Trying to hide this would only prolong the time being questioned by the teacher, and I really want to get rid of this situation of being questioned by the teacher.

I just want to go out, that's all.

"Club of Joy? Sounds...a bit low-class."

I know this too. But what can you do? They want to have such a name, what can you do? I'm grateful that I didn't come up with a more stupid and ridiculous club name.

"What activities do you organize?"

This way of asking seems a bit official. Teachers shouldn't meddle in such matters, theoretically.

"Well..." I can't say singing, dancing, and rapping, right? Even though I have nothing to do with them, hehehe.

"What? Is there a problem with the club activities?" Teacher Meiya started to doubt.

"It's still being planned. However, because there is no teacher to supervise the club, so...the club is still in the preparation stage."

"I see..." Teacher Meiya showed an understanding expression.

"Um...is there no teacher willing to be your supervisor?"

This is also a problem that has been bothering me.

"No."

"It's so cruel to strangle your dream in the cradle."

My dream is not to establish a club, ah.

"For your dream, the teacher is willing to help you without reservation."

Teacher Meiya stood up happily and said.

"Um..." The sudden change of tone made me stunned.

"What I mean is that the teacher is willing to be your club's supervisor."

What did you bribe her with, teacher?

"I don't want to see your dream shattered."

Well, what I want to clarify is that, it's not me who wants to start a club, and there is someone else for that. Moreover, I just want to be a dedicated member of the Homecoming Department.

"That's decided then," she decided without consulting anyone, is there really no problem with that? Moreover, why don't you ask about the purpose of the Joyful Society, Teacher?

Sing, dance, rap, bah, it's just for fun!

"Once you gather all the members, then give me the application form, and the teacher will sign their name on it in a grand manner."

You'll be sold like that, Teacher!

"The teacher is happy to be able to help you."

I really want to say that I didn't create that club, and I just want to be a member of the Homecoming Club,

but it's useless, the teacher is already intoxicated by their own great deed, and completely ignores my words of protest,

Well, I'll just leave obediently,

On my way to the dormitory, I feel quite helpless, but then I think about how I unknowingly solved one problem, which is having a supervising teacher for the club,

What kind of idiotic development is this, the plot is so cliché,

I'm venting my frustrations, but no one can hear the voice in my heart,

Cliché is cliché, anyway there are already a lot of messy things happening, adding one more doesn't make a difference,

In any case, I solved one problem,

"Oh well..."

It's hard to avoid being happy, so I make a joyful cheer, finding happiness in adversity is a necessary practice for humans,

"Oh... Youjie,"

Someone calls me, startling me,

Turning around, I see a refined face, slender figure wearing the boys' uniform, having a certain kind of aura...

No... let me correct it, it's like a little boy appearing in front of me, who is of uncertain gender (he says he's a boy), my classmate and roommate, a peculiar person with odd behavior and casual way of talking,

"Oh" I also extend my hand as a greeting,

"No club activities today?"

"Yes, of course..."

I have to admit that his tone doesn't match his appearance,

"If you have club activities, why are you still here?"

"Today the Tea Ceremony Club is resting..."

The club activities are actually resting, what's the deal with that,

"That's just bizarre,"

"Do you want that kind of thing? If the Tea Ceremony Club is resting, what can I do?"

He is clearly trying to pick a fight with me,

"I didn't provoke you..."

"Hehe,"

Suddenly he's all smiley, I really want to punch him,

"Nothing, I'll go back to the dormitory first,"

"Why are you going back so soon? It's still some time before it gets dark, it's a good time to do things now, since everyone is already back at the dormitory, right?"

"What misunderstood nonsense are you talking about? Are you... brain damaged?"

"Brain damaged?"

I nodded,

"You mean here?" he pointed to his own head with his finger,

Okay, you're beyond saving,

"I'm leaving..."

"Hey, Youjie, don't go, I'm not the one with a brain problem,"

Don't you know? I stopped in my tracks,

"Recently, this kind of silly and clueless attribute is not very popular, right?"

I see this pretending to be clueless as a clear sign of having a problem with the brain, and it's not cute at all, it doesn't evoke any positive feelings, it just feels disgusting,

"You're right, Youjie," He Yuqing said with a smile, I really want to tell him to go away, but he's so flamboyant,

How can I live under the same roof as someone like him? My values are about to be distorted,

No, I have to leave this guy, if I stay with him for even a second, it will further corrupt my sanity.

"In any case, I'll head back to the dormitory first."

"Why are you in such a hurry, Youjie? There's something I forgot to tell you."

What is he trying to start now?

"Well... Zhiye said she's waiting for you at the entrance of the boys' dormitory."

"Where did you hear that from?"

I asked with a serious expression,

"Well... of course, I asked her," He Yuqing replied with a mischievous smile.

"I feel like the castle has been breached, and you're the first traitor," I said.

"I'm not that kind of person," He Yuqing retorted unwillingly.

"Nevermind, let's go find somewhere else to kill time."

"Aren't you going to meet Zhiye?" he asked.

"Who would go!" I said loudly.

"Aren't you two in a relationship?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's find a place quickly," I said.

"Youjie, you're really impatient. There are plenty of good places, but you have to treat me first," He Yuqing's true intentions were revealed when he said this.

"Ah... This is delicious. This strawberry sundae, and this ice cream, and hot dogs," I want to clarify that this guy is definitely a foodie, and he really loves sweets.

Aren't you afraid of diabetes?

We ate like this until 8 pm and then returned to the dormitory. The money spent was heartbreaking. During this time, Zhiye seemed to have sent many messages, but I only replied with "I'm busy" to brush her off.

"Let's continue tomorrow, Youjie."

"Do you want me to go bankrupt because of you eating?"

"What's the big deal?"

"It's not your money, so it doesn't matter."

Sigh... I really regret not changing dorms back then.
