"Thank you so much, senior. You really helped me a lot," Wen Xiaojing said as she submitted the club establishment application to the Student Union office and went through a series of procedures including stamping and approval. The so-called Joy Society has now become a legitimate operational club.
With a beaming smile on her face, Wen Xiaojing felt that her wish had finally come true. As for me, I went through a lot of perilous experiences. I already had a knee injury to begin with, and now I had to go through even more life-threatening situations. The younger students these days are becoming more and more ruthless, showing less respect for their seniors and resorting to such despicable means.
"I also want to thank Senior Zhiye. Without her help, the club wouldn't have been able to be established." In that urgent situation, Zhiye was my lifesaver. I am grateful that she didn't refuse my request. Another stroke of luck was that Zhiye didn't participate in the club activities. Wen Xiaojing expressed her gratitude to Zhiye.
"No need to thank me so earnestly. I did all this for Jie," Zhiye replied politely with a smile, but for some reason, her tone seemed tinged with a hint of hostility.
"Now we need to prepare for the club activities," Wen Xiaojing completely ignored everything else and immersed herself in planning the specific preparations for the club.
"Thank you very much, Senior Zhiye and Senior Youjie," it was Stella's turn to express her gratitude. She appeared calm and adorable as she bowed towards me and Zhiye.
"It wasn't much help really," I scratched my head.
"If it wasn't for Senior Youjie's assistance, the club would have faced the possibility of ending before it even began. So I am really grateful to Senior Youjie and Senior Zhiye," Stella bowed again.
"I have received your gratitude, no need to bow any further."
Compared to Wen Xiaojing, Stella was clearly more polite. Wen Xiaojing should learn from Stella.
"As for those photos, I will make sure Stella deletes all of them."
"Please make sure she deletes them," it's best to delete the indecent photos of high school students as soon as possible.
"I'll go tell Xiaojing now." Stella said as she ran towards Wen Xiaojing.
"Jie, have you been cheating on me behind my back?"
Why did Zhiye's face suddenly become terrifying?
"No, I would never do such a thing."
"Oh, okay." Zhiye's expression returned to normal. I've always been curious why Zhiye never questions further. Instead, she blindly believes whatever I say, no matter how I answer.
"Anyway, I also want to thank Zhiye. When I was in danger and had no other options, Zhiye helped me. She didn't show any signs of refusal and even willingly signed on the application form. She also took care of me meticulously when I had difficulty walking for the past few days."
"That's what a wife should do," Zhiye has always been persistent in this regard. However, it's a bit troublesome for me to have a wife in high school. Not only will I be criticized for not focusing on my studies, but I'll also be accused of being influenced by questionable social behavior.
"Let's not discuss such matters in a big environment like school," I whispered to Zhiye.
"Why?" Zhiye looked puzzled.
"It's just not right for people at school to think I have a wife or something," I said.
"Getting married and becoming husband and wife is a process that we all have to go through, so how can it be wrong?" Zhiye asked.
"Well... that's something for when we're adults. It's still too far away for me as a minor," I replied.
"But I'm already an adult," Zhiye said, jokingly. No, I'm just talking to myself here.
"Even though Zhiye is an adult, the identity he represents now is that of a student, so he should fulfill his responsibilities as a student," said Zhiye. That's good to understand what I said.
"Oh, I see," Zhiye smiled knowingly. It's great that he understands.
"But, can't you be in a romantic relationship?" Zhiye's words almost stunned me.
"Why are we talking about this again?"
"Isn't it allowed to be in love?" Zhiye smiled at me. I was somewhat speechless in this situation. Although relationships are forbidden in school, I don't think this rule can stop students from falling in love. Besides, when Su Yuqian confessed to me in my first year of high school, it was also with the intention of dating, so I have no grounds to refute Zhiye.
"Well, it depends on the situation," I said, feeling uncomfortable as the topic got deeper and wanting to escape.
"So, I want to talk to Jie..."
"Senior, as a member of the club, you can't hide and slack off," Wen Xiaojing interrupted at the wrong time, but it actually helped me. I feel a bit sorry for Zhiye, as she seemed to have something to say but got interrupted.
"Didn't we say it's enough to be a ghost member?"
"Who said that, Senior?" Wen Xiaojing looked puzzled.
"Isn't it?" I asked.
"Of course not. Club activities require a minimum of four members to participate," Wen Xiaojing suddenly became excited.
"Didn't we still have two ghost members?"
"Senior, your memory is really bad. Ghost members don't participate in club activities, they are just in name. But for a club to function, there must be at least four regular members participating in club activities," Wen Xiaojing explained.
"It's really troublesome."
"Don't complain here. Come and help, or else I'll post a picture of Senior teasing a junior on the internet." This was a tougher move. As Wen Xiaojing said the core part of her sentence in a low voice, Zhiye didn't hear it.
"So, ordering people around even before the club activities start?"
I felt dissatisfied, but Wen Xiaojing didn't care at all. She pushed me from behind and made me follow her instructions.
We arrived at the activity room, which only had one table and a few chairs. It hadn't been used for a long time, so it was covered in dust.
"Senior, you can handle carrying water and mopping the floor." Wen Xiaojing was not lenient when it came to assigning tasks.
"But these are physical tasks." It's everyone's right to protest.
"Because Senior is a boy, he is well-suited for physical tasks. We can't possibly ask the girls to carry water," Wen Xiaojing said confidently.
"Yes, I understand that doing this task alone will be very tiring." It's not that I'm afraid of being tired, but I don't want to indulge her in this bad habit.
"I'll help Youjie/Jie." Suddenly, I heard two voices from different directions saying the same thing at the same time. It seemed that Stella, who said it at the same time as Zhiye, shyly lowered her head.
"Let me do it myself." In any case, I shouldn't let girls do physical work. Although it seemed unrealistic to break Wen Xiaojing's imposing manner, I went to the water station to get a bucket and a mop and started cleaning the activity room.
During the process, I also discovered some small animals living in this activity room, like spiders and flies. Wen Xiaojing remained calm, but I could still tell that she was a bit scared. Stella, on the other hand, was too scared to open her eyes. As for Zhiye, he fearlessly killed the spider.
In any case, it took quite some time to clean up the activity room, but Wen Xiaojing seemed very satisfied after sticking the printed door sign in the center of the door.
"Now, there shouldn't be anything left, right?" After returning the mop and broom to their original places, I dusted off my clothes and looked around the activity room.
"There's still a finale." Wen Xiaojing said with a suspenseful tone.
"A finale?" Just when I couldn't understand what unresolved mystery there was, Wen Xiaojing pointed to several cardboard boxes not far from the activity room.
"Please bring those cardboard boxes inside."
"By the way, why are there several cardboard boxes here?" I walked in the direction where the cardboard boxes were placed while asking.
"What's going on... unexpectedly heavy!" Just when I thought I could easily lift them, they suddenly felt very heavy, almost hurting my back.
"What's inside?" I shouted from here.
"Don't be talkative, just bring them over." The response from the other side was still unpleasant. They didn't help, but they were good at commanding people.
"Jie, do you want me to help?" Zhiye came over and offered to help.
"It looks heavy, I'll help too, Youjie senior." Even Stella kindly offered to help, but only Wen Xiaojing didn't. I really wanted to cook their fingernails and make Wen Xiaojing drink it.
"I can handle it myself, you just need to watch." Without showing any signs of effort, Wen Xiaojing, without the help of Zhiye and Stella, moved the boxes inside.
"So tired... exhausted." I rested my hands on my knees and breathed heavily. There were sweat beads all over my forehead.
"Youjie senior, drink some water." Stella handed me a bottle of water.
"Thank you." I opened the bottle and drank it all in one breath.
"Senior, you need more exercise. It's just a few cardboard boxes, why are you sweating so much and panting?" Wen Xiaojing opened the boxes while making sarcastic remarks.
"Why don't you try moving them yourself?" I replied angrily.
"Senior, you're not gentle at all. You don't even think about the well-being of girls." Wen Xiaojing said with a whining tone. Not only does she not understand gratitude, her attitude is also so unpredictable. I really wished to use a time-restricting item to temporarily shut her up.
"This logistics company is quite responsible," Wen Xiaojing said. I was a bit puzzled about the logistics company, but I was very surprised when I saw what was inside the boxes.
"The game console is fine, the screen is also fine, and the karaoke machine is intact," he said.
Why are all these boxes filled with these kinds of things?
"Senior, stop dawdling and help me plug in the power strip," he said.
"Why is there all this stuff in the recreation room?" I asked.
"Isn't it strange? Senior," Wen Xiaojing looked at me with a strange expression.
"It is strange, isn't it? It's just like having your own home. Isn't it strange at all?" I said.
"The recreation room is just our little paradise. Senior, you're really overreacting," he said.
This guy is really acting as he pleases.
