Chapter 92 An Encounter
Chapter 92 An Encounter
No sooner had Bai Li left than Tang Tang quickly pulled out a photo of herself with Bai Li.
She sat on the edge of the bed, leaning forward, her fingers swiping rapidly across the screen as she expertly edited her photo, all the while muttering exclamations of admiration:
"What a blunder! What a blunder! I was worried that the young lady had a bad temper, but she turned out to be completely different from what I imagined."
Ye Lin returned with the succulents that had drunk their fill of water. She sat down and listened quietly to Tang Tang's nagging, softly agreeing, "Yes, we really shouldn't judge people by their appearance or have those stereotypes about them."
After carefully editing the photo, Tangtang smiled smugly and couldn't wait to post it on her WeChat Moments, adding a special caption:
"Yay! My beautiful and kind-hearted roommate and I, how did you know that the young lady gave everyone in our dorm a four-piece Apple set?"
The young lady's outstanding looks, coupled with Tang Tang's impactful caption, immediately garnered a large number of likes and comments on this post.
Seeing the constantly increasing number of likes and the comments filled with envy and jealousy, Tangtang's vanity was greatly satisfied.
My goodness, her dorm room is absolutely amazing!
There's Zhou Yue, the domineering and queen-like older sister; Ye Lin, the gentle and kind older sister next door; Shen Shi, the aloof academic genius; and Su Yao, the sporty and cheerful goddess.
Now, another chosen one, Bai Li, has arrived, who is excessively strong in every aspect.
I'm so glad I'm in this dorm!
She had a strong premonition that her dorm room would become the center of attention on campus! The eye of the storm of public opinion!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cheer in her heart: Wuhu! She loves it!
Suddenly, Tangtang saw a post on her WeChat Moments that someone had shared ten minutes earlier. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly turned to share it with the others in her dorm:
"Girls, I just saw someone say that a super handsome guy appeared downstairs in the girls' dormitory just now! Dorm leader, did you see him when you came back?"
Zhou Yue was sitting at the table organizing documents when she heard Tang Tang's words. She stopped what she was doing, frowned slightly as she tried to recall, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "No, I didn't notice any handsome guys when I came back."
Su Yao was standing in front of the wardrobe, rummaging through her clothes one by one, preparing to take a shower, when she heard their conversation. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Ah!"
"You're talking about Bai Li's boyfriend, right?"
"What???" Tang Tang jumped off the bed in a flash, rushed to Su Yao's side, grabbed Su Yao's arm tightly with both hands, and leaned in with a gossipy look on her face: "Tell me in detail!!! How handsome is he??? Tell me quickly!"
Su Yao tried hard to recall the scene she had just seen: "I can't describe it. If I had to, it would be like Berrettini in the tennis world, Thomas Daley in the diving world, or Toby Roberts in the rock climbing world?"
"Okay, stop!" Tang Tang stopped Su Yao from continuing to name people. She pouted and said helplessly, "I don't know any of these people you're talking about. I don't follow the sports world."
But if even Su Yao thinks he's handsome, then he must be really handsome!
This piqued the curiosity of even the usually calm and collected dormitory head, Zhou Yue.
She put down the documents in her hand, turned around, and looked at Su Yao with a hint of interest in her eyes, asking, "Su Yao, how do you know he's Bai Li's boyfriend? Don't make wild guesses, it's not good to misunderstand others."
Su Yao recounted the scene she had just witnessed: the young lady and that exceptionally handsome man were embracing tightly, their affectionate embrace clearly indicating they were a couple deeply in love, no doubt about it.
Su Yao: "He must have come to take Bai Li to school. The two of them hugged downstairs for a while."
As Tang Tang listened to Su Yao's description, she involuntarily swore, then suddenly hugged Su Yao tightly, screaming repeatedly.
"Ahhh! This is so sweet! I'm shipping them! I'm shipping them! Waaaaah, God help me, I'm so envious! Why don't I have this kind of luck? I really want to be in a relationship too, and find a handsome boyfriend! Su Yao, please introduce me to one, I like athletes."
Su Yao was taken aback by Tang Tang's sudden enthusiasm. She shrugged helplessly, spread her hands, and said, "I haven't been selected for the track and field team yet."
"Oh my, you're so outstanding, you'll definitely be selected! I believe in you! Once you're selected, you have to introduce me to someone right away!" Tang Tang hugged Su Yao tightly and said in a coquettish tone.
Tangtang buzzed incessantly in Su Yao's ear like a mosquito, pestering her for a long time. In the end, Su Yao couldn't resist anymore, sighed helplessly, and gave in, agreeing to her request.
This perfectly illustrates what Su Yao had just said to Bai Li in the corridor: "Don't easily get into a fight with Tang Tang, or you'll be driven crazy by her endless 'Tang Monk chanting scriptures' style of arguing."
------------------------------------
At this moment, Bai Li had no idea that such an interesting conversation had taken place in the dormitory after she left.
Sunlight, like scattered gold dust, spilled across the campus square, where the annual club recruitment event was in full swing.
From a distance, Bai Li was drawn to the lively sounds coming from the square, like surging waves, one after another, accompanied by a strong musical rhythm, as if it were going to overturn the entire campus.
Bai Li walked briskly through the bustling crowd.
The entire club recruitment event took up almost the entire square, which gives you an idea of how many clubs there were, with all kinds of clubs available.
The most eye-catching booth was the music club's.
In the very center of the square, the music club had meticulously set up a small open-air stage, where a band was now performing with great passion.
The sharp and passionate strings, with their stirring rhythms like surging waves, continuously struck people's heartstrings, powerful and resonant, making the entire square tremble.
The lead singer was a girl with short red hair. She held a microphone and sang a passionate rock song. She seemed like a blazing flame, freely expressing her enthusiasm.
Her voice clearly reached everyone's ears, as if possessing a magical power that captivated the surrounding students, and the crowd began to slowly gather.
The band's performance was like a grand carnival, with youthful energy permeating the air and eliciting screams from the audience.
As the song ended, the home crowd shouted with infectious energy:
"Music lovers, don't miss out on the music club! Let's chase our musical dreams together!"
This campus band seems to be quite popular at school. After their performance, they received applause from the entire audience, and some people in the crowd even screamed in support.
Bai Li secretly admired the performance, which was indeed excellent. The band members cooperated very well, and the atmosphere was lively. It was undoubtedly a high-quality performance.
Unfortunately, the music club wasn't the club that Bai Li was most interested in. After saying goodbye to the music club, Bai Li continued on her way.
Huadan University is far ahead in sports, which results in a wide variety of sports clubs, such as basketball club, football club, badminton club, etc. You can find a corresponding club for any competitive sport.
Unfortunately, joining these professional clubs requires passing relevant entrance exams, unless you want to join as a cheerleader or manager.
But this kind of position must be quite sought after, right? After all, it allows you to get up close and personal with those handsome or beautiful athletes.
Just as Bai Li was passing by, lost in thought, she was enthusiastically stopped by a girl from the basketball club: "Hey, classmate!"
The girl from the basketball club had bright, sparkling eyes and a warm smile on her face: "Hey kid, I see you have a special talent, why don't you join us?"
"Me?" Bai Li tilted her head slightly, pointing her fair finger at herself, a look of confusion on her face. "I can't play basketball."
"No need to know!" The girl from the basketball club had a hint of urgency in her eyes. "We just have a manager position available in our club, and you're perfect for it!"
"Our basketball club has lots of handsome guys with great physiques! Being the manager is awesome! You can help organize games, train with the team, and participate in all sorts of fun club activities."
"Huh?" The boys from the soccer club looked on with confusion, their faces full of bewilderment. "Didn't you just say you didn't need any more people? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Looking at Bai Li's expression, the basketball club girl thought excitedly: That's because she hasn't found the right one yet!
Sometimes, the appearance of a club manager can directly affect the results of a competition! A good-looking manager might attract more people to join their team.
She immediately retorted, "We're short-staffed right now!"
"Damn it! This evil world judges people by their looks!" The boys in the soccer club complained, but they immediately switched sides: "Our soccer club is also short of a manager! We have a lot of excellent players in our soccer club, it would be a lot of fun to join us."
Suddenly caught in a "battlefield," Bai Li awkwardly waved her hand in refusal, and the sports club wasn't her first choice either.
Of course, not all clubs are so enthusiastic. Academic research clubs, computer associations, and robotics research societies are more laid-back.
Bai Li quickly walked past; this kind of academic club wasn't for her, she preferred more relaxed club activities.
Besides many common clubs, Shirari also saw many strange and unusual clubs.
For example, there is a "Get Up Early Association" dedicated to uniting college students who have difficulty getting up in the morning and striving to help college students "get up early and eat breakfast";
For example, in the "Foodie Alliance," members are required to share food information regularly and report any new culinary discoveries to the organization immediately! They will explore food stalls around campus together, sample various delicacies, and then exchange their food experiences and share the joy that food brings within the club.
There's even a Pokémon support group that holds a Pokémon league every year...
Some of them made Bai Li's heart flutter, but after wandering around for a long time, she still couldn't find the one she was looking for.
"Is that Miss Bai Li?"
Bai Li suddenly heard someone call her name. She subconsciously turned around and thought she had misheard, but unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
"Guan Cha?" Bai Li was quite surprised to see the familiar face. She didn't expect to run into the latte art guy from the coffee shop near her house. She asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Guan Cha excitedly jogged over, his hair black and shiny, fluffy and natural, swaying slightly as he ran.
Her face was slightly childlike, her skin fair with a faint blush, and her doe-like eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and replied, "I go to school here. What are you doing here?"
Guan Cha was surprised to run into Bai Li at university, and her face lit up with a delighted smile.
When she smiles, the dimples on her cheeks appear and disappear.
Bai Li was deeply impressed by Guan Cha.
The latte art skills are quite good; they can create all sorts of exquisite patterns on the milk foam of coffee.
At the same time, she has a sweet tongue and always greets Bai Li warmly and says things that make people happy whenever she sees her.
No wonder he can work as a barista in a niche, upscale coffee shop; his emotional intelligence and skills are top-notch.
But what impressed Bai Li the most was his favorability rating.
On their first meeting, Guan Cha gave herself a 20-point favorability rating.
They barely exchanged a few words that time, and didn't even know each other's names.
Later, Bai Li passed by her house one day and was attracted by the smell of baked bread, so she went in and ate there again.
Thinking that I would come here often in the future, I recharged a membership card at the store.
The second meeting only involved exchanging names and contact information, and after only a few words, I received another 20 points of goodwill from Guan Cha.
In the days that followed, whenever Bai Li had nothing to do, she would go to the shop to buy some bread. Every time she went, as long as Guan Cha was there, she would get several points of goodwill.
The bakery near the entrance has practically become Bai Li's go-to spot to boost her favorability rating.
Later, Guan Cha heard that Bai Li lived in the villa behind the house, and that she would personally come to deliver food whenever there was a special offer for regular customers.
Therefore, Bai Li had a very good impression of him.
This was the first time Bai Li had ever seen Guan Cha dressed in casual clothes.
I always thought Guan Cha looked very young, but seeing him take off his barista uniform and put on his own clothes, he looks even younger.
Wearing a white cotton short-sleeved shirt, paired with light blue jeans and white sneakers, she looked clean and neat.
Bai Li exclaimed in surprise, "You go to school here? I've never heard you mention it before. I also go to school here, but I just started today."
Bai Li's answer surprised Guan Cha.
Guan Cha never expected that this person would be her classmate.
This guy is a big shot who lives in that area and owns a detached villa.
Are there really such big differences between college students?
Moreover, Bai Li was a freshman at university, and she was actually his junior!
This is really...
This is wonderful!
Just what he wanted.
Guan Cha smiled inwardly and immediately changed her words: "Does the junior have any clubs she'd like to join? I can recommend one."
