"Who said we’re siblings, don’t just go around claiming relatives." Mu Binglan glanced at Ning Wenbin, giving him no face at all.
Faced with such a direct rebuff, most people would surely get upset, but Ning Wenbin remained unfazed and kept smiling: "Classmate Mu Binglan, even though we haven’t t often - the first eting is unfamiliar, the second eting gets familiar, by the third or fourth eting we’ll get along well. This is our second eting, see a few more tis and we’ll be friends, right, Brother Lin Tian?"
Lin Tian raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling an urge to punch him, yet feeling helpless as well. This guy was as clingy as gum that won’t co off.
"Since you’re here, let’s go in together. Ning Wenbin is a sophomore, he’s familiar with the various clubs and can be our guide." He Xiaofei interjected.
With the class leader speaking, the others naturally had no objections. Ning Wenbin laughed joyfully: "Haha, Class Leader He is truly wise and heroic, from now on we’re friends."
Ning Wenbin’s way of making friends was truly unique, quick and straightforward. However, Lin Tian liked this frankness, soone like Ning Wenbin would have been a hero in ancient tis, making friends with outlaws.
The group of five gained a new mber, so six of them walked through the gates of the playground, facing several large banners and slogans.
"No clubs, no university life."
"University is the big family, clubs are the small family, welco ho."
"Gather in youth, let dreams fly."
"The sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly, clubs are your new sky, your platform to let dreams soar."
...
Around the shaded areas of the playground, clubs had already secured advantageous spots, while those without shade had set up sun shelters. In front of each recruitnt booth, club mbers were energetically handing out flyers and introducing the clubs to the freshn.
"Co, let introduce you to so quirky associations. See that club mber holding a frying pan? That’s the Foodie Association. As long as you love eating and can be creative with it, you can join the Foodie Association. Their the is eating. You know the dark culinary window in the central canteen? That’s their creative kitchen."
"Tomatoes with mooncakes, oranges with apples, bananas with green vegetables... They release a dark dish every week from the dark culinary window, with recipes you’ve never heard of or seen. But don’t think no one visits; those dark dishes are imnsely popular."
"Students look forward to knowing what new dish the Foodie Association will release this week every ti they visit the canteen. Just look at the crowd in front of their booth; it shows how popular the Foodie Club is."
Ning Wenbin led Lin Tian and his group to a booth, pointing at their emblem, a frying pan, excitedly introducing it. Clearly, this guy had the potential of a foodie too.
However, what he introduced left everyone wide-eyed. There truly was such a quirky association at the school, full of endless creativity.
"Fellow students, co quickly, tomato scrambled eggs, hot off the pan, free tasting, limited quantity, first co first served." A shout ca from the Foodie Association’s booth. The practiced tone made Lin Tian feel like he was at a food street.
"Ning Wenbin, nothing special here, does the Foodie Association really take out tomato scrambled eggs?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"Uh, I don’t know either. Maybe they’re being low-key today." Ning Wenbin blinked, also puzzled.
"Lin Tian, let’s go have a look. It seems fun," Xiao Manxuan said happily, full of expectation, another foodie in the making. The other two girls seed equally excited.
Lin Tian gave a helpless smile and had to accompany the beauties to the Foodie Association’s booth. But they clearly underestimated the popularity of the Foodie Association; three long queues had already ford in front of the booth, surrounded by more onlookers.
One had to admit, this association was very creative. Regardless of how the recruitnt effect was, just a tomato scrambled egg had already earned massive popularity.
"Classmate, could you please make way?" He Xiaofei tapped a male student on the outside, asking politely.
"Make way for what..." The boy was probably engrossed, startled by an interruption, feeling annoyed, and turned around speaking with displeasure. But when he saw He Xiaofei’s beautiful face, his expression imdiately turned to a smile, and his tone changed.
Upon seeing Xiao Manxuan beside her, his whole being froze, then his expressions changed rapidly, eyes lighting up, then he shouted, "Mr. Xiao, I see Mr. Xiao, the school beauty goddess..."
As he spoke, he beca sowhat incoherent, more excited than eting a celebrity.
His shout drew a lot of attention, and the surrounding people looked over, followed by waves of exclamations.
"It’s really Mr. Xiao..."
"Wow, even more beautiful than the photos circulating on the forums!"
"Goddess, if there’s a vote for the first school beauty, I’d definitely choose Xiao Manxuan."
...
The boys imdiately got restless, with more and more people watching this way.
"Lin Tian, I see Lin Tian..." a girl shouted out.
"So handso, even more so up close..."
"More handso than those celebrities."
"Does he have a girlfriend..."
Now it was the girls’ turn to get excited, causing quite a scene not losing to the boys. Ning Wenbin was dumbfounded: "You guys... your popularity exceeds mine. Damn, is there no justice? I’m on both popularity rankings!"
He Xiaofei and the others gave him a collective side-eye, his ranking humorously overstated.
"The tenth heartthrob, Ning Wenbin, damn, he’s here too." Soone shouted, drawing even more eyes to Ning Wenbin, though the tone was a bit peculiar, with many using the word "damn."
"Damn, it really is him."
"What’s going on today, are the school celebrities coming out in groups?"
"Exactly, they’re hard to co by usually, especially the top school beauty, who rarely shows her face."
Three "big celebrities" showing up at once; the students were bewildered. Usually, it wasn’t easy to see these "celebrities."
"Welco, fellow students, to our little shop." The person in charge of the Foodie Association ca out, formally inviting Lin Tian and the others, referring to the association as a little shop. This was a golden opportunity to elevate the association’s reputation, sothing he wouldn’t miss.
The students in line moved aside to create a path for Lin Tian and the others, though they didn’t leave but continued to surround them watching. Lin Tian could feel the fiery gazes of the girls, even more fanatic than the guys’.
Xiao Manxuan, unwilling to stand and be gawked at, pulled He Xiaofei and Mu Binglan into the booth. When Lin Tian saw the tomato scrambled eggs on the table, he finally realized, this association wasn’t just about general creativity.
"Damn, this is tomato scrambled eggs, I’ve really seen it all!" Ning Wenbin expressed with bewildernt while deeply impressed.
