CHAPTER 307: CHAPTER 306: REPORT TO THE SPECIALIZED CLASS

Zhen Yu, already in a bad mood because of Qian Duoduo’s incident, faced another round of persuasion from Lu Huai during the evening self-study.

The cause of this was the announcement made by the class monitor after morning self-study ended, stating that the school’s special classes were starting enrollment.

From that moment on, her deskmate, who usually listened quietly during class and napped on the desk after class, seemed suddenly possessed by a chatty spirit, seizing every chance to nag Zhen Yu.

"Zhen Yu, do me a favor and join the Calligraphy Club!"

"Zhen Yu, your handwriting is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to join the Calligraphy Club!"

"Since you don’t have any hobbies anyway, just join the Calligraphy Club!"

"Zhen Yu, just agree! Registration is tomorrow, and the school requires everyone to join at least one!"

"Zhen Yu..."

Bang!

A slap later, the world finally quieted down.

Zhen Yu calmly withdrew her hand, and continued reading her book.

—

Lu Huai only felt a strong force coming from behind, and then... he was left facing the desk, reflecting on his actions.

In the quiet classroom, a loud noise suddenly erupted, and most of the classmates turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

Zhen Yu sat there as if nothing had happened, as if the noise hadn’t been caused by her.

Lu Huai was dazed from the knock, seeing stars and momentarily disoriented.

After collecting himself, he raised his head.

Just as he looked up, he saw that many people were staring at him, those looks...

What are you looking at! Lu Huai glared back, and everyone turned away.

Only then did he rub his forehead and hissed in a low voice, "Why did you hit me? You hit too hard! Hiss..."

Zhen Yu responded coldly, "Shut your mouth! Keep nagging and I’ll hit you again!"

"You!" Lu Huai was fuming to the point of deformation, endlessly muttering in his mind: "Both women and villains are difficult to raise! Zhen Yu this two-in-one oddity is indeed the most difficult of all to manage!"

So, he really kept his mouth shut and didn’t speak to Zhen Yu for the rest of the evening self-study.

—

As evening self-study was about to end, Zhen Yu finally allowed herself to be distracted and think about the registration for special classes happening tomorrow.

It had only been three days since the start of school, and she hadn’t even figured out the last names of all her teachers yet! Let alone what special classes were available, knowing only about the Calligraphy Club because Lu Huai had just mentioned it!

What the hell was she supposed to register for!

She could have asked Lu Huai about it, but he was obviously angry with her now.

Zhen Yu was pondering how to resolve this when school ended...

Gu Qing and Li Yueru turned around simultaneously, inviting Zhen Yu to walk with them.

Maybe she could ask them on the way! Thinking this, Zhen Yu readily agreed.

Indeed, as soon as they left the teaching building, Gu Qing brought up the topic.

"Zhen Yu, which class are you planning to join? Are you just joining one or several?"

"What special classes does the Affiliated School even have?"

Zhen Yu asked, and Li Yueru immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Lu Tianwang didn’t tell you?! I thought you two were quite close!"

"Hehe!" Zhen Yu gave an awkward yet polite smile.

That guy never mentioned it, probably afraid that once other special classes are mentioned, Zhen Yu wouldn’t choose the Calligraphy Club!

Seeing that Zhen Yu didn’t respond, Li Yueru started introducing the special classes.

"Our school really offers quite a variety of special classes! Everything like piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting! Like guitar class, Chess Institute, Calligraphy Club, National Painting Garden and those are pretty common, and there are also athletic ones like the Swimming Association..."

After finishing the introduction, she suddenly changed the topic, "But we’re already in the ninth grade, even if your family is well-off, I still suggest that you sign up for fewer classes! After all, the middle school exams are only a year away, and you can just as well start learning after you get into First High School!"

"Right! I think so too!" Zhen Yu agreed.

Through the past few days of interaction, she felt Li Yueru was a pretty good person, and she always spoke sensibly.

——

"How about it, Zhen Yu, why don’t you join the Jingwu Team?" Gu Qing suddenly proposed.

"Jingwu Group?" Zhen Yu’s first reaction was to think of Jingwu Sect and Bruce Lee, and she couldn’t help but ask, "What is it taught there? Yong Chun?"

"Yong Chun?" Gu Qing repeated, thinking it sounded like a group dance name, "Did you use to learn dance?"

"Dance?" Zhen Yu frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling, "What exactly does this club teach?"

"Dance! Folk dance! Can’t you tell from the name? Jingwu Team!"

Zhen Yu was speechless!

Could there be a bigger case of talking past each other?! How could she possibly associate the word ’Jingwu’ with dance!

"...let’s just forget it!" Zhen Yu politely declined.

"Oh? Why?" Gu Qing was somewhat disappointed but still wanted to struggle on, "I’m in the Jingwu Team with Yueru, so you should join us..."

"No thanks!" Zhen Yu firmly shook her head, "I don’t like dancing at all!"

Whenever ’dancing’ was mentioned, Zhen Yu would immediately think of those large-scale backup dances performed during Spring Festival shows.

She really didn’t want to twist and turn in weird postures and be watched by others...

——

After dismissing one more admirer, Gu Qing pressed on persistently: "So, Zhen Yu, what class do you really want to join? Yueru and I have already decided to only join Jingwu Team."

Zhen Yu had been thinking about it the whole way and now had an idea, so she responded, "The vocal class then."

"So, you like singing!" Li Yueru exclaimed, "Come on! Sing a few lines for me and Gu Qing to hear!"

Zhen Yu felt awkward for a moment, but still explained sincerely, "Not really into it, I just think the vocal class is more convenient!"

"Convenient?" Gu Qing had never heard anyone describe a special class as ’convenient’ before and couldn’t help but ask, "How so?"

"It saves money and trouble! You don’t need to buy anything, just bring your voice!"

Gu Qing and Li Yueru looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha... indeed saves money and trouble!"

"Oh, gosh! I can’t take it anymore... Zhen Yu, you’re too hilarious! Bring your voice! Bring your voice..."

"Is it that funny?" Zhen Yu couldn’t quite grasp why they found it so amusing, after all, she still had one thing she hadn’t said. The vocal class would probably only require moving mouths, right? Maybe she could even read a book while singing...

Li Yueru tried to control her laughter, nodding her head and said, "You know, Zhen Yu! Haha... when you go to the vocal class, you must never let the teacher know your reason! I’m afraid she might not be able to resist hitting you... Hahaha..."

Gu Qing also chimed in, "Right! Zhen Yu, you really mustn’t let the vocal teacher know that’s why you chose the class! Haha..."

Zhen Yu puffed her cheeks, marching ahead, completely uninterested in dealing with those two girls who laughed like fools behind her.
