When Luo Ye saw Senior Su Baizhou heading to the Hanfu Club, he could no longer sit still. Without realizing it, his feet carried him toward the club's entrance.
The senior girls from the Literature and Magazine Clubs watched this, their faces filled with disappointment.
There was nothing they could do. In front of Su Baizhou's charm, all their efforts seemed futile. They simply couldn't compete.
The Hanfu Club is so cunning—having Su Baizhou as their president is a huge advantage!
But the next moment, a beautiful girl walked past them.
It was none other than the freshman campus beauty, Tang Enqi.
The two senior girls' eyes lit up, but before they could do anything, several tall and burly boys rushed over.
"Hello, I'm Ma Baoguo, president of the Martial Arts Association. I noticed your amazing physique—could you be a martial arts prodigy? Would you be interested in joining my club?"
"Get lost. What's so great about your Martial Arts Association? Hi, I'm Wang Chaoyang, also known as 'Morning Sun, Winter Swimming Crazy Pigeon.' Join our swimming club and let's have fun in the water!"
"Disgusting, totally disgusting. I, Qiao Dan, won't accept this. My basketball club needs a manager…"
"Just you? I'm 'Mei Xi.' My soccer club is looking for a 'football baby.' If you join, the entire club will spoil you rotten."
The competition for Tang Enqi was fierce. The boys' enthusiasm was as intense as the girls', and in their eyes, she was an absolute prize.
Alongside her, the long-legged "loli" Liu Bingxin also attracted attention. Though not as pretty as Tang Enqi, she was still being fought over by many.
At that moment, a little girl, no taller than 1.5 meters, passed by and stared in astonishment at the scene unfolding.
She looked left and right, and finally spotted a familiar figure.
She rushed over and tapped Luo Ye on the back, placing her hands on her hips like a little adult. "Luo Ye, you've been ignoring my messages!"
Luo Ye turned around and saw who it was. A headache immediately appeared on his face.
It was Xu Xiaojia, his hometown friend, and a chatterbox.
"How come you're here?" Luo Ye feigned surprise.
"I'm a freshman too! Why can't I be here?" Xu Xiaojia replied indignantly.
Then she looked around and asked, "Where's the class president?"
"You mean Coach? He went to the Fitness Enthusiasts Club," Luo Ye answered.
"Wow, I'm going there too!"
With that, Xu Xiaojia ran off toward the fitness club.
She seemed quite interested in Li Haoyang.
But the coach had already been captivated by the long-legged loli, so Xu Xiaojia likely didn't have much of a chance.
Though Xu Xiaojia was cute, she wasn't the type boys typically liked, considering her small size and childish appearance—both in height and maturity.
Luo Ye, however, couldn't tear his attention away from the Hanfu Club.
At that moment, Su Baizhou was in the nearby restroom changing into a Hanfu.
When she emerged, dressed in a flowing red outfit, she looked like a celestial being descending to the mortal world—extremely alluring yet distant, like a figure stepping out of a painting.
Luo Ye quietly stood off to the side, mesmerized by the sight.
The Hanfu Club's performance began.
Su Baizhou took center stage, surrounded by four senior girls. Together, they performed an ancient-style dance—elegant, graceful, and slightly solemn.
However, without Su Baizhou at the forefront, the audience was rather sparse. Not everyone could appreciate the beauty of Hanfu and the deeper meaning of classical dance.
Once the performance ended, Su Baizhou prepared to leave. The vice president of the Hanfu Club would handle the recruitment activities; she had other things to attend to.
Just then, Qin Yuwen arrived and made her way toward Su Baizhou.
Luo Ye waved his hand and called out, "Senior Qin!"
Qin Yuwen was a little confused. "Huh? Are you calling me?"
She looked at Luo Ye and then paused. After a moment, she exclaimed, "Wait a minute! Aren't you the freshman who sang during military training and got posted on the confession wall?"
Before she could finish, Su Baizhou suddenly grabbed her hand and hurriedly started pulling her away.
Qin Yuwen was still caught off guard, asking as they walked, "What's going on? Is it the end of the world?"
"Yes, the end of the world. We need to run," Su Baizhou joked, although she rarely made such jokes. In the heat of the moment, she found herself playing along with Qin Yuwen's words.
Luo Ye scratched his head, feeling completely confused.
What just happened? Why did Senior Su and Senior Qin leave so quickly?
But once they were gone, Luo Ye felt a bit more at ease and less constrained. He walked into the Hanfu Club's recruitment booth and asked, "Senior, can I join the Hanfu Club?"
The vice president of the club, a guy who seemed very approachable, looked up at him and smiled.
"Ah, a handsome young man! Of course, you can join!"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Luo Ye froze.
Something wasn't right. Very wrong.
The guy's voice was high-pitched, and his demeanor made Luo Ye take a step back.
Was this guy… a bit effeminate?
But then Luo Ye remembered that Senior Su Baizhou was in this club, so he pushed himself forward, forcing a smile and said, "I'll sign up."
The vice president raised an eyebrow, still smiling, but said with a teasing tone, "Junior, I'll give you a little advice. If you're joining because of Baizhou, then you don't need to bother—she's in her third year and will be leaving the club soon."
Whether in the student council or the clubs, Su Baizhou was at the stage of transitioning out. After the recruitment ends, the club leaders and student council officers would be replaced by second-year students.
"No, I just really like Hanfu," Luo Ye said, trying to sound sincere.
"Is that so?"
The vice president gave him a knowing smile, then flicked his fingers with a graceful motion, writing Luo Ye's name on the registration form. "Join the group, and we'll notify you about the first meeting."
"Got it."
Luo Ye had officially joined the Hanfu Club and ended his journey for the day.
Meanwhile, Tang Enqi and Liu Bingxin finally managed to escape the crowd of boys surrounding them. They made their way to the Hanfu Club.
"Wow, this is so beautiful," Tang Enqi exclaimed.
"Yeah, it really is. Enqi, how about we join the Hanfu Club?" Liu Bingxin asked, also intrigued.
"Hanfu Club sounds good."
The two girls approached the Hanfu Club's booth.
The vice president, still holding his tea cup in a dainty fashion, frowned when he saw the two beauties approaching. He said coldly, "Girls, are you interested in joining the Hanfu Club?"
"Yes," Tang Enqi nodded.
"We're full," he replied flatly. "Try again next year."
Liu Bingxin, puzzled, asked, "But can't second-year students join the club?"
"No, they can't."
"Then aren't you just making things difficult for us?" Liu Bingxin frowned, frustrated.
"I'm really sorry, Senior. Our club has Su Baizhou, so the number of applicants has exceeded our limit."
Rejected like this, Liu Bingxin was left with no choice but to leave with Tang Enqi, heading off to consider other clubs.
After they left, a girl approached the vice president of the Hanfu Club. "Liu Jianglai, we really are full, but how did that guy Luo Ye get special permission to join?"
Liu Jianglai, the vice president, put on an elegant smile as he recalled how Su Baizhou had hurriedly left earlier. He said, "I think… Su Baizhou has special feelings for him."
