Chapter 12: The Iceberg Beauty

  Jing Ningning's anger caused Chi Yanqiu to turn his head, with a frosty face, looking at the back of Leng Yiyang who was painting by himself, feeling a sense of depression in his heart. He just couldn't understand why he couldn't recruit even one decent person into the club? If no one else joined in the end, wouldn't his dreams be shattered?

  Actually, Chen Yanqiu had a reason for wanting to establish an animation club so badly. It was his childhood dream. He originally thought that during his junior high school days, there would be an animation club for him to join. However, the junior high school he entered happened to not have any clubs, and every student could be said to be "studying hard to death". To say this is also a bit exaggerated, D City, as a prosperous city with a strong economy, requires constant progress, and students' learning naturally also requires progress. Just like what the class teacher said before the high school entrance exam, in this era of survival of the fittest, if you don't work hard, you can only be left behind!

  In order to study, Cen Yanqiu naturally couldn't develop his own strengths, such as his fondness for filling in words and being good at it, he could completely fill in words and sing on a late-night show, but he never had the opportunity to show off.

  From a young age, he has always liked anime and manga. The moving pictures in front of his eyes are a kind of beauty. So his dream is to establish an anime club in high school, gather all the classmates who like anime, play COS together, compose music and write lyrics together, perform on stage together, and compose youth together. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it must be true and sincere.

  Cheng Xia High School has many clubs, most of which are required by the school, such as: Literature Club, Math Olympiad Club, English Club, Handicraft Club, Music Club, Painting Club... Of course, Cen Yanqiu is very interested in the Painting Club, but he doesn't have any talent for painting. However, the Animation Club needs to have skilled painters, only then can a club be established.

  "Ball, you've been staring at Leng Zhi's back for a full five minutes!"

  Yang Chengyu's voice came over inopportunely, forcibly pulling Ceng Yanqiu back to reality.

  Cen Yanqiu looked away, gazing at his sworn brother with a faint expression, but didn't say anything.

  Yang Chengyu smiled smugly, "Actually, I know what you're thinking. You just want to seduce him into joining the animation club!"

  "What is seduction?" Xun Yanqiu always couldn't understand why the party's language could be so poor, to the point where every word was misused!

  Yang Chengyu still had a look of being carefree and not caring about anything, and also glanced at Leng Yiyang's back, saying: "Actually, Leng Zhan really likes anime, it's just that he has always been more inclined to be alone, painting is his childhood dream, but his family didn't support him much, so he has always been secretly drawing."

  "How did you know him so well? Have you changed sex?" Xun Yanqiu was very happy to hear these words, but also didn't forget to mock his best friend.

  Yang Chengyu's face suddenly collapsed, and Junyi's handsome face instantly turned into a "囧" character. "Ball, brother, I'm being kind to you, you're not grateful, but you also suspect my orientation!"

  Actually, Cen Yanqiu was moved in his heart. He estimated that only this dead party could treat him like this over the years. From kindergarten onwards, the two had been together all along. Yang Chengyu usually likes to pretend to be cool and show off, using his own words, he is a romantic and flirtatious playboy! Cen Yanqiu may have been suppressed by his family, always low-key, although there was some rebelliousness in his bones, but he had always been very hardworking and serious. This wasn't him pretending to be obedient, he just had his own thoughts and wanted to become a true self.

  "I don't even know where to start, in order to get him to join the anime club." Cen Yanqiu's face was serious, "Have you heard anything about whether he has a girlfriend or someone he secretly likes? We can try to get to him through his woman!"

  "Hmph......" Upon hearing Qin Lie's words, Yang Chengyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You think everyone is like me?"

  "Otherwise, there's no way to get him to join!" Cen Yanqiu let out a cold sigh, recalling the first time he spoke with Leng Yiyang, his heart had truly felt stifled. They were classmates, so why was Leng Yiyang always so cold?

  At this time, Luo Xuanjie and Fan Qianxu walked into the classroom, saw Cen Yanqiu, and they came over to him. "Hey, Ball, my sister said that after school, let you go to the store for a while, I heard it's to see some fashion design drawings." Luo Xuanjie's voice was somewhat low.

  Cen Yanqiu listened and smiled lightly, "Alright!", then looked at Yang Chengyu beside him and said: "Hey, let's go to sister's place after school!"

  "I've been expecting this for a long time! Yesterday, Sheng Xue didn't come, and I couldn't see her. Today, I must be able to see her, I've been looking forward to it for a long time! Especially the clothes she designed for us!" Yang Chengyu couldn't help but show off his fanboy face.

  "Hmm..." Fan Qianxu looked at Yang Chengyu's infatuated expression and couldn't help but reveal a disdainful gaze, pausing for a moment. "By the way, all clubs are recruiting new members this Friday. Your anime club doesn't have enough people, at least ten! The school won't approve if you don't meet that number!"

  Upon hearing this, Cen Yanqiu's face was filled with worry and helplessness. He knew about the situation all along. It all depends on whether they can gather some people by Friday.

  Fan Qianxu looked at Luo Xuanjie and then turned to Cen Yanqiu, saying: "What do you think of the two of us?"

  "Really?" Cen Yanqiu was surprised. Now, as long as someone joined, it was a particularly happy thing. "Great! I couldn't ask for more!"

  Luo Xuanjie smiled faintly, "Just now on the way to school, we two mentioned this matter. Anyway, in high school, we have to choose a club to join. Although I'm very interested in the basketball club, I still want to support you!"

  "Great!" Xun Yanqiu was more excited than anyone else at this time. He quickly got up, with a look of excitement on his face.

  Fan Qianxu also smiled faintly and said: "I want to have the girl I like in the animation club perform a stage play for me."

  "Good! Let's work together!" Qin Yanqiu couldn't help but cheer.

  Yang Chengyu suddenly raised his hand to gently touch his nose, every time he made this gesture, it meant he was thinking about something, "Right, we should find a girl, when the new recruits arrive, if a girl stands there, many people will definitely come to sign up."

  "That makes sense!" Luo Xuanjie expressed his agreement.

  Cen Yanqiu listened and found it somewhat difficult, where can he find a like-minded girl now?

  Yang Chengyu's eyes fell on the girl behind Cen Yanqiu, and Cen Yanqiu was taken aback, turning his head to look at Ji Ningning.

  "Don't look at me, I won't join the childish club of playing house!" Ji Ningning didn't need to raise her head to know that the scorching gaze in front of her was staring straight at her.

  Cen Yanqiu's mouth curled up at the corners as he strode forward in big steps, heading straight for the girl standing behind Ji Ningning.

  "Class monitor..." Xun Yanqiu had a sunny smile on his face as he gazed gently at the girl who was currently looking down to read her book.

  "What?" The girl slowly raised her head and coldly looked at Cen Yanqiu, her beautiful face as stunning as ever.

  This stunning beauty, the iceberg goddess, is none other than Bai Lianya, the study committee member of Class A in Grade One! Yes, Bai Lianya is extremely beautiful, and when she walks around campus, people can't help but take a second glance. However, she's very low-key and never shows off, burying her head every day in various high-difficulty practice books, oblivious to the world. If it weren't for her exceptional looks, probably only a few people in the entire class would know that someone like her exists.

  Cen Yanqiu looked at the girl who was now staring coldly at him, and his back suddenly felt a bit chilly. However, he gritted his teeth and said: "We're setting up an anime club, and I sincerely invite you to join!"

  "Hmm." Bai Lian raised her cold and elegant eyes slightly, hummed a word softly, then lowered her head to read again.

  Cen Yanqiu's face was shrouded in mist, unclear about what was going on. He steeled himself and let out a dry laugh, "You... agreed?"

  "Agreed," said Bai Qiuya without lifting her head, "but there's a condition, you have to pretend to be my boyfriend!"
