However, this is also because Lu Mingfei is quite familiar with the voices of all three people.

Liu Miaomiao is now his girlfriend, needless to say; Su Xiaoqiang bickered with him for three years in his past life, and they'll probably bicker for another three years in this life; Chen Wenwen goes without saying, she was Lu Mingfei's earliest crush, and he's already extremely familiar with her voice.

Perhaps because the weather turned cooler after the National Day holiday, Chen Wenwen no longer wore her summer school uniform, but instead wore the white cotton dress that Lu Mingfei remembered so well, with a pair of knee-high socks underneath.

Shilan Secondary School does not have a strict requirement for wearing school uniforms, and with the arrival of autumn, fewer and fewer students wear them. Therefore, Chen Wenwen's outfit did not stand out among the students.

However, due to her own artistic and elegant temperament, coupled with her sweet and well-behaved appearance, she still attracts a lot of attention in the crowd.

Although the National Day holiday is over, the restless atmosphere on campus has not diminished at all.

Lu Mingfei knew the reason. After all, October 30th was the school anniversary, and not only were the school clubs entering their busiest time, but each class also had to start preparing for the anniversary celebration.

During this period, Chen Wenwen was undoubtedly the busiest person in the class. As the art and literature committee member and the president of the literary society, she not only had to represent the class in liaising with the student council, but also had to publish a journal related to the school anniversary.

Sitting behind Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei could see her writing and drawing in that notebook every day. After discussing class matters with him, she would rush to the literary society.

"By the way, class monitor, I've already prepared the budget sheet for the class activities. I'll show it to you when we get to the classroom later," Chen Wenwen asked.

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

"If there are no problems, I will take it to the senior students in the student union's organization department for review during the lunch break."

"How about I deliver it to you?"

"Huh?" Chen Wenwen was taken aback. "Isn't this too much trouble for you?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Lu Mingfei said frankly. "Anyway, I had to go to the student council, so I just took it for you. Besides, haven't you been pretty busy lately?"

Chen Wenwen lowered her head.

For some reason, she felt like she had been receiving a lot of care from Lu Mingfei lately. Although they sat at desks one in front of the other, Lu Mingfei wasn't actually the boy she was closest to in the class, and they hadn't even spoken much to each other at the beginning of the semester.

Although she and Lu Mingfei actually knew each other before the start of the school year.

Right after she finished the high school entrance exam, she visited Shilan Middle School and on her way home, she passed by a coffee shop and stopped to buy a dessert. There she ran into Lu Mingfei, who generously gave her the only Swiss roll. However, she didn't want to accept other people's kindness so easily and didn't buy the Swiss roll.

Then, before the start of the semester, when I went to the computer mall to buy a computer, I ran into Lu Mingfei again.

Then, during the National Day holiday, I helped myself make a program schedule.

Although the two didn't interact much, in class, Lu Mingfei's eyes seemed to be only on Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang, not even glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.

But every time, he would coincidentally appear just when I needed help, and then leave immediately after helping me, as if he truly had no ulterior motives and was simply there to help me. Unlike other boys, he didn't seem to have any other thoughts in mind.

Chen Wenwen hesitated, unsure whether she should accept Lu Mingfei's offer.

She felt embarrassed about being helped by people for no reason. But as Lu Mingfei said, she was really busy right now.

With the school anniversary celebration approaching, she was already quite busy with class and literary society matters alone. She had also recently taken on the task of helping a senior student in the organization department create a program schedule, and she also had a novel to update weekly.

Seeing that Chen Wenwen kept her head down and didn't speak, Lu Mingfei noticed her hesitation and said directly:

"If Chen Wenwen doesn't say anything, then I'll take that as a yes."

"Eh?"

Chen Wenwen had already prepared her words of refusal in her mind, but she didn't expect Lu Mingfei to make the decision for her directly. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should thank Lu Mingfei for his kindness or refuse. Before she knew it, the two of them had arrived at the classroom.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Liu Miaomiao immediately went to find Lu Mingfei.

Chen Wenwen observed that after the National Day holiday, the cold war between Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei seemed to have ended, and their interactions were actually more frequent and intimate than before. Su Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally trying to fade out of the trio's group. The relationship between the three seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Although the change wasn't very obvious, and all three of them seemed to want to hide it, Chen Wenwen still noticed it.

Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei chatted and laughed, their fingers touching each other intentionally or unintentionally during their conversation.

Su Xiaoqiang has not arrived yet.

……

After lunch, Lu Mingfei took the budget sheet to the Student Union's Organization Department.

As an international private high school, Sze Lan Secondary School's anniversary celebrations are very open and in line with international standards. In addition to the traditional gala, students can also hold their own anniversary activities during the day, organized by their respective classes or clubs.

Class activities for the school anniversary celebration are usually selected by the students in the class through a vote. After a detailed budget is prepared, it is submitted to the student council for review. Once the student council approves the budget, the class funds are allocated.

The class activity chosen by Lu Mingfei's class through a vote was to set up a small shop to sell DIY cookies, a very common and safe activity. Plus, it had the added appeal of having three of the school's most beautiful girls.

Although they didn't make every single cookie, they could still pretend to make something else entirely!

Meanwhile, the class next door, under the encouragement of Lin Huihui, the half-step school beauty, held an incredibly powerful vote to select the maid café event.

When Lu Mingfei heard that the activity chosen by the class next door was a maid café, and he remembered how Liu Miaomiao and the others dressed up as maids and called him "master," he felt a little restless.

However, the thought that if his class also had a maid café, his girlfriend Liu Miaomiao would have to call other customers "master" immediately made Lu Mingfei give up the idea.

Lu Mingfei knocked loudly on the student council's door.

Upon hearing the familiar voice say "Please come in," Lu Mingfei pushed open the door and entered.

Chu Zihang looked up from a pile of documents and was startled when he saw that the visitor was Lu Mingfei.

"How did you come?"

"I'm here to submit our class's budget." Lu Mingfei waved the documents in his hand.

Chu Zihang nodded in sudden realization, pointing to a small mountain of documents beside him:

"Just put it there, I'll register it for your class—let me confirm first, is it Grade 1 (2) class?"

“Yes.” Lu Mingfei said, putting the budget sheet into the pile of documents that Chu Zihang had mentioned.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that Lu Mingfei did not leave immediately after submitting the budget, but stood aside watching him, Chu Zihang asked.

Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head: "Hehe, there are some things I want to discuss with my senior brother."

……

In the past, Lu Mingfei always avoided girls and was timid and hesitant. He had a crush on Chen Wenwen for so many years but never took the initiative once.

Later, Hachiman Hikigaya analyzed the situation for him, saying that if a girl would spend time alone with him, actively invite him to join her club, and agree to go home with him for three consecutive years, it meant he had a chance. Moreover, she would even sit side-by-side with him and soak his feet alone by the river.

What are feet? Feet are a third sexual characteristic! Freud believed that feet are intimately connected to sex, carrying erotic connotations. In the Book of Isaiah, Book 23 of the Bible, the feet are compared to the genitals! And in various erotic novels, touching feet is always the first step in sexual intercourse!

If a girl is willing to take off her shoes and soak her feet with you, showing you her feet with a mix of openness and shyness, that says a lot. But you foolishly believe she's just simply soaking her feet with you.

The whiter Hachiman Hikigaya's dead fish eyes rolled, the lower Lu Mingfei's head shrank.

It wasn't just because he had long recalled Chen Wenwen's snow-white feet and reddish soles bobbing in the water. More than that, he suddenly remembered that not only Chen Wenwen had soaked her feet with him, but Nuonuo had also done so.

So, he missed far more opportunities than he imagined. It's just that he was too cowardly. To use a phrase from the Chinese moral education textbook Lu Mingfei had studied, it was called a lack of initiative… Many things began to churn in Lu Mingfei's mind.

So he decided he would never be a coward again! Now that he was already dating Liu Miaomiao, he couldn't hesitate and just let things slide.

He wanted to give Liu Miaomiao a gift.

……

Although the expressionless senior brother looks expressionless, he is actually a very easy-going person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside... and even has a strong gossipy nature.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's request, Chu Zihang lowered his head and pondered for a moment. The first thing he said when he looked up was, "Are you already with Liu Miaomiao? So, how do you plan to win her over and get her to accept Chen Wenwen?"

"Holy crap, senior brother, how come you still remember this?"

Besides, I don't have any contact with Chen Wenwen at all right now! Senior, your version is too outdated!

"Just kidding, don't mind me." Chu Zihang actually smiled, which was rare for him. "Of course, I have no problem with that, but if you really intend to do it this way, then we'll need to redo the program schedule. Time is tight, do you have enough time?"

“There’s still time, there’s still time,” Lu Mingfei said.

As long as the expressionless senior brother agrees, things will be much easier. Since I've already done it for Chen Wenwen once, redoing it will significantly reduce the difficulty.

But as expected, just as Lu Mingfei was walking out of the student council, he bumped into someone.

Before Lu Mingfei could even see who he had bumped into, he heard a delicate, startled cry of "Ah!" followed by papers and books flying everywhere and falling to the ground.

Lu Mingfei quickly squatted down to pick it up, asking the other person as he did so:

Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?

Then Lu Mingfei was stunned, because he had bumped into Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen rubbed her leg and said she was fine, but when she looked up and saw that it was Lu Mingfei who had bumped into her, she was clearly stunned.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered Yang Zirong's lines from the model opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy," which he had seen: "Whatever you wish for comes true. If you want milk, your mother comes! If you miss your family, your child's uncle comes!"

I thought about soaking my feet with Chen Wenwen, and then Chen Wenwen came.

"Class monitor, you..." Chen Wenwen glanced at the student council sign on the door, "Did you just come back from submitting the budget form to the student council?"

"Yes."

Lu Mingfei was tidying up the papers and books scattered on the floor for Chen Wenwen, his eyes unconsciously sweeping over Chen Wenwen's delicate ankles. Damn it! The weather wasn't cooperating; it was getting chilly, and Chen Wenwen was wearing white sneakers instead of sandals.

Chen Wenwen also got up from the ground and squatted down to pick up the items.

"Did you just come back from the library?"

After picking up most of the books, Lu Mingfei placed the books and papers he was holding onto the pile of books in Chen Wenwen's hands. When he placed the books on top, Chen Wenwen's arm visibly felt a strain.

"Yes," Chen Wenwen nodded, without mentioning that she was editing the journal.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Mingfei blurted out, "Hasn't your literary society's journal been edited yet?"

Chen Wenwen was startled for a moment.

"Squad Leader Lu, how did you know I was editing the journal..."

"Have you forgotten that I went to Shilan Middle School for junior high?" Lu Mingfei quickly tried to cover up, "Isn't the literary society's anniversary celebration about publishing a journal?"

Actually, that's a stretch! It's true that Lu Mingfei studied at Shilan Middle School during junior high, but he never paid attention to what each club was doing for the school anniversary celebration.

The reason he knew Chen Wenwen would be busy with the literary society's journal during this time was because in his previous life, he had helped Chen Wenwen edit the journal every year during the school's anniversary celebrations.

Despite the large number of members in the literary club, most of them are actually there for Chen Wenwen. Their daily club activities consist of pretending to read a book while everyone tacitly looks at Chen Wenwen's profile.

This group of people can copy a few famous quotes from the internet and pretend to be cultured young people reciting them in front of Chen Wenwen, but when it comes to actually doing something, they are completely clueless.

Chen Wenwen clearly had no intention of directing them, so the task of editing the literary society's annual journal fell to her. Lu Mingfei was the only one who edited the journal with her.

Chen Wenwen was responsible for organizing and formatting, while Lu Mingfei was busy running around the library finding the books and materials she needed. Sometimes the two of them would sit side by side, Chen Wenwen's arm brushing against his, and his heart would flutter...

He remembered that the two of them spent a week in the library to organize all the materials. It sounded like a long and tedious process, but at the time he wished that this journal could be like Borges's "The Book of Sand," with no last page, so that he and Chen Wenwen could edit it for a lifetime.

"So that's it."
