We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"What?! Six boys, and they've signed up for every single sport?"

"Yes."

Back in the dormitory, Li Mubai told the boys about this "good news".

"Excuse me, how many projects are there in total?" Feng Wanli asked.

There are probably seven or eight.

"Good heavens, even if we each sign up for one, it's not enough," Yang Kun said.

"Those who are good at sports can sign up for two, and there's also the basketball tournament, where they can team up with other classes that have fewer boys."

"Brother Yong, hurry up!" Zhao Feng said.

"Haha, let's see what's available first, and I'll try my best to sign up. I'll ask other classes about the basketball games."

Seeing that they were all discussing it, Li Mubai also began to think about which event he should sign up for, preferably one where he could take his time and not be too embarrassed.

"What are you planning to apply for?" Chen Qiuhe asked during the afternoon information technology class.

"You haven't decided yet, but you're very excited?"

"Hehe, I'm going to sign up for the women's basketball team. Just wait and see how I dominate the competition."

"You play basketball?" Li Mubai was a little surprised.

"I've always wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but I'm not pretending anymore. I'm coming clean: I'm a top female basketball player."

"Oh, then good luck!"

……

"I'm sure everyone knows about the sports meet next week, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just say three things," Wu Changguo said during the class meeting.

"The first thing is to discuss and decide on three candidate programs later, and then vote on the one with the most votes. The program with the most votes will be our class's performance."

As soon as Wu Changguo finished speaking, whispers immediately broke out in the classroom.

"The second thing!" Wu Changguo's voice rose a few decibels. "All sports programs must be fully booked, including boys' programs. This is a school regulation."

"oops!"

Even though he already knew, the boy still exclaimed in surprise.

"Teacher, what's the third thing?" Zhao Feng asked.

Wu Changguo smiled and said, "Thirdly, I've finished grading yesterday's papers. Some students are in a bit of a predicament, which worries me. So, after the midterm exams, the class will rearrange seating based on the scores, so everyone needs to hurry!"

The students, who were just excited, were suddenly dampened.

Li Mubai didn't care; it didn't matter where he sat.

"Hey! Don't go, my deskmate!" Chen Qiuhe wrote on the paper.

…He was at a loss for words. His female classmate told him not to leave, even though it might be a joke, but what should he say?

"Alright, let's discuss three programs now."

Compared to the midterm exams in November, the sports meet next week is definitely more anticipated.

"Li Mu Bai, what are your thoughts?" Chen Qiuhe turned around and asked.

"No...no, my idea is to create a show that doesn't require me to perform."

"I'll let you go up then."

"Heh, then I'll elbow the ground."

It's a deal.

Chen Qiuhe turned around and joined Zhang Chun and the others in the back row in their discussion.

"Time's up. Anyone with an idea, come up to the blackboard and write it down. That's three per person."

Deng Yi, quick as a flash, rushed up and wrote "Wandering in the Painting" (a Hanfu dance) on the blackboard; a girl behind her wrote "Elegant People's Dance"; and finally, Yang Kun wrote "ikun Dance".

"Alright, the three of you, please stand up and share your thoughts."

"When the 'Journey Through the Painting' event is held, everyone will be able to wear Hanfu. We will borrow Hanfu from Hanfu societies, so you won't need to buy them directly," Deng Yi said.

Wow!

Many liberal arts girls dream of wearing Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), but good Hanfu is not cheap.

"Elegant dances are quite popular now, and I think they can showcase the new image of our students."

"The ikun dance needs no further explanation; at its peak, it generates false supporters, while at its twilight, it witnesses devout believers."

"Students, please vote. Raise your hand if you like Kunwu."

Only a handful of people raised their hands; only Yang Kun and Zhao Feng did.

It's so frustrating! Have we ikun become relics of the past?

"What about those who choose refined individuals?"

This time there were slightly more people, about half the usual number.

"Lastly, how many people wear Hanfu for dance?"

Many hands were raised in the class, all of them hands belonging to girls.

"Okay, then our class's performance will be a Hanfu dance. Deng Yi, you and the arts and culture representative should discuss how to do it and get it done as soon as possible."

"Okay, teacher, I promise to complete the task."

"Why aren't you voting for any of them?" Chen Qiuhe nudged Li Mubai and asked.

"I feel... it's better to wave a red flag and sing 'My Motherland and I'."

……

"Ugh, I'm so tired!"

In the girls' dormitory at night, Deng Yi leaned back in her chair and sighed.

"What's up, Xiao Dengzi? How did things go with the literature and art committee member?" Chen Qiuhe asked.

"Fortunately, I've already discussed it with the president of the Hanfu club."

"Oh, their connections are incredibly powerful."

"The current president is my former roommate, so I made an appointment with her first."

"Great! The girls in the class are all living up to their Hanfu dreams thanks to you, Dengzi!" Liu Ting was quite excited; she also loved Hanfu.

"That's easy. The problem is that the class's arts and culture representative wants at least two boys in the class to participate, but I'm not very familiar with any of the boys."

"That's easy, just have Wang Rui participate," Liu Ting said without hesitation.

"You just want to see the young star wearing Hanfu, don't you?" Ye Manqi exposed Liu Ting's true thoughts.

"hey-hey."

"Then who will go and talk to Wang Rui?" Deng Yi asked.

"I'll do it." Liu Ting took out her phone and took the opportunity to add Wang Rui as a friend.

"How is it?"

"They haven't agreed yet, maybe they didn't bring their phones?"

"Let's discuss the last candidate first. Which other guy would be suitable? Shu, do you have any thoughts?"

"no."

Chen Qiuhe's eyes darted around, and she stroked her chin with her fingers. If Li Mubai were to dance in Hanfu, it would surely be very interesting.

"I have someone in mind, how about Li Mubai?" Chen Qiuhe said.

"Hmm—it's possible, but I don't think he'll agree."

"Yeah, the vice class monitor is an introvert, he definitely won't agree," Ye Manqi agreed.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it."

"Can you really get Li Mubai to agree, Qiuhe?"

Deng Yi actually thought it would be better to let Li Mubai participate. He was good-looking, and she felt that he was a good man for Hanfu at first glance.

"Will we win? We will win," Chen Qiuhe said confidently.

"Qiuhe, do you have a solution?"

"not yet."

"Uh, actually I think you should..." Ye Manqi and Deng Yi were giving Chen Qiuhe advice.

Will he participate? Probably not. He gets so nervous even when giving a speech under the national flag. But if he does participate, he'll probably be more confident.

At this moment, Li Mubai was unaware that a plan targeting him was brewing in the girls' dormitory; he was lying in bed reading a book.

He read "Loneliness is a Gift of Life" rather slowly, but there was no other way; he only had time to read it at noon and in the evening each day, and it would be easy for the teacher to find and confiscate it if he took it to the classroom.

Students at Pingyang No. 6 Middle School are not allowed to read unrelated extracurricular books; they can only read them secretly.

"Buzz!"

Yan Shu: "Good night."

Li Mubai replied with a moon emoji.

The moon is lonely, hanging high in the night sky, radiating boundless light, inspiring awe in the world. But in a corner of the darkness, unnoticed stars shine with their own light.
