Chapter 64: You Are a Good Person

"How about... we... go take a look?"

After Jiang Mengyuan said this, Chang Lingling looked at her in great shock: "Yuanyuan, you aren't joking, are you?"

"I'm not joking."

Jiang Mengyuan said in a low voice, because from her angle, she could just see the few people behind the Esports Club table, among whom were two she was quite familiar with—the seniors from the School of Liberal Arts who had been recruiting new members back then; she had a particularly deep impression of the fair-skinned senior.

"Fine then..." Chang Lingling sighed helplessly, then looked at Wang Li and the other girl, "Are you two going?"

Wang Li and Yu Huifang shook their heads desperately, unwilling to go even if it killed them; the first impression Zheng Yang had given them was truly quite poor.

They said if Yuanyuan wanted to go, Lingling, you take her, and we'll head back to the dormitory first.

Chang Lingling didn't mind, waved her hand, and said don't worry, you guys go ahead, I'll look after Yuanyuan.

Among the girls in the dorm, she was probably the only one who truly treated Jiang Mengyuan like her own little sister; as for Wang Li and the other, they were plastic sisters with Jiang Mengyuan, typical of those who share in good times but not in bad.

And Zheng Yang hadn't expected things to take a turn for the better; watching as the few girls were about to run off toward the Anime Club, he hadn't expected to be able to pull them back with his personal charm.

Well, in his heart, he thought it was his personal charm.

So Zheng Yang immediately put on an amiable and lecherous smile: "Junior sisters, come with me, I'll take you to sign up."

At the same time, he shouted toward Xu Heng and the others: "Old Xu, Old Li, Old Zhao, I've brought people over!"

Xu Heng was sitting in front of the table, lying boredly while playing on his phone.

In an era before the iPhone 3 had even come out, the only things to play on a phone were Java games and the built-in Snake; he had already beaten Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, and the other Java games weren't much fun either—RPGs were all the same type, or else they were those kinds of online retro mini-web games, or puzzle games like Panda Sitting on a Ladybug, which were far inferior to the endless mobile games of later generations.

So he was only playing on his phone to chat with others on QQ, and the people he chatted with most were Liu Yiyan and Fan Xi.

Liu Yiyan had a little-girl personality and had recently encountered troublesome matters, so she would complain to him on QQ every day; the two would chat for ten minutes or half an hour at a time, and in the dead of night, she would occasionally send him a few leg-shot selfies.

As for Fan Xi, what she talked about with Xu Heng was basically official class business.

Xu Heng also found it strange; he was just an Arts Committee Member who didn't manage class affairs, so why was the Class Monitor not looking for the Vice Class Monitor, not looking for the Study Committee Member, and not looking for the League Branch Secretary, but coming to look for him?

Fan Xi would reply that he was better at handling these class matters than the other class cadres, and his suggestions were often hit the nail on the head and were remarkably effective, much simpler than the roundabout handling methods of the Vice Class Monitor and the others.

As time went on, whenever Fan Xi had a task assigned by the counselor, she would subconsciously want to discuss it with Xu Heng and have him help devise strategies.

Xu Heng said speechlessly that if that was the case, you might as well let me be the Class Monitor.

Fan Xi didn't care about that either; instead, she would reply, "Sure, in two days I'll go tell the counselor; I also think you're more suited to be Class Monitor than me, I'll just be the Vice Class Monitor and help you out 【smile】."

Xu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Better not, you keep doing it, I don't want to worry myself to death for the collective all day long."

Just as they were chatting, Zheng Yang's shout came over.

He looked up in astonishment; Zhao Gaoyang and Li Xu beside him had the same expression, seemingly not expecting that Zheng Yang could really recruit freshmen.

You have to know, even in the talent-abundant Computer Department, Zheng Yang was a lone standout, an existence like a "ghost-fearing-sorrow."

Another one of his roommates had once evaluated him like this.

"Zheng Yang, if he can find a girlfriend in college, I'll eat Master Kong instant noodles with my nostrils in front of the whole class."

It was this kind of Zheng Yang who hadn't scared those few little girls away?

Seeing Zheng Yang leading two little girls back, Li Xu held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Brother, I can die with regrets now." There was a faint hint of crying in his words.

Zheng Yang patted his shoulder comfortingly and laughed: "Don't be in such a rush to die, the good days are still ahead!"

"If you find me a girlfriend, I'll admit that the days ahead are good."

"Then you'd better just die with regrets~"

"Screw you!"

While they were horsing around, Xu Heng also saw the two girls in front of him; the moment he saw Jiang Mengyuan, he was somewhat stunned.

"Jiang..."

The word "Meng" didn't make it out; he forcibly swallowed it back.

Jiang Mengyuan thought he couldn't remember her name, so she said in a small voice: "It's Jiang Mengyuan, Senior."

"Old Xu, that super pretty junior sister who took off her glasses last time!" Zhao Gaoyang hissed in Xu Heng's ear, repeating it; actually, even if he didn't say it, Xu Heng knew—his memory of Jiang Mengyuan was much deeper than Zhao Gaoyang and the others'.

"Is this junior sister here to find you? I think she seems a bit interested in you," Zhao Gaoyang said again, while secretly admiring him in his heart; Xu Heng's flirting skills had already gained his approval back when they were receiving freshmen that day.

In his mind, the current "Supreme Male God Protagonist's" flirting skills > Xu Heng's flirting skills > Cheng Huaiyu's flirting skills.

This little junior sister had been captured by Xu Heng using the "hard-to-get" method!

Last time, Xu Heng gave her his QQ number but didn't continue to look for her afterward; it was clearly a case of casting a long line to catch a big fish, and now that the fish had taken the bait, Xu Heng was bound to pull in the net.

Zhao Gaoyang imagined a brilliant and magnificent drama; it was a good thing Xu Heng couldn't read minds, otherwise, if he knew his thoughts, he would definitely give a thumbs up and praise, "It's a waste of great talent that you don't go to the female-oriented sites to write romance novels."

Because Xu Heng didn't think nearly as much as Zhao Gaoyang imagined.

He gave Jiang Mengyuan his contact information purely out of the goodwill of an acquaintance he knew in his past life; on the other hand, the Esports Club couldn't be without Jiang Mengyuan, just as the West couldn't be without Jerusalem...

However, Jiang Mengyuan coming to the Esports Club as a freshman was something he hadn't expected.

Could this also be a change brought about by the butterfly effect?

Xu Heng scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

The current Jiang Mengyuan was still quite different from the "King of Guns" he knew in later generations.

Her entire outfit revealed a cute "two-dimensional" style, completely lacking the dashing air she had in her sophomore year; her voice was very small when she spoke, and her expression was timid, exactly the same as when she reported as a freshman.

"Jiang Mengyuan."

Xu Heng took out two forms and looked up at her.

"Why do you want to join our Esports Club?"

"Because I just happened to see you here, Senior," Jiang Mengyuan said in a low voice as she took the forms.

The vastly different personalities of an old acquaintance across two timelines made Xu Heng feel it was quite fun, so he deliberately straightened his face and said seriously.

"Does my being here or not affect your decision-making?"

Jiang Mengyuan was suddenly a bit flustered and waved her hands repeatedly: "No... it's not that."

"Then why?"

"Because... because..." Jiang Mengyuan's small face flushed bright red, her two slender, jade-like thighs clamping together restlessly, "because you are a good person, Senior."
