Chapter 156

"What exactly do you do?"

Xiyuanji Qilai's eyes shone, and she explained seriously:

"The activities are to collect and preserve various interesting things with stories from around the world!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was still somewhat blank, clearly not having a clear enough understanding of this concept.

Xuecun Lingyin furrowed her brows slightly and pointed out the key problem:

"It sounds more like an extension of your personal collection hobby."

"More importantly, what substantial connection does this have to the literature we're interested in?"

"If you can't prove this, I won't consider joining."

Xiyuanji Qilai clenched her hands into fists and elaborated on her vision with enthusiasm:

"Of course there's a connection!"

"Because we aren't just collecting items; we can also uncover the stories, history, and cultural significance behind them."

"Just like the century-old cherry blossom tree in the school, how many generations of youth has it witnessed?"

"And how many romantic or moving legends surround it?"

"We collect materials and photos related to it, even a meaningful fallen cherry blossom petal, and then record and present these stories and emotions in the form of literary creation—poetry, prose, micro-fiction, or even scripts!"

Xuecun Lingyin pondered and raised a more practical question about club operations:

"The idea is interesting."

"However, founding a new club isn't that easy."

"According to school regulations, any club must have clear activity content, goals, and 'actual results' that can be displayed."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui chimed in:

"Just like the Track and Field Club I joined, our actual results require club members to have achievements in regional tournaments and county tournaments."

"If it's just 'collecting items' and 'writing some stories,' I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the approval of the student council and the advisor, and it will be difficult to obtain activity funds and a classroom."

Xiyuanji Qilai had clearly thought about this problem, and she added firmly and clearly:

"I already have a plan for the actual results; it won't be aimless collection."

"I plan to systematically collect, organize, and record the historical stories, important events, commemorative items of traditional activities, and oral histories of the school or clubs."

"I also plan to visit various clubs to collect symbolic items that represent their spirit, history, or important moments, and create documentary literature or character interviews around these items, digging into the sweat, dreams, and human touch behind the clubs."

"We can even set our sights beyond the school and learn about and collect things outside the school based on the above forms!"

"Our results will be presented in the form of a regularly published 'Collection Club Journal'."

"This journal will contain pictures of the items we've collected, research materials, and most importantly—the literary works we've created based on historical facts and materials."

"The goal is to build it into an on-campus cultural reading material welcomed by teachers and students!"

"In addition, we can also hold themed exhibitions at future school festivals to display our collections and results."

"In this way, Lingyin's literary atmosphere is satisfied, Natsume-kun's condition of being relaxed and liking field trips is also satisfied, and my interest in collecting things is also satisfied!"

After finishing.

Xiyuanji Qilai scratched her cheek and asked them somewhat shyly:

"What do you think... of my idea?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's face lit up:

"This kind of statement and club activity can count as actual results; I feel it can completely pass the teacher's test!"

Xuecun Lingyin pondered:

"If that's the case, I'm actually a little interested."

Xiyuanji Qilai looked at Natsume Chikage, who had been silent all along, and said with anticipation:

"Natsume-kun, what about you?"

Natsume Chikage was actually interested in this 'Collection Club' after hearing Xiyuanji Qilai's idea.

He had been worrying about not having any reason to contact or understand the actual owner of the 'Confession Cherry Blossom Tree'.

But if there was a pretext of a Collection Club, he could indeed use this to ask school leaders and others, and then he could learn about related matters.

And he felt that there might be students in the school who, like Yue Dao Lin, possessed special equipment.

After joining this club, he would also have an excuse and channel to take the opportunity to understand and get to know these people.

More importantly, Xiyuanji Qilai and Xuecun Lingyin were both in the same class as him; if they all joined this club together, presumably if there was anything in the future, it would be simple to apply for leave directly.

It wouldn't be like other clubs where he had to apply not to participate in club activities and then be chased by the club president and teachers asking why he didn't participate.

Natsume Chikage felt it was really good and agreed:

"I can do it too."

Xiyuanji Qilai said excitedly:

"That's great!"

"Then let's not delay and go find the teacher immediately!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was still very happy that she could give a good suggestion at this time.

But after seeing the scene of the three of them standing together, the joy on her face disappeared visibly, and she fell into deep astonishment.

No!!

If this continues, doesn't it mean that these two beautiful girls will be in the same club as Natsume-kun, and they will be together at school and together after school?!

Wouldn't Natsume-kun spend more time with them than with her?

Oh no!!

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was annoyed.

Along the way, although she felt that Xiyuanji Qilai and Xuecun Lingyin didn't seem to have any feelings for Natsume Chikage.

But in the same club, who knows if they will develop feelings over time?

So—Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui raised her hand without hesitation:

"I want to join the Collection Club too!"

Natsume Chikage was confused:

"Haven't you already joined the Track and Field Club?"

"Why join the Collection Club too?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui smiled sheepishly:

"Haha, because for a club to be founded, it needs at least four people."

"And I suggested that you establish a club, so I have some responsibility or something..."

"Although I've already joined the Track and Field Club, the school doesn't stipulate that a student can only join one club."

"As far as I know, there are indeed some students who have joined two or three clubs at the same time."

"So I can join your club... it's just that I might not always be there occasionally."

Xiyuanji Qilai heard this and held Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's small hand excitedly:

"Mm-hmm, I welcome your joining, Aoi-chan!"

"If this goes on, our club members will be gathered all at once!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's mouth twitched:

"Haha... that's true."

The two of them were bouncing around 'happily' there.

Xuecun Lingyin stared at Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui like a cat; although this girl's statement sounded like there was no problem, she always felt it was a bit strange.

Natsume Chikage didn't think much of it, only feeling that now that four people were gathered, the club could be considered founded.

The matter of him needing to join a club could be considered perfectly resolved.

Natsume Chikage looked at the time and proposed:

"It's about four o'clock now, it's not early."

"The teacher might not be at school."

"Let's talk about establishing the club tomorrow."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also chimed in:

"At this time, Natsume-kun and I also have to prepare to go to work."

Xuecun Lingyin reached out to tuck the hair by her left ear, still as cold as ever:

"I'm also preparing to go back."

Xiyuanji Qilai smiled slightly: ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
