President Yu and Senior Sister Yin have a thing going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, your info is way outdated. Latest news says, not only do they have a thing, they even got caught going on a zoo date!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh—seriously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can it be fake? The photos are plastered all over the campus forum, go see for yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the reason we got a day off today is thanks to President Yu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, I heard that too. Apparently, President Yu wanted to hold a club event today, so Grand Principal Jiang just gave the whole school the day off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... you guys are spreading some wild rumors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it wild? Yesterday during the lecture, Principal Jiang personally backed up our president, didn’t you hear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Backing up is one thing, giving a day off is a bit much. I really don’t think so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, then you tell me which school gives a holiday for ’Fan Zhongyan’s’ birthday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up front in the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan, the vice president, was deep in conversation with a JK Junior Sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted from philosophy to life, from literature to art, from the cosmos to geography...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the clock neared nine o’clock, Yu Jin and Yin Yao should be arriving any minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan looked at the JK Junior Sister, and solemnly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Care to show your legs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The JK Junior Sister stayed silent, pulled out her phone, and promptly blocked Tang Yunxuan on WeChat right after adding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan instantly panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not interested in continuing our discussion about the interstellar planet ’Oumuamua’ and its future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about our visit to the library to read Nietzsche together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t mean to check out your legs, I just wanted to see the path you’ve walked, learn about your past and growth, you know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The JK Junior Sister snorted lightly, turned her head away, and ignored Old Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang stood there, awkward and speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few minutes later, the VIPs arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin and Yin Yao walked into the activity room side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The club members who had just been gossiping about their rumors went dead silent, but their facial expressions were priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin kept it short, not bothering to explain he just happened to run into Yin Yao downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"103 people, full attendance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the things ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d spent the past couple of days grinding levels and collecting rewards, leaving all club activity prep to Tang Yunxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang grinned, ran to the back of the classroom, and lifted the gray cloth cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underneath, over a hundred fishing nets, woven sacks, and orange life vests were neatly stacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice job!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin gave his praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the vice president, after all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang straightened his back, full of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>made all the previously tense and quiet club members relax and laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the JK Junior Sister, after staring at Tang Yunxuan for a while, took him off her blacklist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since everyone is here and the tools are ready, then—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up front in the classroom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin, as the president, scanned the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grab your tools, let’s head out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destination—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sewage river outside the campus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred club members looked at each other, then shouted in unison:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Environmental Protection Club, loyal~ty~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President, loyal~ty~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Environmental Protection Club, nets in hand, vests on their backs, sacks in tow, walked out through the main gate of Jiangcheng University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sewage river wasn’t far from Jiang University, less than a kilometer away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yu Jin picked walking as their method of travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late summer in September, still scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the hundred-plus club members were full of energy, many unconsciously puffing out their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one simple reason—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever they went, people on the street couldn’t help but stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stares started as curious, then surprised, and when they saw Tang Yunxuan at the front with his ’Environmental Protection’ flag, it turned into admiration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In weather like this, these college students weren’t chilling indoors with the AC on, but out here doing environmental work—anyone who saw them would have to give some respect and a compliment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, this is really getting hype now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan couldn’t help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin glanced at the giant two- or three-meter-wide flag he was holding, emblazoned with ’Environmental Protection.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t ask you to bring that thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang scratched his head and grinned: \"I figured a flag would make it feel more epic, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin shook his head with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, even the corners of Yin Yao’s lips curled up slightly, for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her original reason for joining this activity was just to get in good with Yu Jin, cling to his leg, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving all that aside, the event itself felt fresh and fun for her, definitely worth the trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Old Yu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan, flag in hand, kept enjoying the looks from passersby and turned to Yu Jin, sounding a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday Grand Principal Jiang backed you up, even said other teachers and students outside the club could join in if they wanted...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought a ton of people would be here to help today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But right now, besides our Environmental Protection Club members, I haven’t seen a single other person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s weird, man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Logically, even if nobody else shows, the Student Union suck-ups should want to join in for clout...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tang Yunxuan spoke, he suddenly noticed Yu Jin and Yin Yao had both stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just them, all hundred club members froze in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re not there yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the sewage river like the back of his hand—still two or three hundred meters to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a puzzled look, Tang Yunxuan moved the flag aside and followed Yu Jin and Yin Yao’s gaze forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one glance, Tang Yunxuan was dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just up ahead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two or three hundred meters away, both sides of the sewage river were packed with crowds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t just a couple dozen or a hundred—it was several hundred, maybe a thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did all of Jiang University show up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said it, Tang Yunxuan’s eyes literally popped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw, at the very front of the crowd, a few familiar figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Jiang Haichuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Principal Grell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a sec!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Standing between them—isn’t that the top boss of Jiang
