Dad, please try harder

By five o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Quan's roommates had already arrived.

Gao Yan from Linjiang, Guo Hongyi from Handong, and Shen Fei, a native of Zhonghai.

Among them, Guo Hongyi and Qian Quan are from the history department, and Gao Yan and Shen Fei are from the philosophy department.

After the initial acquaintance, Guo Hongyi invited everyone to go to dinner together and get familiar with the campus environment. Qian Quan and Gao Yan both followed, but Shen Fei declined.

It can be seen that the superiority of the locals of Shenfei Zhonghai is still very obvious. They are wearing brand clothes, carrying a one-shoulder British-style retro Cambridge bag, and using the latest Apple mobile phone.

Just like Ding Linlang said, he is the kind of person who was born in Shanghai.

It's normal to have a sense of distance.

As for Guo Hongyi and Gao Yan, similar to Qian Quan, they are both small town essayists, but their personalities are quite different. Guo Hongyi is more outgoing and talkative, while Gao Yan is relatively silent and introverted.

"The club is recruiting new students tomorrow, which one are you going to apply for?"

On the way back to the dormitory after dinner, Guo Hongyi asked casually.

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow. My preference is chess and basketball, but a senior sister suggested that I consider the Yangqing Drama Club, so I can take a look at it then," Qian Quan said.

"I also want to sign up for basketball," Guo Hongyi said, and then he was curious, "Why would any senior suggest that you sign up for the drama club?"

"When I was reporting today, a senior sister came over to join me at the orientation point, and then told me, didn't she join you?" Qian Quan asked.

"No, my seniors helped me when I signed up!" Guo Hongyi's tone gradually became louder, "Can I ask which senior it is?"

"He's the one with twin tails, his name is Wang Tongyu."

"The most beautiful one!!! I even told you my name???"

When Guo Hongyi signed up, he obviously also noticed the innocent and lovely senior Wang Tongyu. He looked at Qian Quan with a complicated expression, and finally sighed resignedly, "Forget it, this is a world that depends on looks, and the old man Qian, your looks are slightly better than mine, I don’t blame my senior sister.

"Where are you, Lao Gao?"

"There is no senior to join me." Gao Yan said truthfully.

"I'm not asking this, I'm asking what club you want to sign up for?"

Gao Yan shook his head: "I won't sign up for the club. I want to use the four years of college to do something that interests me."

"Well, everyone has his or her own ambitions."

While chatting, several people returned to the dormitory and found that Shen Fei was not there, so they didn't ask any questions.

Qian Quan briefly reported today's registration status to his parents in the "Happy Family" group.

His mother replied, telling him to eat well, maintain adequate nutrition, sleep more, and drink more water.

Qian Quan replied to his mother: "Okay, I remember."

I don’t know if it has something to do with the zodiac sign, but Qian Quan’s concern for his mother has never gone past the rebellious stage. Even when he was in the second grade of middle school, he never thought his mother was a nagging person.

Dad also replied after a while, teaching him that while he was studying his major well, he could take other majors, take classes, spend more time in the library, and make full use of the four years of college where he could study freely.

Qian Quan also replied seriously to his father:

"Received! I will definitely make full use of the four years of college to improve myself in an all-round way. I will not mess around. I will remember your teachings and follow your example. I will persist in learning, persist in absorbing new knowledge, cherish time, and cherish life. .”

Mom seemed a little bit unable to stand it anymore, and complained: "Can you two stop being so official?"

Qian Quan immediately responded with a [prosperous wealth] expression.

Mom: "Why do you look like a dog? Did you know that your dad and I are going to get a dog?"

Qian Quan: "..." Why do parents have such specific understandings of certain emoticons?

…

Early next morning.

After Qian Quan and Guo Hongyi had breakfast, they went to the campus to visit clubs and recruit new students.

The scene was simply more lively than yesterday.

There are two rows of mainly red, mixed with yellow and blue parasols. The club members responsible for recruiting new members are divided into two parts. One part is responsible for registering information and answering questions, and the other part is showing off their talents.

At a glance, you can see someone doing hip-hop dancing, someone playing guitar, someone skateboarding, someone playing nunchucks, someone wearing a karate suit kicking a wooden board...

It's like visiting some talent market.

Qian Quan and Guo Hongyi went to find the basketball club.

Because the names of the respective societies are written on the umbrellas and they are arranged in an orderly manner, it is not difficult to find them even though there are many people.

However, the two of them didn't go far before they were stopped. To be precise, it was Qian Quan who was stopped.

"Hello, classmate, we would like to invite you to come and learn about our Yangqing Chinese Drama Club. Our Drama Club is the earliest established in our school and the club with the highest ratings. Once you pass the interview and successfully join, you can enjoy free life-time

The benefits of watching a drama.”

Two pretty girls stood in front of Qian Quan and introduced him enthusiastically.

"How do you know we are freshmen?" Qian Quan asked curiously.

"Because the freshmen have a greenish look on their faces, which makes them easy to recognize." One of the girls answered.

Qian Quan smiled and nodded, and asked: "With this lifetime free viewing of the drama, can I only watch it by myself, or can I bring my girlfriend with me?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" another girl blurted out.

"Not now, but you said it's free for life. I think I will definitely have a girlfriend in the future."

"Oh, haha, yes, that's true. If your girlfriend is also in the drama club, that's fine." The girl gave a high EQ answer.

"I understand, then let me sign up." Qian Quan thought to himself, it's time to sign up anyway, we'll decide whether to go to the interview or not.

"Okay, classmate, please come over and register the information."

When Qian Quan wrote his name in the name column, the two girls next to him were surprised: "Are you Qian Quan?"

"You know me?" Qian Quan was also surprised.

"Yes, Wang Tongyu told us that this year the history department admitted a new student with good conditions."

"Oh." Qian Quan suddenly realized.

After filling in the information, the two girls added Qian Quan to WeChat.

At this time, Guo Hongyi, who had been standing aside and watching with cold eyes, asked: "Sister, can I sign up?"

A senior sister glanced at him and said, "Okay, if you want to sign up, just fill out the form."

"Well, let me ask, I'm not interested in performing in dramas."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Guo Hongyi called Qian Quan: "Old Qian, let's go!"

The two continued to find the basketball club.

After walking a few steps, Guo Hongyi said: "Old Qian, chess club."

Qian Quan took a look and saw a man, two women, and three people sitting under a big yellow umbrella with the word "Chess Association" on the left. The boy had a crew cut and a pair of thick glasses. He had three chess games in front of him.

The two girls looked relatively quiet. One was sitting at the table and responsible for registration, and the other was reading the chess records.

It looks a little deserted, but it fits the temperament of chess.

Qian Quan stepped forward and asked: "Hello, senior, how can I sign up for the chess club?"

The senior student in charge of registration glanced at him and asked in a gentle tone: "Can you play chess?"

"meeting."

"Are there any levels?"

There are no ranks in Chinese chess, but there are levels, and it is divided into two parts: professional and amateur.

Qian Quan shook his head: "There is no level."

"Well, you first play a round with Senior Cao Chuande. If you can pass his assessment, you will officially join."

As expected, it is an unpopular club, and the registration and interview were together.

"OK."

Qian Quan walked to senior Cao Chuande and sat down, politely saying: "Senior, please give me some advice."

Cao Chuande glanced at him, then turned to the girl next to him who was reading the chess records and said, "You play with him, and I'll play with you two."

"Okay, Master." The girl sat next to Qian Quan.

"You guys go first."

Senior Cao Chuande is a high-level chess player at first glance, and his level is not low, as can be seen from his confident aura.

Qian Quan and the girl each took a serious step.

Senior Cao Chuande looked calm and responded quickly without thinking.

Then it was the girl's and Qian Quan's turn to take the second step.

After walking for about ten steps in this way, the time that Senior Cao Chuande stayed on Qian Quan's side began to become longer. After a few more steps, he was already trapped on Qian Quan's side.

He turned around and said to the girl, "You lose here", and then concentrated on playing against Qian Quan.

After walking five or six more steps, Qian Quan smiled and said, "It's settled."

With money and power, it would be easy to defeat a distracted opponent, but he didn't want to win without force.

Therefore, he "won with difficulty" in the next 1v1 duel with senior Cao Chuande.

Qian Quan wanted to join the chess club because he wanted to be exposed to more advanced competitions through this channel, so he didn't have to perform too amazingly at the beginning, as long as he passed the assessment.

"One more round?" Senior Cao Chuande wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Did I pass the assessment?" Qian Quan asked.

Elder Cao Chuande blushed and said, "You can pass the exam if you can walk 25 steps under me. You have beaten me, so you will definitely pass."

"Okay, let's discuss it again when we have the opportunity in the future. We also need to sign up for the basketball club." Qian Quan stood up.

"Okay, remember to register your information." Senior Cao Chuande is no longer as arrogant as before.

Qian Quan filled out the form and moved forward with Guo Hongyi.

"Let's not delay this time and go straight to the basketball club." Guo Hongyi said.

"Um."

Before the two of them finished speaking, a tall boy wearing a karate uniform stopped Qian Quan and said in a bad tone:

"Is that why you call me Qian Quan?"
