Yuan Xiao did not know that she had already been hated like this even though she had clearly not done anything.
In her opinion, Xu Wan was just a little difficult to get along with, but she had never thought that Xu Wan would have the thought of forcing her to drop out of school. She did not understand why a person would have so much malice.
“Xiao Xiao, will we meet that Tang Lu?” Li Chang felt angry at the thought of what had happened at the hotpot restaurant. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being criticized for no reason.
“Of course. Isn’t she a member of the photography club?” Yuan Xiao did not seem to care if she would see Tang Lu. In her opinion, she had not done anything wrong, so she should not be the one feeling nervous and guilty.
“Aren’t you worried that you’ll have another argument with her?” Li Chang admired Yuan Xiao’s mentality. After all, Tang Lu was a senior two years older than them. Li Chang was still a little worried that she would target her.
“As long as she doesn’t cause trouble, we should be fine.” Yuan Xiao patted Li Chang’s shoulder comfortingly and explained to her, “It’s fine. With me around, there’s no need to worry.”
Although Yuan Xiao did not directly explain anything, Li Chang was indeed much more at ease when she heard her words. She did not know when it started, but Yuan Xiao seemed to have become more and more reliable.
Not only could she help everyone in their studies, but Yuan Xiao could also handle some small matters very well.
“That’s right. Anyway, she was the one who misunderstood us previously. She shouldn’t say anything else this time, right?” Although Wang Xin was also afraid of trouble, she had never been the type to tlerate grievances. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have formed a grudge with Cui Ya in the winter break training camp.
“Let’s go. The time that the president requested is almost up. We still have to climb the mountain. It shouldn’t be too easy today.” Yuan Xiao looked at Li
Chang and Wang Xin, who were standing beside her. She was very grateful that they could accompany her to join the photography club.
If not for Li Chang and Wang Xin joining in, Yuan Xiao would only feel even more bored. After all, it was only to complete the system mission. Yuan Xiao really did not have much talent in photography.
“You guys are quite early!” Xue Tong saw Yuan Xiao and the others walking over from outside the club activity room and greeted them warmly.
“Senior Xue Tong, good morning.” Yuan Xiao, Li Chang and Wang Xin also
greeted Xue Tong. After all, this senior in front of them looked much easier to get along with than Tang Lu, whom they had met in the hotpot restaurant.
“In a while, the bus chartered by the president will pick us up at the school gate. Teacher Zhai from our art faculty will go with our club.”
Upon hearing Xue Tong’s words, Yuan Xiao looked into the activity room and asked curiously, “Senior Xue Tong, where are the others in the club?”
“The old members of the club have already gone to the school gate. I specially stayed here to wait for the new members.”
Xue Tong looked at Yuan Xiao and the other two and skillfully locked the door of the club activity room. She smiled and said to them, “Since our new members are all here, we’ll set off.”
“What?” Li Chang widened her eyes slightly and asked Xue Tong in disbelief,
“Senior, are you sure that all the new members of our club are here?”
“That’s right. Are you going to bring any friends along?” Xue Tong said with anticipation in her eyes.
“No.” Yuan Xiao’s eyelids twitched. She suddenly had a bad feeling. “Senior Xue Tong, are you sure there are only the three of us among the new members of our club?”
“That’s right. You’re the three most outstanding and promising members left behind by our president!”
Although Xue Tong’s tone was very excited, Yuan Xiao and the others’ reactions were very cold. This was because the three of them felt like they had been tricked into getting in too deep. This photography club was probably not as simple as they had imagined.
“Did President Pan not agree to the other new students who wanted to join the club?” Yuan Xiao still felt that Xue Tong was hiding something. Although the photography club was at a slightly deserted location during the recruitment, it was not to the extent that it would only recruit the three of them.
“Uh, the president did reject a few…” Xue Tong was a little hesitant about telling the truth because the new students who wanted to join the club previously had lost their interest in joining the club after hearing Pan Yi say that Qi Yuan did not come to the club much.
“Actually, not many students are interested in photography. Moreover, photography equipment is quite expensive. There aren’t many new students who can have a set of equipment when they just entered university..”
