Chapter 30 Chatting on the Playground
Chen Che's recent days have been relatively smooth, but in summary, it's a mixed bag of good and bad.
On the positive side, the previously established strategy has received quite good feedback, and the Xiangshan Garden area where Chen Che lives has uniformly adopted "whole-time fries".
The total number of installations and downloads has reached several thousand. With this user base, Chen Che has become much more assertive when promoting his products in other dormitory areas.
On the negative side, the controversy surrounding the "suicide pact" gradually subsided after the National Day holiday, but that doesn't mean Chen Che has been forgotten. Now, when I walk down the street and my classmates greet me, they say "Hi, Suicide Pact Bro," which makes me want to breathe on him again.
No more evening self-study sessions. After dinner, Chen Che wandered around the school again. Finally, he revisited the same place and when he got to the edge of Mirror Lake, he saw that a fence had been set up on the west bank, indicating that everyone should not approach.
My grand fishing project, "starting from the school's artificial lake to fish for eternity," failed. I was supposed to catch a 10-pound big mandarin fish and a big black carp in the school and take it to the cafeteria for the auntie to cook. The auntie's daughter fell for my superb fishing skills.
He caught a big fish with his own bait, and then used the big fish to catch a mermaid. Shouldn't the story unfold like this?
Before I knew it, I had walked all the way to the edge of Jiangpu playground. It was a little past six or seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still quite a few people running, exercising, and playing football on the playground.
After all, no matter what you do, having a healthy body is always a good thing.
Failing the physical fitness test for college students is a real problem. Chen Che tried it out and his time was almost 3 minutes after just one 400-meter lap. He couldn't run the second lap anymore. He hadn't really been training properly lately. At this rate, passing the 1000-meter physical fitness test seemed like a distant dream. But he could only admit that he couldn't do it and stopped to walk slowly for a while.
It's okay. As long as you keep doing the daily "Sunshine Run" exercise, your health will naturally improve.
After walking less than 100 meters, someone suddenly patted him on the left shoulder. Chen Che looked to the left and saw no one there. He then realized that the person who patted him was on the right.
Chen Sui's eyes sparkled as she looked at him with a smile.
Chen Che took a look. Chen Sui was wearing a white and pink gradient quick-drying sports shirt without sleeves, revealing her fair and tender arms. She was wearing pure white sports shorts, confidently showing off her pair of healthy and strong legs.
"Why did you stop walking?" Chen Sui asked, slightly out of breath, with a little sweat on her nose.
"I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."
"Tsk tsk, with your intensity, you won't pass the physical test," Chen Sui laughed.
"It's alright, the Bodhisattva will protect me." Chen Che took a deep breath and put his hands together in prayer.
"Let's run a little further, I'll carry you."
Chen Sui took out her phone, swiped the screen for a while, and a short, silent female vocalization, accompanied by a gradually brightening prelude, seamlessly began to play:
"Sand in the Sky of Dunhuang"
Take away our memories
......
Chen Che was also familiar with this song, "Crescent Bay" by F.I.R. As a group that was once popular all over the country, their popularity among college students was beyond question. Although the band later disbanded, reformed, and changed members, no one else could sing it with the gypsy-like charm of the original lead singer, Faye Chan.
"what."
"One of my favorite songs is 'Crescent Bay'." Chen Sui gently massaged the muscles on her legs.
"It'll be easier if you run while listening to music, and try to stay close to me."
After Chen Sui finished speaking, she started running in front of him. The running motion stretched the muscles in her thighs and calves, outlining the exquisite and beautiful contours and curves of her legs. As she passed by others, she unsurprisingly attracted their attention.
"Damn it, I didn't agree to run with her." Chen Che complained inwardly, but started to push off with his feet to keep up.
Unfortunately, he couldn't run any more after one lap. Panting, Chen Che braced himself with his hands, straddled the parallel bars, and watched Chen Sui run away.
After Chen Sui finished running two laps, she stopped in the parallel bars area and stretched her legs into an arc shape.
"What are you doing?"
"Stretch your legs, otherwise they'll become stiff muscles."
Chen Che quietly watched Chen Sui massage her thighs and relax her muscles. Then Chen Sui sat on the parallel bars, but on the other end. Her expression changed from relaxed and carefree while running to frowning and gradually becoming disappointed.
This is her hobby, and also a habit to relieve boredom.
"Something on your mind?" Chen Che asked casually.
"Huh?...No." Chen Sui shook her head.
"Say it if you want to, otherwise don't," Chen Che said indifferently.
Chen Sui hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"Chen Che".
"Um?"
"There's something I need your analysis."
"What is it?"
Chen Sui sighed and recounted in detail how Guo Mei had asked her to apply for a scholarship.
"Oh, so you agreed? And you got corrupted?" Chen Che teased.
Chen Sui shook her head decisively: "No, I didn't agree. There's no reason for her family to need to apply for this money."
"Isn't that great?"
"Then they said I couldn't even take care of such a small thing, and that it was a waste that they elected me as class monitor." Chen Sui laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Hmm... Have you thought about why she insists on fighting for this 200 yuan, even though she's already invested almost more than 200 yuan?" Chen Che said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Sui thought for a while, and after running for a bit, her thoughts became much clearer. She slowly said, "Could it be that she's aiming for school-level or national-level scholarships and grants?"
"It should be true if nothing unexpected happens, you smarty, you nipped it in the bud."
"But the applications for those later stages all require proof of poverty, or even being registered as a poverty-stricken household," Chen Sui said, frowning.
"Yes, if he gets this 200 yuan, he can use it for his application materials later, right?" Chen Che replied, adding, "In fact, the fact that you didn't let her get this money this time doesn't necessarily mean that she won't be able to get higher-level scholarships and grants later."
"So, does that mean I should just give her face? It doesn't matter who I give it to anyway." Chen Sui suddenly deflated.
"No~No~No~No~No~" Chen Che waved his finger.
"I have another option here for you to choose from."
"Um?"
"Next time, don't send out this notice. Just tell me secretly that our dorm will cover this, and everyone will give you 50% back."
Chen Sui was taken aback: "Is that even possible?"
"Of course, if one person pays a hundred, then five people would pay five hundred."
"Hey, if you feel the ratio isn't right, we can discuss it further. How about 4:6? 3:7 is a bit too greedy."
Seeing Chen Che's serious expression, Chen Sui quickly realized what he meant: "Then aren't you just embezzling your classmates' money? You owe half of five hundred, that's two hundred and fifty!"
"Hehe, haven't you thought this through very clearly?"
"But, well, people are influenced by their environment, aren't they?"
"Hmm... there's a saying I don't know if you've heard before."
"What?"
"When faced with two choices, flipping a coin always works, not because it always gives the right answer, but because in that split second when it's in the air, you suddenly know what the outcome you want."
"Of course, people are influenced by their environment little by little. Even the most spotless person will be swallowed up by a single black spot in a dark environment. This is what most people understand as blending in with the world."
"But in the beginning, before you've been influenced by your environment, the decisions you make depend on what kind of person you are."
"So, just stick to your choice from the beginning. At least this time, you're still following your heart."
"Sigh, I wonder if they'll start isolating me," Chen Sui joked.
"Yeah, your dorm has at least two group chats now."
"What's the maximum?"
"At most, let me calculate, if we don't consider the two of you creating group chats, it's C(5,3)+C(5,4)+C(5,5)=10+5+1=16."
"Wow, so many!"
"Yes, you know you were wrong, right? Hurry back and beg your roommate for forgiveness. It's hard to be yourself. You should understand the importance of blending in with the crowd as soon as possible."
"No way, I'll still do it next time." Chen Sui shook her head resolutely.
However, if I were ostracized, I really don't know who else I could easily get along with at school, talk to, and chat with.
Wait, something doesn't seem right...
Right now, I'm just relaxed, talking and chatting with someone.
Chen Sui turned her head to look at Chen Che, who was observing the female students running past her with an upright expression to see if they had bad habits such as bowlegs or pigeon toes.
Early detection, early correction.
"Chen Che, go back now that you're done running!"
"If you want to go back, then go back. I'll go back later."
"No, you go back too!"
"When I go back is none of your business."
"It's alright. You should go home and rest early. I'll ask you to go for a run tomorrow morning!"
