Chapter 174: Editing a newsletter together?

Monday, October 10, morning.

Lu Mingfei had just stood at the intersection when he heard a greeting from behind.

"Good morning, monitor."

"Ah, good morning, Chen Wenwen." Lu Mingfei turned his head and greeted her.

Lu Mingfei was now used to meeting one of Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang at a fixed time in the morning. He didn't even need to look, he could tell who was coming just by the sound of their voice.

But this is also because Lu Mingfei is familiar with the voices of the three people.

It goes without saying that Liu Miaomiao is his girlfriend now; Su Xiaoqiang quarreled with him for three years in his previous life, and they would probably continue to quarrel for three years in this life; not to mention Chen Wenwen, who was Lu Mingfei's earliest crush, and he was already very familiar with her voice.

Perhaps because the weather had turned cooler after the National Day, Chen Wenwen no longer wore her summer school uniform. Instead, she wore the white cotton skirt that Lu Mingfei had left a deep impression on her, with knee-length stockings underneath.

Shilan Middle School does not require students to wear school uniforms, and fewer and fewer people wear school uniforms after autumn. Therefore, Chen Wenwen's outfit is not out of place among the students.

However, because of her literary and elegant temperament, as well as her well-behaved and sweet looks, she still attracts a lot of attention in the crowd.

Although the National Day holiday has passed, the restless atmosphere in the school has not diminished at all.

Lu Mingfei knew the reason. After all, October 10th was the school anniversary. Not only were the school clubs entering their busiest period, but each class also had to start preparations for the school anniversary.

During this period, the busiest person in the class is undoubtedly Chen Wenwen. As the literary and art committee member and the president of the literature club, she not only has to represent the class in connecting with the student union, but also has to publish a club magazine for the literature club related to the school anniversary.

Lu Mingfei, who sat behind Chen Wenwen, could see her writing and drawing in the notebook every day. After discussing class matters with him, she would rush to the literature club.

"By the way, monitor, I have already prepared the budget table for class activities. Can I show it to you when I get to the classroom?" Chen Wenwen asked.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"If there are no problems, I will give it to the seniors in the Student Union Organization Department for review during the lunch break."

"How about I deliver it to you?"

"Ah?" Chen Wenwen was stunned. "Isn't this too much trouble for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingfei confessed, "Anyway, I have something to do at the Student Union, so I just took it there for you. Besides, aren't you busy lately?"

Chen Wenwen lowered her head.

She didn't know why, but she felt like she had been taking care of Lu Mingfei recently. Although they sat at the desks in front and behind each other, Lu Mingfei was not her most familiar boy in the class. They didn't even talk much at the beginning of the school year.

Although she and Lu Mingfei actually knew each other earlier than the start of school.

As early as right after the high school entrance examination, she came to visit Shilan Middle School. On the way home, she passed by a coffee shop and bought a dessert. She met Lu Mingfei. At that time, Lu Mingfei generously gave her the only Swiss roll, but she did not want to accept other people's kindness casually, so she did not buy the Swiss roll.

Then before school started, when I went to the computer city to buy a computer, I met Lu Mingfei again.

Then during the National Day holiday, I helped myself make a program schedule.

Although there was not much interaction between the two of them, in class, Lu Mingfei seemed to only look at Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang, not even glancing at her.

But he always happens to appear when I need help, and leaves right after helping me, as if he really has no purpose, just to help me. Unlike other boys, he always has other ideas in his mind.

Chen Wenwen was hesitant, not knowing whether she should accept Lu Mingfei's kindness.

She was actually embarrassed to be helped for no reason. But just like Lu Mingfei said, she was really busy now.

The school anniversary is coming up, and she is already a bit overwhelmed by the things in class and the literature club. Some time ago, she also took on the task of helping a senior from the organization department to prepare a program rehearsal schedule, plus she has a novel to update every week.

Seeing that Chen Wenwen kept her head down and didn't speak, Lu Mingfei saw that she was hesitating, so he said directly:

"Chen Wenwen, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

"Eh?"

Chen Wenwen had already prepared her refusal in her mind, but she didn't expect Lu Mingfei to make the decision for her. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should thank Lu Mingfei for his kindness or refuse, and the two of them had already walked into the classroom.

After arriving at the classroom, Liu Miaomiao immediately came to find Lu Mingfei.

Chen Wenwen observed that after the National Day holiday, the cold war between Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei seemed to have ended, and their interactions became more frequent and intimate than before the cold war. And Su Xiaoqiang seemed to want to fade out of the trio intentionally or unintentionally. The relationship between the three seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Although this change was not very obvious and the three of them seemed to want to hide it, Chen Wenwen still noticed it.

Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei were chatting and laughing, and their fingers touched each other intentionally or unintentionally.

And Su Xiaoqiang hasn't come yet.

……

After lunch, Lu Mingfei took the budget sheet to the Organization Department of the Student Union.

As an international private high school, Shilan High School has a very open and internationally friendly school anniversary model. In addition to traditional evening parties, students can also hold spontaneous school anniversary activities by class or club during the day.

School anniversary class activities are usually voted for by classmates, and after a detailed budget is prepared, it is submitted to the Student Union for review. After the Student Union has approved it, the class funds will be allocated.

The class activity that Lu Mingfei's class voted for was to set up a small shop to sell DIY cookies, which was a very common and safe activity. Plus, there was the added gimmick of the three school beauties.

Although not every cookie is made by them, they can still sell something else under the guise of someone else!
The class next door, encouraged by the campus beauty Lin Huihui, voted for the maid café event in an incredible way.

In fact, when he heard that the neighboring class had chosen a maid cafe as their activity, and thought of Liu Miaomiao and the others wearing maid costumes and calling themselves masters, Lu Mingfei felt a little eager to try it.

But when he thought that if his class also opened a maid cafe, his girlfriend Liu Miaomiao would have to call other customers master, Lu Mingfei immediately gave up the idea.

Lu Mingfei knocked on the door of the Student Union.

After hearing the familiar voice saying "Come in", Lu Mingfei pushed the door open and walked in.

Chu Zihang raised his head from a pile of documents and was subconsciously stunned when he saw that the person coming was Lu Mingfei.

"How did you come?"

"I'm here to submit our class's budget." Lu Mingfei waved the document in his hand.

Chu Zihang nodded in sudden realization and pointed to a pile of documents next to him:
"Just leave it there. I'll register your class. Let me confirm first. Is this Class 2 () of Senior High School?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfei said, putting the budget sheet into the pile of documents that Chu Zihang mentioned.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chu Zihang asked when he saw that Lu Mingfei did not leave immediately after submitting the budget form, but stood aside and looked at him.

Lu Mingfei touched the back of his head and said, "Hey, there are some things I want to discuss with my senior brother."

……

In the past, Lu Mingfei was always evasive and timid towards girls. He had been secretly in love with Chen Wenwen for so many years but never took the initiative once.

In fact, later, Hikigaya Hachiman helped him analyze it carefully, saying that if a girl can spend time with you alone, actively invite you to join the club, and is willing to go home with you for three consecutive years, it means you have a chance. What's more, she will soak her feet alone with you shoulder to shoulder by the river.

What are feet? Feet are the third sexual characteristic! Freud believed that feet are intimately connected with sex and have erotic connotations. In the 23rd book of the Bible, Isaiah, feet are compared to vagina! And in various erotic novels, touching feet is the first step for men and women to have sex!
If a girl is willing to take off her shoes and soak her feet with you, and show you her feet openly and shyly, it is enough to explain a lot of problems. But you foolishly think that the girl is really just soaking her feet with you.

The whiter Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes turned, the lower Lu Mingfei lowered his head.

It wasn't just because he remembered Chen Wenwen's snow-white feet and red soles floating in the water after a long time. More importantly, he suddenly remembered that not only Chen Wenwen had bathed her feet with him, but Nuonuo had also bathed with him.

So he had missed more opportunities than he thought. It was just that he was too cowardly. To use a sentence from the Chinese Ideological and Moral Education textbook that Lu Mingfei had studied, it was called lack of subjective initiative... Many things rolled in Lu Mingfei's mind.

So he decided not to be a coward in this life! Since he was already in love with Liu Miaomiao, he couldn't hesitate and muddle through.

He wants to give Liu Miaomiao a gift.

……

Although Brother Paralysis looks like he has facial paralysis, he is actually a warm-hearted person who is quite easy to talk to... He even has a strong gossipy nature.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's request, Chu Zihang lowered his head and thought for a while. The first thing he said when he looked up was: "Are you already with Liu Miaomiao? As for Liu Miaomiao, how do you plan to seduce her and make her accept Chen Wenwen?"

"Fuck, Brother, why do you still remember this?"

Besides, I don’t have any intersection with Chen Wenwen now! Brother, your version is too old!
"It's just a joke, don't mind it." Chu Zihang actually smiled, which was rare. "Of course there is no problem on my side, but if you really want to do this, you need to make a new schedule. Time is very tight, can you make it in time?"

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Lu Mingfei said.

As long as the paralyzed senior brother agreed, the rest would be easy. Because I had already done it for Chen Wenwen before, the difficulty of doing it again would be much lower.

But it's true that when you mention the devil, he appears. Lu Mingfei just walked out of the student union and bumped into someone head-on.

Before Lu Mingfei saw who he had bumped into, he only heard a delicate cry of "Ah", followed by papers and books flying and falling everywhere.

Lu Mingfei quickly squatted down to pick it up, and asked the other party as he picked it up:

"Are you okay? Did you get hit anywhere?"

Then Lu Mingfei was stunned, because the person he bumped into was Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen rubbed her legs and said it was okay, but when she looked up and saw that it was Lu Mingfei who bumped into her, she was visibly stunned.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered Yang Zirong’s lines in the model opera “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy”, which said “Whatever you want will come true. If you want to drink milk, your mother is here! If you miss your mother’s family, your child’s uncle is here!

I thought about soaking my feet with Chen Wenwen, and then Chen Wenwen came.

"Class monitor, you..." Chen Wenwen glanced at the sign of the Student Union on the door, "Did you just come back from the Student Union after handing in the budget form?"

"Yes."

Lu Mingfei helped Chen Wenwen pick up the papers and books scattered on the ground, and his eyes unconsciously swept over Chen Wenwen's delicate ankles. MD! The weather was not good, and it was getting colder. Chen Wenwen stopped wearing sandals and wore white shoes.

Chen Wenwen also got up from the ground and squatted to pick up the trash.

"Did you just come back from the library?"

After picking up almost everything, Lu Mingfei put the books and papers in his hand on the pile of books in Chen Wenwen's hand. When putting the books on top, Chen Wenwen's arms visibly sank with effort.

"Yes." Chen Wenwen nodded, but did not mention that she was editing the company magazine.

Who would have thought that Lu Mingfei would actually ask directly: "Has your literature club's magazine not been edited yet?"

Chen Wenwen was subconsciously stunned.

"Captain Lu, how did you know that I was editing the magazine..."

"Have you forgotten that I studied at Shilan Middle School in junior high school?" Lu Mingfei quickly made up for it, "The school anniversary activity of the literature club is to publish a club journal."

Actually, that's not true! It's true that Lu Mingfei also studied in Shilan Middle School when he was in junior high school, but he didn't care about what each club did during the school anniversary celebration.

The reason why he knew that Chen Wenwen was busy with the literature club's magazine during this period was because during the school celebrations in his previous life, he and Chen Wenwen edited the literature club's magazine every year.

Although there are many members in the literature club, in fact most of them are there for Chen Wenwen. The daily club activities are just pretending to hold a book, and then everyone looks at Chen Wenwen's profile tacitly.

This group of people may be fine if you ask them to pick a few famous quotes from the Internet and pretend to be literary youths and recite them in front of Chen Wenwen, but as for really asking them to do something, they simply know nothing.

Chen Wenwen obviously had no intention of directing them to do anything, so the task of publishing the literature club's magazine every year fell on her. Lu Mingfei was the only one who edited the magazine with her.

Chen Wenwen was sorting out the typesetting, while Lu Mingfei was in charge of helping Chen Wenwen find the books and materials she wanted in the library. Sometimes the two of them would sit side by side, with Chen Wenwen's arm rubbing against his, and his heart would flutter...

He remembered that the two of them spent a week in the library to organize all the information. It sounded very long and tiring, but at that time he wished that this magazine could be like Borges' "Book of Sand", which would never have a last page, so that he and Chen Wenwen could edit it for the rest of their lives.

"So that's it."

Chen Wenwen nodded slightly behind the book, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Then I'll leave first, squad leader..." said Chen Wenwen.

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei nodded, remembering that the magazine had not been edited yet, Chen Wenwen should be busy, and he couldn't delay her for too long. But then he noticed that Chen Wenwen seemed to be struggling to hold the pile of books.

This is not surprising, Lu Mingfei knew that Chen Wenwen was the kind of girl with very little strength, and couldn't even unscrew a bottle cap. When he and Chen Wenwen were editing the magazine, he did all the hard work like moving books.

Seeing Chen Wenwen holding a pile of books and walking unsteadily, Lu Mingfei didn't know what was wrong with him and couldn't help but call out to Chen Wenwen who was about to leave.

"How about...I can help you edit the club magazine?"
