118 Focusing on College

Sports clubs would attract the freshmen’s attention by wearing sportswear, and culture, photography and chess clubs would show off their colorful accomplishments.

Workshop clubs would attract students with DIY activities, and magician clubs were not nervous, as their exaggerated cartoon posters and game curtains would stand out in a crowd.

Night fell. Ye Dong hung up the last colorful lamps, thus completing the two-day event preparations.

The next morning, as dew fell from slightly yellow leaves, the campus got more and more crowded.

Posters had been arranged along the paths and the roads, and signs had been placed on the turns.

Freshmen, as well as older students and teachers, had come to join in the fun of the leisurely weekend.

One could find the mascot at the main entrance.

Qin Guan was distributing colorful balloons to students and teachers.

The boys might have been ashamed by his childish presence, but they were satisfied by his warm, shining smile.

Not long after, the cleverest one among them spoke.

"Is the mascot a sophomore?"

"Yes."

"All the freshmen will go through the entrance, right?"

"Yes."

"When the girls see him, will they consider him the standard for a boyfriend?"

"Oh, no!"

The boys stood there with balloons in their hands and tears on their faces.

Some staff from various clubs tried to encourage them, "Don't worry. There will be some clubs willing to accept you."

Do we look like hopeless losers?

Students clustered around Qin Guan. Many girls hovered around him with their balloons, trying to find excuses to stay by the entrance.

"Don't push me! I’ll fall!" The girl pretended to fall and leaned against Qin Guan.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the girls tried to touch him.

Qin Guan realized that disaster was imminent and handed the balloons to a boy beside him, covering his head and escaping through a gap in the crowd.

When he fixed his wrinkled sweater in the thickets, he saw the crowd form a circle. In the middle of it was the scapegoat, Li Jie.

Li was interested in soft girls, not vigorous ones. He was hurt by the girls’ words.

"Who is this? Where is the handsome senior?"

"No idea! It's like he changed magically."

"Tough luck! Let's go to the club. This is so annoying!"

They even rolled their eyes at poor Li Jie before leaving.

When the chaos was over, Qin Guan ran up to Li Jie and asked him to distribute the balloons in his place. He was too afraid of causing a traffic jam again.

Ye Dong waved at Qin Guan, who was hiding and watching the commotion, and gave him the Mu Lejiang Camping Club leaflets.

Qin Guan understood immediately. He couldn’t serve the public, but he could at least help out his friends.

After taking several turns, he found Mu’s camping club. Compared to the football and basketball clubs, it was a small club.

A few tough-looking men were squatting in a deserted tent, looking like beggars. The tent was so shabby that it looked like a shed for barbarians.

Qin Guan was left speechless by their taste. "Is this the extent of your promotion skills? Couldn’t you take pictures of the places you’ve travelled to?" he tried to suggest.

"Try to find the most beautiful sceneries. Better get some wild animals too. Camping doesn’t equal sleeping to you, does it?"

They were all enlightened. They were good at surviving natural disasters, but bad at advertising.

As the poor guys stared at him, Qin Guan helped them attract freshmen.

He rolled his sleeves up energetically and pulled Mu Lejiang away to hand out leaflets.

"Hello, this is information about our club." The boy already had a pile of leaflets in his hands that could be worth 0.2 yuan at a reclamation depot.

He felt dizzy by the number of clubs and trembled when the senior approached him.

He had a shining smile and gentle hands; the club had to be a good one.

After Qin Guan left, the boy came to himself and read the material. It was a simple introduction titled, "The Camping Club welcomes travel lovers!"

What a simple leaflet! I’ll go, that senior convinced me.

Not long after Qin Guan had left, the members of the camping club welcomed their new members.
