Chapter 147: Our Club Does Not Discriminate by Gender
(Zhang Qiu wanted to lift the blanket to check the condition of his wound, but it was wrapped in layers of gauze, making it impossible to see anything. Based on his feelings, Zhang Qiu thought he felt much better than yesterday. He moved to the edge of the bed, slowly bent down, and cautiously tried to move a bit; it felt okay. Zhang Qiu couldn't help but feel happy; his recovery ability was indeed strong, and getting better so quickly was simply wonderful.
After finding a clean tank top from the wardrobe, Zhang Qiu rushed into the bathroom to wash up. Cold water splashed out as he cupped his hands and splashed some on his face, instantly waking him up. Switching to hot water, he began brushing his teeth, washing his face, and shampooing his hair. After drying off and blow-drying his hair, he threw on a black hoodie and headed to school.
On the way to school, Zhang Qiu had many thoughts. After experiencing the Ancient City Battle, he wondered how everyone else's injuries were. He also thought about whether Zeng Fan would take any actions against him. Most importantly, the school probably already knew about this incident; how would they handle it? As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhang Qiu felt a bit anxious; if he had to go home for reflection, his father would definitely scold him.
Zhang Qiu parked his electric vehicle in front of the school and had just crossed the road when two boys in senior high uniforms ran over and respectfully called out, "Brother Qiu!"
Zhang Qiu was slightly surprised but soon smiled and asked, "How are you guys? Did you recover from your injuries from the Ancient City Battle?"
"I got hit a few times on my arm, but I'm fine now," one boy replied proudly, as if being injured was something to boast about.
Zhang Qiu looked at the other boy, who shyly scratched his head and said, "Brother Qiu, I wasn't injured. I was responsible for ambushing; I kept throwing bricks and stones without anyone getting close to me."
Zhang Qiu patted the boy's shoulder and smiled, "You all did great; keep up the good work."
Zhang Qiu continued laughing with the two boys as they made their way to the teaching building. In the short distance of about two hundred meters from the school gate to the teaching building, Zhang Qiu encountered more than ten members of the Hall Society. After greeting him, they closely followed behind him in a line as they marched toward the Senior High Building. Uninformed students watching from a distance quickly moved aside at this impressive sight.
Zhang Qiu noticed that there were even two girls joining their group. One girl had shoulder-length hair and wore her uniform with the zipper halfway down, revealing a yellow undershirt underneath. However, she wore jeans that were strictly prohibited by the school dress code, giving her a cool appearance.
The other girl had a standard bob haircut and wore her uniform neatly, looking dignified and cute. The two girls held hands and appeared very close. Zhang Qiu watched with interest; given their attire and behavior, he wondered if they might be... After realizing he had never approached girls before, Zhang Qiu waved at them. The cool girl noticed him waving and quickly pulled her companion over to join him.
Zhang Qiu smiled and asked them, "You two, are you part of my club? Who are you with?"
Long-Haired Girl pulled Short-Haired Girl in front of Zhang Qiu, standing obediently, and said, "Boss, we are with you."
"With me?" Zhang Qiu laughed, looking at the long-haired girl. "What do you want to do with me?"
Long-Haired Girl pushed Short-Haired Girl forward and said, "Boss, this is my sister. She wants to join the Hall Society, but she's a bit shy, so I brought her to find you."
"Is that so?" Zhang Qiu smiled and looked at Short-Haired Girl.
"Yes." The short-haired girl replied to Zhang Qiu in a very low voice, only slightly raising her head before quickly lowering it again. This wasn't just shyness; it was extreme shyness.
The long-haired girl added, "My sister is great at everything, except she gets a little scared. Boss, please don't blame her. We heard that the Hall Society was established to protect ordinary students from being bullied, right, Boss?"
Zhang Qiu nodded at the long-haired girl and said, "Yes."
The long-haired girl looked happily at the short-haired girl, who also smiled slightly. Zhang Qiu observed the two; the short-haired girl needed protection to join the club. But what about this long-haired girl? Her outfit didn't seem like someone who needed protection. Zhang Qiu asked, "Are you also here for protection?"
The long-haired girl laughed and said, "I'm here to accompany my sister." Suddenly, she leaned closer to Zhang Qiu, whispering beside her ear, "Boss, actually I'm here to hang out with you."
Zhang Qiu didn't expect the long-haired girl to lean in so suddenly, her body almost pressed against him, with her well-developed chest brushing against his. It was unclear whether the long-haired girl did this intentionally or was unaware of the awkwardness as she remained close to Zhang Qiu. Seeing that Zhang Qiu didn't respond, she leaned in even closer and asked him, "Boss, you won't refuse me, right? I've already called you Boss."
Zhang Qiu noticed someone watching him with a mischievous smile and shot them a glare before stepping back. He then told the long-haired girl, "Sure, as long as you want to join, you're welcome. Our Hall Society does not discriminate based on gender."
"Great!" The Long-Haired Girl happily jumped away and pulled her sister over, introducing, "My name is Taolengman, and this is my sister, Tao Ya."
Zhang Qiu looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked, "Are you two really sisters?"
"Of course! Don't we look alike?" Taolengman blinked at Zhang Qiu.
"Yeah, sure," Zhang Qiu nodded with a smile, but thought to himself, how do they look alike? One is lively and outgoing, while the other is shy and reserved; they are completely different.
"Hehe, Boss, let's go to class now. We'll come find you to hang out when we have time," the Long-Haired Girl said as she pulled her sister away, leaving behind a trail of laughter that echoed in everyone's ears.
"Boss, you've got some luck with the ladies," one of the brothers teased Zhang Qiu with a wink.
"Get out of here with that nonsense. I'm a married man. Hurry up or we'll be late for class," Zhang Qiu dismissed the brothers and headed upstairs himself. Since he had delayed downstairs for a bit, by the time Zhang Qiu entered the classroom, it was almost full. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Gao Zhi, Zhao Pingchuan, and Wang Zhengxiang standing up and shouting in unison, "Boss!"
The shout startled everyone in the class and surprised Zhang Qiu as well. In an instant, all eyes were on Zhang Qiu. The class officer at the podium suddenly stopped writing, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
