Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1227 - 810: A Step Closer / Intentions (Two-in-One)

The second Chapter is combined.

----------------

Over a month into the semester, everyone had basically adapted to university life. Once the novelty wore off, some of the more outgoing students started forming various social clubs.

In this era, with not much entertainment around, almost every club that started up quickly filled up with eager members, with no distinction between popular and unpopular ones.

Chuxia wasn’t interested in this at all, so when Lin Mengran, Yang Xiaoli, and a couple of others were chattering about club-related news around her, she just quietly listened without giving any opinions.

However, the others mistook her silence for loneliness, and each time they reached a lively part of the conversation, noticing her expression, they would hastily stop and seemingly unintentionally change the subject.

Chuxia couldn’t explain her real lack of interest to them, so she pretended not to notice their peculiar behavior. But as this happened more frequently, she felt it wasn’t a good way to continue.

It was clear that Lin Mengran, Yang Xiaoli, and Li Xinli were quite interested in this, but out of consideration for her, they felt uncomfortable joining any club. Chuxia couldn’t let her own disinterest stop them from experiencing and participating, so when the Poetry Club was established, and classmates rushed to sign up, Chuxia also pushed Lin Mengran and the others to sign up.

"No, I’m not going..." Lin Mengran shook her head to refuse, "I’m not really interested, sometimes I just mention it as a new topic to tell you about."

Yang Xiaoli quickly added, "Exactly, what’s the point? Many people are writing poems that make no sense, yet act so proud. I can’t stand being around those people."

Li Xinli quickly chimed in, "I don’t like it either, I’ve never enjoyed being in crowds, it’s uncomfortable."

Wu Jingbo, who always seemed indifferent to this, maintained a calm demeanor, "I’m even less interested, we’re medical students, not literature students, why make things hard for ourselves?"

Chuxia could clearly see that Wu Jingbo was genuinely uninterested, but the other three were trying to convince her by convincing themselves. She was moved by their solidarity, but this time she really needed to make things clear.

Fortunately, there were less than ten people left in the classroom, sparsely scattered and sitting far apart. Chuxia lowered her voice, "Have you been thinking that I’m not interested because I’m pregnant and can’t participate?"

Lin Mengran quickly shook her head, "No, no, we know you’re truly not interested, and we genuinely aren’t interested either."

"Big sis..." Chuxia looked at her helplessly, "I’m not just trying to comfort you, I really don’t like it. Even if I weren’t pregnant, I wouldn’t join.

If you truly don’t like it, then fine, but if you do like it and are just not participating because of me, I’d feel very guilty. Friendships should be comfortable, if you keep this up, can we really continue to get along happily?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing a bit of hesitation on their faces, Chuxia continued, "Honesty is precious among friends. I’ve spoken this bluntly, if you still doubt the truthfulness of my words, I’ll be really upset."

"Well..." Hesitating for a moment, Lin Mengran looked at the others, "Are you guys interested?"

Yang Xiaoli nodded, "I want to give it a try."

Li Xinli wore a conflicted expression, "I... I’m fine either way."

"I’m not interested," Wu Jingbo said.

It was obvious from her expression that she was genuinely uninterested, and she had always behaved this way. Chuxia suggested, "Mengran, Xiaoli, Xinli, you guys go sign up, let Jingbo accompany me home." She could go home by herself, but if she did, her friends would definitely not go sign up.

Wu Jingbo reached out to push them, "Don’t worry, with me accompanying the youngest, what’s there to worry about?"

Having said so much, her friends stopped hesitating. Mainly, they were genuinely intrigued by these new things. Whether they’d continue to be interested later didn’t matter, for now, they wanted to try.

Besides, listening to classmates boasting about their nonsensical poetry, they really wanted to join in and show them who really has the right to laugh!

When the others left, Wu Jingbo looked at Chuxia, "Youngest, why do I feel like ever since we came to the Capital City, you and I have grown distant? Aren’t you used to be closer to me than to Xiaoli and Mengran? Did I do something that bothered you?"

"No, no..." Chuxia waved her hands repeatedly, looking at her with exasperation, "What are you thinking about? It’s just because you seem so quiet, so I mostly drag them along. If you like, I’ll drag you along next time."
