Chapter 32 Recruitment (1)

Zhou Yihan also came back to his senses and quickly ran over to pick up the skateboard before walking back.
"Arui said he fixed it, let's go, we'll go get your car." Tang Qingmo's smile on his face was normal, showing no signs of the previous abnormality.
"So fast, let's go quickly." Zhou Yihan was surprised and happy.
They paid the bill, said thank you, and took the car.
As Tang Qingmo was about to take the car, Zhou Yihan quickly dodged and playfully said,
"You have been giving me rides all this time, so as a way to repay you, I have decided to give you a ride back."
"Are you sure? I do have some weight, you know." Tang Qingmo replied, feeling speechless, and quickly reminded her.
"No problem! I think I can do it!" The little girl exuded confidence, her eyes shining.
"Alright, I will accept your repayment then." Tang Qing helplessly rubbed his forehead and got on the backseat.
After sitting on the back seat of someone else's bicycle for the first time, and especially on this petite women's bicycle, Tang Qingmo felt a bit uncomfortable. She felt that her long legs had nowhere to rest, as she helplessly hugged her pitiful self.
As expected, Yuan Yihan rode steadily, but soon he became overwhelmed. He felt that Tang Qingmo seemed to be getting heavier... Tang Qingmo also noticed the slowing speed and chuckled.
"Okay okay, I have received your gratitude. In order for us to go back and have a warm meal, let me drive you."
These words made Zhou Yihan blush a little, but she admitted that she couldn't go on anymore. She stopped the car and exchanged seats with Tang Qingmo.
Both people who changed positions felt relaxed in body and mind. One of them can finally rest for a while, while the other can finally stretch his long legs. Zhou Yihan gently hugged his waist, squinted his eyes, and enjoyed the gentle breeze brushing his face, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Tang Qingmo looked at her delicate hands and smiled happily.
For passersby on the roadside, this pair of incredibly good-looking men and women were like a moving landscape. Some girls even took a picture of this scene and enthusiastically shared it with their friends as "beautiful scenery."
They bid farewell and went home separately. After finishing his meal and washing up, Zhou Yihan habitually walked into his small study and opened the books on the table that he hadn't finished reading yet, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
What's wrong with me? Zhou Yihan closed the book, feeling a bit puzzled and confused. She closed her eyes, and the first image that came to her mind was the figure of Tang Qingmo. He walked in front of her with a tall and imposing figure. His eyes looked at her with a gentle spring breeze, his sincere words of promise, and the warmth she felt in his palms.
Zhou Yihan suddenly felt very hot, her face was flushed, and her heart rate was a bit fast. She immediately stood up and paced back and forth, apparently trying to calm herself down, but it was obvious that it didn't work at all.
At this moment, Aunt Liu walked in carrying a glass of milk and looked at Zhou Yihan with surprise. It was the first time she had seen Zhou Yihan looking so uneasy. She hurriedly put down the milk and approached Zhou Yihan, asking in a worried tone,
"What's wrong, Miss? Are you having any trouble?"
"No, no, I just feel a bit hot." Zhou Yihan quickly waved her hand.
"Hot? But the heater is not on." Aunt Liu said, puzzled, carefully observing Zhou Yihan, her cheeks blushing, her eyes watery, and a hint of remorse in her expression. It seemed that the girl was not hot, but..."
Aunt Liu asked tentatively, "Miss, who accompanied you to fix the car today?"
"Ah? Tang... Tang Qingmo." For some reason, Zhou Yihan suddenly felt shy when she said Tang Qingmo's name.
When Aunt Liu heard this name, she immediately thought of the handsome and steady young man from the neighbor's house, who looked sunny and calm. She smiled slightly and said,
"Miss, did you have fun today?"
"Happy!" Almost without thinking, Zhou Yihan answered with a sparkle in her eyes.
"It seems like you made a good friend, Miss. When will you invite him to come to our house?"
Aunt Liu smiled kindly and Zhou Yihan didn't think much about it, readily agreeing.
As Aunt Liu walked out the door, she felt somewhat relieved. The child she had raised since childhood was also blossoming with youth. Although according to reason, the Zhou family and the neighbor's family seemed to be a mismatch in social status, Yihan shouldn't be forced into a arranged marriage, after all, she's just... Aunt Liu quickly shook her head, no longer thinking too much. The children are still young, it's too early to think about these things.
Tang Jia, Tang Qingmo was sitting at the table, pondering the message that Xiao Wang had just sent. In Chen Siping's life resume, there was not even a trace of a relationship with Zhou Yihan. So why did he look at her with that kind of gaze? Could it be that Zhou Yihan looks like someone he knows? Tang Qingmo was thinking about whether he could send someone to ask Chen Siping face to face. But then he remembered his relationship with the Xiao family and his face darkened, so he decided to give up.
The next day, Jingyun Middle School.
Today is a special day, with the collective recruitment of study clubs and student union. The recruitment venue is bustling with people. Zhou Yihan and Xiao Qingyu walk through the crowd together. Xiao Qingyu is participating in such a large event for the first time, so she nervously tightens her grip on Zhou Yihan's arm.
Feeling the nervousness in Xia Qingyu, Zhou Yihan walked beside her, careful to protect her, while turning his head to talk to her, diverting her attention.
"Xia Yu, look, there are so many clubs. Which one do you want to join?"
“I…”
"Xiaoyu, look, the art club is here! Xiaoyu, you're so talented, you can join this club." Zhou Yihan looked at her excitedly, but saw some hesitation on her companion's face. She quickly added,
“你放心，我肯定会跟你一起去的，我会陪着你的。”
肖清语感动的看着她，又有些纠结，
“那...哥哥的滑板社怎么办？”
"Um..." Almost forgot what Tang Qingmo said, Zhou Yihan thought for a moment, but still decided to reassure An Xiaoyu, "It's alright, I won't join the skateboard society, but I can learn skateboarding from your brother, right?"
"Hmm! You're so smart, Xiao Yi." Xiao Qingyu looked at her with bright eyes, her cute look adorable. Without thinking, Zhou Yihan reached out and pinched her cheeks.
Caught off guard by her friend's attack, Xiao Qingyu also forgot about the surroundings and reached out to pinch Zhou Yihan's face. They both laughed at each other's childish behavior.
"Xiaoyu! Over here." Suddenly, a familiar voice came, and the two turned their heads to see Tang Qingmo waving at them not far away. They quickly walked over.
"What are you two doing there? Why don't you come and find your brother?" Tang Qingmo looked at the two girls with a smile in her eyes.
"We just came to take a look around and get familiar with the venue for the first time, just for fun," Zhou Yihan replied playfully.
"Alright, let's fill out the registration forms first," Tang Qingmo handed them two registration forms, but noticed hesitation on their faces.
