People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

Chapter 143 Eagle Language Interest Group

Zhuang Tunan and Lin Dongzhe both liked to read street vendor literature, and the money they earned from selling homework was used to buy books for them.

Zhuang Tunan always reads the cheap literature that Lin Dongzhe has acquired from street vendors first.

Zhuang Tunan also deeply yearned for the kind of love depicted in those stories.

How could Zhuang Tunan be completely unaware of Shan Shan's previous overt and covert advances towards him?

Zhuang Tunan silently observed Shan Shan's unintentional glances of concern and her seemingly casual yet heartfelt greetings.

However, he knew very well that he only treated Shanshan like an ordinary neighbor girl, without any romantic feelings that went beyond friendship.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent, not wanting to respond to Shanshan's feelings, and even less wanting to give her the slightest illusion that the two of them could develop a relationship. He believed that matters of the heart could not be ambiguous and that he had to stick to his own heart.

Today is Saturday.

As usual, Yu Tao carried a stack of books he had borrowed from the library back to his dormitory.

As soon as I entered, I couldn't wait to say to Zhuang Tunan, "Tunan, the senior student from the Urban Planning Department just came to tell us that there will be an English discussion and exchange activity at 7 pm on the school's lawn, which is also known as English Evening! I heard that there will be many English-speaking senior students sharing their learning experiences."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Tunan quickly checked his watch; it was already past five o'clock.

She looked up at Yu Tao and asked, "Yu Tao, have you eaten?"

Yu Tao gently placed the book he was holding on the table: "We haven't eaten yet, let's go together!"

Zhuang Tunan stood up, picked up his clean plaid shirt from the bedside, and put on his blue trousers.

Most of the boys in the dormitory wore cool tank tops and loose shorts, a common sight in the dormitory.

Zhuang Tunan straightened his collar: "Alright, let's go!"

The two picked up their lunchboxes, walked out of the dormitory side by side, and headed straight for the school cafeteria.

Come to the cafeteria.

Yu Tao quickened his pace and stood at the front of the line. He turned around and said, "Tu Nan, you get these bean sprouts. I'll get another vegetable. We can take turns eating them."

Zhuang Tunan casually placed one hand on Yu Tao's shoulder: "No problem!"

The two sat at the dining table, enjoying a simple meal of four ounces of rice and a vegetarian dish.

While chewing his food, Yu Tao seemed to suddenly remember something interesting and picked up a bean sprout from Zhuang Tunan's lunchbox with his chopsticks: "Tunan, you're from Suzhou. Do you know that there's another female classmate from Suzhou in our class?"

Zhuang Tunan slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up at Yu Tao with a teasing expression, and said, "I don't know, you've only been in school for a few days, and you already know where all the girls in your class live? Impressive!"

Yu Tao smiled smugly, leaned closer to Zhuang Tunan mysteriously, and whispered, "I saw this by chance a few days ago when I was helping our teacher organize the students' files. I think her name is Zhang Wanshu. The name sounds quite gentle."

Zhuang Tunan frowned slightly, quickly searching his mind for the name. He was sure it wasn't someone he knew from his school, and thought it was probably someone from No. 10 Middle School, since he didn't know them.

So he waved his hand and said, "Who cares about being a late bloomer or early bloomer? The most important thing now is to eat quickly, because we have to attend the Eagle Language Group's activity tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tao pursed his lips and helplessly stuffed rice into his mouth.

Although the teacher explicitly forbade dating at the beginning of the semester, which young college student doesn't hope to start a sweet romance during this wonderful college time?

Yu Tao looked down at himself and felt a little disappointed. He felt that he was plain-looking and not outstanding in a crowd, so how easy would it be to find a girlfriend?

He glanced at Zhuang Tunan again, looking at his handsome profile and the way he was focused on eating, and felt even more depressed. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: How can God be so unfair? This kid is good-looking and good at studying. How are the rest of us supposed to live?

After finishing their meal, the two went to the pool, washed their lunchboxes, and leisurely returned to their dormitory.

As soon as Zhuang Tunan sat down, he took out a book covered with a book cover from his schoolbag and began to read it with great interest.

There were six people living in the dormitory. At that moment, a head suddenly popped up. It was Wang Fa.

This tall man from the north was about the same height as Zhuang Tunan, around 1.82 meters. However, he had dark skin and at first glance, he really looked like a burly, dark-skinned sports student. In fact, he also studied architecture.

Wang Fa stared curiously at the book in Zhuang Tunan's hand and said casually, "Tunan, what are you looking at? Let me see!"

Zhuang Tunan looked up and glared at him: "I'll lend you this book after I've finished reading it. I went to great lengths to find it outside; there's none at school!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fa's curiosity grew even stronger. Regardless of whether Zhuang Tunan agreed or not, he plopped down next to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and forced himself to watch with him.

After watching for a while, Wang Fa scratched his head: "Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian? Tu Nan, are you reading 'Water Margin'? But this plot doesn't seem quite right."

Zhuang Tunan was engrossed in watching when he suddenly stepped on the brake and then the gas, and the two were about to hit the road. He interrupted them like this and glared at him.

"I'll let you read it after I'm done. Don't stand so close to me, aren't you hot, Wang Fa!"

Just then, Yu Tao nimbly jumped down from the upper bunk, glanced at his watch, and said, "Tu Nan, it's time. We have to hurry up and leave, or we'll be late for the Eagle Language Group's activity."

Zhuang Tunan tossed the book directly into Wang Fa's hands: "I'm going to the Eagle Language Interest Group. You can keep an eye on it for now!"

As he spoke, he and Yu Tao each took a notebook, carefully tucked their pens into their shirt pockets, straightened their clothes, and hurriedly went out.

At this time, it was not completely dark yet, and a faint sunset glow still lingered on the horizon, but the streetlights along the school road had already been turned on early, casting a dim yellow light on the campus paths.

They jogged to the agreed-upon place and found that nearly twenty classmates had already gathered there, chatting quietly in small groups, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

"Hello, students!" At this moment, the student in charge of organizing the activity stood up, looked at his watch, and raised his voice: "It's already seven o'clock, so let's not waste any more time. Today we're going to try a new learning method—role-playing Eagle Language dialogue practice."

As he spoke, he and several classmates began distributing pre-prepared handwritten manuscripts to their classmates.

Zhuang Tunan and Yu Tao were assigned to the same group, and to everyone's surprise, there were two other girls in the same group.

Zhuang Tunan looked up at the two girls, smiled politely, and felt even more excited about the event.

The role he was given in the script was that of a student, and the script for this group activity was mainly about the story of several students going shopping.

It covers everyday scenarios such as asking for directions, bargaining, and selecting goods, aiming to help people better master practical spoken expressions through such situational simulations.
