“What? The first in history?” At this moment, Ouyang Qianxue stood up again, asking excitedly.
“Yes. The last time someone held the presidency of two clubs at once was ten years ago. Back then, she simultaneously led the soccer and track-and-field clubs and was hailed as the ‘Star of Sakura Academy.’ Even ten years later, her story is still fondly spoken of among Sakura Academy students. And now, she has long since become a member of the national team… moreover…” As she spoke, the Go club president’s lips curved slightly upward.
“Being the president of three clubs is far from as simple as one plus one plus one equals three, you know. At Sakura Academy, club management is operated through the Student Club Federation. Its authority is in no way inferior to the student council’s. The federation is made up of the presidents of each club. When it comes to voting, the more members a club has, the more votes it holds. Among the arts clubs, the music club ranks first in size, street dance is third, and Go is fifth. By my estimate, Qianxue, you now control roughly one-third of the total votes across all clubs.”
“In other words, you’re now the most powerful club president in Sakura Academy. And with the added title of campus beauty, it can be said that your influence here may even rival that of Bai Yuxuan!” another club president added.
“Something this important, why didn’t you tell me earlier, Senior?” Ouyang Qianxue said, on the verge of tears.
“Because we were afraid the pressure would be too much for you and you’d refuse to take the position.”
“Then… is it still possible for me to back out now?”
“Too late. You’ve already filled out all three letters of appointment. From this moment on, you are officially the president of all three clubs!” The senior, who had seemed gentle and considerate just a second ago, now appeared in Ouyang Qianxue’s eyes like a horned demon.
“Qianxue, you’re incredible!” Back in the dormitory, Wang Qian excitedly grabbed his shoulders.
“I never imagined you’d become the first triple-club president in Sakura’s history. It hasn’t even been a full semester, and you’ve already claimed two historic firsts for the school. By the time we graduate, who knows how many legends you’ll have created!”
“Wait, two historic firsts?” Ouyang Qianxue asked, puzzled.
“The other one is being elected campus beauty, the first ‘school beauty’ in Sakura Academy’s history who is actually a boy…” Wang Qian whispered quietly in his ear.
“That was out of sheer necessity!” Ouyang Qianxue’s face flushed bright red at a visible speed.
“Really? But lately, when you wear women’s clothes, you seem completely at ease, no hesitation at all. If you ask me, you’ve already gotten used to it. Who knows, after three years, you might not even be able to take them off anymore. Maybe you’ll end up marrying some rich young master like Bai Yuxuan while dressed like that, hahaha!”
“You jerk! You’re the one who should marry a rich guy!”
“I’m already a girl, what’s wrong with marrying a rich guy?”
“You, you!” Ouyang Qianxue pointed at her, too angry to speak.
“Trying to out-argue me? You’re still too green,” Wang Qian said smugly, grinning.
“Fine, just you wait. Finals are coming up soon, right? This time, don’t even think about asking me to tutor you!”
“Hey, I was just joking, don’t get mad!” Having struck a sore spot, Wang Qian immediately backed down. After all, if Qianxue hadn’t helped her last time, she might have failed her exams.
“If you end up needing a retake, you won’t be able to join the school-organized outing!”
“An outing?”
“You didn’t know? After each semester’s final exams, Sakura Academy organizes a trip for students as a reward. But if you fail any subjects, you’ll have to stay behind during summer break for remedial classes. Please, Qianxue, while everyone else is happily out on the trip, your poor roommate would be stuck alone at school in the scorching heat, studying by herself. Can you really bear that?”
Wang Qian immediately put on a pitiful expression.
“Sigh… fine. I’ll help you one more time. But studying is your own responsibility, you can’t always rely on me.” Watching how quickly Wang Qian changed her demeanor, Ouyang Qianxue felt rather helpless. Still, Wang Qian had helped him quite a bit before, so returning the favor was only fair.
“Hehe, thanks! But what you said earlier isn’t quite right, girls relying on boys is perfectly natural.”
“Hmph, now you suddenly remember that I’m a boy!”
“Well, I’ve never forgotten. Otherwise, if I thought there was such a cute and outstanding girl beside me, I’d probably shut myself off from the world!”
“Damn it! Who are you calling cute?!”
At this moment, Ouyang Qianxue had no idea that his appointment as the first triple-club president in Sakura Academy’s history had already spread like a bombshell. That very night, it caused a sensation across campus forums and message boards. The news spread from one student to ten, from ten to a hundred, within less than a day, the entire school knew about it.
The next morning, as he headed to school with Wang Qian,
“Good morning, Lady Qianxue!” A girl ran up to greet him.
“Good morning… but why are you calling me ‘Lady’?”
“Because right now, Lady Qianxue is like a star at Sakura Academy, your grades rival student council president Bai Yuxuan, your talents completely outshine the current idol Ning Caiwei, and now you’re the president of three clubs. Calling you by name feels a bit disrespectful.”
“But I’m just an ordinary student like everyone else. You can call me a classmate, or just use my name.”
“Then, Classmate Ouyang… could I take a photo with you?”
“Uh… sure.” And so, Ouyang Qianxue took a photo with her.
“This is amazing, I got a picture with Lady Qianxue!” Afterward, the girl said with complete satisfaction. Hearing this, the surrounding students all turned to look at him.
“Hey, isn’t that the campus beauty?”
“Yeah! Let’s hurry and ask for a photo too!”
Before long, Ouyang Qianxue and Wang Qian were surrounded by a crowd.
At lunchtime, Qianxue, Wang Qian, and Ning Caiwei went up to the rooftop to eat together.
“This is all your fault, I was late this morning and got scolded by the teacher! It was clearly because of you, but your homeroom teacher defended you just because your grades are excellent, saying something like ‘a top student like Ouyang has many club responsibilities, so even missing class is understandable,’” Wang Qian complained.
“Don’t blame Qianxue too much, her popularity isn’t something she can control. But I’m more curious, Qianxue, with your current fame, have you considered debuting as an idol with me? We could definitely become a pair of twin stars,” Ning Caiwei said, linking her arm with his.
“I think I’ll pass on being an idol.”
“What, are you worried I’d hold you back? Don’t worry, Qianxue, I’ll definitely work hard…” As she spoke, Ning Caiwei leaned closer against him. Seeing this, Wang Qian quickly pulled them apart.
“You, why does Qianxue have to go be an idol with you? Her academics are excellent too!”
“I just think it would be a waste of her talent and looks not to become an idol. Besides, what does it have to do with you if I invite her?”
And just like that, Wang Qian and Ning Caiwei began arguing.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qianxue paid them no mind. With a pensive expression, he gazed out over Sakura Academy’s campus from the school building.
“There are still two years left… I wonder if I’ll be able to get through them safely.”
