Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1661 - 1658: One Embarrassment After Another

"I’ve gotten used to being laid-back; joining a club would just be holding others back, wouldn’t it?" Lin Tian said nonchalantly. Up until now, he was still the honorary president of the high school English association, but he hardly ever participated in the association’s activities.

"Lin Tian, I’m afraid you won’t think like this for long. If Xuanxuan shows up at the club recruitment day, it might cause a sensation. Are you really okay with letting her go alone?" He Xiaofei said with a mischievous smile.

Lin Tian glanced at Xiao Manxuan, who innocently blinked her big eyes. "The advisor of the Guqin Society is good friends with our class teacher. They found me through her and invited me to join the Guqin Society."

"Alright, if the class teacher personally stepped in, it seems you can’t refuse." Lin Tian sighed helplessly. The little girl showed off just once, and she was already so famous.

"Oh? This student is Xiao Manxuan? The freshman who plays the guqin?" Ning Wenbin only just realized it was Xiao Manxuan, and he looked surprised, though he didn’t doubt it was true.

"What? You’re in the Guqin Society?" Lin Tian was about to ignore him, but became curious again when he said that.

Ning Wenbin quickly waved his hands and explained, "How could I join the Guqin Society? Such a high-level art is not something a commoner like me can participate in; I can’t even play the guitar. But Xiao’s guqin performance at the welcome party really caused a campus-wide sensation."

"They say she should’ve won first place with her skills, but unfortunately, they rigged the numbers to save face for that so-called celebrity, bringing that kind of television contest culture into our school. It’s infuriating!" Ning Wenbin was so indignant that he nearly slammed the table.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but chuckle at Ning Wenbin’s indignation, finding himself with a better impression of this handsome sophomore. It wasn’t because he defended Xiao Manxuan, but because his personality was straightforward, even if he sometimes acted a bit foolishly.

"Looks like I really should check out the club recruitment, huh?" Lin Tian smiled, casually.

"Even if you don’t go, someone will come looking for you. Your fame is even greater than Xiao Manxuan’s, particularly after that rock climbing video went viral. Your reputation might even threaten the top spot on the campus popularity chart." He Xiaofei teased, smiling meaningfully.

Hearing He Xiaofei mention the top spot on the campus popularity chart, Ning Wenbin’s expression turned peculiar. When he heard Lin Tian might threaten the top spot, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Which rock climbing are you talking about?"

Upon his question, He Xiaofei and Mu Binglan looked at him, surprised, and asked, "Don’t you visit the campus forum?"

"Hold on a moment..." Ning Wenbin waved his hand and actually took out his phone to browse the campus forum, leaving everyone puzzled. What was this guy up to if he cared about Lin Tian’s fame?

"Damn!"

Just as everyone was confused, Ning Wenbin suddenly shouted, standing up and startling everyone. The whole class looked at him.

"Damn, damn, Lin Tian, is that really you in the video?" Ning Wenbin shouted, not caring about the eyes on him in the room.

Lin Tian scratched his forehead, feeling a bit resigned about his overreaction. "Yes, that’s me."

"Who was the person competing with you?" Ning Wenbin continued to ask loudly.

Many people simultaneously turned to look at Zhao Weitao. These people had all seen the rock climbing competition video. Ning Wenbin followed everyone’s gaze and started sizing up Zhao Weitao, who was frowning, sensing a bad premonition. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Then the bad premonition came true. Ning Wenbin suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Damn, I remember now. You’re the one who raced against Lin Tian during the military training, right? Called Zhao Weitao? Man, what’s your problem, always challenging Brother Lin Tian and still losing face?"

Ning Wenbin spoke bluntly, not giving Zhao Weitao any face. Zhao Weitao’s expression shifted awkwardly and grimly, his expression changing rapidly, making many classmates laugh secretly.

Zhao Weitao shot a venomous glare at Ning Wenbin, dropped his book onto the desk, then got up, preparing to leave the classroom, already too embarrassed to stay.

But just as he stood up, the teacher walked in. The teacher was a middle-aged man, but his hair was already graying, dressed in simple clothes.

Upon entering, he saw Zhao Weitao stand up and was surprised, then said, "You don’t need to stand for my class; please have a seat."

The line ’you don’t need to stand, please sit down’ had everyone laughing, while Zhao Weitao’s face was awkward, as if a murder of crows flew over his head.

Ning Wenbin was ready to laugh gleefully at Zhao Weitao’s embarrassment when the teacher gestured at him too, saying, "And that student, also sit down. You don’t need to stand either."

"Hmm, this student looks familiar. Have you taken my class before?" The teacher was about to start class but suddenly scrutinized Ning Wenbin again.

Ning Wenbin answered loudly, "Reporting to Mr. Gao, I’m Ning Wenbin, a second-year student. I took your course in the first year."

"Oh, I remember now, you’re the one who failed the course." The teacher was also blunt, making everyone laugh. But he quickly added, "I recall your assignments and quizzes were quite good. Why did you fail?"

"I had something that day and missed the exam," Ning Wenbin scratched his head, awkwardly.

The teacher nodded and didn’t say more, signaling him to sit down, and then began the class. Lin Tian only heard Ning Wenbin mutter behind him, "My reputation, this matter must never reach the goddess school beauty."

Xiao Manxuan clearly heard it too and exchanged a smile with Lin Tian, both finding this sophomore quite amusing. They wondered if such a silly guy could appeal to the first school beauty goddess.

Under the teacher’s announcement, the advanced math class began, marking the start of the first course for the freshmen. Even though everyone was a high-achiever who got into a prestigious university, many frowned facing the advanced mathematics course.

High school math primarily focused on passing exams, but university-level math involved more profound aspects. High-scoring high school students couldn’t claim to have an easy time learning advanced math. It served as a warning that university isn’t as light as imagined.

The first few days of classes after military training quickly ushered students into their university roles. University courses were harder, but life was also more exciting, like club activities. While the weekend’s club recruitment hadn’t even started, flyers were already distributed to students.

As Lin Tian walked, he was handed several flyers. He still remembered how after advanced math class, Ning Wenbin urged him to join a club again.

"This Ning Wenbin is so odd. Why is he pushing you to join a club?" Xiao Manxuan was very puzzled.
