Chapter 600 Volunteers
“The Hanfu Club is having an event today, let’s go check it out.” Li Zhuangsheng suggested in the cafeteria.

“Didn’t you dislike the Hanfu Club, saying that it’s full of cosplay enthusiasts?” Li Xiuyu glanced sideways.

“Your evaluation is too much. They are promoting traditional culture. The Chinese revival should start with clothing, don’t you understand?”

“You also said that they only talk nicely, but in the end they don’t read the Book of Songs and Rites of Zhou, nor the Hundred Schools of Thought. Even Shen Congwen’s “A Study of Ancient Chinese Costumes” is not really read by many people.”

“You’re exaggerating! I haven’t even finished reading “A Study of Ancient Chinese Costumes”!” Li Zhuangsheng gave a thumbs up seriously, “Except for professionals, who can read that thing from beginning to end?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t like this kind of behavior that goes beyond words?”

“If you keep doing this, I will sue you for defamation. I think you are just prejudiced against others! What’s wrong with wearing Hanfu? At least it’s better than wearing JK Lolita!” Li Zhuangsheng said angrily, “Besides, they are holding an event today to promote Chinese culture! Can you please stop looking at them with tinted glasses?”

Damn it, you actually used my magic against me! I said so much, but you only remembered this one sentence. I also said that Apple’s profit margin is so high, and it’s definitely a tax on IQ. You didn’t just accept the mobile phone and tablet with a smile!

Come to think of it, it seems that I have also said this to Zhu Zhixue.

During a casual chat one time, the two talked about their childhood experiences, then Princess Pearl, then Qiong Yao, and finally mentioned “Give me a wooden peach, and I will repay you with Qiong Yao.”

Zhu Zhixue kissed Li Zhuangsheng’s face and made promises to him, saying that she would buy him the latest iPhone when she made money in the future. But Li Zhuangsheng complained that he didn’t like Apple, and that it was just a waste of money to sell it at such a high price. There were also a bunch of idiots who took it as a belief and thought they were superior because they used Apple. It would be great if he had the money to buy a computer that could play games!
After all, he is a loser, and his nature is to save and spend, especially when it comes to himself, he pays special attention to cost-effectiveness, and focuses on convenience and practicality. It’s not like there are no alternatives, domestic Android phones are also very easy to use, and there is no need to buy Apple. Will there still be thousands of mobile phones using 60hz and 20W fast charging in another ten years?
Thinking about it this way, is it a slap in the face for me to buy an iPad Pro for Zhu Zhixue? I hope she doesn’t remember it.

Li Xiuyu sneered: “Why don’t you just say you want to go see Zhu Zhixue?”

Li Zhuangsheng turned his face away: “First of all, I just want to support traditional culture.”

“Haha, you lick the dog!”

“You are slandering me again! Why don’t you just say I am your bootlicker!”

“I didn’t ask you to lick me unilaterally. We are interacting with each other, okay?”

“Fuck you… Why didn’t you apply to the police academy? You’ll definitely be able to find your place in the Chongqing Police Department after graduation!”

Besides, how do you know Zhu Zhixue didn’t lick him? Do you think everyone is you? You only know how to unilaterally bully your brother!

After a while of making a fuss, the two went to watch the New Year’s Day activities of the Hanfu Society. The Hanfu Society set up a stage in an open space. Since it hadn’t started yet, there were only four or five people in the audience. The two had nothing to do, so they stood in the audience and waited.

“Are you Li Zhuangsheng?” Suddenly, a strange female voice sounded in my ears.

“Oh, yes, may I ask who you are…”

“Zhu Zhixue asked me to give this to you, and asked you to help her throw it away.” The girl stuffed a box into Li Zhuangsheng’s hand, and couldn’t help but look at Li Xiuyu a few times before turning and leaving.

“What is this, a medical waist belt?” Li Xiuyu glanced at the box, “Is your waist in bad condition?”

Li Zhuangsheng grinned and said, “Because they know I sit for a long time every day to write novels, they gave me this. Look at you again, you don’t care at all!”

Li Xiuyu looked at Li Zhuangsheng’s head, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: “You mean you only wrote novels for two hours a day and broke your kidneys, right?”

Li Zhuangsheng said nothing and opened the box. The waist belt packaging had been opened and a small pig head pattern was drawn on the waist belt. I think Zhu Zhixue had bought it in advance and just found a reason to give it to him today. The Hanfu Club’s activities lasted for three hours. The opening was a fashion show, or a display of Hanfu and etiquette from various dynasties, followed by explanations of Hanfu and interactive experiences. Zhu Zhixue was one of the hosts on the stage. Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu watched until the end of the event before leaving.

It was the day before New Year’s Day. Because Li Minghua was working in another city and the winter vacation was approaching, Li Zhuangsheng was too lazy to go home, so he and Li Xiuyu decided to visit the Confucius Temple in Nanjing. Heard that the Confucius Temple would be fun these days, and Li Xiuyu even teased Li Zhuangsheng to worship Confucius more, maybe it would save his bad final grades for the whole semester.

But just as the two of them had agreed on the itinerary, Hu Mengdie suddenly called Li Xiuyu.

“Hey, what’s wrong with Hu Mengdie?” Li Xiuyu asked casually.

“You’re not going back on New Year’s Day, right? Are you free tomorrow?”

“what’s wrong?”

“It’s like this…” Hu Mengdie said a little embarrassedly, “Because our volunteer club is going to visit the elderly in the nursing home tomorrow, but several of those who were originally going to go have gone home, so we may not have enough manpower. I would like to ask, if you are free, are you interested in helping out?”

“Sorry, I won’t go.” Li Xiuyu refused.

“I’ll go!” Li Zhuangsheng said in a loud voice, gently snatching Li Xiuyu’s phone, “Hu Mengdie, huh? You guys want to go to the nursing home? Sure, count me in! Although I don’t know what to do, just do whatever you need me to do!”

After talking to Hu Mengdie, Li Zhuangsheng hung up the phone.

“I knew it…” Li Xiu Yu looked at Li Zhuangsheng speechlessly and sighed softly.

“We can go to Confucius Temple anytime. Let’s go to volunteer together tomorrow!” Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

“No!” Li Xiuyu refused, “If you want to go, go by yourself!”

“Don’t be such a lazy dog, this is very meaningful!”

“I don’t want to go anyway, you go by yourself, I’ll just lie down at home!”

Li Xiuyu refused for three reasons. First, she was indeed a lazy person who was afraid of trouble. Second, she had no interest in volunteer activities. She was indifferent by nature. Third, and most importantly, she was angry that Li Zhuangsheng postponed the date they had scheduled because he had to do volunteer work.

Although she could understand Li Zhuangsheng, after all, he was such a pushover, she still felt unhappy. And this was such a good reason to visit the elderly in the nursing home, even she couldn’t stop him.

Seeing Li Xiuyu getting angry, Li Zhuangsheng grinned helplessly: “Okay, okay, we’ll postpone our visit to Confucius Temple for a day, it’s the same!”

“Oh…” Li Xiuyu had a blank expression on his face. He was unhappy inside, but he finally smiled helplessly. “Forget it. If I really don’t let you go, you’ll probably be miserable. Just go and do the volunteer work. It will be a good deed for me.”

“Don’t worry, all my good deeds will be given to you!” Li Zhuangsheng didn’t know what he meant and just thought it was a joke.

Li Xiuyu lowered his eyes and smiled: “Well, then you should accumulate more, and in the future you can bring me from the eighteenth level of hell to the seventeenth level.”

Li Zhuangsheng couldn’t help but pat her lightly: “Don’t talk nonsense… And don’t worry, your brother has done enough good deeds. Even if you do something evil in the future and fall into the eighteenth level of hell, I can pull you out!”
