413: Chapter 414: Campus Belle’s Item Auction
After dinner at Shen Dongyang’s ho, Song Xiaodong left the Shen Family with Shen Yue.
They got off at the school gate and walked towards the school while Shen Yue explained, “This auction is organized by our school.
The initiative is good.
Everyone contributes so items for the auction and the proceeds will be donated to Hope Primary School.”
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, “That’s a good thing, starting to engage in charitable activities now.”
Shen Yue looked around as if she were a thief, then whispered, “I’ve made my decision.
After I graduate, I’m going to teach in the impoverished mountain areas.”
“What?
You actually have such an idea?” Song Xiaodong imdiately looked at Shen Yue in surprise.
“What’s wrong?
Don’t you support
either?” Shen Yue looked at Song Xiaodong sowhat frantically.
Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched as he said, “I’m just thinking, you’re a girl from such a well-off ho.
How could you think of enduring that kind of hardship?”
Looking straight at Song Xiaodong, Shen Yue said, “It’s precisely because my family is well-off and I’ve never experienced hardship that I feel more pity for those children in the mountains, and I want to help them more.”
Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow and said, “It’s not to discourage you, but there will be many unexpected difficulties if you really go.”
“I know that.
I still have a year, and I will prepare, starting with my physical condition, then understanding local customs, and also the various necessities.
Brother Dongzi, you’ll have to sponsor
when the ti cos.”
“Sponsorship is certainly no problem, I could take care of everything for you,” said Song Xiaodong.
With a sweet smile, Shen Yue looped her arm through Song Xiaodong’s and said, “I knew Brother Dongzi you were the most generous.”
Song Xiaodong smiled and asked, “But will Uncle Shen and Auntie Sun agree to this?”
“I probed their thoughts indirectly a while ago.
My dad didn’t really comnt, but my mom is firmly against it.
Her idea is to have
find a decent, stable job, then marry a man, and live a life like hers.”
Song Xiaodong said, “I guess many parents want their children to live a stable life, especially for a girl.”
“Brother Dongzi, you don’t have children, how can you have such thoughts?”
Song Xiaodong laughed, “I’m just looking at what other people think.
It seems many feel this way.
There are definitely very few parents who really hope their daughters will venture out.”
Shen Yue pouted and said, “Right, don’t tell my parents about this, okay?
If they find out now, they will definitely try to stop , and then my plan will be ruined.
I don’t want to live under their plans forever; I want to have my own life.”
“Alright, I won’t tell them,” Song Xiaodong laughed.
“No, you’re not taking it seriously.
You have to be serious about it,” Shen Yue said, shaking Song Xiaodong’s arm gently.
Song Xiaodong could only straighten his face and say with earnest, “I absolutely won’t tell your parents about Shen Yue sneaking out to teach.”
“Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Shen Yue playfully lifted her chin.
“Okay, okay, liar, liar, pants on fire,” Song Xiaodong could not help but laugh because of Shen Yue’s antics.
Only then did Shen Yue happily link arms with Song Xiaodong and continue walking ahead.
“By the way, what kinds of things are you auctioning off this ti?” Song Xiaodong asked casually.
“What’s being auctioned…
Pfft!” Shen Yue suddenly laughed and said, “What do you think?”
“Old books, old manuscripts, things like that?”
“Nope, that’s not it!”
“Then it must be so small used personal items.”
“You’re getting a bit closer.”
Song Xiaodong’s eyes narrowed suddenly and he said, “It can’t be sothing like auctioning off the school beauty’s…
personal garnts, right?”
“Pfft…” Shen Yue imdiately widened her eyes, then nodded and said, “There actually is such a thing.”
“This… this is quite fun, I’m lucky to have co with you.” Song Xiaodong suddenly found it interesting as well.
He had never experienced college life, but he had heard that college students tend to be very flamboyant and often do things that seem eccentric and sowhat unreasonable to others.
“Brother Dongzi, you don’t actually want those kinds of things, do you?” Shen Yue pouted, looking quite displeased.
With a smile, Song Xiaodong said, “I just said it’s fun, I didn’t say I wanted it.
Though at the ti, I should bid on sothing, right?
That’s how I can do a good deed.”
“You bad egg, I think you just want those items.
But let
tell you, the main things we’re auctioning off this ti are indeed from girls, things like used quilts, pillows, clothes, shoes, and the like, but they’re not necessarily all from the school beauty.”
Song Xiaodong looked Shen Yue up and down and said, “Now I’m curious, Shen Yue, what did you donate for the auction?”
Shen Yue quickly replied, “I just sent over a coat, close-fitting items, I don’t want others to take them away.
Just the thought of it is unbearable.”
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “I see, that’s not very interesting then.
Otherwise, I was thinking of bidding on your items.”
“Are you sure you really want to bid on my items?” Shen Yue pursed her lips and looked at Song Xiaodong.
“Of course, I don’t know anyone else, what would I do with their stuff?” Song Xiaodong said with a smile.
“I see, you make it sound so reasonable,” Shen Yue’s eyes narrowed, then she took Song Xiaodong’s arm and pulled him forward, “Let’s get going then, the auction is about to start.
It’s likely to be very lively today.
Our school’s top five beauties all have items up for auction; it’s sure to drive the guys wild.”
“Top five beauties?
You must be one of them, right?” Song Xiaodong asked.
“I’m barely number five, but the four ahead of
are super beauties, all with different charms.
Brother Dongzi, if you’re interested, I can introduce you to them.”
Song Xiaodong stroked his chin and said, “That actually sounds like a good idea, I’ve never dated a school beauty before.”
“Ah!
Brother Dongzi, you’re so bad, hmph,” Shen Yue pouted, looking quite annoyed.
With a hearty laugh, Song Xiaodong said, “What I just said was wrong.
I’ve already got a school beauty by my side.
How could I say I’ve never dated one?
It looks like I’ve already fulfilled this wish a long ti ago.”
A smile imdiately spread across Shen Yue’s face as she scolded playfully, “That’s more like it; I’ll let you off this ti.”
By this ti, the two of them had reached the front of the auction venue.
Many people there looked towards them, and from the hostile glares in the eyes of the male students, Song Xiaodong knew that Shen Yue’s popularity was very high at the school.
