Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Losing Face Exactly as Said Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Losing Face Exactly as Said Ye Wei’an glanced at the recruitment booth behind the two of them and said, “You guys are also planning to join the Student Union? What a coincidence, so am I.”
Shen Zhaozhao didn’t like the other person, always feeling that she was too scheming. Just the thought of her completely dispelled the last bit of Shen Zhaozhao’s already waning interest in joining any clubs.
She definitely didn’t want to still be facing her often after starting university.
Who knew when she might get outsmarted by her again!
Across from her, Ye Wei’an smiled slightly and continued, “However, I’ve heard that it’s very difficult to get into the Student Union. You need to have enough ability or a special talent. The competition is the fiercest each year. By the way, Zhaozhao, what are your specialties and talents that you’ve listed?”
Everyone knew her greatest skill was doing nothing. If she had to mention a specialty, apart from Olympic Mathematics, she really didn’t have any talents to speak of.
But the Student Union didn’t need someone to participate in Olympic Mathematics competitions. In other words, her specialty was useless for the Student Union application.
On the other hand, the other person was already a somewhat famous violinist.
Not to mention, getting into the Cultural Department would definitely be no problem for her.
In the end, the other person was purposely asking her in front of so many people just to embarrass her.
Or rather, this was a blatant provocation!
Shen Zhaozhao’s competitive spirit was aroused.
She wouldn’t concede without a fight.
Although she had already decided to give up, suddenly she didn’t want to lose to the other person.
She didn’t want to see the other person’s smug face.
It looked like she would have to fight for a spot in the Student Union no matter what.
As they left the gym, Shen Zhaozhao, with her head drooping, said, “Yiyi, do you think I should also sign up for some specialty classes? Maybe learn something like the piano or dancing?” She wanted to fight for her pride, but she also knew her chances of winning were slim.
Sheng Chuyi glanced at her and seriously suggested, “I think you shouldn’t push yourself too hard.” When she was little, Aunt Shu Ran and Uncle Sheng had signed her up for classes, but she hadn’t stuck with any of them.
“What do you mean by that?” Shen Zhaozhao glared at him angrily, “Do you also think I’m useless, that I can’t do anything, and can’t compare to Ye Wei’an?”
“Alright, I was just teasing you!”
“I think you were totally serious!!!”
“Can you stop being embarrassed and let someone finish speaking?” Sheng Chuyi sighed and raised his hand to ruffle her hair, “I think you’re already great the way you are; there’s no need to compare yourself with others. She is her, and you are you. She has her strengths, and you have your own advantages. There’s no need to compare your weaknesses against someone else’s strengths. Your strengths might be just what others lack.”
“So what advantages do you think I have?” Although she knew he was probably just saying it to comfort her, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but ask.
Sheng Chuyi looked into her eyes: “You are genuine, simple, and unpretentious. Even though you occasionally like to be lazy and play smart, you never fail to put in the effort when it matters. Plus, you’re intrinsically kind-hearted, and you treat your friends with sincerity. Although you sometimes like to take charge, you would never abandon a companion. You’re a trustworthy and reliable friend.”
“Is that your idea of a compliment?” Shen Zhaozhao pouted, pleased inside, but showing displeasure on her face.
She was happy because he managed to list so many of her strengths in one breath. She was displeased because, while complimenting her, why did he have to point out her flaws?
Isn’t this just a typical problem with straightforward men?
But at least it proved that he was sincere and wasn’t just saying things to make her happy.
