You Boys Play Games Very Well

Chapter 38
When Shan Zhu delivered the meat pie in the morning, he also brought a bunch of coupons. He asked Ling Meng and his roommate to distribute them in their department.

“What’s this?”

“At this weekend’s cultural festival, we rented a booth to sell mango lao1. Please come and play with your classmates.”

The cultural festival, Lunar New Year, the sports meet, and Christmas Eve, collectively referred to as the four major festivals of North Hebei University City; these large-scale celebration gatherings were held every year in the central plaza.

At this time last year, Ling Meng’s class made a haunted house and Ling Meng was assigned to act as a ghost. He had thought he was clearly very scary after putting on his makeup, but when the girls saw him, they cried out and shouted “meng!”. They had even wanted to take a group photo with him in the dark, grievously wounding Ling Meng’s self-respect.

This year, Ling Meng said he’d act as anything but a ghost.

After class ended at noon, Ling Meng, who was rushing to the canteen, was stopped by the department’s flower.

“Ling Meng, do you have free time this weekend?”

Ling Meng: “o///_////o I d-do, ah.”

“The girls in our class intend to sell lemon ice at the cultural festival. If you’re free, can you come over and help?”

“Ah?” Ling Meng was a little confused. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Because you are adorable, ah, we all feel that if you are there, maybe you’ll be able to solicit sales from a lot of girls.”

“I’m not adorable. I-I’m super fierce.”

The department’s flower choked back a laugh: “The oh-so-fierce Classmate Ling Meng, would you please be willing?”
