“I’ll scan yours,”

Lin Zichen opened WeChat and selected Scan.

The girl with twin ponytails excitedly opened her own WeChat profile, displaying the QR code for him.

Shen Qinghan watched quietly from the side, pursing her lips without speaking, feeling somewhat downhearted.

She knew that Lin Zichen was trying to diffuse the awkward situation for her, which made her feel even more useless.

She couldn’t even muster the words to speak about her middle school exam scores.

Just a useless burden.

After adding the girl with twin ponytails, Lin Zichen turned to his deskmate and said,

“He Yu, let’s add each other on WeChat as well.”

His deskmate was a boy with a buzz cut, a robust frame, and bright, spirited eyes.

He Yu took out his phone, opened his WeChat profile, and placed the QR code in front of Lin Zichen, saying, “You scan me.”

After adding each other as friends, Lin Zichen created a WeChat group and added Shen Qinghan, He Yu, and the girl with the twin ponytails, Li Chuxin, into it.

Then, smiling at the three of them, he said,

“Based on our seating arrangement, it looks like we’ll be in the same group from now on. I just made a group and added everyone.”

He Yu gave a smile and said, “Cool, that’s proactive.”

Li Chuxin, looking at the WeChat group, suggested, “Then let’s give our group a name. How about the Dawnbreak Group? The ‘dawnbreak’ from the break of dawn.”

The Broken Group?

Lin Zichen felt there was something odd about the name.

However, the other two didn’t seem to think of the homophone and both said the group name was pretty good.

He Yu was simply indifferent, thinking the group name didn’t really matter.

And Shen Qinghan was merely tentative in front of strangers, agreeing with whatever was said.

“Zi Chen, what about you?”

Li Chuxin asked Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen thought the group name was a bit funny, but seeing that nobody else had any objections, he nodded and said, “I think it’s good too.”

“Since everyone agrees, then our group will be called the Dawnbreak Group from now on,” Li Chuxin said as she changed the WeChat group chat name to the two characters for “dawnbreak.”

[You have successfully created a four-person group, meeting the criteria for multiple people cooperating to complete a task]

[Cumulative completed event count: 2/1000]

This works?

Reading the two lines of text that appeared out of nowhere, Lin Zichen was slightly surprised.

It seems that the achievement task for multiple people cooperating to complete something wasn’t too difficult; it could be accomplished without putting in much effort.

After all, even creating a four-person group had been enough to progress the achievement task.

So cleaning the blackboard together, sweeping the floor together, or taking out the garbage together would definitely advance the progress as well.

One could say that for this achievement task, all you need is a hand.

In the time that followed,

Apart from Lin Zichen, who had already added the others on WeChat, the remaining three started to add each other as well.

Then, led by He Yu, everyone started checking each other’s backgrounds.

After chatting for a while, they learned the following:

He Yu wasn’t a local from Shanhai City but from the neighboring Nanguan City, where his family had been running martial arts studios for generations, making him the scion of a Martial Arts Family.

The reason he came to Shanhai City for high school was that his family was planning to expand their market here, and his parents were in charge of this project. To facilitate this project, his parents had moved to Shanhai City to settle, and as an only child, he had no choice but to follow them.

“He Yu, if your family has been running martial arts studios for generations, then your martial arts skills must be really strong,” Li Chuxin speculated.

Hey, this was exactly the comment he had been waiting for!

He Yu felt delighted inside, but he maintained a calm and breezy expression, saying, “Actually, it’s just so-so, just good enough not to disgrace my family. I got lucky and managed to secure the eighth place in Nanguan City’s youth martial arts competition last year.”

“Wow, eighth in the whole city, He Yu, you’re really amazing!” Li Chuxin looked at him with admiration.

“So impressive,” Shen Qinghan joined in the admiration, but she still thought Lin Zichen was the most formidable.

Lin Zichen also gave his support, “I didn’t expect we had a martial arts master in our group. So, in future martial arts classes, if we come across anything we don’t understand, we’ll have to ask you for advice.”

“No problem, leave it to me!” He Yu enthusiastically slapped his chest and agreed.

Having all three group members praise him like this made him feel ecstatic.

Especially Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin, the two beautiful girls looking at him with admiration made him feel so thrilled he couldn’t get enough.

After basking in the moment, he turned to them and asked, “By the way, what do your families do?”

Li Chuxin replied, “My family runs a clothing store. We have several branches in the district.”

Upon hearing this, He Yu gave his own compliment, “Wow, looks like we have a little rich girl here, no wonder you’re always decked out in branded clothes, so envious.”

Li Chuxin laughed and waved her hand dismissively, “Oh, stop teasing me, Big Young Master He. Your family’s martial arts studios have expanded to other cities. If anything, I should be envious of you.”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, asking curiously, “Zi Chen, Qinghan, what do your families do?”

Shen Qinghan said a bit shyly, “Both my parents are high school teachers, teaching cultural subjects.”

“Being a teacher is great, not only stable income but also respected, you’re a child born into a scholarly family!” He Yu complimented skillfully, practicing reciprocation.

Li Chuxin had a sudden realization, “No wonder you’re so good in cultural subjects, your parents are both teachers.”

After that, she turned to Lin Zichen and asked, “Zi Chen, what about you?”

Lin Zichen said calmly, “My parents are freelancers, they write web novels at home.”

“No way, they’re novel writers!” He Yu was quite surprised and then asked curiously, “I love reading novels in my spare time. What novels do your parents write? I’ll search for them and take a look.”

Lin Zichen smiled and said, “I’ll send the titles in the group chat, so you guys can check them out.”

And so, he sent the titles into the group chat.

Being his childhood friend, Shen Qinghan had already read all of these books.

She even volunteered as his naval force, creating tons of reader accounts to flood the comment sections of the books with high praises like “Speed up the updates, I can’t sleep at night”, “Super good read, can’t stop looking away”, and “The writing is so good in this book, the plot is exhilarating.”

He Yu and Li Chuxin, driven by their curiosity, opened the group chat to check the titles, and then started searching for them online.

Shortly after looking up the books, He Yu, true to form, praised, “Nicely done, the titles and synopses are all very enticing, I’ll have to give them a read tonight.”

Li Chuxin, surprised, mentioned, “Why are all of these male-oriented novels? Doesn’t your mom write female-oriented novels?”

Lin Zichen explained with a smile, “My mom used to write for the female audience, but for some reasons, she later switched to writing male-oriented novels, and that’s how she met my dad, and then they had me.”

“Wow, that sounds like such a fateful encounter,” Li Chuxin said with a look of envy, thinking how wonderful it would be to meet her other half similarly in the future, feeling exceedingly sweet about it.

PS: Happy New Year, everyone, I’m going to try and see if I can add another chapter!
