After Cai Ying finished sharing about the cooking club, Ruoxi began talking about her experience in the hip-hop research club. She spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, saying, "Do you know that super popular reality show, 'Rap King of the Streets'? Since that show became popular, our school's hip-hop research club suddenly had a lot more people wanting to learn rap."
Jingxuan asked with interest, "Isn't that a good thing? More people are interested in rap now."
Ruoxi rolled her eyes, feeling a bit agitated. "But they are just following the trend! They don't understand what real rap is. They can't catch the rhythm or write good lyrics; all they do is keep saying 'gang gang' or fill their mouths with profanity and vulgar content. Our group, Cuigu, used to focus on rhyme and the essence of words, and we were known as the 'Hip-Hop Poetry Society.' Now, it feels like so many people are just trying to get in on it without truly understanding the spirit of hip-hop."
Xiao Ri interjected, "That's quite troublesome. True art requires time and effort to understand and create."
Cai Ying Nodding in agreement, "Hmm, every art form has its depth and meaning, it's not something that can be learned easily."
Jingxuan senses Ruoxi's disappointment and dissatisfaction, and softly comforts her, "Perhaps time will naturally weed out those who are just following the trend, leaving behind those who truly love hip-hop."
Ruoxi continued to discuss the current situation of the Hi-Research Society, expressing her emotions with respect to the true hip-hop culture and disappointment towards some members who merely follow the trend.
"The true hip-hop has a soul," Ruoxi said, "It's not just about rhythm and rhyme, but a way of expressing oneself and criticizing society. Many newcomers nowadays only want to chase the trend without understanding the culture behind it."
Xiao Ri nodded, indicating understanding: "I think this is a problem that many art forms face. People are easily attracted by surface glamour, but they overlook the deeper artistic value."
Cai Ying interjected softly, "Everyone has a different understanding of art, perhaps some people will slowly come to appreciate the true spirit of hip-hop."
Jingxuan smiled and said to Ruoxi: "Your love and understanding of hip-hop are truly profound. Maybe you can try to guide the new members to have a deeper understanding of the essence of hip-hop."
Ruoxi replied with a bitter smile: "I will try. It just feels like I'm fighting against the wind sometimes."
During a small gathering in the dormitory, the atmosphere gradually turned to the classmates' daily complaints. Cai Ying With a hint of weariness and dissatisfaction, she began to share her experience in the school's literary award team.
"Hey, didn't I join the team responsible for organizing the school's literary award?" Cai Ying began, with a hint of helplessness in her voice. "We have meetings every week, but it seems like there's not much substantial content to discuss."
Jingxuan expressed concern and understanding: "Yes, I remember you mentioned that. So, what are you responsible for now?"
Cai Ying sighed, "I am mainly responsible for inviting the judges, but they keep refusing, and I don't know what to do. Every time, I have to keep writing invitation letters, it's really annoying."
Xiao Ri said in surprise, "Wow, is the literary award really that difficult to handle?"
Cai Ying continued somewhat helplessly, "Yeah, last time they even made us post posters everywhere, it was really a hassle. But what really gives me a headache is the senior sister in charge of our group. She talks a lot, and often goes off topic, not efficient at all, it's annoying to listen to."
Jingxuan tried to comfort her: "Maybe she's also trying hard to do a good job, just not using the right method."
Cai Ying shook her head: "Maybe, but I really feel like quitting, it feels too time-consuming and exhausting."
Ruxi also nodded and said, "Yeah, it seems like everyone's club activities are quite busy. I feel like we all need some relaxation time."
Cai Ying Looking at my roommates with a pleading expression, I said, "Hey, can you guys help me come up with a reason to withdraw from the literary award? My senior in charge is relatively easy to talk to, so if there's a reasonable excuse, I think he should accept it."
Ruoxi After thinking for a while, she suggested, "If you want to quit, it's best to have a reasonable excuse. Have you been busy with anything lately? Maybe you can use that as an excuse."
Cai Ying Nodding, he replied, "Yes, I've actually been very busy lately. I've been researching Lawrence of Arabia, planning to use this topic for my research project. This can serve as a reasonable excuse to quit."
Xiao Ri agreed, "Hmm, that sounds like a good reason. You can say that because you need to focus on this research project, you don't have enough time and energy to participate in the literary award activities."
Jingxuan also expressed support, "Yes, saying it like that is both reasonable and won't make people feel like you're dropping out for no reason. And you really are busy with this research project, it's not an excuse."
Cai Ying Gratefully, she looked at her roommates and then took out her laptop, gently opening the chat window of the social media app. Carefully, she found the chat channel with her senior and began drafting a message.
"Look, I think I should write it like this," Cai Ying she said, turning the laptop towards everyone to read together. The message read: "Dear senior, I am very sorry to disturb you. I am currently preparing a research project on 'Lawrence of Arabia,' which requires a significant amount of time and effort from me. Therefore, I am concerned that I will no longer be able to effectively participate in the literary award-related work. I am sorry, but I must withdraw from the team to focus on my research."
Xiao Ri nodded and commented seriously, "This is well written, direct and polite. You have highlighted the key points and come across as very sincere."
Ruoxi added, "Yes, and you mentioned your research project, which makes your reasons even more solid. I think the senior should understand."
Jingxuan said softly, "Hmm, I agree too. Writing like this gives people the feeling that you are really busy and value your academic pursuits very much."
Cai Ying carefully read the message a few times, then clicked send. A relieved expression appeared on her face, "Okay, sent. I hope the senior brother can understand."
"Don't worry, he will definitely understand," Ruoxi encouraged.
Taking a deep breath, Cai Ying closed the laptop and turned to the roommates, "Thank you so much for your help and support."
Four people continued to enjoy their evening, chatting and sharing jokes, spending a pleasant night in the company of barbecue and cocktails. This evening was not only about enjoying good food, but also about the embodiment of friendship and support, making everyone feel warm and happy.
