Dong Jun entered dormitory 412 and began shouting loudly.
"The school's soccer match is going to kick off this week. In the past, our department had almost no male students, so we always abstained. This year, with the addition of our Software Information major, there are over ten new male students. The counselor told us to sign up and show our faces."
Xu Xiuwen and their group are in the Software Information major, which is in the same department as Marketing, Economics, and Accounting.
The other three majors are almost entirely female, with only one or two male students in the whole program, so in the past, they never participated in the school's soccer matches.
But this year, with the addition of the Software Information major, there are over ten male students.
Guan Congshan is serving as a counselor for the first time this year, so he had the idea of having the Management and Engineering Department sign up.
Dong Jun's expression was excited, as if he had taken a stimulant. He paced around, urging the others in dormitory 412 to participate in the soccer match.
However, none of the five people in dormitory 412 paid him any attention, not even Yang Baishan, who liked playing soccer.
Dong Jun's excited expression froze on his face.
He looked around and shouted, "Can't you hear me? The counselor wants us to sign up for the soccer match."
Still, no one paid him any attention.
Dong Jun felt very disappointed. He walked towards the dormitory door, saying as he walked, "No wonder the Computer Science majors say that the male students in our Software Information major have no courage and don't dare to participate in soccer matches."
When Yang Baishan heard this, he immediately jumped up and asked, "What did you say, class monitor?"
Dong Jun felt pleased inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
He glanced at Yang Baishan and said, "The registration for the match has been open for a while. I heard from others that the Computer Science majors signed up a long time ago. They heard that we hadn't signed up, and they've been saying privately that the male students in our Software Information major have no courage and definitely wouldn't dare to participate in soccer matches. And they also said that even if we did sign up, when they encounter us, they'll kick us off the field."
Liu Zhihao couldn't help but ask, "Who doesn't boast? They're saying they'll kick us to death!"
Dong Jun explained, "You don't know about this. The Computer Science majors are all from the STEM field, all male. They have always been the dominators of our school's soccer matches. They naturally have the confidence to say such things."
Liu Zhihao felt weak when he heard this.
Yang Baishan also felt a bit weak and stopped shouting.
Seeing this, Dong Jun hurriedly continued, "Many girls in our major are already in relationships, you know."
Both Yang Baishan and Liu Zhihao knew about this and nodded.
"Do you know which major their boyfriends are from?"
"How could we know that? There are so many people!"
Dong Jun snorted, "You're so clueless. After the military training singing session, the male students from the Computer Science major started targeting the girls in our class. Now, in our class, I reckon more than half of the girls' boyfriends are from the Computer Science major."
When Yang Baishan and Liu Zhihao heard Dong Jun's words, they were about to explode.
The two of them hadn't found girlfriends yet. Now, hearing that the girls in their class were being taken by the male students from the Computer Science major, they naturally blamed everything on the male students from the Computer Science major.
So, without waiting for Dong Jun to continue persuading them, Yang Baishan couldn't help but say, "No, these bunch of Computer Science students are bullying us. I can't stand it anymore."
Liu Zhihao also agreed, "Mocking us is one thing, but taking away the girls from our class is unforgivable!"
Dong Jun quickly said, "The Computer Science majors will definitely participate in this soccer match. By then, all the female classmates in our class will probably go to cheer for them. Can you guys swallow this?"
"Damn it, I can't swallow this! What a crappy soccer match! I'm going to participate, and I'll kick the crap out of those Computer Science majors!" Yang Baishan shouted angrily, extremely agitated.
Dong Jun immediately felt satisfied with Yang Baishan's reaction and said, "You guys in the dormitory think about it. If you decide to participate, I'll go sign up."
After Dong Jun left, Yang Baishan turned to his roommates and shouted, " Brother Hao, brother Wang, Xiuwen, these Computer Science majors are too arrogant, it's like they're riding on our heads and shitting. Can we just endure this?"
Dong Jun's words did have an effect, except for Xu Xiuwen, Jin Haonan and Wang Juncai were also somewhat annoyed.
Jin Haonan asked, "What do you want to do?"
Yang Baishan said, "Sign up, then crush those Computer Science majors and win the championship."
Jin Haonan remained rational, asking, "Did you hear what Dong Jun just said? The Computer Science majors have always been dominant in soccer matches. Can our class, with just over ten boys, compete with them? Besides us, how many boys in our class actually play soccer?"
As luck would have it, except for Shi Xiangming who has never played soccer, the other five in the dormitory have all played soccer to varying degrees. Yang Baishan and Xu Xiuwen even played for the school soccer team, but Xu Xiuwen played in junior high school and didn't play much in high school, while Yang Baishan continued to play for the school soccer team in high school.
Upon hearing Jin Haonan's words, Yang Baishan knew he had a point.
Soccer isn't like basketball. Even if you can't play basketball, you can still touch the ball a few times, maybe even make a couple of shots if you're lucky, and tall people can stand under the basket to rebound.
But soccer is different. If someone hasn't played soccer before, they probably can't even dribble properly, let alone shoot, without kicking the ball sideways.
He said with a disappointed look, "Are we just going to give up like this and let those Computer Science majors continue to be arrogant?"
Jin Haonan also felt somewhat helpless. He turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Xiuwen, do you have any ideas?"
Xu Xiuwen shrugged, "What can I do? We can't even gather enough players, can we go find recruits?"
Xu Xiuwen's words awakened Yang Baishan!
Yang Baishan's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Xiuwen is right, recruit players! Why didn't I think of that?"
Yang Baishan suddenly stopped talking.
He walked to the door and closed it, then quickly came back and whispered, "My buddies from Chengdu, they all played soccer with me on the school team back then. They're good enough, I'll call them to pretend to be students from our major and play in the match. Then, whether it's the Computer Science majors or other majors, they won't stand a chance against us."
Liu Zhihao heard this and looked hesitant, whispering, "Isn't this not a good idea? What if someone finds out?"
Yang Baishan immediately said, "What's there to be afraid of? If we're found out, we'll just withdraw from the match. Besides, as long as we don't spill the beans, who would know they're not from our major?"
Jin Haonan thought about it seriously for a moment and agreed, "It does seem feasible."
Encouraged by Jin Haonan's agreement, Yang Baishan became more confident and continued, "There are also male students from the economics, marketing, and accounting majors, right? We'll find one or two to join from there too. If our classmates ask, we'll just say my buddies are students from those majors. As long as we keep our mouths shut, there's no way anyone will find out."
Jin Haonan, Liu Zhihao, and Wang Juncai were all persuaded by Yang Baishan.
Seeing all four of them looking at him, Xu Xiuwen felt very helpless.
He always felt that cheating was unreliable, but under the gaze of his roommates, he finally reluctantly agreed.
Immediately, the four began discussing the details of the match.
First, the personnel. All of them from Room 412 would definitely participate, then add two more from Dong Jun's dorm who are relatively athletic, and three male students from other majors, making a total of eleven. Yang Baishan would also invite four buddies from Chengdu, making fifteen in total.
Then, the game plan. The four buddies from Chengdu, like Yang Baishan, had played for the high school soccer team. If Yang Baishan wasn't exaggerating, then their skills were pretty good.
They agreed to win by at most one goal before facing the Computer Science majors, absolutely not allowing absurd scores like 5-0. When they did encounter the Computer Science majors, they would play fiercely against them.
Finally, the details of the match. They agreed not to call out their teammates' names on the field, but instead use their jersey numbers.
