"Xiao Xi, will I get to eat this again in the future?"
After eating her fill, Song Daiyao slumped onto the sofa, patting her belly while still chattering to Qiu Xi about the dishes from the birthday banquet.
They were just too delicious. After experiencing Xiao Xi's milk tea and desserts, she was now conquered by Xiao Xi's cooking skills.
"I want to ask too!"
Someone else chimed in, this time it was Shen Yan.
She was now thinking of taking Xiao Xi home, which would probably make her mother too happy!
This way, her mother wouldn't constantly target her with her "skills."
While unleashing her skills wasn't scary, the frightening part was that the methods used on her were quite unusual.
Towards other people's children, it was practically "rainbow farts," but towards her own, it was a "meteor hammer"!
Just as the two were bantering and getting excited, Qiu Xi realized that the gazes of the people present had all turned towards her, shining with a green light!
"..."
Already sitting against the sofa, Qiu Xi had no choice but to squeeze closer to Nan Hua.
It was because he was the only one with a normal expression!
If Qiu Xi's current thoughts were known to everyone present, they would probably collectively roll their eyes.
Nan Hua was getting the best of both worlds, acting coy. With the person secured, why worry about a little food?
However, judging by his genetic predispositions, he probably wouldn't want his own young lady to cook often.
But in the end, Qiu Xi still said, "Alright, I'll see. If there's a chance in the future, I'll make it for you again."
"Okay~"
Having hope was better than having none!
So, everyone was quite happy.
...
"Xi Xi, let's go."
After resting, Nan Hua called out to Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi asked, confused, "Where are we going?"
"To see your surprise."
"What is it?"
Being pulled along, Qiu Xi's mind was filled with the word "surprise."
"You'll know when we get out."
"..."
After watching the two leave, those remaining inside quietly followed them out, but they took a back door.
"What is it?"
Walking out onto the open-air balcony, Qiu Xi looked up at the dark night sky, feeling a bit bewildered.
"Come, close your eyes, then open them."
Qiu Xi did as Nan Hua said, feeling a bit foolish.
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
Two sounds startled Qiu Xi, who had her eyes closed.
But the moment she opened her eyes and saw the sky, Qiu Xi covered her mouth.
"How did you guys do this?"
After recovering, she didn't miss the people below who were stifling laughter.
Her mind was still replaying the special fireworks she had just seen.
These were the most beautiful and her favorite fireworks she had ever seen.
When she saw her name, she was already shocked. Then, seeing the small sky ladders slowly rising, and finally the blooming flowers, she was speechless.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
"You haven't answered me yet."
This project was not easy, and these few people probably put in a lot of effort.
"We specifically found someone to do it. We've been researching it for a long time, and we really owe those few people this time."
Nan Hua said it casually, and at the end, he gestured with his eyes towards the few people still chuckling below.
"Nan Hua!"
"Hm?"
"Thank you!"
Remember everything I said!
"Mm."
Everything about you, I will not forget.
...
"But you should have told me in advance. Such a beautiful moment, I didn't have time to record it."
After the emotional moment, Qiu Xi remembered she hadn't recorded it.
"Don't worry, we've already considered all of that."
Song Daiyao, who was still eavesdropping, said at an inopportune moment.
"Really?"
But Qiu Xi wasn't concerned about that now.
Hearing the slight doubt, Song Daiyao pointed, "Of course, look there!"
"Iā¦ Song Daiyao! You're amazing!"
Fixed cameras and drones!
Impressive! This is so like Song Daiyao!
"That's right!"
"That's enough, we can watch it slowly when we get back tonight."
"Okay!"
"But we have to go back now. You two can make your own arrangements."
"Alright, we'll go out for a stroll and then head back."
"Mm."
...
A few days later, in the Outer Court Conference Room -
"Xiao Xi, the exchange event with Xi Nian University is also about to begin. Old Yan is urging us for the list. What do you think?"
Due to the speech competition, several people from the freshman debate group were absent, so Qiu Xi and the others had been delayed in selecting participants.
Qiu Xi thought for a moment, "Why not today?"
Since everyone was here, it was better to strike while the iron was hot, so let's just do it today.
"No preparation time at all?"
"There won't be this much time on the debate stage either. It's all about reacting. Let's just do it like this."
This exchange event needed people like that. They would select them from below, and if Old Yan had no objections, it would probably be finalized.
Zhang Shu was a bit helpless, but there was nothing she could do. "Okay."
It's not that I, Lao Na, don't want to help, it's just that your Senior Qiu is quite capable, and we can't drag it out.
"Then it's settled. We'll first ask who wants to sign up, and if there are too few, we'll find them. If there are too many, they'll have a PK among themselves."
"Mm."
In just a few words, the four of them decided on the matter of selecting participants for the exchange event during the training session later.
...
"Alright, before today's training begins, I need to convey something Teacher Yan mentioned..."
Succinctly, Qiu Xi explained the matter of selecting people from the debate group to participate in the exchange event.
Although the four people standing in front were composed, the youngsters below had already started buzzing with excitement.
"Keke, do you want to go?"
Zhao Yingying hesitated a little, then asked Mei Ke.
"Yes, I'll sign up first. I want to broaden my horizons."
"That's Xi Nian University! They've been across the street from our school for so long, I've always wanted to experience it."
It wasn't necessarily her who would be chosen, but she couldn't resist her desire to see the world.
"Okay, then let's go try together."
"Just the two of you? Aren't you afraid of trying and dying!"
"I say, Gu Yan Sheng, are you amazing because you're better!"
Zhao Yingying was so angry she gritted her teeth. This Gu Yan Sheng, saying he changed, but he hadn't changed at all, he was exceptionally annoying!
"Then I'm just a little bit better than you~" he said, even using his finger to indicate the difference.
"Ahhh!"
This person was really making her furious!
"Ying Ying, harmony brings wealth! Hold back!"
Mei Ke, who was used to this, began to soothe her, afraid that this explosive girl would completely detonate.
"Keke! He..."
"Mm, alright, alright, it's not the first time you've known this."
Although Gu Yan Sheng's words weren't pleasant to hear, he was actually quite a decent person.
