"How is it?"
As soon as Qiu Xi finished her call, the three of them crowded around, their eyes shining.
Holding the dress in her hand, Qiu Xi's eyes were full of smiles, "My mom made it herself."
"Xiao Xi!"
Song Daiyao was the first to walk over, rubbing her hands together with anticipation.
"What is it?"
"We're so familiar with each other, your mom is our mom, this dress... hehe~"
The more she smiled, the stranger it felt, making Qiu Xi a bit stunned and unconsciously take a step back.
"Xiao Xi~"
"What do you guys want? Let's talk properly!"
Now, not only Song Daiyao, but also Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan walked over, rolling up their sleeves.
"Aiya~ We just want the little dress!"
Song Daiyao hugged Qiu Xi's small shoulders and leaned in to say.
"Exactly, we're sisters, what bad intentions could we have!"
Liang Yunfei leaned in and sat on the other side.
Shen Yan, the last one, looked, then moved behind a stool and put her hands on them too.
"..."
Qiu Xi watched, wondering if they were acting.
The play's title: "The Mafia Boss and Her Three Little Wives!"
"Then speak properly!"
Even she, who had martial arts skills, felt a little intimidated.
Song Daiyao giggled, "Hehe~"
"We were just trying to appeal to your emotions!"
Otherwise, she was afraid Xiao Xi wouldn't agree if she said it directly!
Liang Yunfei also asked eagerly, "Xiao Xi, how about it? Is it okay?"
"That still depends on my mom, it's not up to me!"
Qiu Xi was afraid her casual promise would cause trouble for her mother, so she didn't say yes or no.
After all, her mother used to make children's clothing, and she had a little model like Xiao Hu.
So she really wasn't sure if her mother would make it.
"Then... can we ask Auntie?"
"Mhm! We'll pay for them!"
"Right, right, right!!!"
Seeing the eagerness in their eyes, Qiu Xi didn't want to dampen their spirits and decided to ask her mother first.
"Then I'll ask my mom first."
They all nodded vigorously, "Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
So Qiu Xi picked up her phone and sent a message to her mother, with whom she had just finished a video call.
Mom Qiu was very efficient and replied instantly, saying it was fine.
After all, it was a business, and she could carefully consider these three young girls, there was no rush.
"Did she reply?"
"Here! Look for yourself."
"Wow! Auntie is so awesome!"
As soon as they saw the message, the three of them were satisfied and started showering praises. Qiu Xi couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"You guys be clear, it might take a while, it's not something that can be done in three to five days!"
Qiu Xi thought it was best to give them a heads-up to avoid any conflicts later.
"It's okay, we understand!"
As long as they could get the clothes, they really liked the design!
"Alright, then send the photos."
Mom Qiu had said when she agreed that she wanted to see photos for inspiration.
"Okay! Sending them right away!"
Song Daiyao was unusually proactive.
"Alright, I've also given my mom a brief introduction about the three of you, the rest is up to her."
"Okay~"
Then they would just wait to receive the little dresses!
"Is that okay now?"
"Yes, yes! Very okay!"
With their goal achieved, the three of them spoke with a hint of giddiness.
"Then let's all get back to what we were doing."
Don't surround her, she was afraid they might come up with some weird requests next.
"Okay!"
The three of them responded happily and returned to their seats.
"Daiyao, did you tell Zhao Huasheng and the others the address?"
Recalling that she was going to Song Daiyao's place to cook for her birthday tomorrow, Qiu Xi reminded her again.
Song Daiyao patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry~ I've got this, perfectly!"
"Okay."
...
The next day happened to be Saturday.
After lunch in the morning, Qiu Xi took a few people out of campus to buy the things they needed.
"Xiao Xi, what do we need to buy?"
Qiu Xi thought about the menu in her mind, "For meat, shrimp, fish, pork ribs, and a chicken. If it's not enough, we can get some beef."
"We can buy two more types of vegetables, and some seasonings. You can pick whatever else you want to eat."
"Oh, and drinks, I think that's all."
Counting on her fingers and mumbling for a while, Qiu Xi finally finished speaking.
"Xiao Xi! Are you really okay?"
Hearing the ingredients, the three of them could almost guess the menu.
Although they couldn't cook, they could eat, so as soon as Xiao Xi finished speaking, they knew.
But thinking about these elaborate dishes, they were a little worried that Xiao Xi might mess up.
Seeing their expressions, Qiu Xi rolled her eyes elegantly, "Don't worry, I wouldn't say it if I wasn't confident. Would I mess up my own birthday?"
"That's true."
Today was Xiao Xi's own birthday!
Then it was fine! They just had to wait to eat!
After thinking it through, Song Daiyao took the initiative, "I don't know how to buy vegetables either, so I'll take care of the drinks."
"I'll go with you."
Liang Yunfei, who also didn't know how to buy vegetables, walked towards Song Daiyao, and they turned and left.
Then what about me?
Shen Yan looked at the people walking away, a little confused. She didn't know how to buy vegetables either!
"Yan Yan, you can follow me."
Looking at Shen Yan, Qiu Xi suppressed a smile.
With a pained expression, Shen Yan had no choice but to nod, "Alright, I think I'm qualified to be a laborer."
"Then let's go, little laborer!"
"..."
And so, the four of them began their small shopping trip.
...
"Xiao Xi, we've washed all these for you, just put them here."
Pointing to a pile of washed vegetables in the basket, Song Daiyao and the others were about to slip away.
Qiu Xi, who was busy, casually replied without looking up, "Okay."
"Let's go, let's go."
As soon as they left the kitchen, the three of them started whispering and then secretly slipped out the door.
Then, the few of them estimated the time it would take Qiu Xi to make a table of dishes, and finally returned right on time.
When they returned, they had brought a few boys with them.
Qiu Xi, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw them and said, "Nan Hua, you've come at the right time. I've just finished preparing.
"Serve the dishes and let's begin."
"Mhm."
...
"Mmm... Xiao Xi, did you get the chef god's recipe! How is it so delicious!"
Watching Song Daiyao devour the food and still compliment her, Zhao Huasheng, sitting beside her, was a bit troubled, "Can you say that after you've finished eating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Song Daiyao, "No!"
Don't think she didn't see that in the time it took him to say that, he had already moved his chopsticks three times.
"..."
Fine! Eating is important!
