“Xiao Xi! What are you doing?”
Immersed in bargaining with the system, Qiu Xi completely forgot she was still on the phone with her cousin.
“Ah… Nothing.”
“Alright, then that’s settled. Once the money arrives, we’ll mail you the contract.”
“Okay.”
Qiu Xi trusted her family.
However, after hanging up, Qiu Xi looked at the small book that cost 8,000 points and felt like crying again.
She hoped this thing was useful, otherwise, she feared she might eat Little Hua as a snack!
“Xiao Xi, you won’t come to that day.”
“I hope so!”
Really, if it didn’t prove useful, she’d have lost out big time!
Still sighing, Qiu Xi thought about sending the book back along with the contract when she received it, hoping her cousins would also do their part and help her recoup her investment.
So, in the afternoon, while the bank was still open, Qiu Xi immediately went to transfer the money.
When Xu Xuanming received the message that evening, he suspected he had gone mad.
After confirming multiple times that it was Qiu Xi who had transferred the money, without a second thought, he gathered a few people and convened an emergency meeting that very night.
He finally closed his eyes to sleep after mailing out the contract early the next morning.
…
“Xiao Xi, I’m not going. With the long holiday here, Zhou Fei won’t let me off the hook.”
When Qiu Xi asked if Liang Yunfei wanted to hang out during the National Day holiday, Liang Yunfei refused without much thought.
She and Zhou Fei always made plans every year, and this year was no exception. He had come to find her long ago.
“Okay, then what about Yan Yan…”
“I’m preparing to go home!”
“…”
Dai Yao was going to the hospital to accompany Zhao Huasheng, and Nan Hua’s intentions were more than obvious.
Since Little Feifei was gone, she didn’t want to join in the fun and preferred to go home; it was more comfortable~
“Then that’s it.”
Qiu Xi had initially thought that since everyone at home was busy, returning home would just mean lying down in a different place. So, she decided not to go back this year.
She hadn’t expected that no one in the dormitory would be available to hang out.
Ultimately, the seven-day National Day trip turned into a date for just the two of them.
But she thought it might be quite nice. They had been together for some time, and going out for a stroll together would be good.
Thinking this, Qiu Xi conveyed the news to Nan Hua.
“Great! You just need to pack your luggage, leave the rest to me.”
Nan Hua, having gotten his wish, sent the message with a smile.
This showed how happy he was at the moment.
“Okay, then thanks for the trouble~”
Qiu Xi was also in a good mood now. This feeling of knowing nothing and anticipating a surprise seemed pretty good!
With that, the happy Qiu Xi went to the conference room in the Faculty Office building with a pile of materials, ready to start their debate team’s first training session.
When she arrived, the other three were already there, and a few others trickled in.
Since it was the first session, Zhang Shu and the other two unanimously agreed to let Qiu Xi speak first, as the theoretical groundwork for starting the team was originally Qiu Xi’s responsibility.
“Before we begin, let me introduce you to the people next to me…”
After the sign-in, Qiu Xi first introduced Zhang Shu and the other two, and explained that future classes would mostly involve them.
“Alright, then let’s start today’s…”
“Wait a minute, senior sister!”
“Hmm?”
Interrupted, Qiu Xi looked towards the voice.
A tall, thin, and rather pale young man, who was quite good-looking, but his demeanor was a bit obnoxious.
Recalling the application form she had seen earlier at Old Yan’s, Qiu Xi identified him as Gu Yansheng, the junior disciple Old Yan had mentioned.
“Senior sister, you said you’ll guide us, but what about Teacher Yan?”
He had come specifically for Teacher Yan’s reputation for leading two consecutive championships.
“If Teacher Yan is available, he will also provide guidance and training for you.”
“And if Teacher Yan isn’t here, can you guys do it?”
His attitude was already obnoxious, and his words made it even more so.
“Keke, why is he talking like that? Senior Sister Qiu is very capable!”
After the previous welcome meeting, Zhao Yingying had dragged Mei Ke to specifically search for information about Senior Sister Qiu on the campus network and forums. Coupled with the recent hosting controversy at the welcome dance, she had now become Qiu Xi’s devoted fan.
“Exactly, this guy doesn’t understand at all.”
Mei Ke was completely convinced by Qiu Xi’s abilities. If she had any doubts before, after witnessing the two consecutive championships, she had no more objections.
“Alright, quiet down.”
Gu Yansheng’s words caused murmurs to spread below.
“Gu Yansheng, is it? Then tell me, how do you want to proceed?”
“Let’s have a topic battle. If I win, I’ll have no objections.”
Standing up with his hands in his pockets, Gu Yansheng didn’t care about the opinions of the crowd.
He was here to learn; if this wasn’t up to par, he would find another place.
“Are you sure?”
This was the first time Qiu Xi had encountered someone so arrogant. Although she could have ignored him, according to Old Yan, this person had potential but needed to be disciplined.
So, since he had proposed it, she certainly wouldn’t refuse.
“Mm, of course!”
Qiu Xi accepted the challenge with a smile, “Alright, then you can choose the topic, lest you say later that senior sister is bullying the younger ones.”
“…”
“Poor kid!”
“Why would he be so stubborn!”
As soon as the two finished speaking, Zhang Shu and the other two started worrying about Gu Yansheng.
Regarding Xiao Xi’s abilities, the three of them truly understood. When they first joined the team with Xiao Xi, they had also had doubts, but after witnessing her almost cheat-level memory ability, they had given up resisting.
Moreover, besides that, her spoken English, writing, and logical thinking skills were all top-notch; they couldn’t compare.
Thinking back to how she always finished battles in minutes during training, they already started worrying about this junior disciple, hoping he could be strong!
