"Xiao Xi, I just heard from our senior that the elective course we're taking this semester, 'Introduction to Society and Culture of English-Speaking Countries,' has a really strict teacher and the course is supposed to be quite difficult."
Qiu Xi had just collected the books for her classmates, and she didn't know how Song Daiyao had managed to get this information.
As soon as she entered the dormitory, Song Daiyao grabbed Qiu Xi, wanting to verify this.
"Let me see..."
Qiu Xi flipped through the books, and it seemed to be true!
"The teacher is Deng Jun, and I think... he's even a doctor!"
"Seriously?!?!" Song Daiyao hadn't expected this. When she came back, she had been thinking that if the teacher was strict, she would just ask Mr. Zhou Gong to date her less. But now, it seemed she wouldn't even dare to doze off.
Ahhh, this is too hard.
"Suddenly, I don't know if I should look forward to it or regret it."
"How come I feel like we're going to be in this until the end..."
"..."
Qiu Xi looked at the three of them, not knowing what to say. Was this what they called self-inflicted stress, letting the teacher win without any effort?
"You haven't even started attending classes yet, and look at what you've all imagined."
Qiu Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, so she tapped each of their foreheads.
"If you have this much time, you might as well start studying. You'll see the rest tomorrow."
"Hmph~"
Although Song Daiyao said it quite righteously, she was actually helpless and timid.
As soon as she finished speaking, she obediently sat down. If you were to ask why, it would be because she loved to study.
"..."
Seeing Song Daiyao instantly turn into a well-behaved girl, Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan exchanged glances and smiled, shrugging.
It had only been one semester, but their dormitory had already formed this unique dormitory culture under Qiu Xi's influence.
And it was quite nice.
...
"The comprehensive evaluation results are out!!!"
"Xiao Xi, as expected, you haven't let me down! Great, great!"
Song Daiyao looked at Qiu Xi, who was at the top of the professional list, and the well-behaved girl instantly turned into a relieved elder.
"..."
Qiu Xi herself didn't understand why she had accumulated so many speechless moments so early in the semester.
"Daiyao, you're like a monkey now, so lively."
Liang Yunfei, unable to watch any longer, teased her.
If no one said anything to her, she would probably get too carried away.
"But I'm just happy~"
"..."
"Put your hands down. You're twisting them like this, acting like a demure lady for me?"
This is too difficult, how can there be such a dramatic person???
"I... I'll put them down..."
"..." She's leaving!
"Hahaha hahaha~"
"Xiao Feifei, let's go quickly~ Hahaha~"
Looking at the two of them, Qiu Xi was also amused. Daiyao was too adaptable!
"Alright, don't forget you have morning reading tomorrow! You should just read a bit and go to sleep."
"...Yan Yan, why did you have to remind me!"
Students from their School of Foreign Languages had morning reading. Although they had gotten through it for the past six months, they were still a bit lazy at the start of the semester and didn't want to get up early.
"Okay, hurry up and get ready, it's almost time for lights out."
"Alright then..."
The next day, the first class of the semester was the legendary Dr. Deng's class.
The teacher was indeed quite strict. At the beginning of the course, he announced that students were required to read an English work this semester and asked the class representative to help tally the chosen books after class. In addition, he was also very fond of calling on students to answer questions.
However, after two classes, the teacher also enjoyed chatting a lot and often shared extended stories during class, which were quite interesting.
...
"Dr. Deng, the gentleman, is quite cute when he calls the children."
"His lectures are also very interesting, just a bit demanding..."
...
As soon as class ended, Qiu Xi heard several classmates say this.
Qiu Xi herself quite liked this teacher. As a linguistics major, his level was truly high.
"Sister Xi, the counselor is urging us to submit the forms. Have you finished filling out your 'Three Goods Student' and 'Excellent Student Cadre' applications?"
This "Sister Xi" brought Qiu Xi back to her senses.
This was a special title that her classmates had given her, the class representative, after many incidents in class. Everyone just got used to calling her that.
"Hmm? Almost done, I'll finish it up when I get back!"
"Okay, just email it to the counselor once you're done," she said.
"Got it."
Fortunately, she was reminded, otherwise, she really wouldn't have remembered that her "Outstanding Student" and "Excellent Student Cadre" forms weren't completed yet.
"Daiyao, you guys go ahead. I have to rush back to finish and submit it."
She had planned to go eat with them, but it seemed that was not going to happen now.
"Go back, we'll bring you food later."
"Okay, love you guys~"
