“Come, come, let’s toast to fate.”
At the dinner table, Song Daiyao was the undisputed atmosphere builder, her mouth never stopping throughout the meal. Not only was she enjoying the food, but she was also very chatty.
The dinner gathering eventually concluded on a wonderful note.
On the way back, Qiu Xi chatted with her roommates.
“I can finally focus on preparing for the performance.” Liang Yunfei’s earlier disappointment about not advancing to the semi-finals was now completely overshadowed by her upcoming performance at the freshman welcoming ball.
“Yes, I also have a pile of student union matters, even though I’m just a novice in the External Relations Department,” Song Daiyao also shared her upcoming plans.
Qiu Xi walked and smiled, “It’s good. Everyone has plans, so it’s not a waste.” wap.kanshu伍.net
“Yes, you and Yanyan still need to keep working hard. We’re rooting for you.”
“Even I am surprised I made it this far. Reaching the semi-finals will depend on luck,” Shen Yan was also a bit surprised she had progressed to this stage and was truly grateful for Qiu Xi’s help.
“Qiu Xi, thank you again for helping us so much.”
“Isn’t that us progressing together?”
It was indeed the case. Training with everyone, Qiu Xi herself had improved significantly, the most obvious being her spoken English, which had directly reached an elementary level.
As expected, on one’s learning journey, having a few good companions was the best support one could encounter.
“Hahaha~ No more talk, let’s all work hard together!”
“Right!”
…
As they talked, the conversation drifted back to studies.
“Didn’t we sign up for the CET-4 exam?”
Shen Yan’s words reminded Qiu Xi of the time they were still undergoing military training. The time was already tight, and to secure a spot for the CET-4, the four of them didn’t rest at noon, instead waiting for the registration time. kanshu伍.ξà
“Yes, what about it?”
“Nothing much, I was just thinking it’s time to buy some practice materials and start working on them.”
“That’s right. The exam is in December, and there’s still a month left. We should buy them.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s buy them.”
Amidst the casual chat, the few of them found themselves with a new set of study assets.
“We’re back at the dorm. Let’s tidy up and get some sleep.”
The day’s competition had been quite tiring.
After tidying up, they all went to bed early.
The next day, they thought they could finally rest after finishing the preliminary rounds, but the “surprises” always came unexpectedly.
Qiu Xi was called away by a teacher. Song Daiyao, still dazed, was roped in to help. Liang Yunfei couldn’t escape rehearsals either, and even Shen Yan, who was relatively free, was suddenly called upon to rush a proposal.
In short, it seemed God didn’t want them to slack off or have any leisure time.
And so, their days continued to be busy, completely unlike what their teachers and parents had said in high school, that once you got to university, you’d be free to do whatever you wanted.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, they first welcomed the Minghua University’s freshman welcoming ball.
For the sake of watching Liang Yunfei dance, the 310 dormmates started getting ready before dark, wanting to leave early to secure a good viewing spot.
“Seriously, do you guys need to? I’m the one performing, and I haven’t even left yet, but you’ve already started preparing,” Liang Yunfei looked at her roommates who were already applying makeup and felt helpless ¬_¬｀
How was this different from what she had imagined?!!
“No, no, it’s not too early. We can go eat something first.”
“Then we’ll follow you backstage to take a look and take care of you.”
“Finally, we can conveniently go and grab the best seats.”
The three of them chimed in one after another, and Liang Yunfei found their reasoning to be surprisingly logical!
She then stood aside, watching the three of them diligently primp themselves, remaining silent.
