The day for school to start arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Xi, are you ready? Your dad is calling for you."
"Coming, coming!"
Qiu Xi had changed significantly from before the holiday, especially after taking the Clear Visage Pill.
Speaking of which, the day after she took the Clear Visage Pill, her family thought Qiu Xi had fallen ill or something, and they were all preparing to take her to the hospital.
On New Year's Day, Qiu Xi fabricated one excuse after another, filling one gap after another, barely managing to convince them.
"Hurry up, you dawdler. Your dad has been waiting for you for ages." She had started nagging that morning and was still rushing her now. This child was just too much to handle.
"Alright, Mom. I'm ready now. Let's go, let's go." Pushing Qiu Mom out, Qiu Xi knew that taking action directly at this moment was the only way to stop her mother from nagging.
"Okay, have you got everything? We're leaving then."
Arriving at school, they headed straight for the dormitory. They hadn't lived there for more than ten days, so it needed a good clean-up.
Seeing that the cleaning was almost done, Qiu Xi decided to let her parents go back first.
"Mom and Dad, I'm almost done here. You can go back first. I'll handle the rest."
"Alright, is the money enough? I can give you more if you need it."
"Mom, it's enough, it's enough." Since New Year's Eve, she had completed her daily tasks and saved nearly three thousand. How could it not be enough? Qiu Xi felt she was now a little rich woman.
With that, she closed the door and accompanied her parents downstairs.
"Then your dad and I are going back. Study hard at school." Looking at her daughter, Qiu Mom felt she had to give some good advice. There were only a few months left, and she couldn't slack off. She had to get into a university at least.
"Okay, don't worry. You guys go back first. Dad, drive carefully on the way."
After speaking, Qiu Xi watched them get into the car before returning to the dormitory.
"Little Snow, you're here."
"Uncle and Aunt, hello."
Just as she returned, Qiu Xi saw Ni Xue and her parents. She was a little delighted, her voice carrying a hint of elation.
"Xiao Xi, your parents have gone back?" Ni Xue saw Qiu Xi's neatly tidied bed and no one else in the dormitory upon her arrival, knowing they had gone out.
"Yes, they just left. Anyway, there's not much left to do."
"Lazy Xi! No way, you haven't changed at all after this holiday. Your face is almost at the pinnacle of beauty!" Ni Xue, who hadn't looked back while speaking earlier, suddenly turned around and saw such a face. She was instantly hit by a beauty overload, and her nickname just slipped out.
It was astonishing. The last time she went shopping and saw Qiu Xi, she just thought she had a good temperament. Seeing her again this time, she felt like a little fairy was standing right in front of her.
She was just too beautiful.
"Uh..."
Qiu Xi put her hand to her forehead. It seemed her previous explanation would have to be brought out again.
Moreover, she had a premonition that she would have to say it again soon.
As expected, not long after, the few people in the dormitory started arriving one after another.
As soon as they arrived, they grilled her with questions. After finally finishing explaining, she still had to clean up.
It seemed that sometimes having a beautiful face was also a hassle. (Bystanders: That's a bit boastful.)
"Let's go eat first. We still need to get our books this afternoon."
All their parents had gone back earlier. Qiu Xi, seeing that her cleaning was almost done, suggested they go eat first.
"Okay, I want roast meat rice."
"I want preserved vegetable noodles."
"Let's go."
What they said made Qiu Xi's mouth water. She hadn't eaten cafeteria food for nearly half a month, and these were the cafeteria's star dishes. She really wanted to eat them.
After lunch, the group returned to the dormitory to continue cleaning.
In the afternoon, Class 3(6).
"The boys have just brought the books and materials. They'll be distributed now. Everyone, please check them carefully."
The homeroom teacher, Rong Jun, said from the podium, instructing people to hand out the books and materials they had collected.
It was already the second half of the third year of high school, so most of it was just practice materials.
After receiving them and tidying up their seats, Qiu Xi, after agreeing with her roommates, returned to the dormitory to complete her tasks.
"Beep."
"Holiday daily plan task completed. High school entrance examination sprint task now active."
"Score over 500 on the opening placement test, reward 1000 yuan; score over 550 on the first mock exam, reward 5000 yuan; score over 600 on the second mock exam, reward 10,000 yuan."
Qiu Xi thought to herself, it was truly like putting an apple in front of a lazy donkey; even if you're too lazy to walk, you still have to move.
And she was a living, breathing person. Come on!
"I've never understood why on the first day of registration, we have to attend evening study." Hua Linglong's voice preceded her.
She had been unhappy with the school's policy of having evening study on the first day of registration for three years.
However, complaints aside, she did what she had to do. Games, and the opening dormitory parties were all things she hadn't missed a single night of.
"You've been saying that for three years, how can you still not forget?"
"Exactly. When are you going to change your habit of being a dead fish during evening study and a celestial being at night?"
"You're talking about me, but you're not much different. Six of one, half a dozen of the other."
"...And you're talking about us? It's only us who can accompany you to your nighttime parties."
...
This was perhaps the legendary "bad influences."
As the three entered the room.
"Xiao Xi, we were just discussing what kind of opening party to have in the dormitory tonight."
"Yeah, Xiao Xi, do you have any suggestions? Speak up."
Looking at Qiu Xi, who was sitting at the desk, Tang Siran and Hua Linglong leaned in from either side.
"I actually do."
Looking at the two of them, Qiu Xi felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
But she did have an idea. This year was different; they were all going to take the college entrance examination.
So she thought the dormitory party tonight should be about discussing the future, and chatting about their plans, so that they could live up to their youth in the coming months.
With that thought, she shared her idea with the three of them.
"Uh, isn't that a bit too artistic?" Hua Linglong was a bit confused, not understanding why the change was so sudden.
"I think we can try it," Tang Tang was always soft-spoken.
"I think it's fine too. It's quite an interesting idea. It's the last year, after all. We can't just keep doing the same thing," Ni Xue thought it was acceptable. She was naturally a good student and had planned her life well for the past three years.
"Alright, since you all say so, then let's do it this way. It does sound quite interesting." Although Hua Linglong wasn't particularly fond of this, it was a different story when she was with her good friends.
Having made the plan, the girls went about their own business.
"Beep."
"Task completed, cash reward has been deposited."
Looking at the 500 yuan she had just received, Qiu Xi felt another surge of excitement. The system was truly amazing.
Although she had experienced it several times, she still felt excited, not just because of the wealth, but also because of the sense of accomplishment.
She didn't know about others, but for herself, the feeling she got from completing something, or even just solving a math problem, brought a great sense of accomplishment.
In such a short time, she had fallen in love with this feeling.
Truly, strike while the iron is hot, and keep going.
So, Qiu Xi began her daily class.
Since the daily memorization task only took a little time, Qiu Xi had learned to use the remaining time to match the teacher mode after finishing her recitation to catch up on her studies.
Therefore, when she saw the score requirements for the sprint task, she only felt that it looked difficult but had no doubts about herself.
Moreover, as her usage time and completion efficiency improved, her time conversion rate had now reached 20:1, and it would continue to optimize and upgrade.
So, as long as she studied diligently and completed her tasks, everything would fall into place.
"Xiao Hua, continue with the math lesson from last time."
Without further thought, Qiu Xi prepared to start the lesson directly.
"...Now that the theoretical review is complete, we'll move on to practice problems. The domain of functions is..."
...
"Today's class is over."
Mathematics, it had to be said, was a tormenting demon.
Paired with physics, chemistry, and biology, they could form a table of mahjong.
"Xiao Xi, get ready to pack up, eat, and then go to evening study."
"Okay."
