"Alright, everyone stand properly."
It was Duan Siyin.
This was Duan Siyin's first time speaking to everyone as the leader of the responsible individuals.
"In a moment, there will be a free exchange session. Feel free to chat casually. If you're really idle, just stay by your respective supervisors. When the time comes, our event will conclude."
"I know what you're all worried about. During the free exchange session, chat if you're interested. If you're really not interested, it's fine. Just follow your supervisors and wander around."
Seeing the nervous faces of some children, Duan Siyin smiled and added a few more words.
Indeed, as soon as the previous sentence was finished, several people on Qiu Xi's side smiled, and their whole demeanor relaxed considerably.
This felt good!
Finally, her brain could rest.
"However, everyone, please pay attention. Although we've reached the final stage, it's not truly over yet. Don't completely let your guard down. You must persevere until the very last second of the event!"
Duan Siyin couldn't help but remind everyone again.
Having come this far, she didn't want any mistakes to happen at this final moment.
"Does everyone understand?"
"Understood!"
Isn't it just about being well-behaved? They understood that best!
"Good, then everyone can go over for the free exchange."
"Okay."
With that, the main group set off to mingle with the guests.
...
Time ticked by slowly, and the event was drawing closer to its end.
At this moment, the area nearby suddenly became noisy.
"Miss Nian, if you say that, we'll have to talk to you."
Qiu Xi and her group were the closest, so they immediately walked over.
It was Nian Lanqi and James.
Not knowing the situation, Qiu Xi walked over and decided to wait and see.
She leaned towards her companion, "Chuchu, what's going on?"
Zhao Muchu shook her head blankly, "I don't know either. I just arrived."
"..."
"But that student over there must know. I noticed earlier, she seemed to have been standing there for a long time."
In fact, she had seen her standing there motionless since the free exchange session began.
"Let's go ask her."
"Okay."
With that, the two walked over.
"Sister Duan, aren't we going up?"
Liu Qingxi and Mao Jinyan, standing beside Duan Siyin, watched the bustling scene not far away with nervousness. Liu Qingxi was already feeling an urge to go up and resolve the issue.
However, their leader, Duan Siyin, hadn't spoken yet.
"No rush, let's watch for a while longer," Duan Siyin squinted and glanced at the people on the field.
"Huh?"
"Sister Duan?"
The two were confused. Shouldn't Sister Duan herself be the most anxious right now?
If something went wrong with the event here, Sister Duan would be the one to get reprimanded!
"Mm, you two, watch carefully," Duan Siyin showed no signs of nervousness.
"Watch what?" Muttering the words, Liu Qingxi looked over.
There was nothing to see...
No!
Who were those people running around?
Liu Qingxi narrowed her eyes, staring at those people moving about.
Qiu Xi?
And what was her name, Zhao Muchu, Gu Rou?
There seemed to be two or three others she didn't recognize.
But if there were no problems, they were all children brought from the training base.
At this moment, Mao Jinyan also noticed this.
For a moment, neither of them spoke further, instead staring at Qiu Xi and the others.
What were they doing?
With such a chaotic scene, how could they still be in the mood to wander around aimlessly?
And over at Qiu Xi's side-
"...That's roughly what happened. That James provoked things, and Nian Lanqi, in her anger, satirized James a couple of times."
"Something about accepting defeat, and the like..."
Upon saying this, the person stopped speaking.
While those words did sound unpleasant, it was James who had approached first, so he wasn't entirely in the right either.
Qiu Xi, "..."
She hadn't expected James to come forward.
Nor had she expected Nian Lanqi to lose her temper at a time like this.
"Okay, thank you." Qiu Xi nodded.
"It's a small matter, no need to be polite."
After understanding the situation, and with no seniors present and everyone else looking around, seeing the escalating situation, Qiu Xi had no choice but to step forward herself.
Fortunately, the issue wasn't difficult to resolve, otherwise, it might have been hard to clean up.
"Qiu Xi, why are you here?" Nian Lanqi looked at Qiu Xi as she approached, her expression cold towards Qiu Xi for the first time.
This felt so satisfying!
Qiu Xi didn't mind Nian Lanqi's tone, her gaze sweeping around. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Here to solve the problem."
"Not needed!" Nian Lanqi glared at Qiu Xi and said coldly.
"Hmm? Can you solve it?" Qiu Xi replied indifferently.
"I..."
"Lanqi!" Fang Lingling, beside Nian Lanqi, stopped her.
Lanqi herself couldn't solve this, and even if she could, it would take a long time. Time was of the essence.
Nian Lanqi paused, then looked up, "Fine, if you want to come, you come."
Since you're so eager to get involved, if it doesn't work out later, don't blame me for pulling others down with me!
This wasn't her plotting; they were the ones who came forward!
After speaking, Nian Lanqi gave Qiu Xi a deep look.
...
