"Qiu Xi!"
"!!!"
Why was everyone calling her today!
Just now, an elder came from behind her, and now Zhen Zhu suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"..."
Qiu Xi was a little speechless, "Zhen Zhu, why haven't you left yet?"
It was a completely instinctive, casual remark.
Zhen Zhu, "..."
"You are indeed very powerful..."
"We will meet again!"
After saying that, she left with her small crossbody bag.
What was going on now?
Mysteriously...
At this moment, Qiu Xi didn't realize how much she had changed this girl today! Read books here.
During the rest of the exchange meeting, Qiu Xi never saw Zhen Zhu alone again, only catching a glimpse of her from afar, following Teacher Cheng.
Surprisingly, her hands were busy, not as idle as before.
...
Noon.
Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming accompanied Qiu Xi to see off Elder Xing.
Having stayed an extra day and witnessed such a bright child like Qiu Xi, Xing Jingtian felt it was all worth it.
"Xiao Xi, you have talent, you must study hard."
"I'll be going back first. If you need any help in the future, you can send me an email," Xing Jingtian said casually.
Perhaps her master could solve any issues, but that didn't stop him from saying it.
Even if it wasn't to ask questions, he would be happy to chat.
Xing Jingtian didn't mind, but the others present were all stunned.
For so many years, none of them had ever made Elder Xing make such a casual promise.
The child before them was the only one.
And she was someone who didn't know how precious this promise was...
Speaking of Qiu Xi, she stood there as normally as could be.
She spoke casually as if she were at home, only giving various reminders.
There was no attempt to curry favor like others might.
"Grandpa Xing, then you should go back first. We'll contact you later," Qiu Xi said, waving her hand as she urged him to get into the car.
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't understand, but that she didn't want to, nor did she need to.
It was good as it was now, real enough.
As for other things, they would come later...
"Alright, then that's it."
"Xiao Yu, prepare to depart."
"Okay, teacher."
With that, the group got into the cars and left.
Qiu Xi and the two teachers watched from behind, and after the cars turned, they turned to go back.
"Xiao Xi, I heard you performed quite well this morning~"
It was Teacher Ding's slightly teasing tone.
The news of the child's morning achievements had already spread halfway through before it even ended.
It was a bit exaggerated, but the events were indeed surprising.
It was also the first time the two of them knew that this little girl was so capable!
Especially Yan Xingming, who hadn't interacted much with Qiu Xi before. Previously, it was due to training needs, and coupled with his relationship with Ding Yujing and Du Bin, he had only understood a little.
Hearing what those people inside said this morning, he himself was astonished for quite some time.
It turned out that old Du's words were not exaggerated at all; this child could indeed handle things on her own in some aspects.
"Teacher Ding, don't laugh!"
Being brought up again, Qiu Xi felt "scared."
Being chased and asked questions when it ended just now was truly awkward!
If Elder Xing hadn't come out to call her, she might not have recovered yet...
She wondered if everyone would have forgotten by the time she went again in the afternoon...
"Okay, okay~ I won't laugh."
I'm laughing inwardly~
At the end of the afternoon, she still had to ask the person in charge for a video, which she could show to old Du when she got back.
Qiu Xi, "..."
She wasn't a mind reader, but she could tell!
Teacher Ding's smile was mischievous...
"Let's go, let's go back to rest for a bit, pack our luggage, and we'll head back to school as soon as the afternoon session ends." Seeing that the child didn't want to talk, Ding Yujing didn't say much more and started talking about the afternoon's arrangements.
Time was still tight. They had coincidentally found a rest day for this trip; he had classes the next day upon returning...
"Okay~"
As soon as she arrived at the hotel, Qiu Xi immediately said to Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming, "Teachers, I'll head up first. I'll see you this afternoon~"
The two nodded, "Go ahead."
...
Afternoon -
As soon as she entered, Qiu Xi heard people discussing.
She didn't expect to still be unable to avoid it...
Even when it started, some people still followed Qiu Xi, preparing to witness the young girl's "performance."
"..."
Because of this, Qiu Xi spent the entire afternoon with the two teachers, trying her best to remain silent...
Only when the exchange meeting was finally declared over did Qiu Xi feel truly liberated.
"Xiao Xi, you'll have to get used to things like this eventually. Why do you have to be like this?"
Her expression of deep distress made him and Brother Yan chuckle.
Qiu Xi gave Teacher Ding a steady look, "Let's forget about this situation..."
She couldn't handle it...
Wouldn't it be better for everyone to just communicate ordinarily?
This feeling was truly different from being watched with curiosity!
They were all elders, looking at her, calling out various research theories, and she really felt... immense pressure!
For a moment, she truly felt like a monkey in a zoo...
"Hahahaha~" Qiu Xi's eye-roll made Ding Yujing burst into laughter.
"Alright, it's over now anyway. Let's get ready to go back."
If they continued talking, the girl might not want to speak at all for the entire journey today.
"Mmm..."
Then the three of them went to get their luggage and hurried back to school according to their schedule.
It was already late when they arrived. Qiu Xi didn't go back to the dormitory but drove Teacher Yan back to the Qiu family's residence.
As soon as she entered, she saw Teacher Yan, who had been very serious a moment ago, accelerate his pace towards her master in the next second.
If it were just like that... she naturally wouldn't have anything to say.
But!
This suddenly blaring sound... was inexplicably ominous!
Qiu Xi rushed forward and, at first glance, saw the video playing on Yan Xingming's phone...
When did this happen?!!
How come she didn't know about such a thing!
For some reason, Qiu Xi already had a premonition that she would be seeing this video for a long time to come...
If it were purely the part of the exchange, she wouldn't mind; her performance was quite good.
But... this scene where she was asked questions outside and couldn't speak... she really didn't want to see it again!
