After Grandma Ge left, Qiu Xi put away the juice and sat down opposite Teacher Ding.
Teacher Ding Yu Jing glanced at the door before turning to speak to the young girl in front of him.
"You're quite a likable one..."
Qiu Xi understood, but she chose to play dumb, "Teacher Ding, I'm so smart, who wouldn't like me~"
"..."
As expected, after following that old Du for so long, she could even say such a thing!
"Alright, you're not afraid of being laughed at by others."
Qiu Xi smiled, "Not afraid~ You're the only one in this room."
"...Let's talk business, let's talk business!"
Qiu Xi continued to smile obediently, "Okay."
Feeling helpless, Ding Yu Jing took a deep breath and gulped down some plain water.
"Let's get down to business."
"You should be finished with the matters concerning the symposium, right?"
Although there were still some subsequent activities at the school, as far as he knew, they wouldn't be involved in those.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Yes, it just finished the day before yesterday."
Hearing this, Ding Yu Jing was pleased.
"That's good. I'll tell those old guys a time today and introduce you. Later, they'll teach you a lot of training content."
Qiu Xi nodded again, "Okay, thank you, Teacher."
"It's nothing. Just follow along and learn well. Don't make it difficult for your master and me, two old men."
Qiu Xi nodded and responded, "Teacher, you can rest assured about this, I will definitely make you proud!"
Qiu Xi knew that the "old guys" Teacher Ding mentioned were definitely not ordinary people; at least their knowledge level was certainly not low.
Although Teacher Ding didn't explicitly say it, she also knew that it must have taken a lot of effort for the teacher to invite them to teach her.
She was very grateful, but saying too much verbally would be affected. It was better to show it through actions in the future.
"Good!"
Ding Yu Jing narrowed his eyes and said narcissistically, "As expected of the person we two old men have taken a liking to~"
He was even more excited thinking that they would meet in a couple more days.
Especially when he thought about how those old guys would be surprised by this child, Xiao Xi, he became even more excited!
However, the more excited he was, the calmer he needed to be.
"Have you looked at the plan schedule I gave you before?"
"Yes, I've read it and understood the general study plan."
"And the learning content mentioned in the plan?"
"I've roughly looked into most of it, but for some, I only have a general understanding."
After listening to Qiu Xi, Ding Yu Jing was even more satisfied.
"Good!"
Ding Yu Jing didn't need to ask for details about Qiu Xi's words.
Based on his understanding of this child, these words were not exaggerated, but rather humble.
"It seems we can save a lot of time with this."
Ding Yu Jing was naturally delighted to be able to finish early and save more time. After all, the training time was limited, especially with the Lunar New Year holiday in between.
Seeing Teacher Ding smiling happily and hearing his words, Qiu Xi nodded in her heart. Teacher Ding's words were not wrong; according to her pace, she should be able to finish ahead of schedule.
"In that case, this plan might need to be readjusted based on your current situation."
The previous one was his first version. Considering starting from scratch, it seemed a bit inapplicable now.
Qiu Xi watched the teacher muttering to himself and didn't interrupt, so as not to disrupt his thoughts.
...
After muttering for a while, Ding Yu Jing finally stopped.
"Xiao Xi, let's do a test first. I'll change the plan based on the situation."
Qiu Xi naturally had no objections, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Teacher."
"Alright!"
"Let's not delay, let's start now."
Saying that, Ding Yu Jing picked up the test papers that had been prepared.
"Here, do it here."
"..."
Qiu Xi was stunned watching the person perform the operations so smoothly.
So all that buildup was for this...
Holding the test papers, Qiu Xi silently apologized to her dorm mates, thinking that according to Teacher Ding's arrangement, they would likely have to wait a little longer.
"You sit here. I won't disturb you, old man."
Saying that, Ding Yu Jing took his water cup and walked out.
Qiu Xi grunted without looking up, her pen already moving.
About half an hour later, Qiu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down her pen, and stretched her body.
The test questions given today were not difficult, just a bit too many.
Shaking her slightly sore right hand, Qiu Xi prepared to go out and call for him.
"Teacher Ding, I'm finished."
Ding Yu Jing, who was sitting on a chair outside chatting with his wife, looked at the person at the study door with some surprise.
"Oh? That was quite fast!"
"I'll be right there."
Saying that, he picked up his water cup and walked back into the study.
Qiu Xi didn't follow him in. Instead, she imitated the teacher, holding a cup and sitting outside, starting a conversation with Grandma Ge.
"Grandma Ge, where did you get such small bean sprouts?"
As soon as she sat down, Qiu Xi saw the two large bags of bean sprouts by Grandma Ge's hand.
When Grandma Ge heard Qiu Xi's words, her mouth twitched again.
"It's all Yi Bai's doing. He said he was doing some research, and it had something to do with these bean sprouts."
"As a result, this child sprouted a bunch at home and only took a small portion. He said the remaining ones were for extra meals."
"My old man and I don't really like this stuff, and even if we eat it, we can't finish it. Leaving it here would be a waste, so I planned to share it with the teachers nearby."
Hearing Grandma Ge's tone, which was both exasperated and amused, Qiu Xi felt that Brother Yi Bai was a bit of a spoiled child.
"By the way, Xiao Xi, aren't you going home later? Why don't you take some back with you?"
While busy, Grandma Ge remembered that this girl was going home.
"Grandma Ge, I'll pass on that. By the time I bring back dishes for extra meals, I guess everyone at home will be full."
"Besides, with eating and taking, I'd feel too embarrassed."
"That's true."
"Then help Grandma send these things out later."
Since the child said so, Grandma Ge naturally didn't say anything more, only inwardly chided her silly grandson again.
"Okay~"
Having been here for so long, Qiu Xi knew some of the teachers in the building.
If she followed Grandma Ge's instructions, she wouldn't feel too embarrassed.
"Well, just wait a moment longer, and I'll take you with me."
"Okay~"
Qiu Xi understood the little worries of the grandmother's generation.
After a few more minutes, Qiu Xi, carrying the things, went out with Grandma Ge.
They visited two or three households upstairs and downstairs before finally finishing distributing the bean sprouts.
Walking back down the corridor, Grandma Ge once again complained, "Your Brother Yi Bai is unreliable in this regard!"
Qiu Xi walked beside her, saying nothing, just smiling and listening to the elderly woman's grumbling.
She knew that Grandma Ge didn't really mean it when she said that, and she wasn't unhappy in her heart.
...
"You're back. Xiao Xi, come in for a moment."
After walking down two flights of stairs, Qiu Xi, who had just opened her door, heard Teacher Ding calling her.
"Coming~"
"Grandma Ge, I'll go in first."
Qiu Xi guessed that Teacher Ding had finished reviewing the test papers.
Grandma Ge nodded, "Go ahead."
