"What exactly do you two want? Can't you just say it?"
Gu Rou was the first to lose her patience.
She was truly uncomfortable with the two of them dawdling and looking at her.
Moments ago, the two had slowly approached, stared at her training for a long time, asked several questions, and then veered off topic.
When they ran out of things to say, they didn't leave, just kept looking at her.
If she didn't know that most people here didn't think highly of her, she would have thought these two were confessing their feelings!
Hesitant to speak, prolonging the moment?
Seeing she couldn't hold back any longer, she called out.
"What are you doing? We're not talking to you, we're..."
Gu Rou froze, pouted, and muttered softly, "Then hurry up and say it already..."
She looked so distressed!
Qiu Xi looked at the two of them. "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
"Um..."
Silence fell again...
After watching for a while longer, Gu Rou couldn't stand it anymore and directly stood in front of Qiu Xi.
She spread her hands slightly, "You guys are... ah!"
"If it's not suitable for this occasion, then don't say it!"
Although people were more open about these things now, with such a beautiful girl in front of her, she couldn't accept it!
No!
Even if it were her, it would still be unacceptable!
Qiu Xi: "..."
Wang Yanyan and Zhao Muchu: "!!!"
Were they that perverted?
Even if they were, they wouldn't be so direct!
Besides, how long had they known each other?
Less than two days, right?
"Gu Rou, move aside!"
"We're talking about serious matters."
Gu Rou: "..."
This didn't look like serious matters at all!
It clearly looked like inappropriate talk...
"Just say what you need to say. If we delay any longer, Teacher Qi should be coming in soon."
Although Qiu Xi felt her charm was significant, the other two were girls...
"Cough cough~"
"Um... we wanted to ask if we could join your practice?"
At this point, if they didn't say it, it would be quite rude!
"Practice?" Qiu Xi looked at Wang Yanyan, who had spoken, with confusion.
Zhao Muchu, standing next to her, heard this and continued from Wang Yanyan, explaining to Qiu Xi.
"It's like this, we saw you correcting Gu Rou earlier and wanted to join you. Is that okay?"
"Is that so... But I wasn't planning any long-term practice with Gu Rou. It's just that when the teacher isn't here, we practice a bit."
Upon hearing this, the two opposite them showed a hint of disappointment.
"However, if you're willing, you can join us when there's time. I can give you some pointers."
She could consider it a way to pass the time.
"Yes!"
"We don't have any problems."
Wang Yanyan and Zhao Muchu both agreed and nodded in unison.
As long as they could be taught, they had no other requests.
"Then it's fine." Qiu Xi nodded with a smile.
"Okay~"
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome~"
After this one simple exchange, Qiu Xi's meals from that day onwards, not to mention her training, were all covered by these three.
Whenever they had time, they would also insist on dragging her out for a stroll.
After all, those who could come here were all quite skilled in their own right, and most of them, apart from a few exceptionally talented individuals, came from families with decent financial standing.
And these three clearly belonged to the latter majority.
However, these were all things that happened later. Just as they finished their conversation, Qi Yun, who had been delayed, walked into the training room.
"Sorry, I was delayed by something just now. I apologize to everyone here."
She had left in a bit of a hurry, and was still panting as she spoke.
As soon as she finished, she waved towards Qiu Xi. "Qiu Xi, come here."
When Qi Yun first entered, everyone had already taken their positions.
Now, when Qiu Xi was called, she immediately stepped forward.
"Teacher Qi."
Qi Yun nodded. "Yes, have you finished reading everything I told you about last night?"
"I've finished."
"Then you'll be in charge of the class later, no problem?"
She had originally planned to teach herself, but what Jin Qiong and the others had told her earlier hadn't been fully processed. Since Qiu Xi was already here, she decided to let her lead the students in the class while she observed from the side.
Qiu Xi didn't ask for further details and directly nodded. "It's fine, Teacher Qi. You can just watch from the side."
She remembered what she had learned while training the debate team at school, so teaching a class shouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, then you can get familiar with it for this lesson." Seeing Qiu Xi nod, Qi Yun didn't say anything more.
After speaking, she took her things and returned to the inner office, leaving the classroom outside to Qiu Xi and the students below.
Seeing Teacher Qi leave without a word, everyone found it a bit strange. When they then saw Qiu Xi walk to the front, their curiosity grew.
Although they had learned yesterday that Qiu Xi would be teaching them, they hadn't expected it to happen so soon!
"I wonder if she's actually reliable..."
Her own skills were decent, but it was unknown if she was good at teaching others.
Some people were like that; they could practice well themselves but weren't very good at teaching.
She wondered if Qiu Xi was one of them?
