The moment the holiday ended, Qiu Xi rushed back to school.
For the past two days, she had been receiving messages from her teacher, urging her to complete the necessary procedures for going abroad in preparation for an upcoming international speech competition.
Consequently, after the initial period of idleness, she had been occupied dealing with her teacher's communications.
Fortunately, she had already prepared her passport and other documents beforehand; otherwise, she would have been quite busy.
"Xiao Xi!"
"When the game's beta test begins, let's do it together!"
As soon as Qiu Xi arrived at the dormitory, Shen Yan lunged at her.
Ever since she received Qiu Xi's news about the beta test starting, she had been incredibly excited.
On the day she got the news, she had even spent the entire night chatting with Ni Xue.
If they hadn't been so far apart, she might have bought a ticket and rushed over immediately.
"Yan Yan, you're too excited!"
"Xiao Xi! Aren't you excited?"
She was so excited that she had been dreaming about it lately.
Qiu Xi chuckled, "Excited."
Of course, she was excited about it, just not to that extent. For her, it was more about curiosity.
"......" Shen Yan suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, she was only a little excited...
"Never mind, I'll just get excited with Xiao Xue Hua..."
Xiao Xi was always so composed. Perhaps she had already gotten over the initial excitement of receiving the news.
Qiu Xi touched her nose as she watched Shen Yan's retreating back.
When she first heard the news, she was indeed excited...
......
After Shen Yan turned away, no one paid attention to her.
So, Qiu Xi sat down at her desk and began her post-holiday work.
She was nearing completion of the "Tao Te Ching" mission.
"Beep!"
"Mission complete. Reward: 50,000 cash, Mind Map of the Brain's Cognition of the Tao Te Ching (Teachability Edition) formed. Reward has been issued."
"Xiao Hua, use the reward."
"Okay, reward used."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the knowledge points she had summarized from studying the Tao Te Ching appeared clearly in her mind.
It was as if she were looking at the book itself; she could recall anything she wanted to mention directly.
"Xiao Hua, this reward is amazing!" Qiu Xi exclaimed after experiencing it firsthand.
"If only all my other learning content could be this perfect..."
"......"
"At your current pace, Xiao Xi, it's still a long way off!"
Qiu Xi raised her eyebrows, feeling a bit speechless but also resigned.
There was nothing wrong with what Xiao Hua had said...
"Alright, I won't say anything more..."
She would just work harder!
......
In the afternoon, Qiu Xi was summoned to the teachers' apartment by Ding Yujing.
"Xiao Xi, the international speech competition should be starting soon, right?"
Ding Yujing vaguely recalled that the timing was around now.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Yes, it's soon. The teacher in charge contacted me yesterday to confirm the materials I need to prepare."
"Hmm, who is the teacher leading the trip this time?"
He wondered if he could communicate with them and ask them to keep a closer eye on her.
According to Old Du, this was the child's first time going abroad, and although teachers would accompany her, they were still a little worried.
"It's Teacher Yang Yue," Qiu Xi replied.
"Oh? Isn't that the teacher you mentioned during the discussion meeting before?" Ding Yujing asked, a little confused.
If he remembered correctly, it was that teacher.
Qiu Xi smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's her."
She herself was quite surprised when she received the news yesterday.
She had expected it to be Teacher Huang or Teacher Zhang, but it turned out to be Teacher Yang Yue.
However, this was also good; she was familiar with Teacher Yang Yue, which would facilitate communication.
"Well, then I can be more at ease."
The teacher was familiar, making things easier.
"Yes, that's right."
Indeed.
Although Teacher Yang Yue was very strict, she was also responsible. If things were done according to the rules, the teacher was quite approachable.
Especially since she was now quite familiar with Teacher Yang Yue, there were no communication issues to worry about.
"Alright, so when exactly are you departing?"
With his worries alleviated, Ding Yujing changed the subject.
He had some understanding of when the competition was, but he was less clear about when Qiu Xi and the others would be leaving.
"The competition is on May 28th. To familiarize ourselves with the environment, Teacher Yang said we'd go a few days in advance, so we're planning to depart on May 25th."
Not too early, not too late; it was acceptable.
Ding Yujing murmured, "That makes sense..."
"But this means the round trip will take about a week, won't it?"
"Yes, about 8 or 9 days."
"Okay, I understand."
This way... there was nothing he could do to help.
"Teacher Ding, am I free to go now?"
She hadn't seen Grandma Ge in a while and missed her.
"Not for now..."
Qiu Xi grinned, "Great!"
"Then I'll go find Grandma Ge outside. Teacher Ding, you stay here."
With that, she had already run out.
Ding Yujing glanced around. "..."
What's the hurry?
Was this some kind of dangerous place?
After thinking about it, Ding Yujing locked the door and called Du Bin on the other end.
He didn't discuss anything specific, just chatted casually.
He also took the opportunity to mention that the children would be starting their internships soon.
The two of them became quite engrossed in their conversation.
