“Teacher Wang, are you done?”
Ding Yujing, who had finished her conversation and quickly fed the pigeons, walked over.
“Ah! Done, done!” With his last bit of strength, Wang Zhihong finished scattering the pigeon feed in Xi Weimu’s hand.
“Let’s go. We can leave after washing our hands over there.”
“Mhm, let’s go.”
With that, the four of them walked a couple of steps over, washed their hands, and left.
Following two rather senior teachers out, Qiu Xi and the others naturally ate proper Chinese food.
“Chinese food is the best, full and satisfied!”
“Exactly!”
“Those other things like noodles and ribs, they just don’t look hearty enough!”
“……”
Ding Yujing and Wang Zhihong chatted while eating, giving the impression of turning soup into wine and continuing to chat.
Fortunately, the two of them knew their limits.
“Ahem~”
“Have you two finished eating?”
The stubborn teachers absolutely refused to admit that they had dragged on.
“Teachers, we’ve finished eating.” The two could only nod helplessly.
Fortunately, both of them were familiar with their teachers; otherwise, in this situation, other students would probably be too nervous to eat.
“Alright, since you’re done eating, let’s prepare to head back.”
There was still important business tomorrow, so going back now wasn’t too late.
“Okay, teachers.”
……
When Qiu Xi and Xi Weimu returned to the hotel, they happened to see three other students attending the exchange meeting walking with several teachers.
They looked as if they had just finished eating.
“Qiu Xi, Xi Weimu, you two are back?” Ma Qinshu spotted them first and immediately walked over to greet them.
“Mhm, just got back. Are you guys done eating?” Qiu Xi nodded and asked again.
“Yes, we just finished eating and are preparing to head back now.”
“What about you two? Did you eat? And you went out for the afternoon today, how are you feeling now?”
“Uh…”
“Good!”
After thinking for a moment, the two of them finally said just these two words.
“Is that so? Then what did you two do?” Ma Qinshu was quite curious.
“Ahem, we didn’t do much, just… fed pigeons out of boredom.”
“That sounds so nice~”
“The scene must be romantic! I wish I was there today too.” Ma Qinshu clasped her hands together, narrowed her eyes, and made a gesture of prayer…
“……” Qiu Xi was stunned.
This girl, who had seemed so carefree and lively during their interactions, actually yearned for romance the most in her heart?
Although every girl had a bit of that, there were degrees to it.
Qiu Xi hadn’t expected Ma Qinshu to be so obvious about it.
In an instant, Qiu Xi immediately put a temporary seal on her first impressions of these people.
And Xi Weimu today, while appearing refined and cultured on the surface, might still have a bit of a funny side to him…
As for Zhao Mingyun, she would see later.
And Zhen Zhu, who now looked like a spoiled young lady, who knew if she was bad inside…
“Alright, you few, you have plenty of time for casual chat. It’s time to go back and rest well. The departure time tomorrow is very early.” Seeing the children chatting like this, Yang Shanshan and Zhao Qin on the side exchanged a look and immediately urged the children.
“Okay, teachers.” Ma Qinshu reflexively replied upon hearing her teacher’s words.
Zhao Mingyun, glancing at her own teacher beside Teacher Yang Shanshan, also nodded.
“Qiu Xi, we’ll be heading back now. See you tomorrow.”
“Mhm, see you tomorrow.”
With that, they each returned to their rooms.
The first thing Qiu Xi did upon returning was to wash up.
Since she wasn’t going out again, it was a good idea to finish up and lie down early. It was so relaxing!
That’s right, Qiu Xi had no intention of staying up late to cultivate after setting out.
She was confident in herself; the best preparation the night before setting out was to rest well.
And today, after spending the afternoon with Teacher Ding, she was quite tired!
Now, after a bath, she would lie down to rest, and she should have a very comfortable sleep tonight.
For a moment, Qiu Xi seemed to understand what Teacher Ding had done today.
However, before she could think further, she had already drifted off to dreamland.
……
The Next Day-
Qiu Xi woke up exceptionally early and didn’t see anyone else when she went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, she returned and refreshed her eyes, taking a small look at the key points she had marked.
Finally, estimating that the time was almost right, Qiu Xi went down with her packed belongings.
“Qiu Xi, you’re here.”
Qiu Xi nodded, “Mhm.”
“Have you all finished eating?”
“We’ve finished eating, just came out after finishing.”
“That Zhen Zhu earlier, really, she even insinuated that you played too much yesterday and couldn’t get out of bed today…”
If Teacher Ding hadn’t stepped in to explain, this situation would have really been framed against her…
Ma Qinshu, being straightforward, explained everything clearly to Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi hadn’t expected that by just greeting the teachers and eating breakfast early, there would be such a drama to witness.
“Then that’s truly exciting. Too bad I wasn’t here in time.”
Ma Qinshu rolled her eyes, “If you had been here, it probably wouldn’t have been so exciting.”
Being seen through by a teacher and being explained by Qiu Xi’s appearance, there was simply no comparison between the two!
