"Xiao Xi, why are you going to the library?"
"To review for the CET-6."
"But haven't you finished reviewing already?" And it was your second round, are you going for a third? How is someone like me, who's only done it once, supposed to live with that?!
"Yeah, I'm accompanying someone today."
"..."
Are the dating spots of academic scholars always so unique and refined? She didn't understand!
"What? Are you going too?"
"No, no, I'll stay here."
Being a third wheel wasn't something she wanted, she'd rather stay holed up in the dorm.
"Alright! Then I'm off~"
"Mhm! Have a great study session..."
Library-
"You're not studying properly, why do you keep staring at me?"
After being stared at for a long time, Qiu Xi finally couldn't help it. She turned her head and asked Nan Hua softly.
"You're good-looking!"
"Stop thinking about such things, focus on your studies."
"Okay~"
......
Qiu Residence-
"Honey, our house is almost done. What about Xiao Xi's room decoration, should we ask her?"
Over the past few months, the old house's renovation had progressed significantly. It was just that they hadn't touched the rooms of these two children yet.
Especially their daughter's room; the couple hadn't touched it at all.
Xiao Xi was a decisive child, and her room was always decorated by herself as she grew up.
So Qiu Dad and Qiu Mom were wondering if they should ask their daughter for her thoughts first.
"We should ask, otherwise, we'll be wasting our efforts when she comes back."
"Then let's ask her when we video call tonight."
"Mhm! My wife really thinks things through!"
"Shameless, how old are you?"
"In my eyes, you're as beautiful as you were when you were young."
"Nonsense! I'm already past my prime~"
.......
"Remember to tell Xiao Xi tonight!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
Qiu Xi's Dorm-
"Quick, log in and check, the Computer Level 2 results are out."
"What's the rush? Logging in a little later won't change the already decided results."
"That's true, but I'm anxious."
As the saying goes, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are. Song Daiyao felt anxious for the three of them who weren't in any hurry.
"Here it comes, don't worry, don't worry."
"Mhm, mhm."
"How is it, did you pass?"
Qiu Xi found it odd that the person most anxious wasn't looking at her own results first.
"Alright, look, you passed."
"And you guys?"
Not letting a single one go unchecked, Song Daiyao spun around three times after checking. Finally, with a sigh of relief, she took out her phone to check her own results.
"Heaven bless me! Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taishang Laojun... bless me, bless me!"
"..."
She's truly something! Are those three pens three incense sticks?!
"Look quickly!"
"Ahhh~ Passed! I passed, I passed!"
"Okay, don't let the whole building know."
"Hehehe~"
"Beep!"
"Computer Level 2 task completed. Reward of 100,000 cash and 500 points has been issued."
The moment Song Daiyao's results appeared, the system's broadcast voice also sounded.
Qiu Xi, accustomed to this, sighed, another small sum of money in her pocket.
Not bad, not bad. And these points, though few, will add up. One day, she'll become a rich woman of points.
"Finally, a burden lifted. I've discovered that following Xiao Xi, I'll never fail."
Song Daiyao, feeling she had grasped the truth, was a bit smug. kAnshu伍.ξà
Although Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan couldn't stand Song Daiyao's smugness, they had to admit that following Qiu Xi did give them a lot of confidence.
"Alright, stop praising me so much, you still have to work hard yourselves."
What Qiu Xi said was true, and she thought so herself. After all, everyone got in based on their own abilities, so they certainly wouldn't have none.
"But we still have to praise you."
Song Daiyao was still immersed in the joy of passing her exam and kept staring at the screen, grinning foolishly.
"Daiyao~"
"Mhm, what is it?"
"I just wanted to remind you that the CET-6 isn't far off, are you ready?"
"..."
True joy turning into sorrow!
It's just the CET-6, isn't it? She'd review it again, and it would definitely be fine.
"Xiao Xi, you really know how to handle things."
Watching her immediately lower her head to review problems, Liang Yunfei made a gesture to Qiu Xi.
"Mhm, the space immediately became much quieter."
Shen Yan nodded in agreement.
"The problem is solved, so let's all get back to our own things."
"Mhm, mhm."
......
"Mom, is there anything else?"
After their usual chat, Qiu Xi noticed her mother hadn't ended the call and guessed she had something to say.
"It's nothing major. We've renovated your grandmother's old house. Once things stabilize, we'll move back and live with your grandparents."
"That's great! I wouldn't disagree with that."
"No, no, it's about your room. Your father and I were thinking about how to decorate it and wanted to ask you."
"This... let me think about it..."
She had her own ideas about her room, so it wasn't surprising her parents wanted to ask her.
"Mom, how about this, you and Dad have people do the basic renovation, and I'll do the rest when I get back."
"You want a blank canvas?"
"Mhm! I'll also choose the furniture myself."
"Okay, then we'll discuss it when you're back for the summer vacation."
"Alright, thank you, Mom and Dad, love you~"
Qiu Xi's principle for interacting with her family was always to say what she meant and not leave room for regret.
"Beep!"
"Hosting skill unlocked. Reward: Voice of Nature."
"Xiao Hua, did you lose out on this round?"
Right after chatting with her mother, Qiu Xi received a reward gift package from Xiao Hua.
However, if this voice was used like this, wouldn't she completely change into someone else?
Thinking about it, she felt a bit nervous.
"Xiao Hua, won't this Voice of Nature completely change me into someone else?"
"Xiao Xi, don't worry. The Voice of Nature only refines your existing vocal timbre, perfecting it. Combined with your hosting skills, it won't arouse suspicion."
"Phew~ That's good. Xiao Hua, you're quite understanding."
Exhaling a sigh of relief, Xiao Hua's explanation immediately resolved all of Qiu Xi's worries.
"If that's the case, shouldn't Xiao Xi work harder to unlock more skills?"
"..."
Are they really treating her like a mule from the production team?
"It's not necessary to think of it that way, isn't this a win-win situation?"
You're the system, so whatever you say is right.
Despite her inner grumbling, Qiu Xi found Xiao Hua's statement to be quite reasonable.
"Alright, then the next one will be painting."
She was planning to renovate during the holiday, so starting to learn a little bit of everything now should be enough.
"Understood, the course has been arranged."
A future with aspirations certainly brought immense drive!
......
Time flew by, and it was soon the day of the CET-6 exam.
"Daiyao, aren't you going to rest yet?"
It was already very late. Seeing the bedside lamp still on, Qiu Xi asked.
"No rush, the exam isn't until tomorrow afternoon!"
While there was still time, she could take another look at this essay.
Cramming at the last minute, she wondered if everyone else did this.
After a few glances, Qiu Xi pulled up the curtain. Comparatively, her skill-cramming was also very necessary.
Thus, some were sharpening their skills, some were reading novels, some were watching dramas, and some were cramming.
One dorm, four people, four different kinds of nightlife, thus began.
