"Sisters, time to get up!" As soon as the alarm hit, Qiu Xi silenced it and began urging her roommates awake.
They were no longer the same people from when they first met, no longer four people who couldn't be woken even by four alarms.
They had settled on one alarm, with whoever woke up first being responsible for rousing the others, and the person being woken wasn't allowed to get angry.
Of course, in most cases, Qiu Xi was the first to rise and then woke the other three.
This was because they had once overslept and almost missed class.
Later, Qiu Xi thought for a long time and finally came up with a mischievous plan: she asked Xiao Hua to wake her up. If Xiao Hua were a real person, Qiu Xi might not have survived until now.
However, Xiao Hua wasn't that easy to deal with either; if she couldn't wake up, there would be a mild electric shock as punishment. That feeling was truly indescribable.
But even with that said, the effect was undeniably strong. Dorm 310 had never overslept since.
After waking everyone, Qiu Xi started brushing her teeth, washing her face, and then doing her skincare.
If in the beginning, the four of them were like delicate little maidens, meticulously grooming themselves daily, then now they were all about comfort and ease, relying on their natural beauty.
Qiu Xi, in particular, used skincare products from the system, and with their effects so evident, she became even more carefree.
Quickly tidying herself up, she grabbed her textbooks and notes for class, stuffing a pile of items into her backpack, and she was ready.
Next was heading out.
"Are you having breakfast?" Shen Yan, by the dorm entrance, glanced at the time. With over half an hour to spare, she asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! How can we skip breakfast!"
Seeing Song Daiyao, who was brimming with enthusiasm, Qiu Xi suspected that what fueled her early rising was the prospect of a breakfast meal. "Then let's go, we have classes all morning."
"Then hurry! If we go faster, we can still make it!"
Since the teachers had strictly forbidden bringing breakfast into the classroom, they had to seize the time if they wanted to eat.
"Hurry!"
It was fortunate that the cafeteria wasn't far from their dorm building, and the teaching building was also quite close to the cafeteria. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have time to cycle.
"Mmm, I'd rather have the xiaolongbao from the third cafeteria," Song Daiyao said, still craving something else while eating the current meal.
"Just you? You can't even wake up on time, and you're too lazy to go far early in the morning. You might as well not eat it!" Liang Yunfei didn't hesitate to point out Song Daiyao's lazy yet gluttonous nature.
"Hehe~" Shen Yan and Qiu Xi watched from the side, smiling. This wasn't the first time.
When the four of them finally arrived at the classroom, although they weren't late, the teacher was already seated.
Glancing at the teacher and then at the remaining seats, Qiu Xi pulled everyone to sit in the empty spots in the front row.
"Good morning!" Settling into their seats and taking out their class materials from their bags, Qiu Xi and the other three didn't forget to greet the teacher in front.
This had become their dorm's routine after Qiu Xi's significant contributions.
As they became more familiar with the teachers, greeting them was effortless, and occasionally, they could even chat about gossip.
Everything was great, except for the strict rules against being late or absent, and sometimes they had to endure the teacher's extra attention during class.
Other than that, some of the teachers' classes were truly a form of torture disguised as affection, especially the upcoming pronunciation class and the subsequent grammar class!
And so, the pronunciation class passed just like that. "Come, let's learn this. Pay attention to your mouth movements... Come, are there any students from Hunan or Sichuan in the class..."
After finishing the pronunciation book, they moved on to grammar class, looking at the thick "New English Grammar Tutorial." Explanations were fine, but when it came to analysis, it stumped most of them.
Therefore, those who received the teacher's special attention dared not close their eyes, fearing they would be called upon at any moment.
