"Xiao Xi, where are you going?"
Seeing her pack her things and run off, a few people looked puzzled and stopped to ask.
"Ah! Teacher Yan called me to his office. I don't know what it's about yet."
Qiu Xi turned, and honestly, she didn't know either. She had just seen the message and was planning to go to the teacher's office to find out.
"Alright, you go ahead then. We'll talk when you get back."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Office Building -kanδん
"Teacher Yan, you were looking for me?"
The office door was open. Qiu Xi knocked lightly and walked in.
"Mmm, come, sit."
Seeing her arrive, Yan Baitao smiled quite happily.
"It's nothing much, just about a competition after the New Year. I wanted to talk to you."
A competition? Could it be the national university student English debate competition that the system had announced earlier?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xi immediately recalled the task the system had previously assigned.
"Teacher, what competition is it?"
"Oh, it's an English debate competition. I think you can do well, and I wanted to ask you to give it a try."
As expected, it was this debate competition.
"What do you say? Want to go?"
"Of course, I want to. It's also a good opportunity for more practice. Why wouldn't I?"
"Hahahaha~ I knew you'd say that. Here, this is Teacher Yan Jingyi. Get acquainted. She'll be involved in your training later."
Hearing his student's words, Yan Baitao was delighted. He knew he hadn't misjudged her.
"Hello, Teacher Yan!"
Looking at the female teacher beside him, Qiu Xi stood up, bowed, and greeted the teacher.
"Hello."
"Teacher, you mentioned 'us' just now. Have the participants already been selected?"
Having never participated in a debate competition, she knew that these competitions typically had four members.
"Mmm, I have some ideas."
"Once everything is confirmed, we'll create a group chat for you all to get acquainted, making it easier for your training."
"Okay."
Nodding, Qiu Xi figured she would only know who the other three participants were after she returned home.
Still, she assumed there would be more than one team from the school participating.
"Alright, that's all I wanted to ask you about. If you're okay with it, take this back with you. Since you have time during the holiday, you can take a good look at it."
"...Okay."
Taking the materials, Qiu Xi subtly weighed them in her hand. Goodness, the weight of knowledge was indeed not to be underestimated.
"Alright, hurry back and get ready. Go home."
Pretending not to notice his student's expression, Yan Baitao told her to leave.
"Okay, goodbye, Teacher."
Qiu Xi returned to the dormitory with the materials.
"Xiao Xi, what did the teacher want to see you about? Why did you bring back so much material?"
Seeing her truly enter the room, the three stopped their idle chatter and walked over to look at the items in Qiu Xi's hands.
"This looks quite heavy!"
"Mmm, he called me over to talk about..."
In brief, Qiu Xi recounted the entire story of her visit to the office to her roommates.
"Xiao Xi, I can tell just by looking at your face that you have great talent..."
"So?"
"Please take care of me more in the future."
As someone who wasn't one for formalities, Song Daiyao jokingly bowed.
"..."
"Daiyao, can you be a bit more dignified?"
"This humble little girl doesn't go for that sort of chivalry. Otherwise, it's hard to make a living."
Saying this, Song Daiyao even clung to Qiu Xi.
"Ew~"
"..."
"Men and women should not touch each other, and neither should women!"
Fine, what about dorm sisters? It seemed they were more like plastic, indeed!
