In mid-October, the TOEFL results were released at the end of the month.
"Xiao Xi, what did you get?"
Song Daiyao, who hadn't dared to click on her results yet, wanted to check her best friend's score first, to borrow some good luck.
"Yeah, Xiao Xi, hurry up and check, let us be happy first."
Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan were expectant, but they were still nervous, afraid that opening it wouldn't yield good results.
Seeing the three of them, Qiu Xi could only nod helplessly.
If it were anyone else, these three would probably get a beating.
"Alright, check it out~"
Having known each other for so long, the three felt no sense of their best friend being showy.
Even if it was true, who wouldn't be excellent when they were always so outstanding!
"Xiao Xi!!!"
"Your brain is really something... but why were you deducted 2 points?"
The three of them saw the 118 on the screen at a glance, and while they were shocked, they were also quite puzzled.
Qiu Xi shook her head slightly, "Maybe my eyes wandered during the exam?"
"......"
One sentence, utterly arrogant!
How relaxed must the exam have been?
Acting on impulse, right?
The three wanted to be angry but couldn't, who could blame her for having the skill...
"Alright, we've seen them, you should go check your own."
What's done is done, Qiu Xi didn't want to waste any more time thinking about it.
It was better to look at the others' scores, as it had something to do with her task.
"Okay, let's go check."
With that, the three returned to their seats and started checking.
It wasn't long before the group chat messages started to sound.
"Beep..."
"Beep..."
"Beep..."
Three screenshots: Song Daiyao got 115, Shen Yan got 110, and Liang Yunfei got 112.
It had to be said, it was a complete victory.
"!!!"
"Hooray~"
"Here I must thank Xiao Xi for her generous sponsorship!"
"Dinner tonight, my treat! Let's go for Mala Xiang Guo~"
"Deal!"
"We'll take turns, one day each, treating Xiao Xi for three days to share the good luck~"
"I think that's great!"
Seeing the three chatting happily, Qiu Xi also smiled.
"What? Is my score not high enough to warrant treating you?"
"Of course not!"
"Xiao Xi, you're last, we'll eat the best!"
In school, compared to ordinary meals, Mala Xiang Guo, which the four dorm mates loved, had become the highest standard for treating others.
As for anything better, it would have to be outside the cafeteria.
"Alright."
"Since you all said that, I'd be letting you down if I didn't eat a little extra these days."
"Eat as much as you can!"
Song Daiyao, acting like she was rich, made Qiu Xi and the others laugh.
"Then I won't be polite~"
"Don't be polite at all!"
"I don't have any, but my dad does, and my brother does too..."
"......"
Really pitting dad and brother?
However, Song Daiyao's words reminded Qiu Xi that she had promised to visit and thank Uncle Song after things were settled.
She still had some time before the Century Cup started in November, so she could prepare.
Having made up her mind, Qiu Xi interrupted Song Daiyao's continued rambling.
"Daiyao, when Xiao Feifei and I were negotiating for the company land, we really relied on Uncle Song's help. You're going home this week, aren't you? Ask him if he has time, and we'll go visit to thank him."
As soon as Qiu Xi finished speaking, Song Daiyao nodded vigorously like she was pounding garlic.
"Of course we have to!"
She didn't even need to go back and say anything. Now, whenever she went home, her parents would always mention the girls in her dorm, especially Xiao Xi.
Her parents' nagging was consistent. One of them was still thinking about the skincare products Xiao Xi had given them, while the other felt Xiao Xi was too talented and praised her every day.
In short, she might lack many things when she returned home, but this constant mention of her parents was never missing.
Qiu Xi covered her forehead, a little helpless, "Uh... Daiyao, ask them when you get back..."
Song Daiyao waved her hand, "No need!"
"I'll call them right now, it'll only take a moment."
"......"
Alright ~_~
Before Qiu Xi could say anything, the impetuous Song Daiyao had already initiated a video call.
Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei could only look at each other, wide-eyed and speechless.
Shen Yan, seeing Song Daiyao's decisive action, was both helpless and impressed.
"Yaoyao, why are you calling Mommy?"
"Do you need money again? Mom will transfer it to you right away."
"......"
This familiar opening made all four of them freeze for a moment.
Song Daiyao was annoyed for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "Mom, it's not that."
Mo Lanxin, wearing a face mask, casually replied to her daughter, "Then what is it?"
"Xiao Xi wants to find a time to thank Dad for his help last time, and asked if you guys are free this week. I'll bring all three of them home."
"Oh my!"
As soon as her daughter said this, Mo Lanxin stopped adjusting the face mask on her face.
"When is your mommy not free!"
"Just bring them over. Forget about thanking, it's us who should be thanking Xiao Xi."
Without saying anything, they were already preparing to welcome guests.
Song Daiyao smiled even more happily, "Then it's settled, tell Dad when he gets back, I won't make another call."
Mo Lanxin nodded, "Okay, Mommy will tell him."
Actually, Mo Lanxin knew her husband would be happy without being told.
After all, when Qiu Xi had asked him for help a while ago, he had come home and talked to her about how, at such a young age, after knowing her for just over a year, this child had already taken so many steps forward.
In short, his words were full of emotion.
Song Daiyao nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, darling, haven't your TOEFL results come out yet?"
Mo Lanxin looked at her youngest daughter, remembering how she had been complaining about the TOEFL. By her calculation, it was about time.
"Oh my!"
"Mommy, you're so timely!"
"We just finished checking our scores, everyone got above 110, a complete victory!"
Talking about the scores again, Song Daiyao's excitement hadn't diminished at all.
"Oh! That's good news!"
"This is perfect. You all come home this week, and we can celebrate at the same time."
She had wanted to do this for a long time. Fortunately, she had such good roommates that her naive, silly daughter had improved.
Now this was the perfect opportunity for her!
She was quite idle these days and was happy to organize such events.
Song Daiyao felt that what she had just promised Qiu Xi was settled. As for how her parents would handle it, that was no longer her concern.
So Song Daiyao just nodded, "Okay, whatever Mom says."
"Good~"
"Then you go ahead and be busy, Mom is going to prepare."
Sunday wasn't far away, and she still had some time.
"Okay, bye~"
As soon as the call ended, Song Daiyao winked at Qiu Xi.
"Xiao Xi, it's done~"
Qiu Xi and the other two watched the entire process from the side. At this moment, they had nothing to say but nod.
Especially Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei, they simply wanted to visit and thank them, not to indirectly crash a "celebration party"!
And Shen Yan, she felt she was just tagging along, and after watching Song Daiyao's operation, she was truly speechless!
"Daiyao, as long as you're happy..."
"I am very happy!"
"......Good."
