After two days of rest at home, Qiu Xi's extra holiday finally came to an end.
As for Hua Linglong, she was picked up by Bai Yixuan the afternoon of the next day.
Carrying her suitcase, Qiu Xi returned to school with Nan Hua.
"Ah Hua, I'll head up first then, bye bye~"
"Mm, bye bye."
With that, Qiu Xi picked up her suitcase and briskly headed back to the dorm.
"My babies, I'm back~"
"Xiao Xi~"
Song Daiyao was really cooperative, playing her part perfectly.
"Hahahaha~"
I'm so happy, so happy~
It's just a little silly…
"Xiao Xi, congratulations~"
After everyone settled down, Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan began to offer their congratulations.
Before Qiu Xi had even returned, a banner had already been hung in the courtyard.
Her friends had been waiting for this day.
"Hehe~"
"Received!"
She had received it before she even returned. Reading books.
"Come, let me show you the gifts I brought back for you!"
"Gifts?!"
"Xiao Xi, you are truly a… big treasure!"
Not only did she bring back good news upon her return, but she also brought gifts.
"That's for sure~"
"Here, I've labeled them all for you, take them!"
After distributing the gifts, Qiu Xi remembered as she was tidying up that she still needed to go see Teacher Ding.
So, she turned to Shen Yan and asked, "Yan Yan, I need to go see Teacher Ding later, do you want to come along?"
Shen Yan nodded, "Sure." She had promised Grandma Li during their chat that she would go, and going with Xiao Xi today was perfect.
"Okay, then I'll get ready, and we'll go together in a bit."
"Mm."
…
Dawn's Light -
"Jingshu, when is our boss coming back?" Xi Qinqin asked, resting her chin on her hand at the adjacent workstation, looking somewhat bored.
Song Jingshu's fingers rested on her keyboard as she chatted with Xi Qinqin.
"She should be back in the next couple of days. Yunfei isn't here today because Sister Xi is returning."
"She should have arrived at school by now. If there's nothing else, Sister Xi should be back in these next two days."
Xi Qinqin took a deep breath, "Hoo~ That's good then!"
She felt like she was getting moldy after being here for a few days…
In fact, the truth was… she was doing nothing here and living for free, which made her feel a little guilty.
"Qinqin, you should worry less!" Song Jingshu glanced at Xi Qinqin.
She had been observing Xi Qinqin's thoughts these past few days, and she could only say… she was still a bit too young.
Look at this, isn't it good to have days without worrying about food and drink?
Seeing someone so eager to start working, she wished she could switch places with her…
Alas, she didn't have the ability…
"I'm not worried, I just want to find something to do," Xi Qinqin explained (defended).
If it were in the past, she definitely wouldn't worry about anything and would even feel at ease freeloading.
But times have changed!
There was also Chen Shuo; their freelance work had both ended.
To avoid overlapping with future work, they hadn't taken on any new jobs since.
"Then you can rest assured!"
"Based on my understanding of Sister Xi, you'll be busy with little else later, definitely keeping you so busy you'll wish you weren't!"
"At that time, you'll definitely regret saying all this just now."
Xi Qinqin was stunned, a little hesitant, "This… it wouldn't be that bad, would it?"
"Whether it is or isn't, you can ask Chu Lanzhi."
Chu Lanzhi was always serious and wouldn't joke around.
Hearing Song Jingshu say that, Xi Qinqin looked towards Chu Lanzhi, hoping for an answer.
Song Jingshu nudged her, "Lanzhi, tell Qinqin if what I said is true."
Chu Lanzhi looked at Xi Qinqin not far away and thought for a moment about how to phrase it.
In the end, he realized… he couldn't think of anything tactful…
So, he could only nod and say seriously, "Jingshu is right, it might even be busier than that…"
He wasn't exaggerating at all.
Back then, they had worked overtime continuously, only getting a little break after two or three months.
But they hadn't rested for long before they started working overtime again… If the salary hadn't been so generous… they might not be here now.
In the end, it turned out that the days they had endured were indeed quite rewarding.
Xi Qinqin, "…"
So, should she enjoy this last… happy time a little more now?
As if sensing her thoughts, Song Jingshu patted her shoulder and said very seriously, "Qinqin~ Enjoy these two more days…"
"…" Xi Qinqin's face darkened a little.
This wasn't a farewell speech…
It was eerie!
However, because of this, she was able to enjoy a few more days of free life quite guilt-free until Qiu Xi arrived at the company.
