After breakfast, Qiu Xi followed Ding Yujing to the study.
"Xiao Xi, you're really becoming more and more like family to me."
The old woman was practically ready to recognize her as a granddaughter!
She wasn't a granddaughter yet, but she was better than one.
Qiu Xi saw the teasing look in Teacher Ding's eyes and immediately knew what was going on.
"Teacher Ding, isn't this a good thing?"
"......"
"It is indeed good..."
"You're already strong enough to fight me for meals," Ding Yujing said with a light laugh, glancing at Qiu Xi.
"Hehe~"
"Teacher Ding, you need to hold on. This situation might happen often in the future."
Qiu Xi knew Teacher Ding was just joking with her, and she was happy to play along.
"......"
Seeing that they were about to waste a lot of time, Ding Yujing's joking expression vanished, and he said to Qiu Xi, "Alright, let's talk business."
"Okay." Qiu Xi nodded and straightened her posture.
"Mmm, we're leaving tomorrow. Have you packed your things?" Ding Yujing asked casually.
"I've packed. I was just waiting to finish talking with you today before leaving with you tomorrow."
After talking with Ni Xue last night, Qiu Xi went back to double-check everything before closing her suitcase.
"That's good. Although it's just an exchange meeting and not a competition, it concerns our reputation, so there can't be any oversights."
This was a point repeatedly emphasized by the old folks in the group. Their knowledge might not be high, and they could humbly improve, but their attitude must be correct, especially when going abroad. Their bearing and spirit must be good.
"Alright, Teacher Ding, don't worry, I'll ensure everything is foolproof."
"Mmm, that's good."
"There's nothing else I need to say for now..."
Ding Yujing didn't want to mention the content of the exchange meeting anymore. The child understood it herself, and it would only add pressure to her if he said more.
"Remember, we're leaving together tomorrow, meeting at the airport."
"Got it." Qiu Xi nodded.
After all, it was an international exchange meeting, and Qiu Xi and the other person weren't the only ones going. Those who were traveling together had arrived in Chongxi City in advance.
There were five teachers attending the international exchange meeting together. As for how many students they would bring, that was up to each teacher.
Although the number of students was at the teachers' discretion, considering the overall situation, most teachers only brought one or two. After all, too many people wasn't a good thing; it wasn't a team competition that required a group to fight in turns.
Although they had always favored winning through unity, they wouldn't lose their proper demeanor. And at such an international exchange meeting, if these few people performed exceptionally well, it would be enough to prove a lot.
"Alright, since you've got it all noted down, I won't nag anymore."
"I have a latest list for this international exchange meeting, as well as some materials. Take them back to review, and bring them with you when you leave tomorrow. If you can't finish them, you can continue reading them over there."
In any case, once they arrived, the exchange meeting wouldn't start immediately, and they would have an evening to review the materials.
If the news hadn't arrived so recently, he would have given it to this girl long ago, and it wouldn't have been delayed until now, with them leaving tomorrow.
After speaking, Ding Yujing took a document from his desk drawer and handed it to Qiu Xi.
"Thank you, Teacher Ding. I'll definitely make time to read it when I get back."
For Qiu Xi, there was nothing more comfortable than reading materials.
After all, she only needed to use her eyes to see, and her brain would remember it. Unlike other activities, which were time-consuming and tiring.
"Mmm, then go back. Remember to be on time at the airport tomorrow."
"Okay."
After the matter was concluded, knowing time was pressing, Qiu Xi didn't linger. She came out, greeted Grandma Ge, and went home.
Upon returning, Qiu Xi didn't waste any time. She stayed in her room and began reviewing the materials she had brought back.
The materials were very detailed, listing the research fields and specific achievements of some of the attending teachers.
Although the materials were quite thick, they were merely the "resumes" of everyone. Combined with Qiu Xi's photographic memory, she finished reviewing them by eight or nine o'clock.
In fact, for the entire day, Qiu Xi had only focused on reading, except for meal times and brief trips to the restroom.
......
Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to her family, Qiu Xi's father drove her to the airport.
"Dad, I'll go in now. You can go back. Drive carefully and pay attention to safety."
"Alright, you too." After reminding her, Qiu Xi's father watched his daughter's retreating figure before driving away.
After entering, Qiu Xi looked up and headed towards the meeting point mentioned by Teacher Ding.
After walking for a while, Qiu Xi saw the people.
She quickened her pace and walked over, "Good morning, Teacher Ding."
"You're quite early. Have you had breakfast?" Ding Yujing noted that besides the students who came with the teachers, Qiu Xi was the first to arrive.
"Yes, I ate at home before coming," Qiu Xi said, standing beside Ding Yujing.
"Mmm, good that you've eaten," Ding Yujing nodded with a smile. "Come, there's still time. Let me introduce you."
Saying this, Ding Yujing turned Qiu Xi to face the four teachers beside him.
"Everyone, this is the student I'm bringing, Qiu Xi."
"Xiao Xi, come, let me introduce you to the teachers. This one who looks the oldest is Wang Zhihong, Teacher Wang."
Wang Zhihong, "......"
Is this how you treat your elder brother?
"Hello, Teacher Wang."
"Hey, hello, young lady."
If it weren't for the child being present, he would have definitely given him a good beating.
"And over here, these two are Yang Shanshan and Zhao Qin."
"Hello, Teacher Yang, Teacher Zhao."
"Hello, hello."
"And finally, this one is Cheng Su."
"Hello, Teacher Cheng."
"Mmm, hello."
"Alright, those two over there came with their teachers. You can go chat with them."
"We're waiting for three more students here. By this time, it should be about right."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay, then, Teacher Ding, I'll go over there now."
"Mmm, go ahead."
"Okay."
After speaking, Qiu Xi turned and walked in the direction Teacher Ding had pointed.
She glanced over and saw two girls there, one with short hair and one with long hair. They were standing there, not interacting much.
"Hello, I'm Qiu Xi, a student accompanying Teacher Ding Yujing to the international exchange meeting."
As soon as Qiu Xi approached, she confidently introduced herself to the two girls.
"Uh..." The long-haired girl lowered her head and paused.
"Hello, Qiu Xi!"
However, the short-haired girl next to her was particularly brisk. As soon as Qiu Xi finished speaking, she looked up and introduced herself to Qiu Xi.
"I'm Ma Qinshu, and I'm here with Teacher Yang Shanshan. It's a pleasure to meet you."
She also liked girls who were straightforward. Not at all procrastinating, so open and honest, and so beautiful, she was exactly to her liking.
Ma Qinshu grinned happily.
"Hello." Qiu Xi also smiled heartily.
It was easier to communicate with girls like this. Although she didn't know what kind of people they were specifically, it didn't hinder their current pleasant interaction.
Just as the two finished speaking, a small but still quite spirited voice sounded in their ears.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Mingyun, and I'm here with Teacher Zhao Qin."
It was the long-haired girl next to them.
As soon as the person finished speaking, Qiu Xi looked over.
Upon closer inspection, Qiu Xi realized that this girl's voice was soft, and she appeared frail.
Especially her appearance, she truly looked delicate and fragile. Just standing there made one feel that this young lady was a bit weak.
"Hello." Qiu Xi replied immediately after looking, her voice as gentle as possible.
"Mmm." Zhao Mingyun nodded slightly and smiled shyly, pursing her lips.
This girl was truly beautiful, even more so than the beauties she had imagined!
"......" Ma Qinshu next to them watched, stunned.
So even quiet beauties could smile?
And what about this, and that... Could they include her?
After a while, seeing that no one was speaking and the remaining two students hadn't arrived, Ma Qinshu spoke.
"Ahem~"
"Qiu Xi, Zhao Mingyun, have you remembered the teachers over there?"
She was a bit nervous when they arrived, and she was only focused on lowering her head to greet them when the teachers introduced them, so she really didn't remember.
Zhao Mingyun blinked, feeling a bit awkward, and lowered her head again, "I... except for the teacher I'm with, the other four, apart from their names, I don't remember anything..."
"......" Ma Qinshu was stunned and exchanged a look with Zhao Mingyun.
She was the same as her...
Apart from Teacher Yang Shanshan, she hadn't even had time to match the names of the other four.
"......" Qiu Xi was dumbfounded.
Didn't this information come with the materials?
She didn't believe their teachers hadn't given them the materials, especially since it was an international exchange meeting, and they should be more rigorous.
Seeing Qiu Xi's silence and her speechless expression, the two girls assumed Qiu Xi was the same.
"Xiao Xi, don't worry. We'll have one more student arriving later, and then we can match the names."
"Yes, that's right."
The two said earnestly to Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi, "......"
But she really didn't need it...
