Su Li leaned over to request a song.
Seeing Li Weijin ordering a drink surprised her and made her ponder. Normally, it was rare to see the young master so proactive. Among their group of friends, Li Weijin was known as the aloof little prince, so why was he being so enthusiastic in class?
In the afternoon, she went to listen to a speech competition and was startled to see her aunt-in-law. She shrank back into the corner.
She was quite afraid of her aunt-in-law. If she were caught, she would definitely receive a lecture. Fortunately, she wasn't discovered, or if she was, her aunt-in-law never showed any closeness towards her in public, nor did she call her specifically.
Her English was actually quite good, considering she had been abroad several times. But when it came to speeches, she felt silly. However, after seeing Su Xiaoqi's speech, she thought she was pretty impressive.
Su Xiaoqi, this person... She initially thought she might be like Chu Yu and those types—looking delicate and weak, which she didn't particularly like. But time and time again, she proved to be unexpected.
She had a dull afternoon and finally made it outside. At this moment, she really wanted to relax.
She usually loved to have fun and had an outgoing and generous personality. She quickly selected several songs.
Holding the microphone, she confidently took the stage, not feeling shy at all, as if she had become a karaoke queen.
The first song was "Itchy." She sat on the stage with a microphone stand, displaying a powerful aura and singing impressively. The atmosphere instantly became lively.
Fruit platters, snacks, and grilled meat were brought out one after another. The waiters also served them.
Xiao Qi was really hungry.
By this point, she was famished and exhausted. The previous speech she prepared was more tiring than running thirty thousand steps. It finally concluded, and she felt completely drained.
She wasn't talkative.
Mier had a lively personality. When she first arrived, she felt a bit restrained, but she quickly became free and mingled with the boys.
Wei Cheng actively helped Xiao Qi get drinks and food, but Xiao Qi didn't wait for Wei Cheng and took matters into her own hands.
She first grabbed a main dish, egg fried rice...
There was no other choice. The immense mental exertion was also exhausting.
Moreover, she had reviewed her high school habit of feeling nervous and needing to use the restroom. Now, she felt quite exhausted.
Xiao Qi summarized that her first-place ranking in the school speech competition had a large element of luck. After all, Enhua's new students generally didn't have exceptional grades. If they were outstanding, they wouldn't have been admitted to Enhua.
Also, not all participants in the competition were necessarily strong in English. Some people might have excellent English skills but were unaware of this competition or had other commitments. Such possibilities existed.
It could only be said that her victory was relative to the competition.
However, she wouldn't be as fortunate when she went to Qingmeng University to participate in the competition. There, she would be up against the elites from various schools. Compared to those outstanding students from prestigious universities, her own abilities would probably only place her at the bottom.
Xiao Qi ate her egg fried rice heartily, digesting the fact that she had won first place in the school's speech competition.
She rearranged her mindset and resolved to continue working hard, not to become conceited.
She would return home and prepare to gather materials on various speech competitions, both domestic and international.
Ideally, she would focus on more recent ones, closer to the modern era.
Reciting and memorizing more, trying to grasp the speaker's speaking style, the art of language.
Next time, Xiao Qi decided that she would definitely choose a different topic. While contemplating the preparations for the upcoming English speech competition, she was eating egg fried rice. After finishing the egg fried rice, she noticed there were pancakes and grilled meat next to her... brought by Wei Cheng. She picked them up and continued eating.
The grilled meat was pretty good, although the sauce was a bit heavy. This barbecue place was said to be run by people from northwest China. Xiao Qi put the grilled meat into the pancake, combining the flavors, creating something like a Chinese-style hamburger. She ate it seriously and then noticed there were beverages nearby. Xiao Qi rarely drank beverages because they were too sweet. Her swimming coach and fitness trainer always emphasized that she shouldn't drink them. But seeing a bottle of mineral water next to her, she took it.
Chen Daen was surprised to see the class monitor eating so much.
He was also lively, running around the venue.
He walked over to Xiao Qi and handed her a skewer of grilled squid, saying, "This one is quite delicious, the squid is fresh."
After finishing the egg fried rice and the meat-filled pancake, Xiao Qi already felt satisfied, but when she saw the grilled squid that Chen Daen handed to her, she accepted it as well.
The grilling was done well, although the sauce was still heavy. But the ingredients themselves were indeed fresh, probably because they were near the seaside.
As everyone ate and drank, including fruit beer, the atmosphere became livelier than when they first arrived, and people felt less restrained.
Some people even started playing dice... one of them was Xiao Qi's roommate and tablemate, Mi'er. She had a domineering demeanor and was quite formidable.
Su Li also sat down and had something to eat.
On the stage, Chu Yu went up to sing, and she had a very refreshing style. The crowd applauded.
The male class monitor also went up on stage to sing, and the crowd cheered, asking the vice class monitor to join him for a duet.
It seemed like something was going on.
Xiao Qi never expected that just a short time after the start of the school year, there were already couples in the class.
The class monitor and the vice class monitor...
The two of them stood on the stage, holding microphones, singing while looking at each other, their gazes filled with sweetness and sourness.
The others cheered even more enthusiastically.
Xiao Qi stood up and went outside. She went to pay the bill.
After all, it was a celebration for her speech competition, so it wouldn't be right to let Li Weijin pay, and it wouldn't be possible for the class to cover it either. It wasn't the entire class, so she quickly settled the bill. Because there were many people and room rental fees were included, the total came out to over 700 yuan. Xiao Qi handed over 1,000 yuan, asking for the change if there was any and to pay the difference if needed, just in case they wanted to order more dishes later.
But this price was considered cheap because it was a student-oriented establishment on the school campus. In the city, if you wanted a room this size, the rental fee alone would be several hundred yuan.
After paying the bill, Xiao Qi felt much more at ease.
Indeed, she was still a cautious person from a small town, always feeling uneasy about taking advantage of others for no reason.
Luckily, she had money.
She wouldn't feel indebted to others for such a small bill, thinking that she was inferior to them for no reason.
Returning to the private room, the atmosphere was still lively. The air conditioner was turned up high, but with so many people, it still felt hot, filled with excitement.
In the dormitory, Lian Yunshu was dragged by Mi'er to go singing. Lian Yunshu appeared quiet outside, but unexpectedly, the songs she sang were bold and incredibly pleasant, earning resounding applause.
Wei Cheng, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. He was tall and his singing showcased a tender and delicate demeanor.
His voice was gentle, completely contrasting his appearance.
Someone instigated and urged Young Master Li Weijin to go on stage and sing.
To everyone's surprise, Li Weijin actually went up on stage, hopping on one leg, clumsily but adorably.
He wore exceptionally clean and brand-new clothes, like the cutest kid in kindergarten, and when Xiao Qi saw him on stage, she had a particularly sunny smile.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but think that he would cry if he scraped his hand... It seemed quite amusing.
Li Weijin took the microphone and wiped it first before speaking, "Congratulations to our Study Committee for winning first place in the English speech contest. My singing is just average, so I'll pick a random song."
To everyone's surprise, he chose Wang Fei's "Legend."
Wang Fei's songs are highly recognizable and challenging to sing.
Xiao Qi thought it was quite difficult to sing beautifully, especially for a male singer.
"Just because I happened to look at you a little longer in the crowd, I couldn't forget your face anymore... From then on, I began to feel lonely and miss you. When I think of you, you are on the horizon, in front of my eyes, in my mind, and in my heart..."
Accompanied by the background music, a clear and clean male voice resounded from the microphone, unexpectedly pleasant to the ears.
"... I would rather believe that we had an agreement in our past life, and the love story of this lifetime will not change. I would rather spend my whole life waiting for you to discover that I have always been by your side, never far away."
A very handsome young man sang such a song, and it inexplicably felt visually appealing. No wonder the whole nation is obsessed with young idols. When this song is sung by Wang Fei, it evokes countless memories and stories, stirring the depths of one's heart. But when it is sung by a clean and handsome young man, the first thought that comes to mind is, "I wish that girl were me. If only it were me."
The venue became much quieter, and Su Li gazed intently at Li Weijin.
She really liked him.
In a corner, Chu Yu held a bottle of drink, not drinking, with a smile on her lips, looking very ladylike.
Xiao Qi was drinking water and when she looked up and saw Li Weijin looking at her, she almost choked on the water... Quickly, she lowered her head.
"I would rather believe that we had an agreement in our past life, and the love story of this lifetime will not change. I would rather spend my whole life waiting for you to discover that I have always been by your side, never far away."
Su Li leaned over to request a song.
