Chapter 299

Mi'er went back all the way without saying a word, which was totally out of character as she usually chatted incessantly.

Xiao Qi was also silent.

Although people deal with things differently, Mi'er may not necessarily be as desperate as herself.

However, Xiao Qi felt it was appropriate to know the truth.

It was not until they arrived at the dormitory building that Mi'er finally shouted loudly: "Scumbag!"

Xiao Qi: ...

The response time was a bit long.

Mi'er had already reached the dormitory building and didn't want to go upstairs. She dragged Xiao Qi back to the student street and bought a lot of snacks and fruits.

She even bought three bags of salad.

Xiao Qi: ...

On the way, she finished a whole bag by herself.

Mi'er usually loved eating salad bags very much, but was afraid of getting fat, so she didn't dare to eat too much. Every time she bought one bag, it was for her roommates to share, with eight salad bags in a bag.

Xiao Qi also helped eat a bag. She had a good appetite and high activity level, so she digested it quickly.

But Mi'er was probably always shouting about losing weight, so her stomach was not very good. After eating too much, she kept burping at night.

Seeing that she wanted to eat more, Xiao Qi handed over the bags and said, "Leave some for Yun Shu and Wei Cheng."

Only then did Mi'er not grab them.

She just felt a little aggrieved.

The two came to the steps in front of a teaching building and sat down.

"You said how could there be such a scumbag boy who looks decent on the surface, it's so annoying."

The more Mi'er thought about it, the angrier she became. Obviously these two days he behaved ambiguously, wanting to fall in love, and Li Ruisheng was particularly polite and decent, almost the perfect boyfriend in Mi'er's mind, so she almost instantly felt it was love at first sight.

But when she thought of tonight's truth or dare, she really felt like she had eaten bugs, and it was the kind of feeling when you saw the other half after eating half of it. Now she felt disgusted to death and felt like a pig herself.

Xiao Qi also didn't know what to say. She had been kept in the dark for most of her life and had always missed him, thinking it was her own problem and lacking confidence.

"Forget it, at least it's better to know early than finding out after dating for a year. That would be even more disgusting."

Mi'er thought about it and agreed it was true, but she was still very angry.

Luckily she had only told Xiao Qi about this and had not told Wei Cheng and Yun Shu, otherwise she would definitely feel embarrassed and lose face.

What a reputation.

It was okay that her deskmate knew. Her deskmate was awesome.

Xiao Qi accompanied Mi'er to blow some cold wind and finished another bowl of herbal jelly before returning to the dorm.

When she returned to the dorm, Mi'er had returned to normal.

Young people recovered quickly.

Xiao Qi went downstairs to go jogging.

She had to finish her steps for today.

It was also to adjust her emotions. She felt her emotions had been too rich these days and she was not concentrating enough on studying. It would be better to make a clean break. There was still so much knowledge to learn. Isn't reading fragrant? Thinking about those irrelevant things all day was so stupid.

While jogging, Xiao Qi made a small plan for herself.

Enhua University had a natural language advantage with many foreign teachers from all over the world. The school sponsor Miss Su alone knew eight languages. Xiao Qi counted on her fingers that she now knew Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, which was already five languages.

She planned to learn three more languages before graduating in her senior year. It didn't seem too difficult since she was only a freshman now.

However, she had to make a concrete plan instead of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and ending up learning nothing in the end.

Xiao Qi found that the most important thing in learning a language was the foundation which needed to be repeatedly strengthened two or three times even if it seemed excessive.

Take English for example. She had actually started learning it since junior high school but had never made any progress. That could also be seen as laying the foundation. Later when she studied it again, the progress was very fast, improving by leaps and bounds, and she inexplicably felt she had a talent.

It was the same with Japanese. After the basic training with Teacher Zhou and Mr. Yamamoto, Xiao Qi now felt Japanese was very easy. She felt her listening, speaking, reading and writing were quite smooth and she could basically communicate already. This was the second language after English that Xiao Qi had learned the best.

Korean was still at the basic stage. She was now often video chatting with Kim Jawon and sometimes meeting up, all speaking Korean, so the progress was also very fast. This was another kind of teaching different from classroom teaching with the advantage of very good language sense. The 30-day language sense buff had ended now, but Xiao Qi's language sense for learning foreign languages was still there basically. There were additional bonuses during the buff period, but constant practice and use would leave an imprint even after the buff disappeared.

The most obvious was not the language sense buff, but the memory buff. With the memory buff, her memory was extremely good, almost photographic. Of course it was only almost. To achieve long-term memory still required focused consolidation several times.

Besides, using the memory buff could easily overdraw the brain. If the study time was too long, there would be a bit loss of concentration. Xiao Qi always used the most efficient time to learn and recite, or switch to another subject to study.

Although the buff disappeared, the learning experience remained.

Now although she could not glance over and imprint everything in memory, concentrating and learning still greatly enhanced her memory. Consolidating a few more times would enable her to remember.

It was completely different from spending days laboriously memorizing a passage in the past, or forgetting it after a couple of days even after memorizing it.

The efficiency had changed tremendously.

Next was the Spanish class, which was another language system. But Xiao Qi felt she could learn it very well, not only for one more language, but also to get in touch with another part of the world, broadening her horizon. Then she would not limit her vision to the little land in front of her eyes, or certain people or inadequacies before her eyes.

She planned to start the other few languages in the next semester or sophomore year. Trying to chew more than she could swallow would be futile.

She ran in the night, increasingly carefree. As for Li Ruisheng, Xiao Qi had already thrown him to the back of her mind.

Only when one dwelt on something would one remain attached. If one didn't care, it would become nothing.

At this moment, the pitch dark Gumula Village was very lively.

There were street lights in Gumula Village which were normally turned off at ten o'clock. The villagers walked with flashlights quite contentedly.

Recently something incredible had happened in Gumula Village. It had been confirmed that Lame Su's daughter had really earned 100,000 yuan. She hadn't even returned home, surely living extravagantly in the city. It had even been reported on television.

Lame Su's mother-in-law Li Fengjiao squatted at the village committee hall every day to wait for cars coming, to see if Lame Su had come back.

Squatting for several days without any sight of him, she cursed and swore every day.

The villagers were nasty, always teasing the old lady, saying it must be because she had been too harsh on her eldest son in the past, and now that he had money, he didn't even come home.

Li Fengjiao cursed even more severely.

Then tonight, someone watching the Meng City news happened to see Lame Su's daughter again.

Others couldn't get on TV once in their lifetime, yet Lame Su's daughter appeared on TV casually like eating or drinking, every few days.

This time it was even more outrageous that she had won first place in a provincial foreign language competition.

Although the prize money was only 3,000 yuan, foreign language was too remote in the eyes of Gumula villagers, making it feel very impressive.

As they chatted, the story morphed into Lame Su's daughter going abroad.

The villagers were quite excited. As they passed Lame Su's house, there were no lights inside and the front door was closed too, which was a bit disappointing. If Lame Su had been home, they could have gone in to chat.

Although the door was closed, as the villagers walked by, they suddenly felt something different about the newly renovated earthen wall. It seemed to have become taller and more imposing, and they no longer felt as casual about calling out Lame Su's name when passing by...
