When Xiaoqi returned to the dormitory, the phone had already rang.
Yunshu changed into her pajamas and a white princess-style dress, and leaned comfortably on the bed to read a novel.
In the dormitory, flowers are blooming, very beautiful. She spent the whole afternoon tinkering with flower arrangements, and she really felt something. Although she cut off a lot of branches, the flowers looked more lively.
Mi'er was taking a bath. Xiaoqi put down her schoolbag and Mi'er just came out of the bath.
She said excitedly, "This Friday is Mid-Autumn Festival. Our student union will be hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at the new gymnasium. I also got a lot of mooncake coupons. We can go get mooncakes at the bakery on Student Street. We'll go there tomorrow."
When Xiaoqi heard about the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, he finally remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.
She signed up for the Campus Top Ten Singer Competition and was told to record a demo and send it to the organizer.
Xiaoqi looked at the date and found that it was before midnight tonight. He almost missed it.
"Are you free now? Please record a video for me." Xiao Qi asked Mi'er.
"I'm free, I'm free."
Mi'er was in the dormitory and it was very lively. When Yunshu heard Xiaoqi say that he wanted to record a video, he put down his novel.
Several people from the dormitory came to help Xiaoqi set up the background for recording the video.
"No need to go through so much trouble. I think the vase background of Yunshu is pretty good-looking. I can just sing a song casually." Xiaoqi is now a little confident in singing.
Because it was a demo recorded for the other party to judge, Xiaoqi thought it would be better to keep it somewhat conventional, so he chose a very familiar song "Invisible Wings", which is suitable for girls to sing, and can be sung a cappella without the need for special accompaniment.
Everyone in the dormitory was very cooperative. They closed the doors and windows to block out the noise from outside, and then let Xiaoqi sing.
"Each time, I am strong in the midst of hesitation. Each time, even when I am hurt, I don't shed tears... I finally soar, gazing with my heart without fear. I fly as far as the wind can reach. My invisible wings make my dream eternal. I leave a wish for my imagination."
This song is quite familiar, the lyrics feel good, and it is also suitable for girls to sing a cappella. Xiaoqi sang it effortlessly.
Mier finished recording and pressed save, then she regretted: "Oh no, I forgot to use the beauty filter. It will look better with the beauty filter. How about we record it again?"
Xiaoqi took the phone and took a look. Mi'er was using an Apple camera. The lighting in the dormitory was relatively dim. She sat in front of the window. The dormitory was relatively clean, but the overall tone was a bit dark. However, the singing sounded pretty good, with basically no distortion.
"No, just leave it like this. If the format is wrong after using the beauty filter, we will have to re-record it." Xiao Qi edited the name, class, and student number in the video as required, and sent it to the contact person of the organizer of the Top Ten Singers.
I quickly opened the window, it was still very hot and stuffy in Meng City.
I'm almost sweating just from recording this.
Xiaoqi looked at his phone and the other party quickly replied: Received.
I finally finished one thing, but this time I was really careless. There were so many things to do after coming to school that I actually forgot about it. I looked through the memo and wrote it down. If Mi'er hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it at all. This is not good. Maybe I subconsciously thought it was simple and didn't take it seriously.
She had been preparing songs for the competition. She had been listening to them while running, walking, and riding in the car these days, singing along to get the feeling. As a result, she actually forgot about recording the demo and almost couldn't participate in the competition.
Xiao Qi feels like she might be a little bit drifting lately...
Not very good, not very good.
Xiao Qi was reflecting on herself when Wei Cheng excitedly said, "We're going to the English corner today. Grace, the foreign teacher, invited Xiao Qi to her apartment on Sunday. Xiao Qi said she'd take us with her."
"Really? I want to meet a foreign teacher too. Is she good-looking?"
"She's beautiful, very tall. She looks like she's a lot taller than me when she stands up. She's very pretty, and speaks fluent English. She said her hometown is in Greece. Yunshu, you went there too, right?"
Gu Yunshu is essentially a otaku, but since her roommates are all going, she nodded and said, "Let's take a bouquet of flowers when the time comes."
When Yunshu said she wanted to give a gift, Wei Cheng got a headache.
It seems like what you see on TV is that when you go to teach a foreigner, you seem to bring some gifts. Although they are not expensive, they seem to be necessary.
Mi Er immediately said, "My own factory at home makes a lot of Chinese-style scarves. I brought a lot with me, you can take them."
She rummaged through the boxes and drawers and really found a bunch of scarves. The packaging was quite nice. They were in a cloth-covered box, a bit like a jewelry box, with a copper buckle on the front.
When I opened the box, I saw a silk scarf folded inside. It should be made of silk. There are many silk products in Qinjiang Province. Silk products are very famous and are sold both at home and abroad.
However, the pictures on it were very bright, which seemed a bit old-fashioned to Xiaoqi and the others. They didn't wear scarves, nor did they have clothes to match scarves, so they wore formal clothes.
"What do you want to do with so many scarves?" Wei Cheng asked curiously.
"My mom said that if I need help, I can give someone a gift." Mi'er said confidently, "I gave one to the senior student who leads our student union. She liked it very much. It's quite expensive outside, over 300 yuan a piece, but the actual production cost is very low."
Xiao Qi: ...
Her parents would never teach this. It seems that the education in different families is really different. Mi'er's family started with a small business and is very flexible. Family education really started from a young age.
Speaking of things produced at home, Wei Cheng also went to look for local specialties.
Then I found a bag of dried mushrooms...
Xiaoqi smelled it and it was really fragrant. It was different from the ones sold in supermarkets. This one smelled particularly fragrant. Moreover, these mushrooms were of uniform size, slightly larger than a thumb, and fleshy, looking very cute.
"We make this at home and pack it ourselves. You can't buy it outside. It's not baked in a large machine, but baked at home, so it smells really good. Is this okay as a gift?"
"Of course." Xiao Qi's sense of smell, taste and cooking skills made him feel that this bag of dried mushrooms was really good and a very good ingredient.
But seeing that all her roommates had prepared something, she was the only one who had nothing.
It seems that on TV, foreigners like to bring food when they visit each other, but the conditions in the dormitory are not suitable for cooking. The dormitory will strictly check the water heaters, rice cookers and other things, for fear that students will use them inappropriately and set the dormitory building on fire.
As for ethnic items, Xiaoqi can make bamboo weaving, but it’s not easy to find bamboo here, so you may have to go to the town to look for it. Anyway, we’re not going until Sunday, so you should still have time.
After preparing the gifts, everyone in the dormitory was quite excited.
Finally, the lights went out.
After a period of darkness, their emergency lights came back on.
Xiaoqi sat down and practiced calligraphy for a while before climbing back onto the bed.
I reorganized the memo and recorded the things I needed to do but had not done yet. I felt that there were too many things to do and I couldn't distinguish the priorities. She is a student, and her main job should still be studying. Other things should only assist in her learning progress.
Xiaoqi took a picture of the two words he practiced at night: "自慰". He posted it on WeChat Moments to remind himself.
Then turn off the lights and go to bed.
