Chapter 79 College Dream



The plane to Japan roared across the night sky.

I don’t know if I will pass by Lushan City.

Dadong saw that Qi Wei had been grinning foolishly since he got on the car and now on the plane, holding his cell phone and looking at it from time to time. He was simply a lunatic.

Qi Wei was looking at his phone at this moment. It had been switched to airplane mode, but he still opened WeChat and laughed foolishly. There was a new friend in WeChat.

The name is Seven.

He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. When he was looking for a travel guide to Japan, he actually saw her. She was learning Japanese.

So she is also looking for some books related to Japan.

Not only did he add WeChat, but he also chatted with her for a few minutes. The other party actually told him that he could go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and that the nearby Ginkaku-ji Temple was also nice.

I heard that he went to Japan and said that if he saw any interesting places, he could share them.

He left a message to the other party, saying that his name was Qi Wei and his WeChat name was a string of symbols followed by the word "time".

The other party also left him a message with his name, Su Xiaoqi.

In fact, he already knew her name, but the other party told him something different.

Dadong leaned over to take a look and saw a WeChat friend adding interface. It was just each other's names, no content at all. What was so interesting about it?

After a while, he suddenly realized: "You added that girl's WeChat? Sure! Real people don't show their faces!"

Qi Wei just smiled foolishly and didn't care at all when he was punched.

Linzi next door played games too late last night and is now sleeping soundly with his saliva dripping out.

There was an endless night sky outside the window. Qi Wei wished he could turn the plane back immediately. Then he thought of what she said about sharing the fun things he encountered with her. He suddenly felt like he had a mission on this trip. His mind was full of her every frown and smile. He felt a little dizzy. Her voice was so nice. He should have talked to her earlier.

Xiaoqi jumped into the swimming pool, and the water submerged her. She had a mysterious feeling of sinking and floating up, which made her feel dizzy.

After practicing swimming for so long, Xiaoqi no longer just practices for the sake of winning awards. Now he feels that swimming is really a very comfortable sport that relaxes the body and mind.

Running makes her feel open-minded and helps her get rid of depression, but it also makes her feel tired. She feels very exhausted after each run and sweats profusely, just like practicing external martial arts skills to hone her muscles and bones.

But swimming is a different feeling. It may be more like practicing internal energy. The whole body is supported by the water, which makes you feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

The English tutoring class in the afternoon went smoothly, and Xiaoqi felt that because Liang Jiajia liked filming, it also trained her. She saw the Douyin video that Jiajia sent her, and it was filmed very well. She didn't feel nervous at all in the camera and was very relaxed.

When she first knew she was filming and editing the footage, she felt a little uncomfortable. But after a few times, she is no longer so nervous or afraid. This is a rare experience.

She remembered that when she was in school, she was nervous when she stood up to answer questions. If she had to go to the podium to give a speech, her hands would shake. She also had a problem of frequent urination due to nervousness.

Making mistakes in the college entrance examination is also a problem. I want to go to the toilet when I get nervous. I dare not drink water during the exam. I went to the toilet several times before the exam, but I always felt like going to the toilet and my thoughts were distracted.

I’ve been exercising more recently, and now I don’t have to run to the bathroom as soon as I sit down to study.

But in the afternoon, Jia Jia said that she had classmates who wanted to learn English. Xiao Qi thought about it and decided to refuse. Although she wanted the money very much, after all, the source of tutoring money was clear and better, but teaching 7 students at the same time, and at Jia Jia's house, was already quite tiring. It would not be a good idea to have too many students. No matter how many people there were, no one might learn well.

There was also the guy that Xiaoqi met in the library this morning. He was so tall and handsome. Xiaoqi didn't expect that he would take the initiative to chat with her and even add her on WeChat.

This was something Xiaoqi had never experienced before, so she added the guy on WeChat without thinking.

Then when I heard that the other party was going to Japan for a trip, I was very envious and boldly asked him to share if he came across anything interesting.

Xiaoqi started learning Japanese when she was interested in these things. She felt that learning the language by rote memorization would not be enough, and she should learn more about other knowledge, culture and customs.

This is what it means to truly learn a language, not just to get a certificate.

After so many years of learning English, Xiaoqi was still confused, so she wanted to be more proactive when learning Japanese.

But that guy is really handsome. Xiao Qi thought about it and felt that he seemed to be taller than Brother Lin Min. He had a very sunny temperament, the kind of person that Xiao Qi envied.

She has a sunny temperament and a sunny smile. I always feel that such a person must have a smooth life and has probably never suffered any hardship since childhood.

At the beginning, she thought Liu Shaowei was like this, so she was always attracted to him unconsciously.

After thinking about all sorts of random things, Xiao Qi began to concentrate on swimming. She swam one lap, two laps, and three laps. Comparing her swimming skills with the new watch and the interface in front of her, she felt that she was not only swimming more easily, but also faster than before.

Today is Thursday, the official Ghost Festival. Her parents called her and told her not to go out at night. Her father said that Mr. Huang over there called him again and asked him to do more. Su Youfu sounded excited because he could earn enough for his children's tuition.

In fact, he hadn't been making winnowing baskets lately. He'd been making bamboo baskets and bags instead. The villagers were gossiping a lot, because there were few secrets there. After dinner, everyone would just wander in and anyone could come in. They'd say he was desperate for money, that these things couldn't be eaten or drunk, and were useless, and that he wouldn't be able to sell them. Even his mother jumped in, pointing at him and scolding him, saying he was hopeless and wishful thinking, that he wouldn't work properly and would starve to death sooner or later and be a burden to the family.

Xiaoqi's next tutoring time is next Tuesday, but she has to learn Japanese on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and also practice swimming. She has a competition on the 20th, so she still can't go home. Fortunately, it is convenient for her to call her parents now.

I was quite busy today and didn't want to tell my parents. In fact, I was not only outside at night, but also soaking in the pool. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when I finished swimming.

The gym closed at 10 o'clock and started packing up and kicking people out at 9:30.

Xiaoqi took a shower and waited for the coach to go together.

Wu Peirong's home is right next to the gymnasium. She is now considered an older single person and has devoted herself to the sports career. She has no time to find a boyfriend.

She is also from the countryside, not as remote as Gumula Village, and is an hour's drive from Lushan City.

In the village, she was considered a remarkable girl. She had bought a house in the city at such a young age. Of course, some people said she was stupid, asking why a girl should buy a house. Her parents also didn't understand her. They thought she should buy a house for her younger brother. What did a girl need a house for? Anyway, because of this, she almost fell out with her family. They thought she was selfish, heartless, didn't miss home, and was ungrateful...

Today is the Ghost Festival, and her family called her to come back. She originally thought they wanted to go home for dinner, but her mother talked about buying a house on the phone again, asking her to help her brother. Her brother is getting married, and the daughter has found a house for her to buy.

Wu Peirong was in a low mood.

Back then, she went to college because her family had to pay high tuition fees for her younger brother.

Wu Peirong was particularly envious when she saw her new student, who was full of energy and looked bookish.

"In half a month you will be going to college. You will be a college student soon. That's great."

Xiaoqi felt that the coach was in a bad mood. When she first met the coach, she thought she was a very heroic, independent and powerful girl. It was rare for her to express her emotions in such a tone. She was usually very encouraging and decisive.

"Well, teacher, you are amazing. I heard from my aunt that you bought a house near the gymnasium. I admire you very much." Xiaoqi really felt that there were too many college students, especially girls like herself who had average test scores but few could buy a house by themselves in their twenties.

"That's nothing special. It's just a mortgage. Our swimming team happened to have a group buy for over 5,000 yuan per square meter. I saved a little money over the years and borrowed some from friends to pay the down payment. Now I still have to pay over 2,000 yuan in mortgage payments every month."

"Coach, you're really amazing. Houses around here are going for around 10,000 now, and if you resell them, they'll double in value. That's what many people earn in their lifetime."

Wu Peirong was somewhat proud of this. At first, many people in the team did not want this quota, but she bought it decisively, borrowed money, and asked her parents for help. Her parents scolded her and refused to give her the money. They said that they would only lend her money if the house was registered in her brother's name. She gritted her teeth and bought it. Now her parents are urging her to sell the house because the housing prices have risen. Her parents think that it is useless for a girl to have a house, and it would be more practical to sell the house and use the money to buy a house for their son.

She didn't want the house to be in her brother's name in the first place, and now she's even more reluctant to sell it to help her brother buy a new one.

But what can I say to my 17-year-old student? I guess she won’t understand even if I tell her.

"You should study hard. It's really good to have the opportunity to go to college. I just don't have the opportunity, so I have to guard a house. Come on, coach has high hopes for you." Wu Peirong patted Xiaoqi's shoulder.

Feeling that the little girl seemed to have grown a little taller, she smiled.

Xiaoqi said goodbye to the coach at the intersection.

I felt inexplicably heavy in my heart, because the coach really wanted to go to school.

For most people, college life is worthless, but for some people, going to college is a dream.
