Shengxia therefore learned that Qin Ge was busy transferring to Tianyu headquarters, and was busy contacting the foreign company as soon as he arrived at the headquarters. Therefore, she kissed Qin Ge several times in the car at the school gate at noon, got out of the car with her things, and asked Qin Ge to drive slowly on the road.
In the lecture hall, Shengxia was wearing a newly bought sweater and jacket, counting the days on his fingers.
Counting the days, there were only two weeks until the final exams... Then she could have winter vacation... During the vacation, she could go back home and spend every day with Qin Ge! They would just wait for the Chinese New Year, and then they would go back to Qingshui together. She hadn't been back for a long time. The last time she called home, she heard her grandmother seemed to be crying. She missed her grandmother too and wanted to go home.
Shengxia was thinking about this when Feng Caiwei next to her reminded her that, regarding the exam, in addition to the paper test score, the Introduction to Linguistics course also had a practical project to choose from.
Jinghai's Foreign Languages Department has always advocated that teaching and time should complement each other and advance together, and focuses on cultivating students' ability to combine theory with practice. Therefore, when a major takes an exam, there will definitely be a course with a practical topic.
The students below were talking and discussing with each other which topic to choose.
Shengxia glanced at the blackboard. The counselor had listed three or four topics on the blackboard. The students could pair up and choose any one of them. The practical topics would be scored from one to ten points, which would be included in the final professional course grades.
Shengxia looked around and saw the translation job at first glance. She could translate an article into Chinese and then write a report, which she could do by herself.
Many people have already started raising their hands to apply for projects, some for themselves, and some for their team members. Shengxia has made her choice and won't join in the fun. She'll apply later when the crowds thin out. She also wants to wait until the exams are over and winter vacation begins, so she can go see a movie with Qin Ge...
Just as he was thinking, Feng Caiwei poked him: "Hey, Shengxia, do you understand the fourth topic, translation theory?"
"Translation theory...?" Shengxia looked at the blackboard. These topics were arranged according to their difficulty. The article translation she chose was the first one. The subsequent ones for Shengxia became more difficult, especially the fourth one, which required her to set up a simple simulated simultaneous interpretation meeting by herself.
Among the many students who signed up for the topics just now, no one chose the fourth topic.
Sheng Xia thought Feng Caiwei was going to choose, so she advised her, "It's difficult. Not to mention that we don't have the equipment, it will be inconvenient to find people when the time comes. Look, no one has signed up for this project. Why are you still trying to get a few people to come over..."
When Feng Caiwei heard this, she felt that she was right to ask Shengxia!
After studying with Shengxia for a semester, she also felt that although Shengxia was not very serious about studying and wanted to sleep as soon as the class started, Shengxia actually had her own rhythm.
For example, she will sleep "selectively". She will fall asleep when she knows something, and will raise her head to listen when she doesn't know something. Although she is reluctant, for Shengxia who loves to sleep, her method of sleeping and studying is quite efficient.
Shengxia was usually quick-witted. Just now, he was discussing the fourth project with the usually good students in his class. They all said it was difficult, afraid of being embarrassed if they didn't do it well. But they couldn't seem to pinpoint anything else besides "difficult." They couldn't pinpoint the specific "difficulty" either, unlike Shengxia, who could immediately identify several specific points.
Feng Caiwei asked again, "So what do you think... can we do it together? Although it's a bit tiring, I can find a way to solve the equipment problem."
Shengxia unscrewed the thermos cup: "Okay..."
"Alright! Just your words are enough! Let's do it!!"
Before Shengxia could even finish the sentence "your uncle," Feng Caiwei beside her suddenly stood up and said, "Professor Gao, Shengxia and I have chosen the fourth topic!!"
"Pooh! Cough cough cough!" Shengxia almost spit out a mouthful of hot water from her nose, and was pulled up from her seat by Feng Caiwei.
"Shengxia and I are in a group. We've chosen the fourth topic, which is to organize a simple simultaneous interpretation conference. Is that right, Shengxia?"
Shengxia turned around and saw that all the eyes of the more than one hundred people in the classroom were focused on the two of them. They looked as if they were looking at two warriors and two fools.
midsummer:"...."
Okay, sir!
Professor Gao was very pleased: "Great! Our Jinghai students should have this spirit of daring to be the first in the world, exploring and moving forward, and bravely climbing to the top! Classmates, applause to the only two of us who have completed the fourth project!"
There was a burst of applause from the audience. Feng Caiwei was very excited. Shengxia's face twitched and she just wanted to pour the hot water in her hand on Feng Caiwei.
In the evening, Qin Ge came to the school to pick up Shengxia. As soon as Shengxia got in the car, she threw herself into Qin Ge's arms, digging everywhere with her claws like a rabbit with its tail on fire.
“I’m so angry, so angry, I’m going to be pissed off to death!!”
Shengxia was furious. Qin Ge was confused and buried her head in his chest, refusing to look up. Qin Ge couldn't drive, so he put his hand on the little head that was upset and said, "You're so angry. Who provoked you?"
"It's that Feng Caiwei! I'm so pissed! Our Foreign Languages Department was choosing projects tonight... I said I wanted to choose the first one, but I was just a little late, and she dragged me into choosing the fourth one! The fourth one was the hardest...! The fourth one was the hardest...! Everyone was avoiding me...! Now everyone in the department knows I'm that idiot...!"
Qin Ge looked at her with her pouting lips and red eyes, and she was about to cry, and he felt like laughing.
"Well, why is it difficult?"
Shengxia leaned back in her chair in anger. "It's just hard, much harder than the first one! I could have finished something in two days, but now it's taking me half a month! No..., that crappy project might not even be finished in half a month! I was thinking of going out with you, going to the movies together! Now, everything is gone!"
Shengxia felt like crying as she spoke, not knowing if it was because of the blow this incident had dealt to her. She dug a piece of paper out of Qin Ge's pocket, wiped her nose with it, and then threw it back into Qin Ge's hand. "I think Feng Caiwei is here to bring bad luck to me! This time when I get home I must ask grandma to take me to have my fortune told! Why am I so unlucky!"
Qin Ge suppressed his laughter and said, "You originally wanted to choose the first one, so why did they drag you into choosing the fourth one for no reason?"
Shengxia coughed, feeling a little guilty: "Who knew she would only listen halfway... I wanted to say "OK" but she only listened to "OK"!
Shengxia told Qin Ge about the misunderstanding in class. Qin Ge was a little speechless after listening: "Next time, talk to others nicely. Since you promised this time, do it well. If you want to see a movie, let's go to see it this weekend, okay?"
