"Putting acting skills aside, who doesn't like a boss who is good-looking, academically gifted, and talented!"
"Heh, other countries must be sweating buckets, right?"
"..."
"Look, who's exaggerating, me or them?" Yu Qi said smugly, leaving Qi Jiu somewhat helpless.
"We've now successfully entered the finals, just one step away. It seems our strength is still quite impressive."
After all, it's a semi-elimination tournament, and as time goes by, the number of teams competing in the surrounding area is visibly decreasing.
But their achievements remain.
To celebrate their current achievements, the group discussed it and decided that it would be better to go out for a meal. However, Qi Jiu, who had just turned to leave, stopped in her tracks when she saw the next match already prepared on the big screen.
"There's still an hour or two before dinner. If you want to go back to your apartment, you can go back first. I'll come find you after I finish watching this game. I want to watch the next game."
Leng Ruo blinked and subconsciously looked at the large screen outside.
"Kertan?"
Isn't this Qiqi's first opponent?
The girl nodded. "I promised him I would check on him. Now that I've made it this far, I'll stay and see."
To avoid having to find time separately later, she doesn't have that much free time.
Ktan: "..."
For the sake of a competition, these few people sacrificed their sleep time to get up and watch her match. They thought these people would go back to the apartment to catch up on sleep, but unexpectedly, they stayed as well.
As the break time slowly passed, the competition was about to begin.
As Ketan walked in through the front door of the lecture hall carrying something, he paused when he saw the figures in the audience.
He then waved to Qi Jiu. The girl nodded in response.
"Qiqi, what did you promise him? Why does he seem so happy now? He wasn't this happy when he won the game before."
Qi Jiu smiled and said, "As long as he performs well, I'll promise him that he'll be the first person to enter Xingyue before graduating."
All of them heard: "..."
No wonder, no wonder you're acting like you've been injected with chicken blood.
So that's how tempting it is. Since that's the case, there's something I'm not sure if I should say...
An hour passed quickly. An Ran and the others looked at the green marker under Ke Tan's photo and subconsciously shook their heads.
"I knew this guy was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this awesome. From the start of the competition until now, he's probably only lost to Qiqi."
For some reason, ever since she learned that Qi Jiu was an undefeated war god, she seems to see everyone as normal.
But if you think about it, someone like Ketan lost so badly to her, his image seems to have become much more impressive.
"Congratulations to Team D for another victory!"
As the host's congratulatory voice rang out, thunderous applause erupted in the lecture hall.
But this time, Ketan didn't leave as soon as the match ended, as he had done before. Instead, he looked at Qi Jiu in the audience and smiled.
He now hopes that Qi Jiu can see his shining moments.
He hoped that if he had the ability, Xingyue would definitely be able to get in.
The moment he saw Qi Jiu raise her hand to applaud him, he seemed to know the outcome.
As more and more people left the tiered classroom, Qi Jiu stood up, looked at Ke Tan on the stage, smiled, and then turned and left.
"I feel like I'm back in China, I can shock all the hotels in China." Yu Qi said with a look of nostalgia, reaching out to take the girl's arm.
"I want to eat Chinese food, but they don't even have grilled cold noodles or hand-pulled pancakes here."
Before, when I saw those overseas students returning to China and sweeping through the Chinese food market, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now, haha.
His face was full of disgust, which made Chang Xiaoyuan laugh. "You weren't like this a few days ago. Before, when you came to the US, you were flying around like a little bee!"
"And you're talking about me? I don't know who it was, but as soon as they found out there was Chinese food here, their mouths were practically watering."
Chang Xiaoyuan: "..."
Just because of one sentence, the two of them are now arguing like elementary school students.
Qi Jiu raised her hand and touched her ear, her disgust clearly visible on her face. "You're such a grown-up, how can your arguments be as annoying as flies? It's so incredibly noisy."
It's just a Chinese meal, right? As long as you have enough ingredients, you can make not only grilled cold noodles, but also grilled sweet potato noodles.
Seeing that Leng Ruoanran beside her had the same expression, she decided to use her trump card. "Want some hot pot?"
In short, the surroundings were quiet, utterly quiet.
Yu Qi and Chang Xiaoyuan seemed to have an unspoken understanding, staring intently at Qi Jiu, their surprise growing more and more obvious.
"think!"
"think!"
But then again, "Aren't there many hot pot restaurants abroad? I remember many foreigners think hot pot is a bit greasy."
Some people like hot pot, but foreigners who have never tried it seem to have some prejudice against it.
Yu Qi was deep in thought, which amused Leng Ruo.
"You know all this?" Didn't you say you'd never been abroad? You seem to know quite a bit about it.
Yu Qi chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Because I wanted to eat hot pot before, I looked at the map nearby but didn't see anything, so I searched for related posts."
Qi Jiu nodded. "But I didn't say we were going to eat at a restaurant."
This is abroad, and even if a hot pot restaurant can open here, the taste probably won't be very authentic. So if you want to eat it now, you'll have to come here yourself.
Upon receiving this result, the group immediately headed towards the fresh food supermarket outside the school.
Unexpectedly, on the way, I happened to see Erlin's vice principal talking to several men in suits.
"Seven!"
Qi Jiu, who had overheard a few words, nodded and looked at the people beside her. "Are there exchange students?"
Erling University is a highly renowned international university, so it's not surprising that it has exchange students, but this is the first time I've seen an exchange program at this crucial juncture.
There are academic competitions going on right now. Wouldn't it cause chaos to start an exchange program at this time?
The vice principal nodded. "This was agreed upon beforehand, and it just so happens to be happening now."
As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses. "At first, I also felt it was a bit inappropriate, but I thought that if students from other schools also watched the academic competition, the effect might be even better."
