Chapter 244
Xiao Qi moved Jiajia's luggage back to the dormitory, which was on the fifth floor without an elevator. Everything had to be carried up by hand.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi was quite strong. Otherwise, moving such a large suitcase up the stairs would have been difficult.
After informing the dorm supervisor and registering Jiajia, Xiao Qi took her to the cafeteria for a meal.
For the first meal, Xiao Qi still took Jiajia to the school cafeteria.
Enhua University's large cafeteria was beautiful, and the food was clean, though the flavors were relatively light. Since the little girl had just arrived, Xiao Qi was worried about her getting a stomachache if they went to the student street, so they went to the cafeteria.
Everything was new and exciting for Jiajia since it was her teacher's school. The university was so big that even the cafeteria seemed larger than the teaching building at her junior high.
There was even a new district and an old district.
It was the day before vacation, so the school was relatively empty. The cafeteria was the same, with most students leaving in the afternoon.
Some of the classmates were local to the alliance city, and basically went home for the weekends, let alone for the National Day holiday.
The class monitor had also sent a message in the group chat telling everyone to be safe over the National Day and did a tally of the students staying on campus during the holiday. Xiao Qi felt that the class monitor was quite responsible.
When Li Weijin saw that Xiao Qi was not going home for the National Day holiday on the list of students staying on campus, he inexplicably felt a little excited. However, because his injured foot was not yet healed, his uncle Rong picked him up from school and took him home after class...
The cafeteria was spacious but not very crowded. There was still a wide variety of food available.
With the self-service model, Xiao Qi let Jiajia take whatever she wanted while she paid with her student card.
Before Jiajia came to visit, Lady Liang had first transferred 5,000 yuan to Xiao Qi, intending it to cover Jiajia's expenses over the next few days.
Of course, Xiao Qi did not need the money and was not lacking funds.
She had told Lady Liang about her part-time work on campus and winning prize money in a singing competition.
After hearing about it, Lady Liang did not insist on giving the money. She just felt that the young girl was very capable and knew how to handle herself well. Although giving a lot of money to her naive daughter and telling her not to spend it recklessly was unlikely to work, she wanted to find other ways to help the capable young girl.
She suddenly felt the teacher's temperament had become even better since starting university, with a kind of inexplicably powerful aura.
After finishing her stretching routine, Xiao Qi returned to the dorm to shower while Jiajia sat at the computer processing her photos.
She processed them very carefully. After finishing, she edited them into a video and posted it on Douyin.
She was finally by the teacher's side again. Although during this time, her Douyin works also gained some popularity, with several thousand likes and occasionally over ten thousand, it was not even comparable to the teacher's Douyin posts.
After editing the video, she happily posted it and couldn't resist browsing Douyin.
When Xiao Qi came out after her shower, she saw the little girl engrossed in Douyin.
"Lady Liang did say I should supervise you to do your homework during the vacation," she said.
"It's fine, there's very little homework. I can finish it in the last day, no, half a day," Jiajia said unconcernedly.
Xiao Qi shook her head, thinking since it was only the first day she wouldn't push it.
She started her daily routine, beginning with calligraphy practice.
Practicing calligraphy had become a habit ingrained in Xiao Qi's bones. She felt the process of practice calmed her mood and settled her state. Doing calligraphy first before starting other studies put her in an optimal focused state and greatly increased her efficiency.
Jiajia had originally been engrossed in Douyin, but inadvertently glanced up and saw the teacher sitting properly and seriously, completely focused on her calligraphy practice. There were occasional sounds of frolicking from the corridor, and constant music from her Douyin feed, and from outside the window - she wasn't sure where - there were sporadic noisy and musical sounds.
But the teacher seemed oblivious to it all, quietly writing her calligraphy. She was completely immersed in it.
Jiajia knew the teacher's calligraphy was already extremely good. She also followed Enhua University's official Douyin and occasionally saw posts of Teacher Xiao Qi. But seeing a teacher who could write so beautifully still diligently practicing calligraphy and taking it more seriously than anyone else, she didn't disturb the teacher and quietly took out her homework, turned off her phone, and started doing it.
Homework she usually hated so much didn't seem so annoying or difficult now. When she encountered problems, she took out her phone to look up the answers, whereas before she would have just copied them outright. But today she carefully read through the material to understand it before turning her phone off, redoing the problem herself, and then checking the answer.
The half hour of calligraphy practice time passed quickly.
Xiao Qi habitually cleaned up her brush, ink, and paper. Just as she stood up, the mechanical sound rang out: "Host diligently studying has brought progress and positive energy to those around her. Reward: host physique +1. Host's original physique was an ordinary healthy human. After +1 physique is now a strong healthy human."
