Chapter 360: Early Baldness

Chapter 360

That Afternoon.

Years later, Aizhen still remembered it.

Su said she wanted to become a person who was useful to society.

Aizhen smiled indulgently. She was such a lovely 17-year-old girl, with such innocent aspirations. But it was truly beautiful.

Years later, Aizhen discovered that she had actually achieved it.

She thought it was just an unreal dream of a young girl, but she didn't expect that some people truly persevered for their dreams and made them a reality.

The boiling water was still bubbling.

Su gracefully prepared tea, but when Xiao Qi tasted it, she found it a bit too bitter.

Perhaps the water was too hot, or maybe it had been steeping for too long, causing Su to lose focus.

Xiao Qi had never tasted tea before, but after drinking the tea brewed by Yunshu, she realized that Su's tea was different.

Su seemed a bit rushed in brewing the tea, and although her movements were equally elegant, the resulting tea was either too weak or too strong, with the timing not quite right.

Especially when Mrs. Su came in, Xiao Qi suddenly felt that the taste of the tea had become bitter.

But it was just right; talking to Mrs. Su and drinking some bitter tea helped calm her nerves and keep her on track.

She didn't know if what she said was good or not.

In the end, Mrs. Su spoke up, saying, "From now on, come at this time every Monday afternoon."

Xiao Qi nodded gratefully in surprise.

Su Li saw the class monitor smile, and she smiled foolishly along with her. Then she heard her grandmother say, "Li, you come along too."

Su Li: ...What grudge or resentment? She just wanted to live a carefree life and didn't want to study...

Su Li was left behind to have dinner, while Xiao Qi and Aizhen left first. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Xiao Qi had made plans to have dinner with her roommates, and Aizhen's appetite had slowly recovered these past few days, but she still didn't eat much and went back to the apartment.

Back in the dorm, Xiao Qi went for a run first, completing her daily steps and working up a sweat. It was very refreshing.

Running helped alleviate the tension of the day.

To be honest, when she was talking to Mrs. Su, she was really nervous. Now her bones felt sour and her scalp tingled.

She felt as if those conversations were not just ordinary conversations, but rather a significant moment in her life.

After finishing, she felt a bit light-headed on her way back.

It wasn't the kind of light-headedness that comes from being emotionally satisfied, but rather a dreamlike feeling, as if she couldn't touch the ground, and she felt exhausted.

Once again, Xiao Qi admired Su Li. She actually found her grandmother kind and amiable, and they got along so well. It was no wonder she became her grandmother's favorite little darling. Under the influence of such a strong and imposing elder every day, it was no surprise that her presence and communication skills were so formidable.

As she scooped the soup with a spoon, Su Li was splashed: ...

Currently, Xiao Qi demonstrated great execution and didn't just set plans aside after making them, thinking that the tasks were completed. Instead, she genuinely started learning in an organized manner and even borrowed textbooks from higher grades.

Although the workload of her studies had increased, she still persisted in her daily jogging routine. Unlike during her last year of high school, where studying had taken a toll on her physical health, combining exercise with learning now felt quite good.

Furthermore, after a few days of consistent learning, Xiao Qi discovered that the more she used her brain, the more active it became. When she first entered university and saw the numerous subjects, she thought she wouldn't be able to handle them all. However, after a period of adjustment, she found it surprisingly manageable. Now, Xiao Qi even added more tasks for herself and found it quite satisfying. She no longer felt overwhelmed and chaotic.

Indeed, human time is flexible.

Xiao Qi still continued to tutor Li Weijin. Although the system provided money every day, Xiao Qi still didn't have an absolute sense of security and believed that earning her own money was more fulfilling. Therefore, she still valued her job and earning money.

Recently, Li Weijin had become particularly diligent in his studies. He realized that it wasn't as difficult as he had initially thought, and it was actually quite easy. Xiao Qi said he could do it, and indeed, he learned with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

On this day, while Xiao Qi was tutoring him, Li Weijin wanted to show off a little. He had been working hard recently, and he was confident that he could excel in the questions Xiao Qi gave him.

He happily solved the questions, and indeed, everything went smoothly. Hard work pays off, and his efforts weren't in vain. However, in the midst of solving the questions, he couldn't help but look up at Xiao Qi.

Seeing her serious expression while reading her book, he felt joy in his heart, especially because she was still wearing the little Buddha pendant he had given her around her neck.

His phone was placed on the desk with a hanging ornament of a small lamb.

Lately, he had been racking his brain trying to think of another gift to give Xiao Qi, but he always felt like he didn't have a good reason, and he doubted whether she would accept it.

Let's focus on the questions for now. Xiao Qi liked diligent and intelligent people. He regained his focus and quickly finished solving the questions, then handed them over to Xiao Qi.

He eagerly watched as Xiao Qi corrected them.

Seeing her ticking the answers one by one, he felt a sense of pride. He realized that he shouldn't be too arrogant and conceited. He believed that his efforts during this period of time had not been in vain and that he would soon catch up to Xiao Qi.

Feeling content in his heart, Li Weijin shifted his attention to the book beside him. It was the book Xiao Qi had just been reading.

The cover read "Java Source Code Analysis," but he flipped through it and couldn't understand anything...

Curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"This is a course we have to take in our sophomore year," Xiao Qi replied without lifting her head.

The assignments were also corrected, and almost all of them were correct, except for a small mistake in the second-to-last question.

"You've been doing really well lately. You'll definitely have no problem with the makeup exam this week," Xiao Qi said, giving Li Weijin an encouraging smile.

Her experience as a teacher taught her the importance of encouraging students, but the encouragement had to be meaningful. She acknowledged every progress made by her students, and it had a remarkable effect.

However, as Li Weijin looked at Xiao Qi's smiling face, a sense of pride as towering as the Himalayas emerged within him, but now it was slowly crumbling. He had a foreboding feeling.

"Xiao Qi, why are you already studying second-year courses?"

"I checked the school's regulations. If I complete the required credits, I can graduate early. I'm considering finishing my credits early and then taking the postgraduate entrance examination," Xiao Qi replied.

Li Weijin: ...

He had just managed to catch up with his studies and worked hard to pass the makeup exams... and now the goddess was contemplating early graduation... and the postgraduate entrance examination... Li Weijin rubbed his hair. He felt like he might go bald early. It was too difficult... He was already studying until two in the morning.

"Do you think I would look good with a bald head?" he asked, looking up.

Xiao Qi: ...???
