Chapter 233

Wu Xinyue came on stage next.

She was dressed very professionally like an office lady, looking very refined and career-oriented, forming a stark contrast with Xiao Qi just now.

Judging by her appearance alone, she looked very capable.

With long, straight black hair, black high heels, a professional skirt suit, a little skirt with a gold Gucci belt buckled on, light makeup, she gave off the air of a sophisticated career woman.

The moment she stepped on stage, she commanded attention, many boys looked at her eagerly.

After all, there were few students dressed like her, especially among the new students. Dressing like that, she looked really too good-looking to students her age. She had quite a few supporters, there was applause even before she spoke.

Wu Xinyue's face reddened slightly in spite of herself.

Even Xiao Qi felt that when Wu Xinyue came out, she could indeed be called an internet celebrity. Her makeup was also done very charmingly.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, the strong contrast emerged.

Not only did she recite from memory, but also because she didn't spend much time on it, there were some hesitations in her recitation. If it was her usual appearance, gestures and smiles that could make up for it, but because of the strong contrast with Su Xiaoqi just now, it led to her severe psychological imbalance.

She felt like she just came on stage to embarrass herself. As a result, she hurriedly finished reciting from memory and awkwardly exited the stage.

She came on stage thinking she would be the king, but turned out to be a bronze...

At this moment, the mechanical voice rang out in Xiao Qi's mind again: "Host has delivered an outstanding speech, bringing positive energy to the people around, gained 52 sincere praises, rewarded with the aura buff for 30 days."

After Xiao Qi finished her speech, her heart was still thumping faster than usual, her back was slightly sweaty, she was still nervous, but it was fine when she was on stage, it felt different once she got on stage, she didn't think too much.

This point was probably really owed to Dad's genes, fearless and dauntless.

Hearing the system's voice now, she was a bit confused again, what was the aura buff? She felt like she didn't have anything like an aura on her.

After getting off stage, she relaxed all at once, feeling like she could lean back in her chair, soft and cushy, now she wished she could just lie in bed and sleep, forming a shape of the character 八.

The competition wasn't over yet, other than a small number who came to cheer for their classmates and already left, her class group chat was very lively now, few people left because they were all saying in the group to wait until Xiao Qi got first place before leaving.

Xiao Qi sat and continued listening to the speeches of the candidates after her.

The more she listened, the more it seemed to her that she was awesome, because she felt the others were mostly reciting from memory.

There were also a few students reciting the content they wrote themselves, but it didn't feel as natural as Xiao Qi's, Honey recorded Xiao Qi's speech scene just now.

The language sense, the overall feeling, still wasn't as good as Xiao Qi's, or rather the difference was really quite obvious.

Xiao Qi was nervous herself, but her roommates all felt it was completely unnecessary, they weren't on the same level at all.

The competition result was naturally without any suspense, Xiao Qi won first place.

There was no bonus this time, but the school sponsor Mrs. Su personally presented her with a watch.

Xiao Qi was quite surprised, she didn't expect it to be a watch, she thought it would be a pen or something.

Opening the box, it was a silver Longines, very simple and unadorned feeling. Xiao Qi had gone shopping in watch stores before, it seemed to be over ten thousand.

This prize...was too generous!

Mrs. Su smiled, "I hope Huanhua is proud of you."

Xiao Qi's face immediately turned red, she really liked hearing those words, but hearing them from Mrs. Su's mouth, it seemed to take on a different flavor, containing the encouragement and expectations of an elder. She nodded heavily.

It felt as if her whole body was filled with strength, very spirited.

After the competition ended, Xiao Qi and her roommates were very excited.

The classmates who went to listen to the speeches together also felt quite thrilled, inexplicably having a sense of collective honor for the class.

Especially classmate Li Weijin even proposed treating everyone to a meal, over thirty people came, since it was Friday too and everyone else had nothing to do, they readily agreed.

They found a bar on the student street, with singing, dining and drinking all available. The biggest private room could fit sixty to seventy people without a problem, over thirty people all came and it didn't feel cramped.

Xiao Qi wasn't good at socializing, but since it was because of her speech competition that everyone gathered, whether she was good at it or not, she really couldn't run off.

Her roommates also came along. The people from the dorm room across actually all came too. It wasn't surprising for Su Li to come with Li Weijin, but it was unexpected that Chu Yu actually came too. Xiao Qi still felt quite puzzled actually.

She always felt that Chu Yu was hostile towards her, this kind of feeling, there's no need to spell it out between girls, you can just sense something's not right in reality.

She also didn't know why.

The class monitor and vice monitor had come, after all the class monitor called in the group, vice monitor Yue Lai always fully supported monitor Cai Yu. The two of them standing together looked quite well-matched.

Publicity committee member Chen Daen was also there, as well as Xiao Qi's front deskmate Chen Hanhe.

In short, over half of the class committee members had come.

Among the girls, Su Li seemed rather hot-tempered, her popularity didn't seem great. It was probably because of her previous fight with Chu Yu when she lost face. Anyway, later there were a lot of rumors about her bad temper.

Girls had thin skin, they were also unwilling to actively fawn over her. She did get along fine with the boys in class however, chatting and laughing.

It hadn't been long since the start of school, it was still boys on one side, girls on the other, sitting distinctly apart, somewhat shy.

Only Su Li and vice monitor Yue Lai were sitting among the boys, occasionally bursting into loud laughter.

You could see the difference between people at times like this. Some sat watching the scene, some very proactively picked up the menu, asked the girls what dishes they wanted to order.

The monitor belonged to the latter, very thoughtful and considerate.

Since it was the first collective activity, everyone acted rather modest, they just let the monitor decide on the menu.

He ordered roast meat, snacks, and even secretly brought in fruit beer. The school didn't allow selling alcohol to students. If discovered, there would be confiscation.

The fruit beer could just pass as a beverage, closing one eye.

Li Weijin sat in the corner, not very enthusiastic, browsing the song list. He was thinking Xiao Qi sang very well, he wondered what songs she wanted to sing?

He wanted to look at Su Xiaoqi, but she was sitting between her roommates, proper and demure. She even took out a water bottle she brought and opened it to drink some water.

With many people, the private room felt a bit hot. She took off her outerwear. Inside she wore a light pink babydoll blouse, looking even smaller than usual.

Her cheeks were also slightly flushed.

Thinking of how she chatted away freely on stage but now seemed a bit restrained sitting here, he felt his clavicle grow slightly red again. His expression was still serious and aloof on the surface.

Taking the menu for ordering dishes handed over by the monitor, thinking of how she sipped water in small mouthfuls, he went ahead and ordered many all kinds of drinks, fruit juices, as well as mineral water, flower tea, fruit tea.
