A few days later, the list of winners for the commendation conference came down, and Zhou Xiaotong’s name was indeed on it.
Lin Qiu also saw this list. It was open to the whole school, and all the winners were outstanding.
Lin Qiu specially brought a gift to Zhou Xiaotong, but as soon as he was halfway, Li Yuqing stopped him: "Lin Qiu, I just learned something related to your girlfriend."
Lin Qiu stopped immediately: "Speak."
Li Yuqing looked around specifically and pulled Lin Qiu aside: "The May Fourth Commendation Conference is coming soon. Have you read the list of winners this time? Zhou Xiaotong's name is on it."
"Yeah." Lin Qiu said he knew.
"Zhou Xiaotong is on the list. Was it recommended by someone?" Li Yuqing asked again.
"Ah?" Lin Qiu looked confused: "Xiaotong's grades are very good and she has won many certificates. It is normal to be commended."
"No, what I mean is that Zhou Xiaotong deserves this certificate. No one is causing trouble behind his back, right?"
Li Yuqing asked Lin Qiu very puzzled.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because there was a rumor in the school two days ago, saying that you were the one who got in the way and pushed Zhou Xiaotong to the list of winners." Li Yuqing said in a low voice.
"Oh my god, how can I have such great ability?" Lin Qiu even wanted to laugh a little: "The teachers in our school have always been fair and upright. The May Fourth Commendation Conference is a very important occasion for the school. No matter how powerful I am, Even if you have the power, you can’t do this.”
"I think so too." Li Yuqing agreed: "But they said that the way you interfered was to find a foreign teacher."
He looked at Lin Qiu's increasingly frowning brows and patiently explained: "Some people say that Zhou Xiaotong won so many certificates in this competition because you paid for her to hire foreign aid."
"Xiaotong was also very good at studies, so why are there rumors like this again?" Lin Qiu could tell that there must be someone behind the scenes who couldn't stand Zhou Xiaotong, and that's why he did this.
"Thank you for telling me these things. I'll give you this bag of beef." Lin Qiu took out a bag of beef and stuffed it into Li Yuqing's arms.
"Then why am I so embarrassed?" Li Yuqing said this while keeping his eyes on the beef in his arms.
Lin Qiu smiled: "Thank you for providing me with so much information during this period. It doesn't matter if I treat you to something to eat. Just accept it."
Li Yuqing ate beef with peace of mind this time. In order to maintain his dignity in the student union, he had not eaten meat for more than a month.
Now that he had some meat in his mouth, he felt like he was in heaven.
The two exchanged pleasantries and then separated. Li Yuqing returned to the dormitory with the bag of beef. Sun Fengmao suddenly felt something was wrong.
"You still have living expenses to buy meat. I thought it would be good to eat your pure white set meal." He was mocking Li Yuqing's usual diet.
In order to save money, Li Yuqing usually only eats vegetarian rice, vegetarian noodles, steamed buns, and occasionally some fried cabbage.
These are all white, so Sun Fengmao joked that this was a pure white set meal.
Li Yuqing ignored him: "It's none of your business."
Sun Fengmao hated others ignoring him, so he directly reached into Li Yuqing's bag of beef and took out two of them.
"I enjoy a good life, but I don't know how to share it with my roommates. It would be embarrassing for me to take the initiative to speak." He said this, but he stuffed every bit of beef into his mouth.
Li Yuqing felt a little distressed, but didn't say anything. He didn't want to quarrel in the dormitory anymore, which would not only waste his mood, but also waste his time.
Then he walked to the library on his own.
Sun Fengmao looked at Li Yuqing's back suspiciously, she felt something was wrong.
Where does Li Yuqing’s beef come from? At their time, beef was not something ordinary people could afford, especially braised beef in bags, which was expensive.
Only rich people would buy them as gifts.
Rich people?
Sun Fengmao suddenly thought of Lin Qiu, and his eyes flickered as if he had thought of something.
When Lin Qiu and Zhou Xiaotong met, Zhou Xiaotong was in a good mood, smiling, and the corners of his mouth didn't even drop.
"Xiaotong is so awesome. We brought you a small cake to congratulate you for being so outstanding." Lin Qiu picked up the small cake.
"Thank you, I never thought I would be on the list this time." Zhou Xiaotong felt a little embarrassed when he heard the compliment.
"I also brought cakes to your roommates, but they were cut into pieces. Don't mind it." Lin Qiu smiled and handed things to the roommates.
The roommates also laughed non-stop: "We are really blessed by Xiaotong to be able to eat such good food."
The price of cakes in Beijing is not very cheap. This kind of special cut cake is only eaten on birthdays.
The roommates were all flattered.
"It's okay. I've become a gangster in rumors. How could I still mind this cake?" Lin Qiu joked.
"Hahaha." Zhou Xiaotong also laughed.
Seeing that both of them were able to laugh at themselves, the roommates knew that they must have let go of the rumor, especially since Zhou Xiaotong would not feel uncomfortable hearing these words.
Everyone chatted happily together.
"What are Xiaotong going to wear to the May 4th Commendation Conference in two days?" asked a roommate.
"Just the clothes I usually wear, a white shirt and my brown long skirt." Zhou Xiaotong said, her mother has a very good aesthetic, and she has inherited her mother's aesthetic. The clothes she chooses are natural and natural. It fits her temperament very well.
"For such an important occasion that day, I should dress up more beautifully." A roommate said.
Lin Qiu also felt that she hadn't taken Zhou Xiaotong to buy clothes for a long time: "Even if it's not for the commendation meeting, you can still dress up a little better. Let's go shopping tomorrow and pick out some clothes for you."
"Wow~ You two are so in love!" A roommate joked from the side.
Zhou Xiaotong's face suddenly turned red: "We just... bought some clothes and fell in love there."
"I'm just helping you choose. Whatever clothes Xiaotong buys will look good." Lin Qiu also said with a smile.
He specifically used the word "buy" to tell Zhou Xiaotong's roommate that Zhou Xiaotong did not spend his money and bought the clothes on her own.
He didn't want others to think that Zhou Xiaotong relied on him, and he also knew that Zhou Xiaotong didn't want to live on a man.
"Xiaotong has a good sense of aesthetics and the clothes she picks are all very nice. I also bought some nice clothes with her."
...
Lin Qiu took Zhou Xiaotong to the mall to pick out an elegant yet graceful long dress. It was a floral dress that could cover the entire leg. The cut was appropriately waisted, depicting Zhou Xiaotong's slender waist that could not be grasped. When I came out, I took a photo of a pair of small leather shoes, which made Zhou Xiaotong look cute and elegant.
Jin Zuihui's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Xiaotong like this. Zhou Xiaotong looked good today and was very sunny.
