Chapter 459: Extra 3: Small Group

Tang Qiu originally thought that it would be difficult to get along with his new roommate, but surprisingly, there was no conflict between the two of them.

Vidane was indeed not easy to get close to, but he did not deliberately distance himself from her.

Return to the dormitory before 10 o’clock, do not interfere with each other’s private space, and inform in advance when using public areas.

As long as the above demands are met, Vidian can basically live in peace, which is not difficult for Tang Qiu.

What surprised Tang Qiu even more was what he saw and heard while working part-time as a student.

“You’re lucky. We only have two part-time jobs in the training hall this year, and one has already been taken.” said the staff member in charge of student part-time jobs.

“Excuse me, are the jobs here popular?”

“Of course, the government-set minimum hourly wage for part-time jobs is four dollars, and the college has sufficient funding. The hourly wage for this position is eight dollars, two hours a day, which is a good way for many people to save pocket money.” The staff member collected the Chinese girl’s form as he spoke.

“Thank you.” Tang Qiu bowed slightly.

“You’re welcome. You did a good job yesterday. To be honest, I don’t like those arrogant guys either.” The staff member winked at him kindly.

“We start work at 7pm, and we can leave once we have cleaned the stadium. No one keeps a strict count of working hours, so you know what I mean.”

On the way, Tang Qiu once again felt that not everyone was hostile to her.

He Ran helped him pass the exam smoothly on the first day. Today, the school staff were also very friendly to her. Even her roommate with a cold face did not seem that difficult to get along with.

That beautiful and incredible face appeared in my mind.

“Maybe I can take the initiative to communicate.” Tang Qiu said to himself.

Just as she arrived at the school gymnasium and opened the door with the spare key, she found that someone was already inside.

The blonde roommate was standing there with cleaning tools.

The other part-time worker the staff mentioned turned out to be Vidyan?!

How could this be?!——
“Why is this happening?!” Musk, carrying a mop, hid in the bushes behind the gymnasium with He Ran.

“Why would I have to clean the gymnasium secretly?”

“Just because you lent me 500 dollars for those weird things you did before.” He Ran lowered his body with a broom.

“That’s not something strange, it’s a great invention!”

“Your words would have been more convincing if they hadn’t blown the roof off the school…”

The two people argued with each other for a while, and finally got back to the topic.

“He, does your angel still need to work? She can even buy the entire school, right?”

“It’s our father’s request. We have to earn at least $400 by working part-time every semester. Vidian is not good at this, but she is a bit strong-willed.” He Ran’s words were filled with special love for his sister.

“Hey, so you asked me to help your sister reduce her working hours? You are really my good friend.” Musk rolled his eyes and sneered.

“I got the contact information of the girl in the ancient literature department. Do you want to make a deal?” He Ran looked like he had Musk in his hands.

“Damn it! You win!” Musk picked up his mop depressedly and walked over.

“Wait! Vidian has been very perceptive since she was a child. We have to be careful when going in.” He Ran stopped his friend and pointed to the high window.

“What? It’s six meters high!”

As soon as Musk finished speaking, He Ran had already stepped on the walls on both sides repeatedly and grabbed the edge of the window with an incredible movement. After two stretches, he flipped in.

The whole movement is done in one go.

A rope that had been prepared long ago was thrown down.

On the other hand, the relationship between the two women is also slowly changing.

“Using this handle, you can push the water down so it doesn’t splash onto your sleeves.”

“That’s not how you use a mop. You have to point it in one direction.”

“Put it down. I’ll take care of this. You go clean that table.”

Seeing Vidian who had no work experience at all, Tang Qiu almost instinctively went up to help, and the proud blonde girl did not resist and started cleaning under the command of her roommate.

An hour later, the two of them were close enough to chat with each other.

“Vidiane, which country are you from?”

“U.K”

“Why do this?”

“I have to make four hundred dollars.”

“But you shouldn’t be short of money, right?”

“This is what my father asked for.”

“Father, what you said is…”

Boom! ! ! ! !
There was a sound of something heavy falling from the second floor! The atmosphere in the gymnasium suddenly became tense.

The two girls looked at each other.

“Is there a thief?” Tang Qiu asked in a low voice.

Vidyan on the side shook her head and walked straight towards the second floor.

“Oh! We’d better notify the campus police, right? Hey! Wait for me!” Tang Qiu shouted from behind, and when she saw that her roommate ignored her, she had no choice but to pick up a mop and follow.

The power upstairs was not turned on, and the entire corridor was pitch black. From time to time, the sound of girls’ shoes stepping on the ground could be heard.

Da~da~da~
Tang Qiu felt that his hands were somewhat out of control, but looking at the steady steps of the British girl in front of him, he mustered up the courage and did not run away.

The door of the storage room was opened, and the sound just now probably came from here.

In the dark room, you can only see things clearly with the moonlight. Apart from various sports supplies, there is a messy cabinet on the side.

no one.

“Vidian, let’s leave, there’s nothing here.” Tang Qiu urged from behind.

The blonde did not answer, and a 3D view that could be disassembled slowly unfolded in her retina.

Half a minute later, she came to an inconspicuous cabinet and stretched out her hand to pull it open.

click!
With a slight sound, two figures appeared, and Tang Qiu’s mop poked in immediately.

With the moonlight shining in, the faces of the two people became clear.

“Hey, Vidian, do you believe me if I say I’m just strolling around?” He Ran waved his hand, but Musk on the side was not so lucky, Tang Qiu’s mop was all over his head. Sometimes the friendship between young people is very simple, and a small misunderstanding in the gym quickly brought the relationship between several people closer.

Around He Ran’s brother and sister, four people formed a small group, and several people with completely different backgrounds gathered together.
–
Half a month later, in Queen’s College, a large classroom for public classes.

There was a whirlwind blowing outside the door.

Tang Qiu, carrying a bag that was not the right size, trotted into the lecture hall that could accommodate 200 people. At this time, the minute hand of the clock just pointed to the hour.

“Oh, a buzzer-beating three-pointer, perfect shot into the basket, our Miss Marathon has performed a buzzer-beating performance again today.” Musk, who was sitting high up next to He Ran, said in a broadcasting voice.

The 60-year-old professor at the podium adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, glanced at the wall clock opposite him, and then said, “Please take your seat quickly. Although you are not late, our class will start soon.”

Tang Qiu nodded, bowed slightly to the professor, and walked up the stairs with a slight breath to find his seat.

“There’s someone here.” A girl with freckles pushed the books on the table, blocking an empty seat next to her, so Tang Qiu had to move forward.

“Someone’s here.” Another male student made the same choice, and the Chinese girl had to continue moving forward.

Several people successively refused to sit in the empty seat next to Tang Qiu, as if it was arranged by someone.

Fortunately, not everyone harbors ill will towards this Chinese girl.

“Hey, Miss Marathon, this way~” Musk waved towards Tang Qiu, leaning over the people around him. He and He Ran were sitting together, while Vidian was sitting on the other side next to He Ran.

The three of them occupied a separate area – because of Vidyan’s overly beautiful face and his aura that kept strangers away, no one sat around except He Ran and his duo.

Seeing his friends, Tang Qiu smiled and moved closer.

She is now considered a member of this small group, although even she herself doesn’t know how she got in.

The blonde didn’t look at her, but just moved her body inwards a little, leaving room beside her.

Tang Qiu sat down, then placed his book on the table and said softly, “Thank you.”

“I don’t think this is worth your gratitude.” The blonde still didn’t look at her, and even if she showed concern, her words were cold.

Tang Qiu put down his backpack, and in addition to textbooks, there were more than a dozen job flyers scattered out.

Musk whistled frivolously.

During this period, Tang Qiu was a celebrity in the school. First, he got second place in the college in the entrance test for public courses (the first place was Vidian), and second, he broke the record of after-school work at Queen’s College – 22 hours a week, which was the limit allowed within the law.

What is even more surprising is Miss Tang’s ability to manage her time. She can ensure that she is never late even though she works full hours, and she never takes public transportation – she always runs.

Therefore, while Tang Qiu appeared to be unique, she also got a unique nickname – Miss Marathon.

After that, many people called her that, whether with good intentions or bad intentions.

The people she interacted with the most were only her half-sibling He Ran, and the seemingly unfocused Musk next to them.

Tang Qiu took out three cups of yogurt with special marks and stuffed them into the hands of his companions.

Miss Tang is expressing her gratitude for the care she has received during this period in this way.

He Ran put the things away, while Vidian picked up the yogurt and looked at it.

“Oh, Liberté Mediterranean series, a combination of Greek Corfu olive oil and Sicilian blood orange peel. Where did that come from?” Musk took a look at the logo above, then took a sip of the contents and licked the wrapping paper with satisfaction.

“I found a job as an intern at Rolex. These are desserts that are replacing expired products. You can take them away at will.” Tang Qiu said truthfully, without any shame for entertaining friends with expired gifts.

While licking the yogurt cup, Musk stole a glance at Vidian. He had met He Ran’s mysterious half-sister before and remembered clearly how picky she was about food.

Unexpectedly, 17-year-old Vidyan actually opened the lid and took a sip.

“Hey, man, I thought she would never eat it.” Musk nudged his friend with his arm and said in a low voice.

“When she just entered middle school, her father took her to a deserted island to survive for a week. After that, she no longer had the habit of being picky about food.” He Ran explained in a low voice.

“Gentlemen and ladies, have you finished your private conversation? If it’s not too much trouble, could you please answer the questions on the blackboard?” The professor on the podium tapped the blackboard with his pointer to remind them.

The guys shut up instantly.

“Please briefly describe the development process of the national liberation trend after World War II. This is what I just talked about. If no one can answer it, one point will be deducted from each person in that corner.” The professor pushed his glasses.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Tang Qiu stood up.

“The national liberation movement after World War II was a long process. The first climax of the current mainstream view was the South Africa Declaration in 1952. Margaret, the second princess of Britain, once…”

The Chinese girl talked freely, and the professor’s expression began to soften.

“This is a very good discussion. You can refer to the viewpoints in it in your papers. Your answer this time will be reflected in your regular scores.” The professor nodded and signaled Tang Qiu that he could sit down.

Faced with the compliments, the Chinese girl did not seem very happy, because maintaining this level of excellence in her country was already commonplace for her.

But this makes some people very unhappy.

“How are your preparations going? That country bumpkin’s arrogant look is really annoying.” Someone was whispering.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be well soon. You’ll probably be able to see her frightened little face this afternoon…”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to it…”
–
After the public class ended, students began to walk out of the lecture hall in groups of three or four.

“Hey, guys, do you want to go to the club? I met a girl recently and there is a freshman exchange meeting in the afternoon.” Musk leaned over and asked.

“It should be the girl from the Ancient Poetry Society, right? Sorry, I’m not interested in helping you chase the swan.” He Ran refused without hesitation.

Vidyan also turned her head away, obviously not interested either.

Musk finally had no choice but to look at Tang Qiu.

“Sorry, I can’t do that either.” Tang Qiu began to pack up his things quickly. “My part-time job is about to end.”

After saying that, the Chinese girl waved her hand and walked out of the classroom, with her hair tied into a ponytail that bounced with her steps.

“This girl is pretty good, would you like to consider her?” Musk nudged his friend with his elbow.

“Sorry, I prefer to use my head rather than my lower body when I think.” He Ran replied.

“It’s up to you, but if you don’t grab the good things, you might regret it later.” As Musk said this, a beautiful figure walked past him.

“Hey, Justin, baby, wait a minute.” Musk chased after a short-haired girl.

Finally, only the brother and sister were left here, and Vidian motioned her brother to follow.

“Come with me to the luxury district in Toronto later.” The blonde girl made the request straight to the point, without any intention of soliciting opinions.

“Oh? Why are you interested in those things?” He Ran was slightly surprised.

“Rolex’s exclusive VIP drinks must be thrown away when they are about to expire.” Vidian said this without further explanation.

“Really? You clearly care about others, so can’t you express it more directly? You would be cuter if you were a little gentler.” He Ran followed with some relief.
