Chapter 290 Calling Grandma
Chapter 290 Calling Grandma
Because Shang Qing's class team performed so well, Instructor Yu allowed them to return to the dorms half an hour early. The chants on the way back were even louder, a testament to their joy. The desire to win is essential. Especially for these "warriors" who had emerged from the sea of testants, it mattered even more.
Ji Xun didn't train that night. He wasn't sure what had happened, but he was called away by the instructor at dinner time. When he returned, the evening training was already in its final stages, so he naturally had no idea Shang Qing had been bullied.
Because he didn't see Shang Qing's team, he felt a little strange and asked the classmate next to him, "Where is the team next to us?"
Wu Yi looked at his handsome classmate's anxious expression and quickly replied, "Oh, their team sang well, so the chief instructor let them go first. I'm so envious."
"Oh, I see." Ji Xun nodded and sat back in the team, feeling a little disappointed. But when he thought about Shang Qing and her class going back because of their good performance, he felt happy for her. This way, Shang Qing could rest earlier and not be too tired. Wu Yi touched Ji Xun's arm with his shoulder, looking proud: "Yao Lingling sang well, didn't she?"
Ji Xun glanced up at the girl standing in front of him. He had to admit, she sang well, so he nodded. However, the girl's fixed gaze on him was irritating. He frowned and stopped looking.
"You weren't here just now. It was really interesting." Wu Yi didn't care whether Ji Xun paid attention to him or not, and continued to talk to himself, "There's a girl in the team next to us, and she sang completely out of tune. It was really embarrassing today."
Ji Xun was thinking Shang Qing must be happy, after all, she could go back home and rest early. He paid no attention to what Wu Yi was saying. Naturally, he had no idea who the embarrassing girl Wu Yi was talking about was. Of course, because they were practicing, they had no idea that the one singing so badly was actually their goddess Shang Qing.
On the way back, Shang Qing hurried to the phone booth while the other classes had not returned yet. She wanted to call Grandma Kang.
Yesterday, time was tight and there were too many students in line, so she didn't get a turn. Today, Shang Qing was the first one, jumping up and down with excitement. She pressed the number expertly and didn't have to wait at all before Grandma Kang's voice came from inside: "Hello, hello, is this Qingqing?"
"Yeah, yeah, Grandma. It's Qingqing. It's so hard to make phone calls here, I just managed to get through to you today. Hehe. Grandma, you won't blame me, will you?"
Shang Qing knew that several of her roommates had cell phones, but she wasn't one to bother others. She preferred to solve problems on her own. As long as she could solve the problem, it wasn't a big deal.
"How could I possibly blame Qingqing?" It was impossible for Grandma Kang to complain. Her gentle words always soothed people. "How are you? Qingqing, are you tired?"
Shang Qing, who had made a fool of himself today, finally calmed down at this moment.
"Grandma, I'm not tired. Don't worry."
"You're too strong-willed. If you're tired, don't hold it in, okay?"
"Yeah, I got it, grandma."
"Where's Xiao Xun? How is he? The missed call yesterday might have been from Xiao Xun, but I didn't answer it. Today, I've been holding my phone the whole time, afraid of missing it."
"Xiao Xun performed very well. I saw him demonstrating in the team." Shang Qing was very proud of Xiao Xun's performance, and the expression on his face was very vivid.
Grandma Kang was cheerful, holding Liuliu in her arms, and asked curiously, "Xiaoxun has always been so outstanding. What about you? Did you also demonstrate in class?"
Hearing Grandma Kang's curious and expectant voice, Shang Qing's hands unconsciously wrapped around the phone cord, feeling a little embarrassed, and said in a muffled voice: "Hey, Grandma, it's not me."
Grandma Kang knew Shang Qing wouldn't mind, so she smiled and consoled her, "Qingqing is so talented. Grandma believes that one day, Qingqing will be able to demonstrate to everyone."
Shang Qing's words of encouragement and approval instantly aroused her competitive spirit, and she vowed, "Yes, yes. Grandma, I will do better. The instructor said that the best students from each class will be selected to form a model team. I will definitely be in the team and bring honor to you."
"Silly girl, that's too tiring. Grandma can't bear to let you go. Just do your best, but don't let yourself get tired. Do you hear me?" Grandma Kang knew Shang Qing's character. If she said so, she would definitely do it. She hurriedly tried to stop her. She just wanted her little granddaughter to be in a good mood every day and didn't want any negative emotions or pressure to affect her.
Shang Qing nodded, feeling warm inside. She didn't waste any more time on the topic and asked happily, "Where's Liuliu? Is she with you, Grandma?"
Because there was plenty of time and the other classes had not returned yet, Shang Qing found a comfortable place to lean against.
"In my arms." Seeing Liuliu's eyes widen and he waited obediently when he heard Shang Qing's voice, Grandma Kang couldn't help laughing. "I'm waiting to talk to you."
"Six six, six six." Shang Qing called sweetly as if coaxing a baby, "My little cutie, do you miss your sister?"
The moment Liuliu heard Shang Qing finally call its name, it immediately stood up, rubbed its head against the phone, and called out happily: "Meow meow meow..."
This eager, sweet meow simply warmed Shang Qing's heart. Whenever Shang Qing was at home, she would pick up Liu Liu and kiss and hold him, unable to let go. But now, she could only suppress this desire.
"Liu Liu, you're so good." Shang Qing was in a good mood, her eyes curved with a smile, and she coaxed patiently, "Liu Liu, you must eat well. Grow fat, do you hear me?"
"Meow meow meow..." Liuliu agreed. He loves eating the most.
Listening to Liuliu's cheerful clapper music, Shang Qing's heart almost melted, and she wished more and more that they could be by her side.
While chatting with Grandma Kang about her roommates, Shang Qing also told her a particularly frustrating truth: she was ranked seventh in the dormitory, only one classmate older. Grandma Kang listened with a smile, as if Shang Qing was still by her side.
Shang Qing didn't finish her words until she heard the other students coming back one after another. "Grandma, I'll be going back first. From now on, don't wait for the phone call. Do you hear me? Don't let yourself get tired. Be good."
"Okay, I got it. You don't have to wait in line. Grandma is fine. I finally have some free time. I'm so tired. Take more time to rest." Grandma Kang continued to remind them. Of course, she understood that with so many students, no matter how many phones she had, they would not be enough.
"Okay. Got it, grandma. Go to bed early."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Qing didn't care about other people's looks at her and walked inside without looking around.
The voice behind her was heard by her ears.
"I heard that the girl who sang out of tune today was her."
