Since learning about Ji Moyu's past, Chu Qiuchi silently planted a seed in her heart, determined to work harder so that she could provide him with more support and help in the future. She didn't show her sympathy openly, but instead chose a more subtle and ingenious way to approach him—in their daily interactions, Chu Qiuchi proactively guided Ji Moyu to communicate with his teammates, using her enthusiasm and humor to create a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for him.

Chu Qiuchi's infectious laughter and playful jokes brought a ray of warmth to Ji Moyu's cold life. She slowly and quietly melted the hardened wall in his heart, helping him better integrate into the team and find his place. Time slipped away quietly in daily practice and study, and more than half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past six months, Chu Qiuchi's diligence and perseverance have not only inspired her teammates but also ignited the fighting spirit of the entire class. Like a refreshing breeze, she has permeated every corner, making everyone feel the pressure of the challenge and the motivation to move forward. Everyone is striving to keep up with the times.

In this atmosphere, everyone is growing in their own way, and Chu Qiuchi has undoubtedly become one of the best among them. Her name has become synonymous with hard work, inspiring everyone to constantly surpass themselves and pursue higher goals. Her team—the "Six-Six Great Success Team"—has firmly held the top spot on the first-year practical ranking. This name, which once sounded a bit funny, is no longer a source of amusement when mentioned by classmates, but has become a towering mountain that inspires awe, symbolizing strength and glory.

Today is April 25th, a special day—Nalan Xingyao's birthday. On this day in the year 3216 of the Roland calendar, they had already spent an autumn and winter at Mingxi Sacred Academy. Time flies, and everyone has ushered in a new year, their steps of growth never ceasing.

With today's learning and training tasks successfully completed, Nalan Xingyao gratefully suggested, "Tonight, I'll treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant to celebrate and thank you all for the wonderful birthday gifts you prepared for me!"

Chu Qiuchi had a sudden inspiration and offered another suggestion: "Why don't we skip the restaurant and go straight to Xingyao's villa to cook a big meal ourselves? That would be more meaningful!"

Upon hearing this idea, Puyang Minghui immediately chimed in excitedly, "Great idea! Let's go to our dorm! Cooking ourselves sounds really fun!"

Chu Yichen looked at Chu Qiuchi with a hint of doubt: "Sister, are you sure you can cook?"

Chu Qiuchi replied confidently, "What's so difficult about that? Just wait and see, this is one of my hidden skills!" She was secretly pleased with herself. After all, she had been immersed in the culinary culture of Greater China for so many years, and even if she wasn't a master chef, she was more than capable of making some home-style dishes.

Seeing Chu Qiuchi's confident demeanor, everyone exchanged smiles, gradually filled with anticipation for the upcoming dinner.

The group went to the college's supermarket in high spirits, carefully selected the ingredients and seasonings they needed, and then returned home laden with their purchases, chatting and laughing all the way as they headed towards the villa area. Soon, they arrived at the villa district, where the villas maintained the college's consistent simple style, without excessive decoration, only clean white walls, appearing exceptionally fresh and refined.

These charming villas are scattered along tree-lined paths, each exuding a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Afternoon sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the white walls, adding vibrancy and elegance to the buildings. Occasionally, small potted plants or wind chimes hang from the windows, swaying gently in the breeze and producing melodious sounds, evoking a sense of beauty and tranquility in the air.

As soon as Chu Qiuchi entered the villa district, she was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before her. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this villa district truly lives up to its reputation, it's so beautiful! If the villa district is this beautiful, then the entire villa district must be breathtakingly beautiful!"

Hearing his sister's sigh, Chu Yichen smiled and replied, "Sis, if you work harder and earn more points, maybe we can really move into the villa area together in the future!"

Puyang Minghui joined in the discussion, laughing and saying, "That's right, Qiuchi, we're all counting on you to lead us to great success!"

Chu Qiuchi raised her eyebrows smugly and said confidently, "Am I not working hard enough? I'm the hardest working person in our class right now! Don't worry, a big villa and a good life will come in the future!"

The group was chatting happily when a girl's sobbing broke the cheerful atmosphere and immediately caught Chu Qiuchi's attention. Without hesitation, she strode towards the direction of the crying, and the others quickly followed.

They quickly located the source of the crying, and Chu Qiuchi rushed over to inquire what was wrong. It turned out that several young girls, having finished their cultivation, had decided to take a walk and relax in the villa area, but unexpectedly encountered this chubby boy on the way. He deliberately bumped into them with his leg, seemingly enjoying it. The chubby boy was dressed elegantly, and the girls, not wanting to cause trouble, chose to tolerate it and intend to leave.

However, seeing that they ignored him, the chubby boy became even more arrogant, blocking their way and openly bumping into the girls, shamelessly saying he wanted to play with them. One of the girls lost her balance and fell to the ground, bursting into tears—that was the sound they heard. The chubby boy, however, stood by, laughing gleefully, showing no remorse whatsoever.

After listening to the little girl's story, Chu Qiuchi's fists clenched involuntarily. Seeing this, Chu Yichen immediately realized his older sister was about to explode. Sure enough, Chu Qiuchi turned to the chubby boy, her tone laced with provocation: "Little chubby, you like to play so much, how about I play with you?" Before she finished speaking, she had already thrown the vegetables she was holding to Chu Yichen, then quickly rushed towards the chubby boy, delivering a perfect Taekwondo side kick that knocked him to the ground.

Enraged, the chubby boy scrambled to his feet, attempting to retaliate, but Chu Qiuchi delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick, sending him crashing to the ground again. Seeing the boy struggling to get up, Chu Qiuchi launched into another barrage of punches and kicks until he begged for mercy. Stepping on him, she asked with a grin, "How was it? Little chubby, was it fun? If you want to play this kind of game again, come find me. I have plenty of time to play with you. Okay?" The chubby boy quickly shook his head, "No fun, no fun, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Seeing that the chubby boy had already begged for mercy, Chu Qiuchi decided not to make things difficult for him anymore. She grabbed the chubby boy and brought him in front of the girls, ordering him in an unquestionable tone, "Come on, apologize to me properly! You can leave after you apologize!"

The chubby boy was now bruised and battered, looking utterly disheveled. Under Chu Qiuchi's intimidation, he stammered an apology to the girls, his voice trembling, "I...I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!"

Seeing the chubby boy's miserable state, the girls' resentment and anger gradually subsided. They knew that it was thanks to Chu Qiuchi's intervention that they had received the respect and apology they deserved. Therefore, they did not pursue the matter further, accepted the chubby boy's apology, and let him leave.

Chu Qiuchi turned around and noticed the complicated looks from her teammates, especially Chu Yichen, who gently covered his eyes with his hand, as if to say, "Sis, you're too fierce." Chu Qiuchi realized that her bold behavior might have surprised everyone, so she quickly adjusted her expression, put on a sweet smile, and said easily, "Don't worry, I'm usually very kind and approachable. That was just a small accident!"

She even rested her chin on her hands, making an exaggeratedly cute expression, and flashed a big smile at her teammates. Her hilarious gesture instantly made her teammates burst into laughter.

Several girls came forward to express their gratitude to Chu Qiuchi: "Classmate, you're amazing! We all felt so relieved to see you teach him a lesson like that." "Yes, we wish we could be as good as you." Their eyes shone with admiration and longing.

Chu Qiuchi encouraged them: "When you encounter someone who is being unreasonable, if you can fight back, don't waste words. Fight until they are scared. We girls need to learn some self-defense skills so that we won't be bullied when we go out. The physical training courses at school include some fighting techniques. You should all learn them carefully, and you will naturally be able to handle this kind of situation in the future."

After listening to Chu Qiuchi's encouragement and advice, the girls nodded earnestly, their eyes shining with determination. They had clearly resolved to diligently learn the fighting techniques so they could protect themselves in the future. After bidding the girls a friendly farewell, the group quickly headed towards Nalan Xingyao's dormitory. The earlier incident hadn't dampened their cheerful spirits.

On the way, Chu Yichen also shared with his teammates the amusing stories of how Chu Qiuchi disciplined a group of unruly children back in Xiyue City, managing to bring them under her thumb. The teammates listened with great interest, gaining a new understanding of Chu Qiuchi. She looked like a delicate flower on the outside, but who knew she was a raging dragon inside!

Upon arriving at Nalan Xingyao's dormitory, the group immediately sprang into action, with clear division of labor and efficient organization. The others prepared the ingredients, while Chu Qiuchi took on the role of head chef. As one delicious dish after another was served, the group was once again amazed by Chu Qiuchi's culinary skills. She was like a treasure trove of surprises; just when you thought you had uncovered all her secrets, she always managed to reveal new talents.

Dinner proceeded happily amidst laughter and chatter. Chu Qiuchi's culinary skills won rave reviews, with everyone praising her cooking. As the star of the evening, Nalan Xingyao received special favor from Chu Qiuchi, who meticulously prepared a unique DIY sushi cake for her, a gesture that deeply moved Nalan Xingyao.

While enjoying the delicious food, everyone was already excitedly planning for their next teammate's birthday, hoping to have the opportunity to enjoy Chu Qiuchi's culinary feast again. After the meal, everyone worked together to quickly clean up the dishes, then returned to their respective training sessions. This evening not only deepened their friendship but also brought them plenty of energy and wonderful memories.
