I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 325 International Cultural Exchange Activities
After Xia Shishi finished putting on her makeup, she turned her head and blinked twice, showing it to her roommates: "How is it? Is it ok?"

Xia Qingdai gave a thumbs up and praised: "OK! It really restores the beauty!"

"Haha! I knew you were pretty and sweet-talking!" Xia Shishi gave Xia Qingdai a wink, then asked, "Do you guys want to put on some makeup too? Hey, Qingdai, I've never seen you put on makeup before, let me help you."

"It's already evening, forget it." Xia Qingdai refused with a smile. She didn't want to go through the trouble of putting on makeup and then spend time removing it after taking two photos.

"Why so late? It's only 9:30. Many people are studying in cafes and libraries! It's okay if you don't put on makeup. I'll help you another day. Let's go. I'll treat everyone to Starbucks outside the East Second Gate for cake and coffee!"

Cheng Xiao yelled: "Ah, don't seduce me, you will get fat to death!"

Xia Shishi came up and patted her shoulder gently: "Only when you are full can you have the energy to lose weight, understand? Let's go!"

He waved to Shi Yan again: "Let's go, Shi Yan, stop dawdling."

Xia Qingdai stood up, picked up her phone and book, and said with a smile: "Since you said so, I won't be polite."

Xia Qingdai seldom drinks coffee. Although there are coffee shops everywhere in the UK, she rarely visits them. The people she interacts with also mostly drink tea.

But she doesn't completely dislike coffee, she can drink it occasionally.

The group then collectively changed into brand new Empire dresses and marched out of the dormitory building. They received countless stares along the way, as if they were back to the first day of school when they had dressed up carefully.

Although Jiangcheng has no nightlife, it is as bright as day inside and outside the campus at 9:30 in the evening.

The self-study rooms and open teaching buildings were filled with students studying late into the night. The nearby coffee shops, internet cafes, cat cafes, and cold drink shops were also crowded with people reading and studying - and there might also be people dating. But those couples would mostly go to the lakeside, lawns, etc., and rarely in these places.

The four people in Xia Qingdai's dormitory came to Simbak at the East Second Gate, where there were quite a few seats left.

For poor students, Starbucks is considered a high-end product. After all, the cheapest drink at Mixue Ice City nearby is only six yuan, while a cup of coffee at Starbucks costs more than thirty yuan.

But today was a big meal, so everyone happily ordered a coffee at the bar.

"Why don't you guys order cake? Just order it. It's my treat as agreed."

Xia Qingdai said, "Forget about the cake. I'm afraid I'll get sick of it at night."

Cheng Xiao also said: "I am losing weight, can I save this piece of cake for next time?"

"Ha, you wish! It's too late!" Xia Shishi said with a smile, "Shi Yan, how about you, do you want to lose weight too? You're almost as thin as a stick."

Shi Yan was embarrassed to order an extra cake for herself, and she wasn't very interested in cake, so she shook her head and said, "I'll just have a cup of coffee."

"Oh, you women. How about I just order two and we can eat together?"

"Okay, it's up to you. Thank you both Miss Xia for today!" Cheng Xiao, who was already sitting in her seat, smiled.

It was not difficult for Xia Shishi to treat her roommates to a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.

Unlike coffee shops in other areas that prefer dim lighting, the Starbucks near the school has bright lights inside to adapt to the environment.

Students who ordered coffee read and study inside without any problems. And because the price is relatively expensive compared to the surrounding areas, it is not as crowded as other places.

The four girls each held a cup of coffee, leaning back in their chairs and chatting while enjoying the attention of others. They all wore similar empire dresses, which easily attracted the attention of others. Xia Shishi, who had carefully applied makeup, and Xia Qingdai, who was naturally undecorated, instantly raised the overall appearance of the group, giving passers-by the illusion that all the girls were beauties.

Everyone was curious about when Xia Qingdai learned tailoring and how she came up with the idea of ​​designing such clothes.

Xia Qingdai didn't want to say more about this issue. If she told a lie today, she might forget it tomorrow, which would be easy to be exposed, so it was better to say less.

Anyway, there are too many topics suitable for chatting, such as acupuncture, massage, beauty and skin care, etc.

"Tick."

"jingle."

"Dang~"

As they were chatting, except for Xia Qingdai, the other three people's cell phones started ringing at almost the same time, and they couldn't stop ringing.

"Is your business so busy?" Xia Qingdai asked curiously.

After reading the message on her phone, Xia Shishi replied, "It's our club's event. I'm impressed. It's almost 10pm and you're busy notifying me."

Shi Yan raised her eyes from her phone and asked in bewilderment, "What are you asking us to do? Etiquette?"

The content of their community group is roughly that starting this week, Jiangcheng will have a week-long international youth cultural exchange activity, the theme of which is "Touching Liangzhu Culture".

This event will be attended by 108 international students from countries and regions around the world.

During the event, young volunteers from major universities in Jiangcheng served as local tour guides, accompanying international students to visit the Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, the Pingyao Old Street Intangible Cultural Heritage Group, etc., to experience the intangible cultural heritage projects and feel the charm of our great Chinese civilization of 5,000 years.

"One of the stops in this activity is in the museum of Jiangnan University, so we should receive international students at this stop, right?" Cheng Xiao guessed while checking the group messages.

When Xia Qingdai heard that it was about the club, she immediately lost interest. She just listened to the other three people's discussion quietly, looking distracted.

"Will there be international students from Qatar this time? I heard that they loved to give out money during the Universiade. Even the doorman who helped press the elevator button could get a tip of dozens of dollars." Shi Yan imagined a beautiful scene.

Xia Shishi smiled: "Thirty-one countries, it's very likely. Those oil-producing countries are all truly wealthy, maybe there are even Arab princes among them."

"Ah, will there really be a prince?" The honest girl Shi Yan took it seriously, which made the other girls laugh.

Xia Qingdai, who was just watching the show and not participating in their conversation, did not expect that this cultural exchange meeting would eventually lead to her intersection.

What happened was that the study room was crowded at noon that day, so Xia Qingdai simply went to the museum.

Xia Shishi happened to be assigned to bring a group of international students to visit this place. Among them, a handsome French man spoke to her in English with a heavy accent, which was harder than the level 6 listening test. Xia Shishi could not understand him at all, let alone French.

They were gesticulating and talking incoherently, and were so embarrassed that they were digging their toes on the ground.

Xia Shishi had always thought that she was good at foreign languages. She had scored high in the college entrance examination, but she didn't expect that actual communication would be so difficult.
