Chapter 34: Chinese Teacher: Very Good, Very Good

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhang Geng sat in his seat with his head lowered, even though no one said anything else. However, he felt that there was something strange about the gazes of the others. Suddenly, he heard the words of the people around him and immediately clenched his fists.

Chen Chu?!

He felt that ever since he heard of Chen Chu, everything had not gone well. Moreover, he only scored full marks for two subjects. The biology paper he had just received was also full marks.

It was just full marks. Who didn’t have it? If you have the ability, why don’t you get full marks for all the subjects? What’s the big deal about getting full marks for two subjects?! Oh, right, it was impossible to get full marks for Chinese. The essay would more or less deduct points.

Unless his essay writing was good enough to convince all the marking teachers.

However, the teachers who were marking the papers this time were all interactive teachers from other schools. They had to pick on him a little.

Third class in the morning was Biology. The biology teacher walked into the classroom with a smile. The students subconsciously looked at the biology teacher’s smiling face and then at Chen Chu.

Surely not?

“Class!”

“Teacher, you’ve worked hard!”

“Not at all. Please have a seat.” The biology teacher smiled warmly at Chen Chu, and the students’ hearts skipped a beat. “Here, I want to praise Chen Chu.”

The students were shocked. Damn, it couldn’t be, right?

“Student Chen Chu, please get up.” The biology teacher paused and applauded. “Student Chen Chu, full marks for the biology section of the comprehensive science paper! Let’s give Chen Chu a round of applause!”

The students were at a loss. They raised their hands and clapped mechanically. The world changed so quickly that they didn’t seem to know each other anymore. Although the class monitor’s results were good previously, he was only in the top 15 in the class and about the top 500 in the grade. Was he on the rise now?

Chen Chu got up, thanked him, and sat down. He was almost used to it. Wang Hai looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. “What the f*ck? Full marks for another subject?”

Chen Chu pointed at the phone in his pocket. “The recording is here! Don’t forget the snacks and drinks this week.”

Wang Hai nodded blankly and turned around. This time, he was a little shaken. Then, he reacted. “I don’t believe you!”

On the other side, Class 17, Physics class.

Zhang Geng knew that his Physics score was 97 points.

Zhang Geng immediately clenched his fists. 97, 97. If it was any other time, he wouldn’t be too excited to get 97 points. However, the problem was that Chen Chu, who he looked down on and thought was inferior to him in all aspects, got 100 points.

And he had only scored 97.

He had lost!

This was the first subject that could be compared with Chen Chu since this morning, but he actually lost?

Zhang Geng’s mentality was about to collapse. He held the pen and trembled. He recalled what he had vowed previously. He felt as if someone had slapped his swollen face again. Impossible, absolutely impossible. It was just a coincidence.

The next class was English, so he would definitely get full marks… right?

Zhang Geng sadly realized that he was starting to lose confidence.

The fourth period was originally an art class. However, the gas at the art teacher’s house was not turned off. She ran back to change the child’s diaper and repaired the car. She also bought some cold medicine and treated her legs.

The last class of Year Two Class 4 in the morning was substituted by the Chinese teacher.

The Chinese teacher walked into the classroom with a bright smile. The students were already a little reflexive. When they saw the teacher’s unusual smile, they looked at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu took it calmly. Why are you looking at me? Pick up some food!

The Chinese teacher cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows. He opened the thermos flask, took a sip of water, and smacked his lips, savoring the aftertaste. The students immediately burst into laughter. It couldn’t be helped. The Chinese teacher’s expressions were too rich, and it was always easy for people to get out of character.

The Chinese teacher was not angry. He smiled with everyone, squinting his eyes and laughing. After a while, he stretched out his hand, opened it, clenched his fist, and retracted it to his waist. “Okay, stop!” Everyone respected him and stopped laughing. “Very good. I feel that everyone seems to have guessed something. Did the other teachers leak the secret? Not good, it’s really not good.”

“Teacher, tell us quickly. Did the class monitor get full marks again?” a girl said.

“That’s right, that’s right. Teacher, could it be that the class monitor scored full marks again?”

“Teacher, don’t keep us in suspense. Otherwise, I’ll secretly go and poke the tire of your car after class,” a boy said in a high-pitched voice. He was sneaking around, not daring to show his true face to anyone.

The Chinese teacher’s eyes widened. “The one who said he wanted to poke my tire, can you get up for a moment? I’ll give you a gift.” As he spoke, he pretended to draw his belt.

“Teacher, it’s him!” Everyone in the class pointed at a tall boy at the back table.

“I’ll remember you, Student Lu. I’ll look for you when my tire’s poked in the future!”

“Huh?”

“What? How dare you talk back?”

“I wouldn’t dare…”

The Chinese teacher nodded in satisfaction. “Very good. Let’s continue talking about the class monitor. Come, Chen Chu, get up.” Chen Chu stood up. The Chinese teacher took the lead and applauded. “Applause!”

The applause in the classroom was endless and only stopped after a long time.

“Okay, stop!” There was a sudden silence. The Chinese teacher said with a smile, “Everyone, take a guess. How many marks did our class monitor get this time? If you guessed correctly, there would be a prize! There was only one prize! Whoever said it first would win. I’ll invite him and Chen Chu to the buffet restaurant. It’s 188 yuan per person!” Speaking of the 188 buffet, he deliberately glanced at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu smiled awkwardly. Last week, he had agreed with the Chinese teacher that if he could enter the top ten of the grade, the teacher would treat him to a buffet.

The classroom was silent for a moment. “Full marks for the class monitor!”

“150 points!”

“Full marks!”

The Chinese teacher smiled and shook his head. “You guessed wrongly. I’ll give you another chance!”

Wang Hai’s eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly thought of that pervert who scored 749 points. 749, 749. Wasn’t it just a total of one point deducted? Based on the Chinese teacher’s attitude, he suspected that Chen Chu was most likely that freak. He shouted, “Teacher, 149 points!”

The Chinese teacher’s eyes lit up. “Eh, this student guessed correctly!” However, when he saw that it was Chen Chu’s deskmate, he immediately shook his head. “Did the class monitor tell you? Not good, not good at all! However, the reward was effective.

“Don’t leave after school later. I’ll bring you guys to have a feast. Students, don’t be discouraged. In the next exam, I will also reward whoever improves the most.”

The students looked disappointed and sighed. Sigh! Especially the few girls. Was the buffet important?

No, it’s not important. If they really wanted to eat, who couldn’t afford a buffet that cost 188 yuan per person? It was just a matter of whether they could bear to spend the money or not.

The most important thing was to eat with the class monitor.

“Student Chen Chu’s Chinese score this time is 149 points. One point was deducted from the essay, but it’s not a big deal.” The Chinese teacher stared at Chen Chu with a smile. “You have to learn from Class Monitor Chen Chu. He has improved a lot this time. Very, very much. Class Monitor, please sit down.”

Chen Chu sat down. Wang Hai, who was beside him, had been dumbfounded ever since the Chinese teacher nodded in approval.

149 points, 749 points. What a coincidence. Moreover, Chen Chu had scored full marks in all three subjects. Could it be that the freak with 749 points was really him?

He was just guessing.

In Class 17, Zhang Geng was looking at the English teacher with anticipation. The teacher did not keep him in suspense. He simply distributed the papers and praised him. “Student Zhang Geng’s results for this exam are very good, 148 points! Applause and cheer for Student Zhang Geng.”

The students were very respectful. Even though Zhang Geng’s top student halo was a little shattered, he was still a top student. A score of 148 was already very impressive.

However, Zhang Geng’s expectant, nervous, and excited expression froze.

148 … 148 … 48 … 8 …

He was in a daze, and only 148 kept echoing in his mind.

His mind felt a little muddled.
