The School Prince Has Been Stirred (12)
She had probably said it intentionally for Su Yan to hear.
"If Yufei hadn't gone to attend the piano competition, if she hadn't taken leave from school, wouldn't it have been impossible for you to take advantage of her absence?!"
Su Yan turned her head and looked at that girl with bright and watery eyes.
After blanking out for a moment, she raised her arm and pointed to herself.
"Are you talking to me?" she asked in all honesty.
"You!"
That girl's complexion flushed red and she assumed that Su Yan was provoking her.
She merely coughed out one line viciously
"Just you wait!"
The moment she said that, the voice of the Chemistry teacher rang from the front.
"Silence. For the last period, we will be conducting a mock test. Students who are confident that they can score 60 marks and higher can hand up their papers and get early dismissal."
The Chemistry teacher was bald. He had many years of experience teaching and was very familiar with the personalities of the students.
Nothing was more attractive than an early dismissal.
As expected, once the students heard this, they were all extremely eager and filled with fighting spirit.
60 marks, ah.
As long as they did the test conscientiously, they would be able to leave early!
However, the instant the test papers were distributed, countless students deflated.
"What is this??!"
"Copper sulfate, aqueous hydrochloric acid, ferric oxide… Dang! Baldy doesn't want to let us leave??"
There were even some Chemistry concepts that hadn't been taught yet. However, this old baldy still tested them on it.
The Chemistry teacher was unperturbed as he sat on his desk, pretending not to hear the complaints of the students.
Once everyone had quietened down, he finally stated, unhurriedly, "I just want to tell all of you. Life is long and arduous, there'll be times you have to suffer and times that you have to display perseverance. If you're too overconfident, the heavens won't be able to stand it."
The moment he said this, mumbled curses were heard throughout the room.
But what else could they do?
Answer questions.
20 minutes later, everyone's head was buried in their papers as they struggled to complete it.
Su Yan raised her head before glancing left and right.
She bit her lips lightly. She wanted to speak up but was hesitant about it.
Then, she peeked at the paper bag under her desk.
She licked her lips.
A soft and gentle voice broke the silence of the classroom.
"Teacher, I've finished."
The bald teacher looked up at Su Yan.
Finished those questions he had set within 20 minutes?
Wasn't this a closed book test?!
He furrowed his brows. His original impression of her was that she was a good and honest little lady. How could she have learned to resort to cheating?
However, when he caught sight of her well-behaved appearance, he swallowed the words of criticism that was about to part from his lips.
He walked up to her seat while deliberating.
His eyes brushed past her answer script, originally intending to find a few faults.
However, his fleeting glance soon became a lasting stare.
After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Su Yan
"You did it yourself?"
She nodded her head
"Mm"
When he heard her acknowledgment, he picked up her answer script and peered at it carefully from start to end.
The more the teacher read, the brighter his eyes became.
"The last question was the most difficult in last year's Chemistry Olympiad. How did you do it?"
Su Yan licked the corner of her lips again. Then she blinked her eyes.
"Is it that difficult?"
After she said this, she glanced at her classmates who were scribbling furiously. She nibbled her lips and supplemented her words
"Er, it also took me a long time."
The teacher still had her test paper in his hands as he browsed through it. After waiting for a while, she voiced out docilely,
"Teacher, you mentioned that we could be dismissed once we finished. May I leave?"
"No!"
The Chemistry teacher paused in his words.
But when he raised his head again, he met her clear and innocent eyes. As a teacher, going against his promise wouldn't look too good.
He coughed softly
"You can. Report early tomorrow and meet me in the staff room."
Su Yan nodded her head. Then, she carried her backpack and picked up that paper bag before walking out.
The teacher was looking carefully at her answer script.
The other students couldn't help but whisper enviously.
"Has this old baldy suddenly blossomed with kindness? He'll let people go even if they randomly fill in answers?"
