Chapter 30 - 030 Rhythm Master
7:54 a.m.
Li Zheng closed his practice book.
Vitality value, it’s really not durable.
14 hours, just gone like that.
Seeing the practice book still half-empty, he felt a bit reluctant.
He wanted to keep going, finish it all in one go.
Just like pulling an all-nighter to play games, it’s already 2 or 3 a.m., what’s the point of sleeping?
But he had to stop and brake.
Now, it’s time to review.
[Chemistry: 81↑↑]
!!!
Li Zheng got excited.
The results were remarkable in just 14 hours.
Only a small step away from reaching his chemistry score goal of 83.
Indeed, Yu Hong’s class was totally not worth attending.
Teacher Mengxi was the real savior angel.
In the face of this enormous gain, Li Zheng stared at the practice book and couldn’t help but rub his hands together.
In his eyes, there was a gambler’s frenzy.
Just 2 more points to reach the goal.
And he still had a full 15 hours of vitality value left.
If he used this time to finish the remaining half of the book...
It should definitely be enough, right...
How about I try a dozen pages first?
Just a dozen, I’ll stop at twenty pages max.
Really, I can definitely stop, not a single question more.
His hand unconsciously reached out.
Just as he was about to open the practice book again.
"Ring ring ring——"
The bell startled him awake.
No!
Stop!
Studying is harder the deeper you go.
These last 2 points might be just as tough as the previous 18.
Must stick to the plan.
Hold back.
Li Zheng grabbed his right hand with his left, panting heavily.
"Before noon... not another problem... not even one more..."
With great effort, he managed to suppress his urge to study.
That was close.
Almost lost control.
His classmates who couldn’t stop drawing cards in games must feel the same way.
But actually, in his desk mate’s eyes, Li Zheng had been out of control for a long time.
"Are you still human?" Liu Xin said, munching on an instant hamburger, "I’ve been watching you for 5 minutes, are you practicing quantum speed reading?"
"It’s quantum problem-solving." Li Zheng answered seriously, which made him look more normal.
Liu Xin accepted this answer and nodded in agreement: "By the way, they say Old Mother Hu went to your dad’s hospital."
"That’s not true, don’t spread rumors." Li Zheng denied flatly.
No way, with so many teachers in school, each with their own relatives, Old Li might end up doing surgeries for 48 hours straight if everyone’s aunt and uncle showed up.
"Heh heh, looks like it’s true..." Liu Xin leaned in and asked, "Aren’t we like brothers?"
"Just ordinary classmates, the kind who won’t see each other after graduation except for reunions."
"C’mon, don’t pretend. Here, have my hamburger." Liu Xin said, stuffing a hamburger loaded with lettuce into his hand, "Well... to be honest, my dad has had recurring hemorrhoids. They say your dad’s knife skills are great, so I was thinking..."
"Get lost!"
Meanwhile, with Jiang Qinghua at the center, the betting on who would be the new class teacher had reached the final stage.
"Closing bets, closing bets, last chance, place your bets now."
"Physics Teacher Tao, 5 times as the day teacher, place your bets."
"Other teachers, 3 times as the day teacher."
"Me me me." Liu Xin shouted, "Teacher Xiao Tang, 100 times as the day teacher!"
"No way, maximum bet is 10 times." Jiang Qinghua scolded, "If you want to repeat high school for ten years, I won’t stop you, but others still need to graduate."
"Then 10 times it is." Liu Xin laughed.
"Place your bets," Jiang Qinghua said while recording, "For those of you betting on Teacher Xiao Tang, I’m telling you, statistically, her chance is really low. If you lose, don’t deny it."
"Teacher Xiao Tang, I’ll bet 10 also," Li Zheng suddenly raised his hand.
"???" Jiang Qinghua was stunned, "You too?"
"Yeah, wanted to try a different way to relax."
"Mmm, mmm mmm mmm!" Lin Yujing also waved frantically from a distance, "Hu Youbin, 10 times."
"…" Jiang Qinghua looked at the two competing, his previously excited face suddenly cooled.
He picked up his pen, and harshly wrote in his notebook, "Showhand, huh, I’ll show you to death, show you, you, guys..."
"Click, click..."
High heels echoed in the hallway.
The volume in the class dropped suddenly.
Those youthful and seductive steps...
Many boys couldn’t contain themselves.
Bam!
The door opened.
Wow.
It was Sun Xiubin.
Instant deflation.
"Look at you all, look at you, it’s only been a day since Teacher Hu left, look at you." Sun Xiubin raised her hand, "I’m here to introduce your new class teacher..."
Following her gesture, a female teacher in a dark-colored dress timidly slid in.
Long straight hair, bangs over her forehead, holding her lesson plans, eyes full of seriousness, with a hint of anxiety.
Liu Xin pounded the desk and exclaimed: "YEEEES!!!"
Not just him, almost all the boys in the class exploded.
"YEAH!!!"
"Teacher Tang!!!"
"Awesome!!!"
Sun Xiubin could not control the scene at all.
She turned and ran out to call the sports department.
Li Zheng looked at Teacher Xiao Tang, nodded slightly, and smiled without saying anything.
He completely understood his classmates’ excitement.
You could almost say——
The only class they could focus on was Teacher Xiao Tang’s.
It’s like watching a movie, it has to start with beautiful visuals to grab attention.
Then, the interesting storytelling pulls you into the learning state.
But that wasn’t enough.
What mattered more was the rhythm.
Only a reasonable rhythm could keep the audience, no, keep the students’ attention for a long time.
Teacher Xiao Tang was without a doubt a master of rhythm, balancing tension and relaxation. Just when you were about to get sleepy, she always had a way to pull you back.
However,
Teacher Xiao Tang was not flawless.
Just like with films, sometimes too flashy visual effects can overshadow the story itself.
For Liu Xin, he wasn’t listening to the lesson, he was watching the lesson.
The same class, Li Zheng’s enthusiasm spiked when Teacher Xiao Tang introduced a new concept.
For Liu Xin, his excitement only peaked when Teacher Xiao Tang stepped off the podium.
Only then could he see everything below her skirt.
And that would immediately fire him up.
Just like a film can have two interpretations,
Their same class had two completely different rhythms.
"Alright, alright." Teacher Xiao Tang raised her arms anxiously at the chaotic class, "If you keep this up, the head will remove me."
Silence.
Boys and girls, all shut up.
They flushed red and said nothing.
Teacher Xiao Tang wiped her sweat, turned to Sun Xiubin, and said: "Look, Director, I can handle it."
Sun Xiubin, doubtful but relenting, put down the phone and poked her head back in, her tone threatening: "Anyone who dares to bully Teacher Xiao Tang, and I’ll replace her."
What do you think?
