Chapter 419: Chapter 296: Turning Back on All Beings
During the first period of evening self-study, Mr. Gao Heshuai, holding his textbook, entered Class 8.
He stood on the podium, his towering figure like a mountain.
"Open up yesterday’s test papers, let’s go over them."
Mr. Gao Heshuai usually didn’t teach new content during evening self-study; in most cases, he would hand out test papers for everyone to do.
His strategy was simple: build up a mountain of problems and then clearly explain the solving techniques with his unique understanding to the students.
Mr. Gao Heshuai had an imposing appearance, and his voice when lecturing was loud and clear, so that even the students at the very back could hear him without any effort.
Tonight, the students seemed exceptionally restless and inattentive, with many minds wandering.
Mr. Gao Heshuai didn’t seem to notice this, his face darkened, and he began calling on students to answer questions.
Whoever couldn’t answer would remain standing.
This tactic was very effective; the previously daydreaming students were forced to listen attentively.
"Cui Yu, answer this question."
Cui Yu chose B.
Then, Mr. Gao Heshuai called upon his deskmate, Meng Gui.
Meng Gui turned pale, trembling now and then.
Cui Yu stood beside Meng Gui, wondering if his good brother was sick.
After all, Meng Gui had gotten his clothes wet in the afternoon and had run home to change.
It was really cold that day.
Meng Gui shivered as he chose C.
"Jiang Yanan, your turn."
Jiang Yanan chose D.
Mr. Gao Heshuai’s expression grew even uglier, and he then called on Guo Kun Nan.
Guo Kunnan didn’t want to give a damn about him at all; his heart was filled with the "test" confession he had sent to Xu Yan.
In his eyes was the delicate and alluring Xu Yan, sitting upstairs while he sat downstairs.
He and she, as if they were defying the barriers of walls.
He looked at Xu Yan, and Xu Yan looked back at him, her smile and the ripple in her eyes conveying deep affection as their gazes locked.
All was understood without words.
Guo Kunnan’s old face almost blushed, truly beautiful~
But wrenched back to reality, now Guo Kunnan stood up, looking at Mr. Gao Heshuai, who stared back with a face as stony as a bull’s eyes.
Black face to black face, with half a class in between them.
Guo Kunnan felt melancholic inside; the future was bright, but to reach that bright future, he would first have to overcome the present hurdles.
He knew Mr. Gao Heshuai’s rules for questioning: if one student answered incorrectly, he would keep calling on others to stand and answer.
Now, with options ABCD, only A hadn’t been chosen, so did he even need to ask what the answer was?
Guo Kunnan doubted Mr. Gao Heshuai’s intelligence for a moment; wasn’t this just an opportunity for him to show off?
Guo Kunnan glanced at the blackboard and confidently blurted out a few words, as if finalizing a significant decision:
"I choose, A!"
After saying this, Guo Kunnan mentally thanked his brothers for clearing the path for him, allowing him to proceed unhindered and hit the target!
In his heart, Guo Kunnan exclaimed: ’Awesome!’
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gao Heshuai’s eyes twitched, and clenching the chalk, he scolded:
"This is a multiple-choice question, didn’t you see? And you all answer one by one?"
Especially upon seeing Guo Kunnan with that confident look, Mr. Gao Heshuai cursed:
"The students in your class are truly stupider than one another!"
The whole class fell silent.
At that moment, Wu Xiaoqi, who was holding a basketball, a light bulb went off in his head as he shouted:
"Mr. Gao, you’re wrong!"
"If you start with the dumbest one and count backwards, doesn’t that make our class smarter one by one."
After speaking, Wu Xiaoqi himself was stunned by his intelligence, feeling like the embodiment of wisdom.
The classmates almost couldn’t hold back their laughter upon hearing this.
Mr. Gao Heshuai’s angry face went stiff, and he bellowed: "Get out, go and stand at the back!"
Wu Xiaoqi’s smug expression froze.
’Damn it, Mr. Gao Heshuai himself is problematic, yet he punishes me!’
Wu Xiaoqi, holding his basketball, said to Pang Jiao: "Excuse me?"
Pang Jiao didn’t want to move, but her act had been approved by Mr. Gao Heshuai, and if she didn’t make way now, he might hold it against her.
Pang Jiao twisted her body and nudged the desk slightly forward, leaving Wu Xiaoqi a narrow gap to pass through.
Wu Xiaoqi, a perennial basketball player, knew opportunities on the court were fleeting, and he was adept at seizing them; he threaded his way through the gap smoothly.
Holding his beloved basketball, Wu Xiaoqi walked to the back of the classroom as if on a path to championship glory.
On either side of the path were not ordinary classmates, but fans holding flowers, cheering, and inspiring.
Wu Xiaoqi, holding the ball with one hand, suddenly stretched out an arm, raising it high, nonchalantly swaying it twice, and as his figure reached the back, he waved a farewell gesture.
Wang Longlong was amused, covering his mouth to hold back his laughter, thinking Wu Xiaoqi was really a character!
Mr. Gao Heshuai, already annoyed by Wu Xiaoqi’s brazen behavior, now noticed Wang Longlong, and became even angrier. You dare to laugh!
"Wang Longlong, you stand up!"
Wang Longlong jolted and quickly stood up.
He stood bolt upright, like a javelin.
Wang Longlong even straightened his collar to display an air of elegance.
Mr. Gao Heshuai: "What are you laughing at? Laugh! Laugh again!"
Wang Longlong remained silent.
The other students turned to watch the spectacle.
Mr. Gao Heshuai, with an imposing aura, pressed: "What are you laughing at?"
Wang Longlong finally spoke, narrating seriously: "I think studying is a very joyful thing. Especially in such an environment, being able to listen to Mr. Gao’s lectures, I feel very fortunate. It calls to mind wonderful things, like that year when I was still in elementary school, my family was very poor..."
In front of the whole class, Wang Longlong managed to talk about his childhood experiences for three minutes.
In the end, Mr. Gao Heshuai couldn’t help but interrupt: "Enough, enough, sit down already!"
He’s got to be kidding me!
...
In the last two periods of evening self-study, there were no teachers; this was truly independent study time.
