America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 101 Pavlov's Dogs and Skinner's Pigeons

"You two, aren't you having another conflict?"

Noticing Li Xiaoen's gaze, Victoria turned around and glanced at Sufeil. Sufeil didn't even look at Li Xiaoen today. Although he had almost ignored Li Xiaoen before, this was the first time he didn't even look at him today.

"Hasn't this always been our way?"

Sufeil didn't respond, so Li Xiaoen had to give a brief explanation.

"Is that right?"

Victoria looked back at Sufeil. For no reason, she vaguely felt that the conflict between the two was particularly serious this time. She couldn't help but hold Sufeil's hand on the table, and turned to look at Li Xiaoen helplessly.

Is this standing on the side of good friends and forming a united front?

Li Xiaoen felt strange. In the past, he would have definitely teased Victoria for betraying their revolutionary friendship. But now he was in the wrong after all, so he had to silently endure the gaze and turned his eyes to the podium.

It was just to express her position. After receiving a reassuring look from Sufeil, Victoria quickly sat up straight.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many things yesterday, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but feel a little drowsy when facing the teacher's straightforward reading of psychology concepts on the podium.

"Sean...Sean..."

Victoria patted Li Xiaoen's shoulder, which cheered him up a little and made him look sideways.

"Ms. Avery has checked on you multiple times. If you fall asleep again, I'm afraid she'll call on you again."

"Will they also call names to enforce discipline in a classroom this large?"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although most of the teachers at Princeton were very serious and responsible, it was still impossible to avoid some students being absent-minded in such a large classroom. If he called the roll every time he found one, he might not be able to attend the entire class.

"Don't you know that you made a very deep impression on Mr. Avery?"

Victoria rolled her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoen with a look that said, "How come you have no self-awareness at all?"

He couldn't help but look up at Avery, and after meeting the warning look behind the glasses, Li Xiaoen quickly looked away.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the young man immediately regain his spirits, sitting upright and looking at the podium, Victoria couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I'm reporting this to Avery, Victoria."

Keeping his eyes on the podium, Li Xiaoen whispered, "You're not paying attention in class!"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Sean."

Victoria didn't care, instead she smiled calmly, "I'm just here to take the class, the teacher won't care about me."

Li Xiaoen: "..."

Seeing the young man remain silent, Victoria smiled even more happily.

After a quick glance at the smiling girl, Li Xiaoen added, "Then I'm going to report you to Avery for interrupting my class."

"go Go."

Victoria nodded nonchalantly. "Go ahead and try it. See if Avery will believe you and take this class seriously."

"Slander, you are slandering me!"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but turn his head to look over, but just as he finished speaking, a voice with a very loud noise came from the loudspeaker.

"Sean, answer this question."

"..." Reluctantly turning his head to look at the screen, Li Xiaoen was aware of Avery Fangqian's teaching progress this time. Amidst the suppressed laughter of the girl next to him, he answered loudly, "Teacher Avery, we haven't covered this concept yet, have we?"

"It's not mentioned here. Can't you look for it in the textbook?"

Avery replied leisurely, "Anyway, haven't you always been like this?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom burst into laughter. Li Xiaoen showed no sign of being timid. He curled his lips helplessly and said, "Then please wait a moment, teacher."

Li Xiaoen quickly scanned the information on his iPad and muttered, "Regarding behaviorism in psychology, Pavlov's dog experiments, which stimulated dogs to react, are examples of respondent behavior. And Skinner's pigeons..."

It was just a basic general education course. Although it had not been taught yet, any Princeton student could easily answer the questions on the screen after reviewing the materials. At this moment, everyone in the classroom looked at the young man sitting in the corner, but their thoughts were different.

It is not difficult to easily answer questions about knowledge points that have not been taught. What they admire in their hearts is the young man's calm attitude even when facing the teacher's nomination and the funny eyes of classmates in the classroom.

They had a vague feeling that this young man deserved to be in the spotlight.

"By the way, Sean, wasn't he the magician at the orientation party last weekend?"

Finally someone came to his senses and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Welcome party? Are you talking about that freshman who's all the rage on Tik Tok and Instagram?"

"Yeah, no wonder he looked so familiar and handsome to me from afar..."

The sound of sighs spread everywhere and quickly spread throughout the classroom. Even students who had not attended the show took out their mobile phones, looking back and forth between the video on their phones and Li Xiaoen who was sitting there, and then they followed suit and sighed.

Noticing that the atmosphere in the classroom was becoming increasingly heated and noisy, Avery frowned and patted the blackboard: "Quiet, quiet!"

She had intended to make an example of Li Xiaoen by calling out his name, but she ended up making things worse.

Helplessly looking at Li Xiaoen who was sitting there, the young man was still looking around in surprise. Avery took a deep breath and swept his eyes across the classroom.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's select another student to come to the podium and perform a show during the next class."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole classroom seemed to have been turned on and became quiet in an instant. Only the faint sounds coming from the classroom next door were left, making the whole classroom seem even quieter.

Sure enough, there are still a lot of i people in the world, let alone in Princeton, which is ranked among the top in the world and has students who are more academically oriented.

Li Xiaoen was quite surprised that his classmates kept quiet in the classroom and couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Sean."

After a few moments of silence, Avery, satisfied with the quiet atmosphere in the classroom, nodded and called out, "Come to my office after class."

"..."

Not paying attention to the surprised looks from others, Li Xiaoen slowly frowned.

Perhaps Avery's words had such a strong deterrent effect that the entire class finally passed in silence.

After saying hello to Victoria and the other two girls, Li Xiaoen reluctantly walked to the podium.

"Mr. Avery, is there anything I can say here?"

Looking up at Li Xiaoen, Avery shook his head and said, "If I really say this here, you will definitely regret it later."

"Is it something unknown to others?" Li Xiaoen opened his eyes wide.

"Come with me."

After giving Li Xiaoen a meaningful look, Avery turned around and walked out of the classroom with the lesson plan in his arms.
