After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Although Chunsheng comforted Hongqin as usual, a hint of disappointment still lingered on her face when she left.

Sun Chaoyang leaned closer to Chunsheng and whispered, "What's wrong with Song Hongqin? Why does she look unhappy?"

Chunsheng smiled helplessly: "It's nothing! It's just that our class monitor is too competitive, but he'll be fine in a bit."

Sun Chaoyang watched Hongqin leave, and as soon as he returned to his seat, he immediately slumped onto the table and wrapped his head with his arms, as if something unpleasant had happened.

He grinned and asked Chunsheng again, "Is your partner really alright? I think she looked like she was crying!"

Chunsheng craned his neck and glanced in the direction of Hongqin's seat, then chuckled and said, "She's probably had a bit of a shock! But she's strong-willed, and I believe she'll be back to normal before school ends at noon."

Sun Chaoyang looked at Chunsheng with a surprised expression and muttered, "Being a top student is really tiring! It can almost drive a person crazy!"

Chunsheng stopped chatting with his deskmate and continued to focus on translating the document.

He quickly finished translating the remaining few pages of material.

Including the stack of manuscript paper in his hand, he had used up two whole stacks of manuscript paper, or about 200 pages, in less than two days in order to translate this 300-page machine operation manual.

Looking at the dense text on the manuscript paper, Chunsheng felt a surge of accomplishment.

The rest was easy; all that was needed was to copy the contents of the manuscript paper back into the two hardcover notebooks that had been purchased earlier.

But when Chunsheng's gaze fell on the pictures in the "Machinery and Equipment Operation Manual", he suddenly discovered a big problem.

Translating only the main text in the manual is definitely not enough; there's also the name of each picture, and the English descriptions labeled with Arabic numerals on the pictures.

Although each picture doesn't contain much text, Chunsheng looked closely and found that there were at least a hundred pictures in the entire manual.

Including all these images in the official translation materials, clearly labeling them with corresponding numbers, and translating them is no small task.

Furthermore, when all the translated content was copied onto the hardcover notebook, there absolutely could not be any errors, otherwise Wang Beiping would definitely find fault with it.

If we look at this decades from now, with computers available, simply inputting all the translated content into a computer and then printing it out would be a perfect solution.

At this moment, the only way to do this perfectly is to carefully copy it word by word, with eyes wide open; otherwise, even a single mistake will cause trouble.

Chunsheng originally planned to use class time to complete the transcription of the translated content.

But now it seems that this arrangement is absolutely unworkable.

Putting aside the possibility of making mistakes during the copying process, it would be quite challenging to finish copying it in such a short time.

Therefore, the best way is to take leave and complete this work at home.

Only in this way can the task be completed without any mistakes.

If you're just asking for leave, half a day definitely isn't enough; you'd need at least a day or two.

Ideally, you should start from Monday to Wednesday, attend classes in the morning, spend the afternoon at home copying the two translation materials, and then include the evenings as well. That should be enough time.

If you decide to take leave, you have to go to your homeroom teacher as soon as school is over at noon, and you have to think of a reason in advance.

But even as the bell rang, Chunsheng couldn't come up with a good reason to ask for leave.

Just as he was packing his schoolbag and continuing to consider asking for leave, his homeroom teacher, Li Yufeng, unexpectedly came to his door.

At this moment, Li Yufeng was standing at the classroom door, smiling and greeting each student who came out of the classroom.

While greeting everyone, she would occasionally explain to some of her classmates that she was waiting for Song Chunsheng.

As Chunsheng walked out of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back, Li Yufeng stopped him and pulled him to a tree opposite the classroom, where she asked him in a low voice.

"I just overheard two teachers talking about how Hou Cuicui from Class 3 went to your house on Saturday afternoon?"

Chunsheng stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking embarrassed. "How did even the school teachers know about this?"

Li Yufeng frowned slightly and continued, "It seems it's true! What exactly happened?"

Chunsheng sighed helplessly and then recounted without reservation the conversation between Hou Cuicui and her mother and sister at his home.

After listening, Li Yufeng suppressed a laugh, looked at Chunsheng with sympathy, and comforted him, "I'll handle this later, so please don't let it affect you."

Chunsheng nodded, then said nonchalantly, "I won't be affected by it, because I really don't have time to think about those things."

Li Yufeng nodded, "It's good that it won't affect us!"

"Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"

Seeing Li Yufeng nod, Chunsheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and continued, "I also have something I want to talk to you about, which is... I would like to ask for leave from Monday to Wednesday afternoons."

Li Yufeng was immediately startled and quickly asked, "Why do you need to take leave again?"

Chunsheng figured that since he couldn't come up with a suitable reason, he might as well just tell the truth.

So he told Li Yufeng in detail about how he helped his brother-in-law's company translate the machine operation manuals.

While he was talking about that matter, he also took out the stack of documents he had translated and the "Machinery and Equipment Operation Manual".

Li Yufeng first glanced at the stack of manuscript paper covered with dense writing in Chunsheng's hand.

Immediately afterwards, he took the "Machinery and Equipment Operation Manual" from Chunsheng's hand and quickly flipped through it.

A moment later, she looked at Chunsheng with surprise, "You translated this entire thick English instruction manual?"

Chunsheng nodded immediately. "Yes, it's all translated. But it still needs to be copied out completely, and there can't be a single mistake while copying, otherwise it'll all be wasted."

Li Yufeng looked up at him, "Is this why you need to take leave?"

"Yes! There's so much content inside, I need to find a quiet place to copy it, otherwise I might make a mistake."

After returning the document to Chunsheng, Li Yufeng smiled at him and said, "Good, not bad. Although I didn't read your translation carefully, judging from the text on the first page, you must have taken this matter very seriously!"

"Although the school doesn't allow students to take leave casually now, I still fully support your work translating the machine equipment manuals."

"You've managed to apply your English skills so effectively, translating so much in such a short time; I'm truly impressed!"
