After rebirth, they all moved into my house.

"Then let's soak for twenty years."

78. Come to the office

The National Day holiday is over, and the 8th is Saturday. In order to make up for the lessons and keep up with the teaching progress, students need to attend classes for seven consecutive days.

For Lu Yuan, who had experienced senior year of high school, this was nothing, but other students didn’t think so. After seven days of crazy play, they had to play for another seven days. How could they get back into shape?

The teachers were also very understanding, so the first day back was basically spent explaining the monthly exam papers as a buffer.

After the Chinese class in the morning, the Chinese teacher Li Xiaole called on Lu Yuan, who was dozing off, to come to her office with his monthly exam paper.

"Lu Yuan..." Gu Jiuyi pinched Lu Yuan's sleeve worriedly. Normally, nothing good would happen if the teacher called him to the office after class.

Lu Yuan didn't understand what he had done wrong, so he could only put his hand on Gu Jiuyi's hand and said, "It should be fine, don't worry."

Then he stood up and walked towards the office with the test paper that had just been distributed.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

In fact, the office door was half open, but out of courtesy, Lu Yuan knocked on the door first.

"Come in." The new Chinese teacher who graduated with a master's degree in Chinese was leaning on the swivel chair with a listless look on her face. Her unfriendly tone made people feel that she was angry.

Because it is now during the break, most of the teachers are still in their seats in the first-year classrooms and offices, pretending to be preparing for class, but actually just "eating spectators" and watching the show.

The head teacher, Lao Chen, noticed Teacher Li's unfriendly expression and thought of Lu Yuan's Chinese grades, he couldn't help but smile.

You have to know that Lu Yuan often did exercises in English class instead of listening to his lectures. The key point is that this guy got full marks. He couldn't deal with him, but now there is someone who can deal with him.

"Xiao Li, why are you angry so early in the morning?" The head teacher, Old Chen, smiled at Teacher Li.

Teacher Li rolled his eyes at Old Chen and said, "Teacher Chen, I'm not angry. I just want to communicate with Lu Yuan."

The physics teacher, who was making coffee, was laughing as he did so. The chemistry teacher had his chin supported by his hands, and the biology teacher pursed his lips, his eyes never leaving the Chinese teacher and Lu Yuan.

Watch a show!

Tsk, the Chinese teacher couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These frivolous seniors, when they saw Lu Yuan and Xu Ruolin's total scores and subject scores during the meeting before, all of them smiled happily. The top two in the grade and even the top two in the subject were the students they taught, and they felt very proud to tell others about it.

The only subject she taught was Chinese, which was a drag. Without Chinese, Lu Yuan's average score could have been raised a few points.

Winning the team is not scary, but it will be embarrassing if someone is missing.

In fact, Lu Yuan could probably guess why the Chinese teacher called him to the office. New teachers are always eager to achieve good results. He scored 73 out of 100. He is still in the first year of high school and the score is based on a 100-point system, so he passed.

But compared to those science teachers, this beautiful female teacher who was teaching in her first year seemed a little frustrated.

Lu Yuan didn't have a deep impression of his Chinese teacher in the first year of high school. He just remembered that she had just graduated with a master's degree in Chinese from a university in C9. After getting her certificate and training, she came directly to Yunhai No. 1 Middle School to teach. Her ability was evident.

However, the teachers in No. 1 Middle School are all of similar ability and have several levels of experience higher than hers. Although she is well-liked by students, it is only because she is closer in age to the students, and it is not a recognition of her ability, similar to what happened with Old Chen.

Although Lao Chen is rather fierce, the students all recognize his abilities.

Facing the Chinese teacher's gradually icy gaze, Lu Yuan bravely walked to her desk and said angrily, "Teacher, you're looking for me?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's subconscious use of honorifics, the other teachers couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Lu Yuan frown. "Can you please stop adding fuel to the fire?" Didn't you see that the Chinese teacher's brow was black?

The Chinese teacher tried her best to maintain a faint smile, but her aura was still cold. When she was in college, everyone thought she was an iceberg queen type, but in fact she was not, she was just more serious.

"Test paper." She stretched out her hand, and Lu Yuan put the test paper in her hand.

The Chinese teacher took out the grade-level Chinese report card and pointed at a certain place. "Tell me, what's written here?"

Grade average: 77.7

"What about here?"

"Class average: 76.9"

"how about you?"

"71"

Lu Yuan shrank his neck, thinking that this would be noticed by the Chinese teacher. Even if the score was not up to the average, it was still a pass, right?

With a loud bang, the Chinese teacher slammed her hand on the table. Not only Lu Yuan, but even the senior teachers in the office were frightened by Teacher Li. "Do you know why you only got 71?"

"..."

"say!"

"Probably..." Lu Yuan scratched his cheek, "Because of the subjective questions in the reading?"

The Chinese teacher's veins bulged slightly, and his fingers trembled. "That's a reason, but it's not the main reason."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart sank. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Because of the composition?"

"That's right!" the Chinese teacher said angrily. "You knew your essay lowered your score, yet you still wrote like that! You only got 20 out of 40. I see your other grades are either full marks or close to full marks. You clearly have a solid foundation, yet you wrote an essay like this?"

Lu Yuan felt he had to make an excuse, "Teacher, I think my composition is pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it. Could you please take a look and see if I made a mistake?"

The Chinese teacher slapped her hand on her forehead, obviously she was deeply shocked.

"Composition, please recite your masterpiece to the teachers here." She said somewhat desperately.

"This is not a good idea. Will it affect other teachers?" Lu Yuan said with some fear. He wondered if he shouldn't have been so stubborn just now.

"It's okay, Lu Yuan, just study." The physics teacher said with a smile.

"Yes, just read it and that's it. Teachers have received strict training. No matter how funny it is, we won't laugh." The chemistry teacher said, patting his chest.

The biology teacher pried open his mouth with two fingers and muttered softly before saying, "Unless I can't help it."

Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He trembled as he lifted up the test paper, looked at his own composition, and recited: "After Rebirth..."

"Stop!!!" Lu Yuan had just said his title when he was ruthlessly interrupted by the Chinese teacher, "How did you manage to say these three words in front of so many people?"

Was this saying he wasn't afraid of shame? Lu Yuan explained, "Teacher, I don't think there's anything to be embarrassed about. Those who achieve great things would have torn off their dignity, thrown it on the ground, stomped on it, and walked away."

The Chinese teacher looked at Lu Yuan, who looked like he didn't know where he had gone wrong, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the topic of the composition?"

"About dreams." Lu Yuan looked at the title of the composition. As the first formal examination for high school entrance, such a composition topic can easily arouse students' imagination and generate expectations for the future. Teachers can also point out the way forward based on students' dreams.

"So your dream is to be reborn? To get into the best university after your rebirth? There are classmates in your class who dream of getting into Capital University, just like you. I just don't understand why you added the prerequisite of rebirth."

79. This old woman is hopeless [38/73]

"Maybe... because it's more real. No, this is what a dream is." Lu Yuan replied with a serious face, "It's precisely because it's impossible to achieve that it's a dream."

His rebirth was his secret, and he would not let anyone else know, at least not his teacher.

"Oh?" The Chinese teacher raised an eyebrow. Perhaps she was extremely angry. At this moment, she felt her body gradually turn cold. "Is it possible that dreams can come true? And that's not the point. The key is how you are going to realize your dream. Since you want to be reborn to be admitted to Capital University, how are you going to be reborn? How will you be admitted to Capital University? Look at you, the premise of the whole article is that you have been reborn, and then all you have to do is study hard and fail the college entrance examination to get into Capital University!"

Lu Yuan felt aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to explain: "Teacher, I think that if I work hard, I can get into Jingcheng University. Moreover, I think the most important thing in writing is to express my true feelings. I put a lot of emotion into this essay."

The Chinese teacher raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? I'd like to hear your opinion."

"First of all, Jingcheng University and Bowang University are the top two universities in the country. For the average student, it's not necessarily possible to get into them in three years. Assuming rebirth, from the day of the college entrance examination to the day of high school enrollment, that means you have nearly six years to pursue your dreams." Lu Yuan said seriously, and continued:

"That's where geniuses gather. In previous years, only about a hundred geniuses in our province could pass. For those who fall just short, that one or two point gap is like an insurmountable chasm. Repeating a grade doesn't guarantee passing, because the questions are different, and there might even be new question types, which could lead to worse scores than the first time. So I think we should travel back three years and study again. Not only would we be three years younger, but Chinese is a subject that requires continuous learning. Wouldn't three more years of studying Chinese be just right? Plus..."

Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, the teacher with a crew cut and wearing a blue shirt at the next table suddenly laughed out loud, and then the other teachers couldn't hold it in any longer and started pounding their desks with laughter.

"Still laughing!" The Chinese teacher was furious. Even though she was a newcomer, she was unafraid of the seniors in the office. "Wait until this brat makes a fool of himself like this one day, and I'll see if you can still laugh!"

The physics teacher touched his bald head and said, "I'm not worried about that. Lu Yuan has an excellent foundation in physics."

"Xiao Li, everyone has things they are not good at. Just teach them slowly." The chemistry teacher said while drinking coffee.

"I don't really care about jokes or anything like that." The biology teacher paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "Besides, comprehensive science isn't Chinese."

The three liberal arts teachers discussed it with each other, and the history teacher spoke up, "We think Lu Yuan will choose science, so we won't participate in the discussion."

Homeroom teacher Lao Chen stroked his chin. Facing the younger Chinese teacher's plea for help, as the homeroom teacher, he naturally had to say something fair, "Lu Yuan's vocabulary is close to that of the Level 4 exam. I'm not worried about him."

The Chinese teacher felt her eyes go dark, and she lay down listlessly. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the math teacher. This old and senior teacher, who was older than Lu Yuan and herself combined, had been unhappy with Lu Yuan for a long time and hoped that the math teacher could say something for her.

The math teacher adjusted his glasses, glanced at Lu Yuan, and said through gritted teeth, "Lu Yuan doesn't need me to teach him, he knows it all."

The implication is that she doesn't want to bother Lu Yuan.

The Chinese teacher was in despair and drooped down in horror.

This was the first time Lu Yuan saw this strong woman with a master's degree from C9 collapsed on the table. In fact, he knew that his Chinese was not good, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Chinese relies on accumulation. For a student like him who barely got into No. 1 Middle School by relying on a good performance in the high school entrance examination, the fastest way to improve his scores is to learn comprehensive science and mathematics well.

I learned English because I wanted to study computer science. When I looked up information in the database, it was basically in English. Sometimes direct translation would lead to errors, so I had to learn English well.

As for liberal arts...geography and history are quite interesting. As for politics, as long as you have good ideas, you can probably get high scores by memorizing the knowledge points.

Under this premise, he naturally formed the habit of avoiding Chinese. In addition, the slogan for getting high scores in the college entrance examination is "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses", which further strengthened his choice. This is why he has such a serious imbalance in his academic performance, even though he is now a senior high school student.

Apart from the rote memorization part, for other comprehension questions, you just need to write them down according to the format. There is no guarantee of getting a high score, but at least you can get some points.

In the college entrance examination, he scored full marks in mathematics and almost full marks in comprehensive science and English. So why didn't he get into those two universities?

I can only say that Chinese is too difficult. You have to understand words and sentences, recite ancient poems, classical Chinese texts and translations, and tackle reading questions that even the authors themselves can't get high scores on. Finally, you have to write essays with abstract topics.

"Lu Yuan, are you dissatisfied with me in some way? 20 points for the composition... hehe, 20 points... I got full marks in one or two other subjects, but I did so poorly in Chinese..."

Lu Yuan rubbed his nose, feeling the need to argue. "Teacher, didn't I pass? There are many others who scored 60 or 70. Why did you only pick me?"

The Chinese teacher didn't answer Lu Yuan. Her expression was blank, and she kept muttering, "Why can the seniors bring up two students who are in the top two of the grade, but I can't? Is there something he's dissatisfied with me that I haven't noticed?"

Holy shit! Teacher of Relationships, are you arguing with other teachers? You can even roll up your sleeves like this?

The Chinese teacher's eyes were empty as she continued to mutter to herself, "Assuming that the subjects have been divided now, it's equivalent to him getting full marks in everything except Chinese. He's obviously so smart, but he deliberately did poorly in Chinese. He must be protesting that I'm not qualified or capable enough, right? I understand all this, hehe..."

It's over. This new teacher who has completed both a bachelor's and a master's degree has lost herself. "Teacher, please don't be like this. I have never disliked you."

This might be the first time that Lu Yuan communicated so closely with his Chinese teacher before the class division in the first year of high school. Because he started to study super seriously after the class division, he was also surprised that his Chinese teacher was under such great pressure.

"For seven years at university, my roommates have achieved academic success, career success, and love life, but I've been the only one who hasn't found a boyfriend. Not only do my students dislike me, but I've thrown myself into teaching, yet it's been a struggle." The Chinese teacher hung her head, feeling disheartened. "Students who call me 'sister' are probably secretly calling me 'old woman'. After all, there's a double-digit age gap between us..."

"..."

This old woman is hopeless!

80. I disagree! [39/73]

Lu Yuan asked other teachers for help, but at this time the teachers in the office all lowered their heads and started working, as if they didn't notice Lu Yuan's gaze at all.

Damn, these adults who only know how to watch the show!

The Chinese teacher was still like a broken stone statue, giving up on himself. This made Lu Yuan feel helpless and guilty. "Um... Teacher, I will definitely do well in the next monthly exam, at least get an average score - average for the grade."

Because the class average was lower than the grade average, in order to reassure the Chinese teacher, Lu Yuan referred to the grade average.

The Chinese teacher suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan, a glint in her eyes, then dimmed. "Forget it, Lu Yuan, there's no need to comfort me like this. I know it's difficult to improve your Chinese grades in a short time. If you let your other subjects fall behind for the sake of your Chinese grades, how sad the teachers in the office will be."

"Teacher, there's no need to worry about this. I'll get the score I'm supposed to get in the next monthly exam."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, a strange color suddenly appeared in the Chinese teacher's eyes. At that moment, her breathing seemed to quicken.

"Okay, in that case, during the afternoon study session, Lu Yuan, come over and take a test on your own. I will personally supervise and grade your paper. If you don't reach the grade average, you will have to stay behind at night and I will give you one-on-one tutoring." The Chinese teacher waved his hand and made a decision for Lu Yuan.

"Ah? In the afternoon?!!!"

The Chinese teacher suddenly turned her dejected attitude and transformed into the evil queen. "Yes, does Lu Yuan want to go back on his word?"

"But I'm talking about the monthly exam!"

"Oh?" The Chinese teacher raised an eyebrow. "Who says monthly exams can only be held at the end of each month? Ever heard of surprise monthly exams?"

"Wow, you insidious adult! You actually lied to me!" Lu Yuan finally realized that the teacher was acting and tricking him!

The Chinese teacher, with a flushed face, opened the thermos and poured herself a cup of tea.

Her expression was elegant and her movements were precise. She didn't look like she was crying just now at all.

"Student Lu Yuan, you seem to have not understood something." She crossed her legs, the curve of her chest and the black stockings on her lower body sketching out a beautiful picture, and smiled, "You know, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive!"

At this moment, the Chinese teacher was like a sexy older sister in a nightclub. Her every frown and smile seduced the men around her like a fairy, but no one could catch her and they were played around by her.

Lu Yuan's expression at this moment was quite interesting, his face was turning pale and blue. He never expected that he would be tricked.

Not only the Chinese teacher, but even the subject teachers who were busy working just now raised their heads and said, "Well said, we will test as many students as we should."

The math teacher said leisurely, "It's a long way to go. I don't have as much free time as the Chinese teacher. If you don't get a perfect score on the next monthly exam, you'll have to double the homework."

Huh? Lu Yuan's forehead was filled with question marks. "No, Math Teacher, why are you joining in on this fun? Do you have some deep grudge against me?"

Oh, it seems that there really is one. That’s okay then.
