Chapter 28: Submit assignment 014, scored 1
Inwardly, however, she was immensely irritable.
Chen Zhu at her side had caught on, having not recognized Bai Lian earlier, but now, upon hearing Ren Wanxuan mention her, he recalled the person he had seen on the street that night.
Some relative of the Ren Family, though he didn’t know exactly what their connection was.
If Bai Lian had joined the training class because of the Ren Family, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
He nodded and continued to focus on his practice questions.
The others looked at each other in confusion.
Every person in the training class knew what this class was for.
An app reserve slot for Jiangjing University.
Every person in this room was truly talented; the initial test for math was extremely difficult, yet the comprehensive science was just giveaway points, with several sitting here who had scored full marks in it.
Putting aside 85 points here was almost unheard of in the whole school.
“85?” Shi Yutong raised her voice, “Then how did she get in here?”
She had good grades, and because of her family situation, she had learned to network from a young age, grouping together with others in school and looking down on the ordinary students.
With such a score, Bai Lian’s presence here clearly highlighted her as a “connection-based” attendee.
However, Shi Yutong wasn’t overly concerned, for even if Bai Lian had pulled strings to get in, could she really be more influential than the Chen or Ren Families?
A few who had wanted to add Bai Lian on WeChat now forcefully restrained themselves from doing so.
“Why is it so quiet today?” The substitute teacher was the homeroom teacher of Class 8, Grade 3, and also the head of the physical science department. Wearing glasses, he turned on the projector to start the lesson for the class, smiling warmly at these top students: “As usual, everyone will watch a one and a half hour lesson and do half an hour of practice questions. We’ll finish at eight o’clock.”
The lesson was a video recording from a famous teacher’s competition class at a high school affiliated with Jiangjing. Math and physics were alternated.
Today’s lesson was on physics.
After starting the video, the homeroom teacher also sat at the back with a pen and paper to watch along with the students.
Today’s physics lesson included electromagnetism and the theory of relativity.
The video clearly explained everything from the special theory of relativity to electromagnetism. Bai Lian listened intently for the first time to the concept of time dilation.
She found the concept frightening because it meant that the flow of time was different for everyone.
The video ended promptly at 7:30 PM, and the homeroom teacher distributed practice problems he had printed out, “This is the question for today. You all can work on it. I’ll collect it tomorrow evening, and it will be part of your regular evaluation.”
The auditorium quieted down to just the sound of pages being turned.
After distributing the questions, the homeroom teacher, with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly walked over to Bai Lian and looked down at her.
Like Lu Lingxi, he had received a call from the principal days before, but he knew more than Lu Lingxi did – the principal took special interest in this transfer student named “Bai Lian” and had instructed him and the math teacher to take good care of her.
So, upon his arrival today, he couldn’t resist shifting his attention to Bai Lian. The questions printed by the training class were synchronized with the video and were very difficult, all originating from Jiangjing. In the past, he had always focused on Chen Zhu and Ning Xiao, but today, he made an exception to watch Bai Liane
He was curious whether she could solve it.
Bai Lian was unaware of the homeroom teacher’s thoughts; she glanced at the question, then casually set the paper aside.
She took out a book and slowly flipped through it.
The homeroom teacher who was waiting to see her solve the question was
puzzled: ” . . .?’i
Write, will you! Why aren’t you writing?
Student, do you have a problem with me?
He waited, undeterred, for ten minutes.
Realizing that the student had no intention of writing, he stood up, emotionless, ready to go home. It was clear that this student was quite rebellious.
Normally, the last half-hour was optional for students to stay, with substitute teachers typically leaving early.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. Wait, the book Bai Lian had taken out was— “Physics at Jiangjing University”?
“Physics at Jiangjing University” wasn’t for sale to the public; only students from Jiangjing University’s physics department had access to it. Getting into Jiangjing University was hard enough, let alone its top-ranked physics department.
The homeroom teacher didn’t even know anyone from the physics department at Jiangjing University.
He walked out, contemplating in silence.
He had to find a chance to deceive—
No, to borrow the book from this student to take a look.
Meanwhile, Bai Lian read her book while taking notes.
She turned the pages gently.
“So annoying!” In front of Ren Wanxuan, Shi Yutong coldly glanced towards Bai Lian and, seeing that Bai Lian had put her assigned problems aside and was just flipping through a book, couldn’t help snapping, “If you’re not interested in studying seriously, can you at least not disturb others? Your constant page-flipping, don’t you find it bothersome?!”
Surnamed Bai, Shi Yutong had searched all over Xiangcheng and couldn’t find a family with the surname Bai..
