Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Sheep and the Top Student

Teacher Qian made no secret of his fondness for the student Zhen Yu, heaping praise upon her in front of the whole class before he started going over the test paper.

While teaching, he would occasionally look up to see if the students were paying attention to the lesson.

After a few times, he noticed something odd.

Zhen Yu kept her head down, engrossed in a book, never looking up from the start to the end of his half-period lecture.

What could be so captivating?

Driven by curiosity, Teacher Qian walked down from the podium, leading the class in reading the new lesson’s text while making his way towards Zhen Yu’s desk.

As he drew closer, he noticed that Zhen Yu was reading an English book, but something seemed off.

He stopped beside her, and Zhen Yu calmly looked up at him, then bowed her head again.

Tsk! This kid isn’t scared of teachers at all!

Looking more carefully, he realized that the book on her desk was clearly not a first-year junior high school textbook!

Teacher Qian stopped reading aloud and reached out to flip over the cover to take a look.

Oh, it’s a second-year textbook.

He froze for a moment—second-year!?

Is this kid self-studying? No, I’ll need to take her aside after class to ask!

-

Despite being as anxious as a cat with an itch, Teacher Qian still had to finish the lesson with patience.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, he immediately announced the end and called out to Zhen Yu, "Follow me to the office."

Zhen Yu put away her second-year English textbook into her backpack and followed behind Teacher Qian with composure.

Qian Duoduo had also glanced at the book when her father was looking at it and realized that what she thought was review was actually ’pre-learning’ in advance.

Once Zhen Yu left, the classroom erupted.

There was a lot of speculation, but most suspected that Zhen Yu had been caught by Teacher Qian for reading extracurricular books during class.

Liu Ting and Fu Yu were arguing earnestly, "Zhen Yu studies so well! She would never read unrelated books during class!"

"You’re just blatantly jealous! Unable to do well yourself, you can’t stand to see others doing well!"

Only Qian Duoduo understood what was happening, but she didn’t want to explain for Zhen Yu, as her self-esteem was struck yet again.

Anyway, everything would be clear once Zhen Yu came back.

Qian Duoduo couldn’t sit still for a minute, and abruptly stood up, heading towards the classroom door.

She needed to see what exactly her father wanted to say to Zhen Yu!

-

The door to the teacher’s office was not fully closed. Qian Duoduo walked up to the door and was just about to knock when Teacher Qian’s voice came from inside.

"Why are you being so stubborn? Self-study can’t be better than my tutoring, can it? Or is my teaching not good enough?!"

"It’s good! But I won’t be tutored."

"I’m not asking for payment! I just see potential in you and want to help you avoid detours. Wouldn’t it be nice to study with Duoduo at my place?!"

"No, it wouldn’t."

"You,"

"Dad!" Out of impatience, Qian Duoduo burst through the door, "If she doesn’t want to learn from you, why are you so insistent?!"

Turning, she glared at Zhen Yu with raised head and fury, "If you look down on my dad, then you might as well skip all the English classes! Go find whoever you fancy to teach you!"

Teacher Qian quickly stood up and pulled his daughter aside, rebuking her gently, "Duoduo."

Zhen Yu remained calm, looking faintly at the top female student.

She truly! Didn’t! Look down on Teacher Qian.

On the contrary, he taught very well.

But after experimenting, she realized that the Knowledge Points she gained from the systematic teaching were half of what she could learn from self-study!

What a sad story...

Qian Duoduo’s eyes blazed with fire, unyielding as she locked eyes with Zhen Yu.

-

Zhen Yu let out a sigh. If she didn’t agree now, the grudge would be set in stone.

Although she wasn’t scared of that, it would be like inviting a lightning strike to waste someone’s kindness!

In her previous life, she couldn’t even beg for someone to be this nice to her! Except for Han Mingyue...

Her thoughts suddenly drifted to her previous life, her eyes brimming with moisture. Zhen Yu forced a smile to hide her sorrow, "Teacher Qian, can I bring someone with me? They’re also a top student."

"Top student?" Teacher Qian didn’t quite understand the term but quickly responded, "Sure! Whether it’s one sheep or two, uh..."

Zhen Yu skipped past the ’herding sheep’ part and explained, "A top student is a dominant force in their studies, ruling over that domain."

"Oh? Are you talking about yourself?" Qian Duoduo, having seen Zhen Yu agree to tutoring, was a bit less angry but couldn’t help but tease her.

Zhen Yu gave a sidelong glance at the top female student of both this life and the last, and teasingly shot back, "That includes you as well."

"..." Qian Duoduo, identified as a top student, experienced a surge of emotions.

Was this Zhen Yu’s acknowledgment of her? The young girl swiftly applied the label of top student to Zhen Yu.

She puffed up with pride and declared, "To be acknowledged as a ’top student’ by you, I’m very proud!"

"Pfft!" Teacher Qian couldn’t help but laugh at his daughter’s adorable behavior, "Enough, you two. From now on, Zhen Yu can come to Teacher’s home on weekends! You should get along well, and Duoduo, you’ll be relying on Zhen Yu to look after you!"

The last sentence was obviously addressed to Zhen Yu. Zhen Yu nodded and humbly said, "Let’s learn from each other."

Qian Duoduo bristled at her dad’s words, thinking, relying on her? How was she any less capable?!

About to start questioning, she heard Zhen Yu’s words and let out a haughty snort, sparing her own dad.

-

The two of them walked side by side to the classroom.

Along the way, Qian Duoduo psyched herself up, suddenly stopped, turned to Zhen Yu, and said, "Let’s be friends from now on!"

Zhen Yu paused for a second before continuing forward, casually dropping a sentence, "We already are."

Qian Duoduo instantly got it and chased after her with a smile.

"Then you should talk to me more in the future!"

"Talk to you more? Then you can talk to yourself."

"Annoying!" The young girl pouted, "I hate the name dad gave me..."

-

After lunch, the four of them sat in the living room watching TV to help digest.

Han Mingyue hesitated for a moment and still chose to sit next to Zhen Yu to speak, "I need to talk to you about something."

Zhen Yu sat up straight and looked at Han Mingyue, signaling she was listening and could speak.

Han Mingyue pursed her lips, glanced covertly at the two who were sitting there as if they had no care in the world, "Let’s talk inside."

Zhen Yu readily stood up and walked into the small bedroom ahead.

"Our Chinese teacher said," Han Mingyue licked his lips and continued shyly, "that my essay for the National Day test was very good and suggested I submit it to ’Children’s Literature’ magazine."

Zhen Yu’s eyes shone. Is this the beginning? Did he start his writing career this way in her previous life?

Zhen Yu wanted to wholeheartedly approve with both hands and feet, but all that came out was one word.

"Submit!"

Han Mingyue smiled, a shy smile that nonetheless revealed absolute confidence.

Zhen Yu unabashedly stared at him, making the young boy blush.

Awkwardly, he said, "You, "

Zhen Yu quickly diverted his attention, "I have something to tell you, too."

"What is it?"

"Come with me for English tutoring!"

"Tutoring? I don’t need it."

"It’s free! Our English teacher insists on helping me, and I want to bring you along."

In her previous life, Zhen Yu remembered Han Mingyue mentioning that English only started in junior high school and had been dragging him down through high school.

Since she had to tutor, Zhen Yu wanted to give Han Mingyue a helping hand.
