Chapter 170

~11 min read 2,139 words

One night of autumn wind, the sky was as blue as a quiet lake, and large clouds were like small islands floating on the lake surface.

The three-day National Day holiday flashed by, and Statistics Class 1 welcomed its first class, College English.

If Grade 12 was a devil camp and military training was purgatory, then the freshmen who had just escaped from the devil camp and purgatory were undoubtedly full of longing and anticipation for university life.

Especially for the first class, the class bell hadn't even rung, and the classroom was already packed, everyone present. Each one was waiting expectantly, full of a sense of holiness.

The 325 group, who didn't arrive too late, no longer had good seats and could only huddle in the last row.

It was a bit coincidental, the front row was Liu Yue, Zhou Min, Chen Guifen, and the people from Li Xian's dormitory.

Actually, he understood why they sat in such a back row; it was truly because their dormitory's height was a bit excessive. There were 4 people over 165cm, exceeding the other dormitories in the class by a large margin.

If they sat in the front row, how would the other girls live?

Little did he know that the shortest girl in the class, named Yang Guilin, was only 153cm, truly interpreting what it meant to be petite and exquisite.

When 325 sat down, Li Xian turned around and asked impatiently: "Is it true that the girls in the class are spreading that your dormitory held a beauty pageant?"

Hearing this, everyone in 325 looked at each other, inexplicable meanings flashing in their eyes, all fiercely speculating: Who is the damn traitor?

Seeing that no one in 325 made a sound, Li Xian couldn't hold back and asked Hu Ping and Tang Dailing directly: "Hey! I heard that you two lost the beauty pageant vote to Wei Xiaozhu, and that's why you were punished to eat fat meat, right?"

Hearing this, the girls in the front row turned their heads and stared over in unison.

Tang Dailing hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at them. Especially not daring to look at Liu Yue.

Being watched by so many girls, Hu Ping was also a bit guilty, and defended himself with a fake smile: "We were joking, who did you hear that from?"

Li Xian said clumsily: "My Chinese isn't good, but I'm not stupid, I won't betray friends."

Sure enough, there's a traitor!

The people in dormitory 325 looked at each other again, their eyes full of murderous intent.

Li Xian asked Hu Ping curiously again: "Why did you vote for Wei Xiaozhu? Is she really prettier than Yueyue? Or is it like what Li Guoyi said, Yueyue threw your 3 love letters into the trash can, and you are taking revenge for personal grudges?"

Hu Ping's face was embarrassed, and he turned to glare at Li Guoyi.

Li Guoyi raised his hands in surrender: "Brother Hu, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I only said that in the dormitory, I didn't tell them, there's a traitor in our dormitory."

Hearing this, the front row laughed out loud.

Hu Ping was so angry he spat blood. Didn't this indirectly confirm his crime of taking revenge for personal grudges?

Didn't this confirm the fact that he wrote love letters to Liu Yue and didn't succeed?

Hu Ping carefully peeked at Liu Yue. But Liu Yue didn't pay attention to him at all. She hadn't looked at this guy once since entering the classroom for so long, instead writing a note to Li Heng:

Content of the note: How about performing a program for the freshman welcome party on October 20th?

As soon as Liu Yue, the most eye-catching person in the class, made a move, people from the two dormitories were curious about what was written on the paper, but because of their reputation, they weren't good at stretching their necks to look openly.

Li Heng picked up his pen and replied simply: Busy, no time.

He wasn't prevaricating, he was truly busy. There were still over 100 books and literature materials he hadn't studied yet, where would he have that leisure?

After reading, Liu Yue hesitated for a moment and wrote: Who did you vote for?

Li Heng was speechless, looked up at Liu Yue, who was acting as if nothing had happened, and secretly said: Am I that familiar with you? Isn't it just that we stared at each other for a month during military training? Don't be sentimental.

He replied: I didn't vote.

Liu Yue's gaze lingered on the paper for three seconds, she grabbed it with her right hand, and put the note into her pocket.

The two of them passing notes on their own made the people from the two dormitories stunned, shouting in their hearts one after another: Hey, hey! This is a public place, can you two be a bit more reserved?

"Ding-a-ling..."

The class bell rang, and everyone quieted down one after another, but after waiting for two minutes, they didn't see the teacher appear, and they couldn't sit still.

What's going on?

This is the first class of university!

Another 3 minutes passed, the front door of the classroom was pushed open, and a woman with long black hair, a black trench coat, and full scholarly temperament walked in.

At just one glance, the boys and girls of Statistics Class 1 were immediately conquered, their resentment gone, sitting upright, meticulously watching the woman in front.

Li Guoyi said excitedly, suppressing his voice: "Holy crap! Is this our beautiful teacher? She's too beautiful!"

Li Guang nodded fiercely like a chick: "Isn't it, I want to be the English class representative."

The gold content of the beautiful teacher greatly exceeded the expectations of the group of teenagers and girls. Suddenly seeing her, their hearts were so warm, instantly falling in love for the first time, as if they had been secretly in love for many years.

Li Heng could truly understand the excitement of these hormonal young men. Even though he possessed peerless beauties like Xiao Han and Song Yu, he still had to sigh: This beautiful teacher's mature woman style combined with the rich scholarly air is quite eye-catching, the lethality is top-notch!

Look, even Zhang Bing, who was married, reached out and grabbed Li Heng's hand, forgetting himself and saying: "We're in our class, we're in for a treat."

After speaking, Zhang Bing realized he was being reckless and smiled unnaturally at Li Heng.

Li Heng cast an "I understand" look, everything was understood without words.

The beautiful teacher put the books on the desk, opened them, then reached out to pick a white chalk from the chalk box, half-turned, and wrote on the blackboard: Yu Shuheng.

After writing, she held the chalk head and introduced herself in English: "Hello students, my name is Yu Shuheng, I will be teaching you English from now on."

Then she talked endlessly about the importance of college English in fluent English, and even used 10 minutes to describe the general plot of the cross-century classic movie "Casablanca," and then...

Then the main event came!

Seeing her standing on one side of the podium, with a smile on her lips, she asked: "Does everyone understand? Who can retell it in English?"

Hmm...! Still full of English.

Retelling on the spot, and retelling such a long movie, even if everyone was a top student admitted to Fudan University, the difficulty was also very great. This didn't just test English foundation and spoken language, but also tested the big heart and memory.

More importantly, the vocabulary Yu Shuheng used in her description just now had a quarter that was obscure and difficult to understand, seriously exceeding the syllabus.

Not to mention that students in this day and age weren't like later generations, no mobile phones, no computers, no internet, the channels for English contact were few, basically relying on self-study to succeed.

Didn't you see that in order to learn English, Zhang Bing could only memorize the dictionary?

If talking about reading and writing ability, everyone could still fight.

And spoken language? City kids might be better, hey, country kids were one worse than the other.

This is the English teacher's warning!

This is a naked warning!

Everyone looked at each other, not a single person stood up to answer.

Beautiful but black-hearted, many people muttered about the English teacher like this in their hearts.

After waiting for a while, not seeing anyone stand up automatically, Yu Shuheng took the roster and called names one by one: "Who is the class monitor? Retell it."

Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue stood up, spoke English for about 7 minutes in one breath, then stuttered, and had no follow-up.

Even so, everyone still found her amazing, because Liu Yue didn't retell it randomly, it was basically correct.

Yu Shuheng listened and nodded: "Pronunciation is standard, although not retelling the original, but also retold two-thirds of the content with her own understanding, very good."

Then she continued to call names: "Who is the league branch secretary?"

Li Guang stood up bitterly, stammered for less than 2 minutes, and then hung his head and went silent. The wilted appearance completely lacked the heroism of shouting to be the English class representative before.

Yu Shuheng didn't evaluate, and called down: "Deputy class monitor."

The deputy class monitor was a girl, but she came from the countryside, presumably she hadn't used English to communicate normally, and her spoken language was rotten.

Yu Shuheng also didn't evaluate, and later called all the class cadres once.

The result was that the highest levels were class monitor Liu Yue and entertainment committee member Zhou Min.

Yu Shuheng stood on the podium, looking down at the roster without making a sound.

The classroom was very quiet, the students were stunned, and no one made a sound.

After a long time, Yu Shuheng raised her head, and a name came out of her mouth: "Li Heng, which student is Li Heng, stand up and retell it."

Li Heng: "..."

Damn it, your underpants were still plastered on my glass window the night before last, and in the blink of an eye, you're asking who I am?

Deliberate, absolutely deliberate.

I don't know what kind of abacus she was playing in her heart, but he couldn't let Teacher Wang Runwen down.

No choice, facing the attention of the whole class, Li Heng rattled off, retelling the movie "Casablanca" in one breath with ease.

The pronunciation was so accurate! The spoken language was so fluent! The content was so perfect! The vocabulary was so incisive! Completely no worse than the English teacher!

The whole class stared blankly at him for several seconds, and then, under the instigation of dormitory 325, applause was sent up.

When the applause stopped, Yu Shuheng smiled and said: "Very good, it seems there are still students who are hiding their talents, student Li Heng brought us a surprise."

Speaking of this, she paused and looked at Li Heng: "Have you seen the movie 'Casablanca'?"

Of course he had seen it, and more than once, but Li Heng didn't admit it, because his first 18 years of life experience didn't have the conditions to watch the movie.

He shook his head.

Yu Shuheng was a bit surprised. She had once sent a videotape of this movie to her best friend Wang Runwen, and thought Li Heng had seen it.

Immediately, on the grounds that Li Heng's English level was high, she appointed him as the English class representative.

This appointment made a group of students in the class, especially the male compatriots, very envious.

It cannot be denied that, excluding the excellent external conditions, Yu Shuheng's teaching method was still very charming and fulfilling. After two classes, everyone didn't feel bored, and before they knew it, it ended.

As soon as the second class bell rang, Yu Shuheng announced the end of class, picked up her books, and left, not dragging her feet at all.

However, she didn't leave from the front, but went out from the back door. When passing by Li Heng, she said gently: "Come out."

Watching the two walk out of the classroom door one after another, the boys in the class were sour again. Although they knew clearly that there was no possibility of Li Heng and the teacher crossing the line, but being close to the water tower gets the moon first, it was good to be pleasing to the eye at close range.

Arriving outside, Yu Shuheng didn't stop her steps, continued to walk forward, and didn't explain.

Helpless, Li Heng had to follow, pondering in his heart what exactly she was looking for him for?
