Chapter 289: Teacher, do you believe in light?

~7 min read 1,350 words

Just as Chen Zhuang was at a loss, the English teacher walked into the classroom holding a textbook.

He was a male teacher who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing glasses, tall and thin.

"The teacher is here."

Chen Zhuang, in a flash of inspiration, changed the subject and turned his head back.

Shen Siqi, who was sitting behind him, rolled her eyes at him but didn't press the issue.

"Good morning, everyone!"

After the male teacher stood on the podium with a smile, he greeted all the students in fluent spoken English.

A few outgoing students responded loudly.

After putting down the textbook in his hand, the male teacher rested his hands on the podium and scanned the faces in the classroom.

"Wow, there are quite a lot of handsome guys and beautiful girls here!"

The teacher feigned surprise and complimented them.

The students below were stunned for a moment, and then some began to jeer excitedly.

"Teacher, you even noticed that? Your eye for detail is too good."

"Haha... Teacher, you spoke such a big truth the moment you arrived, it makes me feel very embarrassed!"

"Teacher, you are also very handsome!"

On the podium, the male teacher's smile became even brighter. He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote two Chinese characters and a few English letters on the blackboard.

"Let me introduce myself. This is my name, Xu Wenliang, and my English name is Gavyn."

"Gavyn, Jiawen?"

A male student in the front row asked curiously.

"That's right."

Teacher Xu nodded with a smile.

"Teacher Gavyn, is there a story behind this English name of yours?"

A female student followed up and asked.

"There's no story. When I was in college, the teacher asked us to give ourselves an English name, so I chose this one. Gavyn comes from Welsh; it's an imposing name that gives people the impression of being independent and positive."

Teacher Xu explained with a smile.

"It is indeed imposing. Teacher Gavyn, then do you believe in light?"

Ceng Xin, who was sitting a bit in front of Qin Tian and the others, suddenly asked loudly.

The classroom suddenly went quiet, and then a burst of laughter rang out.

Xu Wenliang looked at Ceng Xin and said amusedly, "I do believe in it, but, teacher, my name is Gavyn, not Ultraman Seven."

"I know, as long as you also believe in light, then we are good friends."

Ceng Xin nodded solemnly.

"Okay!"

Xu Wenliang responded with a smile.

"Hahaha..."

The laughter in the classroom became even more cheerful.

"Ceng Sanjin, are you kidding me!"

"Stop talking, my stomach is going to hurt from laughing."

"You guys don't know, this guy watches Ultraman in the dormitory every day."

"To tell you the truth, I also quite like watching it; Tiga is my favorite."

"Hehe... fellow traveler!"

Many boys got excited when they started talking about this topic and began to discuss it with great enthusiasm.

Most of the girls couldn't empathize; they felt that boys who were this old and still liked Ultraman were indeed too childish.

"I say, can you boys not be so childish? Learn from Qin Tian, be a bit more mature and steady."

Cheng Meng suddenly shouted in a loud voice.

Many students heard this and cast their gazes toward Qin Tian in unison.

Teacher Gavyn on the podium saw this and followed their gaze to look at Qin Tian, observing him with some curiosity.

"What?"

Qin Tian was a bit confused, not knowing how it got to him.

Xia Nuannuan beside him smiled with her eyes curved, covering her mouth and giggling.

"Men are boys until they die, you know? Who hasn't watched Ultraman!"

Ceng Xin shouted loudly, unconvinced.

"That was when you were a child. Ask Qin Tian, does he still watch it now?"

Cheng Meng said with a speechless expression.

"Ultraman, huh? I really haven't watched it for a long time."

Qin Tian smiled, then his expression turned serious and he said, "However, I also believe in the existence of light."

As he spoke, he raised his hands and crossed them in front of his chest, performing the classic move of Ultraman releasing a light beam.

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at him with astonished eyes.

Cheng Meng covered her face with her hand, feeling that she had truly underestimated the influence of Ultraman.

"How come... Qin Tian looks so handsome even when doing such a childish move!"

A girl said with a lovestruck look.

"Yeah, it feels quite interesting, so funny!"

"After class, I'm going back to the dorm to reminisce about my childhood too!"

"When I was a kid, I think I really watched a lot of it. The protagonist of Tiga was quite handsome."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember him too. This show is indeed quite good, and the theme song is also nice."

In the classroom, the girls' attitudes changed abruptly.

The boys were speechless when they heard these comments from the girls.

So it turns out that as long as you are handsome, being childish doesn't exist!

Qin Tian lowered his hands, turned his head to look at Xia Nuannuan beside him, and winked at her.

"Childish ghost!"

Xia Nuannuan pouted and gave her evaluation, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The first class was a major course, and everyone was unwilling to be late.

When the class bell rang, the students from both classes had basically arrived at the classroom.

Xu Wenliang picked up an attendance sheet from under the textbook and began to call names one by one.

He called names very slowly, also to have a rough impression of each student.

After the roll call, a satisfied smile appeared on Xu Wenliang's face.

"Well, everyone is here. You all performed very well today. Keep it up in the future. I will be taking attendance every class."

As soon as his voice fell, the students in the classroom immediately complained in low voices with bitter faces.

Everyone naturally knew this wasn't true, but once these words were said, everyone would definitely not dare to skip this English class for some time to come.

Subsequently, Xu Wenliang talked about teaching-related issues.

University classes are naturally different from high school.

Teacher Gavyn clearly stated that during class, everyone should try their best to communicate in English.

"Everyone might not be used to it at the beginning, but this is also a way to exercise everyone's listening and speaking skills. Keep your attention focused, and you will get used to it slowly."

After saying this, he switched to English fluently.

"So, let's start the class now. Everyone open the textbook table of contents."

Since they were all able to get into Jiang University, everyone could understand this simple sentence, and Xu Wenliang deliberately slowed down his speaking speed.

Subsequently, Teacher Xu began the formal class.

The students were still listening very attentively; even if they weren't used to this all-English teaching method, they all frowned as they tried to understand.

Soon, everyone felt the difference from the high school period.

Xu Wenliang's teaching pace was fast. Often, he wouldn't emphasize a knowledge point several times like high school teachers did.

Coupled with the all-English teaching, the boys, whose English speaking skills were generally relatively poor, would fall behind the pace if they weren't careful.

Without being used to it, such a class sounded quite tiring.

Qin Tian, however, understood everything completely. After all, he had studied hard in his previous life and even passed the CET-6. Later, through tempering in the workplace, his spoken English was further exercised.

He glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him and found that she also seemed quite relaxed, using two different colored pens to take notes quickly in the textbook.

Xia Nuannuan's English grades were indeed very good, but there were many in the class whose English was better than hers; it was unlikely she would be this relaxed.

"Is it the effect of that special skill, the Super Study God Aura?"

Such a thought surfaced in Qin Tian's mind. ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
