Chapter 340: Campus Scholar System (12)
Xie Yang saw Jiang Yinian's interest, and added more fuel to the fire:
"I heard from the Informant that your grandmother isn't doing well? Is it a heart condition? It just so happens that my dad is on good terms with the vice president in charge of cardiology at Shiyi Yiyuan. I can help introduce you if you need it."
"……"
The Informant again? How come he tells her everything?
Du "the Informant" Huaiyao happened to be returning from the restroom, and upon hearing this, he stuck out his tongue guiltily.
It couldn't be helped, the transfer student gave too much—a lunch, she treated him to 28 yuan! Then she even went to the small shop and treated him to a can of chilled Sprite.
All he could do to repay her was to tell her everything he knew without reservation!
Jiang Yinian shot this guy a look of annoyance.
But having said that, the information Xie Yang threw out was indeed something he desperately needed right now, which made him stop hesitating: "Fine! But it has to start from next week."
When he tutored students outside, it was all settled on a weekly basis.
This week wasn't over yet, and he couldn't bring himself to stand his students up.
Xie Yang didn't mind waiting a few days: "Alright, then we'll start next week."
Tutoring could start next week, but the day's Tasks still had to be grinded.
Xie Yang took out the pile of homework she had accumulated throughout the morning: "Come on, Teacher Jiang, I don't know how to do any of these."
"……"
She was still so righteous even though she didn't know how to do them?
Jiang Yinian didn't know what to say to her, but what could he do? He could only patiently explain the problems to her.
The Scholar System was overjoyed: 【This deskmate's grades might be a bit trash, but she's such a good person! She's practically a little fairy sent here for you to grind points! Host, you must cherish her!】
"……"
……
During the two self-study sessions in the afternoon, Xie Yang cooperated with Jiang Yinian to finish all the daily Tasks for the day.
She put away her test papers and exercise books with satisfaction: "Let's stop here for today."
Save the rest to grind later.
If she learned everything all at once, how would she cooperate with him to grind Tasks in the future?
Jiang Yinian assumed she found it too brain-draining and couldn't take in any more today, so he didn't say anything.
After school, he still rode his bike in a hurry to tutor his students.
Xie Yang carried her backpack on one shoulder, one hand in her pocket, and walked across the school sports field with a relaxed expression. Just as she was heading toward the main gate, a volleyball suddenly flew toward her at high speed.
Accompanied by an exclamation: "Watch out, classmate!"
Out of instinct, Xie Yang pulled her hand out of her pocket, raised it to catch the volleyball, and immediately threw it back.
"Boom—boom boom!"
The volleyball flew straight over the net, landed inside the sideline of the opposite court, and then Rebounded out of bounds.
"Effective point!"
The referee presiding over the internal team match blew the whistle excitedly, then ran toward Xie Yang:
"Classmate! Classmate! Which class are you in? Are you a freshman this year? Your explosive power is so strong! Are you interested in joining our school volleyball team?"
Xie Yang: "……"
Before she could speak, other members of the school volleyball team also gathered around, looking at her curiously and talking all at once:
"Classmate, you aren't from our First High School, right? Your... school uniform..."
The tall girl in the lead actually wanted to say that her highlighted bangs and ear studs didn't look like a student, at least not a First High School student, but she felt it wasn't appropriate once the words reached her lips. She caught a glimpse of the logo on the chest of Xie Yang's uniform, and her eyes lit up:
"So you're from Deya International High School? Does that mean you came to our school to find someone?"
"Classmate, why didn't you apply as a sports student for First High School back then? The way you received and spiked that ball just now was super amazing, you definitely would have made it if you applied as a sports student!"
"……"
The more she heard, the more Xie Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm a transfer student, I just transferred to our First High School from Deya."
"Ah? Ahhh! You're a student at our First High School? That's great! Come join our volleyball team!"
"Yeah, yeah! After the captain graduates, we're just short of a main attacker with strong explosive power."
"Don't be in such a rush to refuse, why not play a game and try it out first?"
"Yeah, yeah! Maybe you'll fall in love with playing volleyball while you're at it!"
"……"
Just like that, Xie Yang accompanied the members of the school volleyball team to play a full match.
It was a good thing she told Song Shu in advance to go back first, and that she would take a taxi home later.
By the time it ended, the sky was already dark.
Walking out of the school gate, before she could take out her phone to call a taxi, she heard two honks of a horn.
Looking up, she saw Xie Ba getting out of the car with a smile, waving at her affectionately:
"Daughter, you must be tired, right? Get in the car quickly, your mom prepared a table of good food, we'll eat as soon as we get home."
"Dad, you're back?"
"Back! We just got home this afternoon. I heard from Song Shu that you've been leaving early and returning late these past few days, studying very hard. Your mom felt so bad for you, she spent the whole afternoon busy making a table of your favorite dishes."
Xie Yang: "……"
Had she been studying very hard these past few days?
How come she didn't know?
"Cough, Dad, I'm not tired, I was just playing around. The school volleyball team invited me to play a match."
"School volleyball team?" Xie Ba said with a smile, "That's great, daughter! First High School's volleyball team is famous. The fact that they invited you to play with them shows my daughter has potential in that area. How about this, Dad will scout a teacher for you and give you some special training? I heard there's a retired National Team volleyball coach who is from our Jiangcheng. I'll ask some friends to inquire and see if he has time. He can name his price, as long as he's willing to teach my daughter..."
Xie Yang hurriedly interrupted her father's spendthrift behavior: "Dad, it's just the school volleyball team, I can handle it. I scored sixteen points by myself today and helped my side secure the victory."
"Really?"
"Your daughter has talent!" Xie Yang said with a hint of smugness.
Xie Wenteng was coaxed into laughing heartily: "Let's go, let's go! Let's go home and open a bottle of Lafite! Celebrate! We must celebrate!"
……
Over here, the members of the school volleyball team were still gathered on the court for a late-night meeting.
"She's too awesome! We must pull her into the school team!"
"But she's in the Experimental Class, her academic grades must be top-notch; will her parents and homeroom teacher be willing to let her go?"
"Even if they won't, we have to try."
"Right! Try! How will we know if there's a chance if we don't try!"
"Then should we have Old Liu step in tomorrow?"
"Oh! We should have recorded a video just now! Old Liu is eager to cherish talent; as long as he sees the video, I guarantee he'll be even more invested than us."
"Hehe! I recorded it!"
"What? You recorded it?"
"Yeah! I thought our side would win, so I wanted to record it to show off on Moments, I didn't expect to lose so miserably... Ow! It's the first time in history we've been suppressed and beaten, so depressing!"
"Don't be depressed! Hurry, hurry! Send the video to me, I'll report to Old Liu right now..."
Thus, Liu Xinliang, the PE teacher in charge of the First High School volleyball team, received this video while eating dinner at home.
At first, he thought it was a video of the students' daily training, but as he watched, his pupils grew brighter and brighter.
He put down his chopsticks to make a voice call to the student who reported it, and after asking in detail, he didn't care that the rice in his bowl was getting cold and immediately dialed the principal's short-code to ask for the promising talent.
Principal Feng was confused: "Who are you talking about? Xie Yang from the senior year Experimental Class? The transfer student who just came from Deya International High School? Are you mistaken?"
Teacher Liu spoke with certainty: "If there is only one girl named Xie Yang who transferred from Deya International High School into the senior year Experimental Class, then it is definitely her!"
