Chapter 86

It has to be said, Li Tangqiu is a very opportunistic person. He is always so attentive to students who perform well academically, while he ignores those who do poorly.

Xiao Fei was a good student when he was in the regular class.

In 1996, he scored just a few points below the undergraduate line in the college entrance exam.

How could a student like this, coming back to retake the exam, not be welcomed by Li Tangqiu? How could he not be treated like a precious gem?

However, big brother, you're going a bit overboard, you know? It just makes people feel uncomfortable.

After helping Xiao Fei settle into the dormitory, Li Tangqiu looked at his watch and said to Xiao Fei, "Xiao Fei, the first class is about to end. Let's go to the classroom, and I'll help you find a good seat."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Xiao Fei followed Li Tangqiu, carrying his backpack, into the classroom for the first-year retake class.

At this moment, the class had just ended, and the students were just getting up to stretch. When they saw the homeroom teacher bringing a student in, they all sat down again.

Xiao Fei glanced around and saw that the classroom was packed with over ninety students, all of whom he naturally recognized.

Because of the memory enhancement from his rebirth, he could easily recall everyone's names.

However, at least a third of the students in the classroom did not recognize Xiao Fei. They were students who had come from other high schools to retake the exam.

Xiao Fei originally thought that Li Tangqiu would just find him a seat, which would be more low-key.

But he didn't expect Li Tangqiu to make a grand introduction, clapping his hands and loudly saying to the whole class, "I want to introduce a new classmate to everyone. This is Xiao Fei, a former student of the first-year liberal arts class. This year, he scored 640 points in the college entrance exam, just 3 points below the undergraduate line."

The classroom erupted in a buzz, mostly from students who didn't know Xiao Fei, while his familiar classmates remained calm.

Xiao Fei noticed that Xu Fengjuan, who had been looking down, raised her head and looked at him with surprise. She didn't expect this somewhat rascally student to have such excellent grades.

With such a high score, if he had chosen his college wisely, he could have easily been admitted to a regular teacher's college.

And yet, he had come back to retake the exam.

His classmates who were close to him nodded and smiled at him, while the fat Wang Fei just pursed his lips, looking不服气 (unconvinced), and whispered something to his desk mate, Li Peizhen.

Li Tangqiu was very satisfied with the students' reactions and continued, "Moreover, in this year's college entrance exam, Xiao Fei scored a perfect 900 in history, setting a new record for our Heyang No. 1 High School."

Someone led the way, and the class erupted in thunderous applause.

"Alright, today, Xiao Fei will be retaking the exam in our class. I want to arrange a seat for him in the front. Which of you can be generous and give up your seat for Xiao Fei?" Li Tangqiu waited for the applause to die down, looking at the students in the first three rows who were not performing as well, and made his request.

Damn!

Xiao Fei was taken aback.

This was setting him up to offend people!

Since he was late, according to the rules, he should just sit wherever there was an empty seat. How could he ask for such a privilege that would hurt others' self-esteem?

Xiao Fei saw that there was an empty desk in the last row, where he would have more freedom sitting alone.

However, if the skinny girl sitting next to Xu Fengjuan gave up her seat, he wouldn't mind sitting there.

But that girl clearly didn't have that awareness.

The students in the first three rows remained silent, with no one volunteering to move and give up their seat for the new top student, Xiao Fei.

However, Xiao Fei soon realized that he had underestimated his personal charm.

A boy sitting in the middle of the fourth row, blushing and stammering, stood up and said he was willing to move and let Xiao Fei take his seat.

His desk mate was Yao Jina.

At that moment, she was looking up with a charming smile on her face, gazing at Xiao Fei.

When she heard Li Tangqiu say that someone in the front row should give up their seat for Xiao Fei, she had softly spoken a few good words to her original male desk mate.

She said that her academic foundation was too weak, and if a top student could sit next to her and help her, her grades might improve faster.

Her pitiful plea instantly defeated the boy, making him willing to sacrifice himself and move to the back of the classroom to fulfill her wish.

Seeing Yao Jina's smiling face, Xiao Fei felt a chill run down his spine.

Just a short while ago, this girl had been cozying up to Wang Likai, and now she was targeting him? What did she think of her feelings?

The past was still vivid in his mind.

Although the pain this girl had caused him had faded, he couldn't hide his aversion to her.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'll just sit at the empty desk in the last row," Xiao Fei politely declined Li Tangqiu's offer.

At the same time, he nodded to Yao Jina's male desk mate to show his gratitude.

"What? Sit in the last row? That won't do. It's too far from the front, and you might not be able to see the blackboard clearly. If the teacher's voice is a bit low, you might not understand the lecture," Li Tangqiu objected. "Just sit in Li Yanwei's seat. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Helping Li Yanwei with his studies in the future will be the best compensation for him."

The boy named Li Yanwei was standing in the aisle with his textbooks. When he heard Xiao Fei say he would sit in the last row, he was delighted, thinking he could continue sitting next to the beautiful girl.

But when Li Tangqiu insisted that Xiao Fei sit in his seat, he was shocked again.

What was this? Was he still supposed to give up his seat for Xiao Fei?

"Mr. Li, I really think it's better for me to sit in the back. I prefer a quiet environment, and sitting in the back will help me focus better on my studies," Xiao Fei insisted.

As he said this, he looked in Xu Fengjuan's direction.

However, he was disappointed; Xu Fengjuan never raised her head to look at him again.

Seeing that Xiao Fei was determined to sit in the back, Li Tangqiu was somewhat helpless and had to agree. He helped Xiao Fei move his chair and backpack to the empty desk in the last row.

He then gave Xiao Fei a few more instructions, telling him to come to him if he had any difficulties, and that he would help him as soon as possible.

After Li Tangqiu left, the class erupted into chaos. Several students rushed to the back of the classroom, carrying their books as if in a race.

This scene left Xiao Fei speechless. Damn! What was this all about?
