Chapter 91

PS: Keep recommending and collecting...

At this moment, Wang Xinping's expression was quite vivid.

The old man's face was full of disbelief, his mouth hanging open. He never expected that Xiao Fei could recite the text and key points so fluently, even more so than himself.

The old man was a very individualistic and proud person. He always took the textbook and slapped it on the lectern, then lectured without referring to the book, spouting off every text and grammar point to show off his expertise.

Xiao Fei's performance today had truly struck a blow to him.

Xiao Fei's demonstrated strength was absolutely stunning.

To be so familiar with the textbook, it really didn't matter whether he listened in class or not. However, the old man was still very upset.

There was no other reason; he believed there was something wrong with Xiao Fei's character.

This preconceived bias was deeply rooted in his mind and wouldn't change easily.

"Hmph!" He snorted heavily through his nose, said nothing more, and turned to leave. Just then, the bell rang for the end of class.

As soon as Wang Xinping left, the classroom erupted.

Students began to marvel and discuss. Many girls turned to look at Xiao Fei, their eyes filled with admiration. If Li Tangqiu's grand introduction of Xiao Fei had made many people不服气 (unconvinced) before, now they truly understood how formidable Xiao Fei was.

Yan Zhang and You Gui walked over and pulled Xiao Fei downstairs to smoke.

"You little brat, did you take some gunpowder? Have you been diligently practicing at home all this time? Have you already unblocked your Ren and Du meridians? How could you memorize the English text so well? Come clean, did you just happen to memorize that one?" You Gui, with a cigarette in his mouth, interrogated Xiao Fei aggressively.

Xiao Fei smiled and dodged: "You guess."

"Guess my ass! From now on, I really need to ask you more about English." You Gui blew out a smoke ring and said.

A few people were fooling around downstairs.

Yan Zhang was curious about why Xiao Fei had a special fondness for Xu Fengjuan. Xiao Fei gazed into the distance, as if seeing through the mist of time to a distant future. He explained that there is a kind of love called love at first sight.

Yan Zhang, covering his cheeks, said, "Damn! You're so damn cheesy, my teeth are aching. Is there really such a thing as love at first sight? I don't believe it!"

Upstairs in the classroom.

Li Peizhen was whispering to Wang Fei.

"Looks like Xiao Fei is pretty strong in English. He must have worked hard at home after the college entrance exam," Wang Fei said.

Li Peizhen pouted, "His English was just average before, not even as good as mine. I guess he just happened to memorize that text."

"That's still pretty impressive. But didn't you say his math is very poor?" Wang Fei's face took on a serious expression; he now considered Xiao Fei a highly significant competitor.

"Xiao Fei's poor math is well-known."

"That makes it easier. As long as his math holds him back, he won't be able to top the class. We'll stick to the original plan," Wang Fei said.

Xu Fengjuan's mood had been unsettled since Xiao Fei passed her that note. Although she didn't look back, she closely monitored Xiao Fei's movements.

Xiao Fei's astonishing performance in reciting the English text and key points also shocked her.

Her English had always been good, and she had consistently ranked high in the weekly exams, which was why Wang Xinping favored her. But she couldn't memorize every English text so fluently.

This made her feel even more surprised.

This boy seemed to be really excellent.

After class, when Xiao Fei, Yan Zhang, and You Gui passed by her, laughing and chatting, her whole body tensed up.

She sensitively noticed that he glanced at her a few times.

She was really afraid he would stop and say something more, but he passed by without saying anything, which left her feeling disappointed.

Wang Xinping returned to the research room of the liberal arts class and, throwing the book, began to angrily talk about Xiao Fei's poor behavior: not focusing on his studies, showing affection to a girl, and disrespecting the teacher.

He said that no matter how good a student's grades are, they won't achieve much in the future if they behave like this.

The teachers also chimed in, bringing up again how Xiao Fei had groped Qian Meiju's chest during the college entrance exam. The conclusion was that Xiao Fei's character was indeed problematic.

This made Li Tangqiu's heart race.

He recalled that Xiao Fei didn't seem to be so low before. Could it be that his good college entrance exam results made him arrogant and reckless?

Li Tangqiu couldn't sit still.

He believed that good students are like saplings; if their branches grow crooked, they need to be pruned quickly to prevent them from becoming useless.

He got up to find Xiao Fei.

At the door, he met the class monitor, Zhai Tao, and inquired about what had happened in the classroom. Zhai Tao didn't hide anything and recounted the events.

At first, Li Tangqiu's brows furrowed.

When he heard about Xiao Fei's astonishing performance in reciting the English text and key points, his frown eased: as long as the student's studies were not problematic, other issues could be negotiated.

But he still needed to talk to Xiao Fei about it.

Zhai Tao pointed out where Xiao Fei was.

Li Tangqiu walked over and saw Xiao Fei, Yan Zhang, and You Gui smoking and fooling around. He gave Yan Zhang and You Gui a stern look, wary that they might have led Xiao Fei astray.

"Xiao Fei, come over here, I have a few words to say to you," Li Tangqiu beckoned to Xiao Fei.

Yan Zhang and You Gui hurriedly stomped out their cigarettes.

Xiao Fei walked over, "Mr. Li, what's up?"

"Um, let's go over there to talk," Li Tangqiu pointed to a quiet spot.

Xiao Fei followed Li Tangqiu to the spot, knowing that Wang Xinping must have been angry in the office and that Li Tangqiu was going to have a heart-to-heart with him.

"Xiao Fei, I know what happened in class. I don't need to repeat all the big principles to you. I'll just say one thing: now is not the time for romance! It's normal to have a crush on a girl, to like her, and want to get closer to her, but you should keep these feelings in your heart and focus on your studies first. After you pass the college entrance exam next year, you can continue then, isn't that right?" Li Tangqiu said earnestly, his tone not scolding but trying to be gentle and persuasive to avoid provoking Xiao Fei's resistance.

"Mr. Li, I understand," Xiao Fei said.

"You, you!" Li Tangqiu pointed at Xiao Fei, "You're just too impulsive. When you get to college, there will be so many good girls waiting for you! Making a choice too early might make you regret it later."

"Um, but I've already set my sights on Xu Fengjuan," Xiao Fei said with a faint smile, not intending to hide it.

"..." Li Tangqiu was speechless, realizing that his words were falling on deaf ears.

"Setting your sights on her isn't impossible, but wait a bit. After the college entrance exam, when everyone is less stressed, you can deepen your relationship. Wouldn't that be better?"

"Mr. Li is right, I won't let it affect my studies," Xiao Fei assured him.

"That's good." Li Tangqiu shook his head, thinking that this boy was quite stubborn. He felt he couldn't say more; if Xiao Fei became resentful towards him, it would be bad.

Hmm, he could talk to Xu Fengjuan and ask her to be a bit colder towards Xiao Fei, not to agree to a relationship with him.

"Mr. Li, is there anything else?" Xiao Fei asked.

Li Tangqiu patted his head and said, "Almost forgot, there is one thing. The new week's weekly exam is the day after tomorrow. Since you just arrived, do you want to participate? My suggestion is that you skip this one, get more familiar with the textbook, and then aim to surprise everyone next week. What do you think?"
