Chapter 11 Face to Face, I Avoid Her Edge?
Chapter 11 Face to Face, I Avoid Her Edge?
Every year, countless cultivators study Xuan-rank techniques for more than ten years, only to be eliminated in the junior high level and their dreams are shattered in the senior high level. Fifty percent of the senior high level cultivators then undergo three years of seclusion in forbidden areas and pass the sect competition to finally reach the university level, giving them the opportunity to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of Tian-rank techniques.
Now that the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques of the human race are within reach, and with elders personally explaining their experiences, theoretically speaking, this is the perfect opportunity for us human cultivators to hone our skills and strive for advancement.
But the first one who couldn't help but start sleepwalking was Ma Xu.
"Brother Ma, study a little longer. We've only been asleep for less than an hour." Chen Che held out his pen and used it to prop up Ma's swaying head.
The calculus teacher simply drew an integral symbol on the blackboard, but in Ma Xu's eyes it had become crooked and distorted, just like the murals on Xia Ke Island. Some people had grasped the knife technique, some had grasped the sword technique, but no one could see that it was the Tai Xuan Scripture.
"What does it mean that a function is differentiable at a certain point? Ah, what does it signify? Let's discuss it together..."
Zhao Zilong, wearing thin-rimmed silver glasses, still had a refined and scholarly demeanor. He answered earnestly, explaining that differentiability necessarily implies continuity.
Chen Che asked, "Zilong, do you understand?"
"Hmm, these are all very basic, nothing difficult. Even someone who's not very bright can learn calculus, right?"
"Okay, look, Brother Ma is about to faint."
"You'll learn it by the end of the semester."
......
When the bell rang for the end of the second class, everyone packed up and prepared to go back to the dormitory. Chen Che slung his backpack over one shoulder and was about to leave when he heard a shout stop him: "Chen Che, come here for a second."
I've heard that voice so many times over the past few days. I saw Chen Sui standing in a corner at the other end of the surging crowd, biting her lower lip with a look of dissatisfaction.
She wore a beige T-shirt on her upper body, and her two shapely and strong legs were hidden in indigo jeans, but her snow-white ankles were exposed.
Chen Che glanced at her face, which was still slightly tanned from the recent military training and hadn't fully recovered, and asked from a distance, "What's wrong?"
"Come here first."
If you don't tell me anything, how am I supposed to decide whether or not to go?
Chen Che turned his head away, preparing to return to the dormitory with his roommates, but unexpectedly, these guys betrayed him first: "Class monitor, is there anything we need?"
"no."
"Oh, Chezi, we're heading back now. Bring me some food on your way back."
Chen Che: "?"
Watching his half-brother's resolute departure, Chen Che reluctantly moved closer to Chen Sui.
"Comrade squad leader, what are your instructions?" Chen Che spoke first.
"Chen Che," Chen Sui paused, thought for a moment, exhaled, and said directly:
"I don't know if you have any complaints about me, or about me being the class monitor. I hope you can tell me directly now."
If I have made a mistake, I will correct it. If you personally have any complaints about me, I would also like to hear them.
"Uh..." Chen Che hadn't expected her to say such a thing. Thinking about it carefully, Chen Sui really didn't have anything wrong with her.
During this short period since the start of the school year, she promptly conveyed the teacher's notices, answered her classmates' questions seriously, and never shirked responsibility. Even something as simple as moving textbooks was not something she did simply because she was the class monitor and a girl, but instead delegated it all to the boys.
Thinking about it, there's really nothing to criticize.
Chen Che shook his head and said, "Squad leader, where did you get that idea? I have no problem with you."
"Then why don't you come to evening self-study? And you're the only one in the class who doesn't come."
The counselor already informed us that it's best to develop good habits during the first month, such as reading books and previewing your major courses.
Although I'm a university student now, my most important task is still studying.
Don't get into the habit of doing nothing; you'll end up wasting your time. The advisor said he'll be checking on people randomly.
Only after Chen Sui spoke did Chen Che realize that she was still upset about him not going to evening self-study.
Before Chen Che could retort, Chen Sui, still pouting, added relentlessly, "Besides, I asked the boys, and they said you weren't even in the dorm yesterday!"
Holy crap, there's a mole in the dorm? That's something Chen Che really didn't expect.
Seeing that he was frowning and silent, Chen Sui pressed her advantage: "And when we were ordering textbooks before, you were the only one who didn't order them, so I said, if you have a problem with me, please just say so!"
Chen Sui got so anxious talking that she puffed out her cheeks, looking like an enraged pufferfish raising its quills to protect itself.
However, in Chen Che's eyes, although she seemed aggressive, it was only on the surface. Chen Che was not afraid of her at all, and even found her a little cute.
If she really is a pufferfish, then I'll have to pinch her and scrub her slippers too.
"Class monitor, I think you're oversimplifying the issue. Does disagreeing with you mean you're being rejected or targeted?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Then I can tell you directly why I don't order textbooks."
"Did you know that there are many business owners or senior students at the school who recycle and resell used textbooks?"
If you buy second-hand textbooks directly from them, they can be at least half the price of brand new ones.
And even if some items are unavailable, you can simply buy them online.
Of course, it's not just textbooks; many materials for civil service exams and postgraduate entrance exams are also being resold, and some even include notes.
"Huh?" The look of surprise on Chen Sui's face showed that she obviously hadn't thought about these things.
The idea that "textbooks can be bought secondhand" is actually based on a certain information gap. Since everyone has only been enrolled for a short time, they haven't thought about this yet.
While Chen Sui was somewhat speechless, it was Chen Che's turn to retaliate.
"So, class monitor, try to think from the other person's perspective, try to think from the perspective of your classmates, and ask yourself why."
Why should I buy second-hand textbooks? Why shouldn't I attend evening self-study sessions? Only then can you better manage the class and serve the students.
In this particular case, you should even suggest that the students from impoverished families in your class consider buying secondhand textbooks to save some money.
Only then can I feel at ease adding points when calculating GPA at the end of the semester.
"Although I can sense that you are a serious and hardworking person, as class monitor, you are still a bit too inexperienced."
"Well... I still need to practice."
Chen Sui originally felt that she was beyond reproach both publicly and privately, but after listening to Chen Che's words, she felt as if she had made a huge mistake.
She wanted to defend herself, but her throat felt dry and her nose felt a little sore. Chen Che's words made it sound like she hadn't done her job well, and she even started to sob a little. She felt like crying, but she held back.
She simply watched in silence as Chen Che slowly walked away.
