There are also some courses like Ideological and Moral Cultivation, which don't require much after-class review. Bai Jiaojiao plans to first develop a study habit and lay a solid foundation from the beginning.

In her first year of university, Bai Jiaojiao had two English classes a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays. She could proudly say that this was her forte.

She was quite looking forward to class.

As a result, Bai Jiaojiao was embarrassed when the English teacher walked in.

"Bai Jiaojiao, don't go yet."

After class, Xiang Anqi called Bai Jiaojiao by name.

Bai Jiaojiao really wanted to cover her face, but she still politely put her textbooks into her schoolbag and went to the podium: "Teacher Xiang, what a coincidence that you are our class teacher."

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao's pitiful and guilty look, Xiang Anqi couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you say you applied to the School of Foreign Languages? I feel like your school's admission score is even higher than that of the School of Foreign Languages. Bai Jiaojiao, you really make your teacher very sad."

"..." Bai Jiaojiao clutched her backpack strap. "I'm studying this major, so aren't I your student too?"

Xiang Anqi shook his head helplessly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that some students in your class have a very poor foundation in English. The school understands this situation and requires us to start teaching from the basics, but isn't this course too easy for you?"

"Today's lesson was indeed quite basic. But some people still can't keep up." Bai Jiaojiao recalled how, in order to test everyone's English level, Xiang Anqi had everyone stand up one by one and read a sentence from the text. She felt a little sorry for Shu Manling's embarrassed face because she couldn't pronounce it.

"There's nothing I can do if they can't keep up. They either have to study hard after class or cram during exam week. This is Yenching University, after all. I can't start teaching from ABC."

That's not what Xiang Anqi wanted to say. If it weren't for the school's requirement that all lecturers and professors be assigned teaching duties, Xiang Anqi wouldn't want to teach at all.

What score did you get on your English test in the college entrance exam?

“98,” Bai Jiaojiao said.

Xiang Anqi felt even more regretful; such a good foundation would place them among the top in their department.

“You…” Xiang Anqi sighed, “What you learned this semester is basically useless to you. Coming here is a complete waste of your time. From now on, you don’t need to come to these two classes. Come to me every week and I’ll give you some challenging homework.”
