Lu Yuxuan thought he ate very quickly and the takeaway was only a few minutes later than the normal lunch time, but the teacher still showed up as soon as he said he would.
He had just finished half of his lunch when he saw the teacher standing in front of him with a few papers. He said in a stern tone, "It's been so long, and you can't even finish your meal. You can't do anything all day long, and you can't eat enough!"
Lu Yuxuan subconsciously shrank his neck. It was not right to eat with the chopsticks, nor was it right not to eat.
Xia Nan suddenly raised her hand and said loudly, "Teacher, Lu Yuxuan's lunch was just delivered a few minutes ago, and lunch time hasn't ended yet. Is there any problem with him continuing to eat?"
The teacher probably didn't expect anyone to refute him. He was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier and slapped the podium with his hand.
"When I say time is up, it's time! When I say you're not allowed to eat, you're not allowed to eat! Am I the teacher, or are you the teachers? Now you dare to talk back to me, right? Are you all asking for a beating?!"
An expression of impatience gradually appeared between Xia Nan's brows. Just as he was about to stand up and continue to confront the teacher, Lu Yuxuan quickly grabbed him.
"Forget it, we can't argue with him," Lu Yuxuan said in a very low voice, "I'm full anyway, I won't eat anymore."
Xia Nan watched him quickly close the takeout box and throw it into the trash can. Thinking about the teacher's behavior of getting into trouble over a disagreement, he finally held his words back.
The room became quiet again. The teacher seemed very satisfied with the students' submission to him. He folded his arms and raised his chin slightly, looking down at them in a condescending manner. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"As a student, you should obey your teacher's words in every way and not disobey. Otherwise, you will be punished. After being punished enough, you will naturally become sensible."
"Wrong logic," Xia Nan muttered softly, lowering his head.
Lu Yuxuan was worried for him. He glanced at the teacher secretly and saw that he probably didn't hear it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You will have one hour of self-study," the teacher said. "I'll hand out the papers to you. You must finish them within this hour, and then I'll explain."
When Lu Yuxuan took the test paper and took a closer look, his heart instantly died.
English questions are his weakest.
Facing the teacher's gaze, Lu Yuxuan gritted his teeth and did the questions that he could barely understand. Then he racked his brains to recall the words he had memorized in recent days, and suddenly realized that what he could remember were actually the ones Lu Ziyi had taught him before.
No matter what, he still remembered some of it. Lu Yuxuan hurriedly wrote it on the test paper, fearing that he would forget it again in the next second.
His attention was completely focused on the test paper, and he didn't even notice when the teacher left.
Xia Nan quietly moved the stool closer to Lu Yuxuan, then touched him and whispered, "Lu Yuxuan, today's questions are a bit difficult. Are there many questions you don't know how to answer?"
"Um... yes." Lu Yuxuan glanced in the direction of the podium, and seeing that no one was around, he dared to continue in a low voice, "Are you done?"
Xia Nan nodded and pulled the paper closer: "Copy quickly."
Lu Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly copied down a few multiple-choice questions. But then he paused and said hesitantly, "No, I'm afraid the teacher will find out that I copied them, and then I'll get beaten again."
"But if your score is too low, you will be scolded," Xia Nan said in a low voice.
"Being scolded is better than being beaten." Lu Yuxuan stopped writing. "Why don't you tell me about it? At least it won't be so embarrassing when I answer the questions."
"Okay," Xia Nan agreed happily, "Let's keep our voices down. I'll write on a blank piece of paper. You watch me."
Lu Yuxuan nodded and watched him write seriously.
Because they were worried about disturbing the other three students who were answering questions, the two of them made almost no sound and sometimes communicated by writing.
Fortunately, Xia Nan explained in enough detail that Lu Yuxuan could basically understand it.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Xia Nan was so engrossed in lecturing when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure at the door out of the corner of his eye.
He subconsciously looked up and saw the teacher pick up the blackboard eraser and throw it at them.
And judging from the direction it was thrown, it was directed at Lu Yuxuan, but this person didn't notice it at all.
Xia Nan reflexively raised his arm to block Lu Yuxuan, preventing the flying blackboard eraser from hitting his head.
Although it is not a heavy object, it still hurts when thrown at someone, especially since the base of the teacher's blackboard eraser is made of wood.
Lu Yuxuan suddenly raised his head, completely confused.
"Teacher, what are you doing?" Xia Nan was a little angry and asked on the spot.
"What are you two doing?" the teacher demanded loudly. "Did I tell you to talk? Instead of answering the questions properly, you're getting so close to me and chatting. Who gave you the guts?"
"We're not chatting!" Xia Nan replied impatiently, "We're just discussing the topic!"
"Discussion topic? Xia Nan, your brain is not working well, right? Can't you find someone else to discuss the topic? Why are you looking for Lu Yuxuan?"
The teacher snorted in annoyance, his tone filled with contempt and ridicule: "Playing chess with a bad chess player will only make you worse! Xia Nan, don't be so self-righteous. What's the point of being the top student in the class? Did you get a perfect score? Are you the provincial or municipal champion? You're still nothing!"
Lu Yuxuan felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this, and at the same time he felt guilty for dragging Xia Nan into this.
It would be better not to let Xia Nan explain the questions to him... Alas.
Xia Nan simply stood up and said to the teacher, suppressing her anger: "Teacher, I don't care what you say, but can you please not always speak harshly to Lu Yuxuan? He has tried very hard."
