Ma Bai: “…”
How to say it.
People are greedy.
When you can't squeeze in, just hope you can squeeze in.
I really squeezed in, and just hoped I could have a seat to sit.
Now that I have a place to sit, I hope the position is just right so that I can hear the class and interact well with the teacher.
"Just make do with it. It's better than having no place to stand." Ma Bai muttered to himself to comfort himself.
Calm down.
Don't be greedy.
Be contented and happy.
Just when it was Ma Bai's turn, a somewhat familiar head popped out from the team in front that was responsible for maintaining order.
“Ma Bai!” Chen Qiming bared his teeth and waved his hands at Ma Bai with a bright smile: “Here, here!”
Ma Bai: “?”
Ma Bai looked at Chen Qiming in surprise, then looked at the people around Chen Qiming who were obviously his seniors, his eyes full of surprise.
"How did you do this?"
How did he sneak into the team of seniors who were maintaining order so quickly? "Hey, hey, hey!" Chen Qiming rushed to Ma Bai's side in two or three steps, half-hugging Ma Bai's shoulders, and said with a brotherly expression.
"I went to look for my seniors last night and asked them if they needed any help!"
"I'm strong, capable and obedient!"
Chen Qiming recounted everything he had done yesterday.
Ma Baiting was amazed.
sharp.
It’s really amazing.
Shameless, outgoing, easy to talk to, good at self-recommendation, in short, it's all something that everyone has heard of and knows about, but when it comes to actual operation, it's an absolute mess.
Chen Qiming successfully joined the team of seniors.
"I got up at 2:30 in the morning! I've been busy ever since!" Chen Qiming said energetically and vibrantly, not showing any sign of tiredness from getting up so early.
I usually sleep until 8:30 in the morning, but today I woke up at 6:30. Ma Bai is a little sleepy now: "..."
very good.
This is another point that cannot be learned.
It’s impossible to learn. Even if you know how Chen Qiming did it, you can’t learn even a little bit.
There really is a gap between people.
"My senior and I asked for a few seats near the front. They may not be that good, but we can still be closer to Professor Qiao Bai." Chen Qiming said again.
"Let's do it together!"
As he spoke, Chen Qiming's eyes fell on Sima Wen who was with Ma Bai: "Are you Lao Ma's friend? Come along!"
"Is it okay?" Sima Wen said with a smile, "Will it bother you?"
Chen Qiming glanced at his senior classmates.
Zhu Jun, a sophomore this year, looked at them and couldn't help but smile kindly. Thinking about them last year...
"It's okay." Zhu Jun waved his hand.
"Although the seat is relatively forward, it is half blocked by the pillar. The angle is a bit unfavorable. If you don't mind, there is no problem."
This isn't a concert though.
But maybe Professor Qiao Bai will take out a PPT or something like that to give an explanation?
People who are assigned to this kind of position will feel more or less unwilling.
I was assigned to the front row, why is it this position?
Zhu Jun and a few others decided to reserve these seats as a favor to those who helped maintain order.
For those who are assigned to a farther position, this position is still quite good.
Ma Bai and Sima Wen naturally had no objection.
Very good, very good.
This is much better than they imagined! "Then I'll take you in first." Chen Qiming said to Ma Bai and Sima Wen with a smile.
Then he turned back to Zhu Jun and said, "I'll be back soon!"
"Go ahead! There aren't many people here!" Zhu Jun waved his hand and let Chen Qiming go and play with his classmates.
Chen Qiming chuckled: "It's okay! I like to help!"
After a busy morning, by 8:20, the entire auditorium was full and the standing rooms on both sides were also packed.
Only then did Chen Qiming happily return to the position between Ma Bai and Sima Wen.
"You are really energetic." Ma Bai, who was sitting on the left of Chen Qiming, glanced at Chen Qiming who was still as energetic as in the morning, and couldn't help but say with emotion.
Chen Qiming grinned and scratched his head: "Hey, it's okay!"
"I also woke up at 4:30 in the morning during the summer vacation."
"This morning's work is not as tiring as the mountain climbing training I took Fairy Butterfly to!"
Ma Bai: “…”
Getting up at 4:30 to climb the mountain? Is this training a pet or training a person?
Just when Ma Bai wanted to say something, there was a noisy sound outside.
Qiao Bai is here.
The moment Qiao Bai walked into the auditorium, the entire auditorium fell silent for a moment.
Then, an even more ear-piercing cheer erupted the next second.
There is no need for Qiao Bai to distinguish them carefully.
You can hear people shouting his name - they seem to be his admirers? Qiao Bai: No? Do you really think this is an idol fan meeting?
Shouting questions and trying to ask him.
Qiao Bai: It’s a good idea, but unfortunately there are too many people talking and I can’t hear clearly.
There is also a small and very united force that shouts out support for whatever choices he makes.
Three big question marks popped up in Qiao Bai’s head.
Finally, Qiao Bai gave up thinking.
never mind.
It's not a big problem.
Just follow his own process and rhythm.
Qiao Bai walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone in front of him, and coughed twice: "I was a little surprised to see so many students when I walked in."
There was a hint of ambiguity in Qiao Bai's voice: "But I still want to thank everyone for supporting my open class, so as not to make me lose face in the academic world."
As Qiao Bai's voice fell.
There were bursts of laughter from the cheering crowd below.
As for what Qiao Bai said about losing face... ahem, they didn't believe it anyway.
rear.
Zhou Xinran leaned quietly against the door frame with her arms folded, her eyes fixed on Qiao Bai.
“Tsk tsk!”
"As expected of Professor Qiao Bai, he captured the hearts of these students right from the start!"
A voice came from the side.
It’s Huangzhou.
Zhou Xinran glanced sideways, then turned back to look at Qiao Bai: "When did you come? You are free?"
Huangzhou stroked the stubble on his chin and chuckled.
"Whether you have time or not depends on the person!"
Huang Zhou puffed out his chest and looked quite proud. "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't know, but for Professor Qiao Bai, I'm definitely free anytime!"
Hearing Huang Zhou's shameless words, Zhou Xinran's mouth twitched slightly.
But Zhou Xinran didn't think there was anything wrong with what Huang Zhou said.
really.
After all, Qiao Bai has brought influence and help to the economy of NY City... Well, if Huangzhou unilaterally supports Qiao Bai one day, Zhou Xinran won’t find it strange.
"The main reason is that I don't quite understand the significance of Professor Qiao Bai's open class?" Huang Zhou didn't know what Zhou Xinran was thinking.
He touched his chin, his eyes also fell on Qiao Bai's back, his eyes full of doubts.
After being together for such a long time, Huang Zhou can't say that he understands them 100%, but compared with other people, especially the students sitting in the auditorium.
Huangzhou thought he had a relatively deep understanding of Qiao Bai.
"Since we are all ready to participate in the National Beast Tamer Competition next year, Professor Qiao Bai should not waste his time on such meaningless things."
After saying this, Huangzhou let out a long sigh.
Why.
Professor Qiao Bai's talent in pet evolution research needs no explanation and really needs no description.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
However.
Qiao Bai’s attitude towards pet evolution research... People who don’t know Qiao Bai may not be very clear about it, and may be blinded by Qiao Bai’s frequent “screen swiping”.
I mistakenly thought that Qiao Bai was a diligent professor of pet evolution research.
That’s not actually the case.
The more people interact with Qiao Bai, the more they know how casual Qiao Bai is in his research on pet evolution.
It really is all about talent!
His baby!
What’s even more infuriating is that even though Qiao Bai has such an attitude, his talent is still unparalleled.
After meeting Qiao Bai, many professors of pet evolution research in NY City have experienced two or three rounds of changes in their mentality.
Then he convinced himself with great difficulty not to care about Qiao Bai's attitude and it would be better to concentrate on his own research.
Otherwise, you will be really shocked! Qiao Bai: “?”
The culprit, Qiao Bai, knew nothing about this.
Huangzhou actively cooperated and helped these pet professors adjust their mindset.
Qiao Bai’s strength is one aspect.
But relying entirely on Qiao Bai... Huangzhou felt that it would be better to continue training some other professors of pet evolution research.
real.
It’s not Huangzhou’s illusion.
Huangzhou really felt that maybe one day, Qiao Bai would completely change his career and become a beastmaster.
Thinking of this, Huangzhou shook his head.
I hope he's overthinking it.
"You really are indulging him." Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinran finally turned her head and looked at Huang Zhou.
He looked at Huangzhou from top to bottom, inside and outside, with a very strange gaze.
It seems difficult to understand Huangzhou's excessive open-mindedness.
Huangzhou: “…”
Huangzhou understood the meaning expressed in Zhou Xinran's eyes.
The corners of Huangzhou's mouth twitched.
Huangzhou wanted to say something.
Is this a matter of whether he is open-minded or not? Even if he doesn't want to be open-minded.
It's like what he can do to Qiao Bai! Qiao Bai is a person with his own will.
He is just the president of the Beast Tamer Association!
He is the one who relies on Qiao Bai for his livelihood! Zhou Xinran: “…”
Zhou Xinran looked at Huang Zhou, Huang Zhou looked at Zhou Xinran, and the two looked at each other, as if neither of them could quite understand the other's attitude.
In the end, the two of them turned their eyes away at the same time in tacit understanding.
Zhou Xinran: President Huang is too obedient, isn’t he? Oh! No more talking! Huang Zhou: Haha, you talk as if I can resist! It’s hard for me too!
"Qiao Bai is a responsible person." Skipping the previous topic, Zhou Xinran said in a light tone.
Unlike the others present.
Zhou Xinran knew Qiao Bai’s complete plan for today.
Her eyes fell on Qiao Bai again.
With just a few words, Qiao Bai had already taken control of the atmosphere of the entire place, making everyone's eyes and attention fall on him.
The entire auditorium was exceptionally quiet.
The only sound echoing in all directions was the sound that Qiao Bai transmitted through the loudspeaker, which was slightly distorted by the electric current.
"...I believe everyone has had some exposure to those theoretical things."
"Whether you are self-studying or waiting to study systematically after school starts, these written, theoretical knowledge and operations are at least not what you want to hear today, right?"
Qiao Bai knew nothing about the conversation between Zhou Xinran and Huang Zhou.
He smiled as he looked at the auditorium filled with people.
At a glance.
They are all human heads.
After hearing Qiao Bai's words, everyone nodded frantically in unison.
Yes, yes, yes.
That’s right.
They came to Qiao Bai's open class today, and they really didn't want to hear Qiao Bai talk about the same old stuff.
Other teachers will teach too! They want to hear something fun!
It would be best if Qiao Bai could directly impart some experience! Just like the mysterious grandfather in martial arts novels, directly teaching them martial arts secrets!
Qiao Bai: “…”
Facing these pairs of overly cooperative eyes, Qiao Bai's inner emotions became a little incoherent.
Too cooperative.
"Cough cough." Qiao Bai coughed twice, adjusted his mood, and then continued.
"Hmm..." Qiao Bai hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I have a rough idea of what everyone wants to hear me teach."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes became brighter and more excited.
Is this true or false?
Can they really hear Professor Qiao Bai’s unique secrets today?
"But unfortunately, I am too young. With my current level of knowledge, I am not able to systematically, easily, and barrier-freely impart the knowledge I know to you directly through brain waves."
Qiao Bai shrugged as he spoke, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
Many people laughed softly.
Many people seemed to have remembered something - oh yeah! Professor Qiao Bai was still very young this year!
Although a little bigger than them.
But it's really not that old! It looks like one or two years old at most.
There are even many people who are the same age as Qiao Bai.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes looking at Qiao Bai became complicated again.
What a terrifying man! Qiao Bai: "..."
I always feel that some people have made up some unnecessary plots.
Qiao Bai decided to skip it.
Don't think too much.
Don't make things difficult for yourself.
Qiao Bai spoke frankly about his shortcomings.
"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but please understand that not everyone can easily become a teacher."
Many people nodded.
really.
I understand.
It is one thing to learn well, but it is another thing to be able to express the knowledge in your mind easily.
So... they really won't hear anything interesting today? Everyone showed disappointed and sad expressions.
Just at this moment.
