Teacher Beard's answer almost made Jiang Nian laugh out loud.
"Teacher, this is too troublesome and not very effective. The most important thing is that I can't listen to the whole class carefully, and reviewing after class will also waste a lot of time."
Jiang Nian continued, "And my course didn't specify that you would be taught in French."
Beard suddenly felt that Jiang Nian's way of arguing was very similar to those people in his own country who went on strike for wage increases. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in the years he had been teaching in Japan.
Isn't it said that even if the Japanese don't want to, they will still go along with the group? At least not so openly.
The child's roar didn't make Beard angry. Instead, he felt an inexplicable joy. The plan he had prepared years ago finally came in handy.
"Oqi, I know you're talented in math and other science subjects, and you also have a great talent for languages," Beard said with a sudden kind smile. "I'm sure you'll be able to learn French quickly."
Jiang Nian frowned and began to think about what Beard meant by this. Was it really because he was incredibly talented? But he was just an ordinary student and not worth it at all.
Beard suddenly stood up, lowered his head and looked at Jiang Nian seriously, with a hint of smile in his encouraging eyes, and a deep voice came out from the corner of his raised lips:
"My class is small because I don't want too many people. Teaching undergraduates is just a small thing I have to do, but it should be very important to you. After all, my class is worth a lot of credits, more than the combined total of my two classes."
After Videl stood up, Jiang Nian had to look up. Only in this way could he see his face, which made Jiang Nian feel that his momentum was instantly weakened.
"I suggest you reconsider. The monks (graduate students) I've mentored are all very good. If I had to choose between a stranger and one of my own students to mentor, who do you think I would prefer?"
The real purpose was revealed, and Jiang Nian guessed what Videl meant, which was to just make empty promises.
"I don't allow anyone to drop out of classes. Of course, I have a good relationship with many of my master's (graduate) advisors at this school and other schools."
When Jiang Nian first heard this, he felt it was a threat, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the threat was not that strong.
If you don't want to be threatened, then you have no choice but to ask for nothing.
Jiang Nian pretended not to understand and answered like most Japanese women: "Monk, that's too far. I just want to get married when I'm 20. That's my dream."
Beard: “…”
Beard did not doubt these words. Most Japanese women think this way when they are young. It was unexpected but reasonable that Jiang Nian also thought this way.
In fact, Beard's selfish wish is that Jiang Nian can stay and study for a master's degree under him. One of the reasons is that there are few female students in science and engineering majors, and his own courses are more difficult, so there are even fewer female students. Now there is only one female student in his master's program, and even only one among the undergraduates, and this girl is about to drop out of the course.
"My class can be retaken. Several people in class today are retaking it. Math requires intelligence but even more so, persistence..."
Jiang Nian was suddenly moved by the word "persistence". Life is a long journey with many dangers and difficulties. How could he have forgotten it until now?
"I'm sorry, teacher. I understand. I will stick to it." After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Beard.
Beard smiled faintly, and had a deeper understanding of Jiang Nian. "Coercion and inducement" were useless, but he could "control" Jiang Nian's thoughts. He was indeed a student!
After the class ended, Naoki Fumino followed Jiang Nian and apologized: "Oqi, I'm sorry, I don't like this class either."
Jiang Nian was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately stopped and asked: "Then why don't you... resist?"
The four words "come with me" that Jiang Nian originally wanted to say were left in his mouth.
"I..." Naoki Fumino originally wanted to say 'I dare not', but felt that saying so would make him seem a bit cowardly, "I have never done that..."
After Jiang Nian calmed down, he realized that he had asked questions that he shouldn't have asked. He was just a classmate, and he had overstepped the boundaries.
"I'm sorry, I have no right to blame you." After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Naoki Fumino, and then left quickly with big strides.
Fumino Naoki took two quick steps but failed to catch up with Jiang Nian. He muttered in a voice only his own, "You're walking so fast."
Jiang Nian originally thought that college life would be easy and enjoyable, but now the first thing he does when he gets home is to eat some bread, then finish the report that the teacher asked him to write, check it, and send it to the teacher's email.
Today, Mr. Beard assigned him the homework of writing a summary report of today's class in French.
Jiang Nian sighed helplessly, and finally finished writing at two o'clock in the morning. After checking it several times, he sent it to Teacher Beard.
When the words "Sent successfully" appeared in front of him, Jiang Nian finally felt relieved.
I casually sent a message to Teacher Beard: "Teacher, I've finished writing. Is there anything I need to correct?"
"Teacher, are you there?"
"Teacher, the homework has been sent to your email. When do you have time to take a look?"
"Teacher, are you there?", "Teacher, do you have time to read it now?", "Teacher, today's work is done today."
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Nian didn't receive any message and began to think about whether to call Teacher Beard.
The indicator light on the computer suddenly flashed, and Jiang Nian turned on the computer and saw the email replied by Teacher Beard.
Apart from some corrections, the last sentence was enlarged and bolded. Jiang Nian felt extremely happy after translating it using software.
"The homework is due in three days. Don't worry. And don't rush me to reply to emails at night. Nighttime is not working time."
Jiang Nian could already imagine Teacher Bidel's expression; he definitely wouldn't be very happy.
…
Beard had just finished sending an email to Jiang Nian. He rubbed his temples with both hands and said pitifully to the person next to him, "Wife, this student is so terrible. He actually rushed me, and in the middle of the night. I feel so pitiful."
Tezuka Tomoko gently rubbed Videl's shoulders, her voice gentle: "Didn't you tell me that today's students are innocent? Do you still think so now?"
Videl gently kissed Tezuka Tomoko's cheek: "Wife, go to bed. Tomorrow is Saturday and I want to sleep until I wake up naturally. You have to do the same as me and not get up early to cook."
Tezuka Tomoko agreed with a smile, and suddenly an idea came to her while she was lying on the bed: "My nephew probably doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I think you, as a student, could meet Guoguang."
There was no sound for a long time. Seeing that Videl had fallen asleep, Tomoko Tezuka stopped talking.
In fact, every homework assigned by a teacher has a deadline of a few days and is not required to be submitted on the same day.
Jiang Nian just wanted to hand in his homework early, free up his weekend time, and then have a good time strolling around Kyoto.
