"Teacher Tang is busy today, so I will be teaching this class on behalf of everyone to appreciate British and American films."
Zhou Chu sat in the classroom, staring in disbelief at Gao Qinyi who walked in as the school bell rang.
Gao Qinyi clearly saw him too and nodded to him.
Everyone followed her gaze and looked towards the back left of the classroom.
Zhou Chu was sitting in the window seat to the left rear.
Zhou Chu kept his head down, scanning the area out of the corner of his eye.
He hadn't fully processed what was happening yet.
Although he had anticipated hearing Gao Qinyi's lectures when he first enrolled, this was the first time he had actually watched her teach on stage.
She wore a black fitted suit, and her white shirt could barely contain her surging breasts.
She really has the air of a female teacher.
If he had had a mature and sophisticated female teacher like that when he was young, he would have gotten into Peking University, not just Dalian University.
Although even a university like Dalian University is a prestigious institution.
"I'm here to teach you today, so let's start by outlining the get out of class schedule." Gao Qinyi suppressed her urge to keep looking at Zhou Chu and cleared her throat, saying, "Watch a movie for fifty minutes, prepare your analysis for twenty minutes, and then share your thoughts for the remaining thirty minutes."
"Great!" A cheer erupted from the audience.
No matter how old the students are, they will be happy as long as the teacher shows a movie in class.
The curtains were all drawn shut, and the dim, ambiguous atmosphere reminded him of the tutoring session he had endured over the weekend.
This kind of atmosphere is perfect for couples; he's already seen several couples holding hands under the table.
The movies shown were also classics.
Gone with the Wind
It is indeed a classic because it is so old, from 1939, which is more than 80 years ago.
Zhou Chu hadn't seen the movie, but he had read the original novel of "Gone with the Wind," which tells the story of an American woman during the Civil War.
He wasn't very interested in this kind of subject matter, and he fell asleep after watching for a short while.
He had no idea how long he slept because Gao Qinyi appeared in his dream!
But in his dream, Gao Qinyi was still a high school girl, while he was still in junior high school.
One day after school, he was ambushed by a group of thugs. Gao Qinyi grabbed a table leg and beat the thug leader until he had no chance.
"Chuchu, don't be afraid if you encounter something like this in the future." Gao Qinyi held his hand and stopped on the way home to wipe the dust off his face with her sleeve: "Sister will protect you!"
"Mmm!" Having just witnessed Sister Qin's heroic demeanor, he also reached out to wipe the blood from Gao Qinyi's mouth.
When Zhou Chu's fingertip touched her wound, she couldn't help but grimace, only then realizing that she was also injured.
"Good girl." Gao Qinyi also touched the corner of her mouth, and there was indeed a faint trace of blood: "It's just a small injury, I'm glad you're alright."
...
"Zhou Chu, tell us your thoughts on the movie you just watched."
The voice was very indistinct, as if it was calling him?
Sun Yao, who was sitting behind him, poked his waist hard with his pen, and he realized that he had actually been called out.
He instinctively stood up and reached out to wipe his eyes.
He was startled as soon as his vision cleared.
When did Gao Qinyi appear in front of him?
“Let’s appreciate ‘Gone with the Wind’,” Gao Qinyi repeated.
"Undoubtedly, this is a timeless classic," Zhou Chu casually remarked. "It tells us about the social conditions during the American Civil War from the perspective of the female protagonist."
Gao Qinyi tilted her head slightly, as if encouraging him to continue.
"Also... the English in this movie is very authentic, making it perfect for us English majors to watch repeatedly."
"Alright." Gao Qinyi patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down.
Thankfully, she didn't pursue the matter of him sleeping.
"Write a 1,000-word self-criticism in English and give it to me tomorrow."
He had just finished feeling relieved!
A 1000-word self-criticism in English!
He stared at Gao Qinyi, hoping to gain some sympathy or pity from her eyes, but she turned away directly and didn't even look back.
"It's nothing," Sun Yao said in a low voice with schadenfreude. "It's a punishment from the beautiful teacher! We'd all love that."
"Do you want me to write it for you?" Zhou Chu rolled her eyes at him.
"No need, this kind of good fortune is only for you."
Gao Qinyi seemed to have heard them talking and suddenly turned around.
Sun Yao shrank back and hid completely behind him.
"Zhou Chu, your self-criticism will be increased by another thousand words." Although the words were harsh, Gao Qinyi still maintained her faint smile.
Has this person learned the old teacher's method of punishing students by making them write self-criticisms before even officially becoming a teacher?
Zhou Chu felt a pang of desolation. Based on his understanding of Gao Qinyi, once she had this expression, her decision was absolutely unwavering.
This was his first formal class with her, and he was punished by having to write a two-thousand-word self-criticism in pure English.
I'll definitely be attending her classes more and more often in the future.
However, the effect of punishing students by making them write self-criticisms was immediate; those who were playing on their phones in class clearly put their phones away.
Several people who were sleepy were also woken up by their friends' reminders.
Sun Yao, who caused him to be punished, curled up completely.
"We are English majors, so our focus when appreciating British and American films is not on the films themselves, but on the British and American cultures..."
Gao Qinyi said a lot, but he barely listened to a single word.
He only had this one class today, and he had originally planned to go back and work on his new book.
The sudden English self-criticism instantly disrupted his plans.
Sure enough, Gao Qinyi was unexpectedly strict when it came to serious matters.
Sleeping, playing on your phone, chatting—leave all that to other classes. In Gao Qinyi's class, you can just focus and daydream.
He made up his mind and cleared his head.
I wonder if the strict teacher-turned-female-lead character in the new book will be popular.
But the contrast between her charming personality in private and her strict and cold demeanor on the surface is something many readers will probably enjoy.
They'll be troubled when they actually encounter it.
"Zhou Chu".
As Zhou Chu walked past her, he was called back.
Sun Yao, who was originally going to go back with him, ran away in a flash.
"Teacher." Zhou Chu had a serious expression, giving himself away completely.
Do you know why I made you write a 2,000-word self-criticism in English today?
At this close range, Gao Qinyi's professional attire creates a significantly stronger sensory impact.
"I know." He lowered his head, looking like a child who had made a mistake.
"Good to know. Pay attention in my classes from now on. Let's go." Gao Qinyi lowered her head to pack up her lesson plan and waved.
After everyone had left the classroom.
"call……"
Gao Qinyi slumped into her chair and let out a long sigh.
This was her first formal lesson with students!
The class was only kept afloat by sheer willpower.
The performance was quite good! Especially the part where Zhou Chu was punished, which was the essence of the whole lesson.
