Chapter 71
Seeing that the number of students in the audience was obviously wrong, Lin Mian frowned slightly.
When the bell rang, Lin Mian was about to start calling the roll when suddenly a boy stood up.
He picked up his bag and rushed to the podium. He said to her with a look of disdain, "I don't want an undergraduate teaching me. You're not qualified."
The students who were admitted to Beicheng University were undoubtedly the best in their respective provinces. They respected knowledge and believed that knowledge could change their destiny. Naturally, they were angry at people like Lin Mian who they felt did not meet the requirements.
Some students choose not to come at all, while others, like this boy, will leave after making harsh remarks.
After that boy left, several other students left one after another.
Leaving the class in front of the teacher is undoubtedly a humiliation to the teacher.
Lin Mian looked at everything in front of him with a cold expression. If it were an ordinary person, he might not attend this class or even want to give up this job.
But Lin Mian couldn't do it. She had long been determined to follow her teacher's ambition, become a teacher like her, and cultivate more talents for the country.
Until she couldn't move anymore.
As long as there is a student in her class, she will keep going.
"There's no rush for roll call. Everyone can come up and say your names after class."
"Thank you for staying. I will prove that your choice is not wrong."
On her way to growing up, Lin Mian experienced too many doubts, but every time she was able to overcome them and make it to the end.
This time is no exception.
So what if she doesn't have so-called excellent qualifications? Her knowledge and experience are enough to support her to stand on the stage and become a teacher to her peers.
Most of the students who chose to stay in the audience just didn't want to offend the teacher and have bad grades, nor did they want to get involved in disputes and fail the course. Instead of fighting for their own dignity, they would rather endure and keep calm. Moreover, Confucian culture is deeply rooted in their bones. Even if they are peers, even if it goes against the rules and regulations, they will choose to respect their teachers.
However, they did not expect that this teacher, whose features were calm but looked sharp and perceptive due to his youth, would unfold for them a grand picture of the physical universe.
The PPT was so concise, but what she had in her mind was enough for her to continue expanding on a small point and let students understand more aspects of physics.
From the vast universe to the tiny microscopic particles; from the irreversibility of time to Riemann space.
Physics, which seems boring to ordinary people, becomes so interesting in Lin Mian's mouth.
Scholars seemed to appear before them one by one. The crystallization of human wisdom was so dazzling, and physics was so interesting.
Li Qingzhu from the Department of Environmental Engineering originally thought that today's class was just another trivial one that she could use to do other things. After all, it was impossible for her to possess extraordinary knowledge compared to her peers who had only graduated for a year.
Maybe after today, she will be able to contribute to the posts on the forum again, but forget it. If she changes to another teacher, the assessment process may be more rigorous.
She was working with her head down, but was attracted by Lin Mian's slow and steady voice and raised her head. Gradually, the heart of this student who had no interest in physics was filled with physics.
Is this how physics works?
It was different from the physics she remembered, which required her to constantly practice questions for three years in high school to get high scores, and even made her feel so bored that she almost vomited. It was physics where the truth was revealed in the ordinary, and it was a love and exploration that could not be erased by accumulation, coincidence, or trial and error. It was physics that was completely different from her impression.
"From conjecture to practice, from learning to creation, this fundamental discipline, which studies the laws of motion and basic structure of matter, is the cornerstone of the world. Studying physics means further understanding the world."
After saying this, Lin Mian turned off the PPT, pulled out the USB drive and was about to leave when applause suddenly broke out from the audience.
She was stunned, a trace of daze flashed in her brown eyes, and she looked quietly at the students in the audience.
Those eyes were filled with a desire for knowledge and anticipation for the next physics class.
It was obvious that she exceeded their expectations and became a teacher they recognized.
To Lin Mian, the gazes and applause of these students were different and special.
With a smile on her lips, Lin Mian understood at this moment why her teacher spoke so gently when talking about students.
Even the hardest-hearted person will soften at this moment.
Lin Mian bent down and bowed in the direction of the students. Amidst the students' helpless cries of "Teacher, please get up quickly", she smiled and said, "Thank you."
Although she said she would continue teaching even if there was only one student in the classroom, she always felt a little frustrated.
But if the only student in the classroom also expressed his agreement with the knowledge she taught, then what she did was meaningful, not to mention that every student in the audience was applauding spontaneously.
But Lin Mian didn't expect that by the next time class started, the classroom was already full of most of the students. Although some people still didn't come, it was much better than last time.
Lin Mian did not write down the names of those students who did not come. She felt that it was her own fault that made the students distrust her, so she would give extra points to the students who came but would not deduct points for the students who did not come.
By the third class, the classroom was already full of people.
Standing on the stage, Lin Mian felt lost for a moment.
She really seemed to live up to her teacher's expectations.
She still remembers her teacher lying in bed beside her, looking at her intently and saying, "Xiao Mian, you're still young, but you've already accomplished so much, and you've endured so much. Would you like to become a teacher and teach more students like I taught you? And would you like to help more people become interested in physics?"
In fact, Lin Mian knew at that time that the teacher felt sorry for her leaving campus too early and also appreciated her choice, so after everything was over, the teacher would persuade everyone to let her hold two jobs, continue her research, and re-enter the university with a different identity.
Lin Mian did not want to let this kindness down, so she was willing to impart all her knowledge to all interested students, just as her teacher did to her.
When Lin Mian was about to leave after class, a girl ran over and grabbed her.
"Teacher, can I communicate with you for a moment?"
"certainly"
They found an empty corner. The girl adjusted her bangs that had been messed up while running, pursed her lips, and looked at her reflection in the brown eyes.
"Hello, Professor. I'm Li Qingzhu, a freshman in the Department of Environmental Engineering. I wasn't interested in physics originally, but your classes have changed my mind. I have a lot of questions I'd like to discuss with you. Could you give me your contact information?"
Li Qingzhu searched the forum but couldn't find Lin Mian's contact information. Although she was very active on the forum, repeatedly responding to those posts that slandered Lin Mian, and posting to speak for Lin Mian, letting more students know that Lin Mian was not what they said, but when she stood in front of Lin Mian, she felt like a mouse seeing a cat, and was very nervous.
"Don't be so polite, calling me yours all the time. We are the same age."
Her voice was so kind, and the note she handed over seemed to still retain the warmth of her palm.
"Then teacher, I'm leaving now. I won't keep you any longer!"
Li Qingzhu took the note and clenched it tightly. The seed named "physics" sprouted in his heart and slowly grew up while shaking.
Lin Mian glanced at the watch on his wrist and sighed softly. It was almost time.
Even though He Xintong is so busy every day, he still prepares lunch for her at noon. Today she has a party with Zhong Yulan and others, and he wants to take charge and invite everyone to his house for dinner so that he can show off his cooking skills to everyone.
Lin Mian also knew that, after all, he didn't want to show off his cooking skills. He Xin and himself had irregular eating habits, so he started going into the kitchen again just for Lin Mian. He was just secretly hinting to Lin Mian to tell everyone about their relationship.
It’s just that this group of people have been friends since childhood. If Lin Mian tells them that he and He Xin are together, he always doesn’t know how to start the conversation, especially with Zhong Yuqi.
She had disliked He Xintong since the first grade of junior high school, and only reluctantly joined him in order to cooperate with her when they formed a band later.
Lin Mian could imagine how furious Zhong Yuqi would be when she heard the news.
But in the end, they decided not to go to He Xintong's house for dinner. Zhong Yuqi booked a private room. This time she was treating everyone, so of course she couldn't let He Xintong do anything.
In fact, it was Zhong Yuqi who suggested that they get together to celebrate this time. They got together once when Lin Mian returned to North City.
However, we will have to wait until we meet to find out what we are celebrating. Zhong Yuqi said she wanted to give everyone a surprise.
Faced with Lin Mian's hesitation, He Xintong took Lin Mian's hand, clasped his fingers together, and revealed a mechanical watch that anyone with a discerning eye could tell was a couple's watch with the one on Lin Mian's hand.
"So what? They'll all know in the end."
He wore a polo shirt today specifically to draw everyone's attention to his wrists.
After just over two months of dating, He Xintong already wished he could have Lin Mian's name written all over his body to tell everyone that they were dating.
There were custom-made rings, necklaces, and even earrings, all of which were engraved with the initials of their names by He Xintong.
Lin Mian was a little surprised when he received the earrings.
She remembered that He Xintong didn't have pierced ears, so she raised her hand and rubbed his ears to make sure they were smooth.
"Why did you buy this? Neither you nor I have pierced ears."
He Xintong said smugly, "You can buy it first. I'll make the preparations first. When you want to get your ears pierced, we can go together."
He hoped that everything would be available in couple's sizes, and he always hoped to have more experiences together with Lin Mian.
Just like now, only each other knows about their relationship. Lin Mian knows that she likes He Xintong, and there is no need to tell everyone about this love. The most important thing is that she knows it herself.
But He Xintong felt insecure. He always felt that more and more people should know, especially those friends and family who had a good relationship with Lin Mian. He wanted everyone to know that they had a close relationship and were a loving couple.
Those rats that are afraid of the light will always be dirty rats in the sewers, unable to turn over.
He Xintong knew that there would always be those guys around Lin Mian who thought they were hiding well and were watching him. He knew quite a few of them in plain sight, not to mention there were also places he couldn't see.
He was always afraid that Lin Mian could be attracted to him and others as well. If those guys used some dirty tricks to divert Lin Mian's gaze away from him, he could still use morality to force those guys away.
But can such people really be suppressed by morality?
He Xintong looked at Lin Mian. After all, he just hoped that he could make Lin Mian happier and enjoy love more, so that even if her attention was attracted by others, it would only be short-lived.
As long as she comes back to him in the end, that's enough.
"Rest for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
Seeing that Lin Mian's lips were not as rosy as before, He Xintong's eyes flashed with heartache.
He patted her shoulder gently, and in the slow and even rhythm, Lin Mian slowly closed her eyes.
He Xintong started the car only after confirming that Lin Mian was asleep.
He drove steadily, wanting her to sleep a little longer.
Lin Mian has been very busy during this period.
