After a soft laugh, Shang Yunmiao lowered her head, intending to continue studying. However, she then remembered the chat in the class group chat.
"Chen Bing, are online classes to be taken at home?"
"Silly boy, are you at school if you're not home?"
Realizing she had asked a silly question, Shang Yunmiao hadn't initially intended to react. However, after hearing Chen Bing call her a "little idiot," she felt both annoyed and shy.
The thought of "refuting the other party" immediately came to mind. So, Chen Bing saw Shang Yunmiao blush and argue indignantly, "I wanted to ask if we should all attack together."
"Then you're even more of a fool. If you don't want to be with me, who else do you want to be with?" As she spoke, Chen Bing reached out and pinched Xiao Shang's cheek, but with very little force, and her voice suddenly became gentle.
Why did she suddenly become so gentle? The reason is simple: Chen Bing found Xiao Shang's blushing face incredibly adorable, and the thought of kissing her suddenly crossed her mind. When asking someone for a favor, shouldn't one be more gentle?
"A cute little silly like you was born to be kissed by me." After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Shang's reply, Chen Bing lowered her head and kissed Xiao Shang's lips.
After the initial panic, Shang Yunmiao gradually calmed down. She placed her hands on her lap and focused intently on the work she was doing with Chen Bing.
However, less than a minute into the serious work task, Chen Bing suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the door.
He quickly patted Shang Yunmiao's back, signaling her to stop kissing him. Then, he separated their lips.
While Xiao Shang was still confused, Chen Bing hurriedly shoved a pen into her hand, then pulled her around to face the desk and began to pretend to explain the problem.
A few seconds after all this was done, the door was opened with a click.
"Would you like some fruit, kids?" The person who opened the door was Yunxuan's gentle and beautiful mother. She was holding a fruit plate in one hand and gripping the doorknob with the other.
After the other person finished speaking, Chen Bing, who was studying diligently, belatedly turned around and replied that she wanted to eat.
Compared to his composure, Shang Yunmiao, who hadn't been studying very hard, seemed much more guilty. Her face was slightly flushed, and she stared at the two of them rather unnaturally.
Foolish little merchant, no wonder you can't keep anything from others. Look at your expression right now, it clearly says in big letters—I have a secret, come and ask me.
Helpless, Chen Bing had no choice but to cover for her, chatting non-stop with Yun Xuan to keep her from paying attention to Shang Yunmiao. The two chatted about everything from work and life to hobbies.
Naturally, the conversation turned to online classes.
"Speaking of which, does Aunt Xuan know about online classes?"
"Yeah, I know. They just sent a message in the teachers' group. But I've never done this before, so I don't know how to do it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing nodded. In her previous life, online classes at Baishi No. 1 Middle School were conducted in pairs, with two classes attending at a time. As a senior teacher, Yun Xuan not only taught Class One, but she was also the Chinese language teacher for Class Two.
Based on the school's usual practice and his own experience in his previous life, Class 1 should attend classes with Class 2, but the teachers for some subjects will be different.
But that doesn't really matter, because while classes are still being held, the teacher is still the same one. Grading papers and assigning homework are still the teacher's responsibilities.
On the other hand, online classes require everyone to be knowledgeable, so very few people actually listen attentively. Those as diligent and hardworking as Shang Yunmiao are a minority; most people lack willpower and are extremely playful.
When taking online classes, I mostly use my phone with the screen split up. When there's homework, I just use a question-solving app to take pictures, copy them, and then go back to playing on my phone.
In short, online classes act as a large filter. They have little impact on diligent and hardworking students, but they are a disaster for those who lack self-discipline and are playful—a disaster for their grades.
However, those regrets are for the future.
"If Aunt Xuan has any questions, you can come to me." Chen Bing wasn't exaggerating when he said this, because he really did know more about online classes than anyone else.
What was that quote from Trump again?
No one knows more about online courses than I do.
"Okay, if there's anything Auntie doesn't know how to do, remember to help me."
After smiling and giving Yunxuan an "OK" sign, Chen Bing watched as she left with a smile in return.
Phew, all done.
Turning to look at Xiao Shang beside her, Chen Bing noticed that the child was eating a peach while staring blankly at her, showing no sign of the tension of almost being discovered.
Speaking of which... are there peaches this season? Greenhouse peaches?
No, no, Chen Bing realized that this wasn't the point. He reached out and cupped half of Xiao Shang's cheek, saying slowly and deliberately, "I want to eat peaches too."
...
Soon, the day after the online class notice was sent out, and after all the students were added to the DingTalk learning group, the first online class for all middle school students in Shangping County began.
The online class was hosted by a junior leader from the county education bureau. During the class, he mainly talked about the arrangements for online classes, the importance and precautions for epidemic prevention, and other miscellaneous things. The whole class took about an hour.
At first, out of curiosity about online classes, students across the county listened attentively. But as the classes progressed, they gradually became bored.
Gradually, many people started to daydream and play on their phones, and the drawbacks of online classes began to emerge.
In the afternoon, when the teachers from their own school officially started classes, all sorts of questions came flooding in.
For example, issues such as no sound, low image quality, network lag, inability to log in, and black screen also cause considerable trouble for teaching.
Fortunately, these weren't major problems. Most of them were just accidental button presses or accidentally turning something off.
A simple restart will resolve many of the problems.
However, some problems stem from the students and cannot be resolved.
The problem isn't having the right devices to watch online classes; it's having too many devices.
Students who own two or more electronic devices are really lucky; one is used for online classes, and the other is used for playing games.
The clattering sounds were so satisfying.
