Chapter 31: Slapping the Face of the Entire Elite Class

“…”

These words silenced the classroom again.

The students couldn’t help but look at the corner again. When they saw this, they all swallowed their retorts.

As the girl sat there quietly, the sunlight dyed her eyes and brows a pale gold.

She had no makeup on, but she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Was this kind of appearance really something a human could possess?

Saying that she had a divine appearance would be an understatement.

Ying Feifei said furiously, “Do you dare to say that in front of Xiao Xuan?”

The students looked at each other in dismay and didn’t say anything else. They started their morning reading session.

There was only a five-minute break between the morning reading session and the first period. Some students went to fetch water, while others went to the washroom.

As Ying Zijin propped her elbows in boredom, her thoughts drifted back to her time in Country Y.

In that era, people still spoke Middle English. Modern English had been simplified a lot, so it was quite easy to learn.

When the five minutes were up, the bell rang. The first class was English.

The English teacher was a woman in her early forties. Her surname was Deng.

Right as the bell rang, she walked in on time with a stack of papers in her hand. “Everyone knows the results of the final exam, right? I’ll distribute the papers to you guys now.”

“This questions were very difficult, but everyone did well.”

The students heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, Qingzhi’s elite class’ test papers were so difficult that all the netizens offered their condolences.

However, English was sometimes even more difficult than IELTS.

“Zhong Zhiwan, 123 points, first place in the class.” Miss Deng read out the results as she distributed them. “…Lu Fang, 94 points, Ying Feifei…”

When she was left with the last paper, she didn’t read out the score.

Miss Deng adjusted her glasses and said in a kind voice, “Ying Zijin, come and get your paper.”

Ying Zijin nodded and walked forward.

Lu Fang was displeased. “Miss Deng, you’ve already read all our scores. Why don’t you read hers?”

With Ying Zijin’s English level, she was considered to have performed exceptionally well if she was able to score 30 points.

Miss Deng smiled good-naturedly and said, “If Miss Ying agrees, I can read it.”

Lu Fang immediately looked at the girl and said arrogantly, “Ying Zijin, do you mind letting everyone know your score?”

Ying Zijin took the paper from Miss Deng and walked down the podium.

She completely ignored Lu Fang and didn’t even look at him.

Lu Fang was enraged.

Ying Feifei gloated. “Zhiwan, I saw it. She only scored 25 points. How embarrassing. No wonder she doesn’t want her score to be found out.”

Zhong Zhiyan didn’t respond. She was deep in thought and no one knew what she was thinking.

“Alright, let’s start talking about the questions now.” Miss Deng picked up the chalk as she said, “In a while, I’ll call on students to answer the questions. If you guys can’t answer…”

The audience immediately wailed.

Even Zhong Zhiwan only scored 123 points. It could be seen how difficult the questions were.

After Ying Zijin glanced at her paper, she fell deep in thought.

Hmm, it seemed that before she woke up, she was really a bad student.

Miss Deng’s lectures weren’t too fast and she would also take care of students with weak English skills, but she couldn’t tolerate anyone being distracted in class.

A piece of chalk was thrown over. “Lu Fang, explain the 64th Reading Comprehension question.”

When Lu Fang looked at the question, he realized that he had got it wrong.

Moreover, he couldn’t understand a single word of the question choice. At a loss for what to do, he was sweating profusely.

When Ying Feifei saw this, she said loudly, “Miss Deng, this question must be very difficult since even Zhiwan didn’t solve it, but I saw that Ying Zijin wrote it correctly just now. We should let her do it.”

Zhong Zhiduan also raised her hand and said with a smile, “Miss Deng, I also want to know how Miss Ying answered this question. Can Miss Ying explain it to everyone?”

As soon as Zhong Zhiwan spoke, many people in the class agreed.

“Yes, Miss Deng.”

“We’re all curious.”

This question was so difficult that no one in the class knew how to answer it.

Miss Deng frowned and was about to say something when the girl slowly stood up in the corner.

She held the paper in one hand and glanced at it before speaking.

Lu Fang and Ying Feifei, who were about to mock her, heard her speak in fluent English.

Zhong Zhiwan turned her head around abruptly.

Ying Zijin finished explaining the question in thirty seconds. “In summary, I chose D for the 64th question.”

Miss Deng was very surprised and said, “That’s a good answer. That’s it. Please take a seat.”

Ying Zijin sat down and started fiddling with her pen.

She gave off a condescending and haughty vibe.

The entire class was speechless.

Ying Feifei was in disbelief. “Zhiwan, she really knows how to answer it?”

Wasn’t it just a lucky guess?

The smile on Zhong Zhiwan’s lips froze. “Who knows?”

At this moment, Miss Deng asked again, “Zhong Zhiwan, do you understand?”

Zhong Zhiwan’s face flushed. Then, she lowered her head and said, “I understand.”

“Sigh, you guys really disappoint me.” Miss Deng lamented, “You guys have been learning from me for so long, but you’re still inferior to Ying Zijin, who came halfway. When you guys get back, study hard.”

The entire class was silent. No one dared to speak again.

The lesson ended very quickly. After class, Miss Deng told Ying Zijin to stay.

“Did you practice speaking during the winter break?”

Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows. “Mm.”

“Not bad. It’s a good start. Your foundation is a little weak, so you can’t do questions that are too difficult,” Miss Deng said. “I’ll give you some basic questions. Do you have time to go to my office to get them at noon?”

Ying Zijin didn’t reject her good intentions, even though she didn’t need it. “Yes.”

“Work hard.” Before leaving, Miss Deng patted her shoulder. “Don’t take other people’s words to heart.”

**

At noon, everyone in the classroom went out for lunch.

After Ying Zijin took a bite of the tomato, she looked down at the WeChat message.

She had very few contacts on WeChat. The only people who would send her messages were Fu Yunshen and Wen Tinglan.

As for the former, he had recently started to treat her like his child. For example, these were the messages she received from him today.

[Yaoyao, did you have lunch?]

[No, I ate tomatoes.]

She was quite picky.

Ten seconds later, Fu Yunshen sent a voice message.

His voice had always been pleasant. It was low and deep, like a melody.

[Little kid, how long have we been apart? You’re already being disobedient again. You have to eat well.]

[Oh.]

[Alright, looks like I have to keep an eye on you. See you tonight. I’ll see if you’ve lost weight.]

Ying Zijin stared at these words, rubbed her head, and put her phone back into her pocket.

After finishing the last bite of the tomato, she got up and went to the office of the English team.

After knocking on the door, she walked in.

Other than Miss Deng, there was only one young man in the office.

After the door was closed, Miss Deng turned to him and said, “Mr. He, this child gave me a big surprise today. Her pronunciation is very nice.”

It wasn’t an ordinary British accent, but Queen’s English—a royal English accent.

It was quite unbelievable.

When He Xun heard this, he asked indifferently, “So what?”

He had helped Mr. Deng teach the elite class a few times, so he naturally knew what Ying Zijin was like.

She was a slacker.

He hated this kind of student the most.
