Translator: _Min_ Hyperbolas?
Parabolas?
These are basic math concepts, aren’t they?
Whats there to brag about?
When she blew up the lab, these people probably didn’t even know what 1-2-3 meant.
After all, mastering math is essential for understandingphysics well.
“Seems like Teacher Si has never attended high school, but has been self-taught?” Lin Qingyan maintained her smile, “But these are the difficult parts of high school math. It’s somewhat hard for us to self-study.” [Subtext: Smart students wouldn’t care, but Si Fuqing is no genius.]
[Self-taught? A little too confident, huh?]
[Just a pretty face, a vase.]
By the time Si Fuqing had returned back from abroad, people had already dug up dirt on her.
She’d never gone to high school and had been shoved into the Starry Star Girls as dead weight.
Once the makeup came off, her true face was revealed. Without education, what could she change?
Lin Qingyan chuckled again, “Then I look forward to Teacher Sits answer.”
The camera moved behind Si Fuqing, capturing the paper in her delicate and porcelain-white hand.
[Oh my god, this hand is a work of art!]
[Ah, she’s writing so seriously; she seems to know her stuff.]
[Beautiful handwriting! Has my wife practiced?]
[People are hyping up even this?]
Within a minute, Si Fuqing put down her pen and leaned back, “Done. Give me the bonus points.”
A crew member took a look and was somewhat surprised, “Correct, Teacher Si is impressive. This really was a challenging question that even included derivatives.”
[?? Did she really solve it? Wasn’t she the one who never went to high school?]
[Scripted, like all reality shows.]
[To be honest, the underdog persona does attract fans, but fake is still fake.]
Lu Ningning, the initiator of the group, was also watching the live stream even though she didn’t participate in the challenge.
After she saw the sentence, she frowned and walked out.
“If you want to know whether Teacher Si really knows or is just pretending, why not just ask her?” Lu Ningning smiled and looked into the camera, “I’m not great at math myself. Throw out some questions, and I’ll ask Teacher Si for you.”
After, she winked at Si Fuqing.
The fans immediately got excited.
[Queen Lu, being humble? Graduated from Hera International Music Academy and you say your math isn’t good?]
[Don’t you have to pass the international joint exam to get into Hera? You can’t even make it to the second round of interviews if you’re bad at math.] [True geniuses are humble; incompetent people are arrogant.]
Lu Ningning took a card with a question written on it from her assistant, “Oh, this is from one of Teacher Si’s fans— one of the Mousses, while she’s doing a math problem, how does one calculate the foci of a hyperbola?”
Si Fuqing quickly wrote down a formula on a piece of paper.
After she finished, she spoke leisurely, “My study of hyperbolas is mostly on their optical properties. Light emanating from one focus of a hyperbola, upon reflection by the hyperbola, the extension of the reflected light…”
She paused for effect, “Did you understand?”
[Sorry, I didn’t.]
[Why don’t you explain again…never mind, I still won’t understand.] [Even if she memorized this beforehand, her delivery is excellent.]
“Seems like Teacher Lin didn’t understand, ” Si Fuqing remarked calmly, “If you had, you’d have been able to solve the last two major problems on your high school math exam, and you would have scored more than just 108.”
Lin Qingyan’s face turned green, ‘
[LOL, a direct mockery, utterly deadly.]
[I remember the national exam that year was quite simple; the average math score in my senior class was 128.]
Lin Qingyan took a deep breath, “Teacher Si, you are indeed knowledgeable and talented. I’m truly impressed.”
“Of course you should be,” Si Fuqing replied lazily, “After all, I’m both prettier and smarter than you.”
Lin Qingyan’s face turned even greener.
[Arrogant! I love it!]
[Hit her where it hurts! The Green Tea Bit*h! Smack her face!]
Si Fuqing completed the first challenge, and the entire class received ten thousand extra votes.
The mentors took a temporary break, and the camera shifted towards the trainees.
With the camera gone, Lin Qingyan exhaled a sigh of relief.
She stayed at the back, watching as Lu Ningning wrapped her arm around Si Fuqing’s. Her eyes darkened further.
She had to think of a way to suppress Si Fuqing’s arrogance, or else she would be utterly overshadowed..
