Chapter 25: Chapter 25 She’s Familiar with This Problem!
The homeroom teacher ranted at the two students, spraying saliva, “You two really are the sleeping dragon and young phoenix—you, sleeping in class, and you, eating during class. Do you even see the teacher anymore? Is there any sense of classroom discipline left? What on earth do you think the school and classroom are?”
“What is the sleeping dragon and young phoenix?” Sang Youyou quietly asked Shen Zhaozhao.
Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up—this was a question she knew the answer to!
“The sleeping dragon refers to Zhuge Liang, and the young phoenix is Pang Tong. Both of them were famous figures during the Three Kingdoms Period,” Shen Zhaozhao excitedly whispered back.
“So, is the teacher praising us?” Sang Youyou looked uncertainly in the direction of their homeroom teacher.
But the latter’s expression was grim, as if his head was about to catch fire.
Well, she must have guessed wrong!
Hearing every word of their conversation, the homeroom teacher, looking both angry and exasperated, said, “Enough, I won’t waste words with you. Have your parents come here tomorrow.”
This was a scenario she knew well!
Shen Zhaozhao immediately responded, “We can solve this ourselves, there’s no need to call our parents.”
“How are you going to resolve it?”
Shen Zhaozhao rapidly brainstormed a convincing excuse to persuade the teacher not to call their parents.
“So, you can’t think of anything?” Seeing her hesitate to speak, the homeroom teacher took out his phone and said, “If you really can’t think of a solution, I’ll have to call your parents now.”
In a panic, Shen Zhaozhao blurted out, “I was sleeping because… because I already knew everything being taught today.”
“You knew everything?” The homeroom teacher looked at her with a cold laugh, utterly disbelieving what Shen Zhaozhao had said.
This girl, how many marks did she usually get on tests? And yet she dared to claim she had learned everything.
With that kind of attitude towards studying, it would be a wonder if she did well!
Shen Zhaozhao, gritting her teeth, nodded, “Yes, I’ve learned it all!”
In fact, she didn’t even know what the today’s lesson covered, let alone learned it all.
But the words were already spoken. Whether she knew it or not, she had to act as if she did.
Shen Jiazhaozhao was just that stubborn!!!
“Alright, since you say so and seem to have such confidence in yourself, thinking you don’t need my teaching to excel in mathematics… Here, I have a test here. If you can solve half of the problems on it, you are free to sleep in my classes from then on,” the homeroom teacher said as he pulled out a test paper and handed it to her.
“Are you serious?” Shen Zhaozhao hadn’t expected such a good deal and her eyes lit up immediately.
“Would I lie to you?” the homeroom teacher snorted.
This was an Olympic Mathematics competition paper, significantly harder than the usual class assessments. Someone who hadn’t studied Olympic Math before would definitely struggle to solve it.
This girl usually couldn’t even score eighty on a test, and she didn’t seem like the type to spend time tackling Olympic Math problems. Let alone solving half, she’d be lucky to solve even one.
Let’s see if she ever claims to know it all again.
“Then I’ll give it a try.”
Determined to secure her right to sleep openly in future classes, Shen Zhaozhao decided to give it her all.
From the side, Sang Youyou timidly spoke up, “Teacher, I want to try too. If I can also solve half, can we not have my parents come to school?”
“Sure!” Having spare test papers on hand, the homeroom teacher handed one to her as well.
Sang Youyou got the test paper and was stunned by the first question alone.
My goodness, she recognized every word, but put together, she couldn’t make heads or tails of the question.
She simply had no clue how to do it.
Luckily, she only needed to get half right.
She heaved a tiny sigh of relief and continued looking through the rest.
In the end, after flipping through it from start to finish, not a single question was something she could solve.
Well, this is awkward!
