The next day after waking up, Qin Tian found that the breakfast on the table was quite substantial.
Tang Xiuxia, on the surface, looked no different than usual.
However, Qin Tian now possessed a mature soul.
At a glance, he could tell that his mother's complexion had improved considerably, and she was clearly in a good mood.
Of course, he didn't expose this, merely complimenting his mother on how delicious the breakfast was today.
After eating breakfast together, Qin Tian went out to school for early self-study.
Tang Xiuxia would have some time to rest after clearing the dishes before heading to work at the factory.
"Qin Tian."
As soon as he entered the campus, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
Qin Tian stopped and looked back.
He saw a female teacher who looked quite familiar, hurrying towards him.
As she got closer, Qin Tian remembered.
It was the female teacher who had proctored his exam that day.
She had been quite kind, allowing him to leave the exam hall so early.
"Good morning, student Qin Tian!"
Liu Xuan greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Good morning, um..."
"My surname is Liu, Liu Xuan, the Chinese teacher for Class One."
Liu Xuan introduced herself.
"Yes, hello, Teacher Liu."
Qin Tian quickly and politely greeted her, feeling a slight surprise.
Class One was the key class at Yucheng Fourth High School, so for this female teacher to teach Chinese there, her teaching level must be exceptionally high.
"You were truly astonishing in this mock exam, congratulations."
Liu Xuan congratulated him with a smile.
"Thank you."
Qin Tian smiled modestly and tentatively asked, "Um... is there something you need?"
He recalled what Li Yanwang had said earlier, that the teachers from the two key classes seemed very eager for him to transfer.
Liu Xuan smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing much, I just happened to see you and wanted to chat for a bit."
She was also extremely curious about this student.
In fact, all the teachers in the third year were very curious about this student.
A teenager, yet able to hide his true strength for so many years.
Such composure, coupled with his almost monstrous results in all subjects during this exam, was truly astonishing.
"On the day of the Chinese exam, I told them in the exam office that you could score over 140 in Chinese, and they didn't believe me!"
"Is that so."
"What surprised me was that Chinese turned out to be your weakest subject."
"Uh... not really, it's just that it's difficult to get a perfect score on subjective questions."
"That's true."
They chatted idly, and soon they were nearing the third-year teaching building.
"Teacher Liu, are you trying to persuade me to transfer to your class?"
Qin Tian suddenly asked.
Liu Xuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said,
"If you were to join, I would certainly welcome you and do my utmost to help you improve your subjective question skills, so that you can achieve a perfect score in Chinese if possible."
"However, I know that you deliberately stayed in the regular class while hiding your strength, so you must have your own firm opinions and probably wouldn't want to transfer."
"Besides, I think you might have misunderstood. I'm not the head teacher of Class One, just a subject teacher."
After listening, Qin Tian nodded in realization, "Is that so!"
He had thought that Liu Xuan had come over to talk to him so much because she wanted him to transfer.
Turns out he had been overthinking it.
"With your abilities, we teachers can't teach you much anymore. And Teacher Li's teaching ability is also quite formidable,"
Liu Xuan continued with a light laugh.
"If Old Li hears you say that, Teacher Liu, he'll get boastful again."
Qin Tian pouted.
"Old Li?"
Liu Xuan showed a look of utter astonishment.
"Oh, I'm used to calling him that. All the students in our class call him Li Yanwang."
"Hehe... I have heard about that."
Liu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, her tone filled with admiration. "I can sense that you genuinely admire Teacher Li."
"He is a good teacher."
Qin Tian nodded, then looked at her again and said, "So are you."
Liu Xuan was taken aback, then happily smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you for your recognition, I'm very happy. Keep up the good work! I hope our school can produce a top scorer with a perfect score in the college entrance examination. At that time, all our teachers and students will be proud of you."
"Yes, I will do my best."
"I'm off, I need to check on my class."
Liu Xuan raised her right index finger and pointed towards Class One's classroom on the first floor.
"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Liu."
Qin Tian smiled and bid her farewell before heading upstairs.
As he walked up the stairs, recalling the teachers he had encountered in his past and present lives, he felt a surge of emotion.
Teachers in schools might not always consider the students' best interests.
For example, those two key class head teachers who approached the school leadership, eagerly wanting him to transfer.
They were likely more concerned with their own interests.
However, in everyone's school days, they would always encounter some lovable and respectable teachers.
Old Li was one of them, and Teacher Liu was undoubtedly another.
Often, many years after graduation, once people mature, they truly understand which teachers are worth respecting for a lifetime.
It was precisely for this reason that when Wu Xin had clashed with Old Li in class, Qin Tian had felt indignant and proposed such a bet.
...
Even before entering the classroom, he could already hear the sounds of diligent reading coming from inside.
In some schools, early and evening self-study sessions are divided among various subject teachers.
Yucheng Fourth High School has excellent regulations in this regard; self-study periods are for self-study, allowing students to strengthen their weak areas freely.
However, teachers will occasionally come to patrol, which helps to maintain better discipline in the classroom.
The subjects requiring memorization for science students are Chinese and English, so it's common for Chinese and English teachers to visit during early self-study.
During today's early self-study, there were no teachers in the Class Ten classroom.
Under the management of the class monitor Mu Nan, the discipline for early self-study was quite good.
The preparatory bell had not yet rung, but after arriving in the classroom early, the students had already consciously begun their studies.
Perhaps stimulated by Qin Tian's dramatic comeback in the mock exam, everyone was memorizing with extra vigor today.
The high-achieving students wanted to climb even higher.
As for those ranked lower, they dared not hope to achieve a meteoric rise like Qin Tian, but they also wanted to make some progress in these final two months.
To Qin Tian's surprise, Zhang Peng had arrived even earlier than him and was diligently memorizing English vocabulary.
It was as if the sun had risen from the west.
Qin Tian retracted his gaze with a relieved smile and looked towards his own seat.
Xia Nuannuan, who usually arrived early, was not yet present today.
"There are quite a few unusual things happening today!"
Qin Tian mused to himself as he walked to his seat and sat down.
At the same time, on a road not far from the school, a luxurious and eye-catching black Mercedes was heading towards Yucheng Fourth High School.
Since this road was not very wide, and many parents rode electric scooters or bicycles to school in the morning, driving was a rather unwise choice.
It tested one's driving skills, and sometimes, if it got too congested, it could even be slower than walking.
Just like at this moment.
