Even a Pig Is Enough to Chase After!

"Huo, you're actually starting to memorize essays? Wang Ge's kid really has some skills."

Looking through the window at Gu Panyan diligently memorizing words and phrases, the English teacher, a woman in her thirties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sighed with emotion.

"He's always been excellent."

Beside her, Jiang Xiyu, Wang Ge's homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, said with a hint of pride.

"To be honest, when he came to my office this morning and told me about this plan, I didn't think it would do any good," the English teacher said, shaking her head with a smile. "After all, I've punished Gu Panyan before, and I've scolded her too, but it didn't help. She still does her own thing, completely unresponsive. Heh, I didn't expect... you've raised a good student, Teacher Jiang."

"It's Wang Ge's own excellence, it has nothing to do with me," Jiang Xiyu said modestly.

"Ah, behind every good student, there's always a good teacher, just like behind a thousand-mile horse, there's always a Bole," the English teacher said with a chuckle.

"Teacher Zhou, please don't praise me too much. Isn't Chen Yanxi in your class also very capable? She's been the top student in the grade for three consecutive years, leaving my class's Wang Ge in second place."

"Sigh, Chen Yanxi is indeed capable, but that girl is completely out of touch with the mortal world. She doesn't interact with others, let alone tutor others in Learning Skill. Wang Ge is better. The average grade in your class is higher than mine, and Wang Ge must have contributed a lot to that..."

The English teacher was a seasoned educator and had considerable experience in the art of mutual flattery.

"That's true. Wang Ge has a great personality and high emotional intelligence. This child's future is definitely limitless."

Jiang Xiyu first praised Wang Ge, then added comfortingly, "Chen Yanxi is already doing great just by being so excellent in Learning Skill. We can't ask too much of girls who are seventeen or eighteen."

English teacher:?

She didn't say that when she was praising your Wang Ge!

And shouldn't you be finding somewhere else to praise my Chen Yanxi right now? Why aren't you praising her anymore?

No way, no way, you don't actually think my Chen Yanxi is inferior to your Wang Ge, do you?

Bullshit! I must vindicate my Chen Yanxi!

The English teacher cleared her throat and said, "That's true. Without exaggeration, in terms of Learning Skill, Chen Yanxi has almost surpassed all high school students at this stage. She is a true genius."

You're not going to praise her, huh? If you won't, I'll praise her myself!

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Jiang Xiyu, as a newly hired teacher, didn't have much experience with mutual flattery and was a bit surprised by the English teacher's words at this moment.

"If you truly taught her, you would find my words too conservative."

The English teacher sighed. "In front of her, I, as her homeroom teacher, can only rely on the advantage of being born earlier to have some sense of superiority in terms of experience. In other aspects, whether it's cognition, knowledge, or many other areas, she is much stronger than me.

Teacher Jiang, I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone else."

Seeing the English teacher lower her voice and act mysteriously, Jiang Xiyu's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What secret?"

"Actually, when I first took over this class, Chen Yanxi often skipped evening self-study. I thought, as a new official, I should make an example of this top student to establish my authority, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

So, I found an opportunity and called her into the office in front of the whole class.

I asked her why she skipped evening self-study, and she actually said that evening self-study was useless to her...

At that moment, I thought this little girl was too arrogant and needed to be taught a lesson."

"And then?" Jiang Xiyu asked curiously.

"And then..." The English teacher's expression began to turn strange. "She finished the math and science comprehensive papers for that year's college entrance examination with full marks in less than an hour in front of me."

"Ah?"

"I didn't believe it and kept giving her more problems to solve, even including Olympiad math problems. The result was still not a single mistake," the English teacher said self-deprecatingly. "To put it in novel terms, I really kicked a steel plate."

"This..." Jiang Xiyu was also speechless with shock.

"Later, I found out that as early as junior high school, she had already self-studied all the high school courses, and even dabbled in a lot of university knowledge," the English teacher said with a wry smile. "I dare bet that even if she were sent to a university like Tsinghua or Peking University now, she would definitely be among the best."

Jiang Xiyu was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Shouldn't a genius like this have skipped grades and been sent to a gifted program at a prestigious university? Why is she at our school?"

The English teacher thought for a moment and guessed:

"Probably because she didn't want to go.

Before she left that day, she specifically asked me not to tell anyone about this, especially not her parents... Hmm, a few days ago, I wanted to help her apply for early admission, but she refused... She probably wants to hide her abilities and experience these three years of high school completely..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's mouth twitched.

She originally thought that Chen Yanxi's ability to outperform Wang Ge for three years was already the limit, but she didn't expect this to be the result of her hiding her abilities?

What if she wasn't hiding them? Would she have been admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China's gifted program at the age of twelve?

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's shocked expression, the English teacher smiled, partly smug and partly relieved.

Before, Chen Yanxi had asked him not to tell anyone, and he had to keep it to himself, feeling like a cat scratching at his heart. Now that he had finally shared this matter and saw the shocked look on someone else's face, he felt incredibly good!

I can't be the only one shocked!

"Cough, Teacher Jiang, please don't tell anyone else. I promised Chen Yanxi I wouldn't gossip," the English teacher reminded her.

"Don't worry, I won't spread it around."

Jiang Xiyu replied casually, but her mind drifted to another matter.

Chen Yanxi doesn't attend evening self-study, and Wang Ge doesn't either... Is it a coincidence? Or is it...

Jiang Xiyu casually asked, "Hey, Teacher Zhou, since Chen Yanxi doesn't attend evening self-study, what does she do at night?"

"I remember it was to the library to read..." English teacher Zhou Chang said uncertainly.

"The library..." Jiang Xiyu understood. Wang Ge had told her he was going to the library too!

That kid, I thought you were going to read, but I didn't expect you to be going to pick up girls!

Only these two weren't attending evening self-study, which meant these two were alone together in the library every night.

Given this much time, Wang Ge, even if he were a pig, would have had enough time to win Chen Yanxi over!

Thinking this, Jiang Xiyu looked at the English teacher, whose face still held a trace of pride and smugness, and her gaze held a hint of pity.

You wouldn't have expected this, would you? You thought your student won, but in reality, the prize cabbage from your class has already been snatched by the pig from my class.
