Chapter 52: Caught in the Act


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    The first ss was English. Chu Qing scratched his head. He hated English the most…


    For some reason, perhaps it was because of his talent, or maybe it was because of his patriotism, Chu Qing had never been too fond of English. Even though he had extraordinary memories now, he rarely listened to English sses.


    Moreover, he was still so sleepy that he was dozing off.


    He had stayed upst night and thought that it would not affect him much, but now it seemed that he still had a mortal body. Staying up all night to cultivate would still make him very dispirited.


    Chu Qing stole a nce at the peach wood sword piled up in his bag and couldn’t help but have a headache.


    So sleepy!


    Chu Qing caught up on his sleep after breakfast. Life was simply too carefree for him.


    “Chu Qing. Chu Qing.”


    Suddenly, someone tapped his arm twice. Chu Qing narrowed his eyes and was stunned for a moment. From the sound of it, it seemed to be Song Chaoran. Song Chaoran often woke him up and told him to study hard. His nagging wasparable to his parents. He had already been cklisted in Chu Qing’s heart.


    The ss seems to beughing…


    Chu Qing opened his eye to take a peek, only to see a face in front of him—his math teacher!


    “T-Teacher…”


    Chu Qing was ovee with shock, rendering him unable to articte his thoughts clearly. Deep down, he still harbored an innate fear of his teachers. The best course of action for him seemed to be to distance himself as much as he could, seeking safety in hiding.


    “Hey there! You were sound asleep, not even flinching when I tried to wake you up…”


    The math teacher smiled and poked him in the head.


    The ss burst intoughter again.


    “Alright, Song Chaoran and Chu Qing. Answer the question on the ckboard. Song Chaoran, don’t think that I didn’t see you secretly calling him.”


    The math teacher had a straightforward approach to rewards and punishments. The punishment assigned to Chu Qing was to have himplete the questions himself!


    Chu Qing felt a sensation of his head swelling, and Song Chaoran approached with a flushed face.


    Chu Qing didn’t pay attention to this question’s solution…


    However, as Chu Qing gazed upon the geometry, he couldn’t help but sense a peculiar familiarity. After pondering for a moment, a sudden realization struck him. It dawned on him why it seemed so familiar. Song Chaoran had previously exined a simr question to him.


    In reality, there were numerous topics covered in the third-year curriculum. Consequently, Song Chaoran managed to cover all the necessary material in just two days during his tutoring sessions with Chu Qing.


    Chu Qing began to recall. Those inexplicable lines and symbols began tobine. He started to try to solve the problem.


    In the beginning, Chu Qing was still a little slow, but as he became more proficient, the speed at which he solved the question became much faster. Finally, hepleted the question in one go and wrote almost half of the form and answer on the ckboard. Chu Qing had been absentmindedly doodling in his book, not paying attention at all. No one had any expectations for him toe up with a solution. Could it be that he was just scribbling nonsense on the ckboard?


    On Song Chaoran’s side, he had just solved the first and second questions. As for the third question, it was empty. He couldn’t even figure it out.


    “Teacher, I’m done.”


    “Hmm?”


    The math teacher was still looking at the ckboard on Song Chaoran’s side. asionally, he would give Song Chaoran some hints and help her with the questions. He did not expect Chu Qing to finish them first. Could the ckboard be empty or he had only done the first question?


    But as she examined it more closely, her face disyed astonishment. It was evident that she hadn’t covered this particr question during ss. Furthermore, this question was known to be quite challenging, and only a few individuals could sessfully solve the third question.


    But now, this person who was sleeping in the ss had done it!


    “They all seem to be right…”


    The math teacher was confused as the students erupted in a loudmotion.


    “I don’t have a clue about this question at all. I didn’t expect Chu Qing to really solve it…” “Oh wow, so this is what a genius looks like? He sleeps through ss every single day…” Even those who excelled in their studies were taken aback. Even Song Chaoran, who was considered highly capable, couldn’t solve it. They never anticipated that Chu Qing would effortlessly tackle it all at once. It was hard for them to believe.


    The most disheartening aspect was that they put in so much more effort than others, yet they couldn’t achieve the same level of proficiency.


    “They are all correct!”


    The math teacher hid his surprise and nodded in acknowledgment to Chu Qing. Witnessing the situation, Song Chaoran was equally amazed and decided to give up attempting the question. She genuinely had no idea how to answer the third question. “You two can go back to your seats. Oh, Chu Qing, wait a moment. Come and exin to the students.”


    Chu Qing nodded and scratched his head awkwardly.


    “Well… Song Chaoran has more steps to solve the problem. Let’s see Chu Qing’s answer…”


    For once, the math teacher was rxed. He sat in Chu Qing’s seat and waited for his answer.


    Chu Qing took a deep breath and began to exin..
