Chapter 16 People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Looking at Old Gong's back as he paced towards the podium, Qiao Yu suddenly felt a little emotional. The teacher was really too easy to satisfy. He could smile like a child just by solving a problem.

He didn't take the exam seriously, didn't do the exercises seriously, he just wanted to stay in Class 13 to finish the compulsory education. He was just being pragmatic, not hiding his shortcomings, playing the pig to eat the tiger or any other inexplicable childish idea.

Especially being able to not have to attend evening self-study classes is very important for a junior high school student who needs to squeeze in time to earn a living.

He withdrew his gaze from the teacher and suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that his desk mate was staring at him as if he were an alien.

Not only my deskmate, but also the two silly kids in front of me kept turning their heads and looking sideways...

"What are you looking at?"

"Fuck! Qiao Yu, you can actually do it?"

“Is there a possibility that this question is really simple?”

Zhou Shuang picked up his own paper, turned to the last question on the back, looked at it carefully, especially the complicated graph, and then swallowed his saliva: "You call this simple?"

"Isn't it simple?" Qiao Yu tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Shuang.

The child was silent for a long time before he said with a sad face: "Guess why I am in Class 13?"

Qiao Yu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so he picked up the chemistry book again and said to comfort him casually: "It's okay, the Lanxiang excavator major does not look at math scores."

"No, then why are you in Class 13?" Zhou Shuang curled his lips and asked in a low voice without giving up.

Qiao Yu actually didn't want to waste time talking to these guys who had absolutely no plans for the future, but thinking that this guy seemed to have asked him to go online twice in the past year, he decided to give this guy some advice.

So I said very sincerely: "If you want to live a decent life, you don't have to show your skills or abilities, but you must have them. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Qiao Yu glanced at Zhou Shuang's confused eyes, sighed in his heart, and continued: "To put it simply, you can pretend to be stupid, but you can't be really stupid. So, when you are watching short videos, you can go and watch the videos posted by a blogger named Shi Xiaowei."

"Mathematics teacher?"

"You'll know when you see it."

Zhou Shuang first looked up at the podium. Very good, the math teacher had returned to his usual pace, and he didn't know what he was correcting on the podium. So he quickly took out a mobile phone from the desk drawer, and then skillfully took out a Bluetooth headset from his pocket and put it on.

Alas, it is indeed against the school rules to enter Class 13.

Seeing this scene and thinking of his confiscated cell phone, Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he chooses another path in life, he has to temporarily give up some things, such as the happiness in front of him.

"Are you talking about Shi Xiaowei?"

"Ah."

Ten minutes later, Zhou Shuang's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Fuck, why didn't the English teacher ever tell me that learning English well can be used to pick up foreign girls?"

Qiao Yu curled his lips, feeling that he might have saved a fallen soul.

……

The following day, Qiao Yu felt that he had become a rare animal in the zoo. The visitors were teachers of various subjects, and the students next to him could probably be considered half of them.

First, an English teacher.

"Mr. Yuan said you plan to work hard in the last month and get into high school?"

(Teacher Yuan said that you plan to work hard in the last month and get into high school?)
“Yeah, pretty much.”

(About the same)
"Do you think there's a good chance?"

(Do you think there is hope?)
"If this year's high school entrance exam is as easy as in previous years, I think it shouldn't be a problem."

(If this year's high school entrance exam questions are as simple as in previous years, I don't think it will be a big problem.)
"Wow, your English listening, speaking, and expression skills are really good! How come you've never mentioned it before? It didn't show in your English essays either."

(Wow, your English listening and speaking skills are very good? Your vocabulary is also very large, why haven’t I heard you talk about it before? And your English composition doesn’t reflect it either?)
"Maybe life isn't a sitcom, right?"

(Maybe because life is not a TV show?)

The English teacher left with a look of surprise on his face, and then the physics teacher came over. "Qiao Yu, take a look at these questions..."

ten minutes later.

"Very good, Qiao Yu. You have mastered the main test points of light basis, force basis and magnetism basis very well! Keep it up!"

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Then came the chemistry teacher, the history teacher...

The way the teachers looked at Qiao Yu was probably like finding a hidden tiger among a flock of sheep. To the other students in Class 13, this scene was like a strange creature appearing among them.

Prometheus of Class 13, the most familiar stranger.

So during the break, Qiao Yu's desk became lively, his classmates began to transform into various curious babies, and all kinds of gossip began to spread to other classes.

"Have you heard? There's a guy named Qiao Yu in Class 13, and his English is amazing. The English teacher said his pronunciation is more standard than the foreign teacher who taught the Rocket Class oral English."

"No way? The foreign teacher speaks their native language."

“That’s why it’s awesome!”

……

"The teacher said that Qiao Yu from our class has the potential to go to Huaqing University!"

"Do you want to hear what you are talking about? Is there anyone in your class who can go to Huaqing?"

"Heh, you don't know how to play the pig and eat the tiger? How difficult is it to go all the way from the rocket class to high school? People just take the most difficult path. That's what it says in novels!"

"You are also talking about Qiao Yu? I heard that's not the case at all. He came to Class 13 because he broke up with his boyfriend in the second year of junior high school, so he gave up on himself."

"Ah? Broken heart? Tell me in detail, with whom?"

"Does Xia Keke from Class 1 know? Someone saw the two of them going to school together this morning."

"So they're back together?"

"if not?"

……

However, after just half a day, Qiao Yu felt overwhelmed.

It turns out that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. The ancients were not deceiving us today.

The life he had before, where he was not noticed by his classmates, was more suitable for him. Fortunately, the matter between him and Xia Keke had not yet reached his ears, otherwise he would have been completely torn apart. Are you kidding? He gave up on himself because of the breakup of a little girl?

Novels dare not write like this!

On the other side, in the high school office, Lan Jie, who had just finished his work, also thought of Qiao Yu. He suddenly felt a little uneasy and didn't know whether Qiao Yu would come this afternoon.

People are like this, they can't be idle, because when they are idle, they will think about all kinds of messy things.

In the end, Langjie couldn't help it and called Yuan Yuan before the second class in the afternoon.

"Teacher Yuan..."

"Hello, Teacher Lan. Hello. I was just wondering whether I should give you a call, but I was afraid that I might disturb you since you were in class."

The overly enthusiastic greetings from the other side made Ranger a little confused.

It seemed that Teacher Yuan was not so enthusiastic yesterday. He felt something was not right when he heard him address him with such respectful titles.

"Oh, about Qiao Yu?"

"Yes, yes. To be honest, I talked to Qiao Yu today. You may not know that Qiao Yu actually has a good foundation in all subjects. Even if his scores in biology and geography are not ideal, it won't be a problem for him to pass the general high school entrance examination."

"Ok?"
