No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 206 Luo Xiaobei's Carelessness

The next day, chemistry class.

Nobody understands why the chemistry teacher's glasses are always half-perched on the bridge of his nose, never able to be lifted up.

As he strolled in, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of phlegm, causing the girls to exchange knowing glances and smirks in disapproval.

"Take all your chemistry books away; this lesson is a dictation test."

"what--?"

A wailing erupted in the classroom.

Compared to English and Chinese dictation, chemistry-style dictation is the most troublesome.

……

Many people frantically flipped through their books, trying to memorize as many as they could.

As for someone like Xu Hui, who was just giving up, he simply gave up with a cold smile, determined to die with elegance and dignity.

"Ferrous sulfate...aluminum hydroxide..."

Some, like Gu Youli, furrowed their brows slightly and quickly recalled their usual mistakes.

He was thinking while biting the pen.

Then he suddenly paused, realizing that the pen had been bitten by Guan Ren.

"..."

Gu Youli stopped and stared at the pen for a while.

The image that flashed through her mind was the self-talk she heard Luo Xiaobei behind her when the PE class ended yesterday.

Click…

So she pursed her lips and chose to continue biting.

Only heaven knows how much Xiaolihua's mind wandered while she was whispering with Guanren last night, and how many times she tossed and turned in bed afterwards.

----------

"Ferrous hydroxide is oxidized to ferric hydroxide..."

The chemistry teacher began reading.

"Have you finished writing?"

Scattered responses from the audience:

"It's finished writing..."

"Next, bubble carbon dioxide into the sodium silicate solution..."

The chemistry teacher paced back and forth in the corridor, yawned, and then looked puzzled at the side of the podium next to Guan Ren.

I initially thought Guan Ren had cheated on something.

The dictation was a last-minute decision, and Guan Ren couldn't read minds, so how could he possibly have cheated?

He leaned closer to take a look and found it was rows of tiny "正" (zhèng) characters carved on it. Feeling bored, he turned around and asked loudly:
"Have you finished writing?"

"It's finished writing—"

Some answered in unison, while others objected hastily:

"no!"

The chemistry teacher will wait a little longer.

Those who are in a worse situation not only haven't written this, but haven't even written one of the previous ones yet, leaving them sweating profusely from trying to catch up on everything.

"Brother Chao, how do you balance copper, concentrated nitric acid, and dilute nitric acid?"

"38324, 14122."

"Huh? I don't understand..."

"Damn it! Then why are you even reading books?"

……

The dictation ended 15 minutes later.

The dictation sheets were passed around to the front, and this was the last straw for some people, so they tried to copy as much as they could in the last bit of time.

Meanwhile, the chemistry teacher stood on the platform, meditating, and began grading papers on the spot with a red pen.

"Review on your own. Quickly fill in the gaps in your knowledge if you didn't get them right. If you think you got everything right, take out your monthly exam paper and look at it. You're not allowed to do homework for other subjects."

That's what they say, but it's only the beginning of the month, and everyone has just finished exams. Not everyone has the motivation to review and fill in the gaps in their knowledge.

Therefore, many people below were fidgeting and daydreaming, and were not studying.

For example, Luo Xiaobei was secretly explaining the winning strategy of Tic-Tac-Toe to Du Zihan, which made Du Zihan exclaim that she had discovered a new world:
"6 Ah!"

Luo Xiaobei blinked:

"What 6?"

"Huh? Xiao Bei, you play that game called League of Legends, don't you know what 6 means?"

"I don't know." Luo Xiaobei's liking for any game doesn't actually depend on the game itself, but rather on how long he played it with Guan Ren.

Compared to other games in the past, LOL is still a very young game for Luo Xiaobei. Luo Xiaobei's attention to it is not high enough, limited to playing with Guan Ren and learning skills from the "beautiful girl teacher".

As for the number '6' that Du Zihan mentioned, she, like many others, doesn't know what it means.

Now it was Du Zihan's turn, who doesn't play games, to explain it to her:
"Actually, it's just a Northern colloquial expression used to describe someone who's good at something, like 'plays smoothly'. In games, Northern players often use this phrase to compliment others, and 'smooth' was simplified to '6,' just like '886' means 'bye-bye,' it's a homophone."

"I see."

Luo Xiaobei pretended to suddenly understand, but she didn't really care. Her attention was actually drawn to Guan Ren next to the podium.

He and Wang Lei next door were throwing eraser pellets at each other in a fight.

"There's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time."

"How far have things progressed between you and Guan Ren?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Luo Xiaobei choked on her breath, patting her chest for a while before recovering. Her face flushed red and then turned pale as she whispered angrily:
"Du Zihan, what do you mean? What nonsense are you spouting?"

"No, I just heard that so-and-so from the next class kissed that heartthrob from Class 10!"

……

These days, kissing is a rather stimulating "taboo" for most high school students. They dare not think about anything deeper, and generally don't even think about it.

The students are still very innocent.

At least that's the case at Jiangzhou No. 2 Middle School, which has a relatively clean school atmosphere.

……

"Du Zihan, are you alright?"

Luo Xiaobei touched Du Zihan's forehead. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't as smooth and delicate as her own skin; it was clearly not as good.

"What does it matter to me whether other people kiss or not? What does it have to do with me and Guan Ren?"

"what?"

Du Zihan was shocked. After looking around, she lowered her voice:
"Xiao Bei, you and Guan Ren...aren't you this one?"

She made a gesture, bending her two thumbs together to indicate "being in a relationship":
"Aren't you and Guan Ren boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"???"

Now it was Luo Xiaobei's turn to be shocked:
"Who told you that?"

"Everyone in the class knows."

"??????"

"No, not all of them, anyway, the girls all know about you and... Oh my god, aren't you two..."

"..."

And so, at this sudden and rather unusual juncture, Luo Xiaobei and her best friend looked at each other in silence, finally realizing that many people in their class viewed her and Guan Ren as a couple.

"Feel sorry!"

Du Zihan clasped her hands together:
"I will clarify this if anyone mentions it again!"

"oops…"

Luo Xiaobei waved his hand:

"Forget it, let's stop trying to explain... I'm afraid the more we explain, the more confused things will become. Explanations are just cover-ups, let others say what they want."

At this moment, the chemistry teacher on the podium spoke:
"Those whose names I've read, go to the corridor for a re-dictation... Guan Ren, Chen Yaozu..."

……

Soon, a row of people stood by the wall outside the corridor, placing paper on it in preparation for the dictation to begin again.

"By the way, what are you doing here...?"

Guan Ren glanced at Luo Xiaobei beside him.

Luo Xiaobei pouted:
"You're here too."

"Oh dear, I was careless."

"I was careless."

……

Guan Ren's situation is unclear.

But Luo Xiaobei was indeed careless.

After the monthly exam, Luo Xiaobei noticed that Guan Ren had made quite a few mistakes in balancing chemical formulas while reviewing his chemistry exam paper, and observed that he hadn't reviewed it yet.

So almost instinctively, she judged Guan Ren's level in this dictation test, and then instinctively and inadvertently controlled her own level.

I completely forgot that it was just a dictation exercise; there was no need to align my granularity with this guy.

But there was nothing she could do; she was already there, so Luo Xiaobei had no choice but to accept her fate.

Anyway, it's been a long time since I've been punished alongside him like this, it's pretty good~
