Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

After leaving the park, Lu Qian and Lin Shuyue returned to school bathed in warm yellow light.

Strangely enough, after sparring with Grandpa Zhang in the park, Lu Qian felt much more energetic.

"Could this be the hidden benefit of interacting with the elderly?" Lu Qian wondered to himself.

I settled into my seat, pulled out a thick notebook of math mistakes, and started working on problems.

After a while, the bell rang to signal the start of evening self-study.

The classroom fell silent instantly, with only the sound of turning pages and the scratching of pens on paper.

Da da da.

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground grew louder as Chen Shishi, an English teacher dressed in a business suit, walked into the classroom carrying a stack of documents.

"Students, take out the practice sheets that were handed out last week."

Teacher Chen scanned the classroom: "Because our progress is much slower than other classes, we will go over the monthly exam paper tomorrow. Today, we will focus on reviewing this practice paper, especially the cloze test and reading comprehension questions, which are quite representative."

"it is good."

Immediately, the sound of exam papers being flipped through echoed from below the podium.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat.

He miscalculated; he thought the teacher would go over the monthly exam paper tonight, but the English teacher didn't expect to do things the way they always do.

Last week's practice paper?

He was reborn just three days ago!

He frantically rummaged through the underside of the table.

Finally, I pulled out that... blank exam paper.

It was clean and tidy, without even a name written on it.

Yes, that fits my previous persona perfectly.

After thinking for a moment, he gently nudged Lin Shuyue's back with his elbow and whispered, "Lin, the school beauty, I haven't finished my exam... could you please help me out?"

"?"

Just as Lin Shuyue unfolded her test paper, she sensed movement behind her.

Just as she was about to turn to the side and move the test paper a little, Teacher Chen on the podium spoke again.

"Before we start discussing the questions, let's invite a student to come up and talk about the first reading comprehension question on this test paper."

"..."

Lu Qian, who was frantically copying multiple-choice questions, suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be...?

At this moment, Teacher Chen's eyes darted around the classroom, seemingly selecting a suitable candidate.

Sure enough, her gaze paused slightly when it swept over Lu Qian.

The next moment, a smile of approval appeared on his face: "Oh, by the way, in this monthly exam, Lu Qian from our class made remarkable progress in English, scoring 138 points, which is the biggest improvement in our class and even the grade."

"Then let's invite Lu Qian to come up and share your problem-solving approach with everyone, starting with the first reading passage, and see how you understood it."

"???"

What you fear most is what happens; Murphy's Law is absolutely true.

Teacher Chen, are you sure this is a reward?

This is practically a public execution!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, Lu Qian could only grit his teeth and slowly stand up, walking heavily towards the podium.

As he passed by Lin Shuyue, he caught a glimpse of a helpless expression in her eyes.

There's nothing else I can do.

As Lu Qian stepped onto the podium and received the test paper from Teacher Chen, he felt his palms sweating.

"Alright, I'll just give a brief overview then."

I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and quickly glanced at the title and the first few paragraphs of the article.

My brain started working at lightning speed.

With his solid English skills and logical analysis ability, he began to speak haltingly about the article and the topic.

"Based on the key word 'however' in the first sentence of the third paragraph and the subsequent shift in tone, we can infer that the author actually has reservations about this new technology and is not entirely optimistic..."

Therefore, option C, "skeptical," is the correct answer to question two...

Lu Qian's voice was a little tense at first, but he gradually got into the zone, and his analysis became clear and logical. He even pointed out several easily confused trap options.

Teaching students is not a difficult task for him.

After all, he was a screenwriter in his previous life, and he often had to go to the set to provide guidance when filming the movies he wrote, so he didn't have any social anxiety or communication difficulties.

In short, it was explained very smoothly.

Chen Shishi stood to the side, nodding frequently to him, clearly quite satisfied with his comprehension and analytical thinking.

They even felt that he didn't seem like a student giving a substitute lesson for the first time, but rather a teacher who had been working in the teaching profession for many years.

The students below listened quite attentively, and Lin Shuyue even tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes intently following the figure on the podium.

"That's strange, why does Lu Qian's English sound different from the English lessons I usually hear?"

For the first time, she found listening to English reading analysis to be so interesting.

The knowledge points that I used to find boring seemed to become much more vivid when they came out of Lu Qian's mouth.

It's definitely not because the person standing on the stage is Lu Qian!

On the other side, Su Yuwei sat by the window, watching Lu Qian speaking eloquently on the podium, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

He was indeed different from before; more confident, more dazzling... and further away from her.

She subconsciously bit her lip, regretting her past judgment.

He could only bury his head even lower, his fingers unconsciously twisting a corner of the paper, a nameless dissatisfaction welling up inside him.

On the podium, Lu Qian's lecture was getting better and better. Seeing that he was about to finish analyzing the reading passage, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, Chen Shishi, who was standing next to him listening to his explanation, inadvertently glanced at his practice paper...

"?"

His brows furrowed instantly.

"Lu Qian, why haven't you written a single word on your test paper?!"

"!!!"

Despite all the precautions, it still couldn't be prevented.

"It's over!"

Lu Qian inwardly groaned, knowing there was no escaping it.

Then we'll have to resort to that trick!

After thinking for a moment, he immediately put on an innocent expression and said, "Teacher Chen, I didn't bring my English test paper. Actually, I took Zhang Liu's."

"???"

Zhang Liu's gloating expression froze instantly, and he abruptly looked up at Lu Qian.

He stomped his foot on the ground: "What a disaster!"

Dude, you can't be this rip-off!

That's a bit too much!

He subconsciously reached out to touch his exam paper.

Upon looking,

It's also white.

He was just laughing at Lu Qian, but he hadn't even finished his own test paper.

Yellow mud fell into my crotch—it's hard to explain.

"Zhang Liu."

On the podium, Chen Shishi's voice turned cold: "Where's your test paper? Bring it up here too."

Zhang Liu's face turned pale instantly. Under the sharp gaze of the English teacher, he stood up hesitantly.

"Teacher, I just used it in the toilet."

……

……

Three seconds later, the two unfortunate brothers stood side by side, looking dejected, against the back wall of the classroom.

The two leaned against the cold wall and looked at each other.

"you!"

"you!!"

A moment of silence.

"Puhahahaha!!!"

The two of them almost simultaneously broke down in laughter, just like that classic policeman meme.

Is this considered a different kind of sharing the burden?

No matter what, Zhang Liu was still sacrificed.

The back row of the classroom seemed to be filled with the salty smell of the underachieving students' area.

Some were secretly reading novels under the table, some were wearing headphones and covering their ears with their hair to listen to music, and two people were huddled together, using their textbooks as cover to play Connect Four on their scratch paper...

All sorts of "demons and monsters" are available.

Lu Qian's head was throbbing from the intense gaming discussion between the two boys next to him.

Damn it, it's 2014 already, why are you still playing Candy Crush?!

I suddenly experienced some discomfort due to the change in environment.

At this moment, Chen Shishi had already begun explaining the next reading comprehension question. He stood at the back, listlessly watching Lin Shuyue's back as she listened attentively to the lesson in the front row, but his mind wandered involuntarily.

"Sigh, you can't really listen to anything just by standing there. You're just wasting your life, okay?"

"Who on earth invented this 'standing punishment' thing? It's harmful to both the person making the punishment and the person being punished!"

"etc……"

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Can I go find Chen Yufei now?"

He had previously declined Miss Chen's invitation because he wanted to focus on his studies.

But now that I'm being punished by standing, the lesson isn't really effective at all!

"Yeah, now's a perfect time, isn't it?"

"Since I can't concentrate on studying anyway, I might as well..."

Lu Qian felt absolutely no guilt about skipping class.

After all, we're all college graduates; who would still be a model student who attends every class?

Besides, even dogs don't go to evening self-study sessions.

Chen Yufei's initiative to contact him, regardless of her purpose, was a good opportunity to get in touch with the Chen family and expand her network.

Moreover, the other party is the daughter of the Chen family. If I refuse her after she has taken the initiative to show her goodwill, it would seem like I don't know what's good for me.

He quietly pulled his phone out of his pocket and quickly typed a message.

[Lu Qian: Senior, are you free now?]

The most convenient thing to do while standing in the back row is to play on your phone during evening self-study, because the head of the teaching department was just dismissed yesterday, so at this time, no one will catch you.

So let's play openly and honestly. Anyway, it's a salted fish zone, so we have to adapt to the environment, right?

After about 5 minutes, the other party replied to the message.

[Chen Yufei: Just finished working, what's up?]

[Lu Qian: Yeah, I'm free now, so I can come out and meet you.]

Chen Yufei: Okay, I'll drive to your school gate to pick you up right now.

[Lu Qian: OK, see you later!]

He quickly stuffed his phone back into his pocket, turned his gaze back to the podium, and acted as if nothing had happened.

Yay! After driving around with beautiful girls for several days, I'm finally going to ride in one of their cars!

Happy.

After a while, Zhang Liu, who was standing next to Lu Qian, got bored and wanted to talk to someone.

So he quietly moved to his side.

"Hey, Qianzi, aren't you bored? I can't even fall asleep in three seconds standing here. When will this ever end...?"

As he spoke, he habitually turned his head to look at Lu Qian's position.

Then, the moment he turned his head, his expression froze.

"Holy crap, where did they go?!"
