Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

In his previous life, Chen Zhou had a bachelor's degree in computer science from a 985 university and a master's degree in artificial intelligence from a top 2 university.

After graduation, he focused on technical research and development, and spent many years dealing with English literature.

After his company was acquired by a major internet company, he was even sent abroad and stayed in the United States for two and a half years.

Although Chen Zhou's English proficiency may not be comparable to that of an excellent native speaker, dealing with high school English exams is a piece of cake, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Chen Zhou chuckled lightly and said to Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, I don't like what you're saying. Are you looking down on my English?"

Liu Xing laughed and said, "Your English is like Wu Dalang pouring water—the level is just too low. Whether I respect you or not, it's all the same in reality."

Long Jiajia, sitting in the back row, giggled. "Indeed! Chen Zhou, if your English score were even a little higher, you would definitely be the undisputed number one in our class." Long Jiajia chuckled, relieved. "But it's a good thing your English isn't good, otherwise I wouldn't have any hope of being number one."

Chen Zhou laughed and thought to himself that although his English had improved significantly, his other subjects had really weakened, so he posed no threat to him.

Just then, the classroom, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly became quiet, as if in an instant.

Chen Zhou's deskmate Liu Xing and the desk behind him Long Jiajia were also on high alert, and quickly sat up straight and started studying.

After his rebirth, Chen Zhou lost the vigilance he had as a high school student.

He asked in confusion, "No, what are you two doing? You were just chatting so enthusiastically, how come you suddenly..." Chen Zhou's voice was not loud, but he was smiling.

Before he could finish speaking, Long Jiajia quickly gave him a wink, and Liu Xing tugged at Chen Zhou's sleeve under the table, giving him the same wink.

Only then did Chen Zhou realize that something was wrong.

He looked up at the window and saw Gao Qin staring at him with a serious expression, her eyes full of authority.

There was also a hint of anger and disappointment.

This kid was just swearing to me that he would turn over a new leaf and study hard from now on, and this is what happens?

Students' mouths are deceitful!

Peng Yuting, who had secretly caught a glimpse of this scene, nudged her best friend's arm with a smug look.

Yang Qian felt secretly pleased when she saw Teacher Gao give Chen Zhou a "killer look".

Chen Zhou, weren't you so arrogant in front of me? How come you can only fall silent when facing Teacher Gao?

Ha ha.

This is called "one thing subdues another"!

You deserve it!

Yang Qian knew Teacher Gao's temperament. Given Chen Zhou's behavior just now, once Teacher Gao entered the classroom, she would definitely use Chen Zhou as a negative example and give him a severe scolding.

The thought of Chen Zhou being humiliated in front of the whole class made Yang Qian feel secretly amused.

Just then, Chen Zhou smiled slightly, waved his hand like a lucky cat, and greeted Gao Qin, "Hello, Teacher Gao."

No one in the class expected Chen Zhou to react this way. Wasn't this like touching a tiger's tail—wanting to die?

Gao Qin was also quite surprised by this. She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that her authority had been seriously challenged. Just as she was about to explode, she shouted, "Chen Zhou!!"

The students secretly thought that Chen Zhou was doomed!

Yang Qian and Peng Yuting were immediately overjoyed and kept gloating. Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou, Teacher Gao is going to give you a good scolding now!

Liu Xing, Liang Wenbo, and Long Jiajia, several classmates who were close to Chen Zhou, could only silently pray for him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhou responded loudly with "Hey!" and said "Coming!" Then he immediately put his hands on the table, jumped up, and ran out of the classroom to Gao Qin's side outside the window.

"Teacher Gao, please give this to me." Chen Zhou said with a smile, and at the same time reached out and took away the tall stack of exercise books that Gao Qin was holding, along with the top stack of test papers.

He continued, "You already work so hard teaching us, and then you have to painstakingly grade our homework and mark our papers after class. I feel so sorry for you. How can you do the homework yourself? You can leave it to me and the class representative. If the class representative is too busy, I'll be your second class representative."

Gao Qin: "???"

Faced with this scene, Gao Qin, who had just been about to get angry, immediately calmed down and couldn't even bring herself to scold him.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially since Chen Zhou is so perceptive, knows how hard his teacher works, and is willing to share his burdens.

Gao Qin said indifferently, "Alright, go in and distribute the past exam papers and practice tests. We have an exam tonight."

"Okay." Chen Zhou replied, grabbed the practice exam booklet, and went into the classroom to hand it out quickly.

Throughout the entire process, there was no scolding, no reprimanding, and I didn't even see Teacher Gao get angry...

The students were amazed and secretly clicked their tongues in surprise, all saying they had learned something new and were surprised that it could be done like that!

Liu Xing, Liang Wenbo, and Long Jiajia were all stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen someone escape unscathed from Teacher Gao's wrath.

But Chen Zhou's slippery behavior is unlike him at all! Could this be the legendary quick thinking in a crisis?

Peng Yuting was quite frustrated that she didn't see Chen Zhou get the short end of the stick, while Yang Qian, the English class representative, was struck dumb.

Oh no! Chen Zhou is coming for me!

The cunning Chen Zhou!

Yang Qian was indignant and worried that Teacher Gao would criticize her for neglecting her duty by forgetting to bring the homework.

Will they yell at me?

After Gao Qin entered the classroom, she did indeed glance at Yang Qian indifferently. Seeing that Yang Qian was silently lowering her head, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, and hadn't even thought of helping Chen Zhou distribute homework and tests, she felt a wave of disappointment.

Before long, everyone received their practice test booklets and exam papers, and Chen Zhou returned to his seat.

Liu Xing looked at him with admiration, and Long Jiajia nudged Chen Zhou's arm and gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Zhou smiled calmly, but inwardly he was relieved that he had just come up with a quick idea!

Otherwise, given Ms. Gao's fiery temper, wouldn't I have been given a severe dressing-down by her?

Chen Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Gao Qin stood on the podium and said sternly in her "little bee" voice, "The first and second periods of evening self-study today will be exams, specifically listening comprehension. Anyone who needs to go to the toilet should go now. Unless there are special circumstances, you are not allowed to go to the toilet during the rest of the day!"

Under Gao Qin's thunderous pressure, all the students in Class 10 of Senior Three were obedient and submissive. Chen Zhou also went to the toilet. When he came back, he felt the late autumn night breeze in the corridor.

At the same time, Chen Zhou deliberately chose to go back from the back door of Class 10, because the back door of Class 10 was right next to the front door of Class 9, and Chen Zhou could see Xia Yu from the next class.

Although Xia Yu was wearing a school uniform like many other students and had her head down, Chen Zhou still spotted her immediately in the classroom of nearly fifty people.

Xia Yu's beauty is not just about her top-tier looks, but also about a certain feeling she evokes – it's just so outstanding!

After looking for two seconds, Chen Zhou smiled, turned around and went back to the classroom of Class 10.

At that moment, Xu Lele came to her senses and hurriedly said to her best friend, "Xiaoyuer, Chen Zhou was looking at you just now."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu immediately looked towards the front and back doors and windows of the classroom, but did not see anyone.

Xia Yu looked at her best friend in confusion, while Xu Lele said with certainty, "It's true! But he just left again."

Xia Yu felt a slight pang of disappointment for a moment, but soon her heart was filled with joy and sweetness.

Xia Yu lowered her head and smiled happily, a sweet smile.

When Xu Lele saw this scene, she was stunned. She had never seen Xiaoyuer smile so sincerely.

Too beautiful!

Then, Xu Lele couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself: You're doomed, you've fallen in love!

……

A few minutes later, all the students in the neighboring Senior Three (Ten) class were in place, and tonight's exam began.

The tape recorder on the podium began playing tonight's listening material.

After listening to the first question, Chen Zhou found it as simple as eating and drinking. He listened to several more questions in succession, and found them to be just as easy.

He also observed the reactions of his classmates, whose faces seemed to say "so easy".

In this way, Chen Zhou had a general understanding of the difficulty of the test paper.

simple!

After the listening comprehension section ended, Chen Zhou thought to himself, "Since this question was quite easy, I used to score around 100 on English tests. This time, I should be able to get around 120 without any problems, right? I can't improve too quickly."

To avoid arousing suspicion.

As for what to do if his grades in other subjects drop significantly and he gets caught? Chen Zhou can't worry about that for now; he'll just have to take it one step at a time.

With that in mind, Chen Zhou began working on the test paper calmly and with ease.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Thirty minutes...

In less than a class period, Chen Zhou finished the entire test paper and filled in the answer sheet. He stretched and looked around, only to see that all his classmates were still engrossed in thinking and writing furiously.

How lonely is invincibility? How empty is invincibility?

Chen Zhou hummed the lyrics to himself, and soon, feeling bored, he picked up a piece of draft paper and began to doodle.

He wasn't doing this to kill time; he was drawing the art design for his first planned game—Fruit Ninja.

Various kinds of fruits, bombs, backgrounds, sword flashes, special effects...

Although Chen Zhou's painting style was quite abstract, he was completely immersed in it and did not notice that Teacher Gao had approached him.

Gao Qin came to Chen Zhou's side and immediately saw his drawing. In an instant, Gao Qin was furious.

Chen Zhou's two previous positive impressions of Gao Qin vanished at this moment.

Gao Qin said angrily, "Chen Zhou, what are you doing!"

Chen Zhou, who was completely focused, was startled by the noise and instinctively exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"Hahahaha!" The whole class burst into laughter instantly.

Gao Qin roared authoritatively, "What are you laughing at?! Do your tests!"

Less than three seconds later, the whole class fell silent again.

Seeing Gao Qin's dark and unpleasant expression, Chen Zhou said, "Teacher Gao, I've finished everything."

Upon hearing this, all the students turned to look at Chen Zhou.

No way, that fast? Dude, are you kidding me?

Even some of Chen Zhou's close friends guessed the same thing.

Yang Qian muttered to herself, "Tonight's test is much harder than before. I, the English class representative and the best English student in the class, haven't even finished the reading comprehension yet. How could Chen Zhou, a terrible English student, possibly have finished it all?"

He must have found it too difficult, given up on himself, and just wrote something random!

Yang Qian was resolute.

At this moment, Gao Qin's expression turned even more unpleasant. "You finished in just one hour?"

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "I've been working really slowly." He smiled and said, "Yes, I'm done."

"Okay! You're done? I want to see how many points you can get this time, since you finished so quickly!"

Gao Qin was very displeased. She grabbed Chen Zhou's test paper and answer sheet and walked towards the podium.

"If you don't even get 90 points, you'll have to copy this test paper ten times!"

Gao Qin made a harsh statement, and the students looked at each other in dismay, secretly lamenting that Chen Zhou was in trouble this time.

However, everyone knows Gao Qin's temperament. Although Teacher Gao does have a bad temper, she would not really make students copy the test paper ten times. But if she really gets angry, they will definitely have to copy the test paper once as punishment.

But copying the exam paper is also a painful process!!

Liu Xing and the others cast sympathetic glances at Chen Zhou.

Peng Yuting poked Yang Qian's arm with her pen. The two dared not whisper to each other under Gao Qin's watchful eye, but they exchanged glances, both revealing a look of schadenfreude.

But seeing Chen Zhou's nonchalant and fearless demeanor, Yang Qian felt very displeased.

Keep pretending!

Then, Gao Qin took the standard answers she had prepared and began to grade Chen Zhou's answer sheet.

A moment later, upon seeing that Chen Zhou had answered 18 out of 20 listening comprehension questions correctly, Gao Qin frowned slightly.

Really? Apart from the first 5 listening comprehension questions being relatively easy, the rest were quite difficult. How come this kid is so lucky?

After a while, seeing that Chen Zhou had answered 18 out of 20 multiple-choice questions correctly, Gao Qin's expression began to change.

How is that possible? Did this kid hit the jackpot today? Or was he cursed?

With suspicion, Gao Qin continued to check, only to find that Chen Zhou's cloze test and reading comprehension were both done exceptionally well, with an unusually high score!

Gao Qin was starting to question her own existence. Was this really the Chen Zhou she knew?

She decided to go all out and check Chen Zhou's answer sheet as well, checking the fill-in-the-blank questions and grading the essay.

Finally, after calculating the score, Gao Qin was shocked and wrote a total score of 123 on the test paper.

Although the full score is 150 points, the overall difficulty of this English test is very high, much more difficult than the college entrance examination English paper.

There are many words and phrases beyond the syllabus, and quite a few long and difficult sentences.

Logically speaking, given Chen Zhou's usual English level of around 100 points, scoring 80 points on this exam would already be considered extremely lucky.

He got a score of 123!

She scored even higher than Xia Yu, who was first in the grade!

Could it be that Chen Zhou and Xiao Yu'er not only really know each other, but that girl also told Chen Zhou the exam answers in advance?

It is possible!

But Gao Qin still felt something was off, so she quickly looked at Chen Zhou's English essay again.

Then, Gao Qin discovered several words and phrases that expressed meaning very precisely but were clearly beyond the scope of the curriculum.

There were even two words that Gao Qin suspected were TOEFL or IELTS vocabulary.

The sentence structure is also very beautiful!

If it weren't for the slightly messy handwriting, this essay would definitely be a perfect score.

I know Xiaoyuer's English level too well; she couldn't possibly be that good.

Could this truly be Chen Zhou's actual skill level?

Gao Qin stared at Chen Zhou as if she had seen a ghost.

But when Chen Zhou looked at her, Gao Qin suddenly stood up and said with unusual seriousness, "Chen Zhou, come out with me!"

Chen Zhou was completely bewildered by Teacher Gao's actions, and obediently followed her out.

The students, who were just watching the drama unfold, looked at each other, completely bewildered. They just assumed that Chen Zhou must have done poorly on the exam and angered Teacher Gao.

Chen Zhou is finished!
