The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

Soon.

"That's it, it didn't take much time. Did you learn it?" Lu Qian asked gently.

Ma Chengde nodded repeatedly, his notebook filled with notes.

I remember each step very meticulously, even down to the exact amount needed.

His study notes were also very well taken, but his grades just wouldn't improve, which was a source of great distress for Ma Chengde.

After reading it, Lu Qian nodded in approval.

"Not bad, your notes are very neat. Keep it up."

"These cosmetics are a gift from your teacher. She hopes to see a different you tomorrow."

Ma Chengde trembled slightly, then slowly raised his head to meet Lu Qian's encouraging gaze.

His lips were half-open, but he couldn't speak; his eyes, hidden by his bangs, were a little moist.

After a while.

"Thank you, Teacher Lu."

"You're welcome. Give me a call when you get home tonight, when your parents are home."

Ma Chengde's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what Lu Qian was going to do, but he believed that Teacher Lu was not the kind of teacher who would report to the authorities.

"good!"

Lu Qian then looked at Fan Siwen and the other girls, "Alright, it's your turn. Feel free to ask any questions, but let me make this clear: if you don't listen in class, don't bother listening to my tips in the future."

The girls nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Teacher Lu, it's just attending a class. I'll overcome the difficulties."

"Me too, I always listen to my teacher the most."

"Hehe, I'll listen to the teacher."

It turns out that girls are exceptionally persistent when it comes to loving beauty.

After speaking for twenty minutes, Lu Qian's mouth was dry.

These girls were still not satisfied.

Indeed, interest is the best teacher.

The second evening self-study session.

Lu Qian wrote six questions on the blackboard.

"This is your math homework. Finish it during evening self-study and hand it in in a bit."

"These are all the topics covered in today's class. Anyone who listened attentively can definitely do them."

Li Jun stared at the math problems on the blackboard, his mind involuntarily racing.

A few seconds later, he frowned.

"I think I... know how to do this problem!"

Thinking of this, he picked up his pen and began to write quickly in his notebook.

Other students also started writing one after another.

Although it was the last-ranked class, the previous math teacher would still assign homework, but some students either didn't hand it in or simply copied it.

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Jun looked at the six questions in the notebook, hesitating.

I'm not sure if this is correct.

This unusual appearance caught Lu Qian's attention.

As long as he's on the podium, he can see everything clearly, no matter what's happening below.

"Li Jun, bring it over when you're done writing."

"Okay."

Li Jun ran over excitedly with the notebook in his hand.

The moment Lu Qian held the homework in his hands, his heart began to pound again.

"It should be right."

"It was written according to what was taught in class."

"It should be right."

The long ordeal actually lasted only a few seconds.

"All correct. You listened very attentively in class. Good job," Lu Qian praised.

"Hehe, the teacher's explanation was really good." Li Jun chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

"Go back and memorize the classical Chinese texts."

"it is good."

Other students also came over to hand in their assignments one after another.

Not only was there less homework, but it was also much easier than usual.

It was very easy to make.

Li Jun returned to his seat, his mouth twitching into a Nike grin.

For the first time ever, I took out a book to read the next classical Chinese text.

……

Evening self-study ended quickly.

Ma Chengde treasured his cosmetics in his schoolbag, and to prevent them from getting damaged, he placed several books next to them.

After arriving home, I solemnly took it out and placed it on the table.

"Chengde, come and eat... Hey, what's this?"

Ma Chengde's mother, Li Lifang, came to call him for dinner and happened to witness this scene.

"Cosmetics," Ma Chengde replied.

Li Lifang's expression immediately turned serious. "Where did you get these cosmetics?"

Because of their poor family circumstances, she rarely gave Ma Chengde pocket money. The child was sensible and would not ask for pocket money on his own initiative.

The cosmetics in front of me look very expensive.

Even Li Lifang herself didn't have many decent cosmetics.

Hearing the noise, the father, Ma Wei, came in and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ma Chengde took a deep breath and slowly said, "Teacher Lu gave it to me. He also said you should call him."

Li Lifang and Ma Wei exchanged a glance, sensing that something was wrong.

What is this new homeroom teacher going to do?

Is this some kind of cosmetics sales pitch?

However, before they had figured out the whole story, neither of them said anything harsh to Ma Chengde.

Li Lifang called Lu Qian using the phone number Ma Chengde had given her.

Lu Qian had just arrived home when he saw the number on his phone and roughly guessed that it was Ma Chengde's parents.

The call was connected.

"Hello? Is this Teacher Lu? I'm Ma Chengde's mother. My son brought home a set of cosmetics and asked me to call you. What... what's going on?"

The voice on the phone sounded hurried and a little anxious.

Hearing this series of questions, Lu Qian didn't interrupt. After listening to them all, he finally spoke:

"Hello, Ma Chengde's mother, please don't worry, here's what happened."

"I made a deal with Ma Chengde: if he listens attentively in class, I will give him a set of cosmetics and teach him how to use makeup to cover up the birthmark on his face."

Ma Chengde is a very good kid, but he's a bit insecure. A simple makeup application can boost his confidence a lot. He behaved very well today, so I kept my promise.

It wasn't stealing, it wasn't robbing, please don't misunderstand.

Li Lifang suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her gaze fell on the cosmetics, and she spoke with some concern, "Teacher Lu, this...this is too expensive."

Lu Qian spoke gently, "These cosmetics aren't expensive; they're just ordinary samples and freebies. In my opinion, Ma Chengde's confidence is far more valuable."

"If these cosmetics can help Ma Chengde regain his confidence, then they are worth a fortune."

Hearing these words, Li Lifang's eyes welled up with tears.

How could she not know Ma Chengde's inferiority complex?

However, the family's financial situation does not support surgery, and even buying cosmetics would affect the family's situation.

The couple weren't very educated; all they could offer was verbal encouragement.

But neither of them knew what the child was really thinking.

I never expected that this newly appointed homeroom teacher would do something like this.

This was something they never expected.

They've met a great teacher!

"Teacher Lu, thank you so much, thank you so much."

"You're welcome. I've already discussed the academic matters with Ma Chengde, so you don't need to worry about it too much. But we still need your and the child's father's support and encouragement in the daily life."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, teacher."

After hanging up the phone.

Li Lifang looked at Ma Chengde with a guilty expression.

He was about to say something when Ma Chengde interrupted him, speaking with a firm look in his eyes.

"Mom, I know what's going on in our family. I've never blamed you or Dad. I can't change things now, but I'll study hard."

Father Ma Wei remained silent, not saying a word, before finally patting Ma Chengde heavily on the shoulder.

"Okay! Okay!"

"You've grown up!"
