After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

"Stop pursuing me, sis. I really don't like your type..."

Because he kept using the light blue color to replenish his stamina, Xu Chuan wasn't tired.

But I'm about to go back to class, and it's not good to keep letting the girl chase after me.

Xu Chuan stopped and turned around, smiling at Gao Xuan as he spoke.

"I like girls who are good at academics and good-looking, and you don't quite fit one of those criteria..."

Gao Xuan, panting, bent over and held her knees.

She didn't expect Xu Chuan to run so fast and never seem to get tired.

The light red color, representing anxiety, still dominated her body, but a tired gray had begun to creep in.

"Who do you think you are? Why would I need to meet your standards? Besides, my grades are much better than yours!"

Xu Chuan was really starting to lose his composure.

Why would this woman so naturally assume that she meets the standard of being good-looking...?

Having barely caught her breath, Gao Xuan was about to hit Xu Chuan again.

In the end, Xu Chuan was able to escape only after absorbing some light red from her and transferring some pale blue to her.

And so, after several large bottles of Xu Wanxing's black slag, his empty bottle of emotions finally gained some other colors.

Xu Chuan felt that he had developed less than one percent of this superpower.

First of all, there are still many colors he hasn't tried yet.

For example, blue is the color he's most curious about right now.

Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon hugging people in People's Square, but not a single person had a blue outline in their clothing that I wanted to experience.

This is enough to prove that blue is relatively rare in human emotions.

Chen Mo, who gave a speech this morning, was 100% blue.

Besides Chen Mo, the person Xu Chuan had seen with the most blue was Lin Xixi.

Under normal circumstances, blue accounts for about 10% of her emotional color outline.

Most of the other students had less than 5%, some were barely noticeable, and some had none at all.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Xu Chuan is capable of absorbing or transmitting other people's emotions.

However, he is not yet very proficient in the absorption techniques. He can absorb a large proportion of emotional colors, but it becomes more difficult for him to operate once the proportion of absorbed emotional colors is small.

It probably wanted to inhale blue, but ended up inhaling the pale cyan, pink, or yellow colors next to it...

Moreover, Xu Chuan actually doesn't want to absorb the positive emotions of others.

Even if he absorbs it, it will only be a small taste at most, and he can experience it without affecting other people's emotional state.

Otherwise, it would be a bit tasteless.

After all, isn't draining other people's happiness and joy the kind of positive emotions that only villains do?

At lunchtime, Xu Chuan was called over by his homeroom teacher, Zhou Min.

He was a little nervous at first.

I thought it was Gao Xuan, that sore loser, who snitched, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

"Sister Min, did you call me?" Xu Chuan pushed open the office door and walked in.

The young female homeroom teacher, with her side-swept bangs, was sitting at her desk looking at her computer. The colors she used for her hair were rather plain.

The overwhelming grayness squeezed all other colors into tiny fragments.

The moment she saw Xu Chuan, a smile appeared on her face, and the orange hue representing excitement and joy in her eyes slowly intensified.

"You're here! I see you did well on your weekly test. You've improved since last time, and your score is much higher than in the class-specific test..."

As she spoke, she waved to Xu Chuan, signaling him to stand in front of the computer and watch it together.

"Look, your Chinese score slipped this time, but your overall score still improved. Your physics score also improved. You must keep up the pace, and so does your math..."

Xu Chuan hunched over, watching the screen and listening to his teacher's analysis and encouragement.

In the current educational environment of Yiyue City, there are very few new teachers like Zhou Min who pay such attention to average students with mediocre grades.

Xu Chuan knew that not only him, but Li You was also frequently called in for talks.

Zhou Min once said in a class meeting that she would not give up on any student.

She also understands the struggles of students with low to middle grades because she was once one of them.

This is a good educational ideal, but reality is often very heavy. Since the class was divided, the average score of Class 8 in Grade 1 has been the lowest in the grade in every major and minor test.

Many veteran teachers secretly mocked her, saying things like, "She's young and doesn't know any better, she'll have to learn from her mistakes," and "If she's so capable, why doesn't she teach at No. 1 or No. 3 Middle School?"

It's so comfortable and rewarding to mentor top students; as for the average students, those with some understanding will figure things out on their own.

Those who lack understanding and willingly degenerate will at least be safe from death...

Zhou Min's teaching methods and ideals were too lofty, which made the group of veteran teachers seem very narrow-minded in comparison.

So her colleagues not only didn't admire her at all, they were also annoyed by her.

They've all forgotten the oaths they took before becoming educators.

Her relationships with colleagues and daily interactions were also the main reasons why Zhou Min felt exhausted.

In addition, Class 8 consistently ranked last in several exams after the class division.

Except for Class 1, all science students had the same average score when they were divided into classes, so there was no unfairness.

Even in this weekly test, although Xu Chuan improved and did reasonably well, Class 8 was still at the bottom, second to last, and even regressed from last week...

Xu Chuan knew that Sister Min had called him over partly because she genuinely wanted to encourage him further.

On the other hand, it was also a form of self-comfort under the pressure of high grades in her class and the ridicule from her colleagues.

My teaching method should be fine; look, Xu Chuan has improved! It's quite fulfilling...

"Min-jie, did you not sleep well last night...?" Xu Chuan suddenly asked.

"How did you know?" Zhou Min turned to look at Xu Chuan, still smiling.

"You have dark circles under your eyes..."

"I've had a bit of a stiff neck lately, ugh, this is tough..."

When facing her students, she didn't want to express too much negative emotion, so she stopped there and moved the mouse to continue checking the grades.

"Let me give Sister Min a massage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chuan walked behind Zhou Min's office chair amidst her puzzled soft murmur.

He raised his hand and pinched the back of her neck, applying slight pressure.

"Oh, haha, no need..." Zhou Min smiled, but just as she was about to lean forward, she suddenly stopped.

She felt the tightness in her shoulders and neck disappear like sand, and not only that, as the student behind her gently massaged her, she actually felt a sense of relaxation and pleasure...

This Xu Chuan is actually quite capable?

"You can also do massage? Where did you learn it from...?" Zhou Min stopped trying to avoid the question, tilted her head, and asked with a smile.

"Li Jiaxin taught me; she massages my shoulders and legs every day."

"Pretty impressive... Oh? Michelle Reis? You two..."

"Haha, just kidding. I used to give my mom massages when I was little, so I taught myself."

Xu Chuan gently pressed down twice more, completely absorbing the gray weariness from Zhou Min's body and even giving her a touch of pale blue before letting go.

It has to be said that after yesterday's experience with Xu Wanxing, he is now more tolerant of external debuffs.

He absorbed all of Zhou Min's fatigue at once, and he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

"Jiaxin's English is very good. Your English has improved so much recently. Is she partly to help you?" Zhou Min suddenly asked, as if she had just thought of something.

"A little."

At least I no longer worry about English homework; I'm having a blast copying it.

Moreover, when Miss Liu asked him a question in class, Jiaxin could even give him a hint, which was quite nice...

Zhou Min nodded. "She must have a method for learning English..."

She probably learned English so that watching raw (unsubtitled) videos would be more enjoyable and convenient...

This is a reasonable guess made by Xu Chuan based on the emotional state of Li Jiaxin he saw this morning.

"By the way, your math and physics aren't very good... How about you switch seats with Li You and sit with Ren Shu'er? Maybe that will improve your science skills?"

Ren Shuer is the class monitor of Class 8, and her grades are excellent.

She consistently ranks in the top three, but her Chinese language skills are extremely poor.

How bad is it? My Chinese composition is always off-topic, and failing reading comprehension is the norm.

This girl relies entirely on science subjects to boost her score; she's a classic example of a student who excels in only one subject.

"Forget it."

Xu Chuan didn't want any trouble.

Moreover, he felt that Zhou Min was really a bit obsessed now, wanting to take him to the next level just because he was a model of progress.

Learning isn't that simple; progress is something mysterious and elusive.

In fact, Xu Chuan himself was unsure whether his improvement in these exams was due to the influence of Li Jiaxin, his own hard work and accumulated knowledge, or simply good luck...

Don't turn back and sit with Ren Shu'er; instead of progressing, you'll regress, and then you'll confuse Sister Min again.

Zhou Min looked at the report card for a while, then rested her chin on her hand and said, "Then sit with Lin Xixi? She's good at science too..."

"Ah? Lin Xixi, um, Lin Xixi is good." Xu Chuan said with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Min laughed out loud, raised her arm, and pointed behind her with her finger.

"I know exactly what you boys are thinking, so stop with your dirty thoughts!"

"Just kidding, Min-jie. But speaking of deskmates, I really want to sit with someone..." Xu Chuan said sincerely.

"Who is it? Stop talking to me about... Princess Xixi. That's what you all call her, isn't it..."

Zhou Min sighed softly, "It's best not to give classmates nicknames."

"No, could I sit with Chen Mo?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min paused for a moment, then a speechless smile appeared on her face. She realized that Xu Chuan was still joking with her.

"Chen Mo, they're far away, let me kidnap them and bring them to you!"

After saying that, Zhou Min shrugged and said, "I can't do it."

Xu Chuan unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.

Damn, that's such an old joke, it's so cringeworthy...

Zhou Min is only 8 years older than him, yet there is such a generation gap.
