She slowly raised a fountain pen: "In ten seconds, I’m going to take your life. How will you respond?"
Chen Siyu: "ow!"
Bai Yuxia almost dropped the fruit in her hand.
The pre-class bell rang, and her sister Chen Siqing left Class 8 to return to her own class.
Chen Siyu smugly said: "Yuxia, how was my response just now? Didn’t my IQ just shoot up?"
Her face was glowing with the light of wisdom.
Bai Yuxia replied nonchalantly: "Does that an you’re smart now?"
Chen Siyu both loved and hated Bai Yuxia’s poise. Even when Bai Yuxia received the resources Chen Siyu painstakingly found, she still maintained that aloof look.
Clearly, Chen Siyu generously shared with her, but every ti Bai Yuxia accepted, it felt like a blessing!
’Damn woman, I will definitely tear away your facade!’
Soday, Chen Siyu will let Jiang Ning and the others see the real Bai Yuxia!
But before that, Chen Siyu said: "Isn’t it smart?"
Bai Yuxia calmly narrated: "If you were truly smart, you would never hear superficial comnts like ’You’re so smart,’ or ’Your IQ is so high.’
The afternoon sunlight stread through the glass, casting a golden veil on her profile, dreamlike and ethereal.
She looked stunningly beautiful, striking to the core.
The boys in the class unintentionally looked up and caught this scene, montarily forgetting what she said.
She continued her point: "If you are truly smart, you’ll only hear things like ’Wow, you can solve it this way,’ or ’Why didn’t I think of it?’ with the other person’s expression shocked and incredulous."
Chen Siyu couldn’t co up with a better reason to fight back.
She was so exasperated!
Woman, you’re so wicked!
Bai Yuxia felt that Chen Siyu had quite an opinion about her lately, so she decided to give her a little lesson.
"Do you have any coins?" she asked.
Chen Siyu: "I do."
Bai Yuxia took out two coins and placed them on the desk: "Put two on as well."
So, Chen Siyu placed two coins.
Bai Yuxia: "So now we have 4 dollars, right?"
Chen Siyu: "That’s right."
Bai Yuxia: "Do you have more coins?"
Chen Siyu shook her pocket, jingling with the sound of money: "Yes, I do."
"Give 3 dollars," Bai Yuxia said.
Chen Siyu: "Why?"
Bai Yuxia smiled faintly: "If you give 3 dollars, the 4 dollars on the table will be yours."
Chen Siyu was surprised: "Three for four, is there such a good deal?"
She quickly took the money.
Next to her, Chai Wei couldn’t help but say: "Chen Siyu made 1 dollar..."
Two seconds later, he suddenly realized it was Bai Yuxia who made 1 dollar.
Chai Wei: ’Damn, my IQ was exposed!’
He was just about to correct himself when Bai Yuxia’s calm gaze turned his way.
Chai Wei swallowed his words.
Bai Yuxia said: "Deal’s over."
Chen Siyu felt acknowledged and delighted: "Is it really over?"
"You even gave a dollar!" Chen Siyu rejoiced.
Bai Yuxia: "Mm, was the ga fun?"
Chen Siyu, having earned a dollar, happily said: "It was so fun, I thought you were going to fool , but in the end..."
The more Chen Siyu thought about it, the happier she got, and greed started to creep in: "Want to play again?"
Bai Yuxia: "Sure."
Three minutes later, Chen Siyu found her money decreasing until she couldn’t pull out three dollars anymore.
She sat at her desk for a long ti before she finally understood the logic behind it.
Her money had been tricked away, and she was on the verge of tears without tears.

First lesson in the afternoon, math class with teacher Gao Heshuai.
The drowsy afternoon t with the most brain-engaging, focus-demanding math class, making the tornt feel doubled.
As the math class representative, Dan Kaiquan had the privilege to nap; unfortunately, he was a progressive type who listened carefully to every class.
Gao Heshuai pointed at the problem on the blackboard and said: "I have studied college entrance exam questions over the years, and not to brag, this question up there will definitely co up this year!"
Speaking with utmost confidence, he wore a serious face.
The students had heard this line too many tis; it didn’t stir them.
Gao Heshuai, seeing the students weren’t engaged enough, continued: "Next, I will ask a student to answer."
This comnt had an excellent attention-grabbing effect, causing many to look up at the problem on the blackboard imdiately.
[Given the function f(x) = (x-2)eˣ a(x-1)² has two zeros, find the range of values for a.]
Students started working through the calculations one after another.
Gao Heshuai observed for a bit and noticed Xue Yuantong wasn’t asleep today.
Usually, when Xue Yuantong fell asleep in class, Gao Heshuai wouldn’t disturb her, thanks to Dan Qingrong’s advice beforehand.
Today, finding the opportunity, Gao Heshuai asked: "Xue Yuantong, you start us off."
Xue Yuantong glanced at the blackboard and said: "The value range for a is (0, ∞)."
Once she said this, the students looked at their draft papers, the ’solution’ they just wrote, and the atmosphere suddenly turned very still.
Gao Heshuai: "And the proof process?"
Xue Yuantong: "In my head."
Gao Heshuai withheld a breath, ultimately saying kindly: "Your answer is very good."
"But..."
Everyone thought he was about to criticize Xue Yuantong, but instead, Gao Heshuai said warmly: "In class, you can do that, but during exams, rember to write down the process."
Gao Heshuai was very lenient with top students. He called out: "Alright, let’s have the next student demonstrate the proof process."
...
After class.
Gao Heshuai picked up a stack of test papers, instructing Dan Kaiquan to distribute them, "Hand in the test papers before the end of tonight’s self-study session."
Suddenly, many students’ faces fell.
Seeing this, Gao Heshuai amusingly said: "Look at you all, aren’t you lucky to have an exam paper to work on now? Be grateful; there are no standard answers when you enter society."
To be honest, Gao Heshuai had a point, but unfortunately, at this age, not many students are receptive to philosophical truths.
The students mused: ’You assign so much howork every day, how could we even have pleasant faces!’
