Chapter 83: Chapter 69 This Really Can’t Be Taught! (Vote for monthly ticket!)_3

"Actually, I know my biggest flaw right now is being blinded by immediate benefits, gaining small profits and forgetting the bigger picture. So to overcome this flaw, I must first work hard to earn more money. As long as I can stabilize my family, I can overcome this flaw."

Lan Jie really didn’t want to argue with Qiao Yu anymore.

Clearly, it was sophistry, but he could still find a legal basis for it, leaving him, a high school mathematics teacher, speechless.

This kid is even acutely aware of his own flaws and has proposed a solution.

A severe sense of defeat overwhelmed him.

So, not only could he not teach Qiao Yu math, but he also couldn’t teach him about life...

It feels like he’s been working for so many years since graduating, yet he hasn’t studied society as thoroughly as a middle schooler. It’s insane. How do you even talk to this kid?

Absolutely pathetic.

After holding back for a while, Lan Jie finally said, "Fine, you just focus on your stuff."

Surprised, Qiao Yu asked, "Not chatting anymore?"

Lan Jie sighed inwardly and said, "Yeah, tired, not chatting anymore."

Qiao Yu went silent, then unexpectedly spoke to comfort him, "It’s okay, Teacher Lan, don’t underestimate yourself. Actually, you’re more suited for teaching by example. I feel that if someone like you sticks around long enough, even a thug might turn into a good person. Hmm... Well, it’s not easy for someone your age to keep up with me, so if you’re tired, get some rest early."

Lan Jie glanced at Qiao Yu, his lips trembling slightly. For a moment, he was so touched he felt like crying.

So, this kid sees right through his intentions, huh?

And this guy even turned around to comfort and compliment him?

Lan Jie suddenly didn’t worry about Qiao Yu at all. With such eloquence and ability, even without talent in math, he could totally succeed as a motivational speaker!

Let him be; at least this kid can still score 57 in Morality and Law!

"Oh, right, Teacher Lan, do you snore?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked.

"Huh? Um... I shouldn’t snore, right?" Lan Jie answered uncertainly.

Living alone for so long, he really didn’t know if he snored while sleeping.

"Then forget it, I’ll get some sleep early today too. Let’s rest together. Before, when my grandpa slept, he would snore, and if he fell asleep first at home, I couldn’t sleep." Qiao Yu explained.

"Then, let’s rest!"

...

The next day, the hostel indeed provided thorough wake-up services.

However, Qiao Yu had already gotten up early, ran a lap downstairs, and returned to his room for a shower before everyone gathered to have breakfast.

During breakfast, Qiao Yu noticed that quite a few middle school students were invited to participate in the finals at Xiao Lake University, a total of more than twenty people.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that only 20 or so middle school students entered the finals this time.

After all, coming to the headquarters to participate in the finals is only an invitation, not mandatory.

If there are other matters or it’s inconvenient to come, taking the exam at home is also okay.

It’s just a matter of undergoing strict online monitoring.

Breakfast was in a self-service style.

Seeing Qiao Yu and Lan Jie not interacting much with others, an enthusiastic Little Fatty came over again.

"Oh, right, who’s that Yu Wei you mentioned yesterday?"

As Yu Yongjun sat down, Qiao Yu asked right away.

The stout Little Fatty blinked, then looked around before finally fixing his gaze on a corner diagonally behind Qiao Yu.

"In the corner to your left, wearing black-framed glasses, a white T-shirt, eating alone at the small table."

Qiao Yu turned to glance and quickly found his target.

Sure enough, he looked like a serious guy, even eating with a ’keep away’ expression.

"Did he come alone?" Qiao Yu asked.

"No, there’s also a teacher with him. Look, aren’t there a few teachers gathered at the door having breakfast together? His teacher is there too. But if it were me, considering how close Linhai is to Xiao Zhou, I would’ve come alone for sure," Yu Yongjun said with disdain.

It was clear that this Little Fatty really wasn’t fond of that Yu Wei.

Lan Jie paid no mind to the kids’ emotions but glanced at the table where the teachers were sitting. Hmm, no familiar faces.

He didn’t have any social anxieties.

However, since those people had arrived a day earlier and already interacted before, they naturally were more acquainted. Without a good opportunity, he didn’t bother forcing himself in.

Mainly, he felt a bit unsure.

Compared to teachers from those schools, Xingtie First Middle School was really not well-known.

Every year there are statistics agencies, keeping track of the number of Qingbei students from all high schools nationwide in great detail. Those consistently ranked in the top hundred are usually absolute elite schools.

Besides Xingtie First Middle School, the other teachers here were mostly from such schools. Among them, a few could consistently rank in the top twenty.

Only the four top schools in Star City could compete with them.

Xingtie First Middle School was one of those schools that never appeared on the list.

Of course, this was just a secondary reason.

The main point was these kids were taught by those teachers.

Qiao Yu was different; he was self-taught, and entering the finals had little to do with him. He was purely acting as a temporary guardian.

Everyone’s roles were different, so there wasn’t much to talk about.

It was more interesting to listen to the students chat.

...

"Oh, I can see he looks pretty capable. Probably determined to win the gold medal," Qiao Yu said casually.
