Chapter 21: Chapter 21: I’m Too Good at This Question

Of course, a top student has the right to sleep in class.

However, teachers also have the responsibility to care for their students.

During the first language class, Chu River glanced at the tedious and complex reading comprehension, even though she still couldn’t truly understand the complex thoughts of these authors—

Like, using the color of curtains, the date trees, and the skewed nose to intricately describe what they really want to express—such subtlety.

But this didn’t affect the core understanding she derived after analyzing thousands of similar questions.

All she needed to do was get the general meaning of the article, combine it with examples she forcefully memorized, and do some comprehensive understanding.

Indeed, the test paper handed out yesterday did not tarnish her reputation as a top student.

With this level of confidence, seeing the language teacher with permed hair stepping onto the podium in high heels, she immediately laid her head down.

Honestly, just after May Day, this slightly warm weather was really suitable for a nap.

There was no danger in Mountain and Sea Star, and Chu River had gotten used to gathering her spiritual power not to extend far and wide to monitor the surroundings anymore.

This way she could sleep more soundly.

Unexpectedly, before she could indulge in sweet dreams, the desk was gently tapped—

Chu River opened her eyes, and the loving, wrinkled face of the language teacher appeared before her:

"What’s wrong, Chu River? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu River: ...

It was her first time sleeping in at Mountain and Sea Star, and inexperienced, she could only sit up again, nodding wearily:

"No, just a bit tired."

The teacher nodded with understanding care:

"Alright, you can rest for a while longer."

Chu River sighed.

With half of the 45-minute class already over, if she tried to nap now, she’d be interrupted by the next class.

This girl was really too popular.

As expected.

The second period of math class, she was woken up the same way.

The silent, white-haired math teacher looked at her with concern:

"Chu River, are you feeling unwell?"

It’s really hard to get a complete sleep!

Chu River restored her nature, showing her usual laid-back attitude—

"Yeah, teacher, I feel unwell everywhere..."

Math teacher: ...

Though her tone was odd and her demeanor wasn’t very earnest, Chu River’s previous aura was too strong, and she was indeed an understanding and endearing child.

The teacher dismissed the disquiet in his heart and gently said:

"Will it be okay to rest here in the classroom? You must be tired—I’ll give you a leave slip, you can go back to the dorm to rest. Just let a classmate inform your class teacher later."

The reason none of the teachers mentioned going to the infirmary is because the school’s infirmary is just for show, never having cured any student’s ailment.

It was only required by regulations...

Chu River’s eyes lit up!

—Such a good deal?!

Should’ve said so sooner!

If she had said this in the first period, she wouldn’t have been so reserved!

Indeed, suppressing her true self was wrong.

She quickly nodded:

"Okay, thank you, teacher!"

The math teacher also sighed:

"Alright, I’ll write it for you now, you can head back in a while. I’ll ask a classmate to bring your lunch back, and sleep a bit more since it’s hot."

Look at that, listen to that, what an amazing teacher!

Every underachiever needs a bunch of them!!!

However, at Tianshui Second High School, an unemotional education machine, teacher friendliness isn’t often extended to underachievers!

Sitting behind Chu River, Little Curls and Little Glasses were grinding their teeth with envy!

Listen to that, that tone of voice!

It’s as if they’re pampering a delicate thing!

And sleep more?

Why don’t teachers’ care shine on ordinary students like them!

Moreover, the top student who just said how boring these days were yesterday, was now figuring out how to skip class today...

That level of initiative can’t be matched!

Can’t be matched.

Thinking about their own grades, everyone could only swallow their bitterness and tears.

...

The math teacher, moving swiftly, quickly handed out a sloppily written leave slip.

Without any hitch, Chu River took the slip and headed back to the dormitory—otherwise, without the leave slip, the dormitory supervisor wouldn’t open the door!

And once the math class ended, the math teacher called the most familiar study committee member who was also the math class representative, pulling 50 yuan from his pocket.

"At noon, have a classmate bring Chu River food, give her this money, and tell her to get more nutritious things."

This wasn’t their first time doing this either.

In the three years of high school, since Chu River was slightly malnourished, she did take leave several times.

Every time, the teachers from different subjects did the same.

Their salaries weren’t high, and now all their time was occupied by third-year high school, with the education bureau also forbidding extra classes—

Tianshui City wasn’t even a developed metropolis, not even classified as third-tier yet.

The per-capita salary was relatively ordinary, contrary to the ever-rising house and commodity prices.

Shelling out a few hundred yuan would definitely sting.

Teachers have families to sustain too!

But occasionally improving the child’s diet was still feasible.

Chu River also understood this.

She was stubborn, not accepting teachers’ straightforward gestures of goodwill, but when it’s so subtle and it’s just an occasional meal...

She was always poor with words, only able to silently remember this favor, hoping one day to repay these kind-hearted souls.

The study committee member was quite adept:

"Sure, teacher, I’ll handle lunch."

Quickly grabbing the money, he returned to the classroom.

...

At this moment, Chu River, silently cared for by the teachers and fellow students, returned to the dormitory, did a bit of fake tidying up, and promptly leaped out the window.

First flipping out from the balcony, sticking to the wall like a gecko, the third floor wasn’t too high, and she effortlessly landed on the ground.

She didn’t even need to exert her full power.

After all, the old rough concrete walls were much easier than the mirror-walls of the Star Sea Era.

There were no surveillance cameras at the girls’ dorm, flipping over the back, there was a wall, behind which was a small hill, and behind the hill was a main road with a bus running to the city center.

If she didn’t want to head into the city, about seven or eight hundred meters ahead, there was an internet café.

No need to ask where she got this knowledge; the boys in the class were very familiar.

Little Curls and Little Glasses could almost recount the number of computers in the internet café and which one was the newest.

Of course, there was also a warning to be given clearly:

"Going to this internet café carries some risk! Be cautious when you start using the computer!"

The school was nearby, and the teachers’ allocated dorms were in this area, teachers occasionally went there to catch students.

Chu River thought:

I know this one!

Avoiding Star Police, community enforcement, machine locks, and surveillance was practically her specialty.
