Chapter 573: Chapter 573

Teacher Wu brought Zhen Yu to the door of Class 2’s classroom just as the big cleanup at the beginning of school had ended.

Although most students were already seated, the classroom was still buzzing with noise. After all, they hadn’t seen each other during the winter vacation and surely had endless topics to talk about!

In addition, there were a few students who were clearly class representatives, now walking back and forth in the aisles, distributing textbooks for various subjects.

Teacher Wu peered inside the classroom, then turned to Zhen Yu and said, "Let’s go in!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel•fire.net

Zhen Yu nodded, following her with a composed demeanor.

Teacher Wu was experienced in dealing with students like Zhen Yu, who had been moved from an elite class.

Although she knew that such students generally feel that changing classes is embarrassing and shameful!

But after all, whether you extend your head or shrink it, it’s the same consequence!

Since she has already been transferred to Class 2, might as well start off straightforward and get it over with!

As soon as the homeroom teacher entered, the noise in Class 2’s room subsided significantly.

Almost the moment Zhen Yu walked into the classroom, Han Mingyue’s gaze immediately turned towards her!

Zhen Yu also seemed to sense it, looking back at him!

Their eyes met, and a smile appeared in Zhen Yu’s eyes, conveying a ’stay calm’ look to him.

Teacher Wu went to the podium, clapped twice, and the students below completely quieted down.

Everyone’s attention inevitably focused on Zhen Yu, standing near the podium.

"Let me introduce to everyone! This student is named Zhen Yu, and starting today, she is a member of our First High School Class 2! Let’s welcome her with applause!"

"Clap! Clap, clap..."

The sporadic applause revealed Class 2’s lack of interest in Zhen Yu.

Or rather, this was another form of indirect disregard for the ’weak.’

Having seen such situations often, Teacher Wu couldn’t muster much sympathy anymore.

But out of her intrinsic duty as a teacher, she wisely and quickly changed the topic.

"Cough! Next, I have a few more announcements to make! Everyone, listen carefully!"

With these words, not only did she immediately attract most students’ attention but also alleviated the awkward atmosphere from Zhen Yu’s cold reception.

It was at this moment that Zhen Yu deeply understood why Cao Yong had her transferred to Class 2!

The homeroom teacher of Class 2 really had a good character!

"Firstly, our classmate Kang Jian has transferred schools due to personal reasons!"

Class 2 students: "???"

That was quite sudden...

"Zhen Yu, please sit in Kang Jian’s former seat for now! It’s the one by the window, the second last row with an empty spot! If you find it difficult to see the blackboard or your view is obstructed, I’ll change it for you later."

However, Zhen Yu quickly glanced and immediately refused, "No need, Teacher Wu! I have good vision!"

"Uh ... okay then! Go ahead and take a seat!"

Zhen Yu nodded, her steps seemingly steady yet briskly walking towards the empty seat.

As she walked closer and closer...

Finally, she stopped next to Han Mingyue and addressed the boy behind him, "Excuse me, could you please make some space? Thank you!"

"Ah? Oh!" The boy, startled by her words, hurriedly stood up.

Apparently, he hadn’t yet recovered from the news of ’Kang Jian’s transfer’! It was only after Zhen Yu’s reminder that he realized the empty seat was next to his and that he had been assigned a new deskmate! He needed to stand up and make some room.

Zhen Yu had just settled down when Teacher Wu continued.

"The second matter, two students from Class 2 have worked hard and moved up to the elite Class 1! They have already transferred, and both of them are boys! I hope that in the coming days, everyone will take them as role models, strive for improvement, and enter the top fifty ranks of our grade soon! Alright?!"

Many students in Class 2 felt encouraged by Teacher Wu’s words and responded positively!

Seeing this, Teacher Wu, with a smile all over his face, continued, "The girls need to work even harder! Remember, women hold up half the sky! We can’t let the boys look down on us! Don’t you agree?"

"Right!" The clear voice of young girls filled the classroom, with Gu Qing shouting the loudest.

Although she knew that Zhen Yu was transferring to Class 2, Gu Qing no longer considered her a challenge!

Gu Qing was very confident! Because her end-of-term exam scores were nearly ten ranks higher than Zhen Yu’s!

In her subconscious, Zhen Yu was already finished! She was no longer a worthy opponent for her!

For the rest of the semester, not only did Gu Qing not want to be underestimated by the boys, she also wanted to tell Zhen Yu, "You underestimated me before!"

With such thoughts, Gu Qing’s smile was full of sweetness and happiness.

"The last matter, is about the division of arts and sciences in Junior Year."

Seeing the students’ emotions gradually calming down, Teacher Wu started discussing the third matter.

"You all know the usual practice at First High School is one arts and two sciences! But do you know how many arts and science classes each grade in First High School has?"

In a moment of silence, a boy quietly answered the question.

"Eight sciences! Two arts."

"Correct! Eight science classes, but only two arts classes! Apart from our Class 2, which is the focal arts class, only the tail-end Class 10 is an arts class!"

Teacher Wu’s tone was earnest as he said, "In recent years, the trend towards science in high schools has been growing stronger, and many students and parents believe that science students will have better job prospects! However, university graduates from the arts find it hard even to get a job! Based on this, most parents from previous years have forcefully requested their children to choose science!"

The students in Class 2 fell silent as Teacher Wu’s words hit home as an ironclad reality!

Seeing this scene, Teacher Wu couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"I can’t influence your and your parents’ decision, but what I want to say is! Mastering math and science might let you traverse the world fearlessly! But if that’s not the most suitable path for you, you need to think it through carefully! What is truly the best choice for yourself? Especially for those who have a significant subject bias!"

"Remember the old saying — a melon forcibly twisted off its stem won’t be sweet!"

"Hmmmm..." Some students started murmuring among themselves, moved by the words.

"Quiet!" Teacher Wu tapped the lectern with a board eraser, "You still have half a year before it’s time to make that choice! I hope you use this time to really figure out your true desires, and then communicate them to your parents early! Life’s crossroads are just a few, once you’ve made the wrong choice! There’s truly no turning back..."
