Chapter 023 Praise from the Beautiful Teacher
🕑 Added 2025-09-17 12:09:48 +0000 UTC"Thank you!" Seeing Gu Qing agree to his request so readily, Lin Junyi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He thought to himself that such a beautiful, outstanding, excellent in both character and study, and kind-hearted girl would be hard to find even with a lantern.
At the same time, Lin Junyi was also very grateful to Gu Qing for not looking down on him for being a poor student, so he seized the opportunity and asked Gu Qing about the words he didn't know one by one.
Each crisp and pleasant English word came out from her rosy and tender lips, like beautiful notes on a musical score, quietly pouring into Lin Junyi's mind.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, but the words were still clear in his mind and he remembered how to pronounce them very clearly.
Lin Junyi's heart moved, and he opened his eyes again, staring at the text and reciting it silently, then closed his eyes again. He was shocked to find that the text consisting of more than a thousand words seemed to have been copied by a copier and was clearly imprinted in his mind.
In less than half a minute, he had memorized the entire text with accurate pronunciation, clear intonation, and regular pronunciation.
Lin Junyi was secretly pleasantly surprised. His brain was much more flexible after his rebirth! He even wondered if he had memorized this text before and had a strong impression of it, which was why he was able to memorize it so quickly after his rebirth.
At this time, Teacher Chen Xuewei began to randomly check the students' recitation.
In order to verify whether his brain power had become stronger after his rebirth, Lin Junyi hurriedly turned to the lessons he had not learned. For some words that he did not know how to pronounce, he simply memorized the letter combinations.
In the past, it would take him at least thirty minutes to memorize a 300-word English paragraph, but now it only takes him half a minute, and he can memorize it instantly! This shows that after his rebirth, Lin Junyi's memory has greatly improved compared to before.
This major discovery really excited him.
In his previous life, Lin Junyi was able to be admitted to a key university mainly because of his diligence and hard work. Diligence can make up for one's shortcomings, but now after being reborn, his brain power is stronger than before, which undoubtedly gives him an extra advantage. That unattainable goal - being in the top three in the class - seems to be closer to him.
"What is going on? Could it be that time travel can make people smarter?" Lin Junyi thought about his bizarre rebirth and was really puzzled. Some things cannot be explained clearly now.
"Student Lin Junyi, please recite this text!" A strong scent of perfume drifted over. Lin Junyi looked up and saw teacher Chen Xuewei standing beside him with a solemn expression.
Lin Junyi calmed down his excitement and quickly stood up, his eyes falling on Chen Xuewei's full and upright chest. It was obvious that she had intentionally restrained it with a large bra, but because of its large size, it still squeezed out a faintly visible cleavage through the white round-necked shirt inside. If she completely let it go, how turbulent it would be!
"Please go to the podium and memorize this text completely! Don't be nervous!" Chen Xuewei smiled faintly, with encouragement and expectation in her eyes.
Lin Junyi smiled and nodded repeatedly, only to feel the bulge on Teacher Chen's chest swaying back and forth before his eyes. The perfume she was wearing was the internationally renowned brand AnasAnas. He had worked as a perfume salesman for a while in his previous life and was quite familiar with all the major perfume brands.
AnasAnas is a rising star in the classic perfume category. Its style pursues elegance and nobility, and its price is not cheap. Even though Chen Xuewei is an excellent teacher at Heep Yung Private Middle School, she cannot easily afford it with her salary.
Lin Junyi walked up to the podium with a hint of curiosity. When the whole class saw him coming up, they started whispering again.
"How could he possibly memorize such a difficult text? Humph, dream on!"
"Haha, I guess he can't even memorize a single sentence, and he still has the nerve to make a fool of himself on the podium?"
"Oh, why would Teacher Chen call him? I've memorized it by heart, but she won't give me a chance."
"Yeah, letting Lin Junyi carry it is just a waste of everyone's time!"
Lin Junyi stood on the podium and smiled slightly. He understood that his classmates had no confidence in him. Who told him to be the last one in the class for more than a year?
However, he is afraid that he will disappoint everyone in today's English class.
Lin Junyi stood on the podium, as if he was performing on stage, with a smile on his face, calmly and slowly reciting the entire English text.
Standard pronunciation and clear intonation are difficult to achieve even for good students, as they will feel a little nervous when standing on the podium.
Chen Xuewei's pretty face also showed surprise. In the past, Lin Junyi gave her the impression of being lazy and confused. Other teachers had given up on him, but she was the only one who often attended classes to urge him to study.
However, today, his performance made Chen Xuewei's eyes light up, and she was secretly happy in her heart. It seemed that since Lin Junyi sat at the same table with Gu Qing, his academic performance had finally improved under the encouragement of good students.
Any good teacher will never give up on any student easily.
"Very good! Classmate Lin Junyi, the teacher gave you a perfect score for today's class recitation. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Hard work pays off. It won't be long before your grades improve." Chen Xuewei smiled and nodded at him.
Lin Junyi walked down the platform to everyone's surprise and returned to his seat. His performance today was indeed surprising. From arguing with the head teacher Zhao Kaishun in math class to reciting the text fluently in English class, no one in Class 3 (6) had performed as outstandingly as he did in one day in the past month.
"My deskmate, you memorized really well. I don't think I could perform as well as you when I was on stage!" Gu Qing looked at Lin Junyi, a hint of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she smiled sweetly.
"Haha, I'm just more prepared. You will definitely be better than me if you go up!" Lin Junyi smiled modestly. He heard more words of encouragement today than in the past year combined.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, make sure to practice speaking outside of class and constantly correct your pronunciation. Only then will you be able to speak fluent English in the future! ...Class dismissed, everyone!"
"Goodbye, Teacher Chen!"
As her students reluctantly watched her go, Chen Xuewei left the classroom, twisting her slender waist and beautiful hips. The crisp sound of her high heels tapping on the ground gradually faded away outside the classroom.
After a while, the classroom was bustling again as if a pot of boiling water had begun to boil.
Lin Junyi suddenly felt someone patting him. He looked up and saw that it was Li Xiaoguang, the boy sitting in front of him. "Lin Junyi" had no contact with him in the past. Based on his memory, he only knew that his name was Li Xiaoguang, and other information was very vague.
"Lin Junyi, did you stay up all night last night to recite the text just to make Teacher Chen smile today?" Li Xiaoguang said with a dry laugh.
"Haha, this is my private matter, I have nothing to say!" Lin Junyi smiled faintly. He was too lazy to answer such boring questions. He did stay up late last night, but he was not reciting the text, but practicing the "Yellow Emperor Bible".
"Stop pretending. Everyone knows what your level is. The early bird catches the worm!" Li Xiaoguang was obviously jealous of Lin Junyi's excellent performance in class, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
The physical exercise during recess was about to begin, and Lin Junyi no longer wanted to pay attention to Li Xiaoguang. Lin Junyi had seen many "cheap" people like him in his previous life, and he was too lazy to bother with him. He had a typical "sour grapes" mentality. He didn't study hard himself, but was jealous when he saw others achieve some results through hard work.
The summer sun is shining brightly, and the breeze brings bursts of freshness from the swaying bamboo forest in the distance, blowing across the vast playground covered with green grass.
The yellow and white tiles of the newly built teaching building were shining, and the powerful trumpets sounded. Teachers from various classes stood in the corridor of the teaching building, looking at the young boys and girls who would not behave themselves even when they lined up on the playground.
"Radio gymnastics, start now, marching in place!"
Lin Junyi's arms swayed stiffly to the rhythm. Given his mental age, doing such a thing was too childish and ridiculous, but he still had to do it.
The standing positions of each class were separated, with boys in one row and girls in another row. The boys in the class were next to the girls in the class. Ye Youyou from Class 3 (5) happened to be next to Lin Junyi.
Ye Youyou was a lovely girl, about fourteen years old, with clever, adorable eyes that curved into crescents when she smiled. With a delicate nose and rosy lips, she already possessed the allure of a young beauty. She and Lin Junyi had been deskmates for two years. Although boys and girls were no longer allowed to sit together in junior high, Ye Youyou and Lin Junyi were the only exception. Over those two years, they became close friends, sharing everything.
Ye Youyou looked at Lin Junyi with a smile, her long eyelashes trembling slowly, her blinking eyes filled with an innocent smile, and her face exuding a teasing expression.
"Lin Junyi, I didn't expect you to change classes. It seems Li Zishan really can't stand you anymore! ...By the way, are you doing well in Class 3-6?"
"Haha, it's okay! Little Leaf, after I left, did you miss me very much?"
Ye Youyou turned around, her face flushed with embarrassment. Why did this guy become so outspoken after changing classes? He used to be very honest and never said such frivolous words.
"Humph! How could I be so reluctant to part with you?"
Ye Youyou was afraid that others would hear her, so she quickly lowered her voice.
The exercises started. The two teams were close to each other and the movements were very strong. Lin Junyi's fingers inevitably touched Ye Youyou's hands. Every time Lin Junyi could feel Ye Youyou's shrinking and dodging, then lowering her head, not daring to look at Lin Junyi.
Lin Junyi, however, pretended not to see her, still enjoying it as usual! Over the past two years, he and Ye Youyou had been very close, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were childhood sweethearts. They'd even had some physical contact, and sometimes they'd smile at each other, eyes filled with sweetness and a slightly sour taste in their hearts, but they'd never parted ways like this.
