My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn’t Need Any Comforting Chapter 61

Chapter 61

When Chen Su drew up a lesson plan for Wei Jiayu’s supplementary lesson, he also selected a few questions suitable for Qiao Shao. Although Qiao Shao has He Shen, studying was all about reviewing the old and knowing the new. It wasn’t something that could be studied just once.
Oh … There really was someone who can study it just once, but he was a one in a million exception and shouldn’t be used as a reference
Naturally, Qiao Shao was happy to have it. He said, “Let me invite you to dinner tonight!”
Because of Lan Mao’s tuition fees, Chen Su is now “richer” than him. He said, “No need. It’s also good for my studies that I’m making these materials for you guys.”
Now, this was a good student! A good student who loves learning!
Qiao Shao admired him from the bottom of his heart!
He didn’t need to be polite with Chen Su.
Chen Su came from an ordinary family, but he was not someone who would fall into the allure of money. Haggling with him over every ounce, might just hurt his pride instead. What he needed more was the relationship of equality and mutual help among classmates.
Qiao Shao completely understood.
When they were talking, the bell for noon break rang. Qiao Shao climbed back into bed before checking his phone once again.
When he opened it, he nearly jumped from fright.
There were hundreds of comments in the math society chat.
You should know that there weren’t many people in this small society, and most of these top students were the taciturn sort that interacted little.
But now …
What happened?
Qiao Shao curiously scrolled up the message.
After looking through it, his face flushed.
A group of people were discussing him, to be more precise, they were praising him …
And it was so embarrassing that Qiao Shao wanted to cover his face.
——Judging from this capable and concise problem-solving process, Larry must be a strongman who has been immersed in various competitions all year round.
——No wonder I couldn’t solve this problem, it turns out my approach had been entirely wrong.
——There are too many knowledge points involved in this question, and they are logically interlocked. If you look at this step, if you go astray here, you’ll wind up with a different result.
——This Larry tongxue is new to the club, right? It’s an immortal!
——I’ve always heard of the legend of learning gods, but I’ve never seen one. This time was a real eye-opener!
——Brothers and sisters, I think a new North star is on the rise!
—–That’s right! Larry is the new North Star of East High’s Mathematics Society!
Qiao North star Shao was so embarrassed he almost sunk underneath the bed.
What’s with this situation!
He just solved a problem, why were they overreacting!
When he scrolled up the chat history, he found the reason.
It turned out that this newly released question was not for the members to solve, but just for their admiration.
It turns out that for this question, these top students could only write out a big fat “Solution”.
And he, this unknown student named Larry, solved this problem that only this society’s idol could solve.
No wonder he became a North star&#k2026;
But the problem was!
He hadn’t solved this problem by himself!
He Shen taught him!
Between him and North Star, there was a whole entire learning god!
This matter must be clarified. Novice Qiao Shaoshao tongxue, who never dared to speak in the group, pondered for a long time and typed, “I hadn’t done this by myself, someone taught me.”
His words came out like a bomb thrown into a boiling lake, and after a short silence, the explosion was even more terrible.
Non-Left Non-Right: “You didn’t do it yourself?”
Every now and then: “Someone taught you?”
Sudoku General: “Who in our school could have taught you how to do this question?”
Green Circumference: “Brother Larry, don’t be humble. Too much humility turns into arrogance! If you’ve got what it takes then you’re allowed to be as arrogant as you want to.”
…
…
Messages came one after the other, Qiao Shao was dumbfounded.
Why won’t these people believe him!
He typed again: “I’m telling the truth.”
Sudoku General: “So, Larry, who taught you?”
Qiao Shao: “…”
The group was anonymous, and he couldn’t say He Shen’s name. What’s more, he was 99.9% sure that that person these people worshipped was He Shen himself.
Green Circumference: “Sigh, Brother Larry, you’re not thinking of saying that a god of learning taught you, right?”
Qiao Shao: “…”
But it really was a god of learning, the one you guys pay obeisance to.
Non-left non-right: “Old Green, you wake up! Would the god of learning teach people? I’d sooner believe that Larry’s a computer!”
Every now and then: “No, even if Larry were an alien, the god of learning still wouldn’t pay him any attention!”
Physics is the son of mathematics: “The god of learning doesn’t need to pay attention to anyone. Do be rational. Does a god need to pay attention to humans? After all, we don’t pay any attention to pigs!
You should be the ones who should be more rational!
What you’re saying is the one that’s most irrational, alright?!
The latter comments were even more exaggerated. Qiao Shao saw this and his mouth twitch. He wanted to know–
He Shen, just how did you interact with people!
How did you wind up with such a loner persona!
Qiao Shao couldn’t explain it clearly and so he simply didn’t say much.
Next time, he’ll carefully read the announcement and won’t mess around with it.
After a while, they’ll completely forget about this North Star.
Thinking so, Qiao Shao closed the group chat page and was about to take a nap when he heard his phone buzz.
Someone sent him a private message?
Qiao Shao took a look and it turned out to be the top pillar of the Mathematics Society!
Oh, this person’s ID is Top Pillar. Qiao Shao was surprised because this Top Pillar was the current president of Mathematics Society.
Top Pillar requested to add you as a friend.
Qiao Shao was inherently awed by top students, so he accepted it honestly.
Top Pillar: “Hello, Larry.”
Qiao Shao: “Hello.”
Top Pillar went straight to the point and said, “I want to invite you to participate in the City S high school math league.”
Qiao Shao slowly sat up and said, “What!”
Top Pillar said: “You should know, this is a spontaneous competition organized by mathematics enthusiasts in each high school in S city, the purpose being to exchange learning.”
No, Qiao Shao does not know, he knows nothing about it!
Top Pillar continued: “Presumably, you understand even better that our school has always been at the bottom, somewhere between the second to the last or last.”
This Qiao Shao knew even less.
How could their situation be so miserable? Don’t they have He Shen!
Top Pillar had amazing hand speed, and another paragraph soon came out. “It is true that our school has this legendary figure who often wins prizes in various competitions, but he won’t participate in such small scale spontaneous competition. And it also wouldn’t do for us to ask him to come and bully others. ”
Qiao Shao: “………………”
Top Pillar: “I have participated with the Vice President a few times before. You should know my level. It’s passable, but the Vice President simply won’t do. He will only drag me down. I hope you can fight alongside me. We shall recover lost ground for East High! ”
His speech had been imbued with such righteous indignation that Qiao Shao was moved. But the problem was…
Qiao Shao said: “I can’t.”
To say nothing of competitions, he even scored last in class on last month’s math exam.
Top Pillar: “Think about it, don’t rush to give me an answer. But I do sincerely hope that you can stand up bravely and make East High proud.”
Qiao Shao also wanted to stand up, but he was worried that him standing wouldn’t be much higher than others sitting!
After Top Pillar cast some righteous ardor, he then began to beg for pity. “Do you know what I encountered last time in the league? They pointed at us and scolded, saying that the entire East High had only god He Shen. Except for him, all of us were trash! Am I trash? Are you trash? Is our East High trash! We were born in East High and we grew up in East High, isn’t it only right that we add to the glory of our alma mater! ”
Qiao Shao didn’t dare to say that he really was trash.
Top Pillar ended his speech with: “I’m waiting for your good news.”
Qiao Shao did not sleep at all this afternoon!
While heading to the classroom that afternoon, Qiao Shao asked Chen Su, “Did you join the Math Society?”
Chen Su said, “No.”
Qiao Shao’s eyes lit up. “Want to give it a try? It’s very interesting, and there’s a competition to win glory for the school!”
If he could coax one of the year’s top three students to join, then there might just be hope?
Chen Su calmly said, “This kind of competition requires you to study a lot of topics not covered by the curriculum, which will affect the time I have to study the other subjects.”
Translated, he said, He wasn’t about to give up on the sea of learning for this hussy of a math subject.
The rational Chen Ge, a true all-rounder for all six subjects. He had no openings that could be exploited!
Qiao Shao can only extinguish his flickering idea.
In the classroom, he waited for a long time before He Shen came.
“Shen Ge, Shen Ge.” He called out to him again and again.
He Shen’s ears itched, like a bug had crawled in. “What’s wrong?”
This child only called out so sweetly when he had a favor to ask.
Qiao Shao hurriedly told him what had him worrying that noon, and showed him the chat log as well.
He Shen understood at a glance.
His first question though was, “Larry, is it the one from The Razor’s Edge?”
“The Razor’s Edge” was a novel by Somerset Maugham, in which the hero was Larry Darrell.
Qiao Shao was surprised and then sincerely convinced. “Is there anything you don’t know?”
He Shen smiled. “I didn’t expect you to like this book.” A novel with a lot of philosophical implications.
Qiao Shao said, “I like Larry’s outlook on life, but this is not the point!”
Qiao Shao brought the topic back and said, “The president of the society invited me to participate in the S City High School Math League, how do I refuse?”
He Shen said, “Add me as a QQ friend.”
Qiao Shao added him, and said, “Stop digressing.”
After He Shen put Larry into a group for special concern, he asked, “Why do you want to refuse?”
Qiao Shao: “???”
He Shen put down his phone. “Don’t you want to win glory for the school?”
Who wouldn’t want to! But … Qiao Shao said in a low voice. “I can’t. When the time comes, I’ll lose and only bring shame!”
Win glory? He’d only make his alma mater East High lose so much face, she wouldn’t have any face left.
He Shen said, “Qiao Guai Guai, you’re not being very good boy.”
Qiao Shao was afraid of this tone of his. “I’m trying to talk seriously with you.”
He Shen said, “You have such a solid backing in me, why are you afraid of those paper tigers?”
Qiao Shao gave him a look, “If they’re paper tigers then I’m a candy wrapper tiger.”
He’ll be seen through with a single touch!
He Shen’s thoughts started to float away. “Is it sweet?”
Qiao Shao: “Huh?”
He Shen stared at his fair and smooth cheeks and asked, “A candy wrapper tiger, is it delicious?”
The author has something to say: Lao He, please conduct yourself with some dignity!
