Chapter 15 Taking Memory Capsules
"Yao-mei, the last period this morning is PE, I'll talk to you then, we need to speed things up."
The physical education classes for Class 7 and Class 8 happened to be scheduled for the same period.
"All right."
Helpless, Chen Yao released her grip on Zhou Huai's right arm and turned back to lead Ma Yurou, who was walking behind her.
The three then quickly headed towards the direction of Seaside High School.
"7:58, okay, you made it."
Zhou Huai had barely stepped into the school gate when he took out his phone to check the time.
"Teacher Bear... Teacher Bear."
Chen Yao, who was following behind Zhou Huai, wanted to say a few more words to him, but her gaze inadvertently swept across the room and she saw Xiong Li walking in from the direction of the school gate.
She was wearing a simple and neat teacher's uniform, which stood out in the morning light.
"Teacher Xiong."
Ma Yurou, who was walking alongside Chen Yao, also saw her and greeted her.
"Yaoyao, Yurou, hello... Zhou Huai is here too, perfect timing, I was just looking for you."
Xiong Li greeted Chen Yao and Ma Yurou with a smile, then turned her gaze to Zhou Huai standing behind the two women, and her tone became serious.
Good morning, Teacher Xiong.
Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a forced smile.
"Class is about to start, it's still early. Yao Yao, Yu Rou, you two go back to the classroom first. Zhou Huai, you come with me."
Xiong Li rolled her eyes at Zhou Huai, then took the initiative to walk ahead.
She walked in the direction of the political education building, and then went east from the school gate.
Chen Yao and Ma Yurou exchanged a smile, then gave Zhou Huai a "good luck" look before walking into the teaching building together and heading straight through the school gate.
"Sister Li, where are we going?"
Zhou Huai quickly caught up with Xiong Li and took the initiative to ask.
"You're being criticized and educated in the Political Education Building."
Xiong Li turned to look at him and smiled sweetly.
"Huh? What did I do wrong?"
Zhou Huai looked completely innocent.
"Little Huaihuai, where's my computer in the office?"
She had come to the school half an hour earlier, but when she got to the office she found that she had left some documents at home, so she went back.
"Sister Li, didn't I text you yesterday that your computer was malfunctioning and I took it to get it fixed?"
Zhou Huai continued to laugh it off, trying to bluff his way out of the situation.
"Stop joking around. If it weren't for the fact that we've been neighbors for years, and the head of discipline called, I wouldn't be helping you out."
Xiong Li suddenly became very serious, clearly genuinely angry.
"Sister Li, I was wrong, I won't do it again."
Zhou Huai didn't bother with any nonsense and apologized to her directly.
"You little brat, you lied to me last weekend, saying you needed to download some files from my office. That's why I lent you my key, and you went to play video games instead."
Xiong Li felt somewhat helpless; she had actually been tricked by Zhou Huai because she had trusted him too much.
"..."
Zhou Huai was speechless for a moment.
"Little Huaihuai, squat down a little."
Looking at his tall and imposing figure, Xiong Li gave him instructions.
"oh."
Zhou Huai had no choice but to obey and squat down.
Xiong Li moved closer, extended her right hand, and flicked Zhou Huai's forehead with her middle finger.
There was no way around it; Xiong Li was only 1.55 meters tall, while Zhou Huai was 1.81 meters tall. She couldn't reach him without squatting down.
"Ouch, that hurts."
Zhou Huai immediately covered his forehead and began his performance.
"I don't believe you. I went to your house to play cards with you before, and you pretended to be in pain every time you lost. You're still pretending now. I didn't even use much force."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at him again.
Xiong Li is 27 years old, 9 years older than Zhou Huai. Ever since she started working, her parents have been urging her to get married.
From Monday to Saturday, I could avoid school because of classes, but I had no choice but to go to Zhou Huai's house on weekends when I was off work. So I used the excuse of visiting students' homes to go to Zhou Huai's house.
She's a math genius, the kind who can count cards when playing cards. Unless Zhou Huai is exceptionally lucky, he always loses and inevitably gets a flick on the forehead from her.
"I can't hide it from you anymore. But Sister Li, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say on Monday that you were taking all the top students in the grade to Yuanzhu City next door for a math competition with Teacher Jiang?"
Zhou Huai knew that the matter was over, so he smiled and changed the subject to avoid her nagging again.
"They were wiped out in just two rounds."
At this point, Xiong Li sighed softly.
It's such a pity that I, as a teacher, can't participate.
"Jiang Chenyu, who has the best grades in our Class 7, was also eliminated? Wasn't she always number one in the grade?"
Zhou Huai asked in confusion.
"She passed the second round, but she cried after receiving a phone call last night and then applied to withdraw from the competition. I asked her why, but she wouldn't say. I was worried about her safety traveling back alone, so I came back with her first."
Xiong Li explained patiently.
"Something must have happened at home."
Zhou Huai had a deep impression of this top student because she hadn't taken the college entrance exam in her previous life, and they even became deskmates the following year when she retook it.
However, that guy was a taciturn person; he hadn't spoken more than two hands' worth of words to me in a whole year.
Unbeknownst to them, the two arrived at the fifth floor of the Political Education Office.
"Xiao Huaihuai, you go back to the classroom first. I need to go and submit some documents to the leader."
The Political Education Office and the teaching building are connected on some floors, and Zhou Huai can reach the classroom through a long corridor.
"Okay, Sister Li."
After saying that, he skipped and hopped back home in a cheerful mood.
Because I can finally see Sun Yichang, whom I've been longing to see.
But when Zhou Huai entered the classroom, he realized she hadn't come to school, and he was immediately disappointed.
The first and second periods today were math classes. This week, because Xiong Li had something to do, Liu Chan, a math teacher from another class, came to substitute for her. Xiong Li has already returned to school today, so Teacher Liu did not come.
With no teacher in the classroom, the atmosphere was exceptionally relaxed. Zhou Huai went straight to his seat, took out his phone, and sent a message to Sun Yichang.
Reminiscence, Bai: Fish Ball, why didn't you come to school? (I miss you.)
He had just sent the message when Sun Yichang replied to him in the next second.
Sharkbb:T﹏T, My mom dragged me hiking, and I've only made it to a third of the way up.
Reminiscence, Bai: Hiking? What's going on?
Sharkbb: The mountain near Yulong Temple, they say there's a very powerful monk there, and they want to take my brother and me there to have our fortunes told.
Reminiscence, Bai: I've been to that place. You can drive up from the back of the mountain, right?
Sharkbb: My mom said that climbing up myself shows more sincerity, T﹏T.
Reminiscence, Bai: Thank you for your hard work.
Sharkbb: I'll tell you later, I'm about to fall behind.
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay.
Zhou Huai put away his phone, then took out a math tutoring book from his desk and pretended to read it.
"Doubao, how do I use the memory capsule I got yesterday to recall specific memories?"
Not having enough time, he picked up the high school knowledge he had returned to the teacher, and Zhou Huai wanted to cheat again.
【Master, after taking this medicine, close your eyes and think about it; you will be able to remember it.】
"That simple?"
【The owner can give it a try.】
"it is good."
So Zhou Huai took out the memory capsule from the system space and ate it. Then he closed his eyes and tried hard to recall this year's college entrance examination math paper.
When she was repeating her senior year of high school, Xiong Li took out this year's college entrance examination math paper and went over it several times.
"Wow, I remember now, I remember everything."
Zhou Huai was very excited. He quickly took out a blank notebook from his desk and wrote down the math problems he remembered, along with the answers.
Master, there's no need for that.
"Um?"
Zhou Huai stopped writing, looking puzzled.
